About once a week, I take a lady neighbor out to dinner. We live in the same apartment building. She and her husband lived there for many years, before he crossed over. I hear lots of her laments about things that bug bug her. If she lived in my skin, she might have other things to lament instead.

I told her the other night of when I saw a beam-shaped space ship hovering beside a cloud above my home, and my clinical social worker wife and her son and a clinical social worker friend would not look up when I told them what I was seeing. Instead, they said, Yeah, right. They said, yeah, right, when I told them the ship had darted behind the cloud. They said, yeah, right, when I told them to look up and see the cloud being slowly stretched across the sky like a very wide vapor trail.

I told my neighbor that they did not want to look up, because they did not want to see the ship and have their view of just about everything challenged.

My neighbor said that she and her husband were out in the country one night and saw a wedge-shaped air ship hovering stationary above them, them it instantly vanished.

While my neighbor has more trouble accepting that I am in steady communion with angels and other spirit beings, who instruct, cortrect and sometimes scare the shit out of me, she is more accepting than most people I have known, including quite a few people I encountered at r/spirituality.

I told her he other night that I no longer am of this world, but I still am required to live here and experience it until I cross over.

I told her that angels made me into an inverted shaman. Instead of going into other realms and tinkering with this or that to fix something on this world, like regular shamans do, I engage the problem on this world, absorb it, feel it, process it inside of me, and then I see what I call the strike point, which is the core of the problem, its fulcrum, and I speak directly to it.

If II am trying to help a a person with something, I listen to what they tell me and when I see their strike point and tell them what it is and and if they go for it, it will be like twanging a spider web and the entire web is affected and they will change.

I told her there is a very old method, which was reiterated in A COURSE IN MIRACLES, which is don't react to what punches our buttons. Simply sit with the discomfort after our buttons are punched. Keep doing that, and we change.

Meanwhile, we all are required to live on this world and experience what it has in store for us. Money is necessary to get buy, unless we are homeless and live in the street and perhaps are fortunate to have a soup kitchen and nighttime homeless shelter nearby.

I did that off and on for several years. Perhaps my soul advanced, or perhaps it was damaged. For being homeless is a very hard way of living, especially when police are instructed to make your life even harder, so that you might move somewhere else.

When someone asked me the other day, what is my take on Ukraine?, I said I'm glad I don't live there. I think if the Donald Trump and his legions get their way, a lot of Americans will come to know better what its like for people in Ukraine now.

I think America's President Joe Biden should have imposed horrible sanctions on Russia before it invaded Ukraine, and he should have given Ukraine thousands of anti-aircraft and anti-tank missiles and thousands of automatic rifles and unlimited bullets before the invasion. Instead, Biden prayed and tried to negotiate with another barbarian- Vladimir Putin.
