Energy affects

Tuesday, while I was out with my mother looking at cars, I experienced an Energy Effect; best way I can explain it. It was the same afternoon when the verdict in the Casey Anthony case was announced, and many outside the courthouse and elsewhere, railed against the verdict with passion. As shown on the national news channels, many were thrown off balance by a verdict that wasn't even thought possible. The media convicted Casey Anthony long ago and the viewer were well prepared for the guilty verdict. Then it didn't come. And the sense of a system broken, perhaps betrayal or mistrust overwhelmed those who had put such focus on this case, seeking their programmed form of justice.

The same afternoon, I was helping my mother find a car to replace the one she lost to a flash flood recently. She set her criteria and we started the online and on foot search to meet that criteria. She wanted something less than five years old, with under 40K miles in her price range of under $19K. I helped her find some candidates and we set out to review them.

Then we can to the BMW dealer (the same one we had purchased the BMW that sank) and our former salesman guided her to "one I want to you test drive before we talk about it, we just got this in." We did and it was a 2003 with 112K miles and seemed old. When we returned we made sure he understood it didn't fit our criteria, and he had one more within our price range in the detail shop, which he was reluctant to show but would for his long time customers.

I decided to stay in the waiting room, sure this 2003 BMW wagon would not fit the bill and it was a waste of time. But she humored him and went to see it. She returned to tell me she was buying this one and we didn't need to go to a somewhat distant town to view one that fit our criteria totally.

I felt much like those who stood outside the Orange County Courthouse. Dumbfounded. Betrayed. Certainly off balance. Unlike them, I started immediately to know that there was something good in my situation and since I had just said my short prayer or affirmation, then I needed to trust Spirit was in charge. But this didn't keep me from letting some of my disbelief from shinning through, and mother, with whom I have always been close, soon picked up on my feelings. "Shouldn't you test drive it? Why pay that much for a car soon to be 10 years old (even though it was a BMW; I drive a BMW that is close to 20 years in age)." So I started a war inside working on trusting, then expressing some other statement of disbelief. By the next day, we could talk about it and Mother and I came to an understand, she went to the dealer to test drive the car, and I accepted her decision to purchase it.

How much of my burst of disbelief was coming from my own situation, and how much was I tapping into from the global consciousness as people around the world discovered the media had focused on the wrong verdict? How many events in our day-to-day life is influenced by a greater energy? Maybe I am just developing through my own work to do so, but it seems to me many of us are more connected to this global energy and are affected by it.

If this is true it ever so important for all who are aware of a global energy, to work with it, send love and peace and harmony through it and be aware in their own situation that maybe something more than the immediate place and event is are influencing their emotions and actions. Certainly working with the Global Consciousness Project or using the emWave2 device to train our heart coherence at this time is good. But perhaps just as good is simply knowing that whatever the unexpected news or event, affirm, "Something Good is coming from this for me, and I accept it now."
