Well Ken Ring was right. Christchurch, Twizal both got Earthquakes on the weekend. So it just shows that ancient science was perhaps as accurate as modern science is. At least now he can continue his good work freer of the criticisms of the doubters. Far from begin the gullible type myself, I have observed time and again how reluctant we in the West are to accept anything that doesn't fit in with our 'accepted' parameters. A friend recently said, "I get so sick of the Naysayers" and I have to agree. I read an article today poking fun at the Mayans and saying they were stupid and got it all wrong because the catastrophes are happening now rather than 2012. Duh! It was researchers in the West that came up with the 2012 date of alignment with the Mayan calendar, not the Mayans and yes, I think they did get it wrong-by about 2 years. But it wasn't a bad shot. Ken got it wrong by about 12 hours. That's an even better shot. Everyone gets it a bit wrong sometimes but that doesn't mean they don't know what they are talking about. Exact science is also limited. We fool ourselves if we think we can 'get it right' when we are living in a fluid world in a fluid Universe. But we can 'sense' things and be in the right ball park enough to be able to have the information we need to preserve ourselves and our species if we get over 'knowing it all' in our heads.
Like everyone else I know, shit has been coming up for me this last few weeks. Mini-quakes filtering up from the depth of my consciousness that I thought had long since gone. But they were ready to be stirred up along with the other seismic activity to be worked at again and have another sliver shaved off the issue and hopefully dealt with. And I have realised that I must deal with it because to not do so would be to become ineffective in my work of assisting others to do the same with their own stuff. There is no more time to take 5 year sabbaticals from life. We all need each other to be there for each other: warts and all. Its not about anyone being perfect (although God knows- I think a part of me would prefer it if I were), its about being willing. Its about mustering up as much self honesty as we can find in each situation to own our own stuff and hand back whats not ours. That takes courage, but right now is not the time to self flagellate or to go hide under a rock, both of which I have been known to resort to occasionally. Imperfect beings that we are, we need each others strengths and skills, every one of us.
And we all have things to offer. Whether its a listening ear, the ability to physically get stuck in, the knowledge of the Universe, or a good way with kids, we are needed and must value ourselves for that if we are going participate in the shift of the ages. If we are going to survive and thrive where the earth is taking us (wherever the hell that might be). There is a tool in Psychosynthesis called Unconditional Love and Forgiveness. Rather than it being about forgiving and forgetting, its about accepting the truth, learning from and then moving on from while sending Universal Love to the situation or person. Its something we must learn to do daily because its a bit like learning to walk, we'll be doing it everyday for a long time. It is needed wherever things have turned out differently to what we had expected and hoped for. It occurs when our boundaries have been violated and when we have violated someone else's. It occurs when people have disappointed us and let us done and we have done the same. Its not about suppressing anything. We must accept where we're at with it, learn from it and choose again based on the new information we now have. I recommend it as a tool worth carrying around with you as we move through these times where people and ourselves included are dealing with so much more than we usually have to and slip out of their center into the shit. But lets pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, learn, grow and move on through the next challenge until we find the safe harbour somewhere up ahead. It wont happen yet because we are only entering the tunnel of change. But it will happen.
I wish you all the strengths and courage, hoesty and willingness you will need to walk your own path through these times. Jay!
