The whole thing is incredibly depressing. We're probably looking at another lockdown, plus more frenetic vaccination campaigns and demonization of people who are anti-vax. My fear is that they start threatening your livelihood if you don't get the vax. Not jabbed, then you're out. On top of that if we get another lockdown/ disruptions/ whatever, then whatever projects/ business you were undertaking will probably come to an end or be significantly impacted. It's a lot of time, money and energy wasted. All that for what, I'm not entirely sure.
At a personal level, the situation is very frustrating, I can't help feeling what's the point of putting so much effort in a lot of things I'm doing if it's all going to be taken away from me anyway by a fake pandemic that will eventually become a real plague. And then, you're looking at economic collapse (and we're all read enough about times like that to know that there's nothing but misery and despair of all kinds there) and finally major cataclysm.
Exhibit A: You lose everything and humanity gets wiped out. Exhibit B: You lose everything and humanity gets annihilated. I'm not suicidal or anything, but given the circumstances can't help wondering why I'm bothering to get up from my bed. Like the comet might as well drop now since it all comes down to the same.
I've had similar thoughts, too, and I've noticed it has resulted in the shutting down of my drive to Do, to plan, to explore, to continue moving towards my goals. I find myself Trying instead of Doing. I think this is, in large part, what their diabolical plans are designed to produce in those of us who know. There is no future, they've already planned to take everything from us, and they will do it again - so why bother doing anything? Why bother living at all?
It's like it amounts to trying to convince us that we don't have the right to live.
There is a realization that can overcome this, though, and that's the recognition that this kind of despair is based entirely on
anticipation - the anticipation of this or that worst case scenarios of the PTB coming to pass. Of course, it could be like that - the C's have warned us of terrors to come.
But if we allow those terrors inside ourselves and allow our divine spark to be dimmed by their dark designs, we miss an opportunity to face it head-on, suffer intentionally, and stay in our centre despite all their machinations.
Anticipation is a tricky one:
Q: (L) OK, we've been talking earlier this evening about intent, and of course, our own experiences with intent have really been pretty phenomenal. We've come to some kind of an idea that intent, when confirmed repeatedly, actually builds force. Is this a correct concept, and is there anything that you can add to it?
A: Only until anticipation muddies the picture... tricky one, huh?
Q: (L) Is anticipation the act of assuming you know how something is going to happen?
A: Follows realization, generally, and unfortunately for you, on 3rd density.
Q: (L) Is this a correct assessment of this process?
A: Both examples given are correct. You see, once anticipation enters the picture, the intent can no longer be STO.
Q: (L) Anticipation is desire for something for self. Is that it?
A: Yes.
So desire for a
specific outcome is where we are trapped.
Q: (L) OK, so it's OK to intend something, or to think in an intentional way, or to hope in an intentional way, for something that is to serve another, but anticipation defines it as a more personal thing.
A: And that brings realization.
Q: (L) So, desire to serve others, and to do something because it will help others, brings realization...
A: But, realization creates anticipation.
Q: (L) Well, how do we navigate this? I mean, this is like walking on a razor's edge. To control your mind to not anticipate, and yet, deal with realization, and yet, still maintain hope... (J) They said it was tricky... (L) This is, this is, um...
A: Mental exercises of denial, balanced with pure faith of a non-prejudicial kind.
So when the despair thoughts come up, the thoughts of 'there is no point' or 'the apocalypse is coming, so why should I care about anything' - these are falling into anticipation. It is a good practice to notice them, and distance oneself from them - to not add your own life energy to them.
It's even more difficult if they are not vocal thoughts, but sub-vocal beliefs, and thus only expressed in behaviours. Changes in behaviour towards like poor diet, stopping the inflow of Knowledge and its external application, wallowing in negative emotions, all of these can be evidence of a sort of 'there's no point' hidden belief that might be trying to infiltrate and take hold in the castle of the psyche.
Q: (L) OK, so, in other words, to just accept what is at the moment, appreciate it as it is at the moment, and have faith that the universe and things will happen the way they are supposed to happen, without placing any expectation on how that will be?
A: Yes.
Which is super difficult. Everything may be taken from us - but Do what you will Do anyways! Continue to Aim, to plan, and to strive, to Create, knowing that it may all break down, that everything may go to zero, that death may occur on a small scale or a grand scale.
By way of analogy, knowing someone we love will die, we don't often take the perspective of 'well, no point in seeing them anymore, they will be gone soon.' Instead, the normal human impulse, I think, is to spend even
more time with them, knowing that each and every moment is precious.
The same could be our perspective with the other aspects of our lives. Death, or transformation, is always waiting. We have incarnated into a time where we may witness death and transformation on scale that is rare in the human experience. In the face of that, knowing that the very our ways of life themselves may die soon, is it possible to relate to life with even more care and attention, knowing that each and every moment is precious?
This could be one way of understanding what it means to 'stay in our centre' while the PTB roll out all their nefarious plans.
Q: (L) This is, and I'm not asking about Ark, this is something that he has talked about in terms of shaping the future. He talks about shaping the future as an intentional act of shaping something good, but without defining the moment of measurement. In other words, adding energy to it by intent, but not deciding where, when or how the moment of measurement occurs. When the quantum jump occurs, it occurs on it's own, and in it's own way. Is this the concept he's dealing with here?
A: Anticipation.
Q: (L) In other words, is what he's talking about anticipation?
A: No.
Q: (L) Well, what do you mean, anticipation in response to what I said?
A: That is the key to shaping the future... Avoiding it.
Suspending the moment of measurement in our times - what could that mean? To first of all, See what we can See, and also to not allow the evil out there within. To
not pray for a better world, for healing, or anything of that nature in a specific way. That would be measurement. According to the C's, putting out good intention is fine, but wanting the comets to come is also anticipation, or a sort of prayer for shaping of the future. It's not wrong to want a better world, but it is very subtle how one goes about doing it. Do what you will do, keep a good heart, and let the future shape itself.
The ethics of daily life, according to the C's, amounts to 'do what is in front of you to do'. And embody a certain FRV while doing it - one of presence, grounded in awareness, growing in Knowledge of Self and World, not allowing thought loops or negative emotions to cloud your vision. We definitely incarnated into a crazy time - it seems to me that the challenge for us forumites is a strange mix of knowing about all the horrors inherent in the possibility of the apocalypse - and then maintaining an attitude of calm and patience. This is the terrain of our battle - within our own minds, and within our own lives.
And of course, there are times when despair needs to be acknowledged, when grief needs to flow, and when depression results from integration of information. Shadow work is a very important aspect of the Work. But even then, one can learn to be in a place of non-identifying with the shadow material, to let it be experienced fully, to love ourselves through it, knowing that life is both sunny days and storms.
A: That is the key to shaping the future... Avoiding it.
Q: (T) OK, because we’re not anticipating in what we're doing...
A: Yes.
Q: (T) What we're doing is not anticipatory, it's just happening. We were talking about it on the way up, that with interactions with others, we are facilitating, we are creating reality. This is what they all say about reality.
A: When it hits you, it stops.
Q: (L) When what hits you? (J) The realization. (T) The fact that it's happening.
A: Yes unless you cancel out all anticipation.
Here's the trickiest part, I think. Let's say one enters into a state of non-anticipation, and suddenly notices that life starts getting better! Hooray! Even though external conditions deteriorate, the internal life gets better, richer, deeper, more peaceful more accepting and loving due to a raised FRV. It is important to be on the watch for when the mind jumps on 'realization', and says 'Hooray!'. Because that can lead to the realization of the
results of non-anticipation as a
technique for altering reality.
When the mind jumps on the results, then the practice of non-anticipation can be used in an anticipatory way. It is instrumentalized to try to produce a result. 'Oh, so if just non-anticipate, then life will get better!' This is still the same mindset of trying to get something, or to change the future. Non-anticipation seems to present us with the challenge of
surrender to whatever is to come. Not a surrender into sleep, but one of careful wakefulness, constant readiness, a willingness to suffer, sitting back and watching the show.
It's like a test of patience. Life presents a series of obstacles, or a petty tyrant, an illness. Our tendency is to what to fix things, to get involved. I would always snap to attention like that. But now I'm not so sure. I'm starting to think that some issues in my life are more like a test to see how jumpy I am. Are these problems lures to draw me out of non-anticipation? Maybe sometimes the only cure is time, to not rush into fix-it mode, and sit back, not make any fast movements, allow the mud to settle in the water, and See. This is the wisdom principle of the East that is lost on many of us Westerners - the principle of active non-action, or
wu wei.
