Thank you Coyote.
I want to say how grateful I am to be able to share my visions and observations here without fear of judgement.
As someone who grapples with mental illness I am reluctant to share my ...self...with others, even those who are close friends for fear of rejection or misunderstandings.
It is a gift to me, personally, to have all of you to share these things with.
From @lovendures in response to one of us feeling bad for getting mad at some relatives:
You are human.
You also are kind, compassionate, caring, intelligent, willing to grow, appreciate wisdom, can think logically and act in love. You seek truth and honesty. You also can consider a larger picture and the impact for the greater good.
Perhaps there will come a day when your family can get to that place also.
In the meantime keep following your path and continue making the world better than you have found it. You can't control how your family acts and what they believe. You can however keep your own light shining and growing. You do that so well already Dannyboy.
You will weather this storm. What branches you may lose in the storms you face will simply tell part of your life story. You ultimately get to define how you live that life. The water from the storm will help revitalize you. The sun which comes out afterword can help you grow new and stronger branches and beautiful fresh green leaves which will grow to new heights. . You can let your roots hug the soil and ground you in the richness of Mother Earth and let it feed your soul.
You many notice along the way, the shade you provide to others on hot afternoons, the food your offer to the animals, the home give to birds and chipmunks.
One tree can impact many. Some people will walk through a forest and never notice the individual trees living within. What a loss for them.
I notice that you are a beautiful strong and giving tree and we are all the more fortunate for my friend. -- Lovendures
From the Great @Frank (who never disappoints) when I asked about how we get at the truth of the Covid studies or of anything:
"@jeanne-mayell It's interesting you bring this up. The most recent issue of MIT's Technology Review is dedicated to exploring the science of the brain and the mind. One article concerns the way our brains use what our senses perceive in order to create our sense of reality. One quote from a scientist really stuck with me. He basically says that our perception is really a series of hallucinations constructed by our brain and that when enough of us all agree on the hallucination then that is what we call truth.
I find that fascinating because it so closely describes what's going on in society today with everyone constantly fighting over what is true. Subgroups of society are basically creating their own truth/reality based on what information they allow themselves to receive.
It also calls to mind the spiritual concept of manifestation or that we can change our own reality by changing what we focus on.
I get the paper version of the magazine but I found a link to the online article (behind a paywall) here:

Yet another wonderful post by @Frank.
To give some background, in the vaccine hesitancy thread @Meliaamal asked how people who proclaim to be light warriors, naturopaths and spiritual people could aline themselves with Trump and conspiracy theorists who fill themselves with fear and hostility towards fellow humans. She wondered how these two things were reconcilable.
@meliaamal I think the short answer is that these people are still on their journey. They are in this semi-awakened state where they recognize some truth, but have not come fully out of the delusion of fear. However, that is to be expected... We all are at different points of this journey, for different reasons. The soul knows no fear and no separation. One of the main reasons we, as souls, come to this reality is to experience fear and to learn our way back to Love and Unity through that experience. There are very few persons who have ever really fully realized the end goal of that journey. Buddha and Jesus both come to mind. In their cases, they both came here and achieved full Awareness in order help others. We, however, don't need to be a Jesus or a Buddha in order to help others with their journey. We can help, simply, by sending out a prayer of Love; that each of these individuals learns the lessons they need to learn in order to serve the Greatest and Highest Good. ❤️
Excellent post by @jeanne-mayell under Random Predictions II on understanding how our intuition works, and why it sometimes doesn't:
@baba @seeker4 @bluebelle @deetoo thank you for this discussion. I think about what goes on when we are wrong. Some people say that means we can't see the future. But we know we can. We have had so many amazing hits, some of them were vivid and detailed too. Someone predicted the discovery of a new planet and exactly at the right month. That is such a rare event that one reader wrote to me that it made a believer out of him.
So it is worth trying to understand what is happening when we are wrong and then figure out how to handle that the next time. Being wrong is the best teacher.
In 2007, a client asked about the 2008 election. I did a remote viewing of the Inauguration and saw a black man on the victory platform.
Lesson 1: One reason I believe I could see Obama's victory so far ahead (even before he'd been nominated) was that Obama's victory was one of the biggest historic events in US history. It was a huge splash in the Collective Conscience. So it was visible as far back as late 2007.
But it didn't work for 2016 because I refused to believe that T would win. I never saw Hillary win, but I assumed she would win.
Lesson 2: keep track of what you actually see. I had one vision of T on the Inaugural platform, but I interpreted it to mean he was there only in spirit.
Lesson 3: Interpretation is where we insert our beliefs and our need to believe something. Interpretation is where we can falter. I refused to believe that T would become our president. So I refused to see it. I am not mad at myself one bit about that. I'd seen the dystopian years coming, but nothing would have prepared me for a monster in the WH. I can't think that dark! And I am glad of that.
Lesson 4: Decide whether getting a hit is better than pushing for the light.
I choose the light. I'm not going to give power to visions that cause me to give up. Being positive, i.e, seeing the light, is more important to me than doing a parlor trick. There is always a chance for victory, even when we've seen something dark ahead. And keeping our eyes on the prize is how we get to victory.
Baba, your positive vision likely got more people to the polls than otherwise would have been. Your vision helped me to feel more positive and I was able to rise high enough to send angels to help with the election. We may not have won it, but we won many victories that day and it is love and positivity that got us there.
A week before Virginia, I threw cards and did not like what I saw. It looked like Youngkin was triumphant and McAuliffe was lonely. I threw more cards until the scenario switched. (Throwing more cards mucked up any possibility of reading it clearly.) (Lesson 5 - don't keep throwing more cards when you don't like what you see.) But I was concerned.
I decided not to post anything and instead I focused on sending angels to win the day. I'd rather do my best to make light happen. Let's keep posting those angelic Messages to Humanity. Let's continue to be positive and see the light.
I'd rather be positive and not get the hit, than be negative and get the hit. It's just a hit. That's all.
Lesson 6: Don't overthink it when you are doing visioning. If you think too much about being right, that thinking will cloud your visions. We have to meditate, relax, and think mindfully. We can't get worried that we will be wrong.
Lesson 7: It works best to listen to what spirit wants to tell us rather than forcing spirit into a corner with specific questions. There may be a bigger message than just who wins this or that election.
By @LivingFree2 after the Rittenhouse verdict and the pain it brings to many Americans about our country. Posted 11.19.21 in The Great Turning Part 5
"We're definitely not "goody-two-shoes" here, but we are a community striving to awaken - together. Matildagirl, I share your dismay about what happened in Wisconsin. It definitely doesn't feel fair or just but if I give in to these feelings for very long, I'll just be adding more hate to a world that definitely does not need it.
I'm constantly striving for the balance of keeping my feet very grounded and practical, which includes reacting and acting, while also literally rising above it - with compassion. I think we can do both.
I'm not sugar-coating what happened, or just how bad things might get. But still, I want to join with other people who recognize everything broken has to crumble so that we can rebuild something never before seen. I think this verdict, and all that will come from it, is part of the crumbling. I think it's going to get worse, as the predictions on this site and elsewhere indicate, but then - then we get to build new.
I love that we can gather together hurting, and still - hoping. To me, the path forward is to keep our vibrations as high as we can, kind of like the eye of a hurricane. Feeling, expressing those feelings, and then letting them go. It doesn't have to take long. I'm grateful for the other people in this forum who encourage me when I feel heavy." --@living-free
Thanksgiving Day has come and gone this year, but i think Every Day should be a day of thanksgiving. I just wanted each of you to know how grateful i am for this community, and especially how thankful i am for @jeanne-mayell. Here is a small taste of why:
First, I love TG. It is my favorite holiday. I see it as a high holiday that involves gathering with my family and enjoying time together. So happy Thanksgiving to all.
But I also know that for Native Americans, Thanksgiving is rightly a day of mourning. I believe in knowing the truth. So, I pray that understanding what really happened back then will be best for all.
There is a young woman in my town who is the granddaughter of a great Wampanoag chief. This tribe has lived here in Massachusetts, and other parts of New England, for over 10,000 years. On Thanksgiving Day, they mourn. They are gathering today in Plymouth, Mass to pray for their ancestors who suffered unimaginable atrocities at the hands of the white invaders of their lands.
I heard her speak the other night on zoom. She is a beautiful being. So articulate and kind. Last year, she helped my town change Columbus Day to Indigenous People's Day, a political battle that I chronicled here in the forum.
There is no recording of her talk, but I will post the massive reading list she sent out if anyone is interested. I will also share the highlights as I remember them. I bet @coyote also knows a lot of this history and can fill in my omissions and correct my mistakes, since he has worked with this tribe.
Almost everything we were taught about Thanksgiving Day is a fabrication. A myth to make it appear that the natives felt good about the pilgrims. There was a feast in 1621 that occurred because some tribal leaders heard guns going off and walked over to the white colony to see if everything was okay. They ended out staying for a feast. That's it.
The pilgrims weren't called pilgrims. They were not fleeing religious oppression. There had already been bands of them coming here decades before. The group who arrived in 1620 had been trying to get to Virginia but were hopelessly lost. They sailed up and down Cape Cod and finally landed in Provincetown on the tip of the Cape, whereupon they raided some Native gravesites and then got back on their boat. The "pilgrims" were notorious for kidnapping natives and taking them back to Europ0e and selling them as slaves.
When this group finally landed in the late fall of 1620, the natives helped them survive the winter. They would have died without the help. The natives may not have done this out of the goodness of their hearts, although they believed in being thankful everyday for what they had and shared with others. But they knew that the white man would not stop coming to their land so they were trying to be diplomatic and hoped they could forge peace with them. But as we all know, the whites did all they could to drive them out. They are however still here, and they have a lot to say. People are finally listening, or I wouldn't know a thing about it.
Plymouth Rock is just some rock some people in Plymouth found in the early 1900's and dragged to a pit where they surrounded it with sand. They thought they could profit from turning it into a tourist attraction. If you think about it, boats will not land on a rock, or they'd crash. The Town of Plymouth saw a marketing opportunity and people still believe it.
There is a rock about the same size on the side of the Massachusetts Turnpike (Interstate 90) as you head east towards Boston. Someone irreverently painted the words Plymouth Rock on it, which makes us locals double over in laughter when we see it. Little had I known when I first saw this spoof, that the real Plymouth Rock is just as fake.
We will enjoy our day together and I will enjoy all the expressions of gratitude that are pouring in. I am especially grateful to have learned the truth of this holiday so I too can send prayers of love and healing to those who mourn today, and thanks that I am finally learning the truth.
A beautiful post by @barry in the Great Turning thread:
https://www.jeannemayell.com/community/postid/52149/
Love, hope, and courage are aspects of the same vibration. They come from the heart. They have to be unconditional to be true expressions of the realm of the heart. You can't say in truth, and from the heart, I will love you if these conditions are met, I will have hope if these conditions are met, I will be courageous if these conditions are met. Please also understand that unconditional love should never be misunderstood as accepting any form of abuse. A sacred bond is broken by abuse and no form of healthy love can exist in that vibration.
Courage begins with the dare to hope.
The heart is the seat of our true self and our interface with the unseen realm of creation and the creator. The heart is a formless knowing of all possibilities. The heart feels and imagines, it dreams. No one dreams in their mind, they dream in their heart. No one feels in their mind, they feel in their heart. We love in our heart. If we attempt love in our mind it's an expression of selfish love, an imposter.
The mind will tell us stories of who we think we are, the heart knows who we truly are. The mind creates labels, and pretends they are knowledge and thus reality. It is the source of judgements, good-bad, and the source of fear. No one has a courageous mind, they have a courageous heart. The mind will tell you nothing is possible because it’s never been done before. In your heart you can feel the endless possibilities.
When it's in balance with the heart, the mind serves to protect. It interfaces with and organizes the input we receive from the physical. When it's given free rein it will rule the heart. It will become selfish and self centered. It will create unwarranted fear and despair of what it doesn't understand. At its worst, it will act on those fears and despair in a selfish, heartless, negative way.
It feels very much to me that the great unravelling is related to our present mind centered existence. Western and industrial civilization has created a way of life dependent solely on the intellect, the mind. Our lifestyle is a construct solely of our mind. Wealth and power are imaginary. Power can be taken and given but where is there a stream to be found that you can fill your bucket with personal power? Power creates nothing on its own, it must enslave others to act on it. It is a distortion of cooperation. One person cannot create power alone, they must coerce other to act in their interest. In cooperation the power created is share equitably. Money is purely manufactured of nothing more than paper, metal, or now even more imaginary - digital 0's and 1's in the ether. If we were to again base it on something rare and precious like gold and silver, we could just as easily base it on something far more valuable such as air. After all, it's what we create it out of now.
The immense challenges we face are a result of what we created using our minds. The mind has enslaved the heart. This is why everything is so highly charged right now. Our mind based fantasies we substituted for a meaningful life are unravelling. We don't understand why but everything seems to be collapsing all around us. Or is it? The intellect is easily fooled and manipulated. Facts are the limits of what our minds can understand at this present moment. Facts of the mind can be distorted. So called "alternative" facts can be created and chosen. Creation is truth, we can argue over its various aspects but it remains what it is regardless of us and our thoughts. The infinite, universal truth is what our heart speaks to, unburdened of the mind. The smarter (the more powerful our intellectual mind) we are, the more difficult this can be to consider. The more our intellect will protest.
An easy way to experience this divide between heart and mind is to spend a week watching television and write down what you have learned and what you know. Then spend a week alone in the forest and sing of what you have learned and what you know. In both cases include what you love and what is truly important to you. Which one manipulates your sense of reality, and which one speaks truth? Spoiler alert - The trees will speak directly to you heart. The TV will speak directly to your mind. This was suggested to me not by a higher source where I normally receive understanding, but by a tree. Certainly not by a tv! Without pausing to reflect, what does your mind think of learning from a tree? What does your heart feel? Maybe you thought it was silly and felt nothing, maybe you intuitively longed to sit under a tree on a warm summer day.
The great turning feels like a turning towards the heart and seeking a re-balance where the mind serves the heart. In our present state, we cannot imagine - in our minds - what that will look like. But if we trust our hearts and act with hope, courage, and love we will continue to learn what is being whispered to us by higher source (and the trees). That it is an unravelling and a turning and not a destruction gives me hope. It will require all our courage to imagine and a build a better world for future generations. We have to start to build the foundations for them to build on.
