Caught in the Web
Weekly Reading Topic for December 21, 2019: Caught in the Web
Well, good morning, love! I just opened a Reading for you, my newsletter subscribers and here’s what I heard in answer to the following:
What do my readers most need to hear this weekend? What is the most important message to send to my beloved readers?
The answer was: “Caught in the Web.”
What follows is your weekly reading, dear one.
Weekly Reading │ Caught in the Web
Q: What do we need to know about “Caught in the Web?”
A: Oh, now this is interesting. Picture a … cobweb … but one that has multitudes of other cobwebs in it.
OK, let’s start over, I want to get this right.
Picture a cobweb. Hold that in your mind. A central circle, and then off of that circle, spokes and attached to those spokes, more circles, that build concentrically on the scaffolding of the spokes. Right?
OK, NOW — see that every single joint in that web is part of ANOTHER cobweb. And those cobwebs are also joined to each other. And to the ones that come off of THOSE cobweb joints.
Every single joint in every cobweb is the center of its very own cobweb, and also connected to all OTHER parts of EACH of the other webs.
So in your mind, you should now see this shimmery NET of cobwebs.
And YOU, loved one, are at the very center of your own cobweb.

And I am at the very center of MY cobweb.
But here’s the trick: the entire planet is at the center of one of those joints, too. And so is every cell, in every body, and every atom, in every rock/plant/water droplet in every planet, every universe.
Oh, and yes, every universe is living right in the center of its own cobweb.
And so we are all connected. This is something that is somehow true, and related to Einstein’s theory of Entanglement — that what happens in one part of the “web” happens in ALL parts of the “web.”
It’s like a net, these intersecting cobwebs, and in each union of webs you will find a single … jewel. A shiny, beautiful, intelligent piece of life that is a cell, or your elbow, or a school system, or a country, or an atom, or a universe.
We’re all in there, in this net, as jewels.
And I know this all sounds very odd, right? But doesn’t it also feel so TRUE?
And this is how it works: when we WAKE UP and notice that we are in fact the center of the web/net, we feel, sometimes “caught.” We feel like every move we make could be the wrong one, or like nothing we do is right. And then because we have some cultural norms like “don’t think you are so special” and “you’re not so important” and also things like “other people are in charge” or “I don’t have power” we get confused.
When we realize we are in the center of a web, and that what we do, say, think vibrates along our web and impacts EVERY OTHER PART OF THE WEB we start to feel Very Important. And then our programming (the above, or whatever else we’ve picked up) starts telling us we’re crazy or delusional, and we start to shut. The. Heck. Up.
It’s not good, we worry, to think that we are the center of the universe.
Well, it might not be good, it might not be bad, but it certainly is this: The Truth.
We are ALL the center. Every single one of us, plus our elbows and cells and our everything else.
Keep yourself fully caught in the net, and you will see being at the center of your own cobweb is only special to YOU. And that’s a wonderful thing, because then you are giving everyone Else that Special Feeling, too.
And when you don’t feel special? When you decide you are not worthy, unimportant, should stay hidden, or quiet?
That’s what YOU are putting into the web.
That’s our mistake. When we wake up and feel special, that’s a good thing.
We should feel that, and let THAT go out on the web.
Because everything we feel, do, think, say goes to EVERYONE.
[They are repeating themselves, I think, because … well, because we need to hear it. When we love and accept ourselves, we love and accept everyone else. This doesn’t mean we condone bad behavior or mean cruel people. It means we don’t add to meanness and cruelty.]
This is the time of year when we think of the less fortunate. Those born in a stable. Those turned away from shelter. Those who have to travel far from their home. Those who are worried about the fate of their people.
That is a magical thing to do, to wish well to others, even those we do not know. The reason this time of year is so special — so special that entire TV networks make endless movies about this time — is because it’s a time when we radiate love and acceptance into the web. And that matters.
Every day can be like this. Every moment. But only if we choose it to be. And since every SINGLE one of us (and all of our atoms, and all of our countries, and planets, and universes, and cells and elbows) are at the VERY CENTER of the web, we are all caught in this: all caught together, vibrating as the center vibrates.
When a spider spins, she waits patiently for the tremors that tell her lunch is served.
Be the one vibrating that web with love. Even if this season brings you tears — which it does so many of us who have suffered loss — let that go into the web, too. It will inspire others to feel compassion, which will come back to you.
Nothing is lost when we are caught in the web, only changed. And believe me, I know from personal experience AND from readings and from writings and from Great Works of Art and from Truth: pain sometimes brings the greatest love there is.
Because when you are really healed from your pain, REALLY healed, what happens is so magical: you can bear the world. You can be unflinching when you see cruelty in the web. And you can find your voice, and your actions, and your words, and you can say: Stop.
And you can offer something better.
So shine brightly this weekend, and let it go out from you, like a beacon. You do not know how the smile, the touch, the word or the simple sweet wish will impact the world. But you can be sure, it will.
I am always here to serve in any way I can.
Much Love to You!
Molly
