Dear Johanna,
Blessings to you. I am sorry for the hardship and pain that I read here. Through these trials, both myself and others are the beneficiaries of your teaching and service. Those of us quietly walking this path, feeling at times we were the only ones going through these things know through your writings that indeed we were not. Our experiences may not be exactly the same, they are custom made for each of us, but the scenery on the journey is familiar and your words give expression to some things I had no words for.

The article you shared, "The Purpose of Silence", is a reassuring comfort for me, Im so glad you shared it. From time to time I've wondered if I was doing enough. If I listened to my mind the answer was, No.
I would still often find myself lost in the moments of the day. They seemed to just vanish. When walking outside I'd look down at the grass & see the earth breathing...life abounds and is teeming..life within life within life..things like this I have not experienced since I was a child. I am reminded in the silence it is enough to just be. Nothing more is required of me, other than to breathe in the moment and be.
I needed to read this article.

You wrote "this energy, unconscious to the one who carries it, with an intentional force of its own, has the capacity to instantly drain me, no matter what I seek to 'do' to alleviate it's presence, it has the capacity to go right to my heart chakra and drain the energy."

Johanna, I laughed out loud at the synchronicity of this writing because it has been 3 Sundays in a row just in time for the Gathering.."something" happens! I love reading Julie's teaching. It is especially eye opening when you can see others like yourself on the same path.

Thank you for sharing this & all you have shared today. Thank you so very much, dearest Johanna. With love and blessings, Meg

When there appears to be no way out of a situation,
it may be that the way out is through it.

Trust that the way will be found.

Once again I was tested with drama entering my energy field on a Wednesday.

What is different from weeks before today?

Greater amounts of rest and quiet time are creating space inside for chaos and drama to pass through a self experiencing more inner quiet. When there is greater noise within me, the chaos has a place to anchor itself, feed off of a 'like' chaotic energy within me.

Now, this state is far from perfect dear readers, I am distracted and having a difficult time focusing as a result of taking in another's chaos and drama. What I am celebrating as a new spiritual gateway of growth - is not feeling so overwhelmed and depleted by the chaotic energies.

Hurrah!

Well. I congratulated my self too soon. Once again, the energies of opposition worked through the unconsciousness of another and I found the energies so overwhelming that my body and consciousness became filled with the energies of stress and agitation. Uh!

Now dear readers, you may be saying to yourselves, what's the big deal, why such a fuss about someone being unconscious near her? If you are energetically sensitive, and seeking to surrender your heart as a bridge to the Light, then you will understand that the energies I speak of are intense and insidious. It is not the actions and the drama - it is the intensity of the oppositional energies which are using these unconscious actions and dramas as conduits.

No worries. I have the LIGHT with me and all the spiritual tools I need to move through these energies. By the Grace of God and all that is Beloved.

Blessings, dear Johanna and to all that will read today's teachings.

I thank you for today's powerful poster. It will be the focus of my meditation today and included in my tomorrows.

With gratitude and love, Meg
