TL;DR suffering and change, and astral mishaps

There’s been a bit of turmoil in my household lately. This weekend, we are supposed to drive over the mountains to visit my sister and her bf for a couple of days, since they aren’t coming up for Christmas. Well... Monday I was feeling kind of ill, and Tuesday I found out that my bff’s father was running a fever and having flu symptoms. It could just be the flu, or it could be The Other Thing.

This led to a couple of days of panic from my family. Suddenly, our weekend plans were on hold, and potentially our Christmas plans as well. Everyone was getting worked up and emotional, and I while I was picking up a little bit of their emotions, I just kind of sat through it all, watching.

There is so much suffering caused by change. More specifically, we are averse to change - we hate it - and have attachments to the familiar. Aversion to discomfort and inconvenience, attachment to comfort. How much of our stress and worry is related to change in something in our lives? Change of job, change of career, change of relationships; everything is change.

But the reality of it is... Change is the nature of the Universe; everything changes. Trying to fight against it is pointless - trying to control things is pointless. Life is a stream, and it is better to float along with it, rather than trying to swim against the current; you’ll tire yourself out, and still end up going down the stream.

Anyways... I ended up testing negative for Covid (got my results incredibly fast) and things should be okay. But it was an interesting experience, for sure.

In other news... I visited the astral today, and as I was leaving, I felt myself getting tugged back into the astral. I decided to go with it. I found myself in this like little cavern. There was a pedestal with a book on it, and light was shining from the ceiling onto this book. There was some figure reading the book; they noticed me, and then stepped back and gestured me towards it. Cautiously, I moved forward to inspect the book.

As I began to look at it, I felt a sharp pain as I was stabbed in the back, and I immediately flew back and pinned the figure to the wall. They tried to stab me again, but I didn’t let them. I held them to the wall, stunned, and banished them, saying “Leave this place now, and never return.” They disappeared.

I took a moment to catch my breath. That was unexpected. I was about to leave, but I decided that I wanted to take another peek at the book; my curiosity was piqued. This proved to be a mistake.

You know anglerfish? And how they have a bioluminescent light that’s attached to their head, to attract unsuspecting fish before completely swallowing them? Yeahppp well. I looked at the book for a couple of moments. I couldn’t discern anything from it, and then suddenly the book and the room transformed, and suddenly I was trying to be swallowed by some gigantic creature.

I kind of armored up - BUT I didn’t put on my enchanted charms before going to the astral, so they were lacking power and energy. I tried to fight it for a bit, but quickly realized that this was going to be a losing battle. They were tough, and I didn’t have my full armor... I panicked for a moment, but formed a game plan. I ended up like... freezing them in this giant stasis-web, and then doing a big banishment, before fuckin running for my life.

Soo I haven’t heard from my spirit guides in a while. I have three that I work with currently; but they’ve gone silent. I call out to them, but it’s just radio silence on the other end. I haven’t been bothered by it, really. Sometimes spirits need their space, and sometimes your guides will do it to let you experience some stuff on your own, to grow.

Well, I saw one of my guides today, after the fight. I stumbled back into my astral keep, kind of a mess. Gentle Giant appeared, and started tending to my wounds. He extracted some nasty parasitic gunk - and then pulled out this fucking superrr longgg parasite, and got rid of it. Then he healed and sewed me up. The healing session took quite a while. Then he chastised me for not wearing my charms lol

I think that the big nasties were attracted to me because of all the negative energy and stress that has been around me recently. That, plus the fact that I am a big source of energy - probably made me a beacon, a bright light attracting moths.

Anyways. Moral of the story is make sure that you have all of your protections, and to be careful. That reminds me - I have a new bracelet that I need to enchant.

Anyways, that’s it for now. I hope that everyone has a wonderful night!

Blessings!

CBS Article

December 17, 2020. Chicago

Anjanette Young won part of her lawsuit against CPD to obtain bodycam footage of a wrongful and violent raid against her. Mayor Lightfoot’s lawyers attempted to stop CBS from airing the footage through an emergency motion in federal court. Lightfoot then lied about the lawsuit and her knowledge of any actions at a press conference the day after the footage was published.

Lori Lightfoot is the first Black lesbian mayor of Chicago and any major U.S. city. She’s the success of the neoliberal project of “representation” to have a different face for the same violent institutions carrying out the same violent actions. She and the conservative Democrat goons running the city’s agencies have yet to commit to the 75% defunding demand from BLM Chicago.

City of Chicago spent more than half a billion dollars for police misconduct over the past decade

In 2013, Chicago spent triple the amount on police misconduct lawsuits as it had projected

This past summer, with the Black Lives Matter uprising, police abused their position so much a special unit was created to investigate complaints against them.
