Here's  the story:

All races have stories about cataclysms that brought civilization to an end. These stories had their roots in small tribal groups living in geographic regions affected by natural disasters of one kind or another.

Although it must have surely seemed that the world was destroyed, to those of limited perception, life contined to flourish somewhere else on the planet. Cycles replay themselves over time, and we are in another period of earth changes, now. We are seeing a spate of messages on this and other boards describing this as the End Times.  Actually, what we are experiencing is TEOTWAWKI, or "The End of The World As We Know It".

This should be no surprise to any of us. After all, our mission assignment, if you will, was to be of service in this time and place, and to do what we can to make the birthing of the new world as painless as possible. Millions of us have committed to working on our personal spirital path to the best of their abilities. While we have as many paths as we have individuals, we have each moved way beyond the point of just giving lipservice to religion.

We are being asked nothing less than to offer our hearts and prayers, working inwardly and outwardly, as we are given; remaining calm in the face of chaos. It is from that quiet place within (which starts in faith, and ends as being) that we do our part to bring these times to a quick and gentle end.

What is coming is more wonderful than can be seen with the eye or imagined by the mind.

In the ONE heart there we are!

Tell me what you know of todays occurence and where we are at in our journey. I have worked hard to get where I am on this walk with understanding and wisdom. Now all the sudden I have this stream of bad luck, sorrow and no emotional control. This is not me so that draws me to the conclusion that I am missing something. I only know that I am writing to you for a reason and believe you have an answer for me. Thank you for your time.

Sentenio,

I believe that our bio-chemical makeup has a great deal to do with our ability to stay comfortably centered in the world. If we are not in that centered space, we are unable to do the work that we are here to do. As I read your comments about having no emotional control and being in a state that is not like yourself, I wondered if you have considered that your basic biochemistry may have changed recently? If so, have you looked into the alternative remedies that might help to counterbalance these types of changes?

You also mentioned a "string of bad luck". All of us go through these times, but I have found that events that I thought of as "bad luck" were often also the ones that led me to make major life changes that I would not have chosen voluntarily. Those changes have turned out to be the very best things that could have happened to me.

However, when we don't know the what outcome is to be, accepting the possiblity that everything will work out for our highest and best good is a very difficult thing to do. And yet, it must be done, in order to pass through the initiaton that this period of time offers and graduate to the next level.

Use whatever tools you have to fight the demons of despair and disbelief that would love to take over in these stretches. I know that you have developed many of these on your own in the past, but perhaps now is the time to begin to work with the idea of "time as a dimension of action".

As we become more conscious, we have a greater understanding of how it is that we work forward and backward in time and can access multiple possibilites from the point of now. In a quiet moment of meditation, pick a problem that has you stumped and ask the future self that has the solution to that problem at hand to activate in the linear timeline that you are experiencing. Then rest assured that the answer is out there waiting for you.

In a sense, you might imagine this as walking around a long curved path, and mee
