A client [name withheld] asks about the series of negative things happening after a Protocol session for her husband: He was let go from his job, he was asked to step down from a community service position he had previously been praised for, the market went down, affecting his biggest investment intended to support his retirement, someone interfered with him getting a new job offer he was expecting, and buyers of their property have backed away. What caused this downturn, why did the Protocol requests for ongoing support and healing not seem to help, and what can we do now to help the situation?

The big picture is one of large forces at work creating these individual circumstances. It is not all negativity that is highly personalized with his name on it, that is coming around his way for some mysterious or profound reason. This is life doing what it does, and there are many and parallel circumstances dealing with very similar situations and dilemmas. It is very much akin to society going through the Great Depression. Many had great suffering from the downturn that affected most institutions and a significant number of employed persons for the worse, but was not personal and was not owing to their personal history, their personal karma, their personal choices, their personal strengths, and ability to heal themselves, or obtain help from loved ones, and so on. This is a case where a string of bad things have happened, one after another, but they are not causally related to any particular attribute of the husband in question. So there were healing needs when you first worked on him, and these were resolved nicely, and healing set in motion, with the intention to be of benefit and bring more positive changes into his life. The fact the opposite seems to have occurred is not your doing, and in fact, the healing work you brought to bear is actually moderating to some extent the consequences that otherwise would have been much worse for these setbacks. So the setbacks themselves have their own reasons, their own history, and you and your husband are simply in the path of these negative forces and so are being buffeted about as they come into your proximity and begin to impinge on your energy. This is natural to feel affected, and to feel even targeted, when such may not be the case. It is just that a string of these coming one after another looks too much like a sinister plot of some kind to do everything possible to cause havoc. This is not the case here. This is simply general misfortune from the convergence of multiple types of negativity that are simply hitting all at once but not caused by any of the parties directly. They are simply being victims by being present at this point in time. If they were to reincarnate in a way to be aware fully of things at a later time point, there would be a quite different picture in the end. So this series of circumstances will come to an end. It will not go on indefinitely, and is actually somewhat unusual by defying the statistical probabilities that so many negative things would be invoked and become apparent in one lifetime. But that indeed is what has happened. To think there is some organization and purpose for what happens is only a natural human response. This bad luck is not karmically driven. It is the unfortunate convergence of a number of negative circumstances hitting in close proximity but not being orchestrated to deliberately cause great harm. So while they must be contended with and lived through, this need not add greatly to fear and worry that he is doomed for some reason, and that there is no hope here. Things will be turning around and there will be relief come your way as the probabilities will dictate a more evenhanded experience of ups and downs as is typical of most lives, where there is not a karmic force or purpose of undermining them and causing a repeated series of disasters.
