Earlier this week,\u00a0Domino<\/a> called and asked if I could ask a mutual friend to not delete the post he made on her Facebook wall. \u00a0His post said, “Hi Weather warriors, it’s that time again. There’s a huge storm about 700 miles off of Miami. We need all to pray\/visualize\/ meditate and send energy to this storm. \u00a0Firstly, to keep it on a trajectory heading straight to the Atlantic in a northeast direction. \u00a0Secondly, we can send loving\/compassionate energy to it so it can break up and become a smaller storm. \u00a0We need to get to work<\/em>.” \u00a0 He made the same post on my wall. \u00a0I left it for 24 hours then deleted it. \u00a0I didn’t know there was a storm until I saw his post. \u00a0When I went to delete it, I didn’t get the sense there was anything to worry about. \u00a0I checked the National Hurricane Center <\/a>site satellite radar and saw the projection and forecast, noted the moon cycle and still got the sense it was nothing to worry about. \u00a0I told him so and told him I understood our mutual friend not wanting him to post on her wall. \u00a0I was surprised when Domino lashed out at me, sounding really angry.<\/p>\n

He was \u00a0basically arguing that I have an obligation as a spiritual messenger <\/em>to let everyone on my Facebook wall know there\u2019s a tropical depression forming off Bermuda and that we should all pray for it to move northeast. \u00a0 He said he was being a divine warrior and asked \u201care you telling me you don\u2019t believe in the power of prayer and that the more people we can get to pray about something, the better chance we have of moving it?<\/em>\u201d \u00a0I didn\u2019t think that was the issue. \u00a0I do believe prayer works. \u00a0To me, the issue was: \u00a0I didn\u2019t know there was a storm until I saw his post. \u00a0When I went to delete it, I didn\u2019t get the sense there was anything to worry about. \u00a0I checked the National Hurricane Center site satellite radar and saw the projection and forecast, and still got the sense it was nothing to worry about. \u00a0To me that meant, no need to share this. \u00a0For past storms, some came to my attention and gave me the impression we could use some prayers to calm the fears of the people and for those I made blog posts.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t think people need to be scared to death over something they may not otherwise know about. \u00a0I didn\u2019t know about it until he put it on my FB wall. \u00a0He was divinely guided to do so. \u00a0I was divinely guided to remove it. \u00a0He was guided to call me \u00a0and tell me what a slacker I was being.<\/p>\n

To me, the issue was: \u00a0 It’s something I intuitively feel is of no threat and \u00a0I don\u2019t want to ask my thousands of Facebook friends to give their attention to a storm and get all worried about it when it will be over before we know it if we leave it alone, and leave it to God and Nature.<\/p>\n

Letting everyone know there was a storm out there may tend to scare a lot more people than not, so they would be adding their fearful thoughts into the mix. \u00a0Not meaning to, of course,<\/em> wanting to help, but not having that place in consciousness that lets them add a healing thought of the storm dissipating and moving offshore. \u00a0If the thoughts they’d add would be fearful thoughts, why bring it to their attention?<\/p>\n

It’s like with most healing, we see someone has something wrong with them and they need fixing. \u00a0 We pray for their limb to mend, their pain to subside and their eye to see. \u00a0We pray to heal what we see as lack and limitation. \u00a0 And yes there is much healing power in prayer, although we don’t understand the mechanism behind it.<\/p>\n

But what I know from experience is that the healing consciousness is the consciousness that sees the lack and limitation as transitory and not of much consequence given the overall picture. \u00a0That is the healing thought. <\/em> And 3 people able to hold that thought are more powerful than 3,000 with unfocused thought and drifting emotions.<\/p>\n

So no, it’s not that I didn’t support Domino in his campaign to pray away a storm, it’s that he’s a passionate man and he has bigger fish to fry than a storm that holds no threat according to my spidey sense and brief knowledge of weather systems and how the moon cycles relate to storm patterns.<\/p>\n

It’s not that I don’t believe prayer helps heal a situation, my issue was thinking the situation did not need healing in the form of me posting on my Facebook wall about it. Domino proceeded to call me out for not doing my spiritual duty, sounding angry but I can’t say if he was, I’ve never heard him angry before. \u00a0 He made a remark about how I thought it was more important to sleep<\/em> than rally my Facebook friends for his cause. \u00a0I thought that was odd since I’ve known him 20 years and he knows my afternoon sleep is my main sleep since I work overnight. \u00a0He made an angry remark that\u00a0I’m only focused on business<\/em>, which, again, he’s known me 20 years. \u00a0At this point he was just saying things to be mean, so we ended the conversation and cancelled plans we had for the next day. \u00a0He’s usually a reasonable and tuned in guy that I count as a soul mate in this lifetime. \u00a0Yep, and we don’t always get along with our soul mates if we move it out of Facebook. \u00a0LOL \u00a0 Domino right after the phone call posted on my page for me to don’t worry, be happy and breathe. \u00a0 Ya gotta laugh. \u00a0 We teach what we need to learn.<\/p>\n
