This is so hard to look at dead on, even after researching for a long time. I have a couple thoughts and would love to dialogue with others.
First off, we are souls that contracted to come onto this plane and witness this, participate in it. Is it left over karma from Atlantis? Interesting thought, I'd love to hear others on this. I read a wonderful book from a QHHT practitioner (A HYPNOTIST'S JOURNEY TO ATLANTIS: EYE WITNESS ACCOUNTS OF OUR ANCIENT HISTORY by Sarah Breskman Cosme) that outlines what happened and why it's relevant today. I've used this information to slightly detach from the horrifying emotion around it and try to see that I'm here to play a role as a light worker, systems buster, lion to help wake up the other lions.
Second idea: we were already headed toward a mass depopulation event in the timeline/version of humanity. The Council(s) decided against an asteroid, nuclear war, etc. and decided on this. I have seen this theory in bits and pieces. While I'll likely never know, as a human 7.0, it does seem possible. If the "social-memory-complexes" in dimensions above us determine our consensus reality, to some extent, this one allows for a little more conscious choice than an asteroid or war. It sure it hard to watch people get hypnotized by media, movies, and tech but we don't need everyone to awaken. Only a certain percentage, to flip the timeline. The others will get very valuable soul lessons for their toolbelt.
Last thought: as we head deeper into this galactic cloud, things will intensify and speed up, darkness will become more and more visible. I have concluded that the best way to survive this decade and live to see the other side is to keep my own vibration high. In other words, become more transparent.
So here is what I do.... eat organic, meditate daily (even 5 minutes can reset me), listen to music at 528hz, use FLFE.net on my house and phone, stay off all social media and MSM (I kept crypto Twitter for practical reasons), cook/garden/bead/read books, rebuild community with those of like mind, get QHHT and listen to the session occasionally, be diversified between real estate, gold, silver, Bitcoin (and for fun, some other digital assets with a working product).
I'd love to hear everyone else's thoughts on this. There will be few of us but we can do this
