In my opinion, what needs to happen in the world to bring about the resolution of all issues , individual or social, can be viewed as five steps.
This could also be considered my own version of a Truth and Reconciliation process.
(1) We stop the harm.
Pedophilia, involving child trafficking, sexual slavery, ritual abuse, child sacrifice, and organ harvesting, must stop.
The mistreatment of women, no matter what law or religious doctrine is used as justification, must stop.
The equity of men and women, taking into account biological specialization, must begin, across the board and everywhere.
(2) We discover the truth.
The record of what actually happened must be established. What went wrong must be known so that it can be prevented from happening again.
People’s allegations to having been victimized must be supported in the public record. For all that follows, the truth must be known and recorded.
Not everybody needs to serve as a witness of that truth. We should honor those who, in our name and for our sakes, listen to or in other ways deal with the horrific so that the truth can be established – doctors, first responders, judges, the military, etc.
(3) We make recompense.
If just and fair recompense is applicable, it must be paid and be seen to be paid. There must be no workarounds or corruption. Those days need now to be over.
If it involves incarceration, that also must be seen to have happened. The public safety would have to be the uppermost consideration were leniency to be discussed.
If recompense cannot be paid but is due, the state should see that it’s paid from a fund established for that purpose.
(4) We forgive the deeds of the past, for our sake as well as the perpetrator’s.
Guilt has been established and fair and just recompense has been made.
Hanging on to the past beyond this point may be counter-productive. It produces a residue of resentment.
Resentment and the desire for revenge are what produces the next war, in an endless cycle.
Someone described resentment as drinking poison hoping our adversary will die.
Resentment causes a war within ourselves, between one side that wants justice, which usually means revenge, and the side that wants peace but feels unheard and ineffectual.
A house divided against itself cannot stand. There’s no stability to the person with this war born of resentment going on inside him or herself.
The higher dimensions are dimensions of flow, not of stuckness. Stuckness keeps us in the lower densities.
Since any strong emotion can keep us stuck or attached to the lower densities, sooner or later we’ll have to let them go and move on.
At the same time, we shouldn’t necessarily look at our circumstances and feel discouraged.
Michael told me in my last reading that people who have, say, sickness in their lives often think they must have done something wrong.
But the person he was speaking of did nothing “wrong” to merit the sickness in her life. She agreed to model endurance with sweetness. He called her a “saint.”
Did you witness horror? You may be here to model someone who’s seen it, come back, and is carrying on, as a demonstration and an inspiration to the rest of us.
Kathleen would probably add a fifth step:
(5) We abide in gratitude for everything.
As our vasanas quiet down or we learn to dive down underneath them with our awareness, we do feel increasing gratitude for all that we’ve learned. But let me leave the discussion of that to Kathleen, who specializes in it.
Gratitude is like a ladder that lifts and inspires us. It definitely seems to have the effect of raising our vibrations.
Passing through these five steps I see as being necessary for us, if we want to resolve our issues as individuals and a world society:
(1) We stop the harm.
(2) We discover the truth.
(3) We make recompense.
(4) We forgive the deeds of the past, for our sake as well as the perpetrator’s.
(5) We abide in gratitude for everything.
They also are for me the way to reach the unity and harmony that St. Germaine describes here:
“Everything is energy and when all beings begin to emanate the higher vibrations of peace, harmony, joy, oneness, unity, love, respect, caring and compassion for other living beings, and all the higher-vibrational feelings, then harmony and unity result.” (1)
These steps are offered as a testable hypotheses. Try them out. If they work, use them or improve on them.
They’re offered as a way to navigate through the breakdown of the old social order that we’re presently passing through and the creation of the new.
