When Bad Things Happen

The energy across the continent is affected as we receive the news of yet another alienated young person crying out, as loudly as they possibly can, to be visible. But the tragedy in Blacksburg VA should in no way surprise us. The only surprise should be ,"where will it happen next?" Each 'copycat' tragedy will be even more horrific than the previous. Why? - is what the country is asking. And the same old discussions circulate - "gun control - no gun control - more campus security - better emergency response plans - who can we blame? - should the administration have acted more quickly to contain the site?"

No one asks the real question. What has this tragedy to tell us about ourselves? Each and everyone one of us. People will look to those of us who teach the Law of Attraction and ask with scarcasm, - "so did these young people attract this? They will use this example to try to pooh-pooh the idea that we have any role to play in our destiny. It will delight them to feel they have an "ah-ha" to prove this is just "pie-in-the sky" or pop psychology.

Well, they did attract it. Not them, individually... we did ... collectively. They paid a heavy price for our lack of attentiveness. The reason you may find that hard to believe is exactly the reason why this happened. We don't want to take responsibility and we are not listening to our Higher Self messages. We are still acting like children in the Garden of Eden. .. it's his fault - no, it's your fault...

If you know a little about quantum physics, holograms and the Law of Attraction, you have a bit of an understanding of "collective consciousness". You understand our world has been operating with a sense of isolation from God - from nature - from each other. Perhaps the origin of this goes back 6000 years to the story of the casting out of the Garden of Eden. Suddenly, we were "left on our own". The Copernican revolution showed us we were no longer the centre of the universe - Newtonian physics further isolated us as separate entities - Cartesan philosophy separated mind from body - and Darwin told us we were little more than any other living species. Our sense of loneliness, alienation and angst grew.

Quantum physics is reminding us of our connectedness. It, more than any other 'ism', has the potential to bring us back to a state of understanding, as the ancient Mayans would say, "I am another You". When we begin to re-awaken to our One Source, our holographic connections, we will understand how this tradegy happened and what to do about it.

Did we attract it? Yes, as a collective consciouness, we did. It is a message crying out for all of us to begin to live differently.

Each of these incidences is a holographic message to each and every person on the planet. You are a part of the whole. What happens to one - happens to you. Did these individual students attract this tradegy into their lives? Of course not. But we, as a collectivity, attracted it. Because we failed to learn from the previous messages we were sent. The message is to see our connectedness and to abandon this destructive attitude of dualism that is destroying ourselves and the planet.

I have found, in all the work I have done with the Law of Attraction, our Inner voice guides us daily. It sends us important messages in our daytime hours and symbolic messages in our dreaming hours. Our responsibility is to heed the messages. The messages are there to guide us and protect us, individually and collectively. But we have shut down our inner Spirit or holographic intelligence. Science and double -blinded studies, legislation, institutions, task forces and policies have replaced inner counsel and, instead, have become our guides. "Leave it to someone else to solve." We are driven by left brain, power-based thinking. We ignore the holographic intelligence available to us from the universal energy field through right brain intuition.

The separation created through science has created an experience of dualism. Who is right? - who is wrong? - who is strong? - who is weak? This dualistic worldview is where we are looking again - after yet another school tragedy. What louder message can we get than the murder of innocent children telling us we are being asked to look inside and examine our collective conscience. How horrific will it have to be for us to start asking different questions?

We are all responsible. We are responsible because of the dualistic mindset we hold. We are responsible for a society that promotes the " in-group or the 'out- group' - a society that clamours to see "who will be voted off the island"! A society that accepts there should be the "haves" or the "have nots". Listen to this young mans ranting! Listen to him railing against the rich - the separateness of his life from all he sees happening around him. And listen to how everyone "walked past him" in life as though he was invisible. We have heard it all before. Why haven't we changed?

Don't blame the institutions. Blame ourselves. But most importantly - LISTEN to the messages. If we don't - the messages will only get 'louder'. We can change our thinking. We have FREE WILL. We can just as easily choose to be a society of love, peace, non-judgment and "figure how to keep everyone on the island!"

Quantum physics says we can make a difference just by making a difference in our own heart, in our own families and communites. Resist any talk of comparison, judging or alienating. See your neighbor as an extension of yourself. Make it your responsibility to rid this from your heart. And a new energy will expand out into the world. The lives of these young people will not be in vain. We will have "grown up" in the Garden and taken responsibility for becoming the loving species we were destined to become. Don't let the children die in vain. It is not about gun control - it is about your loving spirit.
