Playgrounds For The Elderly Boost Activity And Decrease Loneliness

 

i would LOVE to play at a park like this!

******

by 

Someone recently came up with the idea to build playgrounds for the elderly and this is just such a wonderful idea! It’s normal that as you grow older, you grow a lot more sedentary and especially a lot more lonely. For years, playgrounds have been primarily for children and teens to enjoy for daily activity. Now, seniors can enjoy the same benefits of playing on a playground.

Of course, most senior citizens can’t jump around, run, and hang on the monkey bars. However, these senior-specific playgrounds have low-impact equipment that helps them to remain active and improve their balance! They can also enjoy using exercise bikes, cross-trainers, flex runners, sit-up benches and other pieces.

With health problems such as depression, anxiety, and diabetes, loneliness only makes them worse. Elderly people in Asia and Europe already have their own senior-specific playgrounds. Back in 1995, someone built a park in China to help ease things for the elderly, so they have been around there for quite some time already.

Health Impact News

The film VAXXED continues to be shown in new cities across the U.S., with the film crew also traveling to these cities to sponsor Q&A sessions after the filming. Producer Del Bigtree states that the story of the CDC whistleblower and cover-up told in the film is “Bigger than Watergate.”

The film crew also films parents of vaccine damaged or vaccine killed children who turn out to view the film and tell their own stories. Each city they go to reveals incredible stories of families who have suffered from vaccines, and wish they had known more about the risks before agreeing with doctors who seldom, if ever, discuss the side effects and risks.

The film crew was recently in San Antonio, Texas where they met Nico LaHood, the criminal District Attorney for San Antonio. You can watch the interview with Nico and his wife below.

The video starts out with Nico in his office, identifying himself and his position as the criminal District Attorney, and then he makes this statement:

I am here to tell you that vaccines can and do cause autism.

This Is What Overstimulation Feels Like for HSPs

 

editor victoria’s comment ~ we went to a party tonight.  there was a lot of people there – including kids.  even though i knew some of the people, it was a highly stimulating environment – so much so one of the children ended up becoming very upset and melted down.  he is a highly sensitive child and his mom commented on how stimulating the environment was – and most of us agreed saying it was very intense for anybody.  at one point i went to the bathroom to gather myself – take some deep breaths.  at another point i cut up some fruit.  i wonder how natural it is for us to gather in large numbers in a smaller space (even though this house we gathered at tonight is quite large) – especially when not everyone knows one another.  i am grateful there wasn’t music to cause even more stimulation.  that being said – it was good to be out of the house and get in some much needed (for me) socializing.  i’ve always been a very sociable Being – once i find my space and have the right environment.  when we came home i walked inside and took a deep breath.  i know i don’t create enough “me” space.  it is an act of self love to do so……….

I’d had a few stressful weeks. I’d reached the end of a rather challenging degree program — one riddled with dissertation deadlines, long hours and constant pressure, at the same time I was experiencing some big life changes at home. Of course, it would be a strange and overwhelming time of life for anybody. But, as a highly sensitive person (HSP), I knew that a massive amount of downtime would be necessary in order to process everything well.

Now more than ever, I needed to spend time in my sanctuary: my lovely little bedroom with its velvety armchair and its many plants and candles.

Unfortunately, my landlord had other plans.

He had chosen this summer period to have construction work done in the house. The timeline: indefinite. The noise: jaw-clenchingly loud, and right outside my room. Imagine drilling, sawing, and banging, every weekday, from early in the morning to late in the afternoon.

Any sleep or downtime became impossible. The builders spoke loudly, blasted their radio and left an absolute mess in the corridor and bathroom. They made jokes about me being in their way. It felt like they were everywhere, all the time — on the front doorstep, outside my room, outside the bathroom. I had to squeeze past them apologetically every time I needed to go somewhere.

Suddenly, I could barely string a sentence together. Any sort of conversation felt painful — like when you’ve been listening to earbuds too long and you simply need to stop. My stress levels peaked. Little tasks seemed huge. By the time the evening came round, I would be so frustrated, so frazzled, that I wouldn’t know what to do with myself. It was as if my senses had tensed up and recoiled out of self-defense, and they had forgotten how to relax; I was fizzing over with input. And I knew it would all start again the next day.

Finally, I went to a café to seek solace. After I’d ordered my coffee, some energetic funk music started playing on the radio. A baby began to wail. That was the last straw. I wanted to wail too, louder than that baby, and drown out all the sounds of the world.

If you are a highly sensitive person, you may be able to relate this feeling of utter sensory despair. It’s called overstimulation.

Why Do Highly Sensitive People Get Overstimulated Easily?

If you’re wondering why this happens to you, or someone close to you, it’s important to remember that the HSP brain is wired slightly differently than other people’s brains. Highly sensitive people are particularly prone to overstimulation, because they process things more deeply than other people. Research suggests that their brains process everything in their environment on a deep level, essentially taking note of — and thinking about — every little thing.

One result of this is that the HSP will notice a lot of things that the non-HSP might not: the ticking of the clock, the hardly perceptible music, the bright lights, the jiggling knee of the person two tables away. Their senses are constantly alert and on guard. (Another result is that, according to computer models, highly sensitive individuals tend to come out ahead long term — suggesting it may be an evolutionary advantage.)

But all this “noticing” means extra cognitive work for HSPS. This is why they are more prone to feeling “spent” and exhausted at the end of each day.

HSPs have also proven to have higher levels of empathy, which means that they tend to be particularly aware of other people’s feelings (and emotions hit them harder). In fact, they are so in tune with the cues of other people that it’s not uncommon for HSPs to start feeling other people’s feelings.

This constant “absorption” of emotions can be a beautiful thing. HSPs are often emotionally rich, altruistic individuals. However, there is a downside: When they themselves are tired or stressed, taking on people’s feelings can lead to cognitive overload. This is why conversations became difficult for me when the building works were going on. Since my mind was already “full,” the thought of processing and absorbing someone else’s emotions — something I do naturally — filled me with dread.

To avoid overstimulation, HSPs need downtime to process everything: noises, thoughts, feelings. This quiet time gives them the space they need in order to think clearly and sort through everything they picked up on during the day. Too much exterior input and not enough downtime can lead to the HSP panicking, getting muddled, and eventually rushing towards the nearest “exit.”

Which is exactly what I did on my own noisy, overstimulating day.

Desperate for a Way Out

Still in a state of sensory overload, I left the café and walked down the street in an anger-fuelled furor. I grumbled under my breath at anyone who dared make noise around me. I’m ashamed to say I even had a go at the too-loud hand dryer in a public bathroom. It wasn’t rational, but sensory overload seldom is; I was angry that I felt overstimulated, and very upset that I had nowhere to get peace.

(It turns out, I shouldn’t feel so bad about how angry I got. Even in controlled tests, people exposed to overstimulation become alienated, disorderly, and mentally impaired.)

Thankfully, I happened upon an art exhibition. I wandered inside and found absolute silence and beautiful artworks, including some original Quentin Blake illustrations. I walked around, spending time with each piece, feeling for the first time that day that I was being filled with something light and positive. My senses started to slowly uncoil, to soften up, to pulsate. They even dared put out a few receptors, to take in some of the best bits of the outside world.

I realized that there was a place in the world for me, a rather large place, in fact, full of books, art, and serenity. There was another girl wandering around the exhibition. She was alone and had a peaceful energy about her. I immediately felt close to her, understood in my solitude.

We looked at each other, and I found myself smiling briefly.

Of course, this wasn’t the end of my overstimulation. This was the beginning of the end, an easing of symptoms, but my shy senses were ready to snap again if need be. Over the next few days, I worked out a few techniques to recover from the overstimulation, even with the builders in close proximity.

Thankfully for me (and for everyone around me), I discovered that overstimulation is only temporary. With the right techniques, it goes away and barely even leaves a trace. It didn’t take me long to bring my mind back to a place of quiet, where I could finally focus on planning out a life for myself. My new life in the autumn.

6 Ways to Bounce Back from Overstimulation

If you, too, are an HSP dealing with overstimulation, here are a few tried and tested tips to help you recover:

  1. Go to your favorite quiet place: your room, the library, a bookshop, a museum. Cafés are wonderful but can get noisy, so if everything just feels too loud, go to a place where you know silence is respected and valued. (Remember, the nearest quiet space available won’t always be in your home, but libraries and bookshops are almost always a safe bet.)
  2. Listen to your own playlist or favorite song, something that’s familiar and close to you. When overstimulated, any new sensory input can be distressing, but familiar sounds can sometimes soothe. During the construction, I listened to a few of my favorite songs over and over — and the mellower they were, the better. (If you want my personal pick, “Promise” by Ben Howard soothed me the most.)
  3. Get away from your phone. Put it down, Put it on flight mode, leave it downstairs, or go for a long walk without it. It can really help to distance you from any unnecessary stimuli.
  4. Close your eyes. When people are exposed to extreme sensory overload, they have the instinctive urge to close or shield their eyes and cover their ears. By doing this proactively, you can sometimes head off getting to that extreme state. Interestingly, simply closing your eyes can also, sometimes, help deal with too much noise. The brain doesn’t know the difference, per se, and knows only that it has a lot of sensory data to process.
  5. “Feed” yourself with art. Whether it’s literature, paintings, music, street art, whatever — just find something beautiful and take it in. Let it move you. The energy gain is huge.
  6. Ask for quiet. It’s not surprising that HSPs, who never want to be a bother to others, skip this step. It wouldn’t work with the construction crew, of course, but if you’re in a car with a friend who’s jamming music and can’t stop talking, or interrupted by your partner or roommate, sometimes you can simply tell them what you need. “I’ve been having a really stressful time and I’m overstimulated. Do you mind if we do some quiet time?”

Last, don’t underestimate the power of connecting with other HSPs; they get it! If you’re not sure who to turn to, try joining the Highly Sensitive Refuge Facebook Group. Everyone there understands what going through overstimulation is like — and we’re always happy to offer you a (virtual) mug of calming tea.

Vaccine Injuries Ratio: One for Every 39 Vaccines Administered

 

editor victoria’s comment ~ this is one issue i feel people need to be outspoken about.  too often there’s this “let the parents make what they feel is the best choice for their children” and i guarantee you not one of those parents had studied this issue in depth and i’m confident most if not all have never read a vaccine insert.  it is overdue for people – especially parents – to stop being socially correct and speak up and out.  these are children and with each vaccine, the threat of injury – from mild to fatal – is there.  doctors aren’t going to say anything so it is up to each of us.  i will always remember when our daughter was an infant and her pediatrician was pushing the flu vaccine.  when i told her how the vaccine had been banned in Australia for children under 2 due to concerns of coma and death, she said “well yes there are risks” to which i immediately said “and it is up to you as her pediatrician to inform me of those risks”.  she busied herself and dropped the topic.  we found another doctor.

OCTOBER 10, 2019

 

By Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Chairman, Children’s Health Defense

During our September 18 debate, Spectrum TV host Renee Eng asked Kaiser’s, Dr. Robert Riewerts, how many vaccine injuries he had seen during his 30 years as a Pediatrician. His answer: “None, not a single one.”

Slide 1. A 2010 HHS pilot study by the AHCR.

Slide 1 shows a 2010 U.S. Health and Human Services (HHS) pilot study by the Federal Agency for Health Care Research (AHCR) to test the efficiency of a state-of-the-art machine counting (AI) system on data records from the Harvard Pilgrim HMO. Those government researchers found that 2.6% of vaccination resulted in injuries—a ratio one for every 39 vaccines administered. The same study found that typical clinicians see 1.3 vaccine injuries per month.

Source: https://healthit.ahrq.gov/ahrq-funded-projects/electronic-support-public-health-vaccine-adverse-event-reporting-system

 

Slide 2. A table from HHS’s 2016 Neiss-Cades survey published in JAMA

Slide 2 is a table from HHS’s 2016 Neiss-Cades survey published in JAMA reporting an astonishing 19.5% of children under five who are admitted to emergency rooms for drug reactions are suffering vaccine injuries. This finding certainly represents an undercount since pediatric hospitals, which treat most serious injuries, were badly underrepresented in the database, (Only six of 63 hospitals surveyed).

Source: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27893129 

 

How is it then that Dr. Riewerts has given thousands of vaccines and never seen an injury?

Medical schools—largely funded by Pharma, do not teach doctors to recognize vaccine injuries, and indoctrinate pediatricians to believe such injuries don’t exist. CDC tells doctors that vaccine injury is vanishingly rare. Therefore, Pediatricians like Dr. Riewerts whose patients suffer vaccine injury like seizures, epilepsy, allergies, autoimmune and neurological injuries, or SIDS, are likely to dismiss those incidents as “sad coincidences” unrelated to vaccines and never report them to VAERS.

Slide 3. AHCR confirmed these assessments, finding that “fewer than 1% of vaccine injuries were reported.

Indeed,  HHS commissioned the AHCR pilot study in response to criticism that vaccine injuries were horribly underreported. AHCR confirmed these assessments, finding that “fewer than 1% of vaccine injuries were reported.”

Slide 4. CDC terminated the system-wide roll-out and stopped returning phone calls from their sister agency.

Slide 4 shows that CDC officially were so panicked by AHRC’s revelations that they killed the AI system-wide roll-out and stopped returning phone calls from their sister agency. Today, CDC purposefully continues to use a surveillance system designed to under-count vaccine injuries by over 99%!

Executive Order on Modernizing Influenza Vaccines in the United States to Promote National Security and Public Health

 

editor victoria’s comment ~ ok now.  hmmm…..  we know Trump has said he doesn’t take the flu shot – never has and we know he has tweeted over the years about the dangers of certain vaccine approaches.  so my feel on this one – at this moment that is – is new approaches to the flu vaccine (and all vaccines) will be undertaken and real science will show they are 1) harmful and even deadly and 2) NOT NECESSARY.  if this is not the approach being taken here then this is one f’d up EO.  this is just one more example showing my absolute disdain for secretive information and game playing (figure out the “hidden” meaning).  NO MORE HIDING OF ANY THING!  that experience ends.

******

SOURCE.

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including section 301 of title 3, United States Code, it is hereby ordered as follows:

Section 1.  Findings.  (a)  Influenza viruses are constantly changing as they circulate globally in humans and animals.  Relatively minor changes in these viruses cause annual seasonal influenza outbreaks, which result in millions of illnesses, hundreds of thousands of hospitalizations, and tens of thousands of deaths each year in the United States.  Periodically, new influenza A viruses emerge from animals, including birds and pigs, that can spread efficiently and have sustained transmission among humans.  This situation is called an influenza pandemic (pandemic).  Unlike seasonal influenza, a pandemic has the potential to spread rapidly around the globe, infect higher numbers of people, and cause high rates of illness and death in populations that lack prior immunity.  While it is not possible to predict when or how frequently a pandemic may occur, there have been 4 pandemics in the last 100 years.  The most devastating pandemic occurred in 1918-1919 and is estimated to have killed more than 50 million people worldwide, including 675,000 Americans.

(b)  Vaccination is the most effective defense against influenza.  Despite recommendations by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) that nearly every American should receive the influenza vaccine annually, however, seasonal influenza vaccination levels in the United States have currently reached only about 45 percent of CDC goals.

(c)  All influenza vaccines presently in use have been developed for circulating or anticipated influenza viruses. These vaccines must be reformulated for each influenza season as well as in the event of a pandemic.  Additional research is needed to develop influenza vaccines that provide more effective and longer-lasting protection against many or all influenza viruses.

(d)  The current domestic enterprise for manufacturing influenza vaccines has critical shortcomings.  Most influenza vaccines are made in chicken eggs, using a 70-year-old process that requires months-long production timelines, limiting their utility for pandemic control; rely on a potentially vulnerable supply chain of eggs; require the use of vaccine viruses adapted for growth in eggs, which could introduce mutations of the influenza vaccine virus that may render the final product less effective; and are unsuitable for efficient and scalable continuous manufacturing platforms.

(e)  The seasonal influenza vaccine market rewards manufacturers that deliver vaccines in time for the influenza season, without consideration of the speed or scale of these manufacturers’ production processes.  This approach is insufficient to meet the response needs in the event of a pandemic, which can emerge rapidly and with little warning.  Because the market does not sufficiently reward speed, and because a pandemic has the potential to overwhelm or compromise essential government functions, including defense and homeland security, the Government must take action to promote faster and more scalable manufacturing platforms.

Sec. 2.  Policy.  It is the policy of the United States to modernize the domestic influenza vaccine enterprise to be highly responsive, flexible, scalable, and more effective at preventing the spread of influenza viruses.  This is a public health and national security priority, as influenza has the potential to significantly harm the United States and our interests, including through large-scale illness and death, disruption to military operations, and damage to the economy.  This order directs actions to reduce the United States’ reliance on egg-based influenza vaccine production; to expand domestic capacity of alternative methods that allow more agile and rapid responses to emerging influenza viruses; to advance the development of new, broadly protective vaccine candidates that provide more effective and longer lasting immunities; and to support the promotion of increased influenza vaccine immunization across recommended populations.

Sec. 3.  National Influenza Vaccine Task Force.  (a)  There is hereby established a National Influenza Vaccine Task Force (Task Force).  The Task Force shall identify actions to achieve the objectives identified in section 2 of this order and monitor and report on the implementation and results of those actions.  The Task Force shall be co-chaired by the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of Health and Human Services, or their designees.

(b)  In addition to the Co-Chairs, the Task Force shall consist of a senior official from the following executive branch departments, agencies, and offices:

(i)     the Department of Defense (DOD);

(ii)    the Department of Justice;

(iii)   the Department of Agriculture;

(iv)    the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA);

(v)     the Department of Homeland Security;

(vi)    the United States Food and Drug Administration;

(vii)   the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention;

(viii)  the National Institutes of Health (NIH);

(ix)    the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS); and

(x)     the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA).

(c)  The Co-Chairs may jointly invite additional Federal Government representatives, with the consent of the applicable executive department, agency, or office head, to attend meetings of the Task Force or to become members of the Task Force, as appropriate.

(d)  The staffs of the Department of State, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), the National Security Council, the Council of Economic Advisers, the Domestic Policy Council, the National Economic Council, and the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) may attend and participate in any Task Force meetings or discussions.

(e)  The Task Force may consult with State, local, tribal, and territorial government officials and private sector representatives, as appropriate and consistent with applicable law.

(f)  Within 120 days of the date of this order, the Task Force shall submit a report to the President, through the Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs, the Assistant to the President for Domestic Policy, the Director of the Office of Management and Budget, and the Director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy.  The report shall include:

(i)    a 5-year national plan (Plan) to promote the use of more agile and scalable vaccine manufacturing technologies and to accelerate development of vaccines that protect against many or all influenza viruses;

(ii)   recommendations for encouraging non-profit, academic, and private-sector influenza vaccine innovation; and

(iii)  recommendations for increasing influenza vaccination among the populations recommended by the CDC and for improving public understanding of influenza risk and informed influenza vaccine decision-making.

(g)  Not later than June 1 of each of the 5 years following submission of the report described in subsection (f) of this section, the Task Force shall submit an update on implementation of the Plan and, as appropriate, new recommendations for achieving the policy objectives set forth in section 2 of this order.

Sec. 4.  Agency Implementation.  The heads of executive departments and agencies shall also implement the policy objectives defined in section 2 of this order, consistent with existing authorities and appropriations, as follows:

(a)  The Secretary of HHS shall:

(i)    through the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response and BARDA:

(A)  estimate the cost of expanding and diversifying domestic vaccine-manufacturing capacity to use innovative, faster, and more scalable technologies, including cell-based and recombinant vaccine manufacturing, through cost-sharing agreements with the private sector, which shall include an agreed-upon pricing strategy during a pandemic;

(B)  estimate the cost of expanding domestic production capacity of adjuvants in order to combine such adjuvants with both seasonal and pandemic influenza vaccines;

(C)  estimate the cost of expanding domestic fill-and-finish capacity to rapidly fulfill antigen and adjuvant needs for pandemic response;

(D)  estimate the cost of developing, evaluating, and implementing delivery systems to augment limited supplies of needles and syringes and to enable the rapid and large-scale administration of pandemic influenza vaccines;

(E)  evaluate incentives for the development and production of vaccines by private manufacturers and public-private partnerships, including, in emergency situations, the transfer of technology to public-private partnerships — such as the HHS Centers for Innovation and Advanced Development and Manufacturing or other domestic manufacturing facilities — in advance of a pandemic, in order to be able to ensure adequate domestic pandemic manufacturing capacity and capability;

(F)  support, in coordination with the DOD, NIH, and VA, a suite of clinical studies featuring different adjuvants to support development of improved vaccines and further expand vaccine supply by reducing the dose of antigen required; and

(G)  update, in coordination with other relevant public health agencies, the research agenda to dramatically improve the effectiveness, efficiency, and reliability of influenza vaccine production;

(ii)   through the Director of NIH, provide to the Task Force estimated timelines for implementing NIH’s strategic plan and research agenda for developing influenza vaccines that can protect individuals over many years against multiple types of influenza viruses;

(iii)  through the Commissioner of Food and Drugs:

(A)  further implement vaccine production process improvements to reduce the time required for vaccine production (e.g., through the use of novel technologies for vaccine seed virus development and through implementation of improved potency and sterility assays);

(B)  develop, in conjunction with the CDC, proposed alternatives for the timing of vaccine virus selection to account for potentially shorter timeframes associated with non egg based manufacturing and to facilitate vaccines optimally matched to the circulating strains;

(C)  further support the conduct, in collaboration with the DOD, BARDA, and CDC, of applied scientific research regarding developing cell lines and expression systems that markedly increase the yield of cell-based and recombinant influenza vaccine manufacturing processes; and

(D)  assess, in coordination with BARDA and relevant vaccine manufacturers, the use and potential effects of using advanced manufacturing platforms for influenza vaccines;

(iv)   through the Director of the CDC:

(A)  expand vaccine effectiveness studies to more rapidly evaluate the effectiveness of cell based and recombinant influenza vaccines relative to egg-based vaccines;

(B)  explore options to expand the production capacity of cell-based vaccine candidates used by industry;

(C)  develop a plan to expand domestic capacity for whole genome characterization of influenza viruses;

(D)  increase influenza vaccine use through enhanced communication and by removing barriers to vaccination; and

(E)  enhance communication to healthcare providers about the performance of influenza vaccines, in order to assist them in promoting the most effective vaccines for their patient populations; and

(v)    through the Administrator of CMS, examine the current legal, regulatory, and policy framework surrounding payment for influenza vaccines and assess adoption of domestically manufactured vaccines that have positive attributes for pandemic response (such as scalability and speed of manufacturing).

(b)  The Secretary of Defense shall:

(i)    provide OMB with a cost estimate for transitioning DOD’s annual procurement of influenza vaccines to vaccines manufactured both domestically and through faster, more scalable, and innovative technologies;

(ii)   direct, in coordination with the VA, CDC, and other components of HHS, the conduct of epidemiological studies of vaccine effectiveness to improve knowledge of the clinical effect of the currently licensed influenza vaccines;

(iii)  use DOD’s network of clinical research sites to evaluate the effectiveness of licensed influenza vaccines, including methods of boosting their effectiveness;

(iv)   identify opportunities to use DOD’s vaccine research and development enterprise, in collaboration with HHS, to include both early discovery and design of influenza vaccines as well as later-stage evaluation of candidate influenza vaccines;

(v)    investigate, in collaboration with HHS, alternative correlates of immune protection that could facilitate development of next-generation influenza vaccines;

(vi)   direct the conduct of a study to assess the feasibility of using DOD’s advanced manufacturing facility for manufacturing cell-based or recombinant influenza vaccines during a pandemic; and

(vii)  accelerate, in collaboration with HHS, research regarding rapidly scalable prophylactic influenza antibody approaches to complement a universal vaccine initiative and address gaps in current vaccine coverage.

(c)  The Secretary of VA shall provide OMB with a cost estimate for transitioning its annual procurement of influenza vaccines to vaccines manufactured both domestically and with faster, more scalable, and innovative technologies.

Sec. 5.  Termination.  The Task Force shall terminate upon direction from the President or, with the approval of the President, upon direction from the Task Force Co-Chairs.

Sec. 6.  General Provisions.  (a)  Nothing in this order shall be construed to impair or otherwise affect:

(i)   the authority granted by law to an executive department or agency, or the head thereof; or

(ii)  the functions of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget relating to budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals.

(b)  This order shall be implemented consistent with applicable law and subject to the availability of appropriations.

(c)  This order is not intended to, and does not, create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by any party against the United States, its departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any other person.

Michelle Walling (live) ~ The Great Comeback- Phoenix rising

 

(i wish to thank sister D for guiding me in this direction.)

i can really relate to her words – in particular the passion part and the ways in which the matrix attacks those the most who are awake – attempting to “make it” and share our message with the world.  it is time to Unite Together and create a dynamic energy field – our own – be supportive of one another – TRULY being supportive as in interaction, giving what we can, building our own community even at the distance level.

i have had this feeling too that we are in the middle space –  not in the old but not in the new.  the term “purgatory” has been going through my mind lately.  as a “former” catholic i am quite familiar w/the term and it does seem to be a suitable one for where we are now.  not in hell but not in heaven (so still feels like hell at times).  hell being here/underworld – heaven being home (Original Creation).

anyway – i sense a change in her.  more grounded.  softer.  i admire her strength – her courage.  that happens as you pull yourself away from this false reality in which we have resided in.  i just had an image of walking down a hallway – a hallway lined with agent smith’s throwing knives your way – laughing – yelling – accusing and other attacks.  they can look like smith’s or they can look like your family, your partner, etc.  KNOWING these attacks are an illusion – aren’t about YOU – even though they sting and you feel it viscerally in these vessels – they are STILL NOT. ABOUT. YOU.  and the more you stand and face them – say “NO” or whatever words/action you choose – the more empowered at that quiet space you become.  today was a royal bitching circus for me and i stood solid throughout as best as i can – focusing intensely when i was able to not slip into old thought patterns of helplessness.  i know i need to practice not powering over another or using the energy of others to get what i need or to protect myself – and to stop feeding the powerless storyline.  it is tempting – oh today it was tempting – but if i am to walk the talk i KNOW that is ALL old ways of being that 1) isn’t WHO I AM and 2) is NOT what i wish to participate in therefore it is NOT what i will choose to create.  do i want to create more of the same movie script or do i want to create what is REAL and PURE?

although…….when money is a part of the equation and i hear “follow your heart – don’t worry about the money” – i feel i have something practical to add to that piece as i have been following my heart and thinking outside of the box for years – and my passions alone don’t pay the bills – well – not yet.  open to what is new – truly supportive – and oh to feel safe in just being me and having that be enough.  

love,

victoria
