Is the Coronavirus a Wake-Up Call?

By Dan Eisner

I think we are starting to listen now. 

God, The Universe, Mother Earth (whatever language works best for you) has been trying to warn, but we haven’t been listening. These warnings have been coming in the form of horrific world events on increasing frequency and devastation.

Unjust wars, 9/11, mass shootings, hate rally’s, and what’s more evident than ever, an unbelievably corrupt political system. All wake up calls that haven’t done the trick.

I think these tragic world events cause the masses, to actually stop, at least for a moment. I think they cause us to remember our common bond and sense of humanity we all share. However, it usually doesn’t last long before we are back to business as usual.

But, I think this time is different. We’ve never had something that is so close to home and inclusive, literally impacting everyone on the planet.

The common bond and effect on one another is becoming impossible to deny.

I think Mother Earth has been trying to warn us, but we haven’t heeded her messages. So, she had to pull out her biggest “gun” in the form of a global pandemic.

I think the CV is a manifestation of the virus within our consciousness. That virus is belief in separation run by fear and a win/lose mentality.

It’s not working, it never has. It’s “worked” for those of us (including myself) who are generally healthy and more financially fortunate, but it’s left out the vast majority of individuals who cannot afford adequate healthcare, shelter, and often don’t even know if they will have enough food to eat.

This is certainly new for me. Never in my life have I ever even considered the possibility of not having enough food to eat, let alone enough TP to clean my mess (had to throw that in there).

Honestly, I’m not that concerned now, but I am very humbled.
This is waking me up to the fact that lacking the most basic needs is a living reality for so many people on our planet.

Bruce Lipton teaches that there are 70 trillion cells in the human body, and they all need each other for their own survival. The same is true for us – we are all each a “cell” in the greater universe. We need each other, perhaps more than ever.

I think we’re being forced to take a look at the truth of this wisdom.

I think this is uncomfortable, but necessary.

I think this is a global invitation for each and everyone of us to get honest and real with ourselves and our world.

We are connected.

We do impact one another.

We all have the responsibility to do the best we can to have a positive impact on our shared world.

Despite current circumstances, I’m inspired and believe we are in the midst of a Worldwide Bilolgical Upgrade. I believe we are going to come out on the other side better for this experience.

But that requires us ALL to do our best to take a deeper look inside. 

Have we ever been gifted with a better time or opportunity to do so?
