Thank you, Ura-Soul,

Thank you for helping us to "steam out" the frustration in a calm and grounded manner while observing the current state of affairs. Reading your post has let me relax my solar plexus and regain deeper breath, and also - get a confirmation that the wise people are more and the wisdom always is more powerful than ignorance. The only pre-requisite is that the wisdom has to be applied not only on the yoga mat but also in our everyday conscious creations, individually and collectively. Being more disciplined and aware to what we give our emotionally charged attention to.. Where attention goes - creative energy flows and creates more of that which captures your attention.

Therefore, reading your calmly but assertively expressed recount of events in Rotterdam in a couple of paragraphs gives a conscious reader a chance to stay in the perspective of an observer who "registers" the collectively manifested reality. And meanwhile, arrange one's individual state of mind into staying firm in the desired vision for the future, instead of falling apart in frustration, fear, moral defeat and planning how to escape in the jungle, and totally forgetting that it is all US together who create this reality, and each conscious creator counts.

"I feel like pointing out that the word 'apocalypse' means 'revealing' and we are absolutely experiencing the predicted apocalypse period now."
Yes indeed. But, let's not forget that all the spiritual traditions of the world are dealing with awakening of a separate individual's consciousness (as a building block of the collective consciousness, and thus the collectively manifested reality). The "revealing" has the root in the person's consciousness. The "lifting of the veils of illusion". The myths, legends and sacred stories and metaphors are used to illustrate the processes of awakening each particular individual's consciousness. This offers the understanding that the current events IS NOT the apocalypse per se, but the consequence of many millions of individual apocalypses happening in individual awakening humans' minds. The more people on the planet are living their daily lives from the perspective of an Awakened Responsible Creator of Reality - the more the "light frequencies" are switched on - the more the polarized dark aspects become obvious and fight their agony before collapsing back into neutrality of nothingness.

I see these events as the proof that the "critical mass" of awakened humans has been reached and the tipping point is close. Therefore, the ability to stay unshaken by the appearances, even the one's that seem way too powerful than our emotional and mental discipline, is a gift. The way you have reported the facts in an unmoved manner is very helpful - "those who have eyes to see" can use these facts as a reference point for conscious creative visualization of harmonious wise solutions for those conflicting events, focusing their minds' powerful energy into creating harmonious outcomes for all of us collectively (- as opposed to "pouring more oil into the fire" by engaging with already manifested but unwanted reality).

"Some people have a trust in a religious idea of life/God. Some people have trust in a metaphysical understanding of health and creation, such that they feel safe without a mask. Some people simply study the scientific data and conclude that masks are counterproductive. Some people may combine all of these in their own way. The point here is that free will allows them to choose what they personally do and if others don't like it then they need to process their fear and communicate to reach balance in a peaceful way." Exactly. This is how things will be when we have manifested them in our collective reality with the potent creative power of our disciplined mind. The more people start doing that - the faster the desired manifestation will happen.

"So we have something of a log jam in society. The balanced communication necessary to reach solutions is over-ridden by imbalanced thinking and attempts to control people as if that is a solution.". This has been noticed. Now we can declare how we want things to be, as in the quote I copied from you above in the previous paragraph.

I'm so happy I landed on your post while roaming the Hive jungle - it is exactly ad hoc with what I have been writing these days. (Still in a writing mode, I guess, that's why the comment resulted so long :))))

Thank you for doing what you do and sharing your wisdom with the humanity!!
Big hugs!
Wisdom Wins. Always.
The "New Jerusalem" is already built in the minds of the awakened.
