A dear elder I know sent a ‘Message from the Corona Virus’ that was circulating around the web in early March. I skimmed, getting the gist. It’s been sitting on my desktop for two months now.
I opened and read it again just now, now that the initial shock of the radical, jolting shift in reality for human beings over the entire world has mellowed a bit. I read the message again — this time more slowly.
As I read, I felt my heart begin to glow. My heart hasn’t been glowing recently. I am not afraid, but uncertainty and weird grief has put me into some dead-end box where I haven’t been able to access hope. I realize this is because hope is connected to future. And right now, I don’t have a sense of future.
I know this too shall pass. Everything does. My life passes. Some day, I won’t be here anymore, to smell new growing grass and feel crisp early spring winds on my face.
I hope I live to be very old. I hope I’ll look back on this time and my heart will glow, as I’ll then be able to see the bigger picture. And I’ll maybe re-read this ‘Message from the Corona Virus’ again, and smile a wrinkled-eyed smile.
A Message from the Coronavirus
Posted on March 10, 2020 by Jeff Vander Clute
There has been a lot of talk about the Coronavirus. When I connected with this novel life form and asked it to tell me about itself, what came through was a list of its top gifts, followed by a message for humanity. I was somewhat surprised, and also comforted, by the information. My hope is that these words will help people to relax and trust that life is acting with benevolent wisdom.
The gifts of the virus:
Slowing down humanity’s frenetic activities
Activating networks of cooperation
Spreading helpful DNA
Upgrading humanity’s immune system
Creating the conditions for peace and well-being
Saving lives, especially over the long term, by strengthening the web of life
Here is the message for humanity, from the Coronavirus:
My friends, it is true that I am here to bring closure to the inharmonious ways of being that are causing harm to humans and the whole web of life. All the same, I am not a vengeful being or anything that is intended to be destructive. I am simply the rebalancing agent in the overall equation of life’s evolutionary process. By fighting me with fear in your hearts, you oppose the larger natural systems and cause me to take other forms.
What I am, and my fundamental purpose, will not be deterred, for I am life itself acting through the available forms of distribution. The virus that you see me as is one of an endless series of permutations. This kind of process is one of the ways I innovate life forms and deliver new DNA sequences that will eventually be shown to be helpful. The back and forth between humanity’s collective immune system and the virus is raising consciousness as humans examine their interactions, and it is literally increasing the intelligence of the superorganism that is the species as a whole.
These tests are normal. I repeat: These tests are normal. For those who can hear this message and embrace me easily, you already know that fear is a much more lethal poison. For those who will not be comforted by these words, one day you will know that I come as an act of love. When you can open to the love that is at the very heart of this situation, the crisis that your media and governments decry will transform into a flower of life, spreading new consciousness and multiplying circles of cooperation. Pay attention to your thoughts and see if you can identify the benefits of redirecting humanity’s attention from incessant wars and violence to the common “enemy” that I am willing to be perceived as.
Love will go this far, and farther, to bring healing to the mind of a young species that is still in the process of remembering itself as a divine incarnation. Yes, you are a divine incarnation capable of fabricating realities based on goodness and beauty and compassionate understandings, actions, and beliefs. Believe me when I say that I, too, am here as an act of compassion. Accepting me in this way will lighten your heavy burden for the divine sends only love your way. Sometimes this love takes curious forms in order to circumvent your intricate defenses against waking up to your own glory. I can assure you that the most functional strategy will be to embrace me as a friend of the human family.
And a bedtime treat for when you need a good story to live by:
