What has happened to our world.

[Elfin]

It has been a long while since I've posted anything on here. For the past two and a half years, I have been trying to absorb all of this erratic change. I honestly can not believe what I'm seeing. People don't smile or wave as you pass by anymore. The hate that I see now, the mass of illegals coming in The Democrats , tearing our economy apart, and the list goes on. Most of this has happened in just two and a hale yes. I mean things have been going down hill for quite a while. Now I'm seeing things that shows the end is coming. I am kind of looking forward to it. Moving on to another level where its peace and no worries, and you can learn and grow even more. I do see the world collapsing more every day and it hurts my heart to see what I'm seeing. This has been a lot for me to take in, I'm adjusting excepting it. I don't like it, but here we are.
Thanks for reading. I just had to get this out.

Things really are disheartening, aren't they, Elfin. It's good that you are expressing how you feel, and know that you aren't alone. Plus you have realized there is a difference between 'accepting' something and agreeing with it. That's good.

FWIW, it helps me to have sort of double-focus. Yes, it's awful on the larger scale, but close to home things are okay, and that helps cope with the general mess. I hope you have the same sort of situation. The world may be going to hell, but in the small sphere where you have some influence, you can mitigate that with maintaining your spirit, and being of good will and kindness to all those you deal with. It can lighten the load for yourself and others in ways you may not even realize.

Try to keep your chin up, though I know it's hard. In a strange sort of way, we're privileged to be present at a show that hasn't played for 309,000 years! It's a crazy thought, isnt it? :)

Yes, this is what I've also come to realize. The best way to 'fight the bad guys' is to make life as enjoyable (not in the hedonistic sense) and joyful as possible for my family during these times. I especially see as my main mission to make things as normal as possible for my kids. At times, especially when they've been exposed to some scare propaganda at school or through the media and they ask about it, I try to explain to them what's really happening in a 'kid-suitable' strategic way (not easy!) to mitigate their potential anxiety.

Having said that, I do sometimes feel disappointed with myself that there's pretty much nothing I can do to stop this madness. I sometimes unnecessarily tease myself with imagining my grandchildren asking "Grandpa, what did you do when the world went bad? How did you fight it?" Ah, then I'll probably answer them with the paragraph above.

It's also a matter of perspective. For some people, it's a dream come true. They get to freely humiliate, punish, dominate, and torture other people. They are not ready to relinquish their power anytime soon!

Q: (L) In other words, there's no hope for our planet or our species if normal human beings do not come together and get over these varied pathological belief systems and religions and "your truth" and "my truth" and all that sort of thing?

A: Yes. All of that was created and spread by pathological types under the influence of their hyperdimensional masters for the purpose of turning this planet into a "hell on earth" with them as the masters. They have succeeded beyond their wildest dreams. What is needed is for many people to begin to make direct connections with their higher centers. This has been done via the "work" up to now, but there are other methods to accelerate the process and obtain the needed assistance.

On the other hand, there are people who are beginning to realize that life has a different meaning. And for those people, the ongoing chaotic events are a stepping stone to a new reality.

I hear you Elfin. The world is insane, you are not alone friend. The world has never been sane, and its becoming more obvious as time rolls on.

This has been a lot for me to take in, I'm adjusting excepting it. I don't like it, but here we are.

Not a bad place to be, adjust to the situation and accept thats the way it is, we can only control our reaction, as your doing. As was said above be a light for others. Thanks for sharing your thoughts ❤

I feel pretty much the same about how our social reality is being continually ground down. The lockdown period was terrible, you could easily see how STS our community here was like, an "every man for himself" attitude was all pervasive. Being mindful of how the future is going to get worse really makes me anxious for the times ahead. Like others have stated above, all we can really do is be a "one man revolution"; the only part of our reality we can change is ourselves, and just work to bring a little bit of light into our social dealings, and try not to let the bastards grind you down. Easier said than done in a hystericised society, but we can only work with what we have.

Whatever the future brings, we'll come out of these experiences far wiser than when we began our journey.

I hear you, Elfin. I feel the same way... but, remember, both of us have chosen to live in the end times, the ending of a grand astronomical cycle where civilization collapses. Even the C's have made this clear. All the chaos and turmoil one sees in the outer world is also reflected in our inner lives. I see and feel it in my personal life. The psychological pressure to fix long standing problems that I've been avoiding is being ramped up to intense levels. Failure to confront these issues can drive one crazy.

The coming years are going to challenging indeed ! Even more difficult than the last 2. Are you up to the challenge ? If not, you will fall by the wayside quickly. Death, dishonor, deteriorating health, whatever...

As for myself, I am going to continue to plod along the highway of life as best I can, even though my feet grow weary and the road is shakier with each passing week. There's nothing else I can do...

People don't smile or wave as you pass by anymore.

I know this was just a small sentence in the context of your whole post, but when it comes to things like this, in my experience, how I’m feeling about the world and the other people in it can really effect what gets reflected back to me, what I see, so to speak.

I’m not saying people are all smiles and things are great in the world. But I think you should at least test your belief that people don’t smile or wave anymore. We don’t see what we’re not looking for, and if we ourselves have become sadder, more introverted and isolated, even angry at what we see around us, we may assume everyone else has as well.

While sadness and anger may be a healthy reaction to what is currently happening, it can be a downward spiral to paint the other people around us or in our area with the brush of our own frustrations. If we can get our negative self out of the way and look with new eyes, we find that other people’s negativity or perceived lack of interest in anything other than what they’re doing, or rudeness, or sadness, etc., etc., is often a creation of our own assumptions, filters and beliefs.

Interacting with other people is an important and enriching part of life, whether the world is falling apart or not. Best to always double-check whether our perceptions of other people are based in reality or just coloured by our own emotions.

I also can see how you feel, Elfin, and feel the rising pressure and insecurity too, mainly through highly desastrous politics in my country as well. It's going on worldwide more or less. So we are certainly not alone. Like others said it's a matter of taking perspective - dwelling in our feelings about this state and letting things sweeping us down under or becoming creative.

In adding to T.C.'s post, maybe those you don't see waving or smiling anymore are just as much suffering under this sense of insecurity and they might feel even more helpless than us since they don't have the resources of knowledge, experience and networking we have. So they may see more gloom, even if not consciously. And also, the mask-wearing mandates, the enforcement of social isolation, the division amongst people in vaccinated and unvaccinated... have been taken their tolls in alienating people from each other, creating trauma - the results of which are becoming more apparent.

Also, we tend to see and remember negative things more, and from dwelling on them we miss out on the positive ones (including opportunities) that may be present even more aplenty. It again depends on how and where we look at the world, which leaves much of the work to us.

In closing this post, the following adage comes to mind here: Change the things you can change (that are in your sphere of influence), leave alone those you can't (as it takes away energy) and learn to distinguish one from the other. Coming into doing (or changing) and thus becoming creative may add to enjoying the show, like the C's said. And eventually we might find ourselves on another timeline of the many possible futures - one looking more bright.

FWIW
