It goes without saying that there is so much going on within the world today. The most intense things are being broadcast the loudest so we feel as if we are in a downward spiral at times. As the world winds down its personal year of a 6 vibration it will continue seeking ways to find balance with all that is out of balance. Think of the justice scales. What energy is given to things like hate, anger, war, persecution etc. must and will find its balance in love, joy, comfort, prosperity, and peace. But, we must remember that all of these words describe a state of mind. True peace IS a state of mind. As the quote by Buddah says, "Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without." We live in a thought created universe and our thoughts about what we are experiencing (and more importantly creating) reflect our truest selves.
All the things we "do" to each other and experience through each other are part of a pattern that is designed to help us evolve and expand our soul, and the divine scale of expansion is ever ascending. There is no end to this, and the truest way to see how we are evolving is too look at the reality around us and our reactions to this reality. Are we fearful? Are we tired and desiring to quit life? Are we caught up into drama and forgetting that this is all an illusion? Are we stepping back and really looking our situations and seeing the opportunities for growth in each one? This is all very easy to say when are reality feels safe and secure, but those of us immersed into an experience of pain and suffering will have this put to the test, but it is within these situations that exponential growth is possible. To quote Ernest Holmes "The world is saturated with divinity, immersed in reality, and filled with possibility. We must take this divine possibility and mold it into a present actuality in everyday experience. This is the way to freedom, the pathway to peace and happiness."
The world over may be facing war, pollution, corruption, disease etc, but throughout history this has always happened, and it is cyclical. We must also remember, that each of us perceives each of these things differently. While one reviles at war, another embraces it. We will continue to repeat the patterns until each one of us expands past our limited minds and into our divine nature, surrendering to the process all the while creating new desires that will manifest as new experiences.
As we move through September and into our next cycle of experience, remember whether we perceive an experience as "good" or "bad" is an individual choice. Each choice is perfect for where that individual is on their evolutionary journey. We cannot force our will onto others, but must focus inward on our own journey. This is where true peace lives.
I want to leave you with a passage from II Corinthians 4:
"We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed;
We are perplexed, but not in despair;
Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;
For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man
perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.
For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh
for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;
While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things
which are not seen;
For the things which are seen are temporal; but the things
which are not seen are eternal." - See more at: http://www.amylanderman.com/2/post/2013/09/knowing-peace-while-creating-balance.html#sthash.r3zC62Bz.dpuf
