St. Patrick’s Day


Day 1


The world is in a hysteria over Covid-19. Everything is changing and shifting everywhere. Businesses have been shut down, or business restricted.


Hoagie is home for 2 weeks and doesn’t know what he’s going to do. I suggested journaling his journey through this. The more I contemplated this idea the more I found it to be an intriguing notion.

So many things are different right now. Life is not functioning the same for most people - physically and spiritually.  So, I thought, who knows what can come of this experience.


A testament to the change of things, there was a safety meeting already this morning. The professor was off his mountain and came by. ‘Jim’ came down. Hoagie woke up. It was a good time.

Then it was just time to chill out and get ready for work. I am outside ‘The Job’ right now waiting to go in. We will see how the day develops.


Day 2


Wednesday, March 18, 2020; 0934

I didn’t get the chance to sit and write a second time yesterday. By the time I got home from The Job, I was just exhausted. I slept most of the night, except for when I woke up for The Witching Hour.

There were dreams. At least two of them took place at Old Geistopia - one inside and one out. For the outside one there was all sorts of activity. I do t really know what was going on. But, in the midst of it all a cat appeared. Not some domestic cat but a larger, wild, predator type - Jaguar/Panther/Puma [all essentially the same creature.] everyone panicked and scurried. I found myself not concerned and then pointed out that it was preoccupied fighting with some other large cat - but not the same breed. I don’t know what that one was. Everyone then calmly started to move away, until that fight was over. [which took place in the lot part of the property.] Then there was panic again as the creature turned and headed towards us, except it wasn’t the cat anymore. It was a large dark-greyish snake. Again, everyone panicked - afraid of the poisonous snake. Even in the dream, I looked at the head and determined it was not venomous.


The inside dream had me in the girls bedroom, which was very different. [I know it has been changed in real life.] In this dream I was talking to Big ‘D.’ She was telling me they had all gone to Hersheypark the day before. I said I had been there too. [In the dream there were images of me being there.] I felt upset because I could have seen them at the park but no one told me they were there.

The rest of the day yesterday was fairly normal. Work took more out of me than I would have thought. There was some drama there but not enough to worry about at the moment.


Hoagie enjoyed a day of rest.


I woke this morning about 0700. By 0730 I had decided to head to the other end of The Valley to do laundry. I decided to go that way because Wisconsin said she got a message for me to check in with Craze. I figured I’d do that today before the world gets too insane.


I woke wondering if I should just give up on my dreams of The Rabbit Hole.


Feeling odd today. I do have some sniffles and a dry throat. I’m not concerned about the virus itself. My head is a little cloudy today as well.

Well...off to finish the laundry.


2355


After I finished the Laundry, I headed to Old Geistopia and a Pow-Wow. Neither was quite what I had anticipated, but both were needed.

The Pow-Wow left me feeling relaxed and in tune. The visit with Craze had a level of intensity to it. I left the Pow-Wow with gifts, including a project to complete. I had hoped to work at that tomorrow but it is supposed to rain so I will see just what happens.


The visit with Craze moved me. He is not doing well. He has been having dizzy spells and nausea. He had an episode while I was there and I could feel the energies shift about him. I also noticed he didn’t seem quite there. He’s always been deep in his head but this was different. It was like part of him was very distant.


The other thing I noticed was the difference I. Energies between the room we were in and the other parts of the house. We were in a very light, airy space. I could feel it extend into the next room and the. It hit a hardness, a harshness. This was coming from the next room over where Big ‘D’ was. I just don’t understand this.


I worry about Craze. I realize that he is older and we all must pass at some time, but I fear that something is sucking the life right out of him. Not just something, but the beast that has attached itself to the home. It has already attached to Boom-Dee-Aye and Big ‘D’ but it is just draining Craze. I figure that is it’s plan. When he is gone it will feed off Big ‘D’ and inevitably Boom-Dee-Aye herself. It makes me feel like I need to do workings that I don’t particularly want to engage in - for many reasons. Still, something must happen. The poor man has no exposure to positive, uplifting energy. The Princesses have commented on this several times since I left - how pappy needs me there. While I was visiting he mentioned that he doesn’t see the girls very much anymore. I told him I don’t really either. He was unaware of this.


“You don’t?”


I told him no and then told him when I have been seeing them. I cried a little as I explained things and I noticed he cried some, too.


“Well, you just do the best you can,” he said.

I video chatted with the girls later and told them that pappy needs their energies too and made them promise to make time to visit with him and call him. He loves those girls so much.


When I left we hugged a little. He thanked me for coming by and told me to come back any time.

I spent the rest of the day in a sort of haze. The energy of the world as a whole right now is very different.


The world is in a mess and it is only just beginning. Businesses are closing down. Business is slowing down.life is slowing down.


I think it is needed. I think this is our chance to breathe and take stock of our lives and our world. I feel like it is a make it or break it kind of moment in time. The true nature of mankind will reveal itself before this is all over.


Will we come through in Love and Light, with neighbor helping neighbor; stranger helping stranger? Or, will we become thieves and murderers?


Day 3


Thursday, March 19, 2020; 1142


More and more of Them World’ is shutting down. Malls are closed, large stores, dentists, nail salons. Banks and restaurants are turning more towards DT service and business is declining.


I hear reports of some bad things going on and some national guard deployment. Of course, there are rumors of things turning to martial law. I don’t really know what is happening but I know that it is Precise & Perfectly Placed.


I’m sitting at The Grove right now. I needed to get out and find some peace. ‘The World’ is very heavy right now, yet energies are more active then ever. I find that even Karma is moving at an accelerated rate.


I find myself wondering if this is all what I was feeling a few weeks back when I had my anxiousness.


I think we are at a crossroads in the history of man. I think this experience will either make us or break us as a species/race. I think this is The Universe’s way of helping us.


For so long now, we have been running this intense energy. We want everything faster. We want it now. Me first. We have been focused on growing and advancing and money...omg what we’ve done with money.


We are now being forced to not only slow down, but almost stop completely. It is a period of introspection for everyone. We will all have to truly face ourselves. This could be very good, or it could be very, very bad. It all depends on where we put our focus and how we choose to move through the next few weeks.


I think there is enough reason for concern. This is definitely a thing and we should be cautious. However, I do not see it as a need for panic. It is a thing and we have faced many things in just the last two decades alone. We got through them all and we will get through this.


I think, ultimately, we are going to see great changes in the world and the economy and the life experience for all. Again, they could be very good changes...or...they could be devastating. Ultimately, the choice is ours.


I think we will have the shutdown until mid-April, but by then we will start to bounce back quickly to a more normal routine. The economy will suffer for some time beyond that, but again we will see it bounce back at a healthy rate.


Life will return to normal. There will be losses and casualties along the way. But we will conquer this and, along the way, perhaps we can discern ways to keep it from happening again. [Or at the very least how to deal with it if it does.]


I think we will also see a shift towards more ‘spiritually’ inclined being. Perhaps more of an awareness of the Oneness of All.


But, there is always a chance that we will slip into the other direction.


I recently read similar things in two different and random writings.


One was an excerpt from the works of Carlos Castaneda. It talked about a predator of man. One that works at a different level than we perceive. It feeds on our fear and all things negative.


The other was from an Archangelic Calendar and it talked about how there has been a rift and there are now two time streams flowing simultaneously. Which one we succumb to is entirely up to us.


Of course, that same writing was speaking of how, now, The First Seal of Revelations has been opened.


When we hear the trumpet blow and Gabriel opens The Second Seal our choices will have been made and it will be too late to shift things.


This is a vital time for humanity.


On a personal level, the energies have been very intense. Sometimes it is hard to feel grounded. Everything is hitting me much harder. I’m not worried about it. It just makes life a little harder to lead...normally.


It is part of the reason I almost wish they would close out restaurant through this. I need to get grounded and, unfortunately, the best way to do that is to just let things work themselves through.

I feel like I will be out of work soon. Maybe it is a choice that I have to make for myself.


Anyway, I must find a restroom and The Professor might be along shortly.


Day 4


Friday, March 20, 2020; 2128


I don’t even know what to make of today.


Let’s start with the fact that it is a 9 Day.


So, the rest of yesterday was what it was. The rotes sir did come along and we hung out at The Grove for a little while. It was a nice visit, and relaxing. Of course, the energies at The Grove were running very high. I was very Zenful - meditative. I feel like I was receiving all sorts of information.


When we were done, I headed to the grocery store for a few small items and I grabbed a quick bite to eat. After that I made one more social call and headed back to The Dormitory.


The rest of the night was very mellow. I was just in a zone. I am without a doubt that there is something very powerful happening in the world right now. I’m no speaking of the virus itself. That is but a tool, an illusion. There are greater shifts at play. I am more convinced now than I was before that this is exactly what had me so anxious just a few weeks ago.


“Something is going to happen. I feel like it will be ‘bad’ at first but that good things will come of it.”

I have been very in tune with the Spiritual Realms lately. It all started with the Moon last Monday. Then there was Hoagie’s Reiki session. And, since then, my Practices have grown stronger and clearer. My visions have intensified. Even my Dreamtime has become more poignant. For instance, I had one the other night and the message was clear, “This should be taken very seriously.” In fact, that was just about four days ago. I woke with no doubt that thi message was in regards to the current viral threat about The World.

Though I do think we need to take the matter seriously, I do not think that we are in a place to panic quite yet. I have had many visions and messages lately.


I cannot stress enough that currently The Universe is on two paths - which we follow is up to us.


Day 5


Saturday, March 21, 2020; 1032


I did not get to finish writing last night.


Day 7


Monday, March 23, 2020; 0456


Apparently, I didn’t get to finish writing that day either. But, that was when I was picking the girls up, so I was kind of distracted.


It has been a strange few days. They have been filled with activity and energies and happenings.

Thursday night I inadvertently consumed almost a full quart of half & half. This would cause me to have stomach problems on Friday morning. That would cause me to call off of work. Due to new precautions caused by The Virus, calling off on Friday would require me to also have off on Saturday. Sunday I would return to work, but not for a full shift.


On Friday, I piddled away at a project that I inherited at a recent Safety Meeting. It is a coffee table made from repurposed wood, including a half pallet. It took some time, but before the day was out, I would have the leg frames completely assembled and the entire piece sanded down and ready to paint/stain. Unfortunately, I did not get that far.


One of the Safety Meetings last week also had me being gifted a gift for ‘Jim.’ Finally, on Friday morning I would be able to share it with him. That would lead to A Day with ‘Jim.’ Both he and Hoagie have been off of work all week long and they are getting a bit stir crazy. So, ‘Jim’ wanted company. We would hang out off and on throughout the day and he would grill chicken at night. [Also, giving us some chicken of our own to cook at another time - which might be today.] It was in between these little sessions with ‘Jim’ that I wold get the table leg assembly together.


Sometimes days like this can irritate me. I really had things that I wanted to work on and get done. I saw the day as extra and a bonus. I was supposed to have been at work all day after all. But, there was social time involved. That is how my whole week has gone really. Every time I turned around, someone was wanting to hang out. Usually it was The Professor, who was finding his way down from his mountain more often this week.


It’s not so much that I mind the socializing. I just have things I am trying to accomplish. I am so far from my own personal Goals still. This can sometimes be the challenge in just letting life flow. [Or, is it just a problem with Ego?] You can set plans in place. You can know what you want to do. But, then, life flows and you are not really getting to those things. So, very often, my ‘distraction’ is socializing. In the past, this would start to work on me and I would feel guilty.


More recently [and though it did work on me a bit this week] I think that social time is important. In fact, I know it is. Still, it can be frustrating when you want to get things done. But, then, things always get done in their time. I have seen that be the case time and time again. And, I am glad that I had this time with everyone in the last week. We have no idea how all of this is going to go, nor how long any of it will last. I still fear that we are only at the beginning of it all.


Saturday, I would take time to spend with The Princesses. We had lunch and went for groceries and even stopped to see Craze. This would turn out to be a good choice because as of yesterday they have decided to self-isolate and Old Geistopia is off limits for the ‘foreseeable future.’


I noticed, on Saturday, that there is a definite Theme in the messages from Spirit these days - not just for me, but across the board. Wisconsin shared her most recent blog post and I found that it was very in line with everything that I have been picking up for days.


This is a strange and powerful time - here in the mundane world and even more so in the Spiritual Realm. It seems we are being given a choice - a chance to save ourselves.


Everything is pointing to a need for returning to simpler ways, simpler thinking, simpler being. It is a tie to return to our Spiritual nature. This is not so much about worshipping gods or attending temples. It is more a matter of beginning to really see The World around us - its beauty, its blessings, its bounty. It is about being grateful for all that is. Even negative energies help in creation.


We must give thanks for who we are and how we truly came to be. We must give thanks for our pasts and our presents and, most importantly, our futures. We must give thanks for friends and enemies alike.


We must slow down, look, and listen.


We must connect with The All once more.


In and amidst these messages came stranger ones. There were messages about dark forces at play - but not man made forces. These messages did not involve war or conspiracies. They are dark forces that prey even deeper in existence. They are forces that infect our minds and our hearts and our spirits. They live and thrive in Fear. [They are The Falsehood of Good and Evil.]


There have also been messages about the beginning of Revelations. How, this is but the first Seal opened.


I do not disagree with either of these notions. I do believe it could be the Revelations. But, I do not believe that Revelations is what we believe it is. I do believe in the darker forces. But, I do not believe they have more power than what we allow them.


There is also a hint of conspiracy in the air. [Even I had sniffed it out for a moment.] People are talking about the NWO and how this is all about ‘thee people in control’ manipulating us into a world of submission and slavery.


*smh*


Of course, I suppose, it is possible. It is possible that there is a group of elites who want all the power and all of the money. This has been the nature of man for a very long time. But, I do not see ite purpose in ‘taking’ everything. Putting the world into slavery truly accomplishes nothing. If men feel they have no hope they will either revolt or die...or die trying to revolt. Even the truants would eventually get bored for life would become stagnate.


No. If I were an elite who wanted all the power and money I wouldn’t take it from the common man. Instead, I would dangle it before him. I would let him believe that he can work for it and earn it and have it. I would let them toil away with the hope and illusion that one day they could have more or better. Then, I would put into place systems, establishments, protocols, and laws that would ensure that most of their efforts benefited myself first. If they have anything left over good for them - better for me. They will take that and make more for themselves which will make more for me.


I do not fear my freedoms being stripped from me. That is a childish approach. If there is an elite group trying to take over the world, I would like to think they are at the very least intelligent and mature.


Truly, I believe that such theories and mindsets are caused by those darker forces. They need us to live in fear. They need us to be suspicious and paranoid. Just as The Light grows through Love, The Dark grows through Fear.


The Dark is not evil. That is a primitive thought. The Dark is as it is. The Dark is a natural force, no different than The Light. They are nature and they are balance. One cannot be without the other. Even in a world devoid of all evil, there would still be The Dark. It is pain and loss and doubt and fear and anger. Even th East Light among us must face and wrestle with these things. Jesus himself questioned and fretted at Gethsemane. He had his Darkness - brief, but existent. In the Temples, in his rage - just as it may have been - he had his Darkness.


Nonetheless, something is happening. Whatever it may be.


I have had more and more Spiritual Sessions. This is what has made the past several days most difficult. I have almost been in constant meditation on some level or another. Dreamtime has amped up. Visions and messages have increased. Energy is pulsing and coursing through me.


Of course, Thursday [late] into Friday would see Ostara, The Spring Equinox. This must be included in the calculations. [I also find it not very coincidental that all of this is happening at such a time in the calendar.]


I mention all of this because I did go to The Job yesterday. But, I was not doing well. I was very heavy and zoned. More than once someone would ask me if I was ok. I was. It’s just we had very little business and The Jo was not the distraction that it normally is, so I was very...in tune.


I did not feel right all day long. I was just counting down the hours as they passed. I just didn’t feel right. I felt out of place. Like I said, I was heavy. Finally, closer to the end of my shift the opportunity would come to leave early. I took it. I just needed to get home.


I didn’t realize just how true that was until I was home.


I was so very spiritually charged - almost too much. I ended up meditating/sleeping most of the evening into the night. I had laid down several times after I got home. Then I would get up and try to do something but run just ended up laying down again. My Third Eye was buzzing and throbbing. I know I had visions, but, as usual, I do not know what they were.


I have fallen out of routine with my daily practices over the past week. With Hoagie being home all the time it has been harder to find the time and place to perform them. Still, in my mind's eye I try to make the effort every day.


My stomach/bowels still have not quite recovered. But, then, I haven’t really eaten right in days.

I am conflicted.


I am worried, or concerned, about the next several weeks financially. Still, I cannot shake the feeling that everything will be ok. I am attempting to not put too much focus on either train of thought. This is nothing worse than anything I have faced before. Still, there are greater changes to come.


Let us see how the week unfolds.


For now, my only solid ‘plans’ are trying to have a lunch with The Princesses again tomorrow and returning to work for my shift on Thursday.
