@Baba @jeanne-mayell Thank you so much, Baba. Every time I see MoscowMitch, I think he looks angrier and angrier. Also, after watching Gaetz self-destruct, I felt like Jordan had to be following soon (that's my logic, not intuition). I have one observation. Jeanne said awhile ago that she felt disappointed that Biden kept Wray. While I noted it at the time, I didn't understand why. I'm thinking now that Jeanne's comment foretold Baba's comment about Wray stepping down. Of course, that leaves me, once again, in awe. PS @Jeanne, I'd love to hear more about why you made that comment originally.
@Baba I cannot tell you how much your posts mean to me. So, thank you for sharing.
I think Trump is essentially handicapped.
Hi Community. You may notice that there are a bunch of Random Prediction posts that were made 1 to 3 weeks back but are all dated today. That's because I was merging the Random Predictions thread into this Random Predictions thread so we could keep all the random predictions in one thread, but they accidentally ended up being dated the same day. Sorry about that. ? @baba, @lovendures @seeker4@coyote @lenor @jsr78
Hi Everyone! I hope I’m in the right place now for random predictions. I just happened to get a few very random ones today:
The Chicago Cubs are in the news. (No idea why. I don’t follow sports.)
I see Joe Biden smiling and wearing sun glasses.
There is a new dinosaur fossil find in Siberia.
Nostradamus is in the news for some reason.

As I read this I am sitting in storm train across the South to the East for the next 3 days. There have already been tornadoes and lots of lightning and power outages. Then I ran across this article and read it. It occurred to me that perhaps this increase in storm activity may be another way of Gaia cleansing herself. I predict that the more we will be learning and developing ways to help by using/expanding on the knowledge we are garnering today in these times.
This is a fascinating article! Thank you for sharing it.
Stay safe dear Journeywithme2.
@lovendures thank you -a lot of thunder,lightning,rain .. but I didn't lose power today. It flipped on and off enough yesterday LOL
@journeywithme2. The finding that lightening cleans the air is so beautiful and mysterious. With climate change, we are going to have much more lightening. It makes me wonder what other magical gifts Mother Nature has for us.
@jeanne-mayell to me, that is the appeal of Taoism. The literal translation has always been "the way", but I like to think of it simply as, "what works". And that is almost always nature. You can see it in the garden, when leaf-litter and chicken poop become tomatoes and cucumbers.
It also echoes George Carlin, so we as a species need to be cautious in what we say and do -- "the world" doesn't need saving. Thanks to the Tao, the world is going to be just fine. The question is whether we leave it in a state where we will be okay or not. It's nice to hear that lightning might help, but we still need to remember to sort the recycling, and walk instead of driving when possible, etc.
@walden-ponderer. Love your thoughts on "what works." Love it! As for Carlin's comments that the world doesn't need saving, but we do, I will never forget Michael Crighton's words in his 1990 novel Jurassic Park, from which the movie was made. It is probably the best quote from the whole book. He's quoting Jeffrey Goldblum's nerd character:
“Let's be clear. The planet is not in jeopardy. We are in jeopardy. We haven't got the power to destroy the planet - or to save it. But we might have the power to save ourselves.”
― Jurassic Park
He said it again in Congo. It is long but worth reading:
“You think man can destroy the planet? What intoxicating vanity. Let me tell you about our planet. Earth is four-and-a-half-billion-years-old. There's been life on it for nearly that long, 3.8 billion years. Bacteria first; later the first multicellular life, then the first complex creatures in the sea, on the land. Then finally the great sweeping ages of animals, the amphibians, the dinosaurs, at last the mammals, each one enduring millions on millions of years, great dynasties of creatures rising, flourishing, dying away -- all this against a background of continuous and violent upheaval.
Mountain ranges thrust up, eroded away, cometary impacts, volcano eruptions, oceans rising and falling, whole continents moving, an endless, constant, violent change, colliding, buckling to make mountains over millions of years. Earth has survived everything in its time. It will certainly survive us. If all the nuclear weapons in the world went off at once and all the plants, all the animals died and the earth was sizzling hot for a hundred thousand years, life would survive, somewhere: under the soil, frozen in Arctic ice. Sooner or later, when the planet was no longer inhospitable, life would spread again. The evolutionary process would begin again
It might take a few billion years for life to regain its present variety. Of course, it would be very different from what it is now, but the earth would survive our folly, only we would not.
If the ozone layer gets thinner, ultraviolet radiation sears the earth, so what? Ultraviolet radiation is good for life. It's powerful energy. It promotes mutation, change. Many forms of life will thrive with more UV radiation. Many others will die out.
Do you think this is the first time that's happened? Think about oxygen. Necessary for life now, but oxygen is actually a metabolic poison, a corrosive glass, like fluorine. When oxygen was first produced as a waste product by certain plant cells some three billion years ago, it created a crisis for all other life on earth. Those plants were polluting the environment, exhaling a lethal gas.
Earth eventually had an atmosphere incompatible with life. Nevertheless, life on earth took care of itself.
In the thinking of the human being a hundred years is a long time. A hundred years ago we didn't have cars, airplanes, computers or vaccines. It was a whole different world, but to the earth, a hundred years is nothing. A million years is nothing. This planet lives and breathes on a much vaster scale. We can't imagine its slow and powerful rhythms, and we haven't got the humility to try.
We've been residents here for the blink of an eye. If we're gone tomorrow, the earth will not miss us.”
It also echoes George Carlin, so we as a species need to be cautious in what we say and do -- "the world" doesn't need saving. Thanks to the Tao, the world is going to be just fine. The question is whether we leave it in a state where we will be okay or not.
Amen to that. I am a geoscientist by profession and therefore take the long view. When I hear people talking about "saving the Earth", I want to shake my head and say, "Oh, you puny mortals. You are nothing compared to Planet Earth. She is over 4 billion years old and has gone through many changes which would have been uncomfortable for humans at best, and unsurvivable at worst."
Hi everyone!
Here are a few predictions from today’s meditation:
Steve Bannon is back in the news and in trouble again.
D. Firtash loses his fight against being extradited to the US.
I see Liz Cheney. She is throwing lightning from her hands at those in her party who are working against her (like Emperor Palpatine from Star Wars). She does damage to these people’s careers.
@baba Love, love, love your meditations. Sending protection to Liz Cheney. Help her everyone! Putting an army of support around her. May she rise up! I can't stand her father, but I hope she prevails.
@jeanne-mayell Definitely! So proud she is standing up!!! To the " Emperors New Clothes" crowd!!
