@ loveendures, I’m so grateful to you for bumping this thread.
@tgraf what you wrote in both your posts are how I feel and know in my highest spiritual states.
Thanks to your reminder, while I am now sitting here in eastern Massachusetts, listening to rain for two days and anticipating Hurricane Lee’s approach, I am not afraid.
You brought me back up to my highest consciousness and told me what I have known: that we came here for this. I do not regret taking for granted the weather of my childhood because I have always treasured nature, woodlands, the rain and the magic of our earth. I am so grateful that climate change has raised my understanding of how mother earth protects us and has created this garden of Eden for us. How the Gulf Stream has been the heart pump of our earth's circulatory system and how trees are the lungs. It’s true that the weather can be horrendous, but we are still in a garden. And I am grateful that I appreciate the gift.
I know we will evolve and become the nature-loving, earth-protecting beings, we were always meant to be once we grow up.
I also know that the toddler people in this world who live in a rogue cult of a political party, will soon learn that their infantile behavior is born of hubris. And hubris is the flaw that brings down the mighty. I also know that they are in the last gasps of a dying decaying philosphy.
This morning’s most read new story in the, Boston Globe wasn’t about the catastrophic floods in the middle of the state, nor about the unimaginable tragedy and suffering of Morocco’s earthquake and Libya’s floods. It was about how GOP congressional Colorado representative Lauren Boebert was kicked out of a musical theater performancein her home state capital (Denver) for rowdy and offensive behavior. It wasn't a fight that made her act out. It was just that she doesn't know how to behave in public and she was ruining the performance for others in the audience. I watched the video of her being told she had to leave. She was dressed in a tight gawdy Hollywood dress, her breasts popping out with maximum cleavage, as if she thinks she’s some Hollywood starlet with long hair trailing down her low cut dress.
The reason it was the most read article in today’s Boston Globe, is because the people of Massachusetts think she is an outrageous political freak and wondered what spectable she had created while watching a performance. This debauched behavior of a member of Congress exemplifies the end of a political movement in its final gasps. It is GOP Babylon.
I too experienced, waking up with dread over several mornings last week, and had to do a mental check to see if there was anything in my life. I had not had that feeling for over a decade wondered what it was about. I was dreading at the moment, and I could not think of anything except 911 that was bothering me. Then lovendures, called me to find out if I’ve been feeling dread--she'd been conducting a survey-- and we compared notes, along with other moderators and seers.
I think it’s a lot of things going on in the world and we’re feeling peoples pain. I think @tgraf has it right. I’m going to keep tgraf’s incredible posts to remind me of the beauty of all this.
@deetoo and the rest of the posters on this thread.
I too have had awakenings (always around 3:30am) with heavy feelings of despair and frustration. I thought it was just me, the ongoing pain from the fall, although luckily no fractures or torn ligaments etc, the pain has been worse at night. I use a lot of homeopathics and healing meditations as well as giving in and taking an NSAID fairly constantly for a while. & I couldn't type without pain!!!! That, thank heavens is better. The pain is not as bad, but there are bouts with it and I keep forgetting and moving my left arm in ways it no longer likes! 😳 But healing continues - mentally/emotionally as well as physically.
I am also auto immune from a rare blood dis-ease and that med had been recently upped because my platelets were once again in a danger zone. Cue intense fatigue and even more bone pain - gee thanks supposed med! However, I have a new hematologist I just love, not just a doctor but a healer! (finally!!) when I told her I used Turmeric as a pain manager (the previous two docs both not quite rolled their eyes) My new doc (a woman yea!!) just smiled and said "My culture has been using Turmeric for pain and other things for hundreds of years." She is East Indian and boy did her eyes twinkle when she said that.
ANYWAY I thought it was all just me having a pity party! well, that and the HEAT...tho not as bad as @lovendures is experiencing in Phoenix. At worst I think here in Tucson we were 113 and Phoenix way more days and way hotter --up to 116.
It SO helps to know that others were also being hounded by what I think of as the "dragon of despair wakeup." Dreams were unpleasant as well—nothing I could pinpoint but oh so debilitating a combination of physical pain waking me up and deep sorrow shadowing the wakeup. Interestingly the pain in the arm always stopped once I sat up, or got up and walked. I tried to use that as a metaphor for the despair as well, just get up and chant or listen to my fave, Josh Groban (a true healer and a marvelous person I met him in '05 along with a group of school children ages 6-16 with my friend, their teacher, and he spent nearly an hour with us...)but I digress, and will just say Spirit has given me many messages about JG, his past lives, visuals of his voice bringing plants to life, and I have had vivid dreams where he has shared his soul intent to heal through the tone and power of his Voice and that thought I only share rarely) & no, there is no literal this-life person-to-person friendship nor any direct contact since '05, I am just an intuitive fan and most likely in his spiritual soul family. OK too much JG probably. Where was I?
Ahh. Depression. Fear, the miasma of darkness that so many are describing even here, in this place, this Community of great Light. We need to remember that being intuitive does not necessarily mean being upbeat and cheerful all the time, or that we do not sometimes lose ourselves in the mist of shadows. It does, I think, make it harder for the many empaths here to endure. I had to remind myself to "turn down the etheric radio" and re-affirm VALIDATE what WILL BE instead of only struggling with the "right now fear" as the dark ones pitch last ditch attempts to hold onto power. What we think DOES matter. If we give in to the dark shadows of a globe-full of evil souls and their attempts to encompass the world, then we add to the shadows. It is hard. I know. I had to remind myself of the teachings I led for years: Acknowledge the bad, the sad, the fear, the anger, the whatever negative. Give yourself an hour, and just immerse yourself in the "stuff." Use a pillow and hit it. Throw it. Scream your anger and fear. I scream at God/Spirit all the time, Mother/Father God can handle our angst, so scream at God if you want. If the negatives are not acknowledged how can we release them and move on? Stuffing emotion and/or negative vibrations only gives those emotions and "vibes" more power. It feeds them. So emote it out of your body and then in-fill with positives... Love, Joy, Laughter, TRUST/FAITH, Understanding, and so on.
I know. I l know, the vibes wake us up and it's like, again? Again? I have to get this out of me AGAIN? But yes, we do. There's a lot of talk in our culture about "taking back power" so do that Spiritually. Once you have acknowledged the bad stuff, released it and filled yourself up with GOOD stuff, then you send it out to help others and it returns manifold. We are here at whatever our ages are BECAUSE WE AGREED TO BE HERE AT THIS TIME. Because powerful Communities like this website Jeanne created for us here with the literal technology, mapped on the digital highway and etherically compounding our individual Positive Energies into a GRAND GLORIOUS HEALING wave of Knowledge, Light, Love, Laughter, & Compassion that we send out across Mother Earth, and into humanity. And last, because my left arm is beginning to complain and wants to not be reaching and typing, we must allow ourselves to feel the negatives, momentarily, transmute them through acknowledgement and conscious release in order to truly be in Earth reality and then, we can and we WILL continue to create wave after wave after wave of THIS TOO SHALL PASS and OH what a WONDER we will find at the conclusion of this cycle of growth on this planet and with these Souls of Lightness and Love.
We are the Fingers on the Hands of the Everlasting Arms. And those arms embrace and hold us safe as we do the Work.
You all give me Hope and Healing. May I do the same for you.
Namaste. ❤️ 🌼
I literally came here to ask if anyone else had a deep sense of foreboding, and well, here we are!
@billy-mike @tgraff66
I had the same reaction as you to tgraff's message. It resonates clear through.
I haven't been having a sense of dread, but I have been somewhat obsessing over Youtube Meteorologists videos and hurricanes in the Atlantic. Climate news has gone ahead of things like: tfg, Ukraine, inflation, the economy, next years election, for me. Video games pretty much destresses me from it.
Just to respond briefly to @tgraf - I love everything you wrote, but I think Gen X still has work to do even (and maybe especially) outside the political arena. I know your time frame for Gen X stepping aside was not immediate, but I did want to clarify that point. As an older Gen X, I can attest that we have been in transition our entire lives and are in many ways a "bridge" generation. Yet I do feel an energy and excitement in my friends that I have never felt before. I will acknowledge that energy comes along with a side of "are we done yet." Still.
@mkay When I say step back or step aside, I just mean taking a less active role and becoming more advisors than actors. I agree that there is still some more that we need to do, but not much, I think. At this point, I think it's just the final training sessions with Gen-Z before we send them on their way to do what they are uniquely and perfectly situated to do. And yes, there does seem to be a sense of excitement among our age cohort (I'm on the other end of the Gen-X timeline from you), and I'm sure some of it is that sense of "Are we done yet? Can we go home now?". However, I also firmly believe that a good chunk of that excitement is the knowledge that this new generation is going to be able to accomplish what we have tried to do for so long, and we're seriously juiced about it finally coming to fruition. We don't even care that we're not the ones who managed it, just that it's going to happen, and the world is finally going to be that better place that we imagined we could create.
I'm having a brief moment of clarity as the previous dose of meds wanes and the next one hasn't kicked in yet, so I want to say this real quick. I'm not feeling any sense of foreboding here. What I'm feeling is just a sense of "Wait. It's not time yet. You will know when it's time, and it's not here yet. Be patient, practice mindfulness, and be ready to march when the time comes."
