I am a longtime member who seldom, if ever posts. However, I wanted to add my thoughts on the energy of the collective and of my own energy right now. Oppressive is the word that comes to mind when I try to describe how the general collective feels. And so sad. I don't see or feel the fear that I dealt with earlier in this crisis. I have this feeling that we are witnessing the new beginnings. We are at the very early stages of a shift from the old to the new and the old has to fall first. But, we are closer now than ever. I'm old and I know I chose to come to earth to be here at this time. I have a role to play but I don't know what that role may be. Perhaps, I will be a lightworker or at least help calm those who are frightened by the changes. It will take years to build the new society based on a more inclusive, loving, diverse, and spiritually aware world. But, I feel as if we are now passing through the worst days and that hope lies on the other side of these rough days.
@gbs Yes, I think so. I think so because I feel it. My emotions, finally, work with my thoughts, rather than against them. I think, finally, that I am maturing after flailing for so long. This time is saving humanity by requiring humanity to saddle up and ride right.

So glad to know that we are not the only ones feeling this! I mentioned my younger daughter. I believe she is an empath (she is 10) and through this whole time during lockdown, I know she has trouble sleeping and stays up at night, then sleeps long in the morning. But last night, she woke me up at 1:30 a.m. and was just crying and was telling me how sad she is and how it seems like this will never go away (oppressive, indeed!) We talked for a long time and ended up in a better head-space, but I think she just felt it even harder last night. I am encouraged to read your various words of hope that we are at the bottom and turning a corner...to hang on and things will get a bit brighter up ahead. It is hard enough to be patient as an adult feeling this - even harder to explain to a child.
something in the air. Last night I was informed that my debit card, linked to my bank account, was being used. At least the bank caught it. Okay.
Yesterday I was bullied and harassed because someone mentioned a derogatory term I had never heard of. This was on my own page, nothing to do with any political group or anything. This was a so-called friend. I said, in England that means....well you would have thought I was the antiChrist. This guy called me a racist, said I was lying, and wouldn't let up. Of course I reported him which did me NO good at all, and I blocked him. FB said the photo wasn't against community standards. What photo? I reported text. And you have nor recourse.
Then the creme de la creme - a terminally-ill woman who is in a group of mine, whom I have met, and whom I have endeavored to help today posted on my page some dreadful conspiracy theory, pro you know who of course, which invited a lot of other idiots to post their fears of socialism and how you know who is the only one who cares about America.
So I messengered her and told her if these were her beliefs, I'm unfriending and blocking her, and how dare she put anything like that on my page. I also said I was sure these responders accepted Social Security, unemployment money, and health care.
She just picked the wrong time.
Welcome to our tribe. I am always so happy to see new like minded readers join in with new energies and positive, affirming beliefs.
A lot of us are in our later decades. You'd be pleased to know just how many. I am 70 and I can assure you our years here and life experiences and most of all--all those life lessons we had to learn the hard way and taught us how to keep going even during the most challenging of times!
Looking forward to getting to know you ❤
Oh my goodness! That's so much, too much, and so glad you did what you needed to do even if it didn't work out properly.
I've only had bits and pieces of that hut my hormones took a bit of a "what?" surge which then triggered an instant headache which triggered a hot flash. And then my phone malfunctioned because my energies had super spiked. I figured if i kept it up the lights would go flicker or a light bulb go "pop" and fizzle.
Then I had a really good laugh at it all and how ridiculous we humans are!! ???
May tomorrow be a MUCH better day. ?
Michelle, I'm nearly 69 and I am so thankful that I am the age I am now. If I had been a young person when this all happened, I don't know if I could have survived it all. I really feel as if I chose to be here, now, for some purpose. Things are scary but there are also good things coming....I believe this deep in my heart.
