A conversation with Phillip, my Spirit Guide
Diana: Phillip, there is so much fear and anger in our world today. We are doing our best to counter it with love but it’s overwhelming. We feel we’re not doing enough, that we should be doing more but we’re exhausting ourselves. Help! We need your wisdom.
Phillip: The anger comes from fear. The human condition for many is to fear what may be around the next corner. These individuals are not yet able to take the hero or heroin’s journey. They have not yet had enough experience to know the perils are in part what make the journey an adventure.
This does not mean to say their lives lack adventure. It is to say they have chosen to stay in one setting along the journey. This also does not mean these individuals are without pain. Their pain may be quite deep but the fear of moving out of the wound is greater than the pain. The anger will continue as long as the fear remains.
Those who have walked through the fear have a different life experience. You, and those who work with you, have learned it is not about never experiencing fear but continuing the journey anyway. Your hearts have reached a point to where you must help those who are unable to face their wound, so they are unable to heal it, thus they stay locked in fear, and those they bring harm to.
It is not that you are to address every issue that touches your heart. It may not be your role to work on any specific issue. As you explore and learn of your soul’s mission you may learn your calling is to heal one issue, or you may learn your calling is to spend time in prayer and meditation. As you have written the world needs both warriors and peacemakers until neither are required for the world will then live in peace.
Spread yourselves not too thin for then you will harm yourself and accomplish little. In doing so, you add stress to the world when it is your heart’s intention to add peace.
As you learn more and more to live in love you will find the small acts of kindness you give away, the smiles and laughter you give to the world—these are the ways to override the pain caused by those who are in pain themselves. Every time you see beauty in the raindrop and feel the expression of a cloud, you are loving the world.
Do not set aside the good worth of what may seem a small jester—a donation, a prayer, a thank you. These are the ways of peace.
