Run, don’t walk away from anything or anyone that causes you to feel unsafe today, Dear One.

We don’t want you practicing/learning how to better tolerate the discomfort of mistrust.

We want you learning how to heed to it.

It’s important.

When you are in a place where you can recognize that your ability to see, and think, and perceive clearly has been impaired, Dear One, stop.

Just sit down, right where you are, and be still.

Trying to fix it, pushing more clouded, chaotic energy out into the world when you are in this place, is only going to contribute to the spinning, to the racing, to the whirlwind that is blowing all around you, impairing your vision.

Stop and be still; let the winds die down a bit, let the dust settle. And wait for your vision to clear, before you take one. more. step.

Somedays the most valuable thing that you can do for yourself, and those around you, is to stop, and be perfectly still.

Sometimes, the biggest, most important, and challenging task on your to-do list, is to do nothing.

So, you don’t know the answer. Now what?

Relish in the fact that you don’t know the answer, Dear One.
Because it is actually a really good thing.

It means that you are not acting from a place of habit, that you are awake and that your decision will not being controlled by an automatic habitual behavior or pattern.

And this is a very good thing, A great thing actually.

Not having the answer is good.
Not know what to do next is good.

Next time this happens to you Dear One, try not to sweat it, and try not to “think” about what the answer should be. Try not to turn back to your logical brain to see what habit dictates the answer should be.

Allow yourself to “feel” for the answer instead.
Allow your feelings, your heart, your intuition to guide you instead.

And TRUST that there is a very good reason that your logical, habitual brain did not automatically reply, and is asking you to look elsewhere for the answer,  is giving you the opportunity to give your heart a chance to speak up and be heard.

Only an open heart can heal, Dear One.

Chill, Dear One, and trust that the way will rise-up to meet you.

What does that mean exactly?

It means that trusting, allowing, listening to your instincts, listening for guidance, will lead you, will lift you up to where you need to be, to reach, to allow, all that is best for you, all that is for your greatest good.

Stressing, struggling, planning, thinking, relying on your limited knowledge to get your there, relying solely on the limitations of logic of get you there, can cause you to fall short.

Action without trust is like trying to jump a 20ft pole vault with a 3ft pole.

Trust, Dear One, will carry you aaaaall the way over.

You are wanting. You are creating. You are feeling a strong desire for change, Dear One; how you look, how you feel, how you live, what you have, who you love, who loves you.

And you are uncomfortable with it. You are unsure of how exactly you want to change, and what exactly you want to change into, and how you are going to make all of this change happen. And you want to make the discomfort stop.

But to relieve the stress, the unease that accompanies not knowing, the frustration that comes with not having, the self-loathing that comes with feeling unworthy or undeserving, the answer is not to stop wanting, to stop trying, to stop moving forward in an effort to avoid confronting the distress.

The answer is in fact, to do the exact opposite of that.  The answer is to embrace the change, and embrace the lack of clarity, discomfort, uncertainty, and insecurity that comes with it.

Because stopping, turning back, giving up, or running away is never going to get you to where you want to go.  But moving forward might.

And the truth is that both directions, forwards and back, hold the potential for discomfort, equally.  It is unavoidable, nearly impossible to escape the feeling all together.

So the question that you really want to be asking, when it comes to dealing with the discomfort of change, Dear One, is not, How can you make it stop, but….  Do you want to confront, deal with, and work through the discomfort while you are moving forwards, or while you are moving backwards?

^

Be patient and be kind, Dear One.  Be patient and be kind. With them, and with you.

And if you are unsure of how exactly to do that, of what exactly it looks like to do that from where you are right now, we’ll tell you.

Following these simple steps:

• Be patient
• Be kind
• Be patient
• Be kind
• Be patient
• Be kind

That will be enough, Dear One. That will get you through.

Propaganda, Dear One, has a very specific purpose, serves a very specific function. And it is not to deliver a message.

Its function is to sway or move large (or very small) groups of people; to shift their energy/opinions/beliefs and ultimately, their actions, in a very specific direction, by any means necessary.

Propaganda is about the movement, not the message.

The message is nothing more than a means to an end. Don’t focus on the words if you want to discover their true motivation for using them.  The words are meaningless. They are nothing more than a tool.

Look instead, Dear one, at where they are leading you, at where they are trying to get you to go by engaging you in the conversation. And once you see, once you know, you will be in a much better position to decide if you really want to go there, or, if you would rather make a different choice.

Do this, Dear One, consciously become aware of the motives behind their words, and you will essentially be putting stakes in the ground, putting safeguards in place, that will make it virtually impossible for them to carry you away on their platform, without your full awareness and consent.

Choose, if you can Dear One, if you are willing, if you are ready, what you want this day to mean to you;

• How do you want to spend it?
• Who do you want to spend it with?
• What do you want to get from it?
• What do you want to contribute to it?

And do it knowing this; that is VERY unlikely that it will all work out the way you want; that you will get everything that you want, and that everything will go according to plan.

But that is not the point, not today anyway.

The point, Dear one, of what we are asking you to do today, is not to help you to get everything that you want.

The point is to allow yourself to become more practiced at choosing what it is that you really want. To learn how to recognize what it is that you really want and then choose it, as opposed to simply choosing from what is already in front of you, from that which you know is attainable, from those things that your previous decisions have already delivered to you.

And there is a BIG difference between the two.

Getting (accepting) what you want, and being able to choose what you want are two very different things, and require two entirely different skill sets.  And we would like to help you to become adept at both.

Attitudes, Dear One, are what put any event, situation, or circumstance into context.

It is not the event, the circumstance, or the situation itself so much that is the primary determiner of your reaction to it, as much as it is the attitude that you hold towards it, the disposition that you are wearing when the situation arises.

We are telling you this, Dear One, not so that you will blame yourself for bad feelings that may arise when “something” terrible, troubling, or undesirable happens.  But simply to make you aware, and not so quick to blame the “event” itself entirely for how you are feeling, or put a great deal of effort into trying to change the “event”, the or external circumstances that created it, in order to help yourself feel differently or better about it.

Examining the attitudes that you have about it, and the lens through which you are viewing it, is where the real power for change lays, and will have a much greater impact on helping you to navigate your way through your feelings about it, or the feelings that come up for you as a result of it.
