A friend, "Victoria", recently crafted a poignant blog concerning the loss of faith and trust. I couldn't help but be moved to add my own dissertation as it moved me deeply and stirred-up long harboured but unexpressed beliefs.
The loss of these valuable traits began when man desecrated the cycle of life created by the deities that a spirit may wax, wane, transition and be reincarnated in it's natural progression.
We are now inundated by the unnatural extension of physical constraint to this world when karmic debts are paid, lessons are learned and yet the spirit is not allowed to move on.
This, in turn, has created incresingly hostile and unnatural vibrations that contaminate the ethosphere the world over, propagating animosity and distorting the connection that we all maintain with the energies that are God and Goddess which is what binds us.
The only thing that differentiates the initiated from the masses is realization. We have done nothing but use the same abilities of intuition that are inherent to all(with a touch of discipline) to penetrate the veil of misery and concentrate our thoughts and intentions toward bringing the people of the world back into alignment with the joy that we are all capable of experiencing.
