This was also the the century that brought us the Spanish Inquisition, the Calvanist and Huguenot Reformation, the westward advance of Islam, Puritanism and all kinds of wars based on religious intolerance waged for political and economic gain.

It was the century of Machiavelli’s The Prince, Spanish Conquistador Francisco Pizarro – the eradicator of the Inca civilization, Henry the VIII and Martin Luther, who both defied the Catholic Church in their own ways. Then there was the St. Bartholomew’s Day Massacre which claimed over 10,000 lives over just a few short days. Yes, it was a special time, given to one of the most horrendous and far reaching outbreaks of religious intolerance on record.

So you might ask, “How could the flu be the result of collective karma regarding religious intolerance and why should I care, even if it is?”

As a medical intuitive who uses kinesiology or muscle testing in my sessions with people, I have found over the years that the emotional and spiritual energy of Influenza has always tested as either hatred, wrath or intolerance – coming from others. Newsweek has an interesting photo essay on the History of the Flu that you might like to check out.

I find the study of physical ills juxtaposed against social ills fascinating and think that the karmic imprint of influenza and pandemics makes a lot of sense against the backdrop of when this particular illness emerged and the kind of mass fear and paranoia that is so easily conjured up anytime anyone discusses the flu and being around other people.

Often times people I see who are sick themselves or discussing the Flu use the word “hate” or “afraid” to describe their experience.

“I hate being at work. I hate being at school. I’m afraid to be closed in with all those people. I’m afraid I’ll get sick and I hate being sick!”

Release the Binding Energy of Paranoia and Intolerance

I learned early on in my intuitive practice that intolerance or hatred is a binding energy. What I mean by that is when you “hate” something, your thoughts, your mindset and your energy gets very hard and constricted – not to mention your heart. The same goes for paranoia, however, simple fear is more of an immediate reaction – it usually comes up to let you know that something is off – something is wrong that needs your attention right away. It’s telling you that there is some aspect of this situation that isn’t good for you. Fear can be a very useful emotion when it motivates you to be cautious and do what you can to avoid harmful situations.

Intolerance is a kind of hybrid emotion that combines hatred and paranoia and turns them into a whole belief system. It is an outright rejection and violent refusal to accept that there might be something good about the object of our intolerance. When we are being intolerant of people, we focus our attention on them and send angry thoughts toward them, thinking that somehow doing so will make them go away and ease our suffering. Unfortunately, the opposite is true. The more we hate or fear something, the more we are bound to it… and it may even make us sick.

What You Put Out, You Get Back…Tenfold

So what about healing the karma? How can we accept what we may have put out hundreds of years ago and dispel the karmic seeds that were planted then? Is it possible to heal the mindset of intolerance even after all of these years? And by healing ourselves as individuals, could we have a positive impact on the spread of the flu, decreasing it’s collective power over us?

I think it is possible and I suggest that we start by releasing our agreement to hold onto the negative pattern of intolerance in any form that it may come in.

Look at the Soul Contract Circle below and imagine that you can burn and release any family, religious or societal contracts that connect you to the patterns of religious intolerance we are speaking about here.

You can use the affirmation below it to help you:

“I abandon the practice of religious intolerance in whatever form it takes.”

“I am free of the negative pattern of intolerance and paranoia.”

It’s amazing how much energy you can free up just by doing this and you can do even more.

Use this symbol to help you get in touch with any curses or wrathful intentions that you or any member of your ancestral family may have sent towards any other person or group of persons. Use the affirmation below to stop the flow of anger or intolerance that would feed those curses.

“I abandon all forms of wrath in the form of curses, grudges, feuds or declarations of war.”

Now let’s clear the karmic seeds. With this symbol, go into your heart and imagine you can remove the seeds of any past karmic event that has anything to do with religious intolerance.

Once you are done, have your spirit plant a seed of tolerance to take the place of all those negative seeds.

Emotions are Simply Energy in Motion = e-motion

Many people can sense energy and actually feel negativity around them. They can also use that ability to disperse the energy and maybe you can too.

Use this symbol to help you get in contact with the emotional energy pattern behind the flu and dissolve it. All you have to do is look at this symbol, relax and get in contact with that hardened pattern of violent intolerance that started way back in the 1500′s. Once you sense it, use your intention to dissolve it, like dark clouds dispersing in the atmosphere.

Once you have dissolved the clouds completely,  you can rejoice in having made a difference by healing your part of the collective karma of the flu and it’s spiritual counterpart – religious intolerance!

Hexagram #23 DETERIORATION (Splitting Apart)

“If you are feeling hopeless, it is because you are focusing on what is falling apart rather than that which is being built.

There is a great and accelerated deterioration in matters that pertain to the old Status Quo. Do not focus your eyes and senses towards them because there is little that you can do in the arena of the old economy.

Focus instead upon the new grids of prosperity that are already growing like flowers throughout your country. Like a plant, they need your attention and loving intentions to help them grow and be strong.

If you are a person who is building one of these new flowers, take the time now to fully disengage from that which is disintegrating around you.

Step into the new garden of sustainable prosperity and make sure the flower that is your business and service to the community is fully planted in the new garden.

Don’t assume that you have completed the replanting of your energy and livelihoods because aspects have been entrenched in the old until just recently.

 See your business endeavor as a flower. What kind of flower does it seem to be like?

With this symbol, imagine that you can send it love and light and all the elements required for life to flourish.

When you are grounded in hope rather than fear, the trajectory of your efforts to prosper has no other choice than to head in the direction of your highest good.

Taking the time now to replant yourself fully in the garden of hope will prevent future mishaps and conflicts.”
