Your welcome Spooky and Alysia. And thank you for your kind words.

Yes, we do need to face our fear when we’re confronted with it and not let it stop us from living our life to the fullest and with gusto! I like the way you say this Alysia. To square off with it.
I’m always amazed at how sneaky I can be when it comes to covering up my fear, which is really just an excuse for covering up some sort of pain (imagined or not) that I don’t want to face or feel. My first clue is usually when I start to create resistance about something. It might be that I have a fear about it or maybe a need that I’m not paying attention to, but whatever it is when I feel a resistance about it I know I need to take a look at my beliefs to see if I’m creating any cross purposes that are getting in my way and come to an understanding about it. And then do something about it. These past few years have been difficult ones where life has thrown one curve after another. Hard to keep up sometimes. lol

Believing that we are not given more than we can handle and that each trial we go through makes us stronger helps tremendously. We are never alone. Help to overcome our fearful patterns is always available from God and our higher self and comes to us when we ask for it. The diseases we create with these patterns may not be cured, but our spirits can be healed in the process.
Yes, I agree that a shift in consciousness is what is happening. I also think it’s more than this. It seems that spiritual experiences such as NDE and those that occur during meditation are actually changing the physiology of our brains. What I see happening is our world order being challenged in many ways. The chaos this brings will probably continue, yet at the same time I see more and more people having spiritual experiences convincing enough to help them change their beliefs about who we really are.
And if our physiology is changed as well then evolution as Atwater indicates, will probably continue at a faster rate than what we’ve considered normal in the past. All of us, not only here on this forum, but everywhere people are talking about their spiritual experiences, verifying them, confirming them within their own consciousness. I guess you could say we are all bell ringers drawing attention to these things.
Love, Kathy
