Uncomfortable Shift in Consciousness?

[longusername12345]

I've been feeling... weird lately. And apparantly so have others. Maybe it's a global shift in consciousness? Maybe it's a personal shift? Maybe just fucking hormones? 

I've attached a few screenshots of a conversation I had with a friend about these feelings. And then someone else when shown these screenshots said: 

"Thats exactly how I feel I can never express it because its hard idk why but yeah. Its just a lot of exhaustion and no motivation to do anything and a lot of people try and push down what I'm going through as something not important because they feel what their going through is worse so I just try and say simple words so it doesn't seem like I'm trying to ask for pity.

All im really trying to do right now is distract myself and ignore it but its hard because when I do all of what I'm feeling seems to come out in anger or even more sadness because I don't wanna acknowledge it."

What is this phenomenon we're describing? Is there any explanation?

There is without a doubt a global shift in consciousness taking place right now. The virus, the isolation, the social distancing, the weather events, the constant bad news, and for those doing spiritual work, the work inadvertently opens the heart up to this reality of increased suffering, confusion, and turmoil. The external world is creating a myriad of conditions which are forcing the collective to look in the mirror, and the reflection aint pretty. The growing pains are intense both on an individual level, but also a collective. This point in time is an inflection point for humanity. Don't underestimate the interconnectivity of the species on a very metaphysical, psycho-spiritual level; nor should we underestimate how this collective interconnectivity impacts the individual. 

Over this pandemic I keep returning to a passage from the Tao Te Ching. Here's an excerpt:

'Cultivate Virtue within yourself, and it will become a true part of you.

If you cultivate this in a family, it will endure.

If you cultivate this in a community, it will live and grow.

If you cultivate this in a state, it will flourish abundantly.

If you cultivate this in the world, it will become universal.

For this reason, a person should be judged as a person, a family as a family, a community as a community, and a state as a state.

How can I know about the world? 

By what is found within me."

I guess for me, the only way I've been able to cope with this shift is to keep going. Keep going and going and going. 

Much love dude. Also Clancy ftw

There's no Global shift in Consciousness that's happening.

These are tough times period.

It is what it is and that's all that's happening ❤

Your level of consciousness will go up and down, like a stock market graph, lol. 

Just be patient, and don't start believing that how you feel is out of your control.
