Hi, I'm Joni Petrie, and welcome to my YouTube channel. Well, today I want to talk about the coronavirus.
Of the things that have been happening in 2020. But the subject that I want to get to the core and the essence of what I really want to talk about is how this virus has changed your life for the better. And I know many of you think, you know, a lot of people are suffering. It's been a bad situation, People have died, there's been sickness, there's been fear.
But it's made us change our lives. And what I want to point out is how have you used this as an opportunity for growth? Now, looking at the transits around mid January of 2020, Jupiter and Ketu came together. Same exact degree in Sagittarius.
And I told everyone, yes, this is going to be the most transitional year ever. It's going to be monumental. Something huge is going to change our lives forever. And it did. But the Jupiter Ketu conjunction is really about spirituality, about finding our truth. And so often when things get tough.
That'S when we really have the opportunities for change. Because, you know, my teacher used to always say, no one seeks God after winning the lottery.
So here is the thing. When you really look at what this is forced us to do, we've had to go within. We have had to disconnect from our regular activities. And it was time to really go inside and have deep introspection. So I think one of the things that I think has come out of this is, for me, an appreciation for family coming together, thinking about what our loved ones mean to us and how to support those relationships, improve them, and make them better. I know some people complain their relationships have broken up, but that probably was because it needed to break up. If people come together and spend more time together and they can't get along, that could be a realization as well. But to come together and realize the importance and the quality of our lives and our families is paramount. Because the core essence of everyone's life starts with your family, starts with your mother. And if you came into this world and you felt unloved, you carry that your whole life. As a matter of fact, you're looking for love, usually in all the wrong places. And this is a fact. It's so hard to come to a place where you feel like you are lovable, when you feel like your parents didn't love you, that starts there.
But we all have to realize we have to understand ourselves and make sense. Some major realizations about who we really are based on Our past? What are our reactions? How do we react to all of this? And through that, we can really have deeper guidance as to who we really are and what we've come here to do. Because beyond all else, we all came here to grow. Grow in consciousness, awareness, ultimately spirituality, experience, moksha. Moksha is spiritual liberation from this world. But you are not going to achieve moksha by wanting to escape the world. The issue here is we have to embrace the world and come to a place of loving the world, loving ourselves, loving the world, loving all that is. And have the deepest, greatest appreciation for these opportunities to be here, to grow spiritually. When you come from a place of gratitude, it will shift your life. And when you're grateful of the lessons that you've learned, it gives divine wisdom. And from that wisdom, your life will transform. And what evolves out of that is love, joy, and happiness. And eventually from that, definitely enlightenment. Everyone talks about enlightenment, but really what they're always talking about, how awful the world is and how they want to leave it. I don't want to have children in this world. It's such a terrible place. That's not the attitude that a realized soul comes from. A realized soul sees the beauty in everything, truly sees the beauty, the opportunities for change when times get tough, when they get hard times to come from the heart, to open the heart and love others and connect with others. This is what the coronavirus should be teaching all of us. Not to blame outside circumstances. China, what have you, President, what have you. Anything that you blame outside of yourself means you're a victim. Victims simply take responsibility as to what they can control to change their lives. So when we come from a place of gratitude for everything that is. And see the beauty walk in nature, look at this divine, beautiful planet, the miracles that are every day on this planet, with birth and growth and transformation and love, that always comes to a realization with peace. And that's what we're all seeking. So I want everyone to look at this coronavirus in whatever way. And if you can't see what you're supposed to gain out of this, ask in your heart that it be revealed to you. And it always is, when you ask from the deepest place in your soul, which is in your heart. Remember in all of the ancient texts, the Upanishads, the Bible, all of these say God resides within you, within your heart. Even some of the holy cards you see with the. With the saints, with the rays coming out of the heart, because that's where it's all at. That's where our Connection is. That's where love is. And love heals all. And I'm not talking about passion, romantic love. I'm talking about unconditional love. That's a concept many don't know of, and it is a real phenomena. You know, I have talked to many people that have had experiences where they went to the other side and came back near death experiences. And all of them, all of them felt unconditional love, regardless of what their religious beliefs were. That was the experience they felt. And I remember Dannon Brinkley, he died a couple of times. I remember I went to go see him speak in person one time, and he said he was struck by lightning, went to the other side, wasn't his time, had to return.
He said it was like. And it was so cute. He said it was like you were away at camp. Remember that feeling when you were away at camp and you come back home again? You can't wait to get home to that security, that love. You're home again. And that's what it is on the other side.
Unconditional love, home again. But we can have that experience while we are here in these bodies. And that's what this coronavirus has really, really gotten me in touch with. Exploring this reality of trut. Of who we really are and what we're here to do. Another thing I did was I wrote almost three books. I wrote two. Right now I'm working on the third one, which I intend to have finished by September. So, you know, when something changes, you got to find the good and where you can go. What is it I can do to change to.
Best benefit your highest good? There's always a choice. So when you stay stuck in the past and feel like a victim where you have no choices, that's where you're wrong. We always have a choice. Dig deeper, look deeper for what it is you're supposed to learn during this period. And remember always, when things are tough, it is a beautiful, powerful opportunity for growth. And one of the things that I think will evolve out of this coronavirus because of the Jupiter K2 conjunction. I've been saying this forever. The last time they came together exactly was 1889, when great discoveries came about. Yes, there was even a pandemic that year. But incredible discoveries came about. One of them, the discovery of electromagnetic magnetic energy. And that is such a powerful revelation. We wouldn't have practically any of the inventions and things we deal with today without harnessing this energy. And I believe this energy is for healing. So that's where I'm coming from. Some of the greatest discoveries for healing, because so many scientists are looking for a cure to this virus and it's about to manifest.
Before the end of this year, we're going to start seeing great strides in healing, magnificent healing with energy. And this will change the whole world. Our whole world is about to change, because the way we use energy will be different, completely different. So I want you to work on your own energies and see what it is that you are here to learn through this lockdown, through what we've been through, what is it that has changed in you. And always be grateful for these opportunities, because when you are grateful, that attitude of gratitude opens your heart and things improve. It's like the sky opens. Your life will improve radically overnight when you truly see the beauty in the world instead of focusing on the destruction and the hurt. The law of attraction is what you put out, you will get in return. So put out the good, put out that healing heart, and that's what will come back to you. This can be the most amazing, beautiful time ever. So with that, I'd like to close. If you would like more information on me or receive my free newsletter, go to my website.
