Feeling Safe

First of all remember I'm an intuitive which is an interesting way to be in the first place.

So, I'm much more likely to know when I'm safe than most people would and much more likely to know when I'm not safe than most people would.

And the safest I have felt since the whole coronavirus thing began is in a somewhat remote mountain Cabin with my wife where there is no TV but there is Internet since this whole thing began in early 2020.

What is the value of feeling safe?

I think if you can get somewhere where you actually feel safe and it is genuine and it is real maybe that's the best any of us can do.

The stress of feeling fear all the time (like During World war II or the Great Depression) is very harmful and wearing on people and ages them both internally and externally.

When I was young I had no idea why people were so messed up in the 1950s simply because I wasn't born yet when World War II and the Great Depression happened. But, both my parents graduated from High School during the Great depression with my father graduating as Valedictorian of his class in 1934 and I believe my mother graduated in 1936. So, both my parents were hit in the face with both the Great Depression and World War II and my father lost his brother in a plane crash during World War II also. So, they both had many many scars internally from all this but they both lived through all this with remarkable grace and stoicism.

So, they taught me how to survive ANYTHING in my life too and the attitude you have to take to survive anything awful you must endure including one day to endure both of them dying and still to be able to take care of my own family after they both were gone.

And this is no easy task by the way for anyone.

Feeling safe and actually being safe are two very very different things. So, one must be most of all realistic about what one is doing, thinking, feeling and saying.

The single most important quality to survive these times is likely pragmatism. In other words you have to do "WHATEVER IT TAKES" to survive these times and to care for your family no matter what anyone else does around you.

By God's Grace
