Russian President Vladimir Putin warned the threat of a nuclear war should not be discounted and criticized the U.S.' move to withdraw from an international nuclear treaty.
Speaking at his annual media press conference, Putin was asked by one journalist to assess the threat of nuclear war or a third world war.
"The danger of the situation is being downplayed," Putin told the audience of over 1,000 journalists at his year-end question and answer session.
"It now seems to be impossible, something without crucial importance, but at the same time if something like this would happen this would lead to the collapse of the entire civilization and maybe our planet.
Many times last year, a number of us felt the fearful rumblings of tactical maneuvering of warships, submarines or even potential nuclear rockets.
This is not a subject any of us wants to consider much less talk about but neither should we bury our heads in the proverbial sands of time.
As I read this news article especially Putin's words, I was reminded that during our "Read the Future Night" in September, there were collective visions of something huge that happens in 2019 or 2020 that will change the course of history.
Jeanne referred to it as a "lightning strike".
A giant wake up call? A monumental shift that will allow us one more chance to change earth's timeline and create a genuine mind, heart and soul chance to avert future calamity.
Read Putins words and share your impressions:
Or does something far more bizarre occur that as Edgar Cayce predicted would become a "force of light" in preventing a third world war? (Putin???)
As we approach the winter solstice when once again the veil is very thin between the light and the dark, the polarities of fate can often be felt approaching, even shifting.
Let's keep that shift filled with awareness as well as pouring light into all of our cracks as any darkness slips or shifts in with this time of rebirth.
Astrologers? Numerologists? Jeanne?
I don’t see the point in hoarding money if we are all going to get wiped out, I’d probably say my goodbyes at that point
PracticalNihilist and Darren,
I enjoyed both of your responses. I started the topic because many of us see and/or intuit darker and more challenging things during our meditations and visions.
People here are often too fearful to bring them up. But reality is what it is for each of us, at least in this version of our own reality!
My family has often joked that my parallel lives are having terrible realities due to all of the shadows and fears I release from my consciousness in this one . ha!
But I'd rather talk about worries and fears then hold them in my psyche where they will express in other negative or unhealthy ways.
So, would I hoard money or say my goodbyes as you have expressed? Both.
I have been preparing in my own way for a natural disaster strike of lightening for quite a while now once I became aware that the Pacific Coast's "Cascadia Sub-induction Fault" has the possibility of being the worst natural disaster that the U.S. has ever had...9 to 9.7 earthquake and potential tsunamis that could wipe out the coast right over where I live.
I have many gallons of water stored, weeks and weeks of canned, dried, or frozen goods ready. I even have a bag of emergency clothes packed that can be tossed into the car. And enough cash to pay for whatever services might even exist after a huge earthquake, terrorism strike etc.
We have a power generator, fruit trees, berry vines and a garden in the summer, but a garden requires large amoubts of water, sunshine to grow in etc.
If we had a nuclear event, or a World War that hit the U.S. ...forget all if that! I'd go into one of my deep meditatice trances and envision my loved ones, hold them in my heart and transition in the blink of an eye before a single thought might even finish!
So, are you prepared for calamities? And I mean mentally, emotionally, spiritually, or physically...as if one could be... that is!
Does it all scare you too much?
A lot of our biggest posters leave us here or stop posting during the busy or stressful, or fear filled times. Some to never return, others peeking in every few months. There are so many interesting patterns and comfort levels!
I choose to help others get their "shadows" out..all of the dark or frightening parts of ourselves that express as cutting others out of our lives, blocking them in facebook or other forums, or denying the existence of their thoughts, their actions, or their personalities as parts or in ourselves.
I started the topic to explore our shadows months ago and only a couple of us ever even posted. If things don't make sense on this forum, always ask for clarification or simpler explanations.
What we don't see or are too afraid of is often what fills us with the most fear.
I welcome any variation of any fear over absolutely anything here.
Does the very thought of a nuclear event instantly trigger you..and sure, I can feel my fears as well as all of yours just by typing this!
Are you able to talk about them and share your thoughts a little more I'm actually delighted that two commenters did!
So, thank you PracticalN and Darren. Any further thoughts after reading or thinking?
When I first started reading into the possibility of WW3 I was a bit skeptical at first because obviously we are not in immediate danger. And there are always mentally ill people with a distorted perception of reality so I had to investigate into the background of the various psychics and experts.
And while I was doing this research on a casual basis I couldn't help but notice some coincidences when watching TV. I kept seeing a pattern of culling in different TV shows that are not related to each other and not even about the end of world. I don't believe it was just a simple coincidence; it was spirit telling me that some kind of culling has to occur and WW3 happens to be it.
So anyway, back to the research on the WW3 predictions I found that psychics and experts had a good track record and caused me to take this threat seriously. I even went to some qualified psychics and to my relief they all basically said don't worry about it, it will work itself out. And like I mentioned before my spiritual guidance only says to simply hoard money instead of buying machine guns and living in the woods.
While the thought of WW3 is obviously frightening I admit I want to go ahead and get this over with. Just the anticipation and suspense is a bit much at times. You probably heard that Trump is pulling troops out of Syria and I can't help but wonder if that will be the catalyst for WW3. It sounds a bit far-fetched but if you look at history nobody really saw WW1 and WW2 coming.
So to conclude this I consulted with spirit on WW3 and the purpose of it and I got the answer that it's part of the cosmic plan and while from a human perspective obviously it sounds terrifying but ultimately it is necessary from a spiritual perspective. And like you say we all have differing viewpoints and we will all gain different lessons from WW3. For some it may be to remain bright even in times of darkness. But for others it may be to experience darkness even in order to appreciate the light.
It's going to be interesting to see how the next several years unfold.
Now, that makes me feel better.
Big phooey on Edgar Cayce, Nostradamus, Baba Vanga, the fellow in Australia, the woman who knew Trump would win and the multitude of others proclaiming the end of all we know is nigh.
Didn't we already have that in November of 2016?
Michele - much love and light to you for tackling the dark side head on!
As for me, I never saw a worldwide nuclear holocaust, but I had so many visions of "contained" nuclear war occurring here on US soil, that I became one of the people who mediates much less. It's too terrifying. My visions are mostly so negative, I stopped posting them. People in my life ascribe my fears to my anxieties (which I do suffer from), but in the past I had had some very negative visions come true. I know Jeanne says she has never seen it at all, but I also know that sometimes spirit will not show some people some things that are too horrible to contemplate. I truly hope that Jeanne and others are right and that I am very, very wrong.
And while I agree that humanity will survive and that the hubris of this era will disappear, I have felt strongly for a long time that the majority of humans on the planet now will not live to see it, including myself.
If anyone wants me to summarize what I saw, let me know.
In the meantime, I have prepped as well as I can, even though I am regularly ridiculed by family. Which is to say, not so well, but at least I know I tried. I'm considering, for the first time in my life, buying and learning how to safely use a big firearm.
Laura, I liked your post a lot! My family says the same things about me. Ha.
But most of the darker things did end up happening and my dyslexic timing was off and/ or it gave me time to prepare.
I once ran out of the house screaming and crying from a simple rsvp phone call from someone I'd never met.
I was saying terrible, even unbelievable things about that voice of this dad over the phone.
It took 10 years before i had validation that everything I'd seen was true..from having been in prison, to being a sociopath to abusing all 3 of his daughters. The eldest reported him to the school after he started in on the 5 year old. Ugly, dark, scary things are given us to know for a reason.
I've had too many near death experiences to believe otherwise. And since I survived them, I can't help but still believe we can change fate.
We debate over and over here about sharing the dark stuff. It's a truly hard one.
And Laura, I so appreciate the love and light. Thank you and many blessings in return ?
And yes, I'm one of the ones who'd rather be aware of other's insights or predictions than not be aware. That's what led me to this site in the first place. That, and knowing I'd have s chance to connect with others!
Hello everyone!
Newb here. Have been a longtime lurker and really enjoy reading your insight. You are all so gifted. I've always been very intuitive but wouldn't call myself 'gifted'. With that being said, I felt a very strong urge to join and share a recent experience. It's been quite persistent and please take it for what it's worth which may be nothing at all.
Since this government shutdown has been in the forefront and Trump announcing he will not be leaving DC for Mar-a-lago the word "bunker" popped into my head and is playing on a constant loop. I cannot shake it.
Don't really know what to make of it but had to share.
Thank you for listening.
Copper - Welcome!
At the least, it's safe to say that Twitler certainly has a "bunker mentality". He is starting to feel just how much of a siege he is under. What terrifies me is what lengths he will go to, to protect his fragile ego.
