I think it is getting worse before it gets better . . . .
A few days ago my blogger friend Judith said: “Quarantine and self-isolation are words that chill me. I am one of those people who are out and about most days. The thought of being confined to the house scares me.”
Beautiful thoughts about love!
“You have a magnificent vision as a result of what you’ve lived. In fact, you were born to live in that contrast to give birth to that dream, that’s why it’s so big to you.”
–Abraham Hicks
Below are beautiful words from Abraham Hicks:

Forecasts of a global slump in the rest of 2020 are coming in droves from mainstream economists – it’s now the consensus that there will be a contraction in global real GDP in at least two consecutive quarters (Q1 and Q2), in the wake of COVID-19 pandemic and the ‘lock down’ in response.

Bernard Hickey recommends using Social Credit economic policy
by Chris Leach, Social Credit Party
In May last year Treasury suggested the government and the Reserve Bank might have to consider ‘unconventional tools’ like Quantitative Easing and helicopter money, both of which are similar to Social Credit economic ideas.
The Reserve Bank this week announced that it was preparing to undertake QE, and today on National Radio, economic commentator and Newsroom Pro editor Bernard Hickey claimed the government needed to introduce a modified version of helicopter money – using the Reserve Bank to fund a Universal Basic Income, similar to National Superannuation, for all citizens.
Social Credit terms its concept a national dividend – under normal circumstances a payment to every citizen to replace income lost by the advancement of computerised workplaces and artificial intelligence (driverless taxis, robots as carers, automated factories).
Under today’s extreme circumstances it could be used, as…

Apparently, now is the time to get on with all those creative ideas that we’ve had bubbling away on that back burner in our brain. Because, apparently, up ‘til now we’ve been so occupied by sprinting flat out in the human race to get ahead, that there has been no spare time or energy left over for pursuits, such as writing or sketching or nurturing a garden.
Apparently, we are so programmed to achieve, that even in lockdown, or self isolation, we need to still be productive!
Or, what about being nice to others, and reconnecting with family and loved ones. Apparently, we haven’t be doing enough of that while we’ve working, or searching for work, to keep that roof over our heads and food on the table.
Now, if creative pursuits or human relationships aren’t your thing, apparently, according to…

You say: “I am working on my allotment plot and walking in nature…”
This is beautiful! 🙂
How we get through this is up to each of us.. I just want to share a couple of things with you which others have shared with me… My thanks go to Wendy Gillissen a fellow blogger from The Company of Spirits, who shared this Link with me, on The Virus of Fear.. From Jonette Crowley Centre For Creative Consciousness.
I think many of you who are aware know we are much more than we are led to believe we are… So You may find her post on the subject on the collective experience from her channelled source very interesting..
While we are all having to be sensible right now, and while avoiding crowds and people, I am working on my allotment plot and walking in nature… Mother Earth, the Sun when it shines, is our healing, grounding energy. I take deep breaths,… and I am meditating, along with Qi-Gong…

Special to Consortium News
For the past three years the new narrative of Russian interference in U.S. elections has bound corporate news media more tightly than ever to the interests of the national security state. And no outlet has pushed that narrative more aggressively – and with more violence to the relevant facts — than The New York Times.

You wake up in the middle of a nightmare and realise you’re living in one. Suddenly, you’re part of the crisis that’s been playing out on TV and social media for the past few months. Up to that point, you’ve almost been viewing it as little more than a disaster movie. However real the anxiety and concern you experienced, you were still just a member of the audience. Without anyone asking, now you’re a reluctant bit player in a film noir production that’s bound to end badly. One of those anonymous grey extras you’ve been watching on the news bulletins each morning, hurrying across a deserted town square in desperate search of a mask, or the last toilet roll, as a flap of grey pigeons launch into the sky. When did my memory morph into monochrome? You’re wondering if you’ll be in the last reel. You want to be one…

“Eerily quiet” – This is what we see in a lot of places
It might seem a strange time to replace my car, since travel restrictions may soon be in place as Ireland prepares for a potential lockdown, but my car has been in the garage for several months, and I need another seven seater. My mechanic made clear that it’s more expensive to fix my old car than buy a secondhand one. Yesterday I bought the exact same model- a Picassa C4- (though much cleaner!) so I’ll have spare parts.
With that problem solved, we went to lunch. The restaurant we went to had everyone spaced well a part and the room was well ventilated. There was almost a sense of normality. The family next to us had two kids and the parents made friendly small talk with us. No one mentioned the C word.
Knowing it might be our last trip to the city for quite a while, I decided to…

Here is what I answered: I reckon self-isolation can be a good thing if you want to read and write more. I am sad that at present I cannot hug my loved ones. Self-isolation means, they cannot visit me at my home. I am with Peter, my husband, who is suffering from bladder cancer and a heart condition. When we need new supplies, they’ll be left at the door. It is a blessing though that we can still see all our children on the phone! Here in the Illawarra is perfect summer weather right now, and this is very enjoyable indeed. 🙂
