Is it possible that we as a collective are experiencing a Dark Night of the Soul?

Reiki

Reiki promotes healing the body, mind,
and spirit on an energetic level and is the
Essence of love.

In this time of expansion, open up to possibilities of the Universe
As the old falls away, we create the world we want to live in.

I recently had a reading and I thought I would share a piece of it.

A cleansing is happening in the world.
Old ways had to die.
Astonishment will help us to awake
In the world we are seeing clumps of joy.
Watch that which has joy and goodness.
Focus on the joy, do not focus on the despair.
There will be grief and sadness.  Do not focus on the despair and do not hang on to the sadness.
See the courage and triumphs.
There is more than one way to pray.  Prayer with gratitude is the best way.
Sometimes we focus on the why, that will not help.
Focus on all the beautiful things.
Seek beauty, find joy.

On 12/12/19 in the wee hours of the morning I received the following and was prompted to share it.

It is the quest for truth and understanding that matters.


Everyday, every moment we decide what we must do
to co create that which we want.
Move forward creators creating a new world.


We need to be open to looking at what our priorities are.
We need to be open to those priorities changing.
It is a time to rethink what we once thought of as normal or truth, challenge our thinking and be open to new
possibilities.
It is a time of expansion.


We are all living on the edge of the unknown.


Is it not time to expand our consciousness as a 
collective?
Is it not time to challenge what we have been spoon
fed all our lives as truth?
Is there another truth that we have been blocked
from seeing and understanding?

In these times, we must find our own inner peace.

Just as we generate karma as individuals,
we also generate karma as a collective.

In all of us there are two wolves.
One is bad and one is good
when asked which do we keep?
He replied, the one you feed.

From Native American movie

An unexamined life is a wasted life

The Four Agreements by
Don Miguel Ruiz

Be Impeccable With Your Word
Words have the Power to create or destroy.

Don't Take Anything Personally
People speak from their own reality, not yours.

Don't Make Assumptions
When we make assumptions, we act as if it is
Truth.

Always Do Your Best
If we do this, we are keeping all the agreements.

Native American Quote, Source unknown.

If we look at the path, we do not see the sky.  We are earth people on a spiritual journey to the stars.
Our quest, our earth walk, is to look within, to know who we are, to see that we are connected to all things, that there is no separation, only in the mind.

Every day we make decisions and choices about who we are and what kind
of person we want to be.  So what kind of person are you choosing to be
today?
Will you be part of the solution, or will you be part of the problem?

BE THE CHANGE YOU WANT TO SEE IN THE WORLD.

There are three ways to correct our faults:

We can change through behavior

We can change through understanding

We can change from the heart
