[I channeled this just after we lost a close family member, and while the passing came suddenly, it was not altogether unexpected. – Rob]
Rob: Time for a little compassion, I think. Huh. I am I’m not seeing [Quan Yin] as I usually do, where she comes in on the dragon; she’s in the garden where I usually meet Lao Tzu, [where it’s] much more calm and peaceful. So we’re taking our seat on the bench by the pond — a stone bench.
So, thank you, Quan Yin, for joining me. I kind of have a lot running through my head right now, but it makes a lot of sense to me that you would come talk to me, being the Goddess of Compassion and all. Anyway, I will turn it over to you. What do you have to share with us today?
Quan Yin: Greetings, dear Rob … and a fine hello to Jennifer and Jo Ann, as well.
Yes, I just wanted to stop in to express my condolences to you and your family. You are handling that oh so well, and you truly are being that lighthouse for the rest of the family, showing them that death need not be a time of sadness. Yes, of course, the family will miss a member, but as you pointed out yesterday [in my Celebration of Life speech], Steve is always here. He will always be with you, and, of course, you are welcome to have a conversation with him at any time. So trust that the family heard you, and they are taking advantage of that thought, of that truth. So yes, it’ll take a while to get beyond the point of feeling that loss, but as you well know, that all comes in time.
And at the same time, you find yourself in this position of wondering what is happening in the world. There is so much going on. There are indications that the plan is moving forward, that we are coming quickly to a point of culmination. It’ll be a while yet — revelations of truth will come forward, bit by bit, slowly. This plan is built such that the greatest number of people will wake up in their own time.
Your job, and I think you know this very well, is to simply be the lighthouse to shine your light to others while the storm is brewing around you, just blowing wildly. And anyone caught in that storm is questioning where to go, how to proceed. Where is that place of safety?
Just beam your light. Show them what calmness in the face of the storm, what that looks like, what that feels like. It’s not your job to advocate what is truth, no matter what others are saying. Just show them what peace looks like, the way to peace, the way to calm, the way to safety.
If others ask what you believe, what your version of truth is, then, by all means, tell them. [But] whether they accept it or not, it’s really not your concern. Express your truth. Be at peace. Do it lovingly. Show them what compassion looks like in practice.
