Once we (Patty and I) realized that we must remain in our rooms and await the authorities response to the terrorist situation, the question posed by the mind was, “what to do”? The answer was obvious. There was nothing to do. Consciousness had placed us in a situation in which it was impossible to do anything. Rather, the answer was to simply BE.
I had some data here. I had spent a year in a war—Vietnam—and was familiar with danger. My response then was fear. Certainly, the situation lent itself to fear, frustration, anger, and wishing it to be other than it was. None of this actualized. Instead, I found myself in a state of constant, sustained witness consciousness. Whereas my body reacted to the initial explosions with a jerk, I remained inwardly calm and centered. A remarkable detachment pervaded the entire scene, and I was very peaceful.
I found myself in an effortless meditative state—focused on stillness and emptiness with all that was happening on the periphery. There was a remarkable supportive presence with us. Members of the company seemed very close, and there was great power to maintain the state. Patty and I reflected that events of which we were active participants do not happen by accident. Rather with great negative force active, it was clear that Master Charles was here on purpose to hold the line and counter-balance this force. And we had chosen to also be here to bear the positive power and to assist him as was our destiny. We held this intention and found the time to pass quickly—in contrast to my Vietnam data in which times of danger crawled by at a snail’s pace. Here I must acknowledge my lifelong companion, Patty, in whose presence my state of being was amplified.
The gunfire and explosions resulted in less and less physical reaction until they were almost unnoticed—such was the meditative state—now over 36 hours. When it was over, we left the hotel in our witness state and it has been maintained right up to the time of this writing.
We have all chosen to be here in this place during this time in history—the time of great evolution in human consciousness. We have chosen to be with this Master and we all have our own agreements with the Consciousness that we are. This experience reminds us all that we cannot sit on the fence. We are reminded that we are always at choice. What will your choice be? Our group chose wholeness.
