Humanity is facing its shadow - its darkness created over millennia. Do you think you can lift into the heart without facing this darkness? It is not possible. The only way to avoid the darkened inner shadow is to live only in the mind or in the emotions - you avoid the journey through your shadows that way.
But life in the mind is dry and not that illuminating if the heart is not open. These days, it becomes more and more lifeless as the true nature of the heart reveals itself and seeks to vivify all living.
The emotions are like a sea of turbulent waters, often dark and troubled. At times you may feel peace and stillness in the emotions - you can strive for that, and to uplift to the higher levels of the astral matter where there is relative peace. But, in this time of human turbulence, there is little peace in the astral. It is the richest and most developed of the inner bodies at this time. When I say "richest" I mean that it has the greatest wealth of experiences contained within it. The mental body has only relatively recently begun to develop more definitely, and take shape with its own experiences and learning.
So, humanity faces it's demons again. The heart must win.
If you truly want peace, judge not any action, any word, any thought or feeling on it alone. Judge only by the heart.
Many actions seem unjust in the immediate, in the now. There is no right or wrong based on the actions themselves.
You look at what each "side" does in this war. In the mind, in the feelings, you can find justice in all their actions - no matter what side. You can find understanding, if you look from each individual point of view.
A suicide bomber is driven by a sense of enacting justice. An army general may be responsible for civilian deaths, but acts through the driving force of a larger objective to overcome the enemy.
Let everyone play their parts.
But if you want peace - play your part from the heart. Lift your feelings of anger, grief, despair, hatred - lift them to the heart and find what action it is that you must take - from the heart.
It is the heart alone that can solve this world crisis - the heart's justice, where all aspects of consciousness are weighed and balanced, and healed.
If you think there is no justice, lift to the heart. There never has been true justice when meted out through the plane of emotions or the plane of the mind. They are but parts of the whole, and cannot represent the higher light in its totality.We are here dealing with a world problem created by eons of time, by every human emotion and thought of hatred, vengeance, meanness and anger; by every thought/emotion of power, dominance, separatism and selfishness.
Face your shadow, humanity. You have created this crisis, you must heal it.
There are no innocent on this Earth - not one has failed to contribute to this soup of darkness that now, finally, has to be dealt with.
Don't add guilt to your feelings because of this - just be a realist. No one is perfect, everyone has had moments, even whole lives where darkened feelings and thoughts have been allowed to act.
So, now you have to do something about it - yourself. Ascension, purification, karma release - we have given and are still providing more and more tools so that you can lift above this soup - so that you can purify and lift your part of it and not just walk away.
The brother-sisterhood of Earth is that global community of peace created by the daily actions of everyone - every single one of you. If these changes, these transformations, are made in small ways every day by those who yearn for true brother-sisterly peace - there will be no darkness to nourish death and destruction through hatred and pride.
Think about it, take your steps, make living peace a reality.
Lovingly, DK
