@deetoo Thank you so much for saying that, I so resonate with it. Hi everyone, I'm new here, this is my first post. I experienced Jeanne's work about 3 years ago and have enjoyed visiting the site and the forum from time to time. I'm feeling compelled to share because I feel I can without being judged or looked at like I'm from another planet (which I probably am anyway).
Around 2017, as a Massage Therapist working in the Virginia/DC area, I experienced a lot of distress through my clients, 90% of them democrats working in the government. They were stressed, angry, fearful, sad and feeling powerless. I myself was dealing with my own feelings of sadness regarding T being elected and all the xxxx that happened afterwards without any consequences for T. He could just get away with anything. I could hardly believe it, being an immigrant that fell in love with America's concern for fairness and respect of all people in 1984 when I then immigrated here.
I decided to meditate on it, find the peace within so I could move on and not let take over my life. While on meditation something happened. I was able to tune in to something bigger than anything that was happening. I seemed to have connected with his Higher self or a part of his soul. And I could see a bigger picture. It was as if the soul made an agreement (to me it seemed like a sacrifice and act of courage) to come forth and play the villain for an evolution to take place. As I understood it, someone have to play the part. He chose it. Out of love for humanity. Part of me still think I made the whole thing up. But I don't care, it brought me peace. I could then feel his loneliness and his own pain and how it felt to be hated by millions of people. In that moment, he became my brother. Tears kept falling as I for the first time, could feel compassion for this man. Yes, he brings out the worst in people. But it was already there and needs to be healed. To me, the darkness shed a light on everything that needs to be changed. He accelerated it. He played his part brilliantly.
I don't share this lightly. In fact, I only did with people that could understand it, not necessarily agreeing with me, but being open to a bigger picture.
Thank you for creating a safe space for sharing. Much love to you all.
The same thing happened with djhanhi (sp). Someone made fun of her postings and she left.
I think she/he needed a safe place.
@deetoo I hear you. Even Jesus got angry. I know I am nowhere near the great teacher and prophet he was. I must admit.. he was more constructive with it than I have been in my lifetime. My suppressed emotions became a rage that ate me alive for quite some time. I actually forgave and let go for my own mental health. Doesn't mean I forgot and allowed boundaries to be run over time and time again as I did. I forgave... for my own sake...and when those who could not honor boundaries came around I learned to either send them on their way or I took my leave. Our actions have consequences... in Trump's case... his.. had a much wider spread.. that being said? He is not escaping them and he will be a broken man when this is over. Doesn't stop the pain and terror he has already caused... or the suffering yet to come. It is good to know... that ..we will rise...we will make a better world...we are all marked by what we have lived here. I confess a small part of me laughed when I heard he tested positive and said just desserts... I forgave myself that...because of my grief the loss of a dear friend to death by covid-19, to my son's long illness with Covid-19..to the other friends I have that have had it.. to the people everywhere in the US... dealing with and fighting with and for us all with out adequate treatment... to the loss of our jobs, and unemployment and the forced early retirement I had to take from a career I dearly loved. I remember my oath and reinforce that I am here for service to others and healing and to alleviate suffering. I don't think we are expected to never get angry, to never judge, to never feel hurt or any of the so called "negative emotions... for.. how do you know light if you have never experienced dark?
Doctor just came out and said its been 72 hrs since Trumps diagnosis. That puts it sometime on Wednesday. He held 2 events since and knowingly exposed people to covid, while still refusing to wear a mask. When people with HIV knowingly infected others who died from it, they were charged with murder. I think the same should apply here.
WOW! Can you imagine what all those rich donors who came to his fundraiser at the golf club on Wednesday must be feeling? They came to air kiss and hug and hand over their money, they get exposed to the virus as a return!
Journey, I think you touched on an important point. Thinking bad thoughts, feeling like we want evil people to get their comeuppance doesn't make a person bad; it just makes us human. If we didn't react the way we do, we would be Jesus! In the end, every one of us will have to own our words and actions. Most people are always striving to be their best selves. I have to believe that.
deetoo really struck me with her comment about calling herself a lightworker. I wonder that about myself all the time. How can I possibly be a lightworker when I have the feelings I do about T. and his minions and supporters? I've never been one to fight evil with a plate of cookies and a feather duster.
Barr has been exposed and is refusing to quarantine.
@polarberry Yes, human nature balances g&e daily. When I say lightworker, I think of it as we all have the ability to send out love and light to ourselves and others. I don’t think that makes us infallible or above others, but a practice in self love especially.
The "Physician to the President" seemed to deliver more a press conference than a doctor's update. He couldn't respond to the question as to whether or not he has received oxygen at all.
Has anyone thrown cards on this yet? I should learn how to do that. I would love to know what this guys intent is. If he was instructed to cover in the interests of national security, then is it a fair thing to do?
I don't know what to believe.
@yogagirl, I'm glad to see you back posting. I've really missed you. I always love your wisdom and humor.
I'm smiling right now as I've been shown a vision of our community -- a growing family of beautiful, imperfect, sensitive, funny,* gifted, struggling, infinitely wise group of earthly souls who want to make this world a better place. We are truly blessed to be here, and to have each other.
*To prove my point about funny,
