I've had 6 people I know die in the last week

[oxbow]

well actually, there is a degree of separation in most of those cases, the dearly departed being friends of friends or family members of friends. Still, I've never experienced anything like this! Is this all just swirling around me or do you all have similiar stories to tell? The only explanation I can think of is that it might have something to do with the beginning of the Fifth Day...either way, it's clear that some kind of change is going on here.

1. oh oxbow dear, deepest condolences

I've posted this blessing which I didn't write many times before but I'll keep posting it because in this culture that is so bereft of really cathartic grieving rituals, all we can share really share at this time is great love and hope.

And yes many are experiencing purgative shifts and some are opting to leave under these new energies.

Still let's abide with purpose and humanism and great compassion.

I spent the morning with one I love who had a car accident a week and a half ago. His passenger died. His spirit was broken. It was a tragic accident. He is now charged with vehicular homicide and facing tremendous loss and possible incarceration. The punishment sinply does not meet the crime. He doesn't have a mean bone in his body.

He is one of my great loves, and is an incredible human being.

It is devastating how utterly Draconian our legal system is.

I'm praying for him and you and our planet. "Big time."

7. OMG... Something like this has always been a concern of mine. I will send

blessings and warm feelings to you for your friend.

I happen to be a person who still BELIEVES IN ACCIDENTS. I think the world today is so busy trying to blame everyone else for anything bad that happens to them....and it is not always the clear and correct thing to do.

I pray for your friend.

I have had a few dealings with the Law and courts, due to something that happened to my 17 year old son (he is 40 next year). But it clearly made me "scared to death" of dealing with the law ever EVER again.

2. Holiday seasons seem to increase death, not only from natural

causes, but also accidents. My heart goes out to you in your grief.

3. That's really tough; I'm sorry that this is happening, oxbow.

That's a really interesting thought about the Fifth Day. I personally don't have a really good feel about what's going to be happening during the Fifth Day. I wish that there were more information available about it.

5. welcome to our funny and hopeful forum.

6. Thanks all, I'm actually doing fine at the moment

Like I said, there is a degree of separation with most of the people involved. As for the rest, I've lost my fear of death and of not seeing loved ones again since I've done the past life regressions. I guess having to go through it yourself again lets you know that it's not the end, and not anything to be afraid of.

Much love to all of you, and best of luck navigating through these exciting days ahead! :grouphug:
