From my Lady Rae fb page.
This is my advice to myself lately. Even for New Age and magickal folk, things are really crazy right now.
If you are wondering if it is only you, or is Mercury in
retrograde (multiplied!) every day, or is anyone else having that weird
tinnitus or hearing that hum? No, it is not only you.
This is the tossing turning stormy ocean of the Big
Shift. Hang on and wear your life
jacket. And stick close to the folks
that know you best. There isn't a lot of room in your boat right now.
In Autumn of 2019 the Tower card, and Death, kept coming up
in readings, for everyone, about everything.
I'd had a sense of dread for months at that point, but I began to
realize that something was coming for everyone in March. (I did not see what it was, but I did tell
everyone to get stocked up.)
Now I am saying be ready for June and July but there is no
way to be ready. I don't know what it
is, but we just have to get through it.
Maybe it will be good. Maybe it
will be the Lemurians or Pleiadeans or something here to reveal themselves and
help us globally shift to a higher consciousnesses. Maybe some crazed oligarch world leader fires
a nuclear missile. Not sure.
In my last Rae of Light blog post I link to and talk about
an interview with Sheldon Solomon where he expounds on his terror management
theory that when confronted with a reminder of death, people double down on
behaviors that boost their self-esteem.
The overweight person will eat more. The smoker will smoke more, and take deeper
drags. Many people will shop and spend
money. And he says, those that get self esteem from caring for the elderly and
children will want to care more.
And, IMO, sociopaths with homicidal and violent tendencies
will murder more. Whether they are
oligarchs that rule countries, or racist police officers, or ordinary men. Death is no respecter of persons, and neither
is the Fear of Death.
But anyone, even the most altruistic, operating on
unacknowledged fear of death, can be
troublesome when you are being tossed around the stormy seas of change. If you feel the need to help someone right
now, make sure you know what they are asking for. What they actually need.
As a dominant person that grew up with adult level
responsibilities, it is default for me to interfere and take over. I have to remind myself constantly to ask
"what is that you need me to do?" Instead of deciding for them or
assuming.
If you read the interview, many of the people who reacted
the most strongly to the death reminder insisted they were not scared of death
or swayed by a reminder. I know that
when I get distanced from my feelings, and I cannot be honest with myself about
how I feel (perhaps because it is too overwhelming or scary) I lose touch with
what is real for me.
Emotional honesty is as important as factual honesty. Emotions are
meant to be a guidance system that will sound increasingly louder the
further you get from your true Self at its best and most authentic. Depression is the very bottom. To move up, one must go through anger. But one must keep moving up. Embracing anger because it feels more
powerful than depression is natural, but it is not the final step. (Google Abraham Hicks Emotional Guidance
scale to see the progression.)
Right now is great time to let the uncertain future become
the anchor that keeps me focused on the beauty of the moment, and to really
make choices that will be meaningful whether "I live forever or die
tomorrow". It is a time to be
really thankful for what you have. Focus
on what you love. Forgive yourself and
others.
And most of all, stay steady on your own little boat. You will not be able to help anyone if you
drown. Seriously.
Hope others will find this helpful.
