I'd like to add that we shouldn't underestimate the power of ripple effects that result from our actions and even our very thoughts. For example, if you put some things into your own words here on the forum, or open up and share etc., you kind of add to the groove and make it more easy for others (including you in the future!) to do the same.
Also, as someone who lives "out there" and takes part in "normal life" in many ways, I think it's important to remember that it's not about where we are, but who we are and what we see, as the Cs said. Yes, it's easy to get sucked into the traps of what is considered "normal", but if you can nourish that higher place in you no matter the circumstances, you can avoid it. Also, normal life can take many forms, some more toxic than others - we often have a choice in what we engage in, with whom we engage, where we live, what we want to give to life every day etc. I think it's the little things that count most - like if you are in company of people who all bury their brains in their smartphones, don't. If people always go the easy way, don't follow. If people are gossiping, don't engage and so on. It's an uphill battle, but every little decision in the right direction strengthens our "antennae" and our connection to the group. Because it nourishes this place in our psyches that is "not normal", i.e. "in this world but not of it".
To a certain extent, I think that it’s good to create boundaries and remove ourselves from certain negative people but I also think that we shouldn’t discount those that aren’t exactly ‘all there’ either. It’s not just here that the power of ripple effects cascade, but also out beyond and into the ‘normal world’. In fact, even more necessary than previous years as everything descends into madness. Living in a ‘righteous’ way - and by that I mean being true to your values, being, living by example. Don’t just say stuff and not do it. Do it! People
do notice that. And I think that has far reaching effects that can influence things in unpredictable but good ways.
That’s one of the things that I think makes people like Jordan Peterson and Putin stand out so much and people attracted to them. Although they don’t have the whole picture (nobody does), for all intents and purposes they live according to principles that can be considered virtuous and stick to them. In a time where such principled people are lacking I think it becomes even more of our responsibility to also live in such a manner and provide at some level an example of what real being and real life is like.
So those out there mingling with ‘normal life’ have a real opportunity to do that. Both in working on oneself but also providing the inspiration to others in your circle that aren’t part of forum. Every interaction with another can affect them in ways we have no idea about. Sure it can be lonely but one doesn’t have to agree on every point or be ‘super aware’ to provide connection and community with another person. It’s more like, being a beacon for those that have the possibility of wanting something better for themselves and showing them that it's possible. I'm not saying that we need to convince a group of rowdy teenagers that they're melting their brains away with EMF but sometimes, people need a bit of help because they don't know anything else but they want to. They are just as trapped and hopeless because they feel that's all there is and don't know what else to do.
Yes, there is the danger of getting 'lulled' back to sleep but it seems to me more and more each day that those that have made the choice to wake up are forced to
see things much faster than before - there isn't much room for fence sitting these days and the price one pays for opening their eyes to seeing what's ahead is that you don't ever get to go back...

As for the session – wow!
One of the things I’ve been wondering about was my ancestors. This will forever remain a mystery as I’ve hit dead ends on both my parents’ sides. I have been thinking about my step-father’s side of the family. Although there’s no blood relation, there could be connection in some form or other with a good ancestor.
But then again, perhaps one doesn’t need to look that far back?
@loreta asked this
question and it got me thinking….. and my thinking is that no, we don’t need to look that far back. While the recently deceased aren’t
technically considered ancestors, the values and virtues they demonstrated during their life are just as valuable, if not even more so since it’s likely you have been witness to them. Besides in 5d there is no time anyway.
Joking aside, I know that both my great grandmother and aunt were virtuous people of outstanding character and that I can ask them for help anytime. So if you don't have any ancestors to call upon, I think that as long as it's someone that you really looked up to or valued (and wouldn't even have to be related) that is good too and perfectly reasonable substitute.
