It’s too hard to tell what will happen next because everything depends upon choices made. We could give you a best-case scenario but that would be useless, for humankind always has the last word on the Earth plane. Keep your prayers and intentions focused on what is truly right for the greatest amount of people, on what is heart centered, kind and compassionate, on what is the most loving thing to do. No matter what is going on in the world around you and what decisions are made without your agreement, keep always focused on these basic laws of love.
The atrocities of now are rampant and heartbreaking. For those who are sensitive and tracking of the truth, the impact of such sympathy can be one of overwhelming sadness.
Life, like the tide, is cyclical. This is the Law of Rhythm. Rhythm is a natural law, not karmic. The former movement of the world toward inclusion of all has rapidly shifted toward its opposite, a world of separateness. This example of rhythm is as basic as the breath.
When we inhale we bring home to the lungs oxygen. When we exhale we release from this inner wholeness carbon dioxide molecules to go off on their separate lives in the universe. Oneness and separateness are the Yin and Yang rhythm of our existence.
Currently, we are in an extremely rapid swing of separateness that is causing many innocent casualties around the globe. The indifference of world leadership toward these horrors, at core, reflects the brutality of a cosmic change of season.
Nonetheless, ancient karmic forces have attached to the current brutalities, seeking revenge for felt crimes from former times. Furthermore, the decisions and actions of now will generate karma for many whom will meet the inevitable consequences of their actions in this world, or beyond.
The swing we are in the midst of is inevitable and unstoppable. Its speed has accelerated beyond light speed. This, though so deeply ungrounding for the majority of the world’s populace, suggests that the climax of its dominance is close at hand. Once the climax has been reached, we will all be able to breathe in fully, as the inclusive needs of all will assume the ascendency once again.
Perhaps with this perspective, one can find calm in the midst of chaos and uncertainty. Though we cannot stop the tide, we can ride its waves in calm balance and find harmony in change. For those who are fatally caught by its waves, we can know that at the astral phase of existence, beyond physical life, everyone has the opportunity to live and complete all life that was shortened by the storm.
The gift of our time is the growing awareness of the power of the subconscious mind to share in the power of the creative, and the created, through autosuggestion. In a time of limited resource, we can go inward in joy and gratitude as we suggest ourselves toward health and fulfillment in this material world. Through intention for the highest good for all, we contribute to better balance for a world steeped in shifting tides.
With the breath, we can slowly breathe in our wholeness and enjoy its wonder as we hold it for a while, then slowly release it to its separateness, as it exhales to the world. With every breath, we ride the eternal Law of Rhythm.
In the midst of the horrors of the Great War (WWI), Judge Hatch, from infinity, instructed his scribe, Elsa Barker, to balance herself as follows:
“Reach up to the indwelling Spirit and repeat, For her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.”*
This affirmation is a well-established path for everyone to traverse in order to arrive at a state of inner peace beyond sadness. Our indwelling Spirit is our High Self, the spark of the Divine that resides beyond the fray of mortal life. It is indeed a separate part of the Divine, the uniqueness of you, yet holographically united with All That Is.
Finally, from the ancient wisdom of the Old Testament (Deuteronomy 33:25), is expressed the knowing: As your days, so shall your strength be.
Whatever comes to greet us each day, we have the strength to greet it in return. Sadness must at times be felt and released, but know you are filled with the strength of mastery, of all things.
In Rhythm, Chuck

When darkness comes, remember that it is always followed by light, just as night is followed by a new day. Keep this in mind as you fathom what is going on in the world you live in, as you ponder how best to respond and as you face your fears of global collapse and universal war. Keep also in mind that there is another side to everything. Just as there is light following dark, there is also that which you can see clearly in the light of day and that which you cannot see at all in the dark but you know exists nonetheless. Spirit reality exists simultaneously with human physical reality and both aspects are alive and well and working together. You may not always be aware of this, but your dreams show you how they communicate and how they interact, bringing you what you need to learn and face. Stay connected to this truth, that spirit and matter are two sides of one thing, your human self.
There are so many stars in the sky, more stars than you can imagine, more stars than you could ever take in with a glance. Light upon the Earth blocks visibility. Even in the darkest areas on the planet, where billions of stars are visible, the human eye is incapable of seeing what is truly there. Allow your own eyes to take in as much of the wonders that abound on your planet as possible, knowing that there are even more that you cannot see. Keep in mind that this is the same as far as spiritual wonders are concerned as well, the unseen world that you sometimes encounter but then dismiss and doubt. There is so much more than meets the eye, so much more that is impossible to take in, but trust that it is there, and be assured that you will one day be ready to fathom it all.
Remember who you once were, a small child with big dreams, an innocent figure in the big world, wondering how you would ever be able to do the things you dreamed of. Perhaps you felt invincible and untouchable and those feelings propelled you forward into life. Or perhaps you felt weak and unworthy and those feelings followed you into life. Perhaps it took you only a short time to achieve your goals or perhaps it has taken you a long time to finally feel like you belong. Either way, you all started out from the same small place of childhood innocence and thus you all had equal opportunity to grow, whether you felt that at the time or not. Everyone born into the world is filled with hope and wonder and possibility. Circumstances that challenge are the things that make you really innerly strong. If your inner life is strong and resilient, so are you. Look to your strengths rather than your weaknesses. In gathering the truths of your abilities, be in amazement every day at how well you have done and how wonderful your life really is.
