Who knew.. Oscar 8 x 11 gouache on black
Not just Oscar.. many suggest 2022 is when things really took 'a turn', not necessarily for the better.
Covid, shut downs, school kids suffering, small business shut down (big business were permitted to remain open (* don't forget) the average citizen was told to stay in and shut up, while *politicians were being exposed for travel and parties... Protests, travel restrictions, drug injected -promises made to the vaccinated, this would keep them safe and from spreading the disease *never proven true, now known false*, while the unvaccinated were shunned and shamed. *Dr.s Nurses, firemen/women, police - all let go' when they were needed most because they stood up for what they believed. Terrible conditions in many homes for the elderly... homelessness increasing. So many lessons learned & we have been witness to most of it.
We are still watching. Athletes (notably boxers), high school kids all suffering with heart issues. Heart attacks in young people have been increasing, particularly among those under 40. Between 2000 and 2016, the rate of heart attacks in this age group rose by 2% annually, and since 2019, heart attack rates among individuals aged 18 to 44 have increased by over 66%. Cancer too increasing in the young at an alarming rate... all attributed to lifestyle choices, environment etc. Work stress and unable to find a job stress, people still struggling from price increases and volume decreases no wonder we're grumpy!!! Who can blame us - the government. Phhhbt.
So.. no wonder! Go figure! Cut yourself some slack if feeling grumpy and gravitating towards Oscars mood, so be it, embrace your inner grouch from time to time, it's part of the natural process. There is much happening to justify your feelings'. Who wouldn't understand why many are anxious & depressed, hopeless even... sadly, many are becoming more medicated', prescriptions that they might end up taking for the rest of their lives. Instead of telling people they are normal to feel bad from time to time and possibly teaching people HOW to go through and overcome, instead the current system in place is still medicating, dulling 'life' with pills. This does not fix anything, it can and has indeed too many times, complicated things. Yesterday, I listened to a fantastic podcast & am so thankful for Neuroscience Expert (Dr. Tara Swart), to paraphrase, she had perviously been responsible for putting people in the hospital (psych ward) and injecting them with medications - against their will, for things they said - that she is NOW experiencing and saying! Especially regarding Near Death Experiences & being able to communicating with our loved ones that have died. Dr. Swart wants us to start to listen and see the signs! I've been sharing this for years, there are signs- ask, believe and receive. What have you got to lose? Conscience is awakening to levels we have dismissed but are there- proven. Listen to the podcast, read the evidence... learn what's out there. SO much more than we have been led to believe, that's just it: We have been led, with lies... intentionally dumbed & numbed with medications down so we don't reach our full potentials.
Some swear by medication - so be it... everything is a lesson God will have us learn and somethings WE must learn on our own, usually by experience. IF medication is bringing you relief -thank God! Be aware... medication can permanently alter your brain, especially if taking long term. Seek God first, I wished someone had told me this earlier in life. Too many times I have thought, I don't think I'd be suffering with this pain (now, that I would never wish on anyone) had I not taken anti-depressants for decades. All we can do is share our experiences, God will make sure those who need to see it & learn from it will. That is what I mean when I say: Trust in God. Expect miracles, see signs.
There is no journey... only an awakening!
My prayer today: May God bless you and show you the light, the way & the truth.
