She pointed out to me all the people that she knew that had family members who got the virus and had passed. Then she spoke about her co-worker who lost her twin sister and how B is trying to help her through her grief. As I drove home I realized we have two different roles. B is to work with individuals, as she always has always had the compassion and love to care and support another. My role is the greater good, as a lightworker, to resolve the dark into the light. Perhaps this is why she is empathic and I came in with my attention on the good. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pollyanna is all grown up to bring acceptance,\nunderstanding, and forgiveness to the Whole. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>July 9<\/strong> &#8211; Is this Covid thing working for human awakening?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just watched an episode from the David Icke show on Gaia; it\nwas about human programming.

The few that always come to mind are Jesus: you reap what you sow;\nCaroline Myss: what is one is in the whole. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I didn\u2019t spend any time on this; it was just an exercise I\nthought I would take up one Sunday morning. Soon after this I watched the movie\nthat Daryl Anka made about channeling Bashar which became available on Gaia. It\nis called First Contact. In the film they show scenes of Barshar channels and in\none he gave the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bashar: Five Laws of Creation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol><li>I \/You exist.<\/li><li>Everything is here and now.<\/li><li>The one is the All, the all are the One.<\/li><li>What you put out is what you get back.<\/li><li>Everything changes except the first 4 laws. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>There it is. The summary I was thinking of \u2026 Universal\nTruths all placed together. A nice short list that I can now related to the\nlessons engraved into my mind. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first is my first lesson \u2013 I am an eternal being. Or, as\nmany have quoted \u201cWe are spiritual beings having a human experience\u201d. Deepak\nChopra I have as attributed to this quote from early in the blog. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The second Truth has no greater teacher than Eckert Tolle\nteaching \u201cThe Power of Now\u201d. Michael Singer also does a great job helping us to\nunderstand that living only happens in the now with his great lessons on\nmindfulness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The third Truth is what Caroline says that rings through my\nbeing continuously, \u201cWhat is in one is in the Whole\u201d. This has been a great\ntool for me in my reflections when I am trying to understand something and can\nrelate society issues to cells of the body or connections and flow to leaves\nand branches on a tree. I think the biggest lesson I took from the Course in\nMiracles what to question myself \u201chow can I look at this differently?\u201d This\nTruth is the stepping stone to different levels of perspective: how do cells\ninteract, how do animals, people, mystics, Jesus, Stars, and Galaxies \u2026 on and\non. Wonderful tool!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Truth four of what you put out you get back is what Jesus\ntaught that you reap what you sow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although \u2026 there is more here. I always saw this in a\nnegative sense, like a warning, to be careful not to do bad as bad will come\nback. But there is the other side, law of attraction. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What I like to say to myself \u2026 believing is seeing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And today I understand our lives are the physicality of\nenergy and vibration. Magnetic attraction, vibrational resonance and harmony\nare in play to bring us the experiences that are drawn to what our\nconsciousness (an energy field) is creating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And the fifth \u2026 Everything changes. This has never been more\nobvious then today: a world that wishes to grow, a people that are questioning\nand throwing away old beliefs. Conscious evolution. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks HS for bringing me what I sought, as you always do. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>July 30<\/strong> &#8211; Thank you Dr. Immanuel. I saw you introduce yourself to the nation on Monday. I felt hope, light inside that this virus burden can go away. There is cure you said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On Tuesday I saw that your group, America\u2019s Frontline\nDoctors, was censored. &nbsp;On Wednesday on Twitter\nI saw the footage of this doctor being attached on main stream media. On\nFacebook I saw my spiritual groups rising up to support her. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This morning my mind started playing through conversations\nwhere, if I had to, I would support her spiritual beliefs that are being\nridiculed in the media. My mind suddenly shifted to a mantra I haven\u2019t thought\nof in a while. \u201cNo attack.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When my mind went back to the role play argument with the\ngoal of \u2018no attack\u2019 my perspective broadened. Suddenly I could see and\nquestion, why is the MSM attacking this doctor? Why is there this fight against\na cure to the virus? I think this may bring the most to a conversation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I think this is a very good insight. To not be defensive or\noffensive will allow for a new, broader perspective.&nbsp; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>July 5 &#8211; Had lunch with B today. \u00a0She seemed uncomfortable that a few times in the past weeks I have said that everyone needs to get the virus.
