Newsflash

[PinkTiger]

Just kidding, but I got a strong impression a bit ago. I'm surprised, too.
There's depression to go around. Bush - our illustrious president - is profoundly depressed right now. He has been isolated and shunned by so many people, and so many of his former cohorts have left the white house, that he is despondent. He is also drinking very heavily, AND taking medication, and he is a mess.
I'm not kidding when I say I fear for his life.
I fear he will take it in his own hands to die.
And I find no solace in this.
He is a little man who took on a big job, and made a poor attempt, and now he has been abandoned.

In other news, the man who killed his children and himself in Georgia (23-month old twin daughters and a three-year-old son) is calling at the gates of Hell, while his children wander around the Georgia woods in spirit, looking for mother. The man is in limbo. His spirit will sleep for eons. The children need help to see the light. Please send them light.

I'm signing off now. Oh, wait. Obama is a bit depressed at the moment.
Send him.... oh, whatever. Send him money or send him good wishes. He is a bit off his feed.

Now I'm gone. LOL.

1. Amazing you'd say this

This morning, I watched a news conference given from the Rose garden by George Bush. Whenever he talks these days, I never listen to his actual words anymore because they're all lies; I pay more attention to his mannerism. This morning, when I expected to see his usual arrogance, I was shocked to see he looked like he was scared to death about something. I couldn't agree with you more. He's a mess in every sense of the word.

Obama is totally connected these days. His speech yesterday proved he's not doing this on his own. All the light for these candidates and their safety is critical to our future manifestation of peace.

[Grateful for Hope]

3. I have seen fear in Bush's eyes for quite some time

Actually, since the beginning of his presidency, I have seen fear in his eyes -- both in his photos, and in his live appearances.

He may well fear for his life, but, on a more superficial level, he may also fear that others will or have found out that he is the imposter he knows he is.

[Cleita]

13. Let's see future wannabe Prez McCain and Unca Dick have

been visiting their ME overlords in Arabia and other parts of the ME, fishing and all. Maybe Unca Dick has had to deliver the bad news to * that his overlords are pissed off with him for some reason or the other. Maybe that's why he's scared and depressed. Just a wild guess. There will be hell to pay if McCain doesn't become President. The Saudis and other oil rich ME nations are counting on it to continue their business as usual, that being using our military and taxpayers money to further their agenda, which is tribal warfare and their dominance in the ME. This is why we are in Iraq and rattling sabers towards Iran. Of course if their USA puppet in chief is losing ground and not scaring the American public sufficiently to keep them in power, they could be really pissed off especially if it looks like their new puppet in chief might lose the election.

2. Those poor children

If I could send them light, I would. They are more important than Bush or Obama or any of the rest. Please help them find their way out of the woods.

[PinkTiger]

4. I feel about as unable as that

because I've never done that level of work. I'm willing to try, but I don't want to spin my wheels. I thought maybe someone else on this board could assist.

[MorningGlow]

5. Oh, you can

Just hold them in your thoughts, take a few really deep breaths, open your heart chakra, and picture them surrounded with brilliant white light. It will help them immensely.

[mysticalchick]

18. So true ...

... intent is everything and thanks for saying so in such a lovely and empowering way, MorningGlow. We all can do our part to bring light where it needs to shine and it truly is as easy as having the intent and picturing it.

(I do have some experience in assisting astral level beings to their next right plane of existence and at the core of it is exactly what MorningGlow said. Love, light and peace. That's it!)

[MorningGlow]

6. Regarding Obama

As I listened to his speech the other day, I picked up that part of him wanted to quit--just say "fuck it--this is not worth it--too many Americans are still such narrow-minded racists that we just can't move forward yet". I was very proud of him that he made the speech he did, because he was ready to announce something else entirely. Yes, he's depressed, and rightly so. You'd think more of us would be more enlightened at this date that it's frustrating to see how many are not.

[PinkTiger]

7. Yes, I picked up on that.

He was in a dark place then, but I think he is better now.
I'm also concerned about Hillary. Right now all this stuff that is being said about her whereabouts during Bill Clinton's encounters with Monica. That is really bothering her.
Sometimes I hate this board. Not this part of it, but some of the other parts. People are nasty and mean, and I don't care if they ARE democrats, they are not my friends.

[MorningGlow]

8. Totally, totally agree

I was for Edwards (alas) and so had no emotional investment in either Clinton or Obama, but I am completely disgusted with the way they're being treated in the media and even on this site--dig for trash, dig for trash, if you can't find something trump up something minor, throw poo, throw poo, jump up and down and scream and beat on your candidate's rival with a stick. Ugh.
:puke:

And it's only March. It's gonna be a looooong year...

[PinkTiger]

9. What I really hate is the venom.

And being an empath doesn't help. I feel the pain, truly do feel it (stop laughing - I know I sound like Bill here) and it ruins my day.
Heck, I even feel for Amy Winehouse!
LOL

[MorningGlow]

10. I'm an empath too

Rough life, isn't it? (I always loved watching Star Trek: The Next Generation and laughing at Deanna Troi--she ain't no empath! It's much messier than that! :P) Yes, my shield is my friend. And of course it's hard when people mock me for caring too much--I've been accused of lacking a sense of humor because I don't think it's funny to laugh at someone else's misfortunes. I've been told to get more callous! Ugh! :eyes:

(I feel for Amy too--and Britney--and Lindsay--and anybody else whose messy life is all over the tabloids.)

[Callie McAllie]

11. Before the Next Generation

In the original, William Shatner Star Trek, there was an episode with an empath. She got involved with Bones somehow. Someone was injured almost to the point of death and she touched him and took on his injuries and it almost killed her, but she survived.

That episode was quite profound for me. I am not the empath that some of you are, but I think I have done quite a lot of taking on other people's pain in my life, regardless of the consequences to myself.

I actually think one of the lessons I'm meant to learn in this life is to stop doing that quite so readily. At least I hope it's what I'm meant to learn, because it's what I have had to do. Sometimes the people in the most pain simply do not want to be helped, and you only risk yourself in continuing to try.

[PinkTiger]

12. LOL LIke MG said though,

that is not what an empath does. It's hard to explain to someone who isn't one. When I was a child, it was horrible, because I knew too much of what my peers were thinking. My intuitive ability grew after I was eight or nine, and there were two or three people who were on my wavelength, so to speak. We are still friends today.
I hated that I could feel when someone disliked me. It was not fun. One girl hated me so much, I finally confronted her in the bathroom when we were in 7th grade I turned around on her and said, "What? What do you want to do to me? You want to do it now?" She wanted to beat me up, she was thinking. So I said, and she is looking at me in shock, I said "Let's go at it then, right here and now. I don't mind little blood if you don't." I shoved her against the wall, and she said, "No, that's OK."
I don't know why she hated me, but she got over it after that.
I told my friends I beat her up. LOL
I'm not that confrontational, but I knew that I had to stand my ground with that beyatch.
I've had men who were in love with me and I've had to gently let them down without letting them know I knew.
I've had men who were fascinated by me and felt guilty about it (after I and they were married) and I've had to be a nice pal to them and let them down gently, also.
And I've been in love and known that it was not reciprocated at all, and that has hurt.
But probably the worst thing is when you work for someone and you know that they really don't like you, and they try to hide it.

[Grateful for Hope]

15. Hi Pink Tiger

My understanding of an empath is slightly different, I think, than your's.

I think that I am an empath in the sense that I believe I can feel another's deep emotional conflicts/feelings. I almost always react in a compassionate way -- it's like I have a deep understanding of what led to these feelings, and, I can truly empathize and often sympathize.

One can intuit another's thoughts and feelings, but, I don't think this is the same thing as being an empath.

I think that a true empath can put him/herself very completely in the shoes of the "other" and can almost completely understand where these feelings originated.

Traditionally, as far as I understand, empaths are not all that valued because they will tend to empathize even with those who may be very unpopular (or even loathed) in a particular society.

My take.

[PinkTiger]

17. Then maybe I'm not an empath.

Because I don't necessarily empathize with people. I used to more, but not today. Now I just know.
People who know me well soon find that we can communicate without words better than with words. My daughter and I, for example, do this all the time. We always have. My mother doesn't do this and she doesn't get it.
My father didn't do it either, but my Grandmother did. And she knew I did and she was afraid for me. She warned me once that the Devil will get me if I'm not careful. LOL.
But I don't believe in the Devil.
By the way, I've been doing my thing with spirits since before I could talk, nearly.
When I was a child, I played alone a lot, and I played with friends that weren't there. Not imaginary friends. Real friends, and more than one, who nobody else could see. They taught me a lot about life.
I still remember most of it.
Today I can do this anywhere I go.
Spriits don't necessarily cluster around a place, because time and space don't mean the same thing to the spirit world that it does to us.
But they do congregate around people. I think that is why everytime I go someplace different, I run into spirits who are hanging with the people there, and these spirits then like to come home with me for awhile. They like to hang with me because I"m friendly. IF that makes any sense at all.

OK I'm rambling. I'll shutup....

[Grateful for Hope]

27. I don't think you were rambling at all

I could be completely off base, PI. What I said is only my own take on the definition of an empath.

I apologize if what I said upset you in any way.

[PinkTiger]

31. Well, see, I could be off too.

I'm not sure what to call myself. The empath thing just sort of fit better than "I read people's minds," because I don't read their minds. I hear their thoughts and I sense their emotions that they don't actually verbalize. I also know stuff. I mean about people.
If I concentrate on someone long enough, I get it.
I've learned not to do that to people I like. It is invasive, LOL.
Not to mention rude.

[Callie McAllie]

25. PinkTiger, I am in awe of what you do

And I appreciately what a burden and a gift this has been to bear. (And I really do think that you should also have a cooking show)

But I also encourage you to recognize that what you do compared to others is all points on a scale. Not everything can do what you do. That doesn't mean that they can't do anything. Whether you call it empath or something else (and maybe what you do IS something else), I think it's important to recognize and appreciate that there are people who can do this to greater or lesser degrees. Whether you're Tiger Woods or the high school hopeful, you're still a golfer, right?

I SO appreciate how people, like you, who are really aces at something musst get impatient with the wannabees who maybe will never be at the same level. At the same time, I appreciate that, if the aces and the wannabees could work together, we'd all get something better we'd get from them separately. And finally, taking the long view, I appreciate that after the aces burn out or move on, the wannabees may be our next best bet for the future.

We have to all work together. That is the only way we're going to survive.

I am no empath, no psychic, no astrologer. But more and more and constantly this notion is being burned into my brain. Maybe it's the universe sending me a message, or maybe I'm spending too much time reading about the firestorm to come, but I feel this so strongly now. A larger solution is called for, we are all called upon to be part of that solution. We absolutely have to recognize and appreciate and work with each other, together, as a community, as a world, or we are lost.

If we do not all hang together we will surely hang separtely.

[PinkTiger]

32. Gee. It isn't a competition.

And I'm not sure where I fit on the scale, but I think I feel chastised? Whatever.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

33. Yes

Always a good idea to ask if a person wants help, and don't just ask on a physical level, either.

A tip, if you find yourself picking up pain and illness from another: water breath.

3/4 rhythm, emphasis on outbreath, left side. Visualize an aqua river of energy washing over and through your body, taking with it any illness or pain and giving it to the earth.

[Fire Walk With Me]

14. I sincerely doubt this about Bush or anyone I know.

[PinkTiger]

16. I'm sorry, I don't understand your post.

What do you doubt? That Bush might take his life?
Or.....

[Fire Walk With Me]

19. That he's been abandoned (his Saudi friend likely still answer the phone)

and his daddy was head of the CIA, he has his companies and all of the cronies in money matters, and all of the financial opportunities ahead of him... If he's in the bottle again then maybe, maybe, but I figure that he's here for the long run, and won't get impeached or imprisoned either. Reviled, certainly, but that didn't harm Nixon or Reagan much.

Bush is certainly a dry drunk and an incomplete personality, but I doubt that he's suicidal. He's frightened, but not beyond where he normally is, AFAICT. :shrug:

What do you base your impressions upon? I'm not doubting your proven abilities, which was why I found your OP odd. Perhaps I'm out of the loop?

[PinkTiger]

20. No problem. I'm happy to answer your questions.

I really don't have a stake in whether I'm believed or not, but I assure you, I would not lie. There will never be a way to prove my abilities, and that is fine. I don't care. The relative anonymity of this board allows me, for the first time in my life, to actually share my impressions.

I do not base my impressions on anything. I simply receive.
I received a flash of his thoughts and his general feelings.
He feels abandoned. He feels bereft. There is a great deal of self pity.
He is also angry, much of the time. He is drinking again -- actually he never really stopped. He stopped bingeing. But he never really stopped.
His family is not as closeknit as you believe.
They are -- the powerbrokers are -- finished with him. He has let them all down. He can do nobody any good. He is, today, nothing more than a placeholder and a veto pen. There is much he would have wanted to do during his presidency, even quite a bit of it for good, but they would not let him do any of it because it would have put the agenda in jeopardy. He is angry that they have reduced him to this. Need I go on?

[Fire Walk With Me]

21. I definitely did not mean to imply in any way that you were lying!

Sorry if my quest for clarity was blunt (I'm slowly growing). I just know that sometimes things are macro and micro and it's difficult to tell just what is what and when. Hindsight making one slap the forehead with new perspective :)

I can agree that the behind-the-scenes people may have dropped him, and definitely that his family is extremely disfunctional. I definitely believe that he feels great self-pity.

Thank you for the explanation. I'm glad that you're using it as a means to freedom. (My last name is my forum username, so if I get impressions, I have to be extremely certain of them prior to posting.)

[Celebration]

22. Bush has FOUR chakras that are blocked

Whew--that must feel bad, bad, bad. 3,4,5,6

One or two chakras blocked is what most of us walk around with. If this isn't addressed it could seriously affect his physical health over the next few years.

[Fire Walk With Me]

23. It does appear that he's been disintegrating a bit.

Not to the very crunchy extent of some who I know are into the darkest darkness, but he's not doing very well and likely won't be getting any better over time.

[Celebration]

28. he needs a complete energetic makeover

I am just going to guess that someone as powerful as the POTUS gets lots of dark energy directed at them. And he just happens to be more susceptible than most.

He may not be physically ill, but he is energetically ill.

I just checked again, and Laura's chakras are completely clear. I am thinking--separate lives. They would just about have to be leading completely separate lives.

[PinkTiger]

29. Yes, they are.

I wanted to comment here on this, but nobody on this board is really sympathetic with them -- LOL -- including me.
Laura and George are not very joined, and haven't been for a long time. I think Laura was somewhat shut out of things during the hey day of the first term, and decided to back into her own thing. That is why she has a separate residence where she lives most of the time, away from the White House, a place George has never been to. (He can't go there without people knowing about Laura's house.)
She raised suspicion about her "separation" when she was renovating it and moved briefly into a hotel room. But back at the White House, she is only around when necessary and really doesn't live there much. When she does, she is "visiting."

She got tired of having her life disrupted by all the terror scares and the moving of GWB to safe locations, which many times meant whisking him away to Edwards AFB to go to Air Force One and circle around the eastern seaboard until the all clear. So she moved. And they don't have much of a sex life anyway.

Truth is the "other half" -- being the uber rich -- live a far different life than most of us do. I am glad to be a proletariat, going to my little job every day, and having my little paycheck, because I have unbelievable freedom compared to the rich and famous. I'm not joking, either.

[PinkTiger]

26. Ahhhh

I hid behind my nickname - actually, PinkTiger is how I see myself. I love pink, and I love cats and tigers, and I see myself that way. If I could, I'd put it on my driver's license, LOL.

[PinkTiger]

30. Peake, it's OK.

But you did sound as though you were doubting what I said -- didn't you?
No problem. I'm not offended. It is OK.

[Callie McAllie]

24. You're in denial then

[Fire Walk With Me]

34. I'm really good at that, so I won't eschew the possibility.

I'd be very surprised if Bush snuffed himself, however. Stranger things have happened. :shrug:

I also just can't stand trying to tune in to him and his friends. Now Dick Cheney, that I can understand. He's utterly terrified. Must have been terribly controlled as a child, and now it's his turn.

I say, hug the man.

[japple]

35. Who was it--someone in this group--that had a dream

or glimpsed into the future and saw George Bush being carried out of the White House on a stretcher? And then someone else "saw" that he was not at the inauguration of the next president--Cheney and Laura Bush were there, but not GWB.

[PinkTiger]

36. I remember the stretcher post, but I didn't write it. I did say that I didn't see him

at the inauguration. However, my inauguration vision has changed in recent days.
I refuse to talk about, though, so don't ask. Really.
