greetings. I’m new to this forum, but have been reading Seth since 1974. The material has been the rudder on my ship. That said I do see a gift from this pandemic. It has given us the opportunity for deep reflection, to look closely upon our society, our politics, our families, our work and our personal lives and beliefs. In “The individual and mass events” Seth notes that pandemics are sometimes a protest, by those who sicken and even die, against conditions that have not been dealt by other means. I look at the parallel agonies of George Floyd and the BLM protests calling out “I can’t breathe”, and I see people in the hospitals on ventilators reaching out with “I can’t breathe” .I wonder if this whole drama is an outpicturing of people around this country and around the world feeling suffocated by everything from crushing debt, to exploitation of their work, and lives, to crushing wars and the powers that promulgate them…and to the BELIEF (peddled by trump, the hard right ,and the media) that it’s all about WINNING in a ruthless arena of competition. I believe that Covid 19 asks us the question “Do we want to stand With people or On people?” I choose WITH🌺
