Hello and welcome to My Left Ear. I'm Carrie Freeman, and this is my co-host, Petey Freeman, who is sitting right next to me. This is a liberal YouTube channel, and the name comes from my ability to receive messages through my left ear. Today, we are diving into video 236, recorded on November 16th, a Saturday, right after a bright full moon that illuminated my apartment.
I had a strong inclination to title this video "Do Not Like or Subscribe." This title serves as an experiment in confronting fear and challenging the norms of YouTube culture. It’s a way to grab attention and encourage viewers to reflect on their own fears, as we are all currently in a fight-or-flight state due to various global events.
When we experience loss, shock, or sudden change, our bodies instinctively enter the fight-or-flight response. This reaction can be debilitating, often leading to sleep disturbances, mood swings, and heightened irritability. For instance, after the events of 9/11, many people experienced severe anxiety and sought help from mental health professionals.
To illustrate this, consider the example of a gazelle escaping a lion. Once the danger has passed, the gazelle shakes off the experience and continues with its life, while humans tend to hold onto trauma unless we actively engage in self-care practices like exercise, meditation, or therapy.
I want to share my personal experience of feeling devastated after the recent election. It has taken me time to process these feelings, and I am still navigating through them. I have been reflecting on my past predictions and the emotional weight they carry, which has led to a sense of PTSD regarding my earlier optimism.
Recently, I explored numerology, particularly focusing on the year 2025. In numerology, we cycle through years numbered one to nine, with each year representing different themes. Currently, we are in an eight year, which typically signifies financial stability. However, 2025 will be a nine year, symbolizing endings and significant global and personal changes.
I recall a time when I worked at a drug rehabilitation facility in Malibu. During my eighth year there, I sensed that I would be let go due to the unethical practices of my boss, who resembled Donald Trump in many ways. I prepared for this eventuality by clearing out my office, which ultimately led to my dismissal. However, I was able to negotiate a severance package due to my foresight and preparation.
I consulted the runes to gain insight into the current political climate and whether President Biden is taking any significant actions behind the scenes. The runes indicated frustrations and challenges, suggesting that we may be experiencing a period of stagnation and uncertainty.
I also explored the dynamics of Trump's new chief of staff, Susie Wilds. The runes revealed a complex relationship characterized by transactional elements, indicating that while there may be initial success, complications are likely to arise.
Reflecting on the current state of education, I believe that many individuals lack the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. This highlights the need for a robust educational system that encourages critical thinking and awareness.
I want to share insights from Martha Beck's article on the stages of becoming a butterfly, particularly the first stage: dissolving. This phase can be frightening as it involves losing one’s identity and feeling formless. It’s essential to embrace this process and trust that transformation will occur in due time.
Thank you for joining me today. I hope you found value in these reflections on fear, emotional responses, and the significance of numerology in our lives. If you're interested in learning more about how to compute your personal year in numerology, please let me know in the comments. Let's continue to support each other through these challenging times and embrace the changes ahead.
