In Victoria, Australia, where I live, it has been a time of deep sadness with devastating bush fires causing massive loss of life and property. Nearly everyone I know has been personally touched in some way, either through losing a family member, friend, colleague or hearing of the loss of home or property of someone they know.
I can only wonder how I would cope if faced with such circumstances.
Loss affects us all in different ways. The quality that comes to my mind in facing and making meaning out of massive loss is courage.
Some people will have the courage to rebuild and re-create what has been lost. Others will have the courage to take a new look at what has happened and visualize the creation of something different in its place. Others will have the courage to just let go the emotional ties to the past and tread a different road. The loss of loved ones can never be replaced.
It's not always easy to summon up courage!
Courage is recognised as one of the attributes of mastery in the EMF Balancing Technique. EMF stands for ElectroMagnetic Field and the EMF Balancing Technique is a way of working with a person's electromagnetic field to facilitate balance and greater access to the person's inner resources of wisdom, strength and peace.
The practice of courage is associated with the expression of Infinite Love.
Some of the other attributes associated with Infinite Love include Openness, Sincerity, Honesty, Transformation, Forgiveness and Humour.
Whoever we are and wherever we are, we can all use courage and the power of Love.
There can be no doubt that the response to the bush fire catastrophe has unleashed unprecedented love and compassion not only from the people of Victoria but from all of Australia and around the world. Many people have had an experience of oneness and unity with their fellow human beings.
We are in an age when science is expanding to encompass esoteric wisdom and esoteric wisdom is finding expression in scientific research and theory. Is it too much to believe that within each of us is the power of Infinite Love and the capacity for Courage?
In conclusion, there are many times in life when it's perfectly OK for us not to be happy. But in acknowledging sadness and grief and mourning our losses, we can have the courage to sit with our loss and grief and unhappiness and not try to push it away out of sight. 'This too shall pass'. And when the immediate sharpness and bitterness of loss begins to subside, we can have the courage to forgive ourselves and be open to inviting a measure of happiness once again.
