Your Own Heart’s Whispering

Cheryl: Guides, the intensity of cosmic energies and more earthly human events continue to escalate. When something ‘unprecedented’ (in recent generations) becomes common, language fails to capture the magnitude of an experience.
Fires, floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, solar / geomagnetic activity, earth’s journey through the photon belt, socio-political rancor and interference; all seem amplified, simply off the charts now.
Human reaction ranges from apparent numbness and unresponsiveness to single-sided entrenchment and Us versus Them absolutes. How are we to understand and navigate these extremes? How can we keep our humanity intact?
Akashic Guides: You have choices here, Dear Ones. You may look away and ‘not-see’, continuing to go about life without acknowledging the changes or without letting the suffering of your fellow beings – land, animals, plants, and humans – register so that it matters to you. You can be detached as if watching it on a screen far removed from your reality.
Or, you can let it pierce your shield, letting it matter deeply what happens to another, and release your full humanity in compassion.
That is, you may dare to feel, to be moved, and to take action guided by your heart.
Neither path is easy. On both there is great discomfort. But on the latter path there is the power of conscious connection and the possibility of lifting yourself and all of humanity to a higher level.
Cheryl: At times it feels so unbearable to look and see. For instance, the suffering and loss occurring in the Southeast region of the US due to recent hurricanes and tornadoes is breathtaking. Being the region of my birth, knowing the land and the people as I do … it pains me to see the massive destruction. Many have lost everything.
Again, the extremes. Some people appear unmoved by or oblivious to the events. Some are gleeful that it occurred ‘in redneck country’. Deepening division (blue vs red, left vs right, democrat vs republican, liberal vs conservative, etc.) by using tragic circumstances sickens me! Thankfully – simultaneously – the best of humankind rises to the top and responds with courage, goodwill, empathy, skill, and care, lending whatever aid possible to those impacted. Such a dichotomy!
Akashic Guides: It is a complicated and multi-layered dynamic, Dear One. Yet, the wide range of responses makes what is occurring clear and obvious. What you call your nation has been fractured for a very long time. Not just regionally or culturally, between groups of people, but internally within each individual.
In spite of its name, yours is a nation divided.
The less you know yourselves as individuals from the inside out, the less you are able to greet one another with openness, compassion and trust as fellow human beings. When one human being actively wishes ill for another human being, it is a clear indication that they have lost touch with their true humanity and the truth that all are connected.
Whether ‘positive’ or ‘negative’ as you would judge it, what happens to one, ripples out and touches all. This is the sense of inner-connectedness that has been compromised … for the time being.
The move to take advantage of a crisis to further a cause or position – be it personal, political, philosophical, or economic – is, as you would say, ‘as old as the ages’. When humans identify with their opinions, they are loathe to admit this is the case when it is ‘their side’ placing opinion and rhetoric above responding to human needs with compassion.
And, can you see that both ‘sides’ do just this in equal measure?
Much has gone into the creating of this division and lack of knowledge, understanding, and connection. Not just in this location, but everywhere across your planet. We could easily fill a library with such information. But, while this might satisfy some curiosity or take you further into confusion and cause you to argue, it is not what is most important here. What is most important here is to offer a way out of the division and conflict.
Cheryl: Yes, please speak to that and offer some practical guidance. It seems so entrenched.
Akashic Guides: Some understanding or discernment about what is going on is helpful, yet as long as you focus only upon how this division is held in place, it will be held in place! This is the mind wrongly used, which tricks you into reinforcing what you do not want to perpetuate. You must step out of the push and pull of arguing a mentally constructed position in order to find another way, the way of the heart.
If you wish to be in full possession of your energies and able to freely express your humanity, drop into your heart and follow its lead.
This is the seat of your true humanity. It is here that your wisdom resides and clarity springs as to the right action to take. It is your heart that enables you to shine and rise above confusion.
We would urge you to not worry yourself about what others think or do or why they think or do. Take heed to your own heart’s counsel. Sit in silence and listen to your own heart’s whispering. What is it that you most value? What is it that you most want to see made manifest in this world of yours?
If love is your value, let your thoughts, words, and deeds resonate and be in alignment with love.
If peace is your value, let your thoughts, words, and deeds resonate and be in alignment with peace. If respect for your fellow human beings is your value, let your thoughts, words, and deeds resonate and be in alignment with respect for your fellow human beings.
Stay true to your highest values and do not compromise them out of fear of what others may do or what may or may not happen. It is with such fear-driven compromises that you individually and collectively lose your bearings and forget your true identity.
Live from your heart’s highest values and let those who are unable to do so at this time, go their own way. This is your work to do; to reclaim your true identity and live from your authentic values. Release what is inconsistent within you.
Many spiritual paths have taught a self-evident truth: that a tree is known by the fruit it bears.
If you attend to your own garden, ‘right action’ will flow from your heart. As you become more fully who you truly are, all else will follow. The fruit that is yours to offer the world will spring forth naturally and all will be blessed as it multiples according to its nature.
We hold and affirm you as the Light that you are.
