Good day entities. And a fine day it is, indeed. In these current times
an experience of great magnitude has called forth the expression of grief
amongst those of you directly involved with the experience and those of you
who are what is termed to be on the outside of the experience, looking in.
It would be considered to be the worst of situations to be an active participant,
yet I offer to you that being an observer brings its own brand of deep involvement
and certainly the triggering of emotion and its consequent experience.
In the workings of creation, as you know, thought and emotion join together
to trigger a vibrational frequency of such magnitude as to initiate manifest
reality. But how is it that some mutual experiences appear to be so selective?
In other words, if two people are, for example, sitting in the same car as
floodwaters sweep that car in the torrent of current, why might one person
panic and drown while the other survives to tell the tale? The mechanism
of creation works the same for both people; both people think thoughts triggering
feelings that join to be the essential consciousness in the moment. This
consciousness/vibrational frequency acts as a call upon the universe to engage
with the vibration and through magnetic attraction, consciousness draws matching
consciousness to be articulated in a manifest creation. This is the reality
you each have created to experience based on your soul’s journey, your
attitudes and your beliefs.
Knowing this, it is immediately seen that thoughts are key to the type of
experience you partake of. Returning to our example, the individual who drowned
drew the exact conditions to themself to create that experience and the person
who survived did the same. Are they victims to their thoughts? No. Are they
victims to their experience? No. From the observer’s point of view,
is it possible to understand creation and the principles of creating your
own reality, watch massive numbers of people in the process of just such
a creation and still grieve? Of course.
Understand, dear entities, that the understanding of creation and the applying
of its principles consciously and deliberately is a most powerfully loving
expression. Remember, love is the basis for all of life and life is everlasting.
Experiences and expression change and modify, but life goes on, even for
those individuals who appear to have left the plane through death.
From the global community, there has been an outpouring of love and of grieving
for the individuals, both living and dead, of the Hurricane Katrina. All
peoples everywhere are connected by the common bond of humanity, of species
identification, and of the deepest levels of creation, being unified through
love. Everyone can identify with the feelings of panic, devastation and loss.
And it is through these feelings that grieving can occur and be as deeply
felt and experienced as to have been through the direct experience personally.
It is to grieving I wish to address my words this day. Such deep and inconsolable
sadness as occurs during a major disaster such as Hurricane Katrina touches,
indeed, the world as a whole, as we have spoken, some on a direct and very
tangible basis and some on the poignant level of horrified observer. But
grieving occurs at every level of expression and under a wide variety of
circumstances. Remember this. One grieves when one feels loss, whether that
is loss of life, loss of a way of life, loss of potential, material loss,
or loss from any perspective.
Now, back to our example, imagine the grieving of the individual who survived.
Another expression of loss is the guilt that ensues when you don’t
directly lose but perceive that you are the recipient of grace. Why you and
not someone else? Guilt engenders a sense of loss that is deeply registered
within as the loss of peace of mind, the loss of grace, the loss of ease.
And there is much guilt in your world. People everywhere are making judgments
of themselves for being the survivors of life, for being the ones that seemingly
continue to thrive. How many of you feel guilty that you did not do more
during a call for help from someone in a time of crisis, large or small?
How many of you feel guilt because you are alive? How many of you feel guilt
that you are successful and abundant while others are not?
On the surface, these questions may appear oddly out of context. They may
trigger an uneasiness within you that belies your sense of spiritual correctness.
They may trigger outrage.
I offer these ideas because it is vital for you to feel what you feel regarding
guilt, recognize these feelings and allow them release. Guilt, another form
of fear, is a massive anchor on your flight to freedom. The nature of guilt
is to have you avoid feeling it. Most people will do anything at all to relieve
themselves from the onus of guilt, even to the point of blame and accusation
of others as responsible. Guilt is such a weight and burden to the soul that
escape seems the most appropriate avenue to follow. I assure you it never
is.
Can you grieve without guilt? Certainly, however, the subtle link of conditioned
thought sets up the oft-repeated scenario of innocent grieving with a deep
sense of compassion turning into a state of feeling guilt for not being able
to take care of all the pain or misery surrounding the loss. Consider an
example, if you will, of a trip to the local animal shelter. You decide to
just look around and see if you and an animal there could bond. Making a
home for a homeless cat or dog seems a compassionate thing to do and you
are a compassionate person. You have room and finances to support just one.
Now, imagine yourself picking just one amongst the plethora of sweet and
expectant faces, all wonderful animals with so much potential and life. Is
there any guilt coming up? Your compassion wants to find a home for them
all. Guilt that you cannot often becomes your experience.
My channel, Brenda, had a recent experience that exemplifies this very thought.
Having been pet less for several years after their beloved cat and dog both
passed over weeks apart from one another, Brenda and her husband, Jack were
finally feeling ready to open their lives to another animal friend. A stray
cat, sweet, tame and loving had been, as you say, “hanging around” and
one evening came over to her. It was love at first purr. Brenda fed and watered
him and provided a comfortable bed outside on the patio. She smiled as she
watched him lounge comfortably in the bed. A quiet intuitive thought arose
within her that maybe that substituting the pet carrier would be a good idea,
but she saw how comfortable the cat was and dismissed the intuitive clue.
In the early morning hours, she was awakened by a loud thud and the brief
cry of the cat. Turning on the light, she saw that the pillow of the bed
had been flipped over and was about two feet away. No signs at all of a struggle,
but she knew immediately that an owl had made this little cat her meal.
Grieving took over and then anger that Brenda had not listened to her intuition
and provided the more protective carrier. For days she ran and re-ran this
scenario over in her head and heart, grieving and guilting over it. Of course,
guilt always requires punishment and her punishment was the pain of feeling
a good deal to blame. She understands creation of reality and personal responsibility
for all aspects of it, yet this seemed out of her control to get beyond.
She asked for my assistance. I offered it in the form of a question. I asked
her, “Can you feel happy for the owl?”
This question seemed out of context to her feelings and shocked her a little
but triggered her to help herself by broadening the picture, understanding
and allowing for the creative impulses of all involved and recognizing that
there are no victims. She can now look back to the sweetness of the cat and
how he had warmed their hearts without her nurturing guilt or engaging in
fear.
I invite you to examine your own experiences and expressions and find those
moments when you allow the love that is the basis of all things, to be overshadowed
by the repetitive thoughts engendered by fear. Certainly, when you feel loss,
honor your feelings and grieve. Soon you will remember that life thrives
in forever, eternal fashion and be soothed. You will be buoyed by the remembrance
that loss is perceived and can only have power in your creative fields if
you provide the space for it. In other words, there can be no true loss when
you understand that life is forever. If you find yourself reliving a form
of your own punishment through grief and guilt, broaden your view, see the
beauty of love and remember that you are that love. All things are love.
Life is love and love is forever.
Holding in your mind and heart the image of love and the power of creation
combined with the absolute knowing that you are not a victim of creation
on any level, then you will be in a pure and true position to assist with
the power of love, the survivors of a disaster or the puppies and kittens
watching you as you leave with just one. Love is the great balm of the universe.
It is yours and everyone’s to share freely. The more you share, the
more there is to share. Love expands by sharing and it is one of the great
joys of life to live in the clarity of that.
I am Nademus. I bid you adieu. With God you are and I am. So be it. Indeed.
