Doom & Gloom

Sounds familiar. The ones here, saw me put one of their brothers in the green bin. Now they alert me to when one died and where the body is. They are insistent, that they now be placed in the green bin. They follow me to the bin, saying their goodbyes, I say mine. When I close the lid they become silent. Then they beat me to the front of the house. Perching quietly now, they grieve.

More proof that death is not a real and necessary part of Nature. If it were, there would be no need for grief.

It is interesting that animals also grieve a loss of life, even if they understand better than us about death not being the end.

I still cannot understand though why death would not be a necessary part of nature. We are here to learn our lessons and then move on, we need death or else we would be stuck here forever.

There are portals we can't see, but animals can.

Gloomy thought!

Time for some 5D?

Yes reminders are helpful!

This meme is a reference to Jung’s quote that Hitler was the best thing to happen to Germany. He was talking about a purging of the collective shadow.

The famous one in the center, was considered a spiritual bohemian. Before. Not after.

Yes, esotericism which went terribly wrong!

Fun read: "Morning of the Magicians".

I wonder if he had a choice between to follow the Light or not, or if a spiritual awakening for certain souls would only lead to disaster. Nature or nurture?

 

[dr. farr]

Good point-from my studies I don’t think he had a choice.

 

[Ukpoohbear]

Yes I intuitively agree. What we were before we were born describes how far we can progress. None of us can escape the process of evolution. The planets are in complete control.

Maybe that is why food is so enjoyable or the idea of ‘being in the moment’ - I *can* choose to enjoy my dinner 🍽 (as long as I am given the opportunity to)

This is a picture of a silver bucket. I’m going to run a bath now because it is 20:19 and time is getting on. I’ll be in bed by about 9:15. Any later than that will be too late probably.

 

[Ukpoohbear]

Here is a picture of two silver buckets. I originally planned to post this photo tomorrow but I am in bed by 20:59 so I thought why not. I’ve taken a bath in the morning before, also in the afternoon. The evening is my usual time to have one. I have never taken a bath late at night or two baths in one day though. I have never known anyone to take two baths in one day.

Huh?
Death is a real and necessary part of life. Perhaps a sacred part of life...? Think it through.
And death, and any other kind of loss, being a part of life is precisely why we do grieve.

Can you conceive of this changing?

I agree with your statement, except I'm adding the caveat, "For NOW, under CURRENT Circumstances beyond our control...."

It doesn't FEEL right or natural to me, and I'm not the only one. The Gnostics, for example, based their opinion on why death isn't real and natural on an evil force they called "the Demiurge", which is preventing us from seeing the TRUE nature of existence.

Is war a real and necessary part of life? Looking at history and current events, one could postulate that it's "just Human nature", and always has been and will be.

‘We are presently dealing with the accumulation of a whole society that has worshipped its light side and refused the dark, and this residue appears as war, economic chaos, strikes, racial intolerance. The front page of any newspaper hurls the collective shadow at us.’
