Friday November 2
As the days progress, people crippled by the storm feel helpless and often hopeless. These are the times people band together setting aside political, economic, and social issues, for in the long run they will signify nothing. We are just souls having a physical experience that is about to evolve back to light in the chaos of our creation.
Below me, the sounds of emergency vehicles continues. This week I read clients in 5 foreign countries - all of who tapped into the energies of the storm via our phone conversations and the external sounds of reality shifting into its final phase.
For thousands still stranded in the aftermath of the storm, the need to get to safe areas is challenged by diminishing supplies of gasoline, some lines miles long as drivers wait hours for what could be their last hope. Those who finally get gas have headed west staying wherever they find a safe haven until power is restored and things start to move forward. Each day, I hear wild stories about destruction and rescue attempts. Who would believe this is Manhattan and New Jersey in 2012? The part of the human brain that says, "It will all get better and be okay", is faced by yet another reality check and thoughts of survival. Many areas look and feel like an apocalyptic film, reminding one again of end times disasters as wake-up messages. I knew Scorpio would hit hard, but this is amazing with more to come in Mercury Retrograde.
Another issue that has divided New Yorkers is Sunday's New York Marathon - should it be run or not? For those who say yes citing that the race boosts morale - stand opposed to others who say we have far more pressing issues - which I agree. You have to wonder if the international runners, who came here each year, have even made it to the city. This is Mercury Retrograde - repetition and delays.
