Oneness & THE Most Important lesson during this time of transition

Yesterday, the death toll for the Indonesian Earthquake reached 777. I also received an email using the quake victims as examples of how our belief in separation from God causes needless suffering -- proving again the old adage, “a little knowledge is a dangerous thing.”

While it may be ultimately true that personal suffering is a reflection of a person’s belief in separation from all that’s good, it's also true that no one’s personal belief is the only force in the universe. This would seem intuitive, but as we transition into our new beginning, the understanding of our mystical connection with our environment is a very important lesson. So it’s being stressed – sometimes when it’s not really appropriate.

The principle of oneness is so important that many people these days are promoting it as the ONLY principle that really matters. However, during this time of transition, which necessitates many people being displaced from their jobs, marriages, health, or perhaps even their lives (as in the case of the Indonesian earthquake victims), saying that their suffering is only caused by their beliefs just adds undo insult to injury.

We asked in channeling if some of the predicted earth changes and resulting suffering could be avoided if we all became suddenly enlightened. The answer, reluctantly, was “No. The Earth needs to purge itself of all the negativity.”

When you’re sick, you may run too hot or too cold. You may shake or shiver. Any number of reactions may occur as your body tries to rid itself of the problem. The earth isn’t sick, but it does need to purge, and no amount of positive thinking is going to change that. These times are difficult enough without carrying responsibility for the whole world on our shoulders!

Again, the understanding that we tend to reflect what we believe in our environment is a really important lesson. Still, people are suffering needlessly right now with guilt about the state of their lives, communities and the world. What everyone has to understand is that we can’t always blame ourselves for what’s going on right now.

What we’re currently experiencing is NOT life as usual. It’s simply a transition, and during this time we’re only responsible for our own reactions – not the actual events that are being orchestrated by a higher power.

We can let go of the responsibility of shaping this world into what we believe it should be. We can let go of the guilt of for not having picture perfect lives, and we can begin by letting go of the need for approval by those semi-enlightened souls who misapply higher principles of oneness to our dynamically transitioning dualistic world.
