After you finally recover from bronchitis, start the beginnings of learning some languages, and then lose almost all energy to be able to focus on that, too. Because now you have another health problem and you have to redesign everything you eat and drink to help heal your gallbladder, and you have to also heal these little parts of you that got traumatized and pitched into horrible situations, and after obsessively searching about why some lump in the back of your throat tends to come and go, you wonder if there's an emotional component, but then, dear, please know, that any freaking moment when you're a little bit happy or you're a little bit relaxed or you found a video that made you laugh or was funny, oh my goodness, please for the love of humanity, stop and smell the roses, even if just for that moment, please! Humans deserve to have healed and repaired nervous systems, too. We will all re-heal and repair ourselves. It will happen, either in this lifetime or in the next, or in the future ones.

I cannot believe how tired I am right now. It's pretty amazing, honestly. I did have some moments of somewhat higher energy but I don't even want to leave my place right now now. I might become a praying person again. Sure, why not? Just go ahead and pray. Just pray.
I'm going to have to figure out how to make myself get better at healing, but you know what. Maybe if I struggle, that's a human thing, too.
Ha, yes, another participant in the "Humans living on Earth" experience!

The cocaine addicts really do seem to need a lot of help, too, our dear heavenly lover of humanity, our kind and good brother in heaven, Jesus Christ.
I got the laundry in the machines, and I realized that there's people who think that they're living the American dream right now and they're going to look like a bunch of insecure cocaine addicts who used their materialistic possessions to dehumanize and destroy other people.
When you're not feeling well, having to go outside to do the laundry is just like really daunting. Yes, I do live with a good person but he's on his work shift, and I signed up to do laundry, and I need to do it and it's just like the littlest things become like monumental things to do. It's not fun. It's cold outside. I couldn't do my laundry earlier because everybody else was doing it. I wish I had a washer and dryer inside my apartment. I really do. There's multiple levels of physical and psychological things happening. I also need to heal heartbreak because I'm pretty sure there's something about my not feeling well right now. That's connected to other things about how humans are so awful to one another and they abandon each other sometimes and and it's really something I've got get healed from and not suffer from so much. For example, there's so much bad stuff happening with the people in charge and so many people are just ignoring it and that's really sad. But at the same time I'm starting to understand why it happens because if you think about it so much you get sick and then your body starts to fail you and like you need to take care of your body. The corrupt people in charge are not going to be there forever though, but I just wish humans were smarter and would change faster. But I just wish humans were smarter and would change faster. Okay I got to do what I got to do. Okay I got to do what I got to do. I will do what I got to do. And please dear angels help me do what I got to do.

I am grateful for the insight that I will eat more vegetarian things like simple hummus and vegetables for this time of healing.
Maybe my body is fighting an infection because part of my throat is swollen but not sore and I looked it up and maybe that's on account of swollen lymph nodes.
I feel like crying but I've been keeping a food diary today and yesterday. I'm eating more healthy for a gallbladder. This is like what happened before but nothing ever showed up when I paid lots of money for tests and scans. The way standard society treats people with health issues is just so terribly depressing sometimes and I will just pray for more guidance, and I also have some practices I can use to help myself.
I have asked the universe to make me more sensitive and open to health, wellness, balance, healing, and good, calm feelings that will help rejuvenate a body. Beautiful! Let it be so.
Thank you for the lessons. Even though they really do feel difficult to process sometimes, but things will get better. I know it.
When the world operates in ways that feel mean to your body, you need to just get better at taking care of your body, and know that one day it will be more resilient again.
And also, for your own health, it's best to try to forgive those people who lack understanding, because they honestly know not what they do, really.
Peace and courage. And love. And gratitude.
If you are supposed to stay at home and take care of your body right now because you've got a lot going on, then that's what you're supposed to be doing.
Other people do not live in your body and they do not have your experiences and they do not have your genetics and they are not trained by society to understand what's going on with another.
But it is good to know that you can still find some people who are good at being flexible, and those people will probably be better for you to talk to.
In fact, flexible people are really God's gift to the planet and I wish to be a lot more like those kinds of people in the future.
But for now, I really have to be really focused on taking care of the health of this particular body. But someday I will be able to leave the house (er, apartment) more again.
Big lessons.
Trying to correct imbalance is a very, very big challenge for the one who lives in this body sometimes.
It's like a big job that you don't get even paid for at all. But I know I will feel better in the not too distant future.

She's been "privileged" enough to be rewarded for being small-minded and unkind for an entire lifetime. I can imagine that she may have even been castigated or chastised if she wasn't shallow and awful, sometimes. People who act this way do so because they've been rewarded for it many times in the past. Some people are encouraged to be callous and insensitive more than others.
How do some of the shallowest and most "privileged" ancestors get convinced to act like they got trained by patriarchal white supremacy to kill off their capacity to have empathy for others, and then to try to kill off civil rights for everyone who's even the least bit different from them?
Well, maybe Lady Victoria Hervey can be more classy in her next life?

There's people who know that some other people would have treated them a lot better if they had more money or if they made more excuses for the creaky old sexist and racist patterns that could still help some folks fit in better with the unwell patriarchal white supremacy's cultural values.
"'Migrants and refugees are not pawns on the chessboard of humanity,' Francis said in his 2013 message for the Vatican's World Day of Migrants and Refugees. 'They are children, women, and men who leave or are forced to leave their homes for various reasons, who share a legitimate desire for knowing and having, but above all for being more.'"
"Francis was also the first pope from the Americas. When he came to the United States in 2015, he told a White House audience, "As a son of an immigrant family, I am happy to be a guest in this country, which was largely built by such families."
~ Scott Simon
"Opinion: Pope Francis's sympathy for migrants was personal"
It may also be a tragedy that some of the more privileged children got parents who have role modeled some very shallow materialistic coping mechanisms, with the idea that they need to live in a little white supremacy bubble filled with certain categories of privileges or materialistic things in order to shut out the others, and to allow their brains to gain more access to happy chemicals.
"Opinion: Pope Francis's sympathy for migrants was personal"
Patriarchal white supremacy is so painfully and deeply racist, sexist, selfish and insecure.
Some people act like their houses and their clothes and their cars are their big bottles of Scotch.
Would you dump poison on plant and then tell it to pray for help? There's better things that you could be doing with your privilege.
Patriarchal white supremacy wants people to get addicted to it, and to think that being greedy and selfish and self-absorbed and uncompassionate towards others is what's best for them, and to think that's the best that they can do both for others and for themselves.

Your body doesn't want you to repeat the kind of patterns that others were repeating and that's why you feel tense about them, and even seeing those imbalanced behaviors can be a stressful experience. But now you know. It's not your destiny to repeat the patterns of others.

The world could use the voice of more high-profile, compassionate men who are willing to change and who advocate for a better way of life for humanity.
People from all walks of life deserve to be happy. Rich, poor, middle class etc. Sadly, the middle class is shrinking, and the impoverished class is growing, but anyways. Some people can become very satisfied with materialistic things, but they seem so temporary. Also, some people can be very satisfied with very superficial forms of getting attention from others. I don't know, people's brains are wired differently. We can't all be the same. We can't all be made happy from the same things. That being said, maybe sometimes, when it's accessible, appreciating the little things is really the key to happiness.
If you have the opportunity to learn some things and take a break from an old way of doing things because that wasn't the best for your health, please make the most of it, and even if your time seems solitary, maybe it will turn into something that can create more connections and help more people in the future.

“Trump II was even worse with the Vatican because of how much more aggressive it has been on every level, against migrants, against international aid.”
The Argentine pontiff and the American president sparred early on over immigration. In 2016, Francis, alluding to then-candidate Trump, called anyone who builds a wall to keep out migrants “ not Christian.” Trump called the comment “disgraceful.”
Despite the billionaire former reality star’s divergences over the years with Francis, who was known for a humble style, Trump’s support has gradually risen among American Catholics. He courted them in his last presidential campaign, and many influential bishops are among his supporters."

In contrast, he speculated that many progressive Catholics who do share Pope Francis’ social justice concerns probably did not vote for Trump."

I dreamed I was in a different place where there was an ornate church and there were lots of beautiful views and mostly a combination of Latino people and white people went to this church and a lot of them were probably a lot more conservatively minded than I am, but I wonder if it's a real church and if it exists somewhere. I was mostly on the outside of this church. There were places on the outside where people gathered and I was on the grounds of the church and I saw the outside portion of it more than I saw anything on the inside.
As I'm reading, I realized that I had a weird dream last night and Margaux Fragoso was in it. She lived longer. There were people she was friends with and I was friends with, too. We went to events and made memories. And that was all a dream. Maybe we'll speak again. It seems as if it's something that could happen.
"As an attorney I’m deeply alarmed by an incident that occurred just this week and feel compelled to share it—to raise awareness of the legal and constitutional crossroads we are rapidly approaching.
A co-worker of mine (who is a judge), traveled by train from Montana to North Dakota for work this week. The train made a stop in Havre, MT, where ICE agents—armed and dressed in full military-style tactical gear—boarded the train.
They walked the full length of the train and questioned every single passenger about their citizenship status. According to the conductor, who has worked nearly 40 years on that route, this was a first. In all his decades of service, federal agents have never boarded his train like this.
This is not a hypothetical. This is not a scene from a dystopian film. This happened this week to my colleague, on U.S. soil, to U.S. citizens, legal residents, and foreign tourists here on holiday, without a warrant, without probable cause—based solely on geography."

Why would your wife treat you so much worse if you were reborn into a different body right now? Did she attend one of those churches that train girls to act like anyone who's not a white guy with money is not worth acknowledging? That would be kind of sad for you, then, to be reborn into a different body, in a sexist, racist, white supremacist patriarchal society. On the other hand, what if there were an opportunity for you to grow and expand your consciousness? Does it ever seem like going along with racism and sexism is actually pretty bad for lots of men's and women's children? There's still so much you could do with the rest of this lifetime. Maybe if there are forces in society that want to reward you for being shallow, you should think about challenging them more.
What if I'm a reincarnation of a very privileged white man who's telling other very privileged white men in this lifetime: "Listen, if you need women and men to act like anyone who's not a privileged white man in this society is beneath you, and that other women's and men's children don't deserve equal rights, and that you need to make yourself live in a privilege bubble or a selfish, materialistic enclave which makes you feel comfortable with thinking that being callous, discriminatory and uncaring towards the people who are 'too different from you' is just 'normal,' well, maybe you're not actually doing yourself any favors in the long run, because you're capable of so much better than that in this lifetime?"
"Yet again, in 1887 when almost aged 70, Ruskin falls in love and proposes to a young teenager, Kate Olander. His writing to her again is from the groin rather than the heart. 'I was lying awake last night and planned what you can wear around your neck...it is to be finest and purest chain of Venice..no gold is so pure and they make the links so small it looks like the white of Avanel's girdle..but I'm going to have it seven times round; rather tight for a necklace to show what a perfectly chained and submissive child you are; so mind you send me the measure carefully, just above the shoulders.' This time Kate's letters back to the white bearded Ruskin were kept from him and he was again left with just his art and the Lakeland fells."

We were in younger bodies, being nice to each other and helping each other out, both the boys and the girls were, and we had different skin tones. We were about to go off to school or something, but we were going to meet up afterwards and help each other out again, obviously!
And just at the end of the dream, one of the older boys dressed up as Santa Claus and was going to be delivering presents to people, and it was fun!
The dream was also an acknowledgment that people need help from others at times, and it's good to acknowledge that. There was none of this, "You have to be tough or else you're dead to us" selfish nonsense.
The dream was full of young people who wanted to help, and they received good feelings and experienced true happiness by helping and giving to others. They weren't under resourced or overly stressed. It was just the natural state of things, for them. By helping and giving to others they were helping and giving to themselves.
The dream about the adopted siblings was so much better! The best thing about the dream is that it felt real. There was not one part of the dream where I said, oh, this is obviously a dream. This is obviously fake. No, it really felt like the real thing.
That was really nifty of the universe to send me such a nice dream. It was just a little bit cold and harsh to wake up and realize, oh, it's so different from the reality that you experienced in this life.
Anyways, thanks for sending the nice dreams to us sometimes, universe!
Shallow, greedy, materialistic white women succumbing to sexist, racist, chauvinistic, patriarchal behavioral patterns like puppets being tugged along on strings of stress and trauma are sick.
Don't trust that the white people who got taught to change their names for white men and routinely act like most girls are garbage compared to their cars and houses to know how to help themselves or others, so long as they're still ensconced in those old, dehumanizing, cult-like ways of thinking.
I had a really nice dream about being a part of an adoptive family of siblings who took care of each other and gave each other lots of help and support! It really did seem simple, in the dream. I hope that that's a reality on some part of the planet.

It's in the background of my life though, for some reason, it's there. It's been there for quite a while. That's part of the reason why I need to do a Zen color app so much is to help me deal with knowing that stuff like that affects my life a lot, even now.
I still feel like I need to remember that nature is really important and that it's far more powerful than just people by themselves are.
I feel like there must be a light at the end of the tunnel for a time that is as foggy as this has been getting lately.

Is it going to feel so weird when the generation that's not gotten as ensconced in the "Men and women who were trained to worship and emulate certain selfish greedy Caucasian guys at the expense of everyone else cult" starts running more of the things?
How are the brainwashed patriarchal women and men going to get the energy to fawn over the selfish guys with the most money and treat a lot of girls and women like crap? They really do need to have their basics needs met by some people, somehow.

What's the best way to heal and recover from all the cultural practices and family systems and societal standards that trained a lot of people to treat girls and women like crap? To the point where a lot of women are still convinced that treating girls and women like crap is just "normal behavior," and they just go along with it for themselves so they can "fit in better" with the others who follow those cruel, culty practices and systems and standards.
I had some plans to do stuff today, and the coughing is getting in the way.
I had such a weird dream. It was kind of nice. I met C. when he was younger, and he was much nicer. He wasn't a creepy old cult leader. That was really something!
Myself and another woman were talking to him and he wasn't all weird with the ladies or anything like that. He was just like a normal human being we could talk to. Congratulations! That must have been his higher self.
For much of the dream, there were a lot of banana trees around us. For some reason, that was also a thing.

Bad drugs are like those patriarchal vibes that want people to act greedy and that's why they need to stare at their bank accounts and properties and take vapid vacations and drink with chauvinistic guys at bars and try to convince other people that settling for going along with whatever the sexist people brainwashed them into going along with is the best they can do.

Maybe the universe can help me of the ticklish feelings in the lungs and throat, to observe and then release experiences. Now you see that these people did something that you would have not done? Well, it's time to release that and move on.
It's so bewildering. I just wish that I was getting better more quickly. Prayers. Help us, universe, help us. Maybe something really interesting can happen that will really be great and help us with healing ourselves.
Sometimes having property and a home brings people more peace and harmony, and that's a good thing
Worshipping the ownership of property or a home is like worshipping a bad boyfriend who doesn't treat you well but you settled for that anyways. Patriarchal culture sold you a bill of goods and it wasn't the best bill of goods that you could have in this life.
I'm just letting the universe know that I'm acknowledging my suffering. I wish I was better already. I'm tired of being sick. I want to get better. I like my cat. She's cute.
I want to heal my lungs. I do not want to worship money, property, home ownership the way some people seem to, as if they went to the church that told them to throw away the teachings of Jesus and become very self-absorbed, materialistic people who bully others. This country also deserves much better leadership and the suffering ones are creating excess suffering and they don't need to do that. However, I can only manage my own circumstances right now.
I'm going to take the pain in my neck from coughing and my lungs into a hot steamy shower again.
Really grateful to have encountered some kindness in the universe and really need my body to get better at healing even though some other people have really been letting their unkind, uncomfortable, and uncompassionate flags fly recently. This imbalanced materialistic culture is damaging our health, and I need to learn how to make healing a priority, because I have been sicker than I want to be.
Please heal this body. Still sick. Slow going.
I feel better after that shower.
I'd like to speed along this healing process, please.
I haven't left the house for a week.
I have visited the backyard.

I have the privilege of lying in a bed and not feeling so many prickles and I am using my menthol rub and things are getting so much better and more even keel right now.
Healing can be so much more beneficial than money. Priceless.
Please beautiful pure healing from the universe. Please help. Please beautiful pure healing from the universe. Please help. Please beautiful pure healing from the universe. Please help.Please beautiful pure healing from the universe. Please help. I have gotten so creeped out, I have felt prickles on me because of this suffering I'm experiencing, and I am going to have to bravely choose a much deeper level of healing, and it's hard for some reason, because looking at the suffering is not what some people want to do, but what if looking at it and allowing beautiful pure healing to come in from the universe is what is for the best?
I tried some breathing and wheeze lightly on the right half of my lungs but I don't want to cough because it hurts the back of my head on the left.
I think I'm coughing less. Whenever I cough, the back left side of my head hurts, and it sucks. I can pray for more help with the healing.
I want a more pleasant experience now.

I honestly felt so bad the other day, it was as if I was being wiped out by the symptoms of illness. I wondered if this could just be a rebirth?
I just broke into a terrible coughing fit so, nope, that wasn't the right solution.
Sometimes I think there should be a relaxing white man calendar. "Kick back with the ones who get treated the best." This is a joke! I know it doesn't apply to all white men. I know there are white men who are riddled with PTSD and anxiety and all sorts of things, just like everybody else.
At least they don't have to deal with people accusing them of being a DEI hire though, ha-ha.
O please higher healing energy send me the best healing energy for my tired coughing body needs the best healing energy.

I'm going to ask a higher power again to help me feel a lot more healed, because I can't be sick like this forever. I just can't.
I'm slightly fascinated by how some people could have gotten convinced that doing the stuff I know is unhealthy for my body was good enough for them, and I suppose the access to materialistic comforts has a lot to do with it.
Bullying and discriminating against girls and pampering insecure white men and minimizing violence just to fit in with some other violent people in exchange for access to some temporary materialistic comforts is not a good enough solution for everybody.
