I am becoming increasingly uneasy. Putin has been fighting the Cold War that we seem to have blithely forgotten. He won it, at last. This shutdown and the sudden withdrawal from Syria make me feel vulnerable. I have nothing worth reporting here, not from Tarot or meditation or dreams, but it seems we are unprotected and particularly weak at the moment. All the noise from Washington is on trivial things, such as appeasing the usual conservative rabble rousers. I can feel the coiling of an impending attack. The mask will come off and an enemy will reveal himself. There is something out in the collective putting me on edge. Somewhere the image of a nuclear attack crept in, maybe it was on Syria, I thought, and that is why Trump pulled our service men and women out, but this is inconsistent with the way he behaves, unless it was part of a deal so that we won’t counter attack. Impossible scenario, but it sits there even as I push the thought to the irrational edges of my mind. The color of the sky and the quality of light have made their way into my thoughts and even into a conversation I had with my husband about a new aeon. I described the changing aeon as a change in the color of the sky. I’m sharing my waking nightmares here, because anywhere else wouldn’t make sense. I’m asking for support.
SDJ, yes.
This is what I have bern been feeling as I struggled with this topic's title. It felt like a coiled snake ready to strike.
I'm feeling Putin the puppet master still pulling Trump's strings to do his bidding.
I used the title "World War III" as it needed to convey the depth of seriousness or fear or heavy darkness on an international level but at the same time with feelings of huge civil unrest within many major countries now, all at the same time.
Michele,
We feel the same thing, except I don’t think Putin needs to do much of anything to get Trump to do his bidding. The distant promise of a dollar is enough for him.
I do need to amend something I wrote about my horror. The image of a nuclear attack didn’t creep into my thoughts, it flashed in bright and suddenly upon hearing the news of our withdrawal from Syria. It was there before my processing of the news. Perhaps that is useful for anyone who interprets how intuition works. Or fear. I haven’t yet read Putin’s words on nuclear attacks, so this is all just me.
Michele, thank you for braving a rational discussion about our worst fears. I will try to join in.
When I meditated on Trump last week and posted about it, I felt queasy. I still do. But I do not see a nuclear attack anywhere.
Still trump is now unhinged. He’s becoming obsessed with saving himself from Mueller. Every move he makes now is about saving himself. That includes giving federal employees Christmas Eve off, and shutting down the government which will harm other employees.
When he pulled out of Syria I felt that either he was becoming unhinged or he’d been blackmailed by Putin or the Turks.
The whole event comes close to Flynn’s guilty plea and the bad encounter with the federal judge. The Turks may have something on trump via Flynn who worked for them. Perhaps the Turks know things about trump that could ruin him. I’m sure Putin does. Both want Trump out of Syria.
As for possible nuclear attacks, I admit I have PTSD on this issue. I was a child during the Cuban Missile Crisis. My parents sent us to school but I couldn’t bear to stay in class because I wanted to get home and protect my family. I asked to go home but they wouldn’t let me. Later I sat with my siblings and parents in front of the tv and listened to JFK talking to Americans with a grave expression on his face.
Does it affect my reading of this subject now that we have an unhinged volatile president? I don’t know. I believe from readings that the world does not end in 2019 though. I have seen it go on and on with considerable detail. And I have seen us recover from trump and a recession and his chaos during the twenties.
Will there be a contained attack? I haven’t seen it nor has anyone on this site. I Saw a lightening strike but I felt it was most likely a market crash.
Michele again I thank you for braving a discussion about it.
I was watching a Nostradamus thing narrated by a British Psychic who predicts a MASSIVE 8.7 Earthquake that will hit many places, Hungary, Czechoslavakia, and he warns East Coast , California, New Orleans and I think , Ny. to be alert for natural disasters. He is feeling that there will be deaths in the thousands as a result of this giant earthquake, however, I don't see any Scientific data to back this up. He referenced shifting tectonic plates with one sliding under the other causing the largest earthquake of all time.
I don't know. There are a lot of charlatans out there. I don't have a strong feeling about it, but maybe I'm am being blocked or am in denial.
I don't have much feelings on this, apart that it seems more likely to me than a war involving nuclear weapon. I don't know why, maybe denial.

IMO Nostradamus "predictions" if you can call them that are way too vague and people take them out of context. Business Insider has an interesting article on that topic: https://www.businessinsider.com/predictions-of-nostradamus-2011-12
I would understand thinking Nostradamus is accurate if he had specific and exact predictions such as "On August 2000 a hurricane will hit florida". But if you do some research you'll find that his "predictions" are quite vague such as "a great man will be struck down". You can easily apply that prediction to any situation such as the assassination of MLK, JFK or any other various famous figure.
If I were you see if you can focus on specific predictions.
Michelle, I have thought about your post about fears and premonitions for several days now and it has caused me to examine my own fears and premonitions. Like you, I live in the Pacific Northwest where earthquake fear and earthquake preparedness is part of life.
A year or so ago, I had a dream about living back here in the Northwest, long before even realizing we could make that our reality. In my dream, my husband and I were on a beach on an island in the Puget Sound when the waters of the sound began pulling away from shore towards the far away ocean. We immediately started scrambling up the hillside as fast as we could climb, higher and higher, pulling ourselves upward through the trees. My dream ended as the tsunami rushed down through the sound.
So recently, we've moved back to the Northwest and live on an island in the Puget Sound. I haven't thought of the dream again until recently, but don't feel afraid or in danger. Maybe that's because my home is over 200 ft. above sea level! However, like you, we practice preparedness and have a generator and food supplies.
In a way, I think of this as a parable about living the US right now. We have had premonitions of darkness ever since Trump's election and foreseen a lot of the things that have happened. Yet, I wouldn't live anywhere else. So, with a bit of insight into the future and a long hard look at our country's past, I try to keep all my fears in perspective. Our nation has gone through terrible times before, struggled with social injustices, fought a painful civil war, survived world wars and dark economic depression. Yet here we are. I firmly believe that whatever's ahead in the next year or two, we are absolutely, positively going to get through it and that we will be a better people and a better country for it.
My overwhelming sense right now is that we are in the darkness that we all have foreseen since the day of Trump's election and unfortunately, it's going to continue for a while. During my meditation today, I reflected on the winter solstice, the darkest day of the year, and how we are moving incrementally towards the light. It's going to take time to get to the light and start to see it with our eyes. Right now, though, in the midst of darkest winter, it's hard to distinguish the lightening of each new day.
As far as posting premonitions, dreams, visions, I have decided not to post anything graphic or deeply disturbing. What if my dreams were just my deepest fears and I spread that fear to others unnecessarily? I will just say in general that I feel we should send positive energy and protection to certain individuals or to people in certain professions right now: specifically to Robert Mueller and to journalists.
I don't foresee the collapse of our civilization. I do think there will be a number of natural disasters, perhaps greater than anything we have experienced before. I don't think we need to go to bunkers (although Trump may need a bunker), arm ourselves or prepare for apocalypse. It would be wise to be faithful stewards of our assets, both financial and physical, in order to weather financial storms.
We need to keep all the chaos in government and in our country in perspective, remembering that we are not alone. There are better angels among us and better angels above us. We are going to get through the chaos. I remain positive. My gut instinct is that we are going to take care of one another and that we will be okay.
Beautifully expressed, Bluebelle! Thank you for sharing all of that so positively and openly.
Enjoy the amazing beauty of your new home and all of its abundance of connections with the natural world.
It should be a lovely and meaningful setting for you and all of your talents and abilities.
Happiest of holidays to you and yours and to all of you reading here who celebrate any or all holy or holi-days!
Keep your hearts open, your spirits strong and steadfast and we will indeed weather any thing that lies ahead!
