We get triggered all the time, whether in our private lives, professional lives, or by world events and we think that this shouldn’t be, that if only it wasn’t for them, we would be peaceful and content; why do others always get in the way of us feeling good?

Those triggers are there for a purpose, to make us pay attention. Pay attention to what is happening in you when you see a horrific event, or hear of a disaster, or someone is just being unkind.

Nothing happens that was not meant to happen – and we have no control over what happens. What is most important however, is not what happens, it’s how we respond to it.

We did not create the event, nor can we change it. It is as it is. What we can change is what happens next: our response to that event. The usual reaction to something “bad” is resistance, anger, retaliation, sadness, even violence sometimes. We have been reacting in that way for thousands of years, and have things become any better? On the contrary, from fighting with sticks and stones we graduated to bigger and better and more destructive weapons as time went on.

And the acceleration, the amplification we are seeing and feeling now is showing us, in no uncertain way that unless we become aware at a much deeper level than previously of what is really happening, there will be no letting up of negativity. And what is really happening is an urgent call for us to become more aware of our spiritual nature. The new 5-D world which is emerging will not let our lower nature, 3-D consciousness to operate any longer.

When triggered, we must become aware of our feelings and change them before they are expressed into the physical world. We must become aware that we are Spirit and that our response must be that of Spirit. We must become aware that our lower nature feelings must be transcended and transmuted to align with the higher nature of Spirit.

All the trauma and drama we are witnessing is being pushed into visibility on purpose, so that we become aware of the feelings it stirs up in us, which are not those of Spirit.

It’s OK to be temporarily taken off center by a horrific event. That has been our habit for centuries, but now it must be changed. 5-D reality demands our awareness of being Divinity, and our response as Divinity.

Become aware of the power you hold as Divinity. There is nothing to oppose it, nothing to overcome it, but it is not enough to know divinity is present. It must be consciously drawn through a human being to be effective in the world. So in this new paradigm, this new world that is being born, as soon as you are triggered you stop, become aware of who you are, connect to your higher nature, ask for its Violet Flame of transmutation to flood the situation, then connect with your intuition to know the best course of action.

Every trigger is intended to reveal to you more of the scope of who you really are, and each time you become aware and act in accordance with your higher nature, a little piece of your lower nature is dissolved. That is our sacred responsibility as expressions of Spirit.

Everything that happens is for the highest good of everyone concerned, regardless of how it appears. Your awareness and your response is what really matters.
