A lot of people are feeling overwhelmed and asking me how to understand the spiritual lessons behind the current pandemic. Part of our essence as humans is our capacity to learn and gain mastery, so asking this question is essential.
Something that I’ve been considering is this: what if there aren’t inherent spiritual lessons behind what we are experiencing?
When I say inherent, I mean ones that we can sit back and receive automatically, regardless of are actively engaging in learning.
The idea that the virus itself is here to teach us something implies that we can sit back and receive those lessons - but what if we need to stay engaged, and choose what will come from this?
What if this is happening because of many unconscious choices amplified over a system of 7+ billion people?
What if, just like war, the virus is something terrible that, in and of itself, isn’t here to teach us anything?
What if there isn’t a neat package delivery of lessons for us to find at our doorstep and unwrap passively?
What if, if we are to learn anything, it is totally in our own hands to CHOOSE to commit ourselves to bringing goodness and beauty into this world?
To do this, we would have to go inside ourselves and ask what good we can bring DESPITE the pain, suffering, and death that is happening.
We would have to CHOOSE what we are going to learn - and it would be up to each of us to put in the work to ensure that the lessons we learn will drive the humanity’s next steps along our path in a positive direction.
We would have to CHOOSE where we will find opportunity amidst crisis.
If this is true, what are you choosing to learn?
Here is some of what I’ve been working with, I’d love to hear yours!
🔥 We have the OPPORTUNITY to wake up spiritually, leave behind old patterns, and step into living from our higher spiritual purpose rather than trying to reclaim an old “normal” that in truth was already a crisis for most people.
🌍 We have the OPPORTUNITY to choose to remember that we are all one and support each other now and once this crisis has passed.
🌱 We have the OPPORTUNITY to start creating healthy, ecologically integrated systems for food, industry, and living that heal and nurture rather than poison.
🤝 We have the OPPORTUNITY to start building the foundations for a peaceful, abundant, and interconnected world for everyone, even if we can’t connect in person at this moment.
