It is…Sunday, March 22, 2020. Time...Splitting.

Theme - A Return

My week was filled with many [and I do mean many] meditations. The long and the short of them seem to be that it is time for us to return to simpler ways. I think that, with that, also comes a return to a more spiritual nature to things. Not only in our minds and hearts, but in the world around us. Already, I am seeing energies working at accelerated rates - things such as Karma.

Lesson - Focus

What you feed energy into grows. This is most definite, even if it only grows in our minds. What you believe, you see. I think now, more than ever, it is important for us to know this. There is less distraction in our lives now as work and school come to a halt. Our thoughts will wander more. The World is working from a Mass Consciousness more so than any period in history before us. What we focus on is what we will get.

Observation - Stillness

There has been a stillness over The World these past several days. It is the kind of stillness that I have only ever felt on a Holi-day. Whatever is happening right now is powerful. It is blanketing us...but into what kind of slumber?

The Post

It is a crazy time in The World. COVID-19 has impacted us on all levels. People are sick. People are dying. Businesses are being made to shut their doors temporarily. Many people are out of work, such as Hoagie and ‘Jim.’ Hell...entire countries are shutting down.

In other countries they have perhaps seen the worst of it by now. Here in The States it is just beginning to rear its head. Though I do agree with some of the extreme measures being taken, I do not think that this is a time for panic or despair. Life will return to normal.

Well...as normal as it can. There will be shifts and changes. But, ahead of us, I see good things. I see prosperity and thriving and heath and happiness. It will take some time [how much I can not say] and The World will not be left without scars.

As for now - for me anyway - life continues on as life does. [Mostly.] I still have scheduled work and chores to which I must attend. My plans, my hopes, my dreams all remain in tact.

I have been having strange times since last Monday’s Full Moon. Most of the remainder of that week is in a blur for me. In fact, Sunday had found me fairly off-kilter. I ended up missing a shift at work because of it. However, all of my workings had gained power and potency up to that point. The practices were stronger. The visions clearer. The powers had grown more intense. The truth is, at times, I feel like I am still in one of those moments.

I feel surprisingly calm and reassured at this time in history. It’s as if I feel like, bad as it may seem, everything is happening Precise & Perfectly Placed. Spirit is definitely up to something. I have come across all sorts of theories and writings. I will not get deep into them at this time, but they all point to the same thing - what is happening needs to happen. It’s been coming for some time.

It is...Divine.

Though I say life, for me, marches on normally, I must also say that things have been very wonky. Which, I suppose, is normal for me.

Like I said, Sunday was a very strange day for me. I was very disoriented from the moment I awoke. It was challenging because I knew I had to go to work. I have had many days over the past several weeks when I thought I was having more difficulties than I could get through in a day of work. This was the first day I had seriously contemplated calling in. I [almost] felt kind of trippy. That feeling would actually last all day.

I did head to work, but I did not stay. As fate would have it, soon after I arrived, someone asked me how I was and my response was, “Eh.” The United then informed me that he received a call from the DM at 0600 telling him that, “symptoms or not, anyone not feeling 100% needed to be sent home.” So, I went.

Later in the day I would venture to The Putter’s for a Safety Meeting with The Professor. I thought that might set my world straight again. It did not. I struggled through the rest of the day...and then it was Monday. It was a day off. A day of rest. I really did not do too much. I stayed around The Dormitory and put my things in order. This would be the day that The Governor would announce that he was asking all non-essential businesses to close. This was the day that Hoagie found out he will be out of work for a little while. [Needless to say, he wasn’t exactly happy when he learned I would still be going to work.]

Tuesday, The World would change. I headed off to work as Hoagie remained home. Work was strange. We were only operating from a DT window. This did not make a lot of people happy, but it was what it was. There was a lot of discordant energy about work on Tuesday, but I accepted that as natural for the circumstances.

I would work on Wednesday as well, but only 5 hours in the evening.

So, in all fairness, I am having a gap in times at the moment. I try to write something out and then I think, “No. That’s not when that happened.”

I worked on either MOnday or Tuesday. I had the other one off. On Wednesday I did work in the evening.

I did spend a day getting things in order.

On Wednesday I would go and do laundry. This is also the day that I went to visit Craze. He hasn’t been well. I did not know that, but Wisconsin had received a message that I needed to go see him. So, I made the time immediately. He has been experiencing dizziness and nausea. No one, I guess, really has an explanation as to why. He did have an episode while I was there and I do remember it clearly. I remember how I felt. The way my hand went up. The energies.

Nonetheless, that was Wednesday.

I did work at night, but I was not really into it at that point. I have become disillusioned with The Job, but that tale is not for now. Still, it was playing on me. But, that was not why I wasn’t in the mood to go to work. I was having this overwhelming feeling that I wouldn’t be to work on Friday. In fact, I felt as though Wednesday night would be my last night at work for some time.

Thursday I was off.

The days haven’t been what I would like recently. I have been having difficulty getting to the things that I would like to do. It’s not necessarily a bad thing. After all, life has been very Precise & Perfectly Placed despite my challenges. Things have happened that have needed to happen. I have seen a great deal of healing take place over the past few days.

So, Thursday involved a great deal of socializing and running about to take care of some things.

Thursday night I was in a haze when I got back to The Dormitory. It was very similar to Sunday’s feeling actually. After life settled down and Hoagie would go to sleep, I would have some cereal and go to bed myself.

Friday morning I awoke with terrible stomach problems. Stomach and bowels.

Do not fear. I know what caused this and it wasn’t the virus. Just another moment of Matt being Matt. But, that is not a story for now either. The whole thing persisted through the morning and after some coaxing and guidance, I decided to call off from work. I didn’t really want to but I felt it was the best thing I could do. After all, I did not want to spend my day at work running to the restroom. Nor did I wish to be in the restroom under such conditions while I was at work.

The day was not as I had planned, but it certainly was what it needed to be.

I struggled with my issues throughout the day. I have since recovered. But there were som many moments, so many magicks, that happened along the way. None of it could have happened if I was at work.

One such thing was a text from Cuddlebug. She was really hoping for a Dinner excursion and wanted to know if maybe we could still work something out. At the time, in my head, I thought we had already missed our dinner excursion - not realizing it had been scheduled for Monday night. I only knew we had cancelled it. I told her that I worked until 1630 on Saturday and that I would see what I could figure out.

There were other magicks - such as ‘Jim.’ For as much as I believe that I am here to help Hoagie in his journey to self-realization, I often wonder if we are not both here for ‘Jim.’ He is such a wonderful character. I have noticed when he hangs out with us that his spirit lifts - he laughs, he loosens up, he enjoys, he mellows. There were many of these moments on Friday. In fact, more than I was prepared to handle.

I was very engrossed in The Stillness on Friday as ‘Jim,’ Hoagie, and I hung around on ‘Jim’s back porch. It was like I was feeling life settle.

Nonetheless, the day was filled with moments. It was filled with exactly what I am telling people to do now - live. Relish in the experience that is life. Share it with others. This is a time of self-exploration and discovery. But, unlike other times, now it is a discovery through others. We will discover ourselves by sharing ourselves with others. In doing this, we will know our selves...and…”Know thyself, and thou shalt truly know The World.”

As we share ourselves with each other - as we engage and entwine and discover - we will reveal man’s true nature. [What that is has yet to be determined - but I have Faith.]

Anyway, I would also steal time away from my day to work on a wood project recently...inherited. It is cut, sanded, and assembled - all but the final attachments. I must stain and paint and finish it. This will take some time but it will be awesome [I think] when it is done.

As it would turn out, my calling off Friday would also result in my not being able to go in on Saturday. Current company policies, built around The Virus, dictate that I must remain ‘symptom free’ for 48 hours before returning to work. This allows me to return to work on Sunday for my shift at 1100.

This also opened up a whole day. I immediately made plans to take The Princesses for lunch. Before it was over we would grab lunch at a DT, they would join me for grocery shopping, and we would stop to visit Craze. Just in time, too, for it seems Boom-Dee-Aye has decreed that they are closing off Old Geistopia to visitors for the foreseeable future.

There wasn’t a whole lot of conversation, and there were moments of awkwardness as Big ‘D’ sat in with us and Boom-Dee-Aye avoided. [Once I entered the house anyway.] I had actually made a quick pop in at The Putter’s to stall a bit and give them all time to socialize before I went over.

Moments are still odd with Big ‘D.’ I noticed that I don’t really look directly at her, certainly not when she is looking at me. My perception even kind of glazes over around her in general. I’m not going to make anything of that, other than an Observation, at this time. Whatever that is it will resolve itself and the moment will be...epic.

I think that for me the most interesting pick-up from this visit was Craze’s health. His spirit looked better today, I noticed. He seemed there this time, whereas the last time he seemed very distant and disconnected. He also mentioned that he had not had one of his dizzy/vomit spells in some time. I realized that, basically, he hasn’t had one since I went to visit him.

Could this be why Wisconsin had received such an urgent message about me going to see him?

Anyway, life is hectic and chaotic all around and here I am feeling like Nero as I watch it begin to burn. I feel more content these days than I have in some time. I do not know what is happening, or how it will all go….I only know it feels right.

It is Saturday night as I type this out. I wanted to give myself time to work through things in my head.

As of right this moment I am still planning on going into my shift at The Job tomorrow. Still, I can’t fight the feeling that I do not get there. There is like a hole in the time continuum that I just can not seem to close. But, it’s whatever.

I also wanted to have time to read Wisconsin’s most recent post on her blog so that I could share it here.
