Take My Hand

It's 2:30 a.m., and for the second night in a row, I'm still wide awake. Oh, wait-I guess it's the second morning in a row! Ah, well... Why, when I'm physically and emotionally exhausted, am I unable to sleep? I decide to turn on the television for awhile. Maybe I can find something mindless to watch that will lull my mind to slumber.

Instead of mindless drivel, however, I learn that an massive earthquake and tsunami have hit Japan. At this hour, tsunami warnings have been issued for Hawaii and many nations in the Pacific. A tsunami watch has been issued for our West coast.

I'm feeling so many emotions now. Horror at the devastation and loss of life in Japan. Fear for others who have yet to feel the onslaught of tsunami. Sadness. My heart opens wide to enfold all those who will be affected by this catastrophe.

One might feel hopeless and helpless at a time like this. Yet I'm not feeling that at all. With an open heart, I know myself as connected and one with the people of the Pacific. This is not "their" disaster. It is ours. We will all be affected by this event. Reflecting on the last couple of weeks as Uranus continued to move through the last degrees of Pisces-such an emotional sign-in addition to the beginning of the Ninth Wave of Unity Consciousness, I am awed at how Mother Earth has provided us with a situation to know Unity.

Today, as the Mother shakes and quakes, as the waters rise in the Pacific, I reach out my hand. Please take it. Join me. We are humanity, all citizens of this wonderful planet. Let us raise our vibration as we extend love, light and hope to all beings. We truly are the Family of Light-let us now light up the planet and live in community with one another.

This is Magdelena's Legacy!

Namaste!

Being Human

There is a new series on Syfy channel called Being Human. I don't ordinarily watch original television shows on Syfy-they are just a bit too over-the-top for me. However, Being Human has been a pleasant surprise.

In a nutshell, it's about three roommates-a vampire, a werewolf, and a ghost-who want nothing more than to live a normal life and be, well, human. Both the vampire and the werewolf have reached a point in their lives as monsters where they are disenchanted with the lifestyle. They neither wish to harm humans-that is, kill and/or eat them-any longer. (The ghost, having made her transition only recently is just beginning to know and understand her powers.) Although there are some violent parts in these episodes, I've found the characters charming and delightful!

I can't help as I watch this series but reflect on how very human each of the characters is. Who among us hasn't been angry enough to suck the life force (or good feelings) out of another human being, or rip them to shreds, if not literally with fangs and claws, with our sharp tongues at some point in our lives? What do we do with those feelings when they arise? Surely most of us would never act on our literal thoughts of harm. Yet, if we're honest, I think most of us would admit that we've considered the prospect of doing harm to another at some point. Those feelings, uncomfortable as they are, are part of the human experience just as those feelings of ecstasy we feel in the arms of a lover.

We are entering an age when polar opposites will come together, when we understand that light doesn't exist without dark, good without evil. As we raise our vibration, the lines that before separated opposites from each other become blurred and begin to blend with each other. And we see that God, Goddess, Great Spirit, Prime Force-God as we understand him/her-is all of it. There was no monster with whom we needed to do battle. We are loved in our wholeness just as we are.

Namaste!
