"What if the pandemic is a device for healing our mistaken perspective, our deeply ingrained and nasty habit, that we are separate from Nature and Joy and from all the people and creatures in the world."

Your words and their implications startled me. I had COVID in March 2020 and the physical symptoms were truly terrible but the vivid, serialized dreams were frightening in a completely different way. Over the course of 15-20 consecutive dreams, I was left with the belief that our human lives are a construct directed by something outside of humanity... and the governing rules of that construct are about to drastically change.

Daily, nearly two years later, I consider how much of my psyche may be responsible for that message and am willing to admit that my own fever, fears and imagination might color my interpretation. But even then, I can't shake the belief that each of my dreams took me to "thin places" where worlds are fused together.

Your post adds more fuel for thought. Thank you.
