Daily Divine: Star Trek, Spock and why we should stop going amok.

Back when I was a kid watching Star Trek every afternoon with my best friend Judy, there was an episode in which Spock goes amok: Amok Time.
 
In it, Spock does things like gets in fights, tries to steer the Enterprise to Vulcan instead of stay on course, and creates general chaos. He gets violent and weird and acts in definitely non-Vulcan ways.
 
Spock has gone amok.
 
And the reason he’s amok? As all you hard-core Trekkies already know, Spock was suffering from his need to fulfill pon farr (which basically meant he must mate or die.)
 
Spoke went amok, because his needs were not met.
 
It seems to me, no longer watching afternoon TV in my parents’ basement, but now instead observing an endless stream of Twitter and Fox and Morning Joe and Huffiest, that  we’ve all gone amok.
 
For the same reason: our needs have not been met.
 
It’s easy to point fingers and place blame and get depressed and be in rage about how things are moving backwards, not forwards; about how the most basic things we need: human rights, a healthy planet, healthcare, peace…. are being reduced to rubble every day.

And here we are, looking at all of this gunk—this non-conscious way of living—and we are realizing just how much work we still have to do.  How amok we have become.
 
Almost everyone is feeling this amok time.
Empaths feel it especially.
 
And if this is so for you, here is a suggestion:
Don’t be a part of the crazy, the hate, the rage.
Stop going amok, take a deep breath and remember: 

You're an infinite soul. 
Hold your Light high. 

Much love,
