The World Has Come to a Halt

Dear All,
The world has come to a HALT! And HALT it should! A little invisible virulent virus has left us paralyzed with alarm! Human emotions are careening between dread and fear. It’s not about this country or that country. It’s about the whole planet now.
On a global level, the whole situation has inspired human spirit to work together and connect with people as humans. But it has left it me pensive and pondering on a personal level. I have a positive premonition about this negative vibration! A virus in disguise is in all probability, a conspiracy of the universe to awaken man to the truth of his life. Although, technically advanced, connected and successful, our life still doesn’t flourish, it merely exists!
A sudden shift in energy has enforced an eerie isolation in the world. I consider this confinement a blessing, a benediction and a means of soul rejuvenation! A scaffold to climb and listen to the deep message the universe has for each and every individual. Every person is a microcosm of the universe. If he mends himself the world will be repaired.
It’s time to stop and reflect who you are on a soul level. We need to change our perspective about life. Something’s gone amiss and needs to be fixed. When in isolation, don’t blind yourself to the situation. Understand its truth. Something’s got off balance, find your balance, your alignment. Dig deeper into yourself. Reconnect and reestablish with a sincere commitment.
We have carried a lot of weight for some time. we need to relinquish our baggage, learn our lessons and reinvent our self. We need to clear up our act and draw a line under dead stories. Open up our heart’s space and connect with feelings. It’s time to acknowledge, appreciate what and who is important in our lives. We are afraid of losing what we value the most and we don’t allow love into our life. We need to open our hearts, irrespective of the fact that it makes you vulnerable, because it is in our heart of hearts we know where we stand.
We have been badly hit by the Pendulum. Its recuperation takes time. Utilize this time to uncoil your twisted and bonded ego. Stop being cold, callous and insensitive to others and gravitate back to each other.
The drama of life has been muted for a while. It hasn’t finished. It is for us to calm down, silence our minds and sit with a “finger on your lips” to see how the frailty and enigma of human nature unravels. And realize the truth about who we are and what have we become.
An unseen change has been initiated to remind us the role of Fate and Prayer in our life. Nothing in human experience is black and white. It takes a moment to change everything into nothing and nothing into everything. THIS TOO SHALL PASS…, and by the time it’s done, I pray and wish that this cosmic viral stretch should help us find our self in whatever havoc is going on in life. Every beginning has an end and every end has a beginning. This should be taken as a precursor to a new beginning in all aspects.
When we come out of our isolation, I hope the love that we rekindle in ourselves for fellow human beings will burn away the remnants of the terror of this little virus! And our hearts shall happily beat a funeral dirge for a deceased microbe! And we shall await, a new beginning, with a clarity of thought, confidence, gratefulness, and kindness. A corona infused energy replaced by a nurturing, caring and loving one. Fresh and aglow after a spiritual lesson , we shall immerse ourselves in a newly incarnated flow, and honor our self, our legacy and our history by being remembered as HUMANS OF A CORONA CLEANSED COSMOS!
With Love,
Humera Sultana
