A Miracle Delivered: by precious dog.
Last night I prayed for a miracle.
A miracle for humanity, for our planet, and also for my own mind - to be healed, so that I may wake up in the morning reminded and re-membered with why was I put here on earth, how might I be of service, and what my role is in the bigger picture. Most of all, I wanted a reminder of the relevance of what I was working on with such intense dedication: S.O.U.L. Academy: School of Compassion, a vision that came through the purity of the animals' plea for humanity. A vision given to me last year following an incident with seeing chickens being driven to slaughter.
In the midst of global shifts and vast unknown, I wanted a reminder of why it is even that important or relevant...
I feel that our "job" these days is to remain in our light as much as possible - as my dear friend Dafna reminds me - to show the way, to stay heart-focused and compassionate, rather than participate in the energy of fear. But last night I had enough. I was tired, fatigued, and broken. I ache when I see images of suffering. I ache even more deeply when I see and hear people who are not yet awakened to what is going on around us. Still busy-ing themselves with pursuits of expensive gadgets and possessions that really would mean nothing at the end, competing with those around them for resources or status... It puzzles me to the core that there are some people who still are so unaware of the shifts, and are unwilling to become mindful of their ways. Will anyone ever understand the truth about Compassion, Unity, and Selfless Service, as the animals' have asked of us to consider?
I began to doubt my life's mission and its relevance...
In all honesty, it has not been easy - the path of service and absolute dedication to my purpose. I have left a career behind as a child & adolescent therapist, a nice paycheque, a packed-schedule, a growing client-based, a field I pioneered out of passion to offer help as a Pet Loss Counsellor and Intuitive Animal Healer... I left behind all that I knew in order to birth this vision into life - because I so believe in it!!!
I am not alone. Many in my life right now are feeling that "something is missing," wishing for deeper connections, more meaning, honesty, and purpose. Many are also struggling financially, aimlessly trying to get by. Money might not be here for much longer, but for that to happen, we ALL need get on board. We all need to learn to share, offer what we have and help one another in whatever means we were blessed with - like old times. I don't have an answer as to "when" this would happen, and "how" but I do recognize that a mega-change must happen on a cellular level for all of Humanity and indeed it is happening - the
Perhaps all this chaos is in fact perfect Divine Order - forcing us to come closer to one another, restoring our faith in a Greater Intelligence that rules this universe instead of believing that man does. Enough already, let us
We are all in this together. What is going to save us is not how much money we have, our precious cars, or even our homes (especially when these crumble like jelly when the earth opens up). What is going to save us is the opening of our hearts, doors, and hands to one another. Offering shelter, food, companionship, friendship, a phone call - to those in our lives who might be struggling, fearful, lonely, needing forgiveness, or sad - without any gain whatsoever other than the mere moral obligation to do so, and out of LOVE.
And so I got foggy and sad, and went to bed praying to be shown the way to global peace. I truly wanted to be reminded of what I can do to help, what God and the animals’ wish of me / us to consider, and how I might take my holy part in the bigger plan... I think I even cried myself to sleep. I care so deeply for our fate, for the animals, for humanity, for our planet, for those who are refusing to see that we must must must wake up... I am not the norm, I've known that from birth, but still I feel deeply and cannot, nor do I want to, change who or what I am (and being a sensitive Cancerian doesn't help!)
The next morning my miracle was delivered!
It came in the form of a YouTube clip of a precious dog patiently standing beside another one amid the ruins of devastations following Japan's tsunami. The dog barked and got people's attention, and eventually returned to sit by the injured dog until he/she too rose up from the ground. The two dogs licked each other in gratitude and what looked like joy!
THIS IS IT!! THIS IS WHAT IT IS ALL ABOUT!
I felt a surge of renewed hope and energy, as I re-membered with the truth of why I must go on talking about Selfless Service and the animals' teachings despite all difficulties...
A Miracle is merely a shift in perception, so that we may be able to see things through the eyes of Love and not through the eyes of fear. An inner change in how we see and think, followed by an outer / external change in reality. A miracle then is simply the awakening to the presence of love.
This beautiful furry angel was my Miracle! It was what I prayed for - a reminder of what is truly important in life these days... A pure embodiment of Unity and Selfless Service - the willingness to sacrifice our life for the sake of helping another, without a personal account of "what's in it for me?"... How come animals can do so more effortlessly than humans? I believe we have much hope - if we begin to learn from them and apply their wisdom in our lives.
The new world that is upon us consists of living our life differently... We must see that the old no longer works. We must shift towards Kindness, Absolute Truth, Unity, and Service. No other way can save our fate, and time is too precious to be wasted.
This is merely an invitation and sharing. Awakening to our Truth is not for everyone... It takes immense courage, faith, letting go, and patience. But what is the alternative?? Walking half asleep during these times of change, and allowing life to pass us by is harder in my opinion...
Share your light with the world - it was given to you for this exact purpose! With much love,
Shiri
