What Is the Spiritual Perspective On Coronavirus?

Since the world is in the midst of fear and panic caused by a novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19), it’s a good time to take a look at this event by asking: How bad is it? Why is it happening? What is it teaching humanity? What is the spiritual perspective on coronavirus?

What is the conventional view of COVID-19?

On March 4, 2020, the Director-General of the World Health Organization (WHO) said there is no one size fits all approach to handling COVID-19. Different countries are in different scenarios:

Some have just reported their first cases. Some have clusters of cases, with transmission between family members and other close contacts.
Some have rapidly expanding epidemics, with signs of community transmission.
Some have declining epidemics, and have not reported a case for more than two weeks. Some countries have more than one of these scenarios at the same time.

The WHO is advising countries on actions they can take for the first case, first cluster, and first evidence of community transmission. This virus is not SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome), it is not MERS (Middle East respiratory syndrome) and it is not influenza (like avian flu, swine flu, Spanish flu in the past). The nature of this virus means we have an opportunity to break the chains of transmission and contain its spread.

“The death rate so far—which includes more than 3,000 deaths globally—is many times higher than the mortality rate of the seasonal flu, which is 0.1%, that is at least partly because COVID-19 is a new disease, and no one has built up an immunity to it.”

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) stated that COVID-19 is different from other novel viruses in that it has a relatively low fatality rate of 3.4% [but higher in older and chronically ill people], unlike viruses that have caused panic in the past, such as avian flu with a fatality rate of around 60% that only killed 455 people. An article in The Atlantic this week said:

“The world has responded with unprecedented speed and mobilization of resources. The new virus was identified extremely quickly. Its genome was sequenced by Chinese scientists and shared around the world within weeks. The global scientific community has shared genomic and clinical data at unprecedented rates. Work on a vaccine is well under way. The Chinese government enacted dramatic containment measures, and the World Health Organization declared an emergency of international concern. All of this happened in a fraction of the time it took to even identify H5N1 (avian flu) in 1997.”

What is the spiritual perspective on Coronavirus?

Wendy Kennedy said many people have questions about coronavirus. She said it is a projection of fear that is being pushed out into the collective consciousness. You’re constantly being bombarded by it again and again and again. That’s just because of the story you’re being told. It is a story, and we invite you to let go of the stories. She explained:

You have illness on your planet every day that is far worse than the coronavirus, but you’re being traumatized by this story over and over again.
This also happens with your natural disasters, political games, reporting of violence, etc. You’re constantly being fed this diet of fear programs.

If you were being shown all the positive things that are being done on the world, such as people supporting people, people being generous, unconditionally loving, compassionate, if that was the steady diet that you were fed every day, your perception of reality would be vastly different. You would be striving to do those kinds of things within yourself and your actions and you would have a different perspective of what was possible (for example, dramatic reduction in air pollution, below).

She said ask yourself: How does this impact in my life right now? Can I do anything about it in the next minute or two or 15 min? If not, go back to the present moment. It’s a non-issue. It’s not really part of your reality. It’s physically not there. It’s just a story you’re hearing and internalizing, because you have the fear program that is running: I’m not safe, I’m physically not safe.

There are viruses that are far more deadly than that, such as your general flu. It had a far greater impact with 40 million people infected on the planet last year, and 50,000 who used it as an exit strategy, so it will trigger all of your fears around death and dying (see What Are Soul Exit Points? (Video) – Big Picture Questions).
There are other things that are far more damaging, like heart attacks, cancer and so on that are just moving at a slightly slower pace. Those are just as detrimental.
If you’re someone who is feeling very, very nervous or tense about it, and anything that you’re watching in the news and feeling tense or upset about it, notice your reaction, because that’s where your healing needs to happen.

Get your immune system strong by heart centering, letting your body go into rest and repair. That’s the best thing you can do for yourself regardless of the illness. To go through the ascension process and to be healthy, there are two things to focus on: being present (being in that heart centered space in the moment) and being grounded (being in your body, not up and out). That’s it.

Why is it happening?

At a workshop in Japan, Lyssa Royal gave a brief message regarding the fear and panic spreading around the world regarding coronavirus. To give us a bigger perspective, she explained:

In times of great polarity in many civilizations, situations like this arise as a trigger, which can cause you to spiral into more fear and polarity. But they are always an opportunity for you to grow. If you choose to take the opportunity, it can be a transformational doorway for you (see What Is Ascension Flu? (Video) – Big Picture Questions).
The ego likes to control, so there are many communications on how to protect yourself ranging from supplements to special mantras or techniques to protect yourself spiritually. It may give the ego comfort, but the truth is you cannot control your experience — it is an illusion.
Take the necessary precautions to take care of yourself, but then let it go. Otherwise, you are generating your own fear and then perceiving the experience in a distorted way. Fear is an energetic virus that is far more potent than the actual physical virus. Therefore, you have a choice: Let go or worry.

However, this coronavirus is teaching you how connected you really are. In that sense, a virus is a symbol of that connectivity. It is meant to show you, you are all connected, and by recognizing that connection, you can in a sense shift the situation by paradoxically embracing the connection between all of you.

Confirmed COVID-19 Cases Globally | CDC (updated: March 9, 2020)

In a situation like this, you have two poles: the true connectivity that you are (that underneath the surface you crave) and the desire to protect yourself and to separate.
These are really metaphors for 3rd density and 4th density, as separation is characteristic of 3rd density, while connectivity is natural in 4th density. The paradox is the 3D and 4D paradigms are seemingly at odds with each other, so you are being asked to make a choice.

Can you allow yourself in your own emotions, in own energy body to begin to feel the connection with all the beings around the world, who are involved in this global drama?

When you move into connectivity in that way, which is more of a 4th density expression, there is no need for hoarding. There is no need for fear.
Can you feel your fear AND allow in the love and the feeling of connectivity on a global level?

We’re not asking you to ignore your fear, we are suggesting you transform it, for the energy that will transform your fear is that of recognizing your connection to each other.

“This is one of those evolutionary tests, if you will. You have a wonderful opportunity for transformation, if you choose to take it. We have all faith and trust in you, and we suggest you always look to more of an integrative solution of connectivity.”

On a global level, the virus is in a sense helping you purge the deep fear that many have held within their consciousness for a very long time. It is very rare to have a global event, such as this, that triggers the same issue in the mass consciousness all around the planet. This is one of those events that allows you to shift the 3D fear paradigm and move into a 4D paradigm of more openness, connections and vulnerability. This is huge and exciting, because from the galactic perspective you are shifting, according to Royal.

What is it teaching us?

Guy Needler said we should think about those individuals, who are working on helping those people within the various different countries that are being exposed to this coronavirus. He explained:

“It is a way in which the Earth is trying to control it a little bit and make us realize that we should be thinking about working with each other rather than working in a selfish and a materialistic way. So it’s teaching us how to work together again.”

If you think about it, we work together really well, when we’re at war with each other. Each individual on each side work together to help each other to feed ourselves, repair things that have gone wrong, etc.

But with a virus, there’s no sides. It’s just everybody trying to fight the virus, so again we’re working together to help each other.
The people in China are stuck in their homes and there’s people being of service to other people, because they can’t get out to the shops, or they can’t get things that have gone wrong in the house fixed, so people are starting to work together again.

So if there’s a positive thing about this virus, it’s showing us that we need to move beyond the physical in terms of being materialistic, and we need to also start to work together in terms of looking after each other and being of service to each other as a result of it. So this virus is helping us do that.

And in real terms, the Chinese by closing down the way they have done and quoting the World Health Organization’s leader has bought the rest of the world a lot of time. So I think that they have bought the world a lot of time actually, and again it’s making us work together again rather than work in an individualized, selfish, materialistic way.

Final Thoughts

I hope this helps you see the coronavirus story in a different light. The CDC has published everyday guidelines to prevent the spread of any respiratory illness – including COVID-19:

Wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.
Stay home when you are sick [self-isolate or quarantine yourself].
In mild cases, the symptoms can look like a common cold, but you can still infect others by shedding the virus (in the nasal discharge, sputum, blood and stool without signs of diarrhea) for 2-4 weeks afterwards.
Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.
Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces using a regular household cleaning spray or wipe.
The CDC does not recommend that people who are well wear a face mask. But that view is changing: COVID-19: WHY WE SHOULD ALL WEAR MASKS — THERE IS NEW SCIENTIFIC RATIONALE & We Should All Be Wearing Masks ,Why : Watch Coronavirus Transmission Video – World Top Trend
You should restrict activities outside your home, except for getting medical care.
Older adults and people who have severe chronic medical conditions like cancer, diabetes, hypertension, heart, lung or kidney disease seem to be at higher risk for more serious COVID-19 illness (with 5-15% mortality rate).
Avoid crowds, especially in poorly ventilated spaces. Postpone nonessential travel by air, cruise ship, train, bus, etc.

If you or someone close to you has a fever, cough, or shortness of breath, please contact your doctor or hospital in advance and follow any procedures they have in place. Do NOT go to work, school, or public areas. Avoid using public transportation, ride-sharing, or taxis. It’s common sense really, so don’t be manipulated by ignorance or disinformation. One thing is for sure, this pandemic will not go away by lowering the interest rates in any country. The WHO is calling for global leadership and coordination (see Addendum, below).

Let’s stay calm, listen to the experts, and follow the science. – Barack Obama

Addendum: On March 5, 2020 @DrTedros (WHO) said: “Leadership from the top: We call on country leaders to mobilize their plans, coordinating every part of government, not just the health ministry – security, diplomacy, finance, commerce, transport, trade, information and more – the whole government should be involved. We’re concerned that in some countries the level of political commitment & the actions that demonstrate that commitment don’t match the level of the threat we all face. This is NOT a drill, NOT the time to give up, NOT a time for excuses. This is a time for pulling out all the stops.”

Dr. Marc Lipsitch (Prof. of Epidemiology, Harvard School of Public Health Head, Harvard Ctr. Communicable Disease Dynamics): “I think it is likely we will see a global pandemic. If a pandemic happens, 40% to 70% of people world-wide are likely to be infected in the coming year. What proportion is asymptomatic, I can’t give a good number.”

On Feb. 11, 2020 @mlipsitch said: “This is really a global problem that’s not going to go away in a week or two. What makes this one perhaps harder to control than SARS is that it may be possible to transmit before you are sick. I think we should be prepared for the equivalent of a very, very bad flu season, or maybe the worst-ever flu season in modern times. There is some evidence — and we’re working on quantifying it — that coronaviruses do transmit less efficiently in the warmer weather. So it’s possible that we will get some help from that, but I don’t think that will solve the problem, as evidenced by the fact that there’s transmission in Singapore, on the equator.”

Ira Longini, a biostatistician and adviser to the World Health Organization (WHO), has predicted that two-thirds of the global population may eventually contract COVID-19.

Prof Gabriel Leung, the chair of public health medicine at Hong Kong University, says if the transmission estimate of 2.5 additional people for each infected rate is accurate, that would result in an “attack rate” that would affect 60 to 80 percent of the world’s population.
