Thanks for being a tether to reality, Pete! Dr. Bruce Lipton’s entire groundbreaking book The Biology of Belief is entirely about this topic as is his incredible 2.5 hour presentation on the subject well worth a watch. It’s abundantly clear the Placebo/Nocebo Effects are incredibly real and can be controlled with training https://youtu.be/82ShSNuru6c

One of the few people I kept in contact with from school died of cancer January 6, 2019. Coincidentally she was married to one of the others I kept contact with. Their anniversary was December 23rd. I was around the last month or so. I’m firmly convinced the only reason she made it to January 6, was because she didn’t want to die to close to Christmas and their anniversary.

I started not worrying about what I couldn’t control when I was in the Army Reserves. I ended up never deploying but I came close once. I was voluntold to fill a combat engineer slot in a sister company in my battalion by the sergeant major while we were in the field for weapons qualification. Got back to the unit several hours later and someone else had volunteered to go. There’s me not deploying. Dude who took that spot came back fucked up. Another dude from my unit went and was sick one day so another guy took his spot as driver and he just rode along, they were doing route clearance which is driving routes looking for bombs. They found one that day and the guy in his regular spot was killed. At the end of your first contract if you don’t re enlist you have to do two years in the individual ready reserve. You don’t have to do anything but they can call you if they need you. They called the guy that died. Two weeks before he was done forever. When it’s your time it’s your time. You just can’t let that stuff bother you.

Damn. It really is either roll of the dice or providence (whichever you adhere to)

I’m more roll of the dice. The guy that got sick and lived is a minister these days so I’m sure he would sat providence.

Its important to disconnect from the matrix and reconnect with actual humans. Friends an family, physically touching them and listening to what they have to say. I have hope for the future but it’s gunna get worse before it gets better.
