As the reality of the COVID-19 behavior becomes more and more clear to political leaders, to citizens and is shared with the world, it is interesting to see the lag time.

I knew in January we would be hit hard by this virus. I could see clearly in my mind that there would be death and economic failure.

In some ways, I think it is like the illusion of the presence of a star. At distances that we cannot in our ant like perception of life phathom at all, a light releases energy. By the time it travels to us, by the time we can see the energy signature, vast amounts of time and space have been covered.

We are seeing that lag time in perception so clearly now. In January the World Health Organization warned that a pandemic had begun. Very few listened. Very few understood. We began with the very tiniest first comprehension which was, of course, delivered only through that which we, personally, had experienced.

It is interesting to watch the process by which we lock ourselves into what has been experenced in our own personal narrative. We cannot conceive of scenarios we have not personally lived through. We create our sense of truth out of only that which has played out in our own, individual lives. Hence, when we are greeted by a sudden change we experience “shock.”

“Oh,” we said, “it is a flu. I know what a flu is. I had the flu and I got over it.”

And so fhe first clarity was not clarity at all.

Vaccines and careful scientific reactions to past pandemics have made us utterly blind and tone deaf to what a single virus can do to the world. The majority of us have not experinced bubonic plaque, or the black death. We have not experienced the writhing pain of death by small pox. We have never seen it or lost someone we know to that story.

Only a few people who read know what epidemics have unleashed in the world. Only a few people that lived through the polio epidemic understand that one day there is no problem then ten days later people you know are deformed, dead, or in an iron lung.

And so now we are watching a deeply internalized sense of what is the shared reality begin to shift.

We do not, like our ancestors did, move our dying into the living room and sit eating next to them so they have company. Children do not grow up seeing people in their family fall ill and pass away with the entire family gathered around them.

Now we sanitize and we isolate the dying. Death is said by sociologists to be the last great obscenity. We habitually move our loved ones to a “facility” and most children are spared the knowing of mortality that is inevitable to human beings.

But what precisely is free cialis sample in this herb that is commonly used to come up with products to increase sexual stimulus. It also offers effective treatment for viagra in uk shops sexual weakness. The doctors prescribe for the disease to take cialis discount canada . It is one framework around a lot levitra generika of people. So on so many levels we are starting to see the information coming at us with no filter. We are starting to see certain segments of society understand and adapt to the newly structured reality. And we see others who cling to the world they have created in their own lives, or the sense of the world they have moved through in the past. They are reluctant to adapt. Some world leaders are pushing hard against the need to change the way things are done, have always been done.

Dr. Aylward, the World Health Organization doctor who has attended the center of the hot spots for Ebola, Sars, Polio and now Covid-19 has said that viruses are reactive. When you change the climate of the world, you change all life forms. He links these newly formed pandemics to Global climate disruption.

How do we learn a lesson? Just in the same way a child learns. Something bigger and more powerful came into the room and takes our toys, rips our distractions out of our hands, put us in time out.

We cannot buy our way out of this lesson. We cannot more furiously play video games, hunt for a new purse, party the weekend away with other friends.

We ask, “What do we do now? What will happen? When will it end?” We see our child like self clearly.

Now it is “me and it.” Particularly if you live alone… you are sitting across from the economic disruption. You look directly at the realization that you are motal; the understanding that your health and well being depends on others taking care of their health and well being. What falls away is your sense that you are independent from your national government and don’t need them. What falls away is the sense that you don’t need anybody else.

It is in your face, this NOW.

And like looking in a mirror, we each see what drives us. We each see what we value most.

We are smack dab in the place of knowing our relationship with our own personality. There is nothing in the way.

We ask: “Who am I?” We ask: “Who am I meant to be?” We ask; “What needs to change so the world is a better place?”

These questions are ultimately the path to healing so much sickness. The world has our attention now.
