A spiritual perspective on pandemics can help you get through them. Many people believe that things happen for a reason. Some are religious or spiritually oriented. My grandmother, devoted throughout her life to her Christian God, often used the well-worn phrase, “God moves in mysterious ways.” Without knowing any details, she trusted that those (God) running this universe knew what they were doing.
These days, many people are doubtful. Many people question the motives our government officials, company CEOs, those in charge of our religious institutions and many others around us. Consequently, few people see any purpose in pandemics, such as the coronavirus?
We are not all naïve children. In our modern world, we see greed,the lies and the lack of care of many large and small organisations. We learn about the greedy, dishonest and how foolish some humans can be. By watching TV series like Dirty Money and the movie, The Big Short, (based on the 2008 financial crisis), you understand how that plays out.
Do you believe that everything has a purpose?
Some people do. As well, some trust that even pandemics have a purpose. Usually, these people hold a spiritual perspective. Ultimately, they trust that all will be well.
In contrast, others fear pandemics. Unfortunately, they are confused. They ask, how can a virus suddenly wipe out millions of people? I am a member of the Michael Newton Institute. We knew a change was coming. Many spiritual guides warned us that the way we live was going to change, and relatively quickly. That might sound crazy to some people. At the time, I thought it was a bit crazy too.
As I watched TV in 2020, I felt disturbed. At the time, I dreamt of disasters movies, where massive ice sheets crash down, tremendous earthquakes swallow up the landscape, or aliens land on earth in their spaceships. However, I still believed that coronavirus was a catalyst for change.
For a long time now, greed and dishonesty are running our world and we need to return to love and compassion. People have forgotten who they really are. No one really needs to fight for survival. Although our bodies die, we do not. Even though our bodies change and grow old, our true self does not. With a physical body or not, we experience, we learn and we grow in wisdom.
The world is changing
In the past this was through the pain we suffered. But things are changing. We don’t have to learn the hard way—unless we want to. What do we do to help birth this change?
Recently, I had a client who was given the answer to this question. She was taken back to the moment her daughter was born. Unfortunately, the baby was distressed, and they nurses and assistants were struggling and panicked. At the time the mother had an unusual experience:
When we die, we see a light. Now I see it. There was this craziness happening on the day, the stress and rush. Now, I see a fork in the road, and take the right path. I stay with the light. In spite of my pain and the panic all around me, I am calm. I sense that all is good. Then, a message comes to me. It is ‘trust yourself.” You know what you are doing.’ I see angels dancing, happy and smiling. Happiness, joy and fun is coming. There is no need to fear. Good is on its way.
Referring to the challenges we now face, the guides continue their message:
There is light in the world now. The light spreads. It is not just dark anymore. It is different to the past. There is not just black and white now, there is colour. Many follow the old patterns of the past of being fearful and hide to survive. Feeling fear is not necessary. Now, things are different. Guilt is an illusion, an old pattern from the past. Forget about it. It is silly and not necessary. There is no need to fear, hide or panic. A long time ago, it was different. Now, much love and light is in the world.
A spiritual perspective on pandemics
During spiritual regressions, clients discover important information. Many light and loving souls incarnate to help birth this new Earth. You might be one of them. The message from the guides to us all continues:
First, be compassionate for each other, and stay with the light. Second, don’t be selfish. Third, realise the light is overcoming the dark. Fourth, connect to the light, and the dark will be overcome. Now, many of you need to see the truth of yourself. For example:
- You are powerful.
- You are a healer.
- You hold light within you.
- You can connect to love and light.
- You bring light to others.
- Slow down and be patient with yourself and others.
- Trust that all is in control and be responsible and caring.
- Now, connect to the light of love and compassion, rather than the dark of fear and guilt.
- The more you do this the faster the dark will be overcome.
- Do right by yourself and by others.
Although pandemics are dangerous and inconvenient, they are also a gift. Importantly, they help us remember what really matters, and that is our loved ones, each other, as well as us all enjoying life and having fun.






Beautiful !! Thank you ?
Beautiful message that resonates. I felt that this is part of the Universe shaking us up to attention to care and notice that we are all a part of each other on a journey together. Mankind has become insular and self- absorbed. I did an experiment years ago – early on a working day downtown I set out to say hello or good morning to every person walking toward me. The footpath was full of suited young people with a coffee in one hand and a mobile in the other staring ahead. They truly looked like dead people walking on an assembly line. No one smiled or even acknowledged me and kept staring blankly in front of them. I wondered if they ever felt joy or happiness of simple pleasures of a sunrise or the song of a bird. I persisted, but I felt I was in a sea of bodies without a Soul ( like a movie). So even while they all walked together on the way to work they did not communicate or acknowledge anything else in the world. I see this in ques now in the midst of the virus, the greed and total obsession of taking the most they can carry with little regard to any one else. I find it interesting to observe humanity at a time of crisis like now and realize that the Universe, God or whatever you like to call that Power has had enough and teaching us to care, to bring us back to the real truth of our existence here on earth, to show care and compassion, to help, to show love and to at the very least just acknowledge one another. We can enrich each other if we only stop to talk to one another.
We all have much to learn from this experience and I can see that many are beginning to see and appreciate what they have.
Well put I think a new order will rise from this and people will realise that
Greed and selfishness is not the answer
People seem to turn to religion when times are tuff and the ones already there accept and guide them
We must all do our bit to help and guide each other we are about to Reset and maybe a fresh start is coming
Yes Charles. I agree that this is the beginning of important changes in humanity.
Karen, thank you for this beautiful message. I too, feel that there is so much light around me and in our world right now.
Thank you for sharing some of your clients’ experiences. I aim to anchor this bigger picture energy each day.
We are all SO LUCKY to be here at this time. Thank you for all the work that you do to support our beautiful planet.
And thank you Natalie for holding the positive energies for all.
Very true I have been slowly walked Ng to the spiritual life for many years but am now very drawn towards the light thank you for this article really enlighten me reading it
Hi Karen,
This is exactly how I felt when things started to surface. Humanity had lost their way with greed and no compassion. Now the inner self of love of many will be awaken .
Much love
Jennene
Ps lol teenas mum ?
I remembered you Jennene. Thanks for your comment.
Resonate with this perspective. Every moment, we each have the choice to choose Fear or Love. Heaven is not a place to visit. Rather, it is a vibration, a state of being we each have the power to access right here. Choosing Love is living consciously, seeing everything as a mirror and teacher and knowing everything is a call for Love or invite to embody Love.
Thank you Karen. I need to remember that
In this period during which our country is under lockdown, I realise how little one needs to survive, be relaxed and happy. The forced slowdown is a great gift to each of us.
How true, Shailaja. It is great to expand though this experience as you and many are doing. Thanks for you comment.
We are all children of the light. Accept this not only for your self and family but all those near and far. We are so blessed. I am grateful for whatever I experience in this lifetime which helps me understand my true self. Accepting any negative experience as part of this life and overcoming it, we wont need to experience it in future lifetimes. Thank you Karen for your teachings and loving support.
Thank you Jeanette for your thoughtful comment and wisdom. May you receive many blessings on your soul journey.
