There is always a divine message hidden in the seemingly negative experiences we go through. We just have to penetrate beneath the surface of a situation, and the message will be revealed. “Amma” (Hindu spiritual leader – formerly, Mata Amritanandamayi Devi).*

The general theme of this Blog relates to Mass Events (ME) and their significance to Humanity, and you, the individual – hence ME&you. “Mass events” was a term used by the metaphysical character Seth** to refer to large-scale physical events (such as natural disasters and man-made disasters and tragedies) that significantly impact a large percentage of the global population. Seth informs us that such events carry deeper spiritual meanings for humanity than conventional examination currently reveals.

This Blog aims to make you aware of these deeper meanings and thereby awaken a broader spiritual perspective within you.

Essentially, my Posts will attempt to examine and decipher the underlying psychological elements within our collective psyche (the thoughts and beliefs we collectively hold to be valuable), that contribute to the manifestation of events that make headline news. They will also show how these examinations relate to the individual, as each of us tries to understand the escalating number of distressing incidents occurring in our world.

Doesn’t the media try to do this already?

The mainstream media’s mindset adheres diligently to the modern, scientific worldview. Science still maintains that anything in physical reality exists as a result of (though highly complex) random mechanical processes. There is no meaning underpinning any physical event, just initiating physical causes.

The media therefore offers, at best, a simple and impartial viewpoint on something that has just happened. They will attempt to remain as objective as possible in their reporting—although in recent years this policy appears to have been abandoned. They may on occasion offer a superficial explanation as to why an event happened—but usually only what the obvious physical causes were, and who, if anyone, is to blame for causing the event.

Because we believe reality is a series of random events, and that no collective responsibility exists beyond a blamed person or group, the media quickly shifts its attention from one mass event to another.  Sadly, we very often do not see, or ignore, the message or deeper meaning underpinning an event—blinded as we are by the belief that we do not co-create our reality, and are therefore not responsible for its manifestation.

Rarely do investigations of a mass event examine collective psychological contributors (specifically the beliefs we hold).

This blog, however, offers a very different viewpoint from the media. It presents a point of view that originates deep within the subjective, spiritual realm of creation. A perspective drawn from a far broader understanding of why we manifest certain realities.  I will suggest to you why an event has occurred, what collective beliefs may be behind it, and what you, the individual, can do to help stop it from occurring again.

Everything happens for a reason, on the personal level and at a shared, co-created level. A significant mass event contains a significant message from Consciousness (God if you like), sent to awaken our awareness to a problematic belief within our collective psyche.

Surely this doesn’t apply to natural events that are really tragic, like tsunamis?

The bigger and more alarming the event, the more important it is that we examine and act on the psychological issues at the heart of its origin.

Unpleasant, frightening, alarming, tragic, abhorrent, disgusting, negative happenings (whether deemed natural or manmade) represent the loudest of wake-up calls to our collective mind. We co-create all that we experience, the joyful and the tragic.

Consciousness creates all experiences for very good reasons. It learns and expands through experiences, and we too, as expressions of Consciousness, can learn from our experiences—provided we wake up to the fact that the events we create for ourselves contain valuable subjective information on the current nature of our collective psychological structuring.

Crucially, we create our reality from our psychological structuring.

Negative incidents are essentially telling us of the psychological problems we must deal with if we are to shift our outlook to a more evolved perspective on life.

As each of us creates our reality from our personal collection of beliefs, so too is mass reality co-created from the commonly championed beliefs held by the majority.

Our personally negative experiences steer us into self-examination, prompting us to meditate on any personal beliefs we hold that need addressing.

Similarly, scaled up, if you will, negatively perceived mass events are there to remind us of issues within our collective psychological structuring that we should take a serious look at—not only for the sake of humanity’s mental equilibrium, but also to be better prepared for taking the next step in the evolution of human consciousness.

**Seth was a character channelled by the author Jane Roberts from the 1960s through to her death in 1984. Amongst Seth’s dictated books is a personal favourite of mine, The Individual and the Nature of Mass Events.

In this book I will try to tell you what goes on behind the scenes – to show you the ways in which you choose your daily physical programs, and to describe how those personal choices mix and merge to form a mass reality. (Seth, The Individual and the Nature of Mass Events: A Seth Book.
