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.
We are not so trusting these days. We question the motives our government officials, those in charge of our religious institutions and many other people around us. Why would we trust that there is purpose in the spread of the coronavirus with no details or evidence? We are not all naïve children. In our modern world we have seen the greed, the lies and the lack of care of many large and small organisations. The TV series “Dirty Money” and the movie, “The Big Short” shows us how greedy, dishonest and foolish some humans can be.
And yet there are many who still believe that things happen for a reason, including the Covid-19. These are the people who have their feet planted firmly on the ground, while their heart is connected to something greater than us all. They trust that all will be well. Many of these may not identify as spiritual, but they have an inner knowing that there is nothing to fear.
Others, however, want to know why we are suddenly struggling with a virus that has the potential to wipe out millions of people.
Practitioners, like myself, who are members of the Michael Newton Institute, have known for the last couple of years that some great change was coming. We didn’t know what it was, but client after client was told by their spiritual guides that the way we live was going to change, and relatively quickly.
That might sound crazy to some of you. I thought it was a bit crazy too. Even though I know there is a bigger plan, I couldn’t work out how massive change could come as quickly as the guides were predicting.
Now, as I watch TV, I feel as though I am watching one of those disaster movies where the newsreader is reporting massive ice sheets or tremendous earthquakes swallowing up the landscape, or aliens in their spaceships landing. I need to pinch myself to switch back onto the facts in front of my eyes: all around the world at the same time, countries are completely shutting down.
The coronavirus is the catalyst for change. Greed and dishonesty have been running our world and we need to return to love and compassion. People have forgotten who they really are. They don’t need to fight for survival. Although our bodies die, we do not. Even though our bodies change and grow old, our true self does not. We experience, we learn and we grow in wisdom. In the past this was through the pain we suffered. But things are different now. We don’t have to learn the hard way—unless we want to.
What do we do to help birth this change? I had a client today who was given the answer to this question.
She was taken back to the moment when her daughter was born. The baby was distressed and there was noise and panic in the room from those assisting. This is what she said:
I saw the source of light that we see when we are dying. There was this craziness happening on the day, the stress and rush. But I saw a fork in the background, and I took the right path. I stayed with the light. I didn’t panic, in spite of my pain and the panic all around me. I had this sense that all is good. I got the message, ‘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 continued 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 are following the old patterns of the past, being fearful and hiding, trying to survive. But there is no need. It is different this time.
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. This is not the same as before a long time ago. Much love and light is in the world now.
Countless clients, during spiritual regressions, have been told that many light and loving souls have incarnated here to help birth this new Earth. You might be one of them.
The message from the guides continues:
Be compassionate for each other, stay with the light. Don’t be selfish. The light is overcoming the dark. Connect to the light, and the dark will be overcome. Each of you has healing power, each of you has light within, and connecting to love and light will bring more enlightening. Slow down and be patient with yourself and others. Trust that all is in control and be responsible and caring. The more you connect to the light (love and compassion) rather than the dark (fear and guilt), the faster it will be overcome. Do right by yourself and by others.
Although the coronavirus right now may seem dangerous and inconvenient, it is giving us an opportunity to remember what really matters, our loved ones, each other, enjoying life and having fun.
Coronavirus: A Spiritual Perspective
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.
