@deborah-carey Love your quote! Very calming for us all. Please note, we can't support photos at this time.
@joeym. I have been feeling anxious for a while now, anxious and expectant, as if I’m waiting for another shoe to drop in this calamitous year. From the beginning of the month, I felt that something momentous would happen in August. Was it the Post Office scandal? The Senate intelligence report about Russian interference in the 2016 election? Russia paying bounties for dead American soldiers? I’m still stuck in anxiety mode, so it hasn’t happened yet. Or maybe I’m just picking up the anxiety of the collective.
I am not sure what it is either, but have felt that something is coming too, hence all the "prepare for a natural disaster" posts I have made. We are certainly having some BIG natural disasters. The gulf coast tis really going to get hit hart with the 2 hurricanes. California and a lot of the west is just dealing with horrific fire conditions and destruction.
But, is there more? Is this what I am picking up on. Is it a BIG event of some sort or a layering of events. The pandemic was one big event but with multiple layers effecting many different things.
If it is political, what are we preparing for?
@jeanne-mayell sorry about that.. ummm by the way.. I can see a blue sky from here.. first time in several weeks.. air quality is now just poor, and not hazardous.. I am in the SF bay area.. as a point of reference. the animals have calmed down also, and it smells better.. thought a bit of good news might be in order.
@deborah-carey No worries, please! It was a beautiful photo, but with all the web issues lately (Which I think I'm making headway on), I am trying to minimum page load and photos are big files.
I've been experiencing a vision of Gaia–it's Earth as seen in the famous photo from the Moon, the same colors, but they're infused with a delicate shell-hued pink and light blue. If you look a bit closer, beneath the clouds, there is a fine grid of gold that envelops the globe, and the whole thing is alive and vibrant.
I asked if this was a glimpse of the future, and no, it feels like now. But how can that be, I wondered, when our planet is buffeted by so many shocks from global warming.
Nevertheless, Gaia is there, in all her beauty.
I'm not sure what to make of this, or how to reconcile it with the current state of the world and the US in particular.
@gbs That's so beautiful, gbs! I think we're so in the midst of the chaos of it all that we can't see that our earth is being protected spiritually. It all starts with spirit, and then ultimately ends up in the physical realm. So that's my take ... you are seeing the transformation of our planet starting in the spiritual world and, ultimately, it will manifest in the physical, too.
I was doing some cards today and while I was getting not the greatest answers to some of my questions, I was extremely heartened by the resounding positive answers I got to my questions about our planet.
I asked:
1. Will we be able to restore our planet from the damage we've created? The card that came up is 9 of pentacles, always a positive one for me. It represents a garden of abundance and beauty, what we'll be able to help our planet become once our hearts, minds, and will transform globally.
2. Will Earth survive, heal, and replenish? I got the ace of cups, which to me represents abundance and opportunity, renewal and new beginnings. So I take this as a resounding yes.
3. Will humanity survive this time of change and continue on our planet? I got two cards, the 9 of cups (which to me represents happiness, satisfaction, and fulfillment), and page of cups, which I always see as an offer of goodwill and a representation of genuine love. It tells me that we are an integral part of this planet, and humanity will continue.
My reading did surprise me in a good way, because I wasn't getting particularly encouraging answers in some other areas (we're still in for a bumpy ride), but the light and beauty these cards suggest for our planet resonates with your vision of gold, pink, and blue. I am happy to hear you say it starts now!
@leona
Just wondering if the number 4 could be for Nov. 4, the day after the election.
I get most of my clues about the future in dreams, most of them personal and very helpful. Recently I have been dreaming about other people and situations as if I were them. For example some time ago I dreamed that my wife and I were approached by someone to assassinate the king. They laid out a plan that was completely naive and unworkable. It was bound to fail. On waking, I didn’t know what to think, but since I had no plan to assassinate anyone, I thought I must be experiencing it from someone else’s perspective. I think it had to do with the two young people that were apprehended trying to access the white house. A stupid plan.
Last week I postulated that I wanted to dream to understand Trump in some way. It was followed by two dreams.
In the first I am planning to leave the country, surreptitiously, with my wife and two women. I am late to the prearranged meeting place and they leave without me. They cross the border with no trouble, but when I arrive, I am stopped and arrested. Even though I am being led away by two policemen holding my arms, I simply cannot believe it is happening. My mind will not allow it and denies the reality of the moment. Sounds like Trump, right?
So perhaps Trump will try to escape, Melania and two women succeed, but Trump will be stopped at the border. I don’t know which border. It felt like Canada, however I live only ninety minutes from there and that is the border I am familiar with.
In the second dream I am trapped in an urban area, where people are horribly sick, hemorrhaging in fact. I am also sick and bleeding, but not as sick as the others. I see a bleeding father running down an alley, leaving his bleeding toddler behind. The toddler is trying to get to his father. I am completely unmoved by this scene, it has nothing to do with my survival. Sounds like Trump again. I am desperately trying to escape with my life.
This dream was horrible to experience. If it is metaphorical, then it could represent Trump trying to escape the corona virus boondoggle. Or perhaps his health is worse than we know. He may actually feel he is running for his life. Hopefully we won’t have a hemorrhagic fever epidemic.
@wnicholson Thanks for sharing these reassuring visions about justice over Trump. I pay attention to your dreams because I remember how accurate your Read the Future Night visions were back in 2017 or 18 when you once joined us. Second, I have also had visions of Trump and family members trying to escape, some successfully. It looked like they were escaping by boat and ended up in a castle or great stone house on a cliff overlooking the sea. I thought it was Greece but could have been any number of places.
Thank you Jeanne. I am freeing up my schedule so that I can be more involved in the future.
This isn't so much a dream as an odd experience with meditation, but it did occur while I was sort of sleeping, so I'm putting it here. ;-)
I have a 2+ hour healing meditation recording that is designed to be used when I go to bed. The actual meditation part is only the first 15-20 minutes, and the rest is affirmations related to health, wellness, and healing of all kinds: physical, mental, and emotional. I'm usually conked out before the end of the meditation part, but I just let it play as I sleep after that. I usually wake up at some point before it ends and simply turn it off and go back to sleep.
Last night, however, was a little strange. I had fallen asleep toward the end of the meditation part as usual, but at some point during the affirmations, I was suddenly aware of the voice speaking in my ear, but it wasn't in English. I have no idea what language it was in, but it sure as heck wasn't English. My brain kicked in and woke me up a bit, and the next two lines were also in whatever language it was speaking, and then suddenly it was back to English.
The thing is, I've listened to the whole recording while awake, and the whole thing is in English, so I have no idea what happened or where my head went during the meditation part, but it was just....really odd.
I'm going to use it again tonight, and if it happens again, I will 1) let y'all know, and 2) stop using it because that's really weird. ;-)
On a completely unrelated note, but this situation reminded me of this story:
Many years ago I was visiting a friend in Montreal. Almost everything in Montreal is in French, and it's important to note that I know perhaps 10 words in that language - simple greetings, thank yous, and a few numbers - but I am nowhere close to even being conversational with it. Anyway, my friend and I went out for dinner one evening and had (more than) a few drinks, so while I was not drunk, I was at least a few sheets to the wind. As we were going back to his house on the Metro, I realized that I was not only reading the print adverts in the Metro car, I *understood* what I was reading - in French, a language I do not speak, read, write, or understand. That was the moment that I realized that language is nothing more than an overlay on our consciousness, and I am convinced that it should theoretically be possible - via hypnosis or whatever means - to "download" full fluency in any language known to man.
Okay, so I said I would let you know, so here it is. Yes, it happened again. It's just soooo strange. This time when it happened I woke up completely pretty quickly, but it still took three or four more sentences for me to be able to decipher English out of it again. I think part of it is that the woman doing the meditation and affirmations has a slight New Zealand accent. I watch a lot of music and TV videos from Australia/New Zealand/UK, so I'm used to hearing and ignoring the various accents. However, it appears that unless I'm fully awake and focused, my brain simply can't interpret/comprehend some of the ways she says words with her accent, so instead of deriving any meaning from them, my "hearing filters" translate it as gibberish. Anyway, I'm going to see if I can find a different one because it's just messing with my head now. ;-)
@deborah-carey Thank you for posting this. It is what I hold onto when I need some Hope.
Also this one, from the book of Isaiah, 11:6-9. It also is a promise of Peace to come.
The wolf will live with the lamb, the leopard will lie down with the goat, the calf and the lion and the yearling together; and a little child will lead them. The cow will feed with the bear, their young will lie down together, and the lion will eat straw like the ox. The infant will play near the cobra's den, and the young child will put its hand into the viper's nest. They will neither harm nor destroy on all my holy mountain, for the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the LORD as the waters cover the sea.
@grace Thank you for sharing your reading about climate change! I swing back and forth between wondering how humanity will ever solve such a huge challenge to feeling like we will end up applying our collective ingenuity and finding ways to mitigate it in a positive way.
I often have dreams that stay with me but I'm not sure what they always mean. Last night, I dreamed I was with my mother and we were in a church. It felt like it was far away in a war torn country. Everyone was dressed in military clothing. I could hear war noises in the distance but felt no immediate danger as long as we stayed in the church. I felt unease and not entirely safe but momentarily secure. My mother wanted to see the stained glass window in another room. There were no closed doors only entry ways so I could see the window partially that she wanted to go to. I was then in another room alone and everyone was sleeping on the floors still in military clothing. I could hear people running in panic every so often but then people settled to rest. Then in my dream I fell asleep there unsettled. I woke up in the dream looking for the room with the stained glass where my mother was and instead called her on my cell phone chastising her for falling asleep there. After reuniting with her, we were leaving the church and were joined with others almost like a military unit ready to go out into the war torn area. Our object was to get home safely and not get injured. Things were getting more aggressive with people fighting among themselves even in our unit. We were just setting outside the protected area when my cat woke me up wanting her breakfast. For some reason that dream has stayed with me all day.
