In the storm of chaos….
What does one do when the outside world doesn’t provide an adequate focus, a sure enough foundation to help us know how to respond to events?
What does one do when one’s emotions are so rattled by all that’s occurring that all ties, predictions, and obligations are suspended and one feels the need to simply take care of themselves? Even when one forgets about the divine protection all around us, where does one then turn? (1)
In a situation like that, I turn to my foundational principles. These in turn generate my primary values.
A human being has the capacity to reason and put values ahead of all other considerations. Why else would Socrates drink the hemlock than to show his valuing of non-attachment and equanimity more than anything else?
Why else would the Spartan 300 face the entire Persian army at Thermopylae than their value of courage more than life?
And so here as well. If a train were bearing down on us, each of us would get in touch with our foundational principles and primary values very quickly. And these would make our action clear.

We can prepare for that kind of testing situation – which, or a scaled-down version of which, some of us may encounter – ahead of time by taking a look and seeing what our basic principles and values are.
I feel awkward giving my own because they’re influenced by having had both a heart opening and an out-of-body experience. Both of these make my choices easier and clearer. But they may not help you if you haven’t had them. Again, I don’t know.
Still, it must have been planned this way.

First of all, I share with all lightworkers a spiritual outlook on life. That means that I value the spiritual over the physical. So jot that one down.
Secondly, as I said, I had a fourth-chakra heart opening in 2015 which introduced me to that which changes everything – higher-dimensional love.
In my view, the heart is a portal to the higher dimensions. As Emerson said, and I paraphrase, who can ever forget the touch of that upon them which was the birth of all art and poetry? (2) That touch is love like we never imagined it to be. (3) Love is the most fundamental principle of all life and what I value most.
Thirdly, I’ve had an out-of-body experience, which shows me that I need merely step out of this rented costume at the moment of death and be on my way. Next assignment.
So I don’t fear death.
