December 21, 2012 is behind us, and the world is, not
surprisingly, still intact. There
will always be periods when fear takes up a good deal of our collective
awareness, and that is as it should be, because large-scale fears of doom
provide very potent opportunities for us to choose even more intentionally what
truth we will serve.
I remember another period of fear that happened not too very
long ago; it was called “Y2K.” My
son was 10 at the time, and worried about all of the predictions he was
hearing. On New Year’s Eve I
remember telling him that throughout history people have predicted the end of
the world, but we are still here.
And I explained to him that when people confront their fears and walk
out the other side they are better for it, because they grow in their awareness
of what is true. He understood
that, in his way, even then.
I work in healthcare and interact with many people every
day, and I am struck by how many people in the past month have said, “2013 is
going to be a really good year.”
Collectively, we recognize the energy and know it to be true. The end-of-the-world hopelessness that
has affected us, even though it was mostly unconscious for the majority of us,
has past, and people recognize a new beginning, which is exactly what the Mayan
calendar was all about – the end of one period, and the beginning of an
entirely new and different one.
I believe that people are connecting in their hearts with
hope, aware at a very deep level that we are healing, personally and
globally. At this point in our
human evolution, healing our world and all who inhabit it is the most important
and sacred thing that we can do.
On the surface the task seems too vast to even consider, and we
literally do not know how to begin.
But as humanity moves forward in its unavoidable evolution to knowing
ourselves as the beings of light that we truly are, we get closer to knowing
the true power we have in creating a world that works for all.
I write this on December 31 2012, the 27th Annual
International World Healing Day.
It began on December 31, 1986, at noon Greenwich Mean Time, when 500
million people on 7 continents, in 70 countries, from 500 spiritual and
peace-related organizations, took part in the most comprehensive prayer in
history, creating a global mind link aimed at reversing negativity on many
levels (taken from the website).
Our Unity Church took part in this worldwide prayer this morning, as we
do every year.
Some time after the 1986 beginning the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute
reported “remarkable progress toward a
peaceful world,” manifesting as a “break in the pattern of a constant increase
in the number of major conflicts with which the world had grown accustomed.”
From our limited individual perspectives, this may not seem
like truth at all. It often seems
as if conflict continues to increase in both frequency and severity, but in
looking back over just my lifetime I see that that is not the case. We are definitely more bombarded by it
via the Internet and our immediate access to information.
Regardless of appearances to the contrary, we can, and we are, using the power of our collective
intention for good to move without error toward the truth of who we are, Divine
Creators made in God’s image, manifesting through the physical.
May you hold the light of your intention on healing yourself, our world and all of humanity, and may this tool be a blessing. . .
