A spirit of madness on the waters

It’s odd, because I am not a Christian, but it feels to me like Christians, as a group, are probably the single largest group able to resist the craziness flowing through our society.  I think they were a large part of Trump’s base in 2016–his infidelities and other sins notwithstanding–and that that support is growing.

Being a “Buddhist” does not seem to help.  Being a “mental health professional” does not seem to help.  All these people are caught up in the mania.

It almost feels like the angel of death is passing through the land, and that only those with crosses hanging in their homes are being spared.

Now, this is I think overwrought and vaguely histrionic.  I just woke up and was having some exceptional vivid dreams–what are called lucid dreams are not at all uncommon for me–but that is, in any event, what I am going to SAY, while processing how I feel.

I will comment, actually, that part of the reason Stranger Things was so popular is that I think we all sense there is something like the Upside Down.  There is a place where everything is connected.

I will add that I am taking a week off from news and social media.  I am much too addicted.  I call it an information fast, as I have likely shared in the past.

I am also directly confronting some dark and old forces in me, and all that media distracts me.
