42. Saving tons of money by living a minimalist life with only the essential
43. Help us make peace with death and uncertainty
44. Value our life and the things we used to take for granted

I can go on and on and on, it's so interest to see that in a bigger scale the earth is better and thriving without us, and that if we compare the existence of humans in this universe to the billion years old that earth has we are really NOTHING and we can be cleared off the face of earth in the blink of an eye. If I die, it's only my ego because I am eternal, my suffering is really coming from holding onto my identity as a little humans that fights for survival. In practice it is really hard but man, what a beautiful wake up time we are going through, after all this passes we are gonna have a whole new frequency in the world, it's an intense ascension, forced consciousness expansion.

You all, please feel free to add more positive things about the virus.

And yes I'm aware of the suffering and destructing that is happening right now and am feeling it very deeply, but in this post I would like to focus on the work of god and the big picture of what is happening right now.

“No sympathy for the devil; keep that in mind. Buy the ticket, take the ride...and if it occasionally gets a little heavier than what you had in mind, well...maybe chalk it up to forced consciousness expansion: Tune in, freak out, get beaten.”
― Hunter S. Thompson, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

Druggies will always find a way to get their fix, dealers are dressing up as key workers to sell in the town I went to university in. If we are to get some positives out of this hopefully this will be the trans-stage dilemma in spiral dynamics forcing societies and nations to become more conscious and expand their identity

14, 34, 35, 44.

Where the (still not total and complete in habits and day-to-day experiences) the rude awakenings (or personal apocalypses (to explain rude revelation of truth of my current state of existence and how I got here through past action karma accumulationn, and where are my realistic assessment options of heading towards) for me personally and partly for my familial bonds collective ego. 

Thanks for the well-crafted and informative share@MsNobody.   I must confess when reading your well crafted list I felt an ease from your words a little, so thank you also for that feeling ❤️ génération and for setting the time and effort to make this comprehensive personal committed research inffered list and for laying out for me personally and for others I hope, to see the contained evolution potential in the perceived crisis and endangerment of current collective state from a roughly developed country POV.

@Zanoni Beautiful. Thank you for sharing this.

[MsNobody]

@electroBeam thank you for those! Yes nature is very happy right now 

@Milos Uzelac yes everything is happening the way it should have, if it could happen any other way it would have, glad you are also being able to focus on the bright side ☺️

@Zanoni this is so awesome, gave me the chills ?

[DivineSoda]

@Zanoni Yes! Good share.

I'm caught in a delusion. I can only see awakening occurring all around me. Donald Trump is a part of it. The Coronavirus is a part of it. There isn't a single thing happening right now on this planet, in this moment, that is not a part of it. It looks objectively messy and horrifying to most.. I get all the reasons why. But to me, I see nothing but awakening. It's the perfect storm. Just the right amount of pressure to slap us out of our trance, and finally start caring again. We needed it to be like this because it is like this. It's a perfect design beyond our ability to understand or make sense of it. Leo taught me this. 

You can put me down as eternally optimistic. There is nothing to fear, nothing to worry about, and nobody to blame. It just is ❤️
