HI Pod. Our State has been the best state to live in throughout the last 2 years - with only 3 mask mandates (2 of those were lockdowns) in 2021, which lasted between 4-10 days on average. Because I have a mask exemption from my GP (obtained in 2020) I haven't been badly affected at all. I am still allowed to attend work as long as I show my evidence of my exemption. We have to sign in, I don't carry the app, I sign in where necessary. I don't go to venues, and have a quiet, home-body life so I haven't had to have a PCR test (2 years - still going strong!) Except in hospital, but it was a quick swish around the mouth. Even in hospital for 2 days, I maintained my mask exemption. It didn't make the nurses happy, as they had to put on extra rubber gear to come near me. But things are changing dramatically, I wouldn't be surprised if we're all moved into a major lockdown in the New Year. I just did an extra large shop because I think that. So far, no-one has asked me about my vaccine status. I was carrying some printed out documentation around with me in case I needed to have a deeper discussion, but so far, not needed.
Clif High thinks that the whole CV-19 lockdown/mandates issue will be swept aside by hyperinflation and bank restructuring, starting with banks in Turkey (already underway). So the face of things will change, but the underlying kernel of truth will remain - we are at war.
Because I now work in Welfare, I have been tasked with taking calls about welfare payments for people affected by the pandemic. This was just landed on me on Friday. I am yet to take my first call, probably Tuesday morning. I have already seen people taking the calls - there are so many. Because my employer is a contractor to a government service, probably the V mandate thing will be raised within the next 2-4 weeks. I am expecting it. I will not stay in the position. It is scary, but I have been guided over the last 10 years through other traumas and always came out on top. My grown up daughter who lives with me is 180 degrees averse to my thoughts and policies on this matter. That is something I have to bear. She likes to lecture me, presumably because she thinks I don't understand the basics. But experience has shown me that as the wheel turns, those on top go down, and those on the bottom rise again. It is an ever-turning wheel. You just need to stay centred and realize the nature of things, that in time, everything passes.
I am now in the position of having gathered a small amount of wisdom through living through ups and downs, but not able to share it with anyone who will listen. I don't believe in hammering on closed minds, as that is personal choice. I am not an evangelist. I have always felt distaste for those who wish to influence and change the minds of others. Being creative is a way to reach others with ideas, but it is not aggressive.
Because of my health, I am in the vulnerable sector of society, and my daughter fears she will bring the virus in through her being out and about, but she doesn't want to change her lifestyle. She thinks I should protect myself with the V (double V, then booster!!!!) so that she doesn't have to change her lifestyle. She has already informed me that she won't. I must take my chances. I know about that way of thinking - but my spirit doesn't feel vulnerable. I realize my body may let me down, but I still feel strong. I think the most I can do is approach each day with a positive outlook, because I know I still have much to contribute. I think obviously science matters, and scientific understanding about why things happen, but there are also spiritual imperatives. Maybe I am still needed in this form in this location. If not, that may change. Of course, I help myself with supplements, and there is always more I can do. It is a constant process of refining.
Because we have had the hard border in this State (look at a map and see how much of the continent WA takes up) we have been naturally isolated, and the ban on international travel has kept us relatively safe. That will change when the borders open up again (soon). It only took one French traveller to come into Perth before Christmas and we all had to wear masks constantly since Dec 24 through to now - in a heatwave, with 3 days of heat above 40 degrees - it got up to 44 degrees on Christmas Day and we live practically next to the ocean. I pity anyone who lives even 100 to 200km inland. It has just been a blithering blast of heat. I thought of all the children forced into masks in this heat. I look at my small dog and realize she is luckier than all those children.
Living through the bifurcation is like balancing upon 2 levels all day long. I also have seen a type of cloud in the sky that I identify with bifurcation energies. We never used to have that type of cloud - it is a new phenomenon where the cloud looks stretched out, like wispy tendrils but from one layer to the other, and also there is a smoky type of slightly pink cloud that looks like cotton wool that has been all mussed up and stretched to cover a large area of sky. You almost feel you could reach up and touch it, but it also feels far away. I wonder if other people see these cloud changes. Ever since Dec 21, 2012 when I had a significant cloud experience I have been sensitive to the incoming energies which are made visible in clouds. In 2012 I already knew that atmospheric energies were pointing the way.
Sorry for the long post, but I am among friends and many of you probably are going through exactly the same type of thing.
I forgot to mention that I am currently knitting a No Mandate Blanket - where every stitch is done with intention to shut down all the mandates. It is a large blanket to cover a King Size bed, so you get my point. Of course, you would have to be Woo to understand where I am coming from with this effort. I mentioned it to a colleague at work and she treated me as a loon: "What has a blanket got to do with vaccines?"
