Change is Continuous

Early into the 21st century we find new buzzwords and phrases are surfacing. There is an abundance of speculation, using these words, as to what changes this new millennium will bring. Judgment day, doomsday, the second coming of Christ, the antichrist, false prophets, earth changes and upheavals are only a few of these prolific prophecies.As a spiritual counselor and teacher, I am frequently asked for my insights about these prophecies. Some of the questions I am asked are; “Is the Pope the antichrist or is it President O’Bama?” “Could the antichrist be some Mideast dictator?” Others have called wanting me to tell them where and when the many earth changes will take place. Some of these questions include; “Will Arizona fall into the ocean with California?” “Is Arkansas a safe place?”: “Will the great lakes really flow into Illinois putting Chicago underwater?”: “If I buy land on the east side of Albuquerque will I own ocean front property?” Some of you may think I am joking or making up these questions. I am not.I, also, want to make it clear that these questions are not coming from doped up metaphysical gurus. Mainstream men and women who are teaching your children, managing your businesses, investing your money, fighting your criminals or doing surgery on your body are asking these questions. Fear of the unknown finds a home in no particular profession.I am not putting down anyone for asking questions for curiosity is a forerunner to learning and learning is a forerunner to knowledge, which is the absence of ignorance. These inquisitive people are the seekers of truth. They are the ones who are voicing their fears. They are the souls who are facing their demons. Only when they face them will they be able to dispel of them. Only recently, when the Pope visited near where I live, did I realize how volatile a society filled with fear is. The Pope emphasized “Thou shalt not kill” relating it to abortion and capital punishment. His words inspired many “pro-lifers” to attack abortion clinics and kill the doctors performing abortions in the name of God. Does this not seem a bit oxymoron?In his speech the Pope also pleaded with his parishioners to do away with capital punishment. The governor of the state of Missouri promptly commuted the death sentence of a prisoner, soon to be executed, to a life sentence. I imagine the other prisoners on death row are hoping the Pope returns to Missouri at the time of their execution.You may think we are blaming the Pope for the response from his followers. We are not. He has a right to give his opinions of right and wrong like anyone who lives in a place where free expression is honored. We are only using these recent events to illustrate that fear is a powerful force. In these illustrations the Pope’s words incited a group righteousness that resulted in action not too dissimilar to the witch hunts of the dark ages or for that matter, in more recent times in America, the witch hunts of Salem, Massachusetts. I fail to see the differences.Concerning the questions asked me about the earth changes and doomsday scare, the earth has been forever changing, as does everything. The only thing constant is change. Everything is energy and all energy has its own vibration. It is a scientific fact that the earth’s vibrations are increasing, speeding up, becoming lighter. The results of the earth adjusting to these new vibrations are quakes, hurricanes, volcanic eruptions and the like.As an intricate part of the earth, humans, too, are finding it necessary to change or adjust to the new vibrations. Therefore my advice to those who call with earth change questions is to instead focus of self-change. I advise them to become aligned or in harmony with the new vibrations of the earth. “But how do I do this they ask?”Fear is one of the heaviest or slowest vibrations. When we, humans, are filled with fear or operate from its vibration, we are like a 110amp appliance plugged into a 220amp outlet (the earth). It is no wonder we occasionally blow a few circuits. It is time to raise your vibrations to 220amps. Discard these fears (heavy energy) and you will raise your vibrations. You will find yourself operating your life smoothly and with much greater power.As far as the anti-Christ questions, I feel the only true anti-Christ is the fear within us, not some turbaned Middle Easterner. Your anti-Christ is the hate, bigotry. greed, righteousness, etc. that this fear produces. Just as I feel the only “Second Coming of Christ” is finding and strengthening the Christ within, your God-self, not someone with sandals and long hair. The more dominant your Christ self, the higher are your vibrations, for your Christ is a conqueror of fear.Could this not be what the ancient spiritual teachers meant when they said; “…enter thy inner closet and live where love resides” or “…know and love your Buddha for it will show you “the Way”.”? Continue to focus on the catastrophic changes or events on earth if you want to, (I do not judge you), but I chose to focus on the wonderful changes within myself as love (my Christ) conquers my true foe, fear (my anti-Christ). I just ask that you not judge not me either.
