Cosmic Rehash (Dec. 2019)

#CosmicRehash Stage 5 goes into overdrive this week

YOU’RE AWARE OF THE FIVE (5) STAGES OF GRIEF, BUT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THE 5 STAGES OF CONFLICT?
FIVE STAGES OF CONFLICT:
1. LATENT STAGE: Despite all warnings that things aren’t good as they stand, you remain clueless and apathetic that shit’s about to go down, and even so, you have a pretty good private plan, plenty of camera surveillance out front, and house surrounded with those 6-foot fences, right?
2. PERCEIVED STAGE: Ok, it looks like this might affect you…
3. FELT STAGE: Stress, worry, panic and anxiety
4. MANIFEST: January 2020 – ????
5. AFTERMATH: It’s complicated…

**Fortunately, unlike Grief, Conflict can be avoided through pure awareness of one’s attachment to ‘stuff’.

Yes, it gets even more complicated. I remember writing this grim little piece as I was preparing my 2020 forecast, which I eventually did NOT publish because, as much as I stand by my predictions, I thought it was too gloomy and macabre.

I released a short excerpt of it somewhere, but it served no real purpose, as pretty much everything I post on social media has. People read and forget, and this is all fine.

Of course, we will see our way through this, and there are already many souls with whom I am connected who are managing to stay buoyant and light through this. But geez, have we done some work together.

Every day becomes a struggle to adapt now, especially psychologically. For some, it’s sad to come to grips with the crushing reality that dawns each day. Many are still in denial, or oblivious to what is happening, or are living in hope that in a few weeks all this will pass and we can return back to how things were.

My advice to the wise is we start cleaning up our act. Lose the load. The heavier your baggage, the greater the conflict. Prepare to lose everything, you will be asked to pass ‘naked’ through this. To spare the humiliation, be comfortable and proud of what you are, warts and all…
