I am fortunate.

As are my family and local community up here in the Far North of New Zealand.

Over two years after the pandemic first broke out globally, we finally experience the full impact as the Delta strain reaches our neighbourhood. Northland went into Level 3 lockdown once again on midnight Friday 8 October 2021. We have been so cocooned from the rest of the world. You could say we were ‘isolated’ and ‘immune’, or ‘unaffected’. Whilst everywhere else, people were experiencing undue levels of stress, we were walking around as if in an alternate universe, without much care in the world. The impact of the coronavirus hardly touching us. The relative freedom of movement had been given to us, by divine orchestration of geography and political foresight.

My Higher Self has this to say about the whole situation:

“You are now forced to go within. For you have all been mindlessly doing, running around at a frenetic pace, without awareness or care for the repercussions of your actions. You are now tasked to find the answers within to all your external problems. Slowing down allows you to see where you are becoming a product of your automatic behavioural patterns. Instead, you must now deal with what is dysfunctional and not serving the highest good of all. Be it mindless consumption, mindless speech or mindless action. It is now time for humanity to face their own inner workings and mechanisms, to understand deeply how their own actions have a cumulative effect on others and their environment.

You are not being punished. You are merely being gently helped towards clearing old patterns that no longer serve you. Because you have all been so busy in mindless productivity and industry, this enforced slowing down and introspective period will allow you to see the areas of your lives which need balancing and harmonising.

For you are all inter-connected and what one person does on one corner of the world, has an impact on another on the other side of the world. You have forgotten that you are all one and that your actions have consequences.

How are you being and going about in the world around you?

Take stock, reassess and reorient yourselves towards greater heart-based coherence with each other. This is the time to be brutally self-honest, as you hold the intention to purge all that is not in alignment with your deepest truths.

This, you will see as more time passes, is truly a blessing in disguise – for All.”
