Since the beginning of time man has had the opportunity to raise his consciousness level. The universe has a very effective way of presenting us with these opportunities - We live in a world of contrasts and that affords us the opportunity to make choices and to grow. The circumstances we live in are always a direct result of cause and effect – one of the magnificent Universal laws under which we live here. Thoughts are nothing but energy in motion. If we don’t like a particular outcome in our lives, and our consciousness level is high enough, we will choose to “respond” differently and thus affect a different, more desirable outcome.  Every disaster, tragedy, war, famine and human atrocity etc. is a reminder for us to remember who we are. We always have a choice to buy into the hysteria or to become response able and make a decision about how we will respond the “threat of the day.”

The present drama about the swine flu is a good example of this. It is possible to manipulate large numbers of people in the world exactly because so few of our race actually practice independent thinking. Independence of thought is the very first sign of freedom. Until we have that, we are slaves to circumstance. The majority rely on the mass media to educate them about matters that could influence how they live out the rest of their days on the planet (or elsewhere). Unfortunately a relatively small percentage of our world truly accepts responsibility for their own lives. We are trained and conditioned that we should ask for help and be looked after. We are taught that we have to be saved! Hence, the excessive emphasis on the government, a parent, an institution, even God to rescue them. “Being saved” is integral to the rescue model of living, but tragically requires no learning. That kind of thinking is of course, fatally flawed, but brilliantly serves the purpose of those who want to control and enslave the masses.

The recipe is simple – if you want to control large numbers of people, then take their sense of personal power away. It has worked for eons and is at work right now with the swine flu scare. Organized religion was the first of these methods to dupe the people. If you put God in heaven (which no one can see) and make the path getting there obscure and confusing, you have effectively removed the personal power of the individual. It reminds me of the ancient Hindu legend of the gods who tried to hide the “Godhead” from man’s destructive hands and couldn’t decide where to put it, knowing that man would someday climb the highest mountain and explore the deepest ocean and find the Godhead if it was hidden in either of these places. The solution was brilliant: they hid it deep within Man knowing that man will never think to look there.  And they were right.

There is no doubt that the envelope is being pushed once again with the swine flue and right now our world is filled with prophets of all kinds and creeds. Some tell us to run for cover, others tell us not to worry. But this is a time to keep your own council and consult the godhead within. Feel your own truth. Don’t react to anything – but choose your responses carefully. If you choose your response, you also control the outcome. It will surely begin to unlock your inner wisdom, which is your birthright, but has been stolen from you eons ago.

If you don’t buy into the mass hysteria, you will dilute the global effect of worry and concern and take away from that co-creation. By all means read what objective people have to say, but make your own decisions. The times we are living in is shining a magnificent light on the godliness lying in embryo in us all and will present us with wonderful opportunities for growth and evolution. Keep your own council. Be your own guru. No-one knows better than you. Trust your instincts – if you begin to do that with a pure heart and intention, you will never make a mistake again.
