Have courage in the face of these trials

What I wrote to DenG when he bemoaned the paltry number of colleagues who resisted injection:

Do not be discouraged. At every moment each incarnated soul is diving and surfacing, diving and surfacing. Each breath at the surface gives vitality to commit to the difficult travel beneath, and each dive stirs the deeps and brings us in contact with forces beyond our puny human conceptualizations. How frightening for most.

There is no knowing the effect of your ripples, as you dove deep and found something to hold to of virtue and value and integrity; but that you don't SEE those ripples in obvious form doesn't mean they aren't there.

This is a long game - way longer than just 2020-2022, or this decade, or century. Each act of virtue and valor is important, is creative and sacred. Each act is necessary and not easy to pull off, all things considered and knowing humanity.

Thank you for taking a stand for good when it was not the easy way. May we all be guided so.

Indeed, for every action here in the sublunar world, there is concatenate events in the spiritual. Take heart.

And sometimes all we can do is take the tiniest of tiny sips of the spiritual. "Take heart" is, I figure, central. The heart's teachings are profound.

Beautiful! I read it the first time over in the comments on the blog but seeing it again was helpful a second time.

I'm glad :). I decided to post it here so I could remember it myself, when things appear grim.

Also, Christophe's comment is worth a reread:

"Practicing protection spells and rising through the planes is just about the most important decision you can make to set yourself on a different path from the one most people have abdicated their will to travel upon. Given that your protection spells can have influence over ever larger communities as you navigate your way up the tree of life, your current practice will likely have a greater impact on which human values manage to make it to the far side of the mess we're currently living through than any attempts to scream your way into political or social influence ever could.

The quietness of your occult practice today will continue echoing loudly, long after the current hysteria has dwindled to an inaudible whimper. Remember to consider the importance of mind state during physical life itself, rather than just at death. A state of calm takes a lifetime of practice, and that practice is not to be braved merely for the inevitable test at the end. That would be missing out on the fun all along the way!

The demonic amplification of fear accompanying so many on their journey to their next lives is quite horrifying, as well as completely unnecessary. However, the forces invoking that tsunami of anxiety, while expecting to benefit from its distorting influence for many lifetimes to come, may not be the ones who actually do end up benefiting from it. There are forces far, far greater than anguish and bluster at work in our universe. When those forces fully reawaken, I rather expect today's superfluous worries to look like the anachronistic clinging to a dying age that they actually are.

As for the infestation of death panic over the last two years, fortunately prayers for the fallen can significantly help them through their resistance to the journey. Rebuilding and healing always rest on the weary shoulders of the survivors, from whom the boon of death has been temporarily withheld. In this case, there will be much healing needed in both the seen and the unseen worlds, and many exhausted survivors to boot! Keep practicing those things that make it easier for you to hold fast. Whether you survive this round or not, countless shades will be needing you to hold ever so calm and fast, as they make their first, tentative steps towards letting go of their fears and learning to dance with the Fates.
