A Spiritual Master Among Us

Whether our spiritual path involves an organized religion, is a nondenominational one, or if we have no spiritual thought system at all, most of us know we should live our lives with the intention to do good, and not to do harm to the world or each other. Yes, we know this, but often that is not what we see in the world because we are either part of the hate, divisiveness, and violence, or because that is what we expect to see. In the past, here on Drusilla’s Dream, we have talked about the importance of seeking the good in one another. When we do, we will see the divinity and infinite light in each other as well. Doing so will guide us on a path directed by God, our teams of light, and our souls. It will also help us to create a life and a world filled with kind, caring, honest and trustworthy people because that is what we expect to see, and we will tolerate nothing less.

However, we can’t bury our heads in the sand and pretend that the world is not filled with atrocities so outrageous that even some of the most evil among us could not have imagined them. Many humans have gone down a very dark path and we, as lightworkers are up against a difficult adversary. That adversary is fear. Fear can cause us to behave in ways that are in direct opposition to the loving guidance of our souls. Some people turn to hate, mistrust, judgement, lust for power, violence, and may even lack a functioning conscience that prevents them from seeing the evil in their behavior. When we as lightworkers, praying for a new and loving world, witness the horror that shatters our hearts and causes disillusionment and despair, we can lose hope. Without hope, we become shackled by the very thing we want to disappear, fear and all the destruction it causes! We forget the powers we all have to change the world which is transcendent love, and all of the healing it can manifest.

Humans learn best through contrast, as we know. If we want to learn compassion, we may experience people in our lives judging us, criticizing us, and offering us little or no compassion. If we want to learn forgiveness, we may experience not being forgiven for our mistakes. If we want to learn patience, we will most likely draw into our lives people and circumstances that will require an abundant amount of it. We also know that the more difficult and painful our challenges are, the more opportunities they bring in order to help us self-correct, change course, and do better. Our Divine Creator loves us so much that He allows us to continue maintaining our free will, even when He is witnessing how close we are to self-destruction.

I do not believe God is vengeful. I do not believe He sends us natural disasters, illnesses, and global pandemics to punish us for our transgressions or to teach us a lesson. I do believe that our Creator’s spiritual law of cause and effect is always in motion. If we are not kind and compassionate to each other and the planet, we will reap the effects. The more heinous our actions or lack thereof, the more we will all suffer, and believe it or not, the more opportunities will appear within our pain in order for us to grow and evolve as an individual soul and a collective one.

So, let’s take a look at one of the darkest moments in our history, Covid 19 and the global pandemic that has given rise to a level of fear that has threatened our sense of safety, faith, hope, and belief in each other. It has divided families, incited more political divisiveness and violence, and made us all mistrusting of the intentions of loved ones, strangers, institutions, entire countries, and other cultures. We want to find someone to blame for our suffering which causes us to behave in ways that are against everything we know to be true about our eternal nature, our infinite and loving souls. We curse the invisible threat to our lives and pray it will leave us alone and allow us to heal.

We are at the end of our rope, dangling mercilessly, but holding on so we don’t fall completely into a frightening dark void. We have tried everything, but the fear has kept us imprisoned in a jail of our own making. Yet, if humans learn best through contrast, what can we learn from this invisible foe, and how can we utilize the intensity of the pain it’s caused us for the evolution of our souls both individually and collectively?

Perhaps, we can shift our perception. Instead of seeing the virus as an enemy, we can perceive it as being a great master teacher who can help us, as a human race, to self-correct. We can remember that we are one being connected by an energy that is omnipotent, merciful, forgiving, kind, and we can start anew. We can seek to care for each other, cease looking for someone to blame, but instead do all we can to keep each other safe. We can choose love and the qualities born of love, like compassion, acceptance, forgiveness, tolerance, nonjudgement, unity, equality, and peace. We can choose love over its opposite fear, and all its dark attributes like judgement, intolerance, condemnation, anger, jealousy, self-righteousness, divisiveness, discrimination, superiority, and war.

I’m sure some of you are thinking all of this sounds like wishful thinking and the faith of fools. I disagree! I have seen anger diminish in the eyes of compassion, hatred dissolve, through an act of kindness, and hopelessness transform into renewed hope through a miracle of generosity. Just think of the song, Over the Rainbow, lyrics written, and the music composed by two Jewish men, Yip Harburg, and Harold Alen during one of the darkest periods in world history, around the time of the Holocaust. “Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high, there’s a land that I heard of once in a lullaby. Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue; and the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true.”

Our dreams of a better, safer, and healthier world can come true. It takes each of us making a commitment to stay mindful and recognize when we are faltering and in danger of falling from the seat of our souls. It takes all of us to ask for assistance from God and our teams of light. We can ask, “What can I do to make a difference. In my small corner of the world, how can I help the voice of love to be heard.” We are not powerless against the seemingly powerful and most formidable of adversaries, world leaders, and obstructors of peace. Why? It is because within each of them, we exist, and our voices can be heard. Within each of them our Creator’s truth exists, and they can recognize it. Within each of them rests their soulful potential to see the path they have taken, the harm it is doing, and then to self-correct and remember the love that is who they are and have always been.

Let us stop being so afraid of Covid, and resist falling headfirst into all the fear it tends to evoke. Perhaps, let us see it as a master teacher that has come, not from our Creator, but as a result of our inability to take responsibility for a world nearing the brink of self-destruction. Let us trust that within our exhaustion and frustration over having our lives upended by a pandemic, and our unimaginable grief over the loss of so many innocent lives, there is spark of light, a vision of renewed hope, and a hidden treasure for our souls. Let us pick up our sword of faith and look for the gifts hidden beneath all the pain it has caused us. Let us allow it to be a catalyst that catapults us all onto an intensive mission committed to emboldening our efforts to change the world through the sheer power of the love that unites us all.

According to the current scientific data, the new Covid variant seems to be much less deadly and does not usually cause severe illness. Perhaps, we, the lightworkers of the world, are creating an ethereal and powerful vaccine composed entirely of God’s love. We are injecting it into the hearts and minds of all human souls and the virus cannot sustain itself in the presence of the infinite light. It takes great faith to move mountains and great courage to change the world. We have both, and together we will persevere and find that world, “Somewhere over the rainbow.” Together we will move the world from fear to Love and so it is.

I am using He when referencing God for simplicity, though I do not believe God is either male or female.
