this is poignant as I go through observing my father slowly running out of days. As I remember him being strong and sometimes big and intimidating as a small child. I see now that he always was a child inside a large body and that is where I’m going as I age. He was always a child of war likely afraid at times hungry sad, bewildered, and any other myriad of feelings. None of that matters anymore and I see him now more authentic than ever before. … The love is free from all human perceptions I had before

this story triggered in me wonderful memories of 33 years having the privilege of connecting, caring and sharing with people, and all of their moments in the role of a therapist. I do it still with people I meet and friends, and colleagues who are also retired and we finally remember that. the facts, the theories, the mandates and policies and rules all fell by the wayside. The moment the door closed, and my office became a sacred place for sharing.

what causes me even more sadness is the behemoth corporations that have convinced all of us that the" prescribed being" that they dictate to us is the real way to live. So now we are all sheep or chickens following or flocking to protect ourselves hoping that we're not chosen to be the next meal for these predators there is no better way to control the nation then Create the illusion of separateness and then when the sickness comes swoop in and medicate us for every normal human reaction to this mass manipulation of our "space suits and perceptions " They don't have to "kill the trees".. we are doing it for them in the misguided belief That it will save us individually from the masses Who aren't even the enemyanywayðŸ˜¥

if this event is not the most perfect example of how we must share and care for each other then I don't know what it is. Clearly, stuff and money and status are all irrelevant at this point....I'm sure it is a frightening wake up call for at least one or two generations of people who have been living in an illusion of control, power and immortality..This is a real test of gratitude and faith

On Mar 3, 2020 heide wrote on Releasing Willpower From Movement, by Gert van Leeuwen:

this is so well written and really captures the idea of letting go of control and fear and allowing our body to open it up to the energies that we seek. In our busy busy world it seems unsafe at times but in truth if we are controlling and thinking then we are part of the busyness. It is indeed a wonderful feeling to be sitting on the deck in the sun beam and allowing a bigger knowledge than the mind to accept that we will feel even safer by having less control, By allowing the mine to be silent and the body to open it self up to every ounce of the Divine matrix energy. When it happens it alters my entire sense of self.

just reading this filled my heart. I too was ridiculed for having an open heart, for caring about others too much apparently. I love hearing from all of you because it helps me to know we all belong to the same tribe. I am always trying I guess to welcome new members but some resist and become angry and letting go is important.... it gets tiring to keep hearing "you're just too sensitive"
