Can You Feel the Pressure?

We're moving closer to the Ascension, and the old ways aren't working. Livelihoods are dropping away. Things that once came easy now come with great struggle, if at all.

Yet as we look around, for some it appears that they are spared the pain and dislocation of having to watch their world crumble around their shoulders.

Why the disparity? Why are some seemingly on top of the world, while others are thrashing about, struggling mightily just to keep their heads above water?

I wish I could answer, but I can't. Maybe they're just better at the game than others. Or maybe their soul paths just don't require them to go through the turmoil -- at this time.

There's a whole cottage industry that's developed around telling the rest of us how good things can be if we just do this or think that. These self-help gurus don't struggle, do they? They sure don't let on like it if they do. Maybe it's because so many people are throwing money at them to make their pain go away.

I really hope you're part of the few for whom things are going great. Maybe you can be an inspiration to the rest for whom life is harder right now. And lend a helping hand when you feel the urge, because but for the grace of God the shoe might be on the other foot.

But if you're one of those being tested, my heart goes out to you. I know it's hard, and admire you for hanging in there and doing the best you can. As hard as it seems, this too shall pass and better days will come.
