Energy of guns

Dear Energy Lady,
I have been following the blogs and tweets about the tragedy in Boston, and even though this was a bombing, people are arguing about gun control.  Some are saying that this was an example of why we need gun control; others are saying this is why we shouldn't have it, so people can protect themselves.  What's the energy of this?

Dear Confused,
There are a lot of mixed emotions about what happened in this situation, so it's not surprising that there's a lot of mixed energy.

First, this is not a crime about guns or bombs-it's a crime of hate.  And there are no laws that can govern or control what people think or how they feel.  So in terms of preventing it, we'd have to look more deeply into the terrorists' lives to see what they learned about love and why they were so disconnected from it.  Hate resonates low on the vibrational scale, and attracts others who are in a low emotional state.  In the days to come, we are likely to hear about others in the terrorists' network, and chances are good that their vibrational states will be low, too.

In terms of protecting oneself with a gun, again, the fear of harm vibrates at a low energy.  This said, many responsible gun owners do not own them because of fear.  They own them for legitimate sporting purposes or to protect home or livestock from predatory animals.  They would never think of "hunting" a human being.  So the energy they have around their guns is peaceful and/or awake and aware, which both have much higher vibrations.

If people want to argue gun control, let them.   But if someone starts up a conversation about love, join in, vigorously.  As I have said several times this week, situations like these beg questions like, "where is the love?"  And. "What can we learn about love from this?"

Fullistic life is about living love that is available to us in many dimensions.  If you want to truly feel safe, connect to the highest emotion you can; be grateful for the safety you have, and believe that all things turn out all right in the end.

Love,
EL
