I sat at my desk and images flowed through my mind of
the United States moving to action and the whole world
changing as this country goes to battle. But this is
not about glory or happiness or unhappiness or any
effect we may have on the current situation. This was
decided eons ago. What is more nOne of us have much
say in it really as long as we stay in our 3D lives
and fight each other. The fact that we wish no more
innocents to die will no more stop them dying than the
sun will cease to rise. I lived in South Africa for 14
years, then Ireland for another 14, right through the
Troubles. I knew people on both sides of that
conflict. I can say one thing as a result. It doesn´t
really matter what religion or nationality or age
those bodies on the street are after the bombs. It is
a tragedy of waste. I can still remember the day they
burned the British Embassy in Merrion Square. I worked
on the top floor of the building next door—in a
Georgian row house-38 Merrion Square. Somebody from
the mob outside tried to set our building on fire by
breaking one of the windows beside the front door in
our building and throwing a Molotov cocktail through
the gap. The cocktail bounced on the rug inside the
door just as I came down to collect the mail. I picked
it up and threw it back. Then I walked back upstairs
and suggested we leave the building…which we did, down
the fire escape at the back. I was 20 or 21. My father
is English and we lived in Southern Ireland for all
that time. We were threatened with being burned out of
our home when it got out that my dad was English etc.
etc. etc. Yet when I went up to Northern Ireland to
rock climb it was a British soldier's Tommy gun that
ended up six inches from my face at a road block
because the car I was in had Southern Irish plates. So
there is not a day that I am not grateful I live in
the USA, which for all its faults is still one of the
best places to live in the world.
Instead I see the outcome from this particular bit of
tragedy will be a much changed world—a mass
consciousness change that is part of the changeover
from the Piscean to the Aquarian age. Does that make
it easier? No. Does it stop suffering? No.
But I have taken one thing to heart from this. Least
any of us give up hope that any one human can make a
difference to the entire world by leadership and
example we have only to view the unbelievable
consequences of Osama Bin Laden deciding a decade or
so ago to wage a terrorist war against the United
States to see what a difference one person can make.
So from our lists and other lists and the electronic
network that connects us when we cannot feel the
Oneness that we really are, it´s truly time to put
aside any petty divisions. Instead I ask where is the
counterpart to the shadow cast over this planet by the
actions of terrorists. Where is the opposite of such a
shadow? It takes only One such person to start the
seed. Who? Time to stand up and take a bow
Love, Lesley
