Good am. It's been 12 hours since a valid topic/response came up in the community. The post garnered a few reactionary posts. (all removed) There were no inflammatory posts, honestly, Nothing bad, actually quite apologetic, but I see this as an opportunity to teach and reflect. This will be a long one. I am turning comments off on this post bc it's more of a reflective one than an interactive one. There are specific topics that sow division in our global community and it would be remiss of me to think those biases don't carry to our little niche. I LOVE our community and the last thing I want to do is offend any member intentionally. (unless I am reading for someone & they disrespect their loved ones coming through. Then all bets are off :) We are an inclusive community, (with protective rules in place that have been long discussed.) A community where we support each other and share. FB and the other social media platforms can be where people complain, or energy dump - but here you guys LIFT each other up, create a positive mindset when you're down, dark, or disabled. As most of you know, my background helms from healthcare. My belief in science is a passion and my studies ongoing. (especially with a first year med student in the house.) I spend quality time DAILY researching what is an ongoing pandemic. Yes, I said PANDEMIC, not endemic. Covid is not seasonal. Covid is not a flu. That is a mislabeling. How a person chooses to handle their interaction with it-- is as personal as their handling of their own personal grief. I had to reflect for the last 12 hours and decide how I wanted to address a quick exchange between folks here on EvolvePlus regarding Covid. A number of our community members & their family have had it, or are fighting it. It is my belief we need to support them in their energetic needs during this time. The comments I read were apologetic for stating fact, & that shifts the energy in a way that I am not comfortable. Again, I will state, Covid is NOT a flu... and it has long reaching health effects even in the most asymptomatic cases. If you just sighed, or thought NO!!!! THIS is my SAFE PLACE... IT IS... don't worry. I want us to show respect, support, and lift each other navigating any issues, respectfully. MY goal in writing this is to let everyone know I SEE YOU. IF you need to take a pause, leave, or if you're nodding YES, I see where ya coming from JE 😉 then AWESOME. Writing this, who knows, I may reach others to take more precautions and protect themselves and their families health as well and THAT is a calculated risk I will take everyday. (just like I warn about energetic protection all the time) If you watch/read my stuff, you know I have been outspoken and direct FROM the onset of the pandemic about the severity of COVID. I am so happy that these subsequent variants are less lethal, but you know the longer lasting effects are where my psychic concerns lie. I even named it COVINGLES in a newsletter to draw a parallel between folks having the chicken pox virus and later developing SHINGLES. I say it for people to mitigate their risks. Now, for all the people who are in the medical community who have adopted non masking policies, perpetuate the "its mild, etc. narrative" - clearly I don't agree. I teach psychic self defense against invisible ENERGY that exists in our everyday lives and I think a great real world example is COVID- it teaches us that things we cannot see can affect our energy or physical body. Besides my healthcare bias, researching wastewater levels, looking at stats from around the world daily, (science and data geek here) I am also coming up on a friend's bday who died from it unnecessarily bc he was convinced it was just a flu. He is one of many I know that lost their lives to this JUST bc they wouldn't mitigate their risk. I want the people who have been touched by it to be seen and felt here. ESPECIALLY, if you are fighting it. Even if you didn't post about it - we support you in your good health. For all the immune-compromised ppl who feel like the world doesn't care - I want you to know this community will. Keeping ourselves evolving means that we have to always allow new perspectives. To be frank, if it wasn't for a Nurse on tiktok reaching out to me, I wouldn't have started doing events again. I had to blend my fear of knowing what this is, and use the tools to mitigate risk. I do that daily. It's not easy. I know. I travel with air purifiers and a lab grade pcr testing machine as I won't put others in jeopardy if I was contract it. For those on here that are navigating it - we are here for you and support you. For those that can't be here bc it's triggering, I SUPPORT YOU just as much wherever you need to be. I absolutely love this community & the support you give each other and I look forward to our continued growth and evolution together for years to come. The gif is katrina reading this...
