Preparing for something that may occur in the future is often an action that is directed by fear and concern. (We do not speak of preparing for work or play.) This is a time of preparation. Be aware—conscious at all times—but allow the heavens to offer help and guidance.
BE just where you are in all your activities until you hear/sense a call to do something else, or to be in another location. Do not make any changes on your own—human fear and concern for a future not yet here is guiding that.
Live as you are—in calm and joy, proceeding through each day in the Presence [of God]. Then when heaven’s guidance comes to suggest a change, great or small, you will HEAR it.
Again we say—go peacefully through each day, offering your Self and those around you, your peace, trust, love, and inner joy. In that state you will be able to discern a ripple in the fabric around you and be ready to follow the guidance offered.
In these times especially, the world needs your calm, loving, joyful presence. The presence of calm seems counterintuitive, as you say. We tell you it is the most helpful state. It is in that state we will find you open to the guidance most needed.
Fear nothing. You are cared for and protected by your trust. Be calm. Be still in trust. It is our joy to watch over and guide you.
