Either that or they are in denial of it and are choosing to escape instead?

I can do both...face the thread AND escape into someone's avatar.

Yes, I will have to look into that. I hadn't chosen her consciously as a guide though, just because she is beautiful.

I feel the same way too.
I agree SOO MUCH with you guys especially Chrisl, HiIm Jeremy and Pyrogen.
It is unbelievable.I was wondering what 's going on with me. I'm 4o+ but that's not a mid-life crisis and I am sure of it.
Emotions are incredibly strong .Yes ChrisL -People who are in love are really in love like crazy _ I've experienced that last year and it was like crazy something that I've never experience before. Music is something that I now can't live without, i am the same as you Jeremy -Music has become a very powerful form of expression.
The weather ,oh my,it gives me headaches all the time when it changes.
I am reading all the time books about spirituality sometimes 4-5 at the same time. Lots of relationships arguments it is not possible to communicate at all with "difficult" people..I am experiencing almost everything that you all mentionned here.
So,pyrogen you are not alone. My friends who are on the path are like me too.

There are some fantastic parts to what is happening right now. Of course we're having to look at ourselves deeply like we haven't, including any unresolved conflicts. But let's look at the upsides of this. I'm offering this just from my understanding and experience as a guideline, not as a mandate. If it helps I'm glad:

Rapidness - Change can happen at a very quick rate right now. If there is some path, some vision that we have always wanted to embody, it can be manifesting much quicker right now. Our thoughts/feelings are affecting our reality on a deeper level than we realize. We're moving more towards an expression of simultaneousness, which we can also see reflected in our technologies.

Transformation - Because we are getting such a wonderful boost right now, we can either fight it and go deeper into denial/sleep, or we can use it to "shed the skin" like Pyrogen was speaking about. It's not like this isn't always possible at any moment, it's just that when many people are going through transformation, it tends to have a cascading affect on everyone else, making it easier.

Acknowledgment/Connection - There's a very deep part of us that wants to be loved, acknowledged, accepted. We can go the external validation route, and have others do this for us so that we then do it for ourselves, or we can lovingly accept ourselves now directly. This is giving us a chance to become internally-validating, which is in essence, the path of the mystic. Find ways to realize your connection with everything around you, or as Reshad Feild would say, actively use peripheral space. This might sound strange, but let yourself feel acknowledged by everything, and acknowledge everything. When we recognize Creation, it recognizes us - it's our choice to take off the blinders. This is what Jeshua meant when entering Jerusalem and he said "If you did not acknowledge me, the very rocks and stones themselves would have".

Relationships/Support - Being in like-minded, less conflicted company is really helpful right now (and it always is) because of how impacted we can feel around them and how much we can shift. Please watch the amount of time we spend with family, co-workers, friends that have a different take on life and what it does to you. Because of what's happening, the opportunity for real depth and intimacy is amazing! I've already mentioned that I know several couples who basically think they have met their soulmate - not that they have, but it sure feels that way to them!

Turning crazy into conscious - Some people are mentioning it feels like they're going kind of crazy with this. This type of cognitive dissonance can happen when what we thought was real is getting changed/replaced by something else. This is one reason that we have had spiritual paths, to ensure the dismantling of our illusions happened at a safe rate for us, and to prepare the physical body for the energetic shift that happens. Right now, we're releasing old programming, and our thoughts/feelings are affecting our reality more and more. Get focused on how you would like to be, including having a vision.

Yes! I'm on this one right now. I'm re-reading "Skinny Legs and All" by Tom Robbins. Can o' Beans, Dirty Sock, Spoon, Shell, Stick. Gotta love those characters they really have a different way of perceiving what is is is. (yes yes yes! LOLz re:FB reference)

I'm seeing a lot of scenarios similar to the movie "office space". People are suddenly snapping out of it and saying wtf am I doing.

Here's something else that might help.

Look to see if your thoughts, feelings, words and actions are matching each other. If we are saying one thing but doing another, if we love our work but hate our job, if we want to be feel loved but have difficulities feeling it - all that is an example of conflict.

Being in integrity is always important, and right now we're going to really feel when we our not internally aligned. Follow through on your vision, words, feelings with your actions. Let us know how it goes!

I LOVE that book...and anything he writes basically. I once had this awesome dream that I was in Tom Robbins house and he showed me the way out, as I didn't even knock (how rude of me)

He started telling me the secrets of Time, and then I was at a bus stop in L.A somewhere ...and you know, I think I really was there??

This is happening for me at the moment. Last night I decided I'm gonna start giving tarot readings from my house (which the lady I live with actually wanted in a housemate), so I can pay for the massage course and start having my own business from home and selling my paintings from here. I got really excited, because I remembered that is what I wanted to do all along, but I got severely sidetracked over the last 10 years, and wasn't in the right place mentally. Exciting stuff!

Hi,

a personal viewpoint:
I had tonight a bit interaction concerning the topic, discussed here.
It was presented in combination of a dream and a Q&A format.

I dreamed of being on a party, the party was the happenings right now and the motto was (symbollically) blacklight & this forum in a further sense.
So I thought I should post here.

I won't dive into detail, because I'm not good at limiting myself, when it comes down to description.

In a nutshell it was showing, that people that have no other ones to talk about their current things and the things that will change, are here in a good place.

It was showing that many structures will change, mostly the ones that are basing on just mental ego activities.
People are now being stimulated from externally. There was allways suffering from Ego, but one part is new, because of this stimulation. You are suffering when you are not aligned with the moment.
What can help is music, my guides told me to listen to blues, lol.
Make the moment your friend, it'll give you back how you are viewing it.

Expect some people having a crisis, especially the people that are not aligned with the present moment or are in heavily ego mental activities.
If you want to think in chlichés I mean people like the archetype university professor or the narcistic banker. But also very passive people, that are caught up in their world of thougths and are thinking of giving up.
It is just the "non alignment" not a job or anything else.
I saw one of my profs, really going nuts in this dream.

It was recommended to ground yourself these times("invisible red armor") and to be openheartly("short green clothes") to other people.
Communication is your doorway to the world ("a blue mobilephone").

In March there is something happening again, apparently.

~sb

For my own part, I've experienced some major changes just in the past week or so. It's been exciting and scary and sometimes a roller coaster (mood swings, up until today, when it finally started to settle out)... feeling like my energy patterns are changing. Things are finally smoothing, but I feel like I've shed a skin... my attitudes are changing. The things I want now... I feel *passionate* about now... whereas before it was all from the left brain. My code's being rewritten, I feel.

Anyone else experience this recently?
Nearly every personal demon I've ever had has surfaced in the last few months and right now I'm coming out the other end. I suddenly feel much more aware and in control of myself. I've been through ups and downs, physical and emotional, which are far more intense than any I've experienced before, and being a Leo things have always been intense.

Perhaps the most profound shift is a feeling of openness and courage which is taking root within my mundane consciousness, meaning that what I used to associate with peak experiences is slowly becoming commonplace.

I can't say I know for sure what's happening but I like it.

Wow. Yeah. And here I thought it was just me getting adjusted to a new job. I've been like a whole different person in social relationships, much closer to the way I would choose to be in them. Had some mood swings too and feel a little blah at this exact moment. The phoniness in others, when expressed, seems almost comical because it's so exaggerated. And so far outside of my standard output that it creates a stark contrast.

My body craves higher vibrating foods, but I've not found a way to make that affordable and make it something I can sustain myself on without losing weight. I may shift to eating for my Vedic type though. The last few weeks I've been playing with fasting one day each week. Think that will be today. My body is asking for it.

Except for times when I'm sitting at the computer posting here, I feel like a totally different person.

I tend to fall on the "this is poppycock" side of these kinds of discussions, but I can't deny that I've felt all this too. I just read this whole thread, nodding along the entire time. For a few months now I've had this like, gear shifting experience -- click-click-click-THUNK (something falls into place), click-click-click-THUNK...

The clicks are hard, like things getting stuck, but the thunks make it worth it. :P (Had a really big one this past week -- thanks again, LL. )

It also seems like the stuff going on in the Middle East is reflecting this on a much bigger scale.

Haha, and "Skinny Legs and All" is also about the conflict in the middle east. From time immemorial. And it's all reflected, ultimately, in the dance of the seven veils. As each veil is removed, clarity inches closer. Then you are dormant and dead until revived with the water of life.

Then send your husband to hell to take your place!

I've found myself moving into a strong state of apathy. Normally this would be very troubling to me. The interesting part is that I have a crystal clear view of my apathy as completely necessary. That my intuition keeps telling me not to fight it. Not to try to push myself through it and make myself care about things I normally would have. There is no sense of depression, worry or fear in any way but at the same time I find it incredibly difficult to find a reason as to 'why' I should be getting things done. Perhaps my path is leading me down a road of complete simplicity, I don't know.

I had a bit of a revelation this morning when I acknowledged that I've always been a bit apathetic and have just now become highly aware of it. I realized that the progression in my life has been essentially moving in slow motion because of all of the attachments in my life. I had the mental image of standing in a forest with ropes tied between me and the trees in all directions. I've been able to see my options and see where I could be going but have always been perpetually tied down to what I thought I "should" be doing. I found myself acknowledging that many of my relationships with others have been a desperate attempt to fight the against the river of change and that I've been essentially holding on to a rock in the river afraid to let go and allow change to happen as it may.

With the dissolution of fear I find myself giving money virtually no thought. My entire relationship with money was previously engulfed by fear. Although my finances have made a steady decline, my contentment has steadily risen. Despite having very little interest in money, I have had a job offered to me out of the blue. Seeing as I live in Vegas I guess it's a pretty stereotypical position. I would literally be the one coming to present you a check if you won the jackpot here. Regardless of if people win, I get paid. Even so, I find myself desiring to simply drop everything and live a life of simplicity on a tropical island.

When I left my last employer, I needed around a year and a half to recover, slow down, go inward, get all the anger and resentment out of my system, and calm to a point where I could even BEGIN to find out, among all the things I swore I'd never do again, what I actually DID want to do.

It really is like that. As long as the voices in your head keep telling you that you should do this or do that, or that this or that could happen if you didn't, you'll be drifting in the wind without control, but more importantly, without inner direction.

Apathy may be your way to get into that "zen" place where all this slowly subsides, to the point where you can listen to your heart and all the values that you harbor and feel a (buried) desire to express more fully in your life.

The life of the hermit isn't for most people, but a temporary retreat or general "quiet time" is often very beneficial.
