CORONAVIRUS - NOPE - SOMETHING ELSE!! I PROMISE! PSYCHIC PREDICTIONS INCLUDED
Wow! It has been more than a month since a blog was posted on this site…so much for consistency. But “the times, they are a’changin’! “
For the past 8 to 10 years, people were told and encouraged to post consistently on their pages or they wouldn’t have followers. Everyone was told, if you don’t have followers, you can’t make money. And the only way to get followers is to post post post. So what was the world left with? Pages and pages of crap just because everyone believed they needed to post every day and churn something out for their followers. Pages filled with pictures of last nights’ dinner. Pages filled with meaningless selfies - pretty girls and boys with flawless hair and skin - with no context - only random faces smiling at the cameras held at arms length. Countless pages of people doing ridiculous stunts causing harm to themselves, others and Mother Earth, in an effort to have “followers”.
Yesterday, on the radio, I heard an interview with ??? (I don’t even know who it was because I turned on the radio part of the way through the interview). The woman was describing her life as a fraud; she described spending hours to ready herself for a selfie just to provide her “followers” with "consistent content” - doing her hair and her make-up, adjusting for just the right angle, trying to find clothes that her followers would approve of despite the fact she hated most of the clothes her followers had come to expect her to wear, etc. All the while however, she was dying inside - she was so depressed she was spending most of her days in her PJ’s, over-eating and crying, not even showering if she could help it because she was so down on herself. Her “need” to post consistently, her “need” to continue to impress her followers, her “need” to keep up with the crowd caused her to feel alone, isolated and insufficient. She described emotions she experienced if she missed posting for even one day; she felt like a full failure in life itself and yet she was out of original ideas to post about and she felt drained - suicidal even at times.
The interviewer then asked her why she was coming out of the shadows now? Her response; She was finished being a fraud and was in a position in life where she wanted authenticity. And if that meant losing some “followers”, then so be it.
I applaud this woman for going against the grain and getting off the “follower” train. And I encourage any and all people who post on the internet, to only post authenticity in these difficult times. (And yup, there’s my reference to “The Virus”). During this time of isolation, it is an opportunity for all of us to go within, to examine what is important to us, to raise our vibrations and increase the ability of our immune systems to fight.
So that was a pretty long introduction into the meat of this blog today; finding the true meaning and value to having time alone. I know that many struggle with time alone because they equate alone to lonely - nothing is further from the truth. Spending time alone does not mean you are lonely…being alone gives you a chance to really discover who you are and what you are meant to do in life. Spending time alone can help all of us to find our true callings, can help us to get in touch with our inner child, can help us to heal that which we have buried for years. Being alone can create true authenticity!
From a psychic perspective, if we use this time to heal ourselves, to go within, to meditate, to walk in the woods, to hug a tree, to fully embrace the authenticity of a smile on a child’s face, to play tickle time with our kids and enjoy the unabashed laughter, to explore the world of science, or math, or English, or art, or music, if we use this time constructively to improve ourselves, then the world truly can be a better place once this is in our past. We can have that utopia we’ve craved and posted about in order to have followers - but our utopia will be one of authenticity rather than just another selfie in order to keep up with the YouTuber down the street with more followers.
Prediction: This alone time is an opportunity - not a punishment. The sooner that we accept this isolation as a gift rather than a curse, the sooner we can raise our own vibrations which in turn raises the vibrations of the planet.
There is so much fear right now - but that fear comes from a place of mourning…we are collectively mourning our old way of life - for some, what we’ve had the past 50 years or so was acceptable and even great, but for the vast majority, they wanted better for themselves and their neighbours. By healing ourselves, we are healing our communities - by releasing the philosophy of mine and yours, by releasing the need to constantly compare ourselves to our neighbours, by releasing the need to compete at everything, by finally seeing the beauty in everyone, by finally seeing that everyone has something to offer to the future, by finally seeing that jealousy and envy hurt everyone, by finally embracing the abundance (and I’m not just talking about money here!!) that Mother Earth and non-competition can offer, WE CAN HAVE A BETTER WORLD FOR THE MAJORITY!
As the title implied, there are some predictions here:
1) If we take the time to heal and raise our vibrations, if we release competition and envy, we will have a better place to live in the coming 50 years.
2) It will take time to adjust to the new reality and there will still be some outliers who will fight for the return of their old way of life…but they will be called out on their efforts to return to a life of competition and their reign of power will be short lived.
3) This is the prediction I don’t want to make because I want to keep a positive spin on things here but…just as the Yin and the Yang have been ever present in our evolution, so too is the Yin/Yang present right now and we have a choice to make…heal, raise your vibration, embrace your neighbours and help, lose the philosophy of competition, OR return to the old way of life but in an even more restrictive way. Should we not take this opportunity to heal, we will continue to be lauded over by dictator’like, fear inspired rulers. There I said it.
Allow yourself time to be gentle with yourself today. Allow yourself to go within and truly feel the emotions you’ve avoided for years. Allow yourself time in nature (even if your current circumstances only permit an open window - do it). Allow yourself to be you today…who cares what your “followers” think today - today is all about finding out who you are, who you want to be and loving yourself. Living authentically is the only way forward.
In love and light
