It seems to me that our media have done their best to dazzle, entice, and anchor us in the external – and particularly in that which pleases the senses. Or frightens us, pleasantly, etc.
It hasn’t left us well positioned to approach things like world peace or other global issues. Our attention span has probably suffered and we may not, post-Covid, have exercised our love-of-humanity muscle in perhaps a very long time. Again by cabal design.
Regarding things which please the senses, I find myself less and less interested in those these days. I can’t bring to mind anything else I want these days besides a daily coffee.
That having been said, I treasure love and bliss these days above all else. When in either, I don’t miss sushi or chicken shwarma. Or anything else for that matter.

When I look, I see that the common denominator of what keeps me moving forward at this time and probably most times can be put in a word: Values.
I could have said “the divine qualities” because that’s what I value. I value generosity. I value humility. I value compassion.
And when I say those sentences, I can feel my “valuing.” I feel a gigantic “Yes!” inside me with each of those statements. I feel hopeful, optimistic, enthusiastic. We probably can all remember a generous, humble, or compassionate person and, when we do, we probably break into a smile or “feel good.”
It’s what I value and it’s the valuing process itself which feeds me and keeps me going in the midst of all the turmoil and mayhem. My values keep me “alive.”
But, at the same time, it feels like a war goes on inside of me between the side that wants to remain with my values, the divine qualities, and a part of me that wants to follow events in the outer world and wants to see the departure of darkness from Planet Earth.
But haven’t I complained of this division for years? It may be something more people than just me are managing and may have to manage as long as we’re in service.
Our impulse is towards the spiritual, but our duty is, as Michael once said, in the lower dimension because that’s where the work is. (1)
The spiritual and material will come into alignment as a result of Ascension, but right now, in my view, it calls upon us to be fed from the heart and be patient.

Then there is a part of you that is in fact in the, shall we say, the morass of the chaos in the lower (for lack of a better term) dimensional realm because that is where the work is.
