The Energy of The Financial Meltdown
By Carole Lynne,
Author of Cosmic Connection: Messages for a Better World
We are in a time of financial crisis. People are anxious. People
are seeking solutions. People are scared. With all of this activity,
tremendous bursts of energy are being expended, some positive but
mostly negative.
But the energy that we project into the cosmos is not an isolated
event. Your energy and my energy either merge or conflict. All of the
negative energy that is coming from you and from me and from everyone
else from our anxiety, only increases the negative energy in the cosmos
and that reduces the likelihood of us finding solutions for a better
world.
Right now both positive and negative energies are being sent out.
Which energy stream do you want to contribute to?
The News: On or Off?
Do you want to turn off the news about the financial crisis? Would you
feel happier if you did not listen to the news each day? Are the
stressful news reports about the economy, global warming and wars,
causing you to become a nervous wreck or do you feel inspired to try to
make changes in the world?
When you watch the news are you likely to ruin your own day and the day
of your loved ones? What does your pulse tell you about your reactions
to the news? Is your pulse racing with anxiety or is your heart beating
at a comfortable and healthy rate? Are you sending positive or negative
energy into the cosmos?
Learn How to Watch the News
Watch the news enough -- but not too much! If we stick our heads
in the sand or run to the hills to avoid bad news, then we cannot make
informed decisions. If we need to make personal decisions about a
crisis in the world, do we really want to act like sheep following the
opinions of others, or do we want to think for ourselves? We have
to stay informed by watching the news and by continuing to be informed
about our personal financial affairs.
In the current financial crisis, there are people who are not managing
their money well because they can't stand looking at their financial
statements. One woman in her early sixties has not looked at her
financial statements since the economic meltdown in the fall of
2008. "I don't want to know how much I have lost" she says.
Meanwhile, as she keeps her head in the sand she is missing the
opportunity to make adjustments in the investments that she needs to
support herself as she gets older.
Another person, a young man, was about to give all of his money over to
a money management company that when looked at closely, was going to
take advantage of his panic and run with his money. This man almost
signed papers that would have caused disaster in his life, because he
wanted to be out of the emotional pain he felt as he looked at his
credit card bills. He wanted to stick his head in the sand and sign
papers without really investigating the company that was about to rip
him off.
When we hide from our problems the results are ultimately negative, and
more negative energy is created which is sent out into the cosmos.
We must not hide from the news and information that although painful,
we need to hear.
On the other hand . . .
When it comes to news, pick and choose!
When you are more aware of what Anderson Cooper is wearing today than
your significant other, you have a problem. If you find yourself
checking the news ten times a day, you may be on the brink of
developing a news obsession. Choose the news you are going to pay
attention to. Select a newspaper, television broadcast or internet news
site. Perhaps you would like to choose one liberal news source and one
conservative news source so that you can hopefully get a more balanced
view of the news. Do not read seven papers, watch six shows and
check the news online all day long!
When you are more aware of the news headlines than the stars in the
sky, you are out of balance.
Consider that the mountains do not know whether the stock market is
going up or down. The ocean does not know if you can pay off your
credit card dept or not. The sky does not know the daily news. No
matter what is happening in the material world that human beings have
created, the natural world is there to enjoy and heal us if we will
only give nature equal time with the news broadcasts.
Create the Best News with your Energy
Each and every one of us is part of the cosmic whole and at the
same time, each one of us is an individual. During this time of
worldwide financial crisis, every time an individual among us panics
and sends out distress signals, stressful energy is sent around the
world and out into the cosmos. Every time one of us believes in the
future and sees our current world problems as a huge wakeup call to the
world, and makes a decision to do things to help the world, positive
energy is sent around the world and out into the cosmos.
We are all connected to each other by what I call the Cosmic
Connection. Each individual connects to the Divine and to every other
living form through the energetic cosmic dimension. The energy of each
individual affects the energetic whole of the universe.
Again, let us contemplate: Right now
both positive and negative energies are being sent out. Which energy
stream do you want to contribute to?
Of course times are hard financially and people in need must be helped.
But this is not the first time in history that we have had a financial
crisis or the last time. Perhaps as we feel the financial pinch
we will develop more compassion for those who have been dying of
starvation for years and years. Perhaps our world needs this
financial crisis in order to develop better values. What do we
really need to buy? More things to make us look good, or do we need to
take a good look at ourselves and the ways we need to take care of our
world and take care of each other?
Let us calm down. Let us take the bitter news and transform it.
Like your mother told you "when you get lemons make lemonade."
Let us take the financial meltdown and create visions of golden lives
for everyone in the world.
