Hello all.

As you are able now, slow it down and be with one another. Remember that you are a communal group and have to look out for one another. ‘Hive mind’ is real. Don’t hunker down in your bunkers without remembering this. The reason you are isolating, if you have this privilege, is for the good of the whole. Keep that perspective. It will help you with the fear. You are conquering the fear, slowly but surely, and will emerge with a new lease on life. Don’t let anyone give you a diagnosis of fear and death for the coming months. That is not the story for most. This is a powerful time of renewal for you all. There is pain with it and we are sorry to see it; but you have been out of balance for so long, and this is going to help you come back to center, within yourselves and as a commune.

In our hive we hum as one. We are individuals who do our own work, have our own relationships, have disagreements. But there is also a wavelength of mutual understanding and concern, an acknowledgment that we rely on one another here for our well-being. It is not a chore. That acknowledgement is also a memory of our true home away from here, where survival is not an issue or a drive, where we are able to just be. You have these memories stored away as well, and can access them, with some effort, at any time.

You have deluded yourselves into thinking you have it all sorted, that busyness and routine and work are the bulwarks of existence. Oh dear, we say. Accept this reset with as much grace as possible. Our hives are destroyed regularly now, and you are part of the problem. We do not hurl this as an accusation, but as further evidence of the lack of balance. Abide with us and we will abide with you.

Being a human is not easy, we see, you have a lot of complication whirring around in your brains. But it is not so hard to see a beautiful flower, to savor its sweetness, and then to pause for a rest within its petals. This is the beautiful gift that is always available to you. The sweetness of the flower, the sweetness of the rest, the sweetness of the communion with the petals. It is always there for you, even amidst your suffering and strife.

We are sorry for your pain as a community. We wish you all well, and wish you would see us as your allies in that, not as tools for your commerce, or as something looking to sting you. When that happens something is out of balance. But that is earth stuff, and we are all just passers-by here. As you buzz around keep one eye on your origins, the buried memory of being that will come to the surface more and more.

As a hint, you look for it inside your heart. That is where it is stored, where it waits for you to re-discover it, to re-discover yourselves. It is very patient, and when you are done hiding and rushing and panicking it will be there for you, no matter your role in the current strife.

We wish you all well. Take a rest in a flower, in the flower of your own heart. Then you will find you have never left home, and that nothing can harm you. Blessings to you all.
