Question: The tragedy of the events of October 7th in Israel and the humanitarian catastrophe we are witnessing in Gaza right now, as is being played out in real time, are events the likes of which I would have hoped never to have seen in my lifetime. How do we not lose hope in the face of such horror? How do we keep from despairing when we see all of this happening before our very eyes? What can we do to stop it? Can the ascended masters help us to make sense of the senseless? How do people retain their sanity in the face of this insanity?
Answer from the Ascended Master Saint Germain through Kim Michaels. This answer was given during the 2023 American webinar.
Well, I have no answer to the question of how people in general retain their sanity in the face of such insanity. Most people do not, but those who have a higher humanity, they do, because they will look to a more long-term solution.
As ascended master students, you have the tools to maintain your sanity. You can give whatever calls you feel moved to give, but you can also accept what I have said in my previous answers, that when people are trapped in the School of Hard Knocks, sometimes even we of the ascended masters must stand back and allow events to outplay themselves until people have had enough. Now, we have said before that as we are moving closer and closer into the golden age, there will be periods where the transition cannot always happen in small incremental steps. There must be more dramatic events that shifts people’s attitude quicker than taking decades to achieve a change. I have said before that we are into a phase and a decade where things must become more extreme, more pronounced, so that people can see it. You can adopt this attitude and say: “This is what is happening, and it is just a matter of when people have had enough and can see the need for change.” You can make calls for this to happen, but quite frankly, unless you live in the region or are closely tied to the region, there are many other calls that it will be more important to make calls on.
Again, we have not said much about the Middle East. We have not really encouraged the student body at large to give calls on this, but if you are tied to the region, then you should do what calls you feel prompted to make from within. But first of all, you need to adopt this attitude that sometimes things need to be allowed to outplay themselves so that people can come to see what they have not been willing to see. This is always the problem that blocks progress, that there is something people are not willing to see. They are not willing to look at themselves and acknowledge: “We have to change, not those other people. They may have to change too, but we have to change and we need to start by changing ourselves.”
