I had an interesting experience today. I was relaxing for a bit after a very 'fun' dentist experience. (Ha ha - Note the sarcasm here 😬). I was scrolling through hundreds of photos on my phone, and I noticed something rather disconcerting...

There is a big difference in the energy of photos I took before 2020 😳. I decided to compare photos from 2017 to 2019. Then I contrasted that with photos taken after 2020. The earlier photos have a vibe of lightness and happiness. The ones taken after 2020 - when we all went through the hell of the so-called pandemic - feel heavier. There is a missing lightness of being, if you know what I mean.

Now this is subtle, and you might not notice it at first glance because we're talking about energy. It's not just the visual. But I felt very sad because I knew that I was seeing the subtle reflection of what we all went through collectively and are still going through.

I think that all of our energy has been imprinted with so much human trauma in the past 4 1/2 years. It's not just the pandemic and the 2 years of lockdowns. Life has never been the same since early 2020. It's been a never-ending flood of war, economic uncertainty, the shock of AI, political upheaval, violence, and the outrageous gaslighting that our 2 biological sexes do not exist.

It's hard to believe what humanity has been through in such an amazingly short period of time!

I think it's important that we recognize this. You can see the signs of this unresolved trauma all around. Prominent people on social media publicly sharing every mental health issue that they are struggling with. The popular trend of spending time alone under a blanket with your cat, while anxiously clutching something warm and comforting to drink. The fact that to a huge percentage of people ChatGPT is considered better company than humans. The epidemic of loneliness is off the charts! So many people are feeling completely lost in this strange world of ours.

The past 4 1/2 years have been an absolute human tragedy, and I think we need to acknowledge this to ourselves so we can begin to heal. But this cannot be an ordinary approach to healing because the shock and awe of chaotic change continues unabated. And we will continue to have more to process and adjust to in the coming days ahead.

So here's what I think we need to do:

1 - We need to first step back from ALL of it in our minds. I think looking at the before and after (like I did with my photos) is extremely helpful because it gives us a sense of what we lost and what we need to reclaim. I definitely recommend that you try this yourself with your own photos. And if you do, let me know what you discover! I'd love to know your experience.

2 - We need to stop listening to the propaganda from ALL sides of the political spectrum. It's just ridiculous how much we are pounded with this every day. Instead, it's time to start listening to LIFE again. I don't know about you, but I am truly tired of being told what to think and what opinions I am supposed to have.

3 - Realize that your life is precious and that you are a creator. We are here to create. We are not here to act as social mouthpieces for the latest trend of outrage.

4 - Get in touch with the physical world around you. Make it beautiful. Don't waste your life in front of a screen. Put the phone away whenever you can - and especially at night! Look at the stars instead.

5 - Reconnect with the actual Universe. Not the common 'universe' of social media with all of its flailing, opinionated voices (many of which are bots and not even human). How much time do you spend in the real world of nature? You don't have to go out in the woods to do this. Just looking out your window at the trees, sunlight, birds, and rain is enough to remind you of what really matters.

I'm sure there are many other things we can do, but this is a good start.

I think things are only going to get more insane as we go forward. So now is the time to collect your human self and your precious consciousness, and protect your spirit from whatever crazy, new influences get thrown at us. Wrap yourself in the arms of what you know to be true in your heart. Give yourself the credibility you so rightly deserve. Be your own best friend ❤️.

I have a very interesting new YouTube video for you this week! It's about the end of the Lightworker archetype. Now it is time to move into the era of empowered creators! I have received so much gratitude for this video. It's amazing how many people felt such relief from what I had to share. So if you missed it, be sure to check this one out. It's only about 15 minutes long 😊.

Let's hope for a few miracles in our larger world, so we can get a break from all the chaos. I think that this could be a necessary breakdown of the old world, so that something new and better can arise. In the meantime, take good care of yourself and those you love.

Enjoy your weekend, and I'll talk to you next time.

Sending you much love,

Saratoga 💖
