Did you know that viruses are actually quite dumb? Viruses are information-packets (programs) that self-replicate based on opportunity, they are not life forms nor do they have inherent intelligence of their own. From the above we can already ask one essential question. How do viruses become so prevalent and scary to us in situations like today?
The answer lies in the word opportunity. Viruses “take over” when we keep door open, i.e. the power we give away. What do we give our power to you may ask? To fear that humanity has self-created as part of our inner world of control.
On a higher level though, viruses are actually meant to take over, they clean up and upgrade us (through detoxification of toxins and old consciousness). However, when fear takes over and goes out of control, it can create spiritual disempowerment and a lowering of immunity that this virus feeds on at a physical plane.
It all depends on your individual level of consciousness and awakening and your life path.
This is where the old adage of ‘what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger’ aptly applies. But the reverse is equally applicable, what doesn’t make you stronger, kills you. This may be slow death (letting go of identity structures) or a literal death, if that is part of your plan.
Fear and death
If you stay centered and pay attention, can you pierce through the collective instability and notice that the whole scare actually has little to do with the virus itself, and everything to do with the fear surrounding it and the stories that get told because of it?
For example, fear of death is one of the primary drivers underlying this scare. But even on a statistical level, an annual flu kills many many more than Corona’s impact. And the deaths that will ensue actually have little to do with the virus itself, at least not in the way people think.
Death is part of the natural cycle of life and as tragic as it may seem that these deaths are seemingly attributable to the virus, the spirit of these people have chosen to take this opportunity to exit for reasons that our minds cannot even comprehend, because it is their higher path.
These people would otherwise choose to exit by other means within a similar time frame, which is like the movie Final Destination for those of you who know it, where death catches up to you even if you avoid the circumstances by which it takes place from having prior knowledge. This is a drastic example, nevertheless, you simply cannot escape death.
This does not mean we should not protect vulnerable people, but it does mean we should ask ourselves critical questions like: where is the balance between self-responsibility and global economic disaster?
Right now, this balance is totally skewed. It reveals not only the humanity on the end of people buying into fear, but also how poor leadership is from people in power.
Gifts of the virus
So what is this virus gifting us? The most important is going within and feeling ourselves, which most of humanity still runs away from.
I want to share a short story. Last month there was a carnival local to this area, but it got cancelled due to the unfortunate weather that week.
Feeling into the energy of carnival, it is a time of the year where many people celebrate, but also many who go crazy and discharge their pent up emotions metaphorically through costumes and masks to do things that otherwise would be considered inappropriate or frowned upon.
You may think, well why not, it’s fun? And when it got cancelled I feel for the kids. At the same time, I felt life’s demand from our collective spirit that we go within. When the prospect of carnival brought up anticipation to distract and that opportunity was taken away at the last minute, life helped humanity further by having people feel what is there.
This same process is happening with corona. When I see pictures of queues at coffee shops with people that are finally stocked up on toilet paper for the short-term are now desperate to find drugs to distract themselves from themselves in the longer term, I cringe.
Governmental spokespersons that promulgate fear scenario’s and staying home are well meaning, but are ignorant and unconscious, yet ultimately beneficial! They are unable to serve humanity in the smaller picture, yet are definitely in service to the bigger picture of global awakening by helping people get in touch with themselves by staying home, even though they are actually telling people with their words and energetic embodiment “to be afraid”.
Inspired insights
Notice how the duality of the message of fear from world leaders is that their own fear from which they act is revealed along with the people who resonate with it. This ultimately will lead to progress when the fear vibration collapses and it won’t be able to sustain itself.
Second, I cannot over-state how paradoxically perfect and disastrous the decisions are that leaders and officials are making. Decisions affecting the world economy and individual financial security far outweigh the impact of the virus itself, and is a testament to what happens when you act from fear.
The take-away therefore is that fear is never the right vibration from which to take action, because it’s a disempowered state that perpetuates disempowerment. But the energy behind fear can be used to drive us forward, closer together, and reveal new possibilities that were previously not available, and will show up in this new space.
The third is, trust your intuition and practice holding your space, especially if you are sensitive. Don’t let any aspect of the collective fear drive you into a negative space. Spirit is extremely supportive right now to humanity’s awakening and providing what is needed in the moment, which is mirrored by the March sun that has begun shining brightly here in the Netherlands. If you are reading this, there is a good chance the sun will be shining on you as well, in ways that you may only just begin to notice.
