There is a ‘spiritual test’ so to speak, that is taking place and most humans are missing it altogether much less passing it. What is this test? It is graded by how each individual behaves in our most difficult of times. The shift from our dense existence to a New Earth is truly taking place, if one chooses to participate. Only through transformation can great change happen and great change truly IS happening now. Yet, in typical human form, most battle it. We struggle to maintain ‘normal’ which has never been healthy for us in the first place. We argue and fight for our personal beliefs and our focus is on the well being of ‘me.’ The biggest test of all is whether or not we will choose separation or unity. It appears that most are flunking the test. Humans truly are the most interesting and baffling species in the universe.
The big test is not if we can argue our point for ‘good’ or what we feel is best for ourselves and the planet, but how we treat one another in our challenges. That’s it. The final result of our past abuses to the planet and one another is playing out, but our true test is determined by whether or not we extend kindness, compassion, compromises and unity to one another. Will we come together to find solutions and respect one another and our planet? Will we recognize the beauty in diversity or demand the ‘sameness’ that has never worked for anyone. Somehow we keep missing this amazing opportunity which, on occasion, shows up for us to evolve. Are we passing the test?
While the planet appears to be in a state of chaos and conflict, I for one hold fast to the belief that there is a strong percentage of humans that are waking up. Yes, it looks bleak, but while the squeaky wheels are being heard, there is a quiet movement of peace and transformation that is opening the gateway to a new world, a new earth, where there is hope. Fast food restaurants are offering vegan and vegetarian choices, major department stores are eliminating the sale of fur, communities are coming together for global prayer and meditation, and a great movement to find inner peace is under way. It is true that although some of these changes are self-serving, it is proof that the public truly does control even the big corporations. If we make better choices, they will have to offer them. It is that simple.
Some of the choices we must make are quite inconvenient. My sheets and towels are not so white since I stopped using bleach, along with my teeth that I no longer scrub with toxic chemicals. I stopped taking allergy pills years ago, gave up the purchase of anything that harms the planet (when possible), and shut down the news over a decade ago. There is a deprogramming that must take place and within that, new choices will evolve. I am sure my sheets will be whiter again one day. It isn’t what I will think about on the day I leave this planet. What counts is how I treated it, along with my fellow humans.
The ego wants what it wants and there will be those who test our patience. They are not the problem, but our best teachers. It often feels like the meek get overlooked and never get ahead. But you know what it says in the Bible, “the meek shall inherit the earth.’ Those are the people that aren’t shaking their fists and spewing hate, but planting gardens, feeding the hungry, and tending to the lonely. And I don’t mean the ‘poor’ meek, but the abundant, strong and confident meek who know that power comes from within and ‘creates without.’ I am referring to a movement of peaceful people who understand that it isn’t what you have, but what you do with it that counts. All tests.
So my question for you is ‘are you clinging to what was’ or are you ready to move into something amazing. Yes, change is uncomfortable, but change is constant. We can head in the direction of unity and respect, or one of conflict like we always have. You hold much more power than you realize, starting with no longer using plastic and not arguing your point with your neighbor. It is that simple. Are you passing the test?
