It's Always Darkest Before the Dawn

Yesterday was a very strange day. The energies were very dark. People were touchy and cranky for no apparent reason, and I wasn't the only one who noticed. I believe most of us felt it (even if most of us are grown up enough to keep it in check). I even had one particularly aggressive customer attack me verbally for no reason except she either wanted to get something for nothing or I approached her at a time she was getting ready to steal and I foiled her.

As I look back on this particular "customer", I can feel my emotions and body telling me there is more information here that I need to pay attention to. I have worked at this particular store for well over four years now, and I can count on one hand the number of times I have had to deal with that level of crazy. (Being empathic really does smooth things over 99% of the time.)

There were quite a few red flags. She talked a lot more than necessary (like she was hiding something or trying to distract). When I didn't follow her lead, she became really belligerent and asked immediately to speak to a manager (at that point it was my pleasure to have someone else who could monitor this one).  After the transaction was completed, I began to put her merchandise in a medium sized bag (which was amply large for her purchase) and she requested a bigger bag (which is actually a huge red flag) and put the receipt in her wallet. What keeps coming up about this incident is that she was reacting like a caged animal--caught and desperately trying to claw herself out of the situation.

I believe what happened to me yesterday in the micro is also happening to the world in the macro. The dark powers that be are now quickly losing power, but they are not giving up without a fight. They are still hiding in their deceptions, still clinging to the illusion of their infallibility and invincibility. However, little by little, more and more people are waking up. They may still be able to hide for a short time, but their usual tricks are no longer working as well as they once did.

There will be fighting as the animals are backed into their cages. There will be some injuries as those nearest the cage will find themselves feeling the sharpness of the claws. It may even look like that animals are ready to break free and wreak havoc on the population at large, but this is only an illusion. The animals' powers are largely already gone. It is now just a matter of closing and locking the cage.

Things always look the darkest just before the light breaks through. Hold on just a little longer. The light is on its way.

Overcoming The Energy Of Attack

Recently, I've had the interesting opportunity to explore the energy of being attacked. This was not a physical attack, but in very real ways it has made my body react through the great energy exerted mentally, emotionally and spiritually.

The source of the attack is actually an old, dear friend of mine. He came to mind several months ago, and I wondered if I could find him through social media. When someone I knew in the past comes to mind after such a long time, I believe it is important to follow up on it. Such mental images and messages are signs from Source that we need to tune in. Anyway, I looked and found him easily enough.

Without going into a lot of detail, suffice it to say he did not agree with a post I made. The conversation began well enough as he asked what I proposed as an alternative and I gave him one solution I see. From there, he began to go slightly off topic to a point we have debated some in the past. As the conversation continued, he resorted to actual name-calling.

Now you may be asking why I put up with such nonsense. The bottom line is, I believe there is something to learn from this situation. Running away from problems only results in them coming back at a later time.

As I use my intuition to feel into the situation, several things become apparent. My friend is angry and in pain, which is why he lashes out. Some experience in his past has hurt him to the point where he feels the need to protect himself and others by fighting against that which hurt him. My friend is not truly lashing out at the person I am. He is lashing out at my belief because it is similar to something that hurt him in the past.

The energy of attack is based on underlying pain and anger that comes out when a person is reminded of an experience that caused them past heartache. People provoked to attack do so as a way to overcome that pain so they can maintain some sort of power or control over their lives.

This is why the energy of the heart is so important. It says, "I am here for you. I support you. I love you. How can I help you sooth your pain and replace it with love?"

I am by no means perfect, but I am living my life in such a way I am learning to overcome energies that attack by using the power of the heart. As healers of the planet, this is our calling.

Do what you can to reflect on those attacks that come your way. You can literally change the course of the planet by counteracting attack through the power of heart.
