…and boy does she have an attitude.
I didn’t buy it at first…why would a bug I picked up over the previous weekend reach out and communicate with me?
Okay, that really wasn’t the first question I thought. My first thought was to ask, “Are viruses sentient?” If this one is reaching out to me, then it has to be a sentient life form, right? And that question opens up a proverbial can of worms.
So back to getting contacted. I had no fever, and I was feeling clear-headed – just still heavily congested. I had had a great night of sleep, so no problems there. I went through a long list of self-checks, and came up with nothing. It was time to address it.
My Virus Reached Out To Me…
…in the form of a middle-aged dark-haired woman. She was arrogant, had a bully’s demeanor, and had what sounded like a New Jersey accent.
She informed me that this was her home and she would not be pushed out again. She continued by saying she’d been wrongly evicted and was now back where she belonged and no matter what I did, she would keep returning to her home.
Yeah, not cool. And I don’t respond well to viral bullying (which has now taken on a whole new meaning for me). I hadn’t known this until now…I’d never been consciously bullied by a virus before.
She showed me some of her ways back in and quite a few hidey-holes for her to withdraw and wait things out.
It disturbed me that not only had she had time to explore, set up hidey-holes and back door entrances, but she was aware of my efforts to evict her.
There will be a lot of time spent (off and on) processing this experience. But, one thing has popped up so far – our bodies do use various methods to communicate with us, from aches and pains to flashes of mind pictures of that food we ate earlier that is now reeking havoc on our digestive system. So why couldn’t an invading force communicate with us utilizing our own body/system to get its message through?
I can’t tell you this experience was just a dream. As the borders of 3D dissolve and we expand and awaken to all of life, who’s to say whether this communication was real or not?
I do know that regardless, I am aiming for total and permanent eviction of that pushy virus.
And I will continue pondering on what my understanding is of sentient life forms.
Oh! While I accept total responsibility for allowing this virus in – please people – for the love of life – if you are sick, stay home!
