The Gulf Oil Crisis : HEALING STARTS WITHIN

[sepia]

--------------

Gustav Meyrink:
Petroleum, Petroleum: A Prophecy

(Hier klicken für die deutsche original Fassung)



A fascinating story, certainly! Certainly?

Written in 1903, this short story describes the revenge of a wealthy man who has been very greatly hurt.
A badly hurt person always hurts others... sometimes thousands of times as badly as their own pain.

In his rage, he destroys life on Earth by emptying a huge underground oil reservoir into the Gulf of Mexico. The oil spreads unstoppably to cover all the oceans, so that no more water can evaporate up to build clouds: and because there's no more rain, all life on Earth is destroyed.

This story is more destructive than we might think, because the biggest destruction happens in our minds.

The dreadful pictures of oil-covered oceans lodge in our vision. And like strong magnets, they attract more negative pictures, energies, and emotions - which most people are not able to transform and heal. We are all more or less programmed to give negative ideas a lot of attention. And on this level of existency the destruction of all life on Earth is the worst.

HEALING STARTS WITHIN

In order to grow - and this principle always stays the same -
we move from 1. Thesis to 2. Anti-Thesis to 3. Synthesis.

Here's what I mean:

1. Thesis: We are vividly struck (and emotionally affected) by this strong, negative picture, described by Meyrink: an unbroken oil slick covering all the oceans, no more rain, and the death of all life.

By keeping this in mind (and this happens almost automatically, because it is so graphic and 'sticky') we ADD to a negative universe of thought, which becomes stronger the more people contribute to it. Every such 'universe of thought' tends to become more and more dense.... until it manifests in reality.

That's how the whole creation came into place by the way.

2. Anti-Thesis: To combat this, we often TRY TO AVOID negative pictures and thoughts. This is a reaction which stems from fear. We will certainly succeed to a certain degree... but many negative things will naturally be brought to our attention, just because we're all in this world.

By resisting or refusing to think about or look at something, we give it power and prominence... whether we intend to or not. Closing our eyes does not make something go away, and refusing to think about something is NOT a solution to a real problem.

3. Synthesis: It's always the Synthesis, the viewpoint which stands beyond the first two, that brings Transformation and Healing. But only if we consciously aim to do this!

Meyrink has written a story which ends with a very negative 'hanging' picture which then becomes frozen in our minds. Life on Earth has not yet ended - but he shows us (in his story) that it will. That thought is the last one we experience when we reach the end of his last sentence, so it stays with us. The real problem (within us) is if we stop right there.

The positive, proactive response is to confront this - facing up to the nightmare image with courage - and first of all start an internal process.

Meditation might help to first of all create an atmosphere of growth, love and confidence into infinite development. As spiritual beings we are able to create a Universe of Love and Healing which allows all the different parts of the creation (people, animals, plants, single cells, beings...) to find kreative solutions for difficult situations.

Remember that oil is a natural part of the planet (unlike plastic, which is man-made and can take up to millions of years to biodegrade, in the meantime causing huge damage) - so nature must have thought of natural solutions as well. And we all, as spiritual beings are invited to support them.

This means, for instance: Vast amounts of micro-organisms 'eat' and transform the oil. If our loving attention supports these organisms, instead of adding to the horror, they will do their job even better. It is the same principle when we lovingly care for the cells of our body: they will function in a better way.

And some people will assist by spreading extra micro-organisms physically as well...

Our spiritual presence - and our practical support: Both are very necessary.

Excellent.

And on a more human level: thousands of able, bright and well-intentioned engineers and geologists and (yes, even politicians and journalists) WILL FIND WAYS TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM if they are allowed to and supported sufficiently.

Our consciousness and positive intentions can also support them in their work. Not everyone involved in this crisis is evil.

[bluestflame]

yes the light of awareness assisting all involved to become more aware of other options , inspiration comes in a breath

Most often I will focus on the philosophical aspect of a situation - so that's what I do here:

Seen from "high above" this GAME on planet earth is the opportunity to practice our skills.
I haven't met anybody who had a bad intention! I have only met people or beeings who had a different understanding of the situation and there for worked for different goals.

And this is all fine, as long they are willing to accept that others have the same right. Otherwise this is experienced as negative - although the intention was positive to begin with.

And this is hard to accept: Every good intention has good AND bad results, as well as bad intentions have good AND bad results. Depends where you are.

So in order to prevent, that we start to fight harder and harder for our own goals (because we are convinced that they are only good), it's always helpful to have a break, and look from "above", from a quality of consciousness which is beyond all polarities.

Have a good Meditation!

Well said and VERY smart! Thank YOU Sepia!

it also reminds me that if perception is reality, then we "create" our reality by "choosing" our perception.
One of my favorite quotes is: "Seek not to change the world, but choose to change your mind about the world"
oh and this one: "Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one" - Albert Einstein

THX for reminding us all that HEALING STARTS WITHIN

With Love!

[Dragonfly]

Thank you for this very wise posting Sepia. I strongly agree with your viewpoint.
The oil spill in the gulf of Mexico can clearly be defined as a catastrophe from human perception. BUT: if we are able to put lots of love, light and constructive creation in this situation, i'm very sure from the deepest of my heart, the problems can be solved by us and by mother earth itself. Let's be confident, let's make up space for creation and let's do it now. We are strong - Earth is strong.

With love,
Dragonfly

What a positive post ,I agree we must stay focused on the positive and there are lots of them .

[onawah]

Thanks for the profound insight.
It is the thesis, antithesis, synthesis formula that is missing from so much New Age thought, and why so much of it turns out to be empty. We get to the Light by going THROUGH the darkness, not be denying it exists, or refusing to grapple with it. otherwise known as DENIAL.

[tone3jaguar]

The more society learns from what is happening constructively, the sooner this reality will manifest a solution. The more society plays the victim and learns only to feel powerless, the further away the solution will get. On an individual level, the more you learn from what is happening the more likely it is that you will slide into a parallel higher frequency timeline where the solution arrives. And of course the more you play the victim and learn nothing, the more likely you will end up on a timeline where the situation gets worse and spirals out of control. Choose your future, don't let anyone else trick you into letting them choose it for you.

This guy was in the Mystic Cabal......when he was 22 he was going to commit suicide and when he was about to pull the trigger he hears a knock on the door and then someone pushed a book under called ....THE AFTERLIFE........he then stuided magic etc.... I feel these people do time travel and project into the future. I feel that we can time travel back in time....and make sure he pulls the trigger.
He was part of the Zionist.....Jew.....Kabbalah......Madame Blatsky........Marx................well you get the picture. People who hate humans and want their destruction.

Now more than everyour assistance is needed with focused prayers and connecting to the Light energy

Ask for Divine assistance to cease the flow of oil in the Gulfto return the area to balanced condition. Include the marine animals to be held in Divine healing hands of Light.


NEW DEVELOPMENTS IN THE GULF OF MEXICO


YOUR IMMEDIATE ASSISTANCE IS REQUESTED


The recent oil spill in the Gulf is escalating with catastrophic vulnerability concerning the wellhead. Experts say a huge and very toxic gas bubble has formed and extreme pressure is building - fissures have already developed. They are predicting real possibility of volcanic like explosion producing tsunami and other major events.




VOLCANIC TSUNAMI AND POISON GAS ALERT

In these next few weekswe will experience extremely powerful energy especially with the astro alignmentssolstice and eclipses.

Now more than everyour assistance is needed with focused prayers and connecting to the Light energy. Ask for Divine assistance to cease the flow of oil in the Gulfto return the area to balanced condition. Include the marine animals to be held in Divine healing hands of Light.

Please ask everyone around you and network groups to assist in combining this focus starting NOW connecting to the Universal energies.

PROFESSOR EMOTO:
A friend just sent me the followingwhich she has just received -
It is 'straight from the horse's mouthand I want to share with you because it is so focusing for our energies in
Response to the Gulf tragedy and is so powerful for healing the waters and its inhabitants -


Today at our church we read a letter from Dr. Masaru Emoto who many of you will recognize as the scientist from Japan who has done all the research and publications about the characteristics of water. Among other thingshis research revealed that water physically responds to emotions.
Right nowmost of us have the predominantly angry emotion when we consider what is happening in the Gulf. And while certainly we are justified in that emotionwe may be of greater assistance to our planet and its life formsif we sincerelypowerfully and humbly pray the prayer that Dr Emotohimselfhas proposed.

PRAYER:
"I send the energy of love and gratitude to the water and all the living creatures
In the Gulf of Mexico and its surroundings.
To the whalesdolphinspelicansfishshellfishplanktonscorals algaeand
All living creatures . . . I am sorry.
Please forgive me.
Thank you.
I love you. "

I am passing this request to people who I believe might be willing to participate in this prayerto set an intention of love and healing that is so largeso overwhelming that we can perform a miracle in the Gulf of Mexico.
We are not powerless. We are powerful. Our united energyspeaking this prayer daily...multiple times daily....can literally shift the balance of destruction that is happening.
We don't have to know how......we just have to recognize that the power of love is greater than any power active in the Universe today.

Please join - repeating this healing prayer of Dr. Emoto's.
And feel free to copy and paste this to send it around the planet.
Let's take chargeand do our own clean up!


Your focus is alignmed to Divine Will and the highest good of all concerned.

THANK YOU FOR SENDING THIS MESSAGE TO AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE

Forgive Me Sepia,

I just Don't Buy into the Lovey Dovey (GobbleDeGook) of empowering little bugs through Meditation to eat up all the oil is going to work!

BP have opened up a hole through the mantle of Mother Earth creating an Abiotic Volcano spewing oil out at a rate of 70,000 PSI and approximately 100,000 Barrels per day.

And no amount of Praying to Little Bugs to eat it all up is going to fix it!

Having said that I believe Mother Earth will find a way to heal herself, just as we humans do when we are wounded. Together with Human Ingenuity, Mother Earth and our Benevolent Extraterrestrial Friends eventually this problem will be solved. At what cost to Human, Marine & Animal Life I don't know?

This Disaster is I believe the WAKE UP call Mankind has been waiting for to RID OURSELEVES Once and For All of the PTB that have controlled mankind for centuries.

I remain Optimistic & Positive that this Problem will be resolved in time, but praying to Little Bugs through Meditation to eat up all the oil?

Gimme a Break!

Sepia wrote...

they will do their job even better

...and that's true. Everything on this planet (and elsewhere) is influenced or affected by thought.

There have to be engineering solutions, of course. Your car needs to be serviced and repaired now and then. But you may be surprised how well and how long it will continue working for you if you love it a little.

The question is: what can we do? You and I are not in the Gulf right now working on the relief well, or helping in the clean-up. So maybe we can lend a hand in other ways. If millions of people do that, we might be surprised at the result.

Dr Masaru Emoto suggested a prayer for the waters of the Gulf (see the post at the top of this page) - because thought has been shown pretty much conclusively to influence the quality of water. This is a practical action he's suggesting, to create a physically measurable change.

Maybe we should all do that. It can only help... and is a more positive action than watching the drama play out on TV (or on the net) and/or sitting feeling helpless.... as many people are.

We shape the world with our thoughts every day... so to help change the world, one strategy is to change our thoughts. The bugs might even feel it.

[cloud9]

I absolutely support the idea of focusing on the desire result and meditation definitely helps (more than we think of). Now, dear jackovest, just in case you don't know it yet, EVERYTHING in the universe has consciousness, even "inanimate" things, just because we don't see it it doesn't mean it's not so. Think about this: every thing is made out of matter which is atoms and particles and all those particles are influenced by us, by our consciousness as it's been demonstrated by quantum physics so why not water and bugs? What about the sea floor?
Perhaps it would be more effective to meditate and visualize some kind of healing of the sea floor as a wound who once healed leaves a scar and then we can work on the bug part and purification of the water which I think it's easier.
Just imagine if a lot of people meditate and visualize that this wound closes itself and the spill is stopped without any turmoil. If you think about it, when doing visualization it's easy to imagine the planet as a small globe and the area of the spill would be very easy to see as very treatable, just as a vein that has been ruptured but the rest of the body is still working pretty well.

Please Bill, if You like this idea, can you help to promote it? A few thousands of people doing it it's just enough, we don't need the whole of humanity for this, as Greg Bradden says, just the square foot of 1% of the population involved is necessary to accomplish any goal.

[Lost Soul]

We're co-creators of our own reality. Never underestimate the power of thought.

[JoshERTW]

How is: "...praying to Little Bugs through Meditation to eat up all the oil?" any sillier a belief than thinking "...our Benevolent Extraterrestrial Friends" are going to clean up this mess for us?

Personally my money would be on the bugs, though I've suspended disbelief to the point that I wouldn't be surprised to see Obama (or more likely someone else from somewhere else) get up on a TV screen and say "Here are some guys from another planet. Theyre here to help. Don't freak out, and please don't kill them."

That being said - I've still got my money on the bugs. Sorry for the highly polarized post. Something in yours got me all riled up and overly defensive. All the best.

I do forgive you, dear jackovesk!
I'm not expecting acceptance from everybody. We all go through phases and earlier in life my reaction had been similar to yours!

In the game of creation we all have the right to deal with challenges in our individual way. Our higher Self gives us a very long rope. The Ego, the Personality is allowed to do what ever it wants - but the effect will come back as an echo - always.

This has always been a challenge for me - but the indian mystics offer the answers for thousands of years.

WANTING and ACTING out of "Knowing-how-things-should-be" is the Ego's game.
Let's call this Thesis (please compare to first post on top of this thread.)

Resisting and not doing anything is just the Antithesis; still on the same level, not better nor worse.

The Synthesis?
Pure spiritual consciousness changes things without using the power of Ego. We do what is there to do, out of an impulse which is connected with the higher Self rather than coming from emotions of the Ego.

And suddenly lies crumble, healing happens (really does!), plants grow better, peace is around us, people who want to play the game of winning and loosing disappear out of your life...
And maybe little bugs eat the oil better and faster...

Experience, development and finally transformation to spiritual consciousness will always be my essential purpose in life.
