Recently I've been spending little time reading the forum posts. I've been feeling disjointed and overwhelmed for the past two weeks, to the point of feeling oppressive exhaustion. I've had nights of restless sleep and even panic attacks. That was perplexing because I've been meditating, which usually calms me. I do have some health conditions that cause major fatigue, but what I’ve been feeling lately has been so exaggerated that I wondered whether something was about to happen. And then last night I heard the news about Justice Ginsburg. I felt heartbroken, but like @bluebelle, a sense of calm came over me. I still feel that way, even though I know what McConnell plans to do. I’m watching something unfold that I have no control over and I don’t like it. And yet I am calm, because I believe there is divine purpose behind it.
I feel strongly that RBG and Cummings are here with us. Let us trust that all of these higher angels and guides, both on the other side and walking this earth, are ready to work with us. All we need to do is align ourselves with the higher purpose and ask for their help.
Yesterday morning spirit spoke to me. The question spirit raised to me was this: is my peace of mind dependent on whether or not we get rid of the Orange Menace? Is it dependent on our country changing for the better? Because if my internal peace is dependent on these external factors, then I'm in trouble. We all are.
My prayer for all of us is this: that we each find peace within ourselves, but never make peace with the madness we see around us. As @jeanne-mayell stated, Help RBG et al do their work by expanding your own selves in hope. I am calling on the divine feminine to give us the strength and courage to fight this fight. And then step out of the way and allow spirit to take over.
That's so beautiful and profound, Deetoo. Is our inner peace determined by what is going on around us and whether we get rid of the Orange one? If we have peace of mind while the chaos erupts around us, we are stronger as Lightworkers and Heartwarriors, because we can have clarity and purpose instead of fear.

Yes, exactly! Beautifully expressed, @bluebelle.
People forget when they vote for president, that they are voting for federal court appointees, and most importantly, the Supreme Court. This time, the "Biden is boring" or too old or whatever so I don't want to vote for him (or anyone) is not going to fly. I hope that out the sadness from her passing, that it will get many normally complacent people to think about what their vote really means and be more motivated. This morning, I saw a twitter post with a picture of voters lining up early this a.m. to vote and many said were very motivated by her passing, like it woke them up!
Hi Everyone. I don't have much to say except that RBG's passing is scary and I hope she is at peace. I had a very vivid dream a few days ago where I saw that President Jimmy Carter had passed. I woke up so convinced it was real that I immediately checked my phone only to realize that thankfully I was wrong. I don't know why I am putting this out there but I think he may be next to cross over, I hope I am wrong.
Jimmy Carter appointed RBG to the federal bench in the 1980's, so they have a connection. Carter also has had pancreatic cancer.
I have felt that his passing might come at some point in the near future, either his or Rosalynn's, but they are in their 90's so it wouldn't come out of nowhere. Neither attended John Lewis' funeral, so I think they aren't traveling much lately. Could be due to their health or COVID.

What a wonderful reminder of Carter's brave action in appointing RBG to the federal bench. If Ford had won, our federal and Supreme Court rulings would have been gone down a different path. She wouldn't have been the roll model she has become to so many generations of women and young girls. A friend of mine posted a picture last night taken a year or 2 ago of her daughters at the Supreme Court dressed in black robes with white lacy collars. Their mom happens to be a lawyer so I don't doubt they all understand the importance of our beautiful Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
Fight for the things that you care about, but do it in a way that will lead others to join you.

@Bluebelle @lovendures @Deetoo @baba and all of you heart warriors who come here-- The more difficult the situation becomes, the more we are each forced to rise. Oh, I know some of us, including myself, have lost heart at times. But I also know this:
We didn't come to this earth at this time for others to do this work for us. We came here to rise, each one of us. We came here to spread our light and we do that by hearing Deetoo's prayer: My prayer for all of us is this: that we each find peace within ourselves, but never make peace with the madness we see around us.
I have learned from this community that we have each made a commitment to rise, to evolve, to find peace, and to be warriors of heart. As we fulfill that commitment, then our light expands and changes this world.
So we must try to rise in heart strength, in hope, in vision, and encourage each other to rise. Hold each other as we all rise. Put our arms around those who are struggling to rise. That is what you have been doing these past few years and that is what we will continue to do.
And those of you who are sad, who are despairing, please let us know your feelings so we can wrap our arms around you and bring you with us. No light worker left behind.
If the Democrats want to finally start playing the same game the GOP plays, they can use the court stacking as leverage to keep RBGs replacement from being appointed.
If it were my decision, I'd tell Moscow Mitch that if he pushes the appointment, I would stack the courts to 15 and make it an impossible gap for them to ever overcome, but if they let the appointment be from the next administration I wouldnt. That would let the conservatives have the 6-5 majority until the next vacant seat, whereas they lose the majority for decades if not longer if Dems stack it. To avoid it being undone by the next GOP administration, they can also use a law to force the supermajority back permanently to change the number of justices.
After the new administration takes over, then they can decide to stack or not, but they should have no qualms about breaking the deal with Mitch after they get what they want. The GOP does it all the time so its time to start playing on an even field.
@jeanne-mayell I broke in to weeping of Joy and Sadness at once as I read this and all the other points of Light rallying. Yes, warriors can cry.. only the strongest can cry and let it be seen. WE ARE STRONG. I see that this pushing by the Impotus,Mitch McConnell and others....is actually going to backfire on them. RBG not even cold yet and they were plotting... this will be seen in a bad light. It is also a rallying point among young women of all colors and stations. "VOTING.. Ruth sent me" I also think that if they are smart about it... Biden/Harris will offer a nomination of Michele Obama, even if she declines it in the end.. it will rally people against whoever Impotus names. Please do not despair... the roller coaster ride is speeding up and the hills and plunges and turns the wildest yet to come. Hold tight, scream and yell and squeeze your eyes shut as you focus on the outcome if you need to!!!! We WILL slide in to safe harbor... shaken and bounced around and buoyant and giddy with glee that we not only survived...we managed to thrive and make the changes that must be made.
All of us can do our work, however that may Be, without attaching ourselves to the drama unfolding. The calm ones understand. We have a lot of help. We are also the ones that help. Step back, observe, Breathe, Act, or Not. You are here, in your place, currently to do just That.
@jeanne-mayell Thank you. I've lurked on your site for many years. Today I found drawn to the forum seeking comfort after learning about RBG. After seeing this post, I decided to register. Thank you, everyone, for being part of this community and working so diligently for the light.
Did you see all the people mourning for her? They went to the Supreme Court? They went to hold a vigil for her this is how important she is. Are the GOP watching?

Why would Amazon among others donate to QAnon promoting lawmaker, when trump hates Amazon?
@jessi1978 I did indeed!!! She was so very very important. This piece of trash is running in my district... neither he, nor Loeffler nor Purdue needs to be in office. https://www.newsandguts.com/rep-doug-collins-chastised-for-celebrating-ruth-bader-ginsburgs-death/
