Thanks Jeanne! I agree and I hope no harm comes to anyone because of these extremists. The Circle of Light is a great way to send protection and good energy out to those who need it. I don't always interpret my dreams and visions correctly...
The violent people are usually a very small percentage of any population, but in these unprecedented times people seem more fearful and desperate than during normal times. Covid has seemed to inspire the most vulnerable and unstable people in the population in a negative way by increasing their fears and paranoia.
The best way to deal with the paranoia is to avoid clicking on those dark rumors. It also keeps the conspiracy mongers from expanding.
I worked as a publicist once. It is standard practice to quickly to get a few articles in the news because then people think that the content is something everyone is thinking about. It's called "creating buzz."
Last night i dreamt about being at a party, held in a library of an old house. There was this new, experimental stereo thingy that would somehow convert books into music. You just popped any old book into the device, and it would turn it into the most extraordinary music. We tried it with all different kinds of books- The Epic of Gilgamesh, mathematical textbooks, trashy Romance novels, whatever we could find. It would all become this strange new music. And of course, with strange new music, comes strange new dancing! And strange new fashion! Yay!
If this dream is any indication, the post-Covid future is going to be lit!
@unk-p I love love love this dream of yours.
It makes sense too that one form of art easily converts to another art form. Certainly poetry is like music, with its rhythms, but prose is as well. I would love to hear what Dr. Seuss's stories sound like.
I grew up singing, always a song in my head. I always thought from an early age that I'd become a rock n roll singer. But other interests got in the way. When I read poetry before the Circle of Light group, I feel like I'm singing. And when I channel those meditations, I feel again like it's music coming through me.
@unk-p, your dream reminded me that I had a dream I'd like to share. I've had this dream many times in my life, about once every five years even when I was a child. And I had it a couple of nights ago, to my utter delight.
In the dream, I was moving across a field with a bunch of people, only they were all on the ground, some walking, driving, and some bicycling. But I was in the air and I was flying, using just my own body to fly. I don't remember how I made it happen, whether I was flapping my arms or cycling with my legs. I was enjoying it, and every time I have this dream, it feels like I'm just discovering that I can do this.
It took some effort, too, but each time I made the effort, I was absolutely able to fly wherever I wanted. Oddly, I wasn't thinking about what all those people on the ground might think of my ability. I saw them down there, but the issue wasn't about my flying ability. It was a personal self discovery I was having with being able to fly. I kept marveling at how I could absolutely control the height of my flying with some effort.
@jeanne-mayell i have also had those delightful flying dreams. The funny thing is, the other people are always so nonchalant about it- they never seem to notice, or if they do, they just roll their eyes "oh look who's gliding thru the air again- whatever" lol.
Jeanne, i still can't get over the fact that you got to see the Beatles in concert when you were a kid. Did you scream when they came on stage? I am a grown-ass man, but i am pretty sure that i would be screaming like a teenage girl if i saw them!
@unk-p I love your question. I first heard the Beatles in December 1963 when their single I wanna hold your hand came on the radio. I was standing in my room with the radio on when I heard the first measure of George Harrison's guitar, I was stunned. I was fourteen at the time and had been listening to rock n roll since I was three. I was addicted to the radio and knew all the songs by heart. But this was rock n roll at a whole new level! I can still remember the moment I heard it. A Boston disk jockey loved them too and started playing that song repeatedly. Then Meet the Beatles Album came out and my girlfriends and I played it obsessively and covered our textbook covers and notebooks with Beatle pictures. We were 14.
They had not come to the U.S. yet. In downtown Boston a theater showed a closed circuit movie of them performing. The theatre filled up with tweens, and when the Beatles came on the screen, we all jumped up, squealing, laughing and danced the entire time.
Then they came to America to the Ed Sullivan show in February 1964 - a long awaited event. My whole family was gathered around the tv, and when they appeared, I let out a scream which shocked and angered my father. He was so mad at seeing his little girl scream at a bunch of boys, that he got angry and smacked me. He had never ever done anything like that before, and while it was just a little smack, I jumped up, burst into tears, and ran out of the room, missing the whole show.
Later, my remorseful father produced four balcony tickets to the Boston Garden on their upcoming September 12 show. We were stoked by the time the Beatles appeared on stage. And I just remember jumping up from my seat along with 14,000 other young girls and screaming and dancing the whole time.
At one point during their performance, John Lennon squatted down on stage and put his hand to his forehead and panned the whole crowd which then went nuts. I probably lost some hearing from that noise. We could could barely tell what song they were singing, the noise was so loud. I carried the ticket stub in my wallet for ten years.
I also remember the opening performance well which was singer songwriter Jackie DeShannon who sang Needles and Pins and He's got the whole world in his hands - which calmed everyone down. She was this tiny young woman in a mini skirt and long blond hair who used her whole body to pull us together, her arms stretched and clapping over her heard. In spite of her teenybopper appearance, I felt her courage and power. She got her start with that tour and went on to have a great musical career.
You reminded me of my childhood flying dream! I used to have it when I was rather young, regularly. Very similar to yours though mine was just above the yard of our house with no other people around. I flew by doing something with my feet (flapping them back and forth somehow.) I used to have this dream often and vividly enough that when I was awake I would try it out and be rather disappointed that I couldn't get any lift! It was so realistic in my dream.
I used to have flying dreams when I was a child. Those were wonderful. I would fly above some lush, green hills. I grew up in a major city, so it's interesting to me that I was flying above a beautiful nature scene. But I don't believe they were dreams -- I think I was actually flying back then. Wish I could do it now!
@deetoo I too have had many flying dreams, but usually I would just go from standing to a horizontal position and fly at that level, no swirling or swooping or acrobatics, just moving along at a regular pace.When I would wake up from those dreams, for a brief moment, I would think I would be able to fly if I gave it a try.
