There is One Intelligence, One Mind of God, a collective consciousness, of which you are an aspect.  So there is a collective experience like seasons and plague etc… But there is an individual experience of these as well.  You see so many things in any given day and most of them just pass by as if you were driving past the scenery in a car, but a few of them are deeply impactful to you as you experience them more fully. Your consciousness auto-selects these experiences based on your individual filters.  You can affect this process by seeing them from a witness point of view. That is to maintain your being in God, The Christ Mind.  See all things as God and no weapon can be formed against you.  Your reaction to each stimulus or image (illusion) creates your experience of it.  “when you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.”  Maintaining your knowing of ALL things as God without overlaying your projections and interpretations is “The Secret Place of the Most High” where God is your protection.  Do not react from a place of “I” or self, rather see that “I Am” is with you always and know that you are safe. From Psalms 91, “1000 to your left and 10,000 to your right but it will not come near you.” This is the central feature of all conflicts and problems.  Learn not to attach and participate in the illusions of life as they blow by your window.  In the flying metaphor, keep your eyes on the instruments and pay no attention to your five senses.  God is with you always. Do not fall into your illusory response to a false image or temptation, however horrific or beautiful it may appear.  I am with you always.
