If not already, is the world going incrementally insane by the hour ?

[thepainterdoug]

I have written about these observations before. Is it possible because I'm in the NY , Nj area of the world? yes , to some degree Im sure

But I have had it with people talking "higher vibrations" , much love, "namaste"
rising chakras, other dimensions etc when they can't even function in a civil way in this plain everyday 3 d reality

I have just had several good friends completely confound me with their anger, unwillingness to talk and negotiate, in a way so simple for past generations.

A woman singer I hired, who I picked up in my car wrote me today to tell me she's been "holding it back" but is " offended", that I showed her how to open the door lock inside my car, and now needs to clear it up. I am not kidding. And my car is a classic British mini where things are not normal.

Another friend who is always bemoaning our violent and hateful world, asking why can't the Jews and Palestinians get along, cannot even take a sentinel of constructive criticism I needed to give him without him in return being hateful , angry and resentful towards me.

Its like society is at its 99.9% peanut oil tolerance and can't go much further.

People talking new age love, blessings, and signing off "much love" on their e mails are quickly in the next 5 minutes pissed and ready to tear your head off.

People speak of new age love and enlightenment but can't put the rubber to the road in any actionable way because they have created an on line personality void of reality testing that no way aligns with true reality.

How are big issues to be solved? Wars and intolerances between very different tribes and backgrounds when these people cannot even find harmony among others just like them ?

I can't share or send anything to anyone anymore. No one believes anything. Everyone knows everything .

On the phone, no one listens , just multi tasking, doing their dishes, typing on their keyboards until it's their turn .

Everything rushed, nothing absorbed or appreciated.

all "pre offended "on the streets and in public places

How will people galvanize at a time when truly needed?

WTF!

[Ernie Nemeth]

Hey Doug.
What was in that paint you were using today. lol

[greybeard]

I get that you are annoyed and I agree up to a point.
People who are genuinely into spiritual "evolution" tend not to talk about it.
The only place I actually discuss enlightenment now is here on Avalon.

However people have been getting, angry, protesting about all manner of things as long as I can remember--it has not brought about any peace and harmony. In a nutshell it has not worked not brought about significant change
A problem can not be solved at the same energy level it was created--through anger.

People talking about being spiritual and displaying the manners you speak of will not bring about change either.

A rising tide lifts all boats and the only way I can see out of the mess this world is in is through a raising of onsciousness.

Gandhi brought about change and was non violent--I think he said "You have to be the change you want to see"

It is not down to anyone else.
I affect my own world for better or for worse.

Doug, there seems to be a rising level of panic. I don't think most people can name what they are panicked by and so they are becoming more and more unreasonable as they point at everyone and everything besides their own inability to deal with themselves, the world, the unknown fears, the rising levels of pitting one against the other, etc. etc.

[greybeard]

There seems to a lot on u tube regarding cataclysmic coming events.
Im not saying this is a true perspective of what may happen but if it is so people may be aware at a subconscious level that all is not well with earth and this could be unsettling them.

Even sites like Suspicious Observers, balanced down to earth, are talking about and giving facts on a magnetic pole shift and solar minimum--leading to an ice age--Yellowstone seems to be producing more manga.
Increasing Earth Quakes and Volcanic eruptions---Extreme weather.

These are just my thoughts and not necessarily true.

Maybe too New Agey*, but its helped me understand this escalation of anger and pettiness and layers of lies to distract from the original conversations on-line and in real life.

It’s the idea that waves of energy are coming in. They’ve increased and so has the intensity. The energy waves effect us differently. Most of humanity hasn’t done the subconscious work that’s needed to become more spirit-human. The unaware are the walking-physical with latent spirit. They are still operating from the default mode of yesteryear. So there are many that lash out, blame, get all gnarly, project and soothe with drink, drugs and foods. Which only serves to escalate their interactions and sabotage their surroundings.

I’ve paid attention to what I experience. Like your other thread on sleep, I experienced intermittent sleep hours and/or I wake refreshed after three. But the last two-three weeks, I’ll sleep for nine to ten hours and my dreams are vivid. Sometimes, I require a quick power nap, only to wake two to three hours later.

I feel like I’m sleeping my life away, but another part of me understands there’s changes going on right down to the cellular level. There are times when I feel the downloads. It’s energy that I feel in my head. And although not as intense, it washes through my body. Sometimes there are chills and warmth associated with the downloads. (oxymoron)

I don’t talk about it much because too many want proof. It just doesn’t work that way with me. Things are spontaneous and they’ve always have been. The more I go with the flow, the more of me is revealed, i.e. the parts I forgot about in my younger years combined with the knowledge and wisdom that I’m working on daily.

♡

P.S. I am NOT New Age. I ditched the religion several years ago.

@thepainterdoug, I hear you. Dont have an answer to your questions but have been thinking in the same lines.

You are right , Doug , but move that description on a stage . So many ( most) people have not yet learned coping mechanisms in an enormously changed internal landscape .

The mind is only a pattern handling 'thing' , and that is etched into its very essence -- if you don't learn to connect dots ( make patterns ) the predator will kill you , and if you are unable able to read nature to obtain the right food in the right quantity etc .you will also die '

The Internet has increased incoming information so much that it is difficult to assess by how much . Many thousands more stimuli arriving and at far greater speed .

The mind desperately seeks patterns, but without filters the task of finding ones which are reliable quickly becomes difficult and then increasingly impossible, . The mind gets so desperate that it even tries to see patterns in white and random noise

-- one way Conspiracies develop ----- and for many they become medicine -- they dupe the mind into accepting patterns that do not even exist . This has been shown experimentally .

This all touches on what is known as Patternicity and the accompanying need to create pattern Authorship . It blows bombshells into Synchronicity believers . But against that , Synchronicity can easily become a useful mind crutch --- it provides a

coping mechanism .And provides ways of assigning Authorship .

Worth considering, imho, because huge numbers of people will become increasingly confused , irrational , violent and then use violence to address their perceived problems and new enemies .

But smart people should be OK if they plan now .

I’m defiantly observing the same thing. I think it has multiple factors as noted in the tread responses. The world is going through a lot right now.

The world will be changed by some kind of mini ice age or polar flip (scientific fact, not a belief). Some know it, others may just sense it or as Running deer noted are being effected by the Solar System changes.

Our political ideologies are at an extreme all over the world. There is a raging war between the Nationalist globalist cabals and I think people are shutting down and fearful. People naturally fear or have anxiety in response to change, even good change.

There are different social programs, controlling beliefs with different agendas used on different generations. Thus I find those much younger than me are so different I have to remain at a superficial level with them or it will end very badly.

Many on Avalon have been learning and waking up most of their lives I think that inoculated us to some degree. Not to mention many here may be different (DNA, ET, learned from past lives etc.). We have more tools of discernment to judge what’s going on politically. We have certain self-protective spiritual beliefs that allow most to perceive life and death as just a transition. We are all in the physical and have survival instincts but few here (if any) actually think death is the end.

What I see is normies adopting new age phrases without ever understanding what they really mean and those ideas don’t really change them as people. New age phrases such as “ You create your own reality or You are what you think, ”…is complex and not literal. If it were we have would thunk the world into perfection a long time ago.

As said on that thread my sleep pattern is shot to hell and more or less exactly what you said on your post here.
Kundalinihas become very active and when meditating its as though I have something pulling strongly at my forehead also sounds like birds chirping in my ears--only when I meditate.

Ive been a bit impatient with people--not like me.

Also all of a sudden I have got interested in Videos on the work of Edgar Cayce---what he said about entering into a golden age and us being in Armageddon at this time makes sense--I dont normally go there so to speak.

On the whole Im as usual down to earth but I have to work at it which is not normally necessary.

I feel guided to meditate more, up the other spiritual practices--mantras etc.

So as Paula has said Im convinced that there are different energies coming in to us now.
Cayce said that there will be a new root race --DNA change.
That not all will be of a high enough vibration to enter the golden age
Women's wombs will only accept a higher vibration spirit to birth.

I just dont normally go into separation of any kind and my main "thing"is non-duality--Self realization it is just single minded in its approach--so as said this not my normal focus of attention.
Confused.
Chris

So this may be unsettling.

so true. quantum physics , very mis understood by even the fathers of it, says so called matter is altered or determined by the observer. yes this is a strange phenomena but doesn't mean you can make a racehorse out of a jackass just by looking at it. /

all this speculation is good, but carry with you the essentials you learned as a child as well. your common sense, treat others as you want to treated,, and so on

if the me too movement has an adult woman offended by me showing her how the door lock works, her and others are throwing the baby out with the bathwater .

[ErtheVessel]

There is a saying i've heard which is "Contempt is a container for repressed feelings" and those repressed feelings usually include fear and self-doubt (and as Valerie says, panic).

I've been disillusioned many times over the years by those who profess some kind of spirituality, and yet in real life are lacking in any kind of true spiritual depth.

For example, I had a friend who I had known since I was 12 (many years ago ). At the age of 24 she became a nun in the Catholic church and moved to Italy, where she remained a nun for 24 years. This, to me, implied that she was serious about the depth of her spirituality. I exchanged letters with her over that period and was always "impressed" by her dedication and the seemingly deep spiritual intent in her life.

She left the convent after 24 years and came back to the States. Then she got married to a really kind and steady man. A few years after that, I ended up in a life situation where I asked her if I could live with her and her husband for a few months while I got my life back together after some difficult troubles. I discovered in actually living with her under the same roof that, behind closed doors, she was actually probably one of the most negative, complaining and critical people I had ever met. Twenty-four years in a convent did not make her spiritual on any real level - only as a superficial mask. My guess is that she has deep, even crippling, insecurities and self-doubt that cause her to hide behind a mask of spiritual achievement and accomplishment. Spiritual "status."

I agree with greybeard and would say that most people who are genuinely spiritual are pretty quiet about it.

I think perhaps things in our culture, like social media, emphasize the superficial as something to aspire to. Developing real character and growing one's soul is arduous and sometimes very painful work. There are not many people who are genuinely interested in that - but they are interested in the false prestige of appearing somehow "advanced" as if it were a commodity.

And, I have to say, for any woman to be offended by your thoughtful and gallant explanation of how to open your car door, has jumped on the faddish bandwagon of childish and empty moral superiority. I know a lot of women who are NOT like that. Don't lose hope, Doug, not everyone is a six-year-old walking around in the costume of a grown-up body. Not yet, anyway.

I know I've only commented on a portion of what your OP was about, so I hope this isn't too off topic.

[thepainterdoug]

thanks much Erthe vessel. it all contributes. i can open up and be honest here at Avalon and also accept disagreement as well , when done in a respectful way.

what is Love? so many say it constantly, but so few know anything about it. and less applying it

words have impact, meaning and power

at least they once did

[ErtheVessel]

Yes, "What is love?"

What an incredibly important question. And the older I get, the more I know it is not what I used to think it was.

This is the paradox of spirituality.
The superficial impression is that you shouldn't do anything but its subtle.
Action can be very effective but its the intention the heart behind the action that counts.
if its out of anger it just makes the situation worse.

I kept what I found to be the most important points out of ErtheVessels post. And in these lines you mentioned what I think is the most important part of what is happening. I think we are all facing some sort of inner urgency to move through our defensiveness, and drop things that are making life more difficult than it is. Many who come to places like Avalon to discuss things like this have been at it for longer than others. I agree it is a very arduous process, and the hardest part is the earliest stages.
I think the entire population is on some sort of cusp before "they" move into the real work. Shaming others is easier to do than feeling ones own shame and evaluating it's reality, also true of judgement and similar internal behaviors. In the mean time stuff is coming up for people and going into combat mode is part of the content of that stuff, so it turns into acting out instead of owning one's own part and trying new healthier behavior. Sadly this sort of stuff is feeding into some very dangerous situations as far as politics, wars etc. As far as volcanic stuff, and solar minimums etc, as discussed in other posts those things are also feeding into the mix, but until those things happen in our area we can't do much but look at how responsibly we are owning up to our own thoughts and emotions. So in general I think the biggest factor in all this is lack people even knowing how to deal with their own emotions.

I *love* original minis- great wee go-karts!... but it's about a ton too light, half the necessary height, & (unless you've fitted a full racing cage) way too flimsy for me to drive in amongst today's distracted-by-their-cellphones folks driving SUVs literally double the weight & size- you're a braver man than I !!!

As far as folk being programmed, as they are, to take offence at ridiculous "micro-aggressions" etc. these days, I tend to just tilt my head slightly & give longer-than-usual eye contact in silence with a slightly raised eyebrow where needed (I've had a few instances where my refusal to deviate from respectful commonsense is enough to break the spell- not many, but a few). There will be no apologies, thank you. There may be an explanation of my words/actions for clarification if the individual is civil & reasonable, but I'm not going to pander to nonsense. Indeed, I refuse to waste any time on such things. The tricky bit is not letting behaviour of the badly-infected get you down! I have a silent-mantra-with-a-cheeky-wee-10sec-breathing-focus thing I tend to have to employ much more often these days following such an exchange, to cleanse myself of the PlagueOfNonsense™ that's been let loose by the social engineers.

[Caliban]

Doug,

That woman wasn't pissed about the lock. She's probably angry at men in general, or at her father or ex boyfriend. But it's easier to take it out on someone where nothing's at stake.

Besides that bs, I think people are just fed up. They may not know it, or know what they're fed up about, but we are. We're fed up with living our lives through these electronic screens day after day. Having no real deep contact with anyone. We're fed up with a women's movement/me too that doesn't want to get to the root of the matter, but blame everything on "toxic" masculinity. We're fed up with jobs that mean nothing to us, with violent television terrifically produced but brutal and ugly. We're fed up with leaders and wanna be leaders who are stuffed full of corporate money. We've seen the lies too many times.

We feel ripped off but can't put our finger on how. This techno world has gotten out of control. We weren't ready for it and still aren't. We're fed up 'cause we think no one's listening to us. We're fed up because we know we no longer know how to listen.

[Bubu]

Its already but is getting better. You just did not notice the insanity before. as you learn more you will see more. Accept more, love more....

As for why people is so negative, Try to watch a drama or war movie and observe you inner vibration. Its as if people open the TV a number of times each day to tune up to the negative vibration. This is just one of the many
