Since diving deep into consciousness, which is being aware of my thoughts, emotions and beliefs, I can’t help but reflect regularly on what has been showing up for me in my external world. Since my external world is a reflection of my internal world, I’m aware that I need to pay real close attention so that I’m able to uncover the clues showing up.

As I journaled tonight, this is what I uncovered for me and what the virus and government represents for me from a consciousness perspective:

The virus (fear) has been spreading more and more so the government (ego) has been controlling more and more. The government (ego) has been restricting our activity to try and keep us safe. It’s all the government (ego) knows how to do to prevent the virus (fear) from spreading to those who are the most vulnerable (in fight/flight/freeze/stress mode).

My take away from this is that when fear surfaces, my ego tries to control to keep me safe, fear keeps me in the fight/flight/freeze response.
