ORDER OUT OF CHAOS

Obediah, a friend recently told me she has a feeling of impending upheaval in the second quarter of this year. What can you tell me about that?

Chaos is always a possibility, but remember, out of chaos comes change. In the beginning before the worlds were created, there was chaos - that is, no order. When the Universes were formed, everything changed and became perfect order.

The physical world operates in cycles - the turning of the earth around the sun in a year, for instance. The menses of a woman in 28 days. Spring, summer, autumn, winter. There are also cycles in human understanding. The so-called Dark Ages, centered in fear, fell away as mankind developed a greater awareness of connectedness with the Creative Source. This was extreme change, and I sense extreme change developing once again. You are about to witness a new cycle - a more compassionate, loving society, but know that it develops out of resistance. There are those who would not want it to change for fear of diminishing their power.

What is your part in allowing a more peaceful transition? Take a good look at what you are contributing to Universal Consciousness with your thoughts, words, and actions. Are you sending out thoughts of peace, or are you in fear of what may - or may never - come? Are you letting those in authority know what you want to see, or are you simply criticizing that authority from afar? Are you doing your part by doing what you know helps sustain your planet? Are you looking at those who trigger your buttons as perfect expressions of spirit?

I would say to you that, if you are in a "right" frame of mind; that is, knowing you are one with your Source, you will not be affected by anything that may be termed chaos or upheaval.

What are you doing to create a better world? Remember, you create your own experience. Are you creating out of fear, or love? 

It is all up to you.

Yes, you.

PREDICTIONS FOR 2013

Although I rarely predict anything, I do have a few things to say about the earthly year 2013. My words are not so much predictions as they are recognition of the possibilities of peace, harmony and love. While it is true that humans have free will, there is one thing that will never disappear from what you may consider life on this planet. Love will always be present. The Source of all creation, which is love itself, will always be available to the man, woman or child who opens his or her heart to it. Even in the midst of apparent "not good", one can feel that love. Closing off the heart to the experience leads to a feeling of separation and despair. In truth there is neither.

Joy will abound when people recognize that they are never separated from Source Energy. Daily, you will find more and more people who know this truth, that what I call "The One" is all there is. You can place your bets on an increase of this knowledge in the coming year. In truth, we all know it, but some have not yet allowed the knowing in their conscious thinking.

That is about to change. In this thirteenth year of the century, many changes will occur - some because of resistance to love and some from embracing it. If you want to contribute to the shift from sleep to being fully awake, meditate daily on loving what is - not matter what it is. Love the butcher, baker, thief, priest, assassin, child, lover, or whoever else comes into your awareness. Love what is in the newspaper and, if the appearance is "not good", know it is not the truth. Love heals, so love the dis-ease, the ache, the heartbreak, and know that none of it is true. Love the fish, the goose, the tiger, the tree, the ocean, and all of nature if you want to see a healed planet.

Love the food you eat and the water you drink, and give thanks for how these things nourish and nurture your body.

Love the servant and the king, the worker and the boss, the entrepreneur and the executive. All are necessary and all are deemed good.

Above all, love yourself. Only then will this physical world open up to the wondrous possibilities that are available to you. You are greatly loved by all of us in this dimension, more than you could ever imagine. Allow it to be a part of your awareness.

Know that, in 2013, all is well. Eliminate judgment of the appearance of anything less, and the world will open to a whole new understanding of the inter-connectedness of everything and everyone.

In truth, there is no "other". The other is you and you are it, for we are all one.

So it is.

Obediah, what is compassion?

Obediah: Compassion comes from a desire of the individual to alleviate suffering. The better road is to look at suffering, at least where another human is concerned, as a conscious or subconscious choice. When you do this, you can honor the other's choice and simply love and respect him for what he has chosen.

Knowing the truth of another's perfection is a far better way to help him than to have sympathy.
