WE LIVE IN INTERESTING TIMES

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.
