How are you feeling?

I stumbled upon the following news in Russian Telegram. The mention of strange dreams in conjunction with an unknown virus is interesting. It can be an example of what people outside of this network are experiencing.

Translated from Russian:

"Temperature 40 and strange dreams: an obscure virus has started to walk across Russia": Russians are attacked by covid, flu, acute respiratory viral infections and other "unknown things" at once.

"Moscow has entered the peak of the season of acute respiratory viral infections: according to doctors, in recent days the increase in the incidence of respiratory viral infections has reached 30%, the streets and subways are again full of sneezing and coughing people. And although the viruses circulate differently, very often the disease passes with a significant increase in body temperature.

In chat rooms, patients complain about a "strange virus" that runs with a high body temperature. "I have almost 40 on the thermometer, the whole body is aching, I have strange dreams. I can't remember the last time I felt so bad," says Ilya from Moscow. "It didn't start out so bad - my nose got stuffy and I started to feel a little chilly," says Zhanna from the Moscow region. - However, the next day I woke up on a wet sheet, I could hardly get out of bed. I measured my temperature - 39.9. And this high fever remains for almost five days!"

Still quite tired but work has been very hectic the last few weeks, although I start my summer holidays (yay it’s summer down here!) after this week, so that has helped lift my spirits. I also managed a long weekend with my family for my dads 80th which was really nice, I’ve been making a conscious effort to connect more with my family and be more “authentic” warts and all kinda thing and just find joy in being with them.

I am trying to be more grateful for all the positive things in my life which I truly believe is a big factor in people like us being able to cope with what we see around us.

A mantra that comes into my mind when i feel down is, we are the light of the future, we are the ones who will keep the lighthouse lit, who will be there to help those we can. So if you are ever feeling down, for whatever reason, know that we have purpose, we are here for a reason, stay stong brothers and sisters, endure what you have to, keep putting one foot in front of the other, be honest with how your feeling and remember you are part of this community!! And don’t forget to laugh whenever possible :-D :hug2: :cool2:
 
Have to say that I am sorry for not reading through the whole thread. I will.

I was not that active here for the past few months due to health and family issues, although tried to follow current affairs. I just felt need to share some things, and this seems like a right place. I apologize in advance if it's too long 😊

First of all, a few months ago my dad almost died. As doctor said he was one day away from certain death from sepsis. Thankfully, he was always extremely strong, a fighter so he, as doctor said, miraculously recovered. Never in his professional life has he seen kidney values drop so fast, in a day, like his. We all prayed a lot, and I held my crystals near. Fighting my own health battles, this event added to my stress. I was with my mom and dad 24/7 until mom recovered enough to take over the housework and he recover enough and resume a normal life. What a blessing!

Few months later, I had a strange dream. I was in the car, in the passenger seat. It was a cloudy, rainy day and the car was driving along a road along the edge of a hill, overlooking the lower landscape. It seemed like it was going downhill. Suddenly the car started to skid in a slight bend towards the left side of the road. I felt overwhelmed with impending dread. All I could see was the inside of the car turning onto the road, the pine tree in front and the landscape that stretched beyond the pine tree. I felt fear turn into chills and horror as I realized that the car was veering off the road and falling down the slope. In the middle of this fall I suddenly woke up, completely confused and in shock. It all felt so real. Few hours passed, I was on the phone with my dad, when he asked me if I had heard about the car accident late yesterday afternoon that killed two boys. The car went down the hill and they were burned alive. I was stunned. Speechless. I muttered that I haven’t heard and that it was so shocking. I was shaking. Called my husband and told him all about the dream and what my dad told me. Hours passed and articles about the event were arising in the news portals. When the pictures from the crash site appeared, I froze. It was the same pine tree and landscape I saw in that dream. I froze even more when I saw how young they were - 12 and 19 years old. I was crying my eyes out. As I gathered the information I understood that what I saw was through the younger boy's eyes. I had the need to turn to him in my thoughts, comfort him, and point him to the light towards which he can go without fear, where he will be welcomed by entities full of love. Somehow I felt peace. I didn't know those boys. And I can't explain it at all. I was under impression of that event for days.

Then another health problem followed. A terrible pain in the trigeminal nerve which I treated with ibuprofen and large doses of b vitamins. Two weeks later I couldn’t get out of bed, my body didn’t respond. When it finally did I felt sick slightly moving, the window in the room flew in all directions while I was lying still, I couldn't bear the light... I felt the chill that I would remain pinned to the bed. I didn't go to the doctor. Somehow it passed. Did bioresonance and among some issues I have severe mental exhaustion.
Life is a struggle, but also a blessing. Sometimes we fall and need help to get up, and then we are given the opportunity to give back to those who helped us. That's why I love this forum, I can always read something that resonates with what bothers me, and about what I want to learn more.
In this chaos that surrounds us, I am grateful to be here, alive and that I, we have the opportunity to constantly learn from difficult situations.
 
Thanks for starting this thread Joe. i just caught up. Its beens a pretty intense few months. I have certainly had issues with my sleep. Waking up at 3am. generally if I do wake up at 3am, I just got to the gym. its peaceful in the mornings as I am generally the only one there.

Certainly had bouts of melancholy, ranging from quite severe to light, I am seeing and talking to some professionals though and I feel recently I have turned a corner. im quite consistent in the gym, eating habits and I have redirected alot of my energy into my creative projects.

Like others here, its just been a difficult year. however, there has been some really positive developments in that Im seeing my psychological makeup alot more clearly. The disregulation that happens from triggers and am slowly getting an idea of what my true focus is should be moving forward.

Trying to take the external, worldy affairs alot less seriously, by that i mean not taking them to heart. Its very dark at the moment and so im trying to transmute that energy into something more positive.

I have certainly noticed alot of people not in the community are slowly giving in to the idea that the system is broken. Cost of living, worldly affairs, it appears the great australian dream is now un-attainable. There seems to be deep level of discontentment, zombiefied feelings around. Some people are just doubling down on trying to work harder to make up for it.

Personally, I think im finally done with this pressure of trying to build wealth, trying to get ahead. I just dont think I care anymore. I just want to live the best I can, read, create, learn, meditate and spend time with good people. I just cant be bothered with the mental gymnastics of trying to do this or that, so i can one day get a mortgage. Im narrowing my field to focus on weekly time frames/ goal setting and the rest I will leave to the DCM.
 
I posted this in another thread but I suppose it should have gone here. Apologies for the double post, but since this seems the appropriate place…

“If I may add a personal perspective (feel free to scroll past as it’s a highly individual one), I live in a situation where my health becomes a huge factor. I am disabled (13 spinal fusions, can barely walk, and on top of that, advanced liver disease (cirrhosis, which causes cognitive deficits and memory issues due to elevated ammonia in my blood - encephalopathy. Lactulose helps but it has side effects). I have 5 separate doctors I see every month. I also have a negligible income (SSI is less than $900 a month). So I cannot physically prepare, nor can I build a store or grow a garden or relocate. And I live 35 minutes from Hollywood, and literally within sight of the Port of Los Angeles/Long Beach/San Pedro. I can see the giant container ships and the massive cranes from the end of my street. As good a ground zero as any (Beirut explosion anyone?). So I must prepare to accept the worst. Stranded and dependent. So simply running negative outcome exercises is an invitation for falling into negative thought loops. It’s a tough ask.

Long story longer, I must remain a spectator, and simply roll with it, while trying not to get too emotionally invested in any particular thing. That detachment is my survival tool (and a pretty stout sense of humor). Breathing through the looming panic, and reminding myself that I’m here to watch and learn and suffer. I think I’m doing a pretty decent job of all three under the circumstances. I definitely don’t feel sorry for myself. Somewhere along the line I signed up for this. So on with the show.”

So overall I’m rather blue. But I can still find my joy, in music, in books…Monty Python still does the trick. The jokes threads here help. I’m inherently silly. The weather here is such that it’s a treat when we actually have any. I’m not hungry. I have a shelf full of Laura’s books, and recommended ones from the list. I’m still slowly working through From Paul to Mark, as my condition forces me to absorb small portions, lest I wake up with zero recall. I have my cat, who’s doubtless the 2D critter I’d vote Most Likely to Return As 3D (she’s almost human; it’s crazy!). But here I’ve added yet another paragraph to an already lengthy post. Ev, out.

My internet is kind of a slow so I can't find a video from yt about a woman who had a NDE and she was told that 2023 is the last year for something, it wasn't specifically explained what. Whatever it's going to happen, don't know how much influence we have upon it. So why worry? Holidays are approaching, I would like to spend them in nice company, with all of you in thoughts. I hope you all will get well soon.
The odd thing that happen to me lately is that for my support of Palestinian people I ordered their traditional scarf Keffiyeh and after it came in 2 days from China in EU, the package disappeared and now is lost for over a month. Our whole civilization is detoriating and what I'm saying to myself is don't go down with them.
What I discovered this year is that places that I visit in my dreams exist for real! I thought I have this really good imagination so I was disappointed with myself. For example I have a dream town and in one part of the town when I'm in hurry I go through a park. When I was this year in Dublin, my sister wanted to show me some Oscar Wilde statue and his house, but my niece saw a squirrel and was chasing it. I was following them with my camera and I got to this path in park through which I walk in my dreams for years! And the gray building is their national museum. Whatever happens, I think we could dream each other and communicate with each other in dreams. I saw this year an interesting hungarian movie about 2 coworkers who discover they share a same dream, called On Body and Soul.
We made it this far. Have an amazing holidays.

Thanks for your post Evan, it is wonderful to read of your strength of character to carryon. And it is a good story. I’d also love to hear one about cat!

Well if it’s acceptable to put it here, one about Furface. A few years ago, I developed aspiration pneumonia. Total double whiteout. My wife had put me to bed, and gone to sleep. Afterward I aspirated in my sleep. Furface was on the job. She immediately jumped on my wife and woke her and insisted she follow (I was on the couch). Then my wife called the ambulance. I was intubated for 16 days, and released after 27. The doctor told my wife that without a doubt had I been brought in even an hour later, I wouldn’t have made it. He said “That cat saved his life.”. She was barely a year old at the time. She’s 7 now, and her ability to communicate is more surprising every day. Her picture is in the 2D Friends thread. I’ll leave it at that for here. But she’s our joy!
 
December usually seems to be a more challenging month for me, maybe due to some repeating adtrological energy or maybe due to other people around me often being more stressed this time of the year.

About a week ago there was also something like an astral attack on me. I was dealing with an 'inner child fragment' and it kind of dragged my energy down, which opened me up for an attack. This has been the second time within about a year that it happened like that.

I know exactly what you mean.

Maybe ten years ago, I passed three or four times in front of a house, which was in a small town next to the sea, where I was walking with my family.

Whenever I passed by that house, a middle-aged woman could be seen through the window, and she was always reading.

Because of the decoration, the lighting and the feeling, the house seemed to me like the house of a "witch"..., perhaps one of the "good" ones since the atmosphere did not seem bad to me.

But what was really striking about the place was a cat that was always resting in the window of the house.

The cat's face looked almost human, especially the eyes. The look was definitely one of intelligence, it wasn't that of a normal cat.

So I know what you mean when you say that about your cat.
