I'm pretty darn selective about what I allow into my daily feed. For example, I hardly ever watch the so called news or listen to talk radio. I'm selective about what I see in my FB feed and if something comes thru that I don't want to see, I hide it from view. However, once in awhile, I will see a particular story everywhere I turn and I recognize that there must be something for me to learn. Several years ago, that was the story of Cecil the lion and the dentist hunter. There was nowhere to turn where that story wasn’t present. (look it up if you must).
Now, those of you who know me, know that I'm a pretty calm, relaxed, easy going, happy gal...most of the time. So, along comes this story and (seemingly) out of nowhere, I was enraged. Rage exploded in every cell of my body, tears burst from my eyes, I felt as if I had been punched in the gut and I tasted metal.
How could someone be so cruel? What right did they have to inflict pain, take a life and take the head to mount as a trophy? WHAT KIND OF MONSTER DOES THAT? How is this still legal? Don't they have a heart? What if someone did this to them? BASTARDS!! On and on my thoughts and emotions ran out of control.
Then...I stopped myself. Wow!!! What was going on here? Poaching, hunting, animal cruelty...unfortunately these are not new to our world. I'm a vegetarian, so I'm no stranger to the way animals are treated.
Why at that time was this story showing up for me (and the rest of the world)? What could possibly be my lesson around this? And...better yet...where the heck did all of that deep seated rage come from?
So many layers to this. As a psychic medium, my experience is that there is no actual death whether animal or person so why be incensed by this beautiful creatures death? Well...it's not the death that's disturbing it's the cruelty and desired selfish gains of the egos involved. I’ll just leave it at that.
I’m seeing such a correlation to the climate we are being presented with now. We have the opportunity to feel rage, confusion, absurdity, hate, injustice, etc., etc….and the list goes on. As a matter of fact, it is encouraged, we are groomed for it and told that this is just the way things are. This is normal. There is no shame in feeling whatever we feel that’s for sure. However, this also provides us a golden opportunity to choose again…choose Love, Beauty, Joy, Abundance, Peace, Compassion, Ease. Place reminders of these uplifting, life changing choices around you always. Every new moment is an opportunity to choose again.
And then….Choose again, and again, and again……….and again.
