Where is it all going?

[GeauxHomeLittleD]

Last night I had a long talk with my mother, something we do at least once or twice per week. Mom isn't very much older than I, having gotten married and given birth to me whilst still in high school as many did in those times. If you spoke to her or even met her in person you would never guess her age as she is one of those rare people who seem to be timeless, riding the waves of decades effortlessly and changing with the tides.

We speak of many things during our conversations just as we always have. There is no such thing as a "taboo" subject and often things become quite interesting, but last night she said something to me that still gives me chills this morning:

"I do not know this world any more." 

The tone of her voice is what shook me- I have never heard her utter anything more seriously in my life. Now mind you, my mother has never been particularly religious. I could probably count on one hand the amount of times I have ever seen her enter a church. She has never been a fan of "doom porn" or subscribed to any sort of apocalypse- Biblical or otherwise...until now.

So we started talking about the signs of the Apocalypse. They are definitely there for those with eyes to see and even for some who never previously took such possibilities seriously. It is ironic because many years ago I had delved into Biblical prophecy with great passion, a trip down the "rabbit hole" that occupied around three years of my time, and my mother found it quite humorous. Now she finds very little, if any, humor in my former pastime.  

As we spoke she frequently made that nervous little laugh that denotes her fear, something she has only previously done when a loved one is dying or a strong hurricane is barreling straight toward her door. It was very unnerving.

None of us know for sure exactly what the future holds. Our elders are becoming frightened by all that is changing so quickly in this world. Please check on your elders and let them know that no matter what comes down the pike that you are here for them. It only takes a few moments of your day to make a phone call that may mean very little to you but means everything to them. 

As long as we have love and kindness for each other hope is still alive.

Geaux,

Your Mom is not alone.  That is why my signature informs that my location is Elsewhen.  I'm not comfortable in the here and now either, anymore.

Like we used to say in old non-PC Army, this world has become so f*-up that not even its own mother would recognize it.

I'm not sure it is The Return we're looking at, but we're for damned sure on the cusp of something that will be remembered for a long time.

Cheers

A lot of people said that at the start of WW2, indeed when I was young very young I remember some old people saying the same. People want to live in the past they remember as its a safe place because they know what has happened. Living today and wondering what will happen tomorrow is hard and frighting. People have lived through a hell of a lot worse that what is happening now, just that we have not so it seems so bad.
Like the old saying says.
A few years ago I was watching an army parade, as the young men and women marched past a deep feeling of sadness filled me, the guns were different, the camo was different but the faces were the same.
Everything changes and stays the same

If you want to look at biblical possibilities, then consider that the Bible says God wins in the end.

I know at least two prophets (current day) who have never been wrong, and they both have said that President Trump will win this race. Not without a lot of turmoil though. The left will cry voter fraud and keep the election tied up in court, while Antifa and BLM continue their riots and violence against everyday citizens.
I don't know how long it will take to come out of that, but I'm sure after the decision is made in court, there will be a "sweeping up" of the anarchists on the streets and our lives can return to feeling safe again.
There will be new technologies we only dreamed about coming out in the years to follow, and new drugs/techniques will become available to heal diseases that have been hidden from us. Our universities will return to teaching pride for our country, and equality among ALL will bring people back together. This will, of course, take some time, but it will happen.

So, there. Tell your mom to hang on. Right now we are going through a battle of good vs. evil (Biblical). In the end, good wins.
We just have to remain strong as we go through the battle to reach the end.

I am an old lady, but I am blessed to still have my mother with me. She too is an awesome woman that shocks people when they find out how old she is, but recently I have noticed she is starting to fade a bit.

My mother was a good devout Catholic girl for years. She changed to a Bible teaching church six years ago and studies the Bible daily. She is my rock. She makes more sense to me, than any Pastor or Preist I have ever spoken with. 

When things look dark she reminds me the realities in life are much bigger inside our minds than they truly are, and that the size of a shadow depends on how you focus the light.

She is not burying her head in the sand. She has just decided she will live the life she is living, and will deal with the trials and tribulations that come her way, the best way she can. 

She doesn't allow what the media shows to distort what she sees in front of her face. She will listen intently on what you have to say, and feels no need to agree or disagree. She keeps me grounded. 

I consider you blessed that you still have your mother with you, as I consider myself blessed.

I would tend to only agree to a certain extent with that. My step-dad (in his 90s) is one of the handful of remaining WW2 veterans. He still suffers with PTSD and wakes up screaming and in a cold sweat regularly even all of these years later. Even he is afraid of what is happening in the USA now. He says he has never seen this country so close to a civil war and he's extremely glad that he and Mom live out in the country and not in the city.

It is still your world and it's still your Mom's world. Walk outside, smell the sweet air, smile at a neighbor and watch the babies play in their yards. Look up at the blue sky or in the evening, stare up at the stars.

What has changed is our media. News is no longer something we watch before dinner for a half an hour and then consider what we've seen and then move on with our lives. It's a 24/7 bachannal of death, dismemberment, indifference to suffering and a conga line of nefarious characters that want to steal your soul and take your stuff.


The new carpetbaggers understand what motivates and drives you and it's fear. People only make decisions based on two criteria. Those are to gain a benefit or to avoid a loss. This is universal truth so if I want you to do something, I will need to appeal to your primordial lizard brain on one of those two very prescient points.
A very good way to do that is to create bogeymen or strawman that can steal all you hold dear.

If I can convince you they are at your doorstep and I hold the answer that will either keep them at bay or eradicate them if you will only follow me into the fray, then we can once again live in a Shangrila that in all acuality, never really existed.


The human memory is short. Because of this we're vulnerable to this kind of venal and visceral rhetoric when in reality, none of what's been manifested is real. Most of this is a fever dream that the internet feeds with it's confirmation bias. You will find what you search for.


If what you seek is negative and hateful, you will find it. if on the other hand you search out nurturing love and fill yourself with gratitude for what you have and others that share that experience, you'll find that as well.

The world is the same as it ever was. What has changed is the exploiters have a world wide forum and we have a way to tap in to their fear filled paranoia..

Unfortunately, a crowd will gather to watch a trainwteck or a house burn. It doesn't mean that this is playing out everywhere and it's up to us to make sure we don't slip into a world where all we see is that house or the trainwreck.


Freedom still exists and the internet is not our overlord. We are all loving and sentient beings. If we choose to strengthen that side of our psyche, it will prevail, if not, we can slip into madness.

But the reality is, the world hasn't changed. Our perceptions though, are constantly assaulted if we allow them to be.


If you want your old world back, take it back. It's at your doorstep.

Be sure to come back and repeat all of that after they announce the Breonna Taylor decision here this coming week. We can hold hands, sing Kumbaya and roast marshmallows while we watch my city burn. It will be magical!

I get where these people are coming from , as i have said before other places it feels a lot like it is 1939 is back and things are not going to turn out well for humanity , i am glad i do not live in America with the strife going on there

If you live in Europe when it kicks off it will make the US look like toy play. We have a long history of starting world wars

And idiots like me are normally in the front line to be cannon fodder but i think the big plan with the elite is to distract us to take the jag then it will be the slow kill

I feel we are at a breaking point financially worldwide. The worlds total debt is 253 trillion............that is trillion with a T. Least that is what I found when I Googled it. This is why the aliens don't visit us, they are afraid we may ask to borrow some funds.
