In this time of exceedingly rapid evolution of consciousness, we experience often unexpected extremely challenging times, and also sudden states of expanded joyful realization. When we put both of these experiences in the context of the collective, of the Oneness, we find that knowing our participation in the healing of the planet in both the difficult and the joyful times takes on new meaning. And this knowing leads us, first, to take things less personally, and, second, to bring into awareness our willingness to help evolution along by welcoming the universal healing that comes with both the contractions and expansions. We will talk not only about attitudes that are helpful in these times, but also techniques for making our experiences support the common good.
