Why Does the World Seem to Be Getting Worse?

We are in a phase of enlightenment. What "enlightenment" means is that light is brought to the darkness.

As many of my clients can attest, when we start a spiritual journey our lives seem to fall apart before they get better. Our lives seem to fall apart because all of our pain is rising to the surface so we can heal it. But it has been buried way down deep for a long time and with it buried down that far, we couldn't feel how painful it all was. But when one starts to heal emotionally, all of that energy has to come up. All of that energy that we have repressed, avoided, denied for all of our lives comes to the surface.

What is happening in the world right now is that all of our darkness is coming to the surface so that we can heal it. Things that have been hidden will continue to come to light. This has already been happening for the past several years. Remember Enron and now we have Bernie Madoff. More will come to the surface...much more.

Many things that our government and business leaders will continue to come into the light. When these things happen, it is easy to look outwards and blame others for their betrayal of our trust.

But if we only blame others, we are failing to take responsibility for what is happening in our world. There will be many who do not understand this concept, who are simply not capable of hearing it right now...and this is okay.

This is just where some of us are at on our journey. Many still believe they are separate from others and God. They have not yet awakened to the truth of who and what they are.

But there will be a mass shift coming soon. My sources tell me that we should see a significant increase for people seeking their spiritual awakening later this year.

Most of us go into this change kicking and screaming. Change is scary. But at some point, we decide that whatever is on the other side of our awakening HAS to be better than the way we are living now. When a person gets to that point, they are ready to do the work necessary to let go of who and what they thought they were. They are ready to awaken to their Spiritual Self and they are ready to fulfill their dharmic purpose for living.

We each have a part to play in the healing of our world and it will take a significant percentage of us to awaken to accomplish it. We have to reach critical mass. I believe we will make it and that we are on schedule to get there. That doesn't mean that there isn't a sense of urgency and many of us are starting to feel it.

We confuse the feeling though with what is happening outside of us in our world. We confuse the anxiety we feel within us with what we see as a disintegration of all that we know.

Many have said that the world will end in December 2012, but it will not. The world as we know it will end.

For those people who accept their call to awaken and move through the shift, the ride will get a little bumpy, but in understanding what part we play in creation we will be able to adapt to it.

For those who do not, who cannot let go of who they think they are and what they think the world is about, well, I believe Revelations called it "weeping and gnashing of teeth." In other words, the ride is going to be one heck of a roller coaster.  As one teacher told me, you can learn to throw up your hands and make it as much fun as you can or you can just hold on tight. Either way, it's coming.

I'm a healer, so I normally don't write much on warnings and caution.

But this is what I'm being guided to write about now. We are at a critical point in our history and the more we understand it, the wiser our choices can be.

Namaste
