Jen, I agree with you. This world splitting stuff is fascinating, and sometimes it's hard for me to grasp, but what always seems to emerge for me is the same concept you're talking about - that people really do "choose" their reality based on where they focus their attention.
Sunday night I returned from a trip out-of-state to visit my parents for a few days. It was an idyllic, sweet, nurturing visit, as it always is with them. I'm an only child who is very close to her parents and honors them as true friends. I was very blessed to be raised in an atmosphere of pretty much unconditional love, and I think this environment really helped me to awaken my psychic sensitivity. When you're being attacked or shut down or controlled all the time, it's hard to open yourself up. In a nurturing environment, these abilities awaken naturally. I believe this is our natural state, to be psychically open. It's just the dysfunctional patterns we've learned to embrace as "normal" within our relationships and homes that prevents us from coming into this.
Anyway, whenever I spend time with my parents I'm struck by how we seem to create our own reality together. Nothing bad or unpleasant ever happens in the reality I inhabit with them. I mean, it truly doesn't. There appears to be this wave-form that the three of us create that is happy, light, and filled with high spirits.
While I drove home I was still in a mellow, pleasant space, and I was meditating on the work projects that awaiting me back home, organizing my thoughts, planning things out. I felt good and positive.
As I returned to New Jersey where I live I was suddenly hit by something that's hard to describe - but you folks here will "get" it, I think. I was hit by what I can only describe as a band of energy that was very fearful and negative. I could suddenly sense the suffering, the anger, the fear, and the pain of humanity being broadcast along this band or wavelength. If New Jersey were like the planet Saturn, I felt I was passing through one of its outer "rings," and this ring was very specific in location. It orbited within about 50 miles of my home.
So I drove into this heavy, intense band of energy, and I could feel this frequency trying to take hold of me. It's like all of this negative stuff was trying to suck me in, this formless, void-like, energy of pain and fear. It was trying to poke at me and deflate my great mood.
Pretty weird, to feel something like a "fear band" as a localized band of energy that you actually DRIVE through and can feel as you move through it.
This experience was pretty profound for me. I was walking outside yesterday asking my own guidance about this "fear band" and what it was, because I'd never really sensed localized bands of emotional energy or psychic distress like this before. Sure, I'm very aware of the energy of physical places, and I do a lot of work with other healers focused on healing ley lines, balancing out locations, clearing out discarnates and ghouls from homes, that sort of thing. But this was more like a band of energy without geographical location, almost like a FEAR MERIDIAN that I drove through once I entered a certain longitude and latitude with my car.
What came through as I was meditating was two connected thoughts. One was that all of this media attention about how we're supposed to be prepared for this major flu epidemic is very purposeful. The flu can't take hold of us unless we lower our psychic immunity to the point where we give into fear. Then our physical immunity will break down just as our psychic immunity has. Things always happen on an energy level first. Then physical disease can manifest.
The other thing, and this was a phrase that was directly given to me by my guides, was: "Fear is the carrier wave through which disease can be broadcast."
I thought that was interesting! To think of fear literally as a bandwidth, a frequency, that we have the option to move in or out of.
I was at the grocery store yesterday and I saw a huge line of seniors lining up for their flu shots, sitting in chairs. I felt such compassion for them. Sure, they're older, their systems aren't as strong as they used to be. But the lockstep obedience of doing what authority figures tells them to do.....without investigating information to the contrary about the faulty epidemiological research on the avian flu and other flus....let alone the mercury poisons within the vaccines themselves.....yikes.
We all get older, if we're lucky enough to live that long. But we need to remain sovereign and discerning. And remember, at all times, no matter what is going on, that fear is a choice.
I was able to consciously fend off that band of fear energy after I got home the other day, but it took real conscious effort. Imagine if I hadn't been aware that this was manipulated energy. I probably would have just personalized this fear energy and allowed it to poison my own thoughts, descending into greater and greater pessimism or stress.
How much of life on this planet is us simply manuevering through a psychic soup of other people's psychic debris without realizing IT DOESN'T BELONG TO US.
We can shake it off. And it's realizing that we have this option that is half the battle.
