Exacerbation of the old as the new begins birth

[Fire Walk With Me]

"That which a thing is, increases" in co-creation energy. We're not becoming a sicker society; what sickness exists is being exacerbated through manifestation energy. Change occurs when enough people decide they do not want something and the negative and old, fear-based ways of life must be brought to highlight so that we may examine and refuse them.

The Trend has been visible through sudden breakthroughs and support for gay rights as well as sudden refusal regarding negative methods such as Rush Limbaugh, ALEC, the NRA, the republican clown kar, wall street, and now, capitalism and its vampiric nature. In America and elsewhere, the Occupy Wall Street movement is even more about mutual aid, support, inclusion, belonging, education, shelter, feeding the hungry, medical care for the sick, about community and community empowerment and the empowerment of the individual in participatory, horizontal democracy, than merely about ending the horrible economic inequalities we still see.

This terrifies all of the major for-profit industries such as housing, medical, education, governance, war, prison, you name it.

So they sent militarized police to end it and prevent it from ever again occurring. Out of fear. Out of dominance. Fear leads to control. That path has ended. The new way of life wishes to begin. You can stomp on the flowers but you cannot stop the spring, says one Occupy banner featuring a policeman attacking a growth of blooms.

The control systems will continue to seek control ever more clearly and in increasingly ugly ways. That they themselves are out-of-control is even now visible. The new energy does not simply banish such; it makes it harder and harder for it to be, yet does not prohibit it trying.

I was taught that crisis is the inevitable clash between directions. The old direction does not wish to end, yet it must. The new direction must be born. It is waiting, just beneath the surface. The increasingly potentially positive energy and manifestation is a given.

I do not know how this shall play out. I fear, I worry, I do not wish to become caught up in this. I do not know if it features, or even requires the horrible to occur for it then to be roundly banished. I do not know if the transition may be peaceful and positive. I do know that we are in the time of consideration which shall create the next way of being. I do believe that we may choose the positive and not be over-run by the old systems as they begin juddering with instability. I do not know if they must cause a certain amount of harm in order to further cement our desire for something different and better.

I'm not even sure what I'm implying. I worry at negative events striking at our personal stability; it is unclear to what extent these shall take, or should take. In the event of significant upset, stop and breathe and check the writings here and elsewhere regarding maintaining your personal positive state and vibration. Not all of the change we shall see will be pretty. There may be Divine Order involved, but that must reveal itself and be sought. If anything significant occurs, please remain at peace. Please reach for the light. I'm not certain what is "up".

1. I remember watching an old landlord using a kitchen sponge to mop up the water flooding our basement

She was a very nice lady, and a good landlord. We were renting a tri-level from her, and two bedrooms and a bath were there on that lower level. We'd had a record setting rain and water was just coming up through the floor. She was not gonna stop that flood, nor was she doing much of anything to control it, but by golly, there she was on her knees with thsat little sponge. We let her keep on for as long as she was willing because, as she put it, doing something was making her feel better. Ultimately, they dug up around the foundation of the house and installed drain tiles and a bunch of external plumbing stuff to prevent another flood.

What we see now, is a similar type of situation. Change is flooding in and the ones attempting to stem the flood are just making a token attempt to suppress that. It might be making them feel better for now, but in the long run, but there will end up being no choice for anyone other than to fix the issues at their foundation.

For all of us living "the flood" it is maybe not gonna be terribly fun, and it is gonna be a trial to be survived--but ultimately, it will get better.

Sorry, that is maybe an off the wall way to express it, but literally, I was reminded of that as I read your OP.

2. That's a nice analogy, and I have to say "hi" to another fan of the wisdom of

Bill the Cat.

3. I'm trying my best to not worry, or fear the future.

There will be upheaval and negative events, it's inevitable - as the light seeps into the darkness and fractures it, the pressure will intensify and manifest. I am oddly ok with this though, and realize I cannot allow external events to disrupt the inner positive state I've been cultivating. I feel like a warrior preparing for battle, working on myself, changing the way I think, I'm getting ready for something.....

Like you, I am not certain what is "up". But I am certain that choosing light, choosing love, is the only option.
