RELIEF
By Ginger Grancagnolo

Relief! We need relief! But how, when, or what kind of relief would be sufficient. Perhaps an appropriate definition for the word relief is the removal or lightening of something oppressive, painful, or distressing. We all need some kind of relief. Our present days are filled with national and global cries for relief. Campaigns are flooding the media in desperate attempts to send relief to victims of the Asian disaster, war tragedies, and unprecedented weather abnormalities that have altered essential living needs such as clean water, shelter, and first aid.

Suffering, weeping, and dying appear to have become major parallel priorities alongside our fear of terrorism.

Are the cards stacked against us? Are we caught in an unchangeable domino of destruction? ABSOLUTELY NOT!! Our world, our lives for that matter, is not turned upside down, but rather inside out.

For several decades Mother Earth has been answering the prayer of Her Light worker earthlings. Since the sixties, humanity has persistently turned more inward for peace, wisdom, grounding and healing. We have made a revolutionary shift. Those who are committed to the Divine Lover truly know and trust that the Power to be or do anything is ONLY on the inside. We are certain unless we go "within," we will go "without."

Slowly and steadily this anchored Truth has changed us. We have released old patterns of fear, social distortions, family falsehoods rooted in false authority, and the biggest illusion that Spirit and matter are separate. We have changed. We have healed our past. We have let go, and now our Earth, who is a functioning living organism, is doing the same.

MOTHER EARTH

Mother Earth is shedding the buried wounds and carnage by the falsehoods of violence, have and have nots, illusory freedom, and enslavement of the human spirit. We have prayed for the drastic changes, and the Priestess Gaia has answered. Like all true transformation, it must be from the depths in order to be complete. From the core of Her belly, Mother Earth has responded. The Tsunami and all other devastations we have recently experienced have pushed the world into responding collectively and compassionately. This is a miracle, long awaited. This Divine participation to serve those in need everywhere is finally reflecting our core soul, which is naturally loving and giving. At last, we are acting in global humanitarian consciousness and without a political mandate.

TO GIVE AND TO HEAL

We are choosing it! We have recognized that to listen to our heart is what heals! Now we, the microcosm, will influence and bring back to balance the macrocosm. We need to keep giving without reservations. We need to give our tithing, our patience, and our embraces endlessly. As we open up, our Creator will finally have a river through which to flow, and not just a tiny trickle of a stream. Our prayer needs to be "Let it flow Lord! Let Your loving abundance flow."

In the humble outcry we will witness our own personal relief. Whatever we may be in need of, we can now just simply ask, "Through Your Divine Grace, Oh Holy One, fill my every void. Let us be Your blessed vessels, so that all Your children can be satisfied." Our individual restoration and revitalization will be felt, as we draw closer to a deep understanding that we have been called to be a part of the greatest healing humanity has ever known. We have been called to help heal the Earth from inside out. As we continue to do this in our selves, others will benefit, and then we will know the Divine Truth. Yes, these are the times that try our souls because this is the time to willfully create Heaven on earth every day, in small ways and in great ways, for always!
