Thanks for posting that, shijing. Very interesting and lots of things to ponder about, from a slightly different angle.
Joy Shared said:Hello,
maybe, just maybe one could relate the increase of mental, functional glitches to the Mercury retrograde period which just ended today.
These 3 weeks were crowded with confusion, second thoughts,cancellations, etc.
The good news is that starting from tomorrow Mars turns retrograde and the day after tomorrow (no pun intended) Saturn.

Thank you.
Mr. Scott said:So, a weird thing happened today.
We were sitting at breakfast, and Laura got another new book to read for her research/writing project. The title was "Studies of [SOMETHING]". Andromeda read the title as "Suicides of [SOMETHING]".
This struck me as rather interesting, because just 2 days ago, I was reading an article, and my brain sort of automatically replaced a word in the article with "suicide", which caused me to stop, rewind, and reread.
Then Possibility of Being told me 2 minutes later that while translating something, she accidentally translated some word into "suicide". This made the sentence incomprehensible, which she later discovered and went, "Huh?!"
Now, none of us are feeling suicidal, so it was an especially interesting coincidence that it happened to 3 people within a matter of days.
Then suddenly I remembered the recent banker "suicides"...
Is it some kind of beaming going on? Or maybe some kind of mass subconscious warning? I mean, I imagine if things get bad, there will be a LOT of people offing themselves, unfortunately. Maybe people are really feeling "it" coming. Or maybe it is some kind of beaming to activate something in some people, and the rest of us just receive it as "word processing errors".
Has anybody else noticed this particular brain error (or something similar) lately?
Cyndi said:I notice that this occurred around the middle of the month. The first thing I thought when I read the post was " Beware the Ides of March" so I checked the date you posted. Ides is the approximate middle of a month. Ides is also a word that can be formed from the word suicide. So is iced and sued, come to think of it- which goes well with the bankers and death. Maybe it is a deep grammatic association of some sort?
Also, the Ides of March are related to Caesar, which has been of recent interest to the group also. Subconscious association perhaps?

Indeed! Very interesting excerpt, which sure fits the current times doesn't it? Thanks for posting this, Shijing.
An animal can indeed commit suicide. So can a race or a species. The dignity of a spirited life demands that a certain quality of experience be maintained.

When I awoke--I didn't move a muscle, except for breathing. I thought "what is there to wake up for?" and I continued to lie completely still for hours, until dusk around seven PM.

So maybe just a blood rush. Although they would happen quickly while I was still. I haven't had any of those quick ones recently, though.

Hm.. that is quite strange. I can also relate to this. But in my case it happens that I get this ear ringings, but not because of a blood rush. It is like I intercept very high freq signals, and when they ring it feels like someone is clicking a Morse code. It is not a constant ring, it is interrupted by intervals.

I too have noticed ringing the past couple of weeks. After not experiencing it for awhile. However, I do live in an apartment complex with wifi. My Job as well has wifi going all day.
