Thank you Michelle. Your kind words mean a great deal. I grew up with a misogynistic narcissist, so I learned almost from infancy how toxic such a mindset can be. By adolescence I was desperate to be free of this person and culture, and I understood that it was largely based in a fear of losing control of oneself and thereby feeling the need to try to control everyone else.
So right now instinctively I recognize whats going on, but it triggers me enormously as well. Everything I thought I'd escaped turns out I didn't because this is what the world is like. Emotionally I have a very hard time with this, all my illusions about life have been shattered and I've been left terrified.
I try to gain strength from this site and my personal life, it's not easy though.
I hope and pray that all of us can get through this with our sense of decency and humanity intact.
Natalie...I didn't have any where near that kind of a history to deal with and my heart so goes out to you. I have had friends who faced enormous mental, physical and emotional abuse and their stories seared me heart and opened it wider than it had every been opened up to that point. And I have to save I feel in my heart you are incredibly strong whether you realize how strong or not and your intuitive gifts are guiding you to do the hard, hard work you are so bravely doing and talking about know. God Bless you in the biggest meaning of the word..Good Blesses you in all ways for you are truly of Good! We go through so many, many really hard challenges in this lifetime..mine have been chronic pain and immune disease processes that were supposed to put me in a wheelchair by 40. I'm 67 and 1/2 and still walking, talking, and on the path. We can do this because here, in this special place with very different energies surround by like minded people of one tribe or another that we carry in our archetypal unconscious if not our physical DNA..we are all joined as one. And with the help of those that have opened up a variety of really large, wonderful gifts and more to come..healing whether it is physical, mental, emotional or spiritual..even the intense, and incredibly challenging narrative of PTSD triggers, is not only possible but almost a given. Bit by bit, one step at a time. We are all helping one another.
Thank you so much Michelle. You have no idea how much good your words do me. I used to curse fate for my luck, but I also know that I wouldn't be the person I am today if I didn't experience those things. I'm so sorry about your health problems, it truly shows the power of the mind that you are able to thrive in spite of them. Coming from a selfish family myself, if I didn't suffer I would be just like them, and I would rather not be like that. You're right we will all get through this, one way or another we have to. Ghandi says to be the change you wish to see in the world. And while it's a cliche statement I do my best to live by it. The last few years as I've watched the world go down, I've tried to be more kind, understanding and compassionate in my daily life. The chaos has made me want to behave better and listen more to the voices of others, I've wanted to understand and so I started to listen.
Thanks again to everyone and god bless you all.
Thank you, all, for being so forthcoming with your personal stories and insights. This is definitely a more trying time than any I've ever lived through, and I feel acutely the difference that having small children in this world has made for me. I teeter between the faith that has carried me through life's difficulties thus far and a new sense of fear, anxiety, and abandonment. Being in my mid-30s, while life hasn't been perfect, I feel like the tests I've lived through are nothing compared to this new world we have entered, in which the stakes are so much higher.
As I mentioned earlier, I sat down for an automatic writing session to try to square with these emotions, and as promised, I dropped the full conversation into a separate post, which you can access here:
Automatic Writing Session Post
I hope it offers some consolation, especially to those of us here who are wracked with worry about what is happening and how we will survive it. I'm thinking of all of you, and sending you light and love.
Hi Lora I brought up sin not in a religious sense, but more in a moral sense. I could've used the word crime, for some reason sin seemed to fit the context of what I was saying best, I thought. I also rejected the moral and religious beliefs of my parents, there's something incredibly shallow and ridiculous about dogmatic belief systems.
Hi Lora I am sorry for misunderstanding. I was brought up kind of religious, kind of not. My husband is in the process of losing friends who are religious Trump voters, all because he happened to speak off the cuff one day and mock Trump. I have a real problem with religious fanatics of all stripes, they're cult like in their thinking pattern. Years ago I read American Fascists by Chris Hedges, where he goes undercover and infiltrates the religious right, it's a scary book to read. Right now I think about the damage the religious right does around the world and I see red. Sometimes I like to think about the more pure side of religion, I can't imagine that if Jesus were around today he'd approve of Christianity. I just wonder how everything gets so corrupted.
But anyways
enough on this
Natalie
Thanks for this great thread. I agree that Jesus would be appalled at the Christian Right and all the wars fought in his name.
On the other hand, he might be pleased that the world's Christian religious leader, the Pope, was standing up to all the greed and racism. And being a wise man, I wonder if he'd just say that the world hasn't changed much since his day.
Hello everyone! I just read every post on this thread and I want to share my feelings about it and I will try to say it as clearly as possible :)
What I see that is common is fear...a lot of you are worrying and are fearful and are trying to take on the problems of the world and I would just like to remind you or point out that that's not why you're here. Let's remember that we are souls first, we are here to learn and progress, and we have chosen to be alive in this exact time period, precisely to help during this enlightenment. I understand that it's completely overwhelming right now, there's so much going on, so many wrongdoings, so much suffering but be assured that every one is in his or her spot, in the exact place they are meant to be for events to take place. The only thing we can do - that we must do is focus on ourselves and our soul path. We are all drops in this ocean, and all of us doing our part and being part of it, can make waves. Worrying and fearing only feeds into more worry and fear. I would urge all of you to focus on the good things in your life, to observe what is going on without getting too emotional about it, to do what you love, to love, to express love, to be loving - that is how we survive, how we effect change, how we turn things around. There really isn't a stronger force in the universe than love.
Vida, I've read your automatic writing post and it's amazing! Those are words to live by! Just surrender...surrender your fear, your anger, your sense of hopelessness...every kind act counts - don't doubt that. You have your automatic writing and I am blessed to be able to communicate with my spirit guide and that's exactly how he would answers those questions if I were to ask him. When I read the questions, I already knew the answers and I know one thing that has been true in my life - spirit is always right. There is a divine order to everything, the universe knows what it's doing, and there are other beings here that will take care of things...that's why we don't need to look for retribution or karma...and true power is not material, it's your soul's growth and spirituality...sure it may seem that these rich people have it all but they don't. We are eternal souls and there are many, many other lessons to learn and karma to balance.
I went thru the anger, the fear, the sense of hopelessness too but then I figured out that it was only making me feel worse and not actually helping anything. When I asked for help all I kept hearing was - focus on yourself - this to me means focus on your path, on your soul, on your growth - not in a selfish way but in a productive, loving way so that your soul's essence radiates and helps heal others. Love and light to you all~
While I was on retreat, I did another timeline which I just posted on the predictions page under Latest Predictions - a new section I've added near the top of the page so you can keep latest predictions separate from what you've already read.
Part of the scan was of Trump. It totally agrees with Zoron's scan, except his is more detailed and in depth and mine follows a timeline.
The crisis for Trump seems to happen in December of 2017, but sometimes I'm a little wary of the accuracy of visions when we have already looked at that time period a lot and that can cause errors. One of us had a vision two years ago that in December 2017 the Congress would be roiling over what to do with the President. I believe that we can unconsciously start seeing variations of an original vision if we get it into our head that December 2017 is the date it will all happen. That is how we got it so wrong that Hillary would win. I'd like to find a group of people who have never read our visions and see what they see when guided through the timeline.
With that caution in mind, I nevertheless saw that December 2017 is when Trump's crisis is strongest. Logically it seems so soon, given that the special prosecutor has just been appointed.
More important is that the following month (in January) I saw a single thumb up. I took that to mean that the Congress voted on whether to impeach and the President was spared by a small majority. He is nevertheless diminished in stature and even mentally losing it. For the month of October 2017, I'd seen everything go sideways for him, which is to me a sign of severe mental distress.
I also did a scan of Robert Mueller, and would like to expand that reading when I have more time. What I got so far is posted in the same section of latest visions.
I got many other visions going out to 2026. What stands out in my mind, as well as the others seen so far, is that the Republicans will likely win again in 2020 because of their advantage with funding, gerrymandering, voter suppression, actual suppression of votes cast, bombarding the Internet with negative messages, and other shenanigans we may not even know about. Many in the public at this point are resigned to the corruption and have moved to run their own programs locally. Over time, masses of people move north and off the grid.
The post Trump aftermath brings on a harsher reality.
It is as if the Republican leaders and their Oligarch funders are determined to get a stronger tighter grip on the throat of democracy once Trump has become quiet. While the federal government becomes colder and harder, however, there is a rising tide of blue liberalism that at first works outside of the system. So while some people feel depressed and beaten down, there are some who are gaining in optimism and strength. You have to look at the broader patterns to see what is going on.
But there is a turn-around.
Thank you, Jeanne, for this latest scan. Much appreciated.
