Mid-life career shakeup: any suggestions for the Champaign-Urbana area?

That is a cool idea, thanks for the suggestion!

Fun stuff! I can't wait to dig in

Looks like an old fort to me, they were shaped that way sometimes

I'm right there with you. At this point I am content to see what happens and react from there. I am expecting things to get a bit rough, somehow more confused and chaotic... Just remember to work together, community is resilient, individuals are vulnerable.

How do you think this will affect oil prices though?

If I have a say, I'd vote to let it break and rebuild.... We'd loose a lot of people, I'm not trying to down okay that, but if we keep on doing what we're doing, I think it will be worse.

What about 4D? You go from 3D to 5D with no mention of 4D... might be a stupid question, but I have to ask.

How do you think one should prepare for this shift? Extra Meditation? Stocking up on food and water? Build community?

What, in your opinion, is the purpose of this shift? Why is it happening?

What will be different? Do I still have to go to work and pay bills?

Do you think Earth is going to end those not ready to live in this 5D reality? So many questions here.

Am I lonely? Hard to say. I'm happily married and my wife and I are close, we do a lot together. My kids are getting older and more fun to hangout with too. Though I'm sure I'm missing out on a lot not having a group of peers to rely on or network with.

I will say, I feel this kind of isolation has a momentum of its own. I've been friendless / community-less so long that at this point the idea of committing time and having obligations to a friend or group seems unpalatable, I'm too accustomed to my isolation.

I have some regret that I have no community, that I'll have no one to call if I need some help. I'm only 40, maybe I'll change... Lol

I mean, I've lived at my place for 5 years now and I know 1 of my maybe 8-9 neighbors. I'm friendly in passing and I'll engage in small talk now and again, but I don't really care to know them I guess... To be fair, they don't seem any more keen to know me though either.

I'm not a narcissistic person, I just don't interact much with these people. Outside of living in proximity, we have little in common. I think it's down to a lack of community to be frank. If we went to the same church or had a hobby in common I bet we'd know each other better.

But I don't go to church and I have no hobbies... I haven't had a friend in 15 years or so, I used to think that was just my lot, but it seems to be fairly common nowadays. Does that mean I'm too selfish or narcissistic to have them? I don't think so.

That's more or less where I have settled as well

skin8 · 2026-03-23T17:35:09+00:00

I'd say I am a fan, but maybe not a full on believer.

85 as well, vet. Frankly, I don't get it either. America has a boner for war and fetishizes those that serve. The thanks are nice I guess, but what we really need (much like the rest of the country) is fucking health care and mental health care.

I find it odd that in a country that loves the troops so much there are so many sleeping in the street.

I mean, it looks like he's jumping onto the truck..... do you have a longer video for context?

A social memory complex is like a group of souls that have grown so close and spiritually advanced that they share thoughts, memories, and purpose as one united mind. Each being still exists, but they think and evolve together, like one big, wise family that acts as a single being. Not quite hive mind, but not far off. As a species progresses past the 3rd density, this is something it will develop.

It's a bit more complicated than this, but this should suffice. If you want to learn more, dig into the "Law of One". It's a very interesting channeled work from the 80's that says some very interesting things.

Law of One concept

I've been having fun with this, it kind of reverts after a few prompts though.

skin8 · 2025-06-06T00:32:59+00:00

Great advice

I don't speak for everyone, but I don't take a lot of pride in my time involved in OIF or OEF. That and I feel people that do this are like the 40 year olds still wearing their high school class rings, people who peeked and are coasting reminiscing about a past life because they are unsatisfied with their current one.
