What I remember about Sept 11th, 2001, is turning the computer on and AOL flashing a photo, and me clicking on it. I briefly watched the news, then began sitting in prayer for those involved. The next few days were updates and stories from those who would typically be in the World Trade Center at that time, and how they were guided to be elsewhere. A child’s artwork (wish I could find it online, I cannot) depicted the World Trade Center in fire and smoke, with many angels flying upward, representing those who died. I contemplated those who died and thanked them for their part in this co-creation. On some level, they chose to die in this way, when you consider that we choose our life circumstances before we incarnate into each lifetime. When you consider that we have endless lifetimes to create whatever we wish, that there is no death.
Death is living a life where you’ve ceased to have your interest stimulated. The Universe, in its infinite wisdom, knows you’d be much happier if you did a little inner reflection about your judgments, your motives and behaviors, so it’ll give you a happening that rocks your world. Apparently on Sept 11th, 2001, the Universe aka God, thought a whole lot of people needing some shaking up, hence the internationally televised en masse event, a joint lesson to everyone who was touched by it. To me, the interest lies in the fact that many people survived the event by being guided elsewhere. That when we can tune into our inner guidance, we can be deflected from dangers and such.
We can choose to begin taking time each day to sit still with ourself and go within, to listen for inner guidance. Because once we’ve tapped in to that, we fear nothing. Or, if we fear it, we know that we’re strong enough to survive it, that as we listen to inner guidance every step of the way in a crisis, we’ll be guided step by step how to navigate it. One key is to sit quietly with yourself for an hour or more a day and begin focusing on your breathing. Do a series of deep and slow cleansing breaths. Slow, deep breathe in, and slow relaxed exhale. If you’ve had a stressful day, breathe it away. If your heart is broken or your mother dries you crazy or you judge anyone for anything, breathe it away, day by day. This clears the way to inner guidance. This stabilizes the emotions. This attracts insights and revelations you can use in your daily life. Just like the World Trade Center people who were guided to call in sick, or who were late for work, they found themselves where they would not typically be — and out of harm’s way.
