@tgraf66 well my friend, if that’s where you are right now, then that’s where you are right now. Not to bring the footprints in the sand parable to you but allow me (us) to carry you through this time as you have carried us from time to time :-).
@dannyboy I come here often when I see things in the news to see if anyone here has any insights into what's happening, but it seems as though no one on this side or in spirit is paying attention to current events. While I do occasionally have a flash of something, I'm really not much of an intuitive. I know that sometimes we just have to keep going in spite of everything and often we can't see why things happen the way they do, but a hint or three from those on the other side who do have a larger perspective would be nice, preferably something more than generic platitudes.
@tgraf66 Well - I try to make it a point not to leave the house with any of my platitudes on empty and I keep my generic platitudes on a special shelf that's not for posting in forums, but to your point on predictions, I do get intuitive predictions from time to time, and on this particular note I'm not seeing anything that hasn't already been said here. Volatility for a time before leveling out. Even Jeanne's cocktail napkin reading (I know Jeanne, I know!) had the first part of 2023 being a bottom of sorts - I know she read it as late 2022 but I never looked at that thing without my brain correcting it to the first half of 2023 and I feel like I'm vindicated in that read :-)
@dannyboy, I totally agree with "volatility for a time before leveling out." Not just specific to the economy, but across the board, in virtually every area of our collective lives. No wonder we're all exhausted and, at times, feel dispirited. During those times I remind myself, "I've felt this way before. Just let go and ride the wave." The one thing I'm still learning is how to distinguish between intuition and my own, very human, inner agendas. I do believe that the more I let go, the more I sense I am being divinely guided. For as intuitive as I believe I am (or sometimes not, LOL!), life is still a holy mystery. And I remain hopeful for our future.
Hmmm. I am not sure I have ever gotten a condescending message from Spirit. Vague yes. Never condescending. I certainly haven't felt the energy of visions and messages being condesending either. Even the messages for humanity I've received have been about love, hope and encouragement.
I haven't always understood why I get certain visions (a monkey with a crown on it's head comes to mind) but that is just part of the mystery. They can be fascinating and remind me of brain teasers. They are also like video games where you understand how to solve puzzles on level one, only to level up and start learning a new concept on the next level. I think we sometimes need to build new skills in order to have better communication with Spirit.
About the Economy, I've have a steady feeling that while things may be a bit of a roller coaster ride for awhile, they will even out. It will take longer if the Republicans continue to foolishly mess with the debt ceiling however. Also, most of the retail bankruptcies are for stores which have not adapted to current consumer shopping trends and are no longer relevant. I rarely found something I needed or wanted at Bed Bath and Beyond anymore but could unusually find something ideal at Target just down the road.
