The following was received in
meditation through the grace of Lord Shiva by Nafeeah Kim Johnson as
a New Year’s Message.
Now is the time to use every useful
spiritual tool ever given to you. We are advised to be regular and
devoted in our spiritual practices. Prepare to sustain yourself as
if to find your way through an ascending labyrinth of rapid
evolution. This will not happen in one season or one year.
Strengthen your body’s health to face increasing challenges. Do not
tax your physical system. It will be increasingly harder to recover
from fatigue for a time as global energy patterns realign. Do not be
dismayed or grief stricken as you see many fine and noble souls
leave this world early or unexpectedly. They are urgently needed in
other realms. Nurture and protect your young in every way you can,
especially protect them from attitudes of despondency and
hopelessness. There is much they will be called on to do if their
hearts remain clear and focused.
As this epoch of time draws to a
close, Shiva has taken position to begin his Dance of the
Destruction of Ignorance. Around the globe, systems of governance
that are domineering, evil and overgrown will be dismantled.
Institutions that are stale and heartless will be adjourned.
Structures that are decaying will collapse upon themselves. Although
there are many prophecies and predictions, even those abiding in
angelic realms do not know how events will unfold. Karmic sequence
and lines of destiny are constantly being restructured
moment-by-moment as new choices are being made within the hearts of
humans.
The crucial choice is for a new
relationship with the Divine. Life on earth is changing. The gates
between Heaven and Earth are being flung open. Every altar can give
the presence of God. Every prayer can be answered before it is
offered. God is asking for a new partnership. Placed together like
spokes in a wheel with a common axis, this can be the integration of
the Human and
the Divine.
