Why is there so much energy around these significant weather events?  While some of these disruptions stem from human negligence, it’s important to recognize that much of it is necessary as Earth undergoes a cleansing process, releasing unwanted energies.

Take the fires, for example.  They may claim what you hold dear, but remember, recovery is always possible.  Humanity’s limited understanding of divine creativity has led to some struggles.  It’s crucial to remember that you cannot judge God by the standards of your own life.

God, whether seen as a separate entity or as a part of everything, has allowed both good and evil to flourish in the same world.  Even what we perceive as negative has emerged from the same creative source.

So how can you remain centered amidst all this chaos?  Rudyard Kipling’s poem “If” comes to mind, offering wisdom on maintaining calm and integrity.  We’ve included it at the end of this post for reflection.

A daily practice of connecting with God, or Source, can help.  Whether you’re walking, running errands, working, or caring for your family, invite God to work through you.  If you’re a parent, consider invoking the divine mother or father to guide you.  This can enhance your parenting, especially in challenging moments, saving you from regret and creating beautiful memories.

Yes, change is underway, and yes, there are significant lessons to learn.  However, these are also opportunities to see what life can be and to make better choices.

Embrace this as a new part of your personality, one that will grow and reflect your true self.  As you do, you’ll start to recognize the greatness emerging from within you.

Your mastery is hidden, but through daily challenges, interactions, and devotion to the source, you can transform into your highest self.

Many of the lessons you’ve learned have been painful, but pain is ultimately a choice after the initial impact.  I’ve often mentioned the concept of a blow to the heart, described in “Beyond the Flower of Life,” Chapter 2, as an opportunity for growth.

If you’re willing to confront your pain and evolve through it, remember that pain and suffering are fleeting unless you choose to relive them through memory, which only prolongs the hurt.  Just as picking at a scab reopens a wound, revisiting pain keeps it alive.

We encourage you to remember that you are a co-creator.  When you dwell on painful memories, you are re-inflicting that pain on yourself.  Instead, let the pain dissolve.  Reflect on what you can learn and ask why you might have drawn this experience into your life.

If you’ve read this far, you may be part of a larger purpose.  You might be playing a role in a collective healing process, holding space for humanity’s transformation.  Emotions, whether yours or others’, can become stuck and need to be cleared.

Once you recognize this, you can let go of judgment.  Humans are always searching for the “why,”  but “why” is less important than “experience.” If you’re helping to balance humanity’s energy, it’s not about Karma anymore.

To close, Karma is no longer a “thing.”  You can free yourself from the cycle of drama and pain by declaring, “I’m now in the zone of no more Karma.”  Humanity has learned what it needs to, and you no longer have to play this game.

I send you blessings and gratitude for your love and dedication.

“IF“ by Rudyard Kipling

If you can keep your head when all about you   

    Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,   

If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,

    But make allowance for their doubting too;   

If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,

    Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,

Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,

    And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;   

    If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;   

If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster

    And treat those two impostors just the same;   

If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken

    Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,

Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,

    And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings

    And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,

And lose, and start again at your beginnings

    And never breathe a word about your loss;

If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew

    To serve your turn long after they are gone,   

And so hold on when there is nothing in you

    Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,   

    Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,

If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,

    If all men count with you, but none too much;

If you can fill the unforgiving minute

    With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,   

Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,   

    And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!
