That proximity to something that lands as a threat is brutal, so taxing on the nervous system. I'm sorry. I commend you for managing to ask Andy to stroke your back. And I echo Melissa's prayer for their swift ejection from your world.

We aren't allowed to escape. On briefly. We are fractured into many lives. They're like a hologram that's been shattered, each part containing the whole. But in our case each part has a slightly different life and as we die here and wake up in the next life seamlessly deja vu sets in and we recognize repeated events with different outcomes.

Few realize we are moving through different lives. How many of us have died and not know it? We continue on with this hunch something is different but we shrug it off and move on.

Philip K. Dick wrote about this. The worst case scenario was "Man in the High Castle". I experienced this very same life in a dream before I read the book and saw the series. How is that possible?

Science is showing us that the multi universe is real. But in all of it the grass grows, the birds fly, and there is peace in our connection with it. It is mediation and inner peace which all of us have the capacity to achieve. Well some of us. the neighbours?

It's hard, I know. It's been hard for me as the very same neighbours haunt us all, and worse.

I sit in the backyard. I let the sun fall on my chest and I listen to the wind and the birds. I calm down and I begin to think more clearly. Be sure that those neighbours lack this capacity and that is the problem but we have the power and the strength to get past it. We have to or all is lost.

Sorry for the weird rant. But I have experienced many weird things. Or are they? The 2016 election and just couldn't be real. But it was.

You're welcome to express yourself here. That's what I do. And yes. All of this.

I don't know your story, but I do know many like it, and I hate that this has happened to you. I also really appreciate your honesty--and your ability to talk about what at some point you might have the capacity to wish on your present "oppressors" (that's probably not quite the right term but I'm not coming up with another one at the moment), and what you actually are able to wish for right now. (Sounds like some of the Psalms in the Hebrew Bible.) You're doing the work. I hope some light and true comfort arrive soon, in ways you are able to receive.
