March 25th on 1975 J.R.R. Tolkien calendar ~ The Ring is Gone!


The Lord of the Rings Online - The Ultimate Adventure.

'I have come,' he said. 'But I do not choose now to do what I came to do. I will not do this deed. The Ring is mine!' And suddenly, as he set it on his finger, he vanished from Sam's sight. Sam gasped, but he had no chance to cry out, for at that moment many things happened. Something struck Sam violently in the back, his legs were knocked from under him and he was flung aside, striking his head against the stony floor, as a dark shape sprang over him. He lay still and for a moment all went black. And far away, as Frodo put on the Ring and claimed it for his own, even in Sammath Naur the very heart of his realm, the Power in Barad-dûr was shaken, and the Tower trembled from its foundations to its proud and bitter crown. The Dark Lord was suddenly aware of him, and his Eye piercing all shadows looked across the plain to the door that he had made; and the magnitude of his own folly was revealed to him in a blinding flash, and all the devices of his enemies were at last laid bare. Then his wrath blazed in consuming flame, but his fear rose like a vast black smoke to choke him. For he knew his deadly peril and the thread upon which his doom now hung. From all his policies and webs of fear and treachery, from all his stratagems and wars his mind shook free; and throughout his realm a tremor ran, his slaves quailed, and his armies halted, and his captains suddenly steerless, bereft of will, wavered and despaired. For they were forgotten. The whole mind and purpose of the Power that wielded them was now bent with overwhelming force upon the Mountain. At his summons, wheeling with a rending cry, in a last desperate race there flew, faster than the winds, the Nazgûl the Ringwraiths, and with a storm of wings they hurtled southwards to Mount Doom. Sam got up. He was dazed, and blood streaming from his head dripped in his eyes. He groped forward, and then he saw a strange and terrible thing. Gollum on the edge of the abyss was fighting like a mad thing with an unseen foe. To and fro he swayed, now so near the brink that almost he tumbled in, now dragging back, falling to the ground, rising, and falling again. And all the while he hissed but spoke no words. The fires below awoke in anger, the red light blazed, and all the cavern was filled with a great glare and heat. Suddenly Sam saw Gollum's long hands draw upwards to his mouth; his white fangs gleamed, and then snapped as they bit. Frodo gave a cry, and there he was, fallen upon his knees at the chasm's edge. But Gollum, dancing like a mad thing, held aloft the ring, a finger still thrust within its circle. It shone now as if verily it was wrought of living fire. 'Precious, precious, precious!' Gollum cried. 'My Precious! O my Precious!' And with that, even as his eyes were lifted up to gloat on his prize, he stepped too far, toppled, wavered for a moment on the brink, and then with a shriek he fell. Out of the depths came his last wail _Precious_, and he was gone.

1975 J.R.R.Tolkien Wall Calendar: Fall of Sauron at Barad Dur...

~ Sauron's Tower and Mount Doom in Barad Dur ~

On March 25th, 1975 my Karma hit rock bottom. I traveled to Philadelphia with a portfolio of ink illustrations under my arm in the pouring rain. I arrived at book publisher's office of J. B. Lippincott & Company, then I was turned away at the door as I chose to make a cold call when I should have hired an agent first. Dejected, I returned to Nantucket, Massachusetts "with tail between my legs" and came down with influenza upon receiving a divorce summons from my first wife via Registered Mail at the town's Post Office. I fell very ill with a high fever and chills!

JDHWB-R...Tarot Reading for COVID-19 World-wide Pandemic

10-Card Celtic Cross Tarot Reading:

1 - Central Issue (Significator)
THE FOOL: Quest for Enlightenment


Traveler setting forth on the journey of life - young, innocent, unknowing of pitfalls and temptations thereof. The sun, i.e. knowledge of his origin as a ray of the infinite source (God) manifest in human form to work through the physical plane, is behind him. He may know it is there but is unaware of its real meaning so therefore he is walking away from it. Before him is the precipice, trap of the material world, awaiting his step over the edge and fall into imbalance. But, he sees it not, as his eyes are upon the beautiful vista; illusion caused by inexperience and blindness regarding Universal Laws. The dog at his heels is bounding and appears to be excited about the journey and equally unaware of the pitfall ahead as he is in a leaping mode and following his master's footsteps. The traveler is well-dressed, meaning that internally and externally he has everything he needs to take on this journey. He carries a purse on a stick representing his pack of provisions; resources or equivalent means to see his way through the travels ahead. Also, he holds a white rose signifying the eternal Life Principle which will bring him successfully through the trials he encounters during the course of his journey to the ultimate fulfillment of his destiny. PARALLEL ARCHETYPES: The Joker, The Jester, The Cuckold, The Clown, The Piper, The Beggar, The Village Idiot, The Wanderer, The Hitchhiker
State of Mind: Thoughtlessness, Folly, Extravagance, Lack of discipline, Immaturity, Irrationality, Insecurity, Frivolity, Delirium, Frenzy, Enthusiasm, Naivete, Bad decision, Indecision, Apathy, Hesitation, Lack of consideration, Unrestrained excess, Carelessness in promises, Beginning adventure, Precipice of life, Excitement

COVID-19 began in to spread in Wuhan, China in December of last year. Government in Beijing hid the truth about how contagious this disease is and rapid rate of infection, first in Asia, then Europe, and around the world to the United States and beyond... Like unto the Black Death of the Middle Ages, this 21st Century Plague affects and alters civilization as we now know it, We as collective Humanity will never be the same; truly sending us into uncharted territory.


2 - What Crosses You
PAGE OF PENTACLES: Application


This is the archetype of study and application of new ideas to solve problems; the image of reflection and the desire for new ideas to arise for the purpose of application - as well as scholarship and the ability to dream, which allow for the creation of novel ideas. In a counseling session, this archetype indicates that the client is studying new ways to solve old problems, or will encounter an individual who can offer insight with this regard. Or, the person entering the client's life could be a messenger bringing some news which will effect the client as it pertains to his/her particular destiny. A negative interpretation of this image, when present during a session, would be for the bearer to bring bad or unsettling news to the client. Also, some unrealism on the part of the person or quality represented, i.e. being a dreamer to the point of contemplating such fantasies which run counter to the precepts of Universal Laws, in other words, inability to recognize the obvious facts in a particular matter. Dissapation of ideas, i.e. wasted thought processes, or totally illogical thinking, rebelliousness, or wastefulness in general. Liberality and luxury as they refer to life being off balance also lend themselves to an adverse interpretation. The nature of an application of the Page of Pentacles within a particular session depends upon the client's course of action, whereas a positive reflection is generated through correct observance of Universal Laws and so a negative reflection can be transformed via the client making an individual change of course, i.e. following rather than violating said Universal Laws. Deep concentration, in the proper perspective, brings forth the best in this archetype.
State of Mind: Deep concentration, Application, Scholarship, Reflection, Desire for new ideas, Do-gooder, Bearer of news, Study, Unrealistic person, Failure to recognize obvious facts, Dissipation of ideas, Illogical thinking, Rebelliousness, Wastefulness

Social Distancing from other human beings in your immediate environment is key. Thus far, no cure exists for COVID-19. Communication via telephone or chatting over the Internet is not going to get someone infected by this novel virus. Physical interaction with others will increase risk of exposure. If one needs to go out for food or for supplies, wear PPE (personal protective equipment: gloves, surgical masks, etc.) and return home. Bars and restaurants are being shut down everywhere, concerts and festivals cancelled, etc. It's a brave new world...


3 - What Lies Below
KNIGHT OF PENTACLES: Responsibility


Here is the archetype of responsibility and service. Note that this image reveals a rider methodically moving toward his destination, his eyes fixed upon completion of this task in hand. He is carrying the symbol of his suit, but does not look upon it. In a metaphysical counseling session, the Knight of Pentacles represents a mature and responsible person in the life of the client; one who is reliable, with the ability to conclude a task which has been started. This person is also patient and thus persistent in his efforts, as well as being laborious and organized. This would be a person who is capable of bringing great energy to practical matters; a dependable manager and a steadfast worker. A responsible and conventional person is in this archetype's positive aspect. The adverse side of this image reveals: stagnation, inertia, a lack of determination or direction, without any purpose to carry a task to its end. Narrow-mindedness, whereas limits are established by dogmatic views, can also be a trait. Idleness and inertia, plus carelessness and discouragement, could be part of the adverse effects of this image during a counseling session. Interaction with other archetypes make the determination whether or not this image may be positive for the client. A personal course correction on his/her part can bring a 180-degree turn in circumstances and thus transform a negative outcome into a positive one. The sense of duty and that of responsibility, inherent in the specific symbolism of this archetype is able to transcend the stagnation and carelessness of its negative side.
State of Mind: Mature person, Responsible person, Reliable, Methodical, Patient, Persistent, Ability to conclude a task, Laborious, Organized, Serviceable, Stagnation, Inertia, Lack of determination or direction, Limits set by dogmatic views

Collectively we are in our finest hour as the Human Family; divide and conquer meme is at peak during such a worldwide healthcare emergency and now is the time to have compassion and help fellow human beings, whether they are close to us (family, friends) or strangers. The time is now to lend a hand and be of assistance to others any way we are able. Apply ourselves and be of service to humanity, wherever we are located on this planet. Let's do this now!

4 - What Lies Behind - Past
THE HIEROPHANT: Taught through Ritual


Religious Doctrine: External Symbols of internal Reality. The only way to see beyond the outward form of the Hierophant's teachings is to change one's perspective, i.e. Inner Truth being the hidden cause behind manifestation in outward reality. This Archetypal Figure represents the external Form and function of the internal Mysteries. Also known as The Pope, he stands for established religious practice, ritual, and fundamental principles thereof. The Triple Cross in his right hand is an outward symbol of The Christ; Crucifixion of Body, Soul, and Spirit to be resurrected as Body, Soul, and Spirit in union with God. The left hand signifies the distinction between revealed and concealed Mysteries. For those who are in the world and have yet to realize the Hermetic principle of "As Above, So Below," the major religions and basic, or fundamental Teachings serve as a signpost for entry through the Gate of personal commitment to be instructed by God via internal Illumination. The Crossed Keys are indicative of the Written Teachings, i.e. Scriptures, and ritual Ceremonies of religious practice and Doctrine intersecting with the intuitive Guidance of the Universal Source from the center of one's Being. One key is external and one key is internal; one being the function of the other. The Hierophant stands as a barrier to those who are yet unable to comprehend the True creative Life principles and therefore the External Teaching is all that they receive. However, if they can pass beyond the Form via choice to join the Spirit of Illumination radiating from within their Souls then the High Priestess is waiting to reveal the heretofore hidden Mysteries inscribed in the Scroll she is holding in reserve for those who are truly ready. PARALLEL ARCHETYPES: The Pope, The High Priest.
State of Mind: Ritual, Mercy, Kindness, Forgiveness, Inspiration, Compassion, Servitude, Inactivity, Timidity, Overt reserve, Captivity to one's own ideas, Tendency to cling to outdated ideas, Conformity, Good advice, Alliance, Humility, Divine wisdom, Teaching, Help from superiors, Patience, Organization, Peace

As we each individually have diverse religious/spiritual traditions in families and social circles, the COVID-19 pandemic binds us together in common purposes to do what we must to have comprehension of the greater human family guided internally by God, beyond dogmas and acknowledge the common bond that we are all One Life, refracted into mirrors of each other.

5 - What Lies Above - Possibilities
QUEEN OF PENTACLES (Reversed): Security


Prosperity is indicated, yet this Queen has the depth of understanding to realize that the means to perpetuate its benefits is to be generous with her abundance of material wealth. The female figure in this archetypal image is thus contemplating her symbol, the Pentacle, which shows the truth of her being a noble soul. There is definite security and liberty in this right use of the fruits of providence. In an interpretation, attributes of personal well-being, magnificence, grace, opulence, extreme comfort, generosity, and prosperity are noted. The person in the client's life is most likely a woman who is clever and sensuous; ambitious in a practical and useful direction, yet quiet and domesticated, affectionate and kind, charming - and she also might appear to be timid in her approach. In an adverse situation, this understanding of the underpinnings of true prosperity is corrupted, whereas a woman with evil intentions or suspicious temperament could be indicated. Suspense, fear, and mistrust come part and parcel with the individual represented in such a manner. False prosperity, i.e. a front for misuse and trickery, meaning that this person is not to be trusted - is another personality description. Responsibilities neglected and a fear of failure are also indicated. Interaction with other archetypes thus determines whether or not the Queen of Pentacles is of benefit to the client during a session. The direction indicated by archetypal images can be altered, i.e. changed from the negative to positive via course correction on the part of the client, so the outcome can also be transformed. Once again, like unto her mate, the King, as well as some of the other archetypes, the image is "two-edged" in meaning.
State of Mind: Prosperity and well-being, Abundance, Opulence, Extreme comfort, Generosity, Security, Liberty, Magnificence, Grace, Dignity, A rich person but generous and charitable, Noble soul, False prosperity, Distrustful person

This could easily represent a sword hanging above our heads as that of the mythic Damocles, especially should governmental agencies be hiding ulterior motives, when offering aid during this time of crisis. Always keep eyes wide open at times when such assistance is presented.


6 - What Lies Before - Future
ACE OF WANDS: Invention


This archetype is representative of manifestation, i.e. the infusion of Spirit into matter via the primal creative act known universally as birth. This is point Genesis - the origin of an idea, which is to materialize physically once it has been visualized, is thus indicated here. The commencement of a new venture or direction in one's personal life is shown in the Ace of Wands. The radiant glow emanating from the hand holding the staff conveys the concept of initiation or commencement; the entry of something new into the world. In a counseling session, this image could indicate an actual birth of a human being into this life, or else it could even be a more abstract form of birth. A personal experience laced with meaning could be beginning for the client, should this archetype be present during a session. Depending upon interaction with other archetypes, is the endurance or longevity of the new energy issuing forth, i.e. detrimental interaction could represent a beginning of something which never reaches full realization; an aborted try at a new direction and the personal disappointment which accompanies this event. Plans and preparations may not even reach materialization in this instance. The overall positive quality of this archetype should be emphasized. In the event of a negative impact, the client is thus reminded that a change in outlook, i.e. perception, and subsequent course of action will set the stage for generation of a positive energy flow that will allow creation to flow freely.
State of Mind: Creation, Beginning, Invention, Start of an undertaking, Fortune, Enterprise, Gain, Inheritance, Birth of a child, Beginning of a meaningful experience, Adventure, Escapade, Destiny, Commencement

The old adage, "Necessity is the Mother of Invention" comes into play here. As we observe the world shutting down the flow of goods and services following a global stock market meltdown triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic scare, we have to figure out how to fend for ourselves as local communities sharing resources with neighbors. Grow "victory gardens" in our back yards, swapping seeds, produce, and clothing, etc. as needed to build true "grassroots economies" in each community; then teach these skills to others, so they may be multiplied.

7 - Yourself
FIVE OF WANDS: Contention


A situation of contention, whereas opposition is being faced, whether involving other people, a particular problem, or a set of circumstances. Anywhere in life the conscious force of an individual quests to overcome external forces to achieve a specific outcome, a struggle or competition occurs and this card is relevant. The figures are locked in this struggle. The game which the figures play, or this "sham" fight, does not necessarily represent a mock situation. The strife, turmoil, competition, struggle, etc. most often is a very real experience in the client's life. The interaction with other archetypes during a session will shed light on the specifics of the state of contention indicated by this image. Any form of opposition may fall under the symbolism of the Five of Wands, and the client must always remember that the power to overcome any obstacle in life comes from the Source within us. Metaphysically, we are all channels of the infinite wisdom of the God-Mind inside of our souls, and one may tap into this energy for seeking resolution of the conflict in which one is engaged. Nothing is predestined, i.e. "cast in stone," and a change in focus, whether it is a mental attitude or change in direction, can alter the situation, and thus in a subsequent session the configuration of images would reflect such improvement. The power of the Universal Mind of God within us is greater than that of anything, or anyone, opposing us at any given time.
State of Mind: Unsatisfied desires, Struggle, Labor, Violent strife, Obstacles, Endeavors, Strenuous competition, Trickery, Contradictions, Complexity, Involvement, Caution against indecision, Contention, Opposition

The longer this situation of sheltering in place within our homes lasts, the tougher it is to stay positive in our thoughts as we ride it out. Frustration may take hold with people "acting out" in irrational ways, thus external means of enforcement (police, military, etc.) could be required to keep the peace in "hot spots." Trust in the Light of Source within us to keep us in all our Hearts .



8 - Your Environment
THE CHARIOT: Manipulates the Physical World


Physical Mastery; the Forces of Nature are under control, but the Spiritual drive behind them is not understood. An invisible barrier stands between the mind of Man and the Mind of God, and this blinds the Charioteer, thus preventing his conscious realization of union with the Source, Victory in the material sense, on all levels. Mastery of the Elements, but not the Spirit which Guides them, therefore the Chariot rides in service to a higher authority even though the driver might presume that he is in complete control. The external manifestations of the World are his domain and the travels thereof and successful pursuit of aims within it are shown via this card. Triumph in this arena is within the Charioteer's grasp. The Dark and Light Sphinxes that draw the vehicle are beyond the driver's control, as there are no visible reins connecting the Charioteer to his means of locomotion. Therefore he is unaware of the True Guidance involved in his travels. The colors of the Sphinxes, which are representative of this, show the natural physical perception in the light of the White Beast yet the blindness regarding Spiritual matters in the darkness of the Black Beast. The Castles behind each Sphinx represent the Kingdoms thereof; the ramparts of the Fortress, his reality, shown behind the White Sphinx and the Castle of Peace, without ramparts, behind the Black Sphinx. God's Reality, as known by the Spiritually aware remains hidden from him. The Charioteer may stand before the Hierophant, but not in the presence of the High Priestess. PARALLEL ARCHETYPES: The Car, Ezekiel's Chariot, Apollo's Chariot.
State of Mind: Adversity possibly already overcome, Conflicting influences, Turmoil, Vengeance, Success, Possible voyage or journey, Escape, Rushing to a decision, Need to pay attention to details, Urgency to gain control of one's emotions, Difficulty, Trouble, Outside factors, Perplexity, Triumph, Failure, Defeat, Chaos, Fleeing from reality, Obedience, Faithfulness, Health
'
The "powers behind the curtain," i.e. the cabal, are unaware that they are losing control of the financial pyramid created by the House of Rothschild, so this COVID-19 pandemic sweeping the globe just might signal their demise and herald a new era of de-centralization on this planet.


9 - Hopes and Fears
NINE OF SWORDS (Reversed): Despair


Whereas the Ten of Swords represents the onset of affliction, the Nine of Swords then impresses one with the experience of being afflicted. Herein is life within the "nightmare of the soul" which is part and parcel to the "dark night" described in the previous image, i.e. agony, pain despair, fright, terror, or hopelessness. Death is thus indicated here - as symbolized in the process of dying whereas the flame of faith within a person's soul has dwindled so low, it appears that even a light gust of wind could extinguish it completely. Depending upon the interaction with other archetypes, fear of the outside world or the dark, murky depths of the human subconscious mind or imprisonment, either physically or psychologically imposed could be indicated. When this archetype is representative of a person in the client's life, suspicion results and a shady character could be revealed within the heart of this individual. Or this archetype could express the client's anxiety or concern for the welfare of this person. Intuitive discernment in the light of all archetypes present in perspective is required to fully interpret the Nine of Swords. Metaphysically, when this image appears, and especially if its effects are an overpowering influence upon the client's outlook, it is important to remind the client to search diligently within his own soul via meditation. When one is centered thus, the peace, wisdom, and understanding of the divine Source will reveal the reason why this archetypal image is present. Then the faith to endure and overcome this despair shall arise.
State of Mind: Concern, Miscarriage, Anxiety over a loved one, Despair, Misery, Quarrel, Disappointment, Suspicion, Slanderous gossip, Shame, Scruple, Timidity, Shady character, Reasonable fear

Bolstered by years of fear porn in the mainstream and alternative media, contrast  has reached new heights with polarization of two political factions being the harbinger, particularly here in the United States, but also evident in Europe. Building bridges across this great divide is a path to unity which is essential for us to explore, if we truly seek to heal the ills of our shared world.


10 - Outcome
FOUR OF CUPS (Reversed): Aversion


This is an archetype that shows dissatisfaction with the present situation or conditions in one's life, and resignation with regard to any positive change forthcoming as being illusory at best. This feeling is clearly indicated by the figure's facial expression in reaction to the offering of a fourth cup from a hand appearing from within a cloud. He figures that it will bring no more consolation than the three already consumed that stand at his feet. In a counseling session, the client is weary of a certain situation or circumstance within which he/she must contend. Aversion, disgust, bitter experience, and personal disappointment are indicated. This image could represent, on a much larger scale, the "dark night of the soul" experience of being lost in a financial or emotional wasteland, whereas the contents of cups consumed or the one offered are unable to "fill the Cup of the human soul." This condition also indicates the results of decay which issued from the fruits of pleasure not in accord with universal purpose, symbolized by the effects of drinking wine. This is a demonstration of the axiom, "You reap exactly what you sow." An adverse meaning of this image with respect to interacting archetypes, could indicate a new relationship, new approaches to old problems, new knowledge, new insight, or new instruction. There is a way to deal with the problem side of this archetype, and that is to change the course of direction or action taken.
State of Mind: Weariness, Aversion, Disgust, Disappointment, Bitter experience, Stationary period in life, Disdain, New Possibilities, New relationships, New approaches to old problems, New Knowledge, New insight, Financial privation, Emotional wasteland.

The only viable solution to this cumulative dilemma for Humanity on many levels, is to awaken from sleep, as Rip van Winkle did in the tale by Washington Irving, and move beyond remorse of losing twenty years; missing the fact that George III was replaced by George Washington as president of a new republic formed by the American colonies he lost during the Revolutionary War. Talk about Future Shock! When COVID-19 passes from our radar, we will be in a whole new paradigm on this planet experiencing new social structures for which we need to adapt. Are we individually and collectively ready to take a leap of faith into the unknown? We'll see...

Lantern of the Hermit Internal illumination Blog Begins 8th Year

WHEN THE SWALLOWS COME BACK TO CAPISTRANO
Pat Boone - When the Swallows Come Back to Capistrano (1957)

Charted at #80 on Billboard chart in November 1957. B-side of "April Love" which charted at #1. This song had been #2 for the Glenn Miller Orchestra in 1940, and #4 for the Ink Spots in August 1940. Original Billboard review: "Swallows" is in the same groove as "There's a Gold Mine in the Sky", and Boone presents the Leon Rene evergreen with the same sock mastery."



Yesterday I turned 70 years of age, having been born on St. Joseph's Day (the 19th of March) in Pasadena, California at 1:20 AM. Since then, I hitch-hiked across the United States and have lived on the island of Nantucket in Southeast Massachusetts as a free-lance artist initially then later as an interior painter for the Jared Coffin House resort hotel. There, I met and married the mother of my two adult children, Mary and David (aka Damian), who live in Boylston, MA and Crossville, TN respectively. After moving away from New Bedford, I joined an Eco-village in the western part of the state, becoming a full member of it. Then I briefly visited a close friend whom I met in Nantucket, living in central Florida presently. I spent some time with my son Damian before traveling with a girlfriend from Tusla, OK to Colorado Springs, CO; lastly meeting my sister and brother for lunch in Bell, CA prior to boarding a bus back to MA, shipping belongings south via FL (where I thought I might be living) to Crossville, TN. I now live in my own 2-bedroom apartment in downtown Crossville, not far from where Damian lives with his partner Charles, who helped him set me up in my apartment. They are Godsends and I thank them both! May the Light of Source illuminate Humanity's collective Path in Life...

L.O.T.H. Re-post via Terran Cognito (Thursday, March 12, 2020)


The Event?

This is a really curious moment. Did you ever see so much fear? There’s no Churchill moment of “we have nothing to fear but fear itself on CNN! Yet dId you ever see so much courage? Especially among doctors, nurses and EMS crews?

Humanity, it seems is facing a common enemy and it’s not a country or aliens, it’s a packet of encoded RNA protein only capable of being seen under an electron microscope. A cold virus on steroids. 🦠

There’s been a lot of talk of “The Event” since 12/2012. Some expected angels in the sky, others some solar flash, and remote viewer Ed Dames scared people for a decade with his solar “kill shot” which was supposed to fry mere earthlings. As if we weren’t the very reason for the Sun being there in the first place?  Chinese Dragon Elders infiltrated New Age circles early on with tales of their plan to rescue humanity with a global banking reset (with themselves of course still in charge of it all as before) and this was to happen around the same time as the event.

Clif High is retrojecting “corona” onto his earlier web bot prediction/interpretation of “Sun disease”... presumably because the Sun has a corona but that seems a weak semantic argument to me. A more likely explanation is Clif’s close call with mortality over a unique intestinal issue, which thankfully was corrected with surgery. I get the jumpiness of Clif. I really do. I had a near death experience in 2009 over a bacteria that got into my blood stream. Septicemia. I survived yet, you never quite look at your health quite the same. A caution enters, even if you lose the fear of death with an NDE. Dying is easy, and yes conscious does not end, it’s the hospital stuff before that’s hard. And that kind of health care has only become more expensive. My bill came to $350,000.

What if, an attempt to depopulate the world and silence growing global protests royally back fired? They were warned it would not go as they expected, if they pulled such a stunt, but they did it anyway.

I could single out China but that’s kind of pointless as the control is global, the purported pandemic just began there, and every sign indicates a synthetic origin to this virus, if Indian researchers are accurate in their DNA analysis (you can see all that on Zerohedge.com) True origin is a special kind of hubris that thinks it can control the uncontrollable. Life is not controlled or controllable. All those facial recognition cameras to protect elites from the populace are pretty useless when most of your nation is wearing a surgical face mask.

Terran note: As I wrote the above in an airport ride share holding lot, I got a shared ride call, two women, one a young Chinese woman with a face mask on! LOL!  Quietest ride ever!  Took her to the Greyhound Bus station.  Did that manifest fast or what?  Well it was the focus of my attention before the ride... becareful what you focus on . because things manifest very fast now!

The connections to Italy are obvious to anyone who knows how many companies China has purchased in Italy, especially the fashion houses of Milan, the olive oil and vinegar companies and vineyards. I’m sure a similar situation is playing out in Venice although I canVertical market integration brought a Chinese virus vector to Italy which is quite remarkable given how xenophobic Italy can be. But money talks and corruption sings like a busker in Florence to deep pockets.

I don't believe this virus scare was a planned event by the Universal Cleanup crews.  It is an opportunity that I sense is being utilized to the max!  And i think all the lock downs play into that,  And have you noticed the high profile people being diagnosed with COVID19?  Is this the EVENT that triggers everything?  It's certainly beginning to look like it.  When the NCAA basketball games are canceled there's a serious panic going on!

The media Trump haters are desperate to use it to bring down Trump and that's driving the panic in Wall Street and in stores for toilet paper (I can't quite figure that one out, its not the flu!).

Its a time for discernment of the heart.  If you are in your mind you're gonna have a rough ride.

In the late 90s I listened to a lot of Art Bell on late night radio. The guy was a genius... but the questions raised about ETs, UFOs, ghosts etc never came to any conclusions. I’d fall asleep to those shows and wake up anxious.

Back then I was very hungry for data on ETs, and the cabal and it was hard to find when the web was new. Data on reptilians was nearly impossible to find. My awakening began early, but there are many who awakened long before me.

I Heard someone back then use the phrase “fear porn” and then I recognized the issue. The brain likes to be stimulated and fear triggers the brain to dream up survival scenarios and it just lights up the brain... like the 4th of July fireworks. Its also very exhausting!  JUST LOOK AT THE TRUMP HATERS? THEY'RE A WRECK! They are not well.

I stopped listening to the shows late at night. I’d catch a recording if there was an interesting guest. That helped a lot.

I also used to read and watch every channeling I could find on ETs and financial resets. The Chinese dragon storylines infiltrated the new age circles very early on and  honestly so did the Ashtar ones, some of which were real and a whole lot of them were forgeries and impersonations.

I had a kind of binary way of looking at information sources of data. I’d follow them until they gave me something I knew was bogus. Then I’d drop them.  It wasn’t until I met Heather that I became more analog in looking at data, sometimes finding gems in complete bullshit. Truth wiggles out from the strangest sources at times.  Witness Austin Steinbart (if that's his real name) some truth and some bullshit. Agenda unknown but he's not Q.

Just as a lie can look like the truth if surrounded by a lot of truth so can a truth look like a lie if surrounded by a lot of lies, but only if you are working from the mind! The brain is easily tricked as brain neurons which are designed to process errors and adjust them to past experience, even the data only matches 75% and that’s so that we can function as biological entities.  In sometimes hostile environments. We call that common sense, but common sense has a peer opinion component to it too, and peer opinions are not always correct when the mob is moving.

There's a lot I'm sensing right now, I'm not going to say what I am sensing because I could be wrong, and if I am right I don't want to tip any hands of ongoing ops of the Universal Cleanup Crews.  But so much is in motion right now!

Stay in Heart, stay in Joy, dis-ease has at its root the absence of both.  Why are children unaffected by this disease, in part because they are in joy and having fun, and yes they do have fresh and new immune systems unaffected by decades of pollution, bad diet and emotional carnage.

Love you ALL!  Stay Healthy, and be in joy!
