Crisis!

[Desert Woman]

It seems so many of us are experiencing tremendous crisis and it got me thinking... why?

i have noticed, personally, that when i go through significant emotional crisis, that i am changed in the process and now have become someone strong and smart enough to overcome whatever it was and have a new confidence that comes along with it.

the more dramatic the crisis, the more dramatic change in my personality.
I guess it's a question of how we handle adversity.

This happen to anyone else?

The last 5 years of my life has been one big crisis, sometimes it changes me for the better and sometimes like now it changes me for the worse.....I think it's more with whether I created the crisis or had no control over it that determines my changes. i.e. drinking, stopped it and it was something I caused and could control. Financial BS right now, I have no control over and it makes me nasty mad and uncaring.

crisis changes us in good and bad ways. some of the changes can be temporary and sometimes when the crisis is chronic, so can be the changes until they become habit, and you become a different person, this can at times be bad.

or you can face the adversities of life, and change them. that is a lil harder but seemingly more rewarding.

It depends on the crisis. Whenever something happens I do my best to keep my head, but striking back can ease the pain sometimes. But at what cost to you. Just remember the law of three, it will keep you centered. "An it harm none, do as thou wilt." I know it's easy to say that when you are not the one being screwed over. I have sent some positive energy your way, get yourself grounded and do a ritual. You have the power make things go your way, if ya really want it! Your plants will love you for it too.

Blessed Be

I have been slacking a bit on the ritualing. But when I do get myself centered, grounded and in tune... things come together. I often make a list of current issues and promise myself that I will address them later one at a time. That way my mind is clear and I can concentrate on getting my "I" (spiritual self) together. "ME" the (physical self) is so demanding that "I" gets overwelmed with the needs of "ME".

Confused yet? I hope it makes sense.

and im very confused at this point
not about who i am
but what the universe is asking of me right now
i usually can read it very clearly
like the direction of the wind when your eyes are closed
and right now
the wind (messages) are all swirling around very fast

i suspect that what needs to happen is that i allow myself to recieve at the higher frequency and get comfortable with the "flow", i will be clearer regarding where i stand. but like i said, "who i am?" is not the problem, so it's just a matter of waiting it out at this point. it's similar too, roots growing and connecting to a water source, takes some time.. i'll get there.

now the question is. do i make any sense?

plan or prepare ritual anymore. they are spontaniously frequent enuff. lol

[Eddie McPot]

Exactly! And yes I understand what you mean.

[Desert Woman]

regarding my emotional experience with crisis of these two robberies this year, plus... is how they have changed me.

before when the adrenalin would hit from the fight or flight, i would always, always, always DUCK and run for cover. I would become so frozen by it that i just couldn't... anything

and now, when the fight or flight kicks in I have already finished my swing, kick and punch..

and now, my job is to tame that beast so that i can use it for the benefit of my self and my family, and not to the detriment

the thing is. you never get to throw it away. once it becomes a part of you. you have to find it, it's proper place in your life... huh

the most common crisis i have in this world today is people.

i was raised by 2 parents, a mom and a dad..lol and i was raised in the manner my father and his father before him was raised. we went to church regularly. my dad worked hard in a mill, we came from a long line of farmers, my graddaddy farmed, and all his people before him farmed. my mother stayed home and raised us kids.

we grew our own food, working hard in the fields to plant, raise, and then harvest and can our veggies and fruits. we fished the bays with nets, for fish. for food, not fun. though it was fun for a child. my father was not a hunter but traded fish and shrimp for wild game. and we had neighbors that raised animals for meat whom we would trade with also. and of course we bought some groceries from the store.

but we were raised to work for what we got, and to be honest, and proud of who we were, we were fargin poor as dirt, but we didn't know it. and didn't care. we had what we needed supplied by our own hands and blessings drom God above.

and we were taught respect. respect for adults, old people, teachers,clergy,police,fire, the principal, respect for one another. stealing just didn't happen. lying was not thought of, and if you got caught in some shit, you just manned up and took your whooping and moved on.

my friends i had then, i still have many of today. boys then, but men now that i would die for without a moment's hesitation. and they the same for me. if one of us tells the other something it is taken as gospel. you just know that their word is bond, done finished. nothing offered that can't be made good on, no false promises. dependable honest people.

i went through a rebellious time as do a lot of teens and young adults. but i turned out fine. got a good job, and a home, and am well respected in the community as are my children, who are grown and raising their own families.

i am lost in this world. i feel like a stranger. no one honors his word anymore. no one cares if God is alive or dead, and few people care about anyone but themselves anymore. their is no honor, no respect, no self respect, no willingness to work hard for a better day. kids going insane, yelling at and hitting and even killing parents...WTF ? it seems the whole worls has gone mad.

every leader we have in this country is full of shit. and the people in the large corporations are a bunch of whores. all greedy liars, like a bunch of starving rats tossed into a cage. no one can be trusted at all in the leadership of this nation. they are either stealing, screwing around on their wives, doing drugs, or taking bribes, or all of the above.

it is sad to watch.

nuff rant:giveup:

me too.

your childhood and your family and your community sounds like a fairy tale to me. Two alcholoic parents, tremendous violence trauma and abuse throughout my childhood and young adulthood and I came up with the same values as you did. and i, like you, am lost in this world, for certain...

i work with the general public, and the attitude that most have towards work....i would fire all their asses. no one seems to have any pride in doing a good job. WTF is wrong with people. you take a job, and you do that job to your best and then some, and usually people notice, and you get a better job, or a raise even....but hell no. go to work and hide from work, and bitch about their position.

and the kids i encounter these days would have been drug to the back of a field and shot where i come from. not all kids mind you. and definitely not YOUR kids...lol but seriously. kids have no manners, no respect, and no purpose or direction. and all want a golden parachute job...lol gonna be a lot of dissapointment in this world for them now. many refuse to learn a trade, or go to school with the oppurtunity given to them, and wonder why they work at burger king.

i worked in the public school system for decades. the attitude those adults had toward those children was discusting. and their pettiness and work ethic makes me sick to my stomach. i saved as many young minds as i could from their ignorance, and lack of faith.

i refuse to give my children or anyone else anything, anymore unless they "really" earn it. i got so sick and tired of everyone taking taking taking taking whining for more taking

I decided, no matter who you are, if you can't earn it, then you don't deserve it.

thanks for giving me someone to talk to
i am venting clearly
but its very healthy venting, right?
