Dear Universe:

What is the plan for life? What do you envision through this radical shift? What is it you truly want?

For most, this new reality is becoming a very uncomfortable mirror. It is reflecting back to us how lost we truly are; and how dependent we’ve become on our daily schedules, roles and distractions. In fact, how empty we truly live as a species. So what do we do with this new awareness? How can it help transform this global crisis? Are you listening to our confusions, and what is it you want from us?

We are not solely to blame for our dysfunctions for we as a society, were guided into this ill-valued life -form that we are trapped in. And now, we are expected to survive this radical change, which feels like a punishment, but for a crime we haven’t fully committed.

The leaders of our culture, from government to media to mass-institutionalized thinking, never prepared us for a different alternative. Only a few visionaries and creative thought leaders have spoken of a different type of life form; but only through a very soft and relatively concealed microphone.

And now many of them are speaking louder and saying “I told you so.” I told you that life could not sustain itself under conditions of ego, vanity and over-indulgence. “I told you we’ve been living on the wrong side of the human coin,” they say. And even now, through this aerosolized existential threat, people continue to choose self-destructive behaviors, such as smoking during a respiratory plague, and overeating disease-driven junk food during a worldwide health crisis. Most just don’t know how to access a healthier way. Self sabotage and self destructive behavior is yet another real underlying phenomenon of where we find ourselves today. And now, how do we get away from that?

For millennia we’ve lived with self-destructive behavior. For millennia, we’ve called our indulgences fun or an accepted escape in life. Well, if we’ve known there is something to escape, then we have had some instinctual understanding of our own deep dysfunctions. So again, what do we do now? Even with this knowledge, how can it help serve us? Is it too late? Is there a higher power in charge? And, if so, how can we best call upon it? Is it a Religious leader or higher power? Is it an energetic shift we seek….or an astrological issue? Is there a philosophical answer, or a behavioral solution that can lead us all through this?  What is ultimately at play and in charge?

Is “lockdown” the cure? Masks…isolation? From where will a true solution arise? Does the Government’s “task force” know the answer? Do our mayors and governors know? For they too have been part of the original malady.

I stare at the empty vast isolated ocean where underwater life is now free of all human activity. I see a big wide clear ocean that is confused as to what is going on.

Where do we go from here? What source do we tap in to individually and collectively? Who holds the switch to re-ignite life? What does life truly mean? And who does it belong to?
