I want to share something I read by Thomas A O'Kane who is a world traveler who speaks of the planet in transition; a planet trying to give birth to a greater consciousness.

The Center Must Hold

In our personal lives times of great transition are marked by deep uncertainly, fear, anger, grief, disillusionment, even despair. This can be balanced by the sense of a new calling filled with possibilities, hope, growth, dreams, expansion and a revivified life. During such passages we are asked to wait, listen, and stay connected to our soul while not clinging to the old identity or grasping onto a premature way of escaping. Imagine this condition magnified billions of times throughout the planet.

Given what is occurring throughout humanity we should not be surprised to find these conditions mirrored in our lives and all around us. It is a naive form of specialness to expect that because we are on a personal spiritual journey that we will not be affected by the state of the planet in crisis. The great gift of spirituality is that it offers us, through various traditions, a body of proven teaching and practices that will aid us in holding our own center.

Namaste
