“penumbra”
As I have gotten older, early 50s, I have weird “dreams” when I’m passing between when I’m asleep and awake. (early morning, lucid dreaming) Today, I woke up at 6am Central, on the dot, with “penumbra” on my brain. This may be a coincidence as I don’t sleep that well anymore. (sleep apnea) That word though, is not a common word, yet it came out of nowhere to me this morning. Nothing in my day-to-day would have caused it to bubble to the surface; though I am aware of the word. Does it mean anything? Q has talked about “spotlight”. I have no idea. I just wanted to document it here in case it eventually did amount to anything.
I found this: Penumbra, Inc.
Penumbra, Inc. is a medical device company headquartered in Alameda, California. The company was founded by Arani Bose and Adam Elsesser in 2004. It manufactures devices for interventional therapies to treat vascular conditions such as stroke and aneurysm.
Vax injury related, perhaps?
And then this, of course:
PENUMBRA:
the partially shaded outer region of the shadow cast by an opaque object.
IN ASTRONOMY - the shadow cast by the earth or moon over an area experiencing a partial eclipse.
IN ASTRONOMY - the less dark outer part of a sunspot, surrounding the dark core.
Interesting.
In medicine.

My son-i-l had sleep apnea and got a device that cured it. He looked like a sea diver wearing it to bed but it worked.
I have a CPAP machine, but it is broken. I need to find a doctor who can write me a prescription; one who is not pro-vax.
Umbra is the dark shadow and penumbra is the partial shadow.
The Evil has been operating in the dark shadows for all these centuries, but only now being exposed. One might say, they are not in Penumbra.
Aka, the stirrings of the Great Awakening.
Wow, you’re good. That’s exactly what I was thinking this morning at an intuitive level.
I am an atheist and don’t believe in any “mumbo jumbo”. Still, where the fuck did this come from? Other than recently looking at the planets in the sky, there was nothing for me to think about where it comes to “penumbra”.
I have been atheist for my whole life until I came across the "This is going to be Biblical" Q post, and started really digging into this.
Long story short, what I realised on my own is that there is a spiritual element to this world, thats completely different from what most religions talk about, even though all religions touch very lightly on this reality.
I now believe that the spirituality comes from the universal vibration of which we are all part of, and all matter is simply different manifestations of this universal vibration and sentient beings have much more complicated resonance with this vibration.
I think every person who can open their mind and practice a bit of meditation daily, will eventually start feeling this connection. There may be other ways, but I have mainly been able to experience this connection through meditation.
Imagine what happens when every person starts resonating with this universal vibration. I believe they call it ascension (Q asked about it recently as well). I think the number of people who are slowly getting there is increasing, hence increasing the power of this vibration, perhaps causing dreams such as yours.
I highly recommend learning and trying out mindful meditation to see where this takes you.
I see where you going and at an intuitive level I understand.
I know more, but before I talk about this, I want to explore this path. (I think that people in the past have tried to quantify this, mathematically and geometrically, but in a ham-handed way.)
I have been highly skeptical of all of this “vibration” talk; because they have failed to put it into simple terms. At the same time though when lucid dreaming I have seen weird things. I wish I had taken the time to write it down, but I solved a problem when lucid dreaming in a way that I would not have if I were awake. (at least that’s how I remember it) I’m going to be more vigilant in recording my lucid dreams and try some meditation.
"vibration" was my own interpretation of what I experienced when I started doing meditation regularly. I later realized others have been using the same term to describe this universal God. So, I use this word as I take it as a double confirmation.
I think the word I would use is “harmony”.
There is still “musical” stuff that I won’t go into here; more ham-handedness I think to describe what you are experiencing and what I might be experiencing. There is a book that I will point you to later if any of this stuff starts making sense. Right now it is a distraction.
Here's one I just made up: Dick Chick.
Not 100% sure, but I want to say the term is “man”

Luke 6:28
“Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you.”
Getting better at doing that. A while back my old friendly, gentle dog got savaged by a Japanese Akita. The owner apologised and said they would pay for the vet bill. They didn't, and the husband tried to make out that it was my dog's fault. He has been giving me the evils since.
Today I found a wire running along the top of my vegetable plot fence had been cut. Didn't get upset or angry, just thought "The Lord knows, He will repay". Only one possible suspect so I prayed for him while I fixed it. Bet his satanic master didn't like that. Whenever someone is nasty I pray for them; amazing how rarely this happens now. Wish I'd been able to do this years ago, would have saved a lot of aggro.
Amen
It’s hard to pray for those that lie and cheat you. I guess that’s why God asks us to humble ourselves. As long as I know my heart is pure when I close my eyes at night, that’s what matters to me. I can’t control what others do, that’s between them and God. I respect your kind heart.🙏🏻
Anger and bitterness caused by others eats away at you, perpetuates the hurt and keeps you from many blessings. It is hard until you realise people are demonically influenced. Forgiving and praying for them breaks the cycle.
Christians get attacked in all sorts of ways. Years ago when my new neighbours moved in I welcomed them and was friendly and generous, even though they are not the nicest people. Asked them to please keep the noise down late at night and they turned and did the opposite, kept me awake till 3am.
I got angry and sick. Railed against them, cursed them and prayed to move. Then I realised the battle was spiritual, repented and started praying for them and thanking God for them. The change was almost instantaneous, the noise stopped. When it started up again it was back to prayer and praise. Now there is peace and I've learned a valuable lesson. God's ways are best.
Yes they are, HE definitely knows what it takes to keep us on our knees at times. People are spiteful and mean but that is their choice. But then when things come their way they seem to not understand why. I choose to stay humble so I can be blessed.
Beautiful comment fren. Keep that close in your heart and soul. God WINS.
Amen. 😇
Could this speaker fiasco be the "shutdown" referred to in drop 282?
Is it the 10 days of darkness drop? I hope so. A light bulb went off in my head today while I was working. Without a speaker nothing is able to take place. I also wondered if on the 17th vote for McCarthy that Trump might be installed.
Cool. Have them bring a snack tray.
I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

Guys, when do the speaker votes start again today?
Apologies, just found that it had started already
For those interested in natural medicine: I’m in the third week of an unknown food or contact allergy rash and itching. Also could be eczema, not sure. I’ve had a hives type skin condition for 45 years and have been on Atarax since it started. I’ve never experienced an itch like this. I believe I understand the meaning of cat scratch fever. I’ve got an appointment tomorrow. It’s not very smart but I’ve taken way to much Benadryl & it only helps about two hours. Nothing I have used has cured the rash but it has slowed the itching. Witch hazel has been the best at calming the itch. I’ve tried essential oils and plant oil salves, steroid cream a family member has and cortisone even though it has toxic petroleum. I made a paste off: baking soda, epsom salt, honey, Bragg vinegar, yarrow-licorice tinctures, aloe and CBD oil. I applied paste in shower and when I got out I used bony butter containing: mango butter shea butter , apricot kernel oil, peach kernel oil and baobab oil. After a sleepless night of scratching I finally fell better. I’ve got an appointment at a walk in clinic and hopefully get diagnosis and something to stop rash. It’s so frustrating because it’s hard to determine the source. I thought it was a reaction to new goat milk soap, haven’t used in a week and still getting rash in new places. I’m making this post in hopes of helping others. There’s so many natural plants, etc that can treat most anything. I can tell every thing has helped but nothing if a cure with out the source.
I know you have already gone to the doctor...here a few suggestions tho...I took Atarax for a while in the 70's for dermatographism (hives)when my parents got divorced. I have also had cold hives and successfully used the homeopathic natrum mur. Medicine worked good but eventually wanted off. I found the book Body Mind and the B Vitamins and started taking about 100mg profile of B's plus C which are for nerve health...you can go up to 150 mg. Profile. Got off the Atarax. There is a homeopathic histamine that you could take in 30x or 200x and keep on hand. Under the tongue it works within minutes. Also, for relief colloidal oatmeal baths are very soothing. Skin conditioners are very hard to treat...even for doctors. Get your vitamin d levels up and take K...you will see improvement. We have very similar skin conditions and itching is the thing I hate most in the world. Good luck...
Thanks
Your skin may be detoxing; rashes and eczema can definitely be how it shows. For the most part, we remedy things from the inside, out. I wish you well.
Thanks & Very true words. I’ve read a lot on skin conditions and food sensitivity. Most rashes are from something wrong inside. If it clears again and returns I’ll probably get tested for food allergies. I have dermagraphism and that’s why my itching is so bad. It can be genetic or get it from certain bug bites. I had scabies and then the itching condition. Basically hives caused by touch. It’s too much release of histamine in blood stream. On a daily basis my itch isn’t the norm. I also have pain, it hurts extra bad to walk on gravel. Those skipper socks with rubber grip hurt my feet and it’s like a tiny drop of glue. I don’t remember what a regular itch is like. Hoping I get a steroid shot tomorrow.
You might want to think about a functional medicine practitioner. The assessments, testing, and background of these folks make MDs look even worse than they are. Have you ever been to a chiropractor? The integrity of the information to and from the brain and the rest of the body is crucial. Drugs can be useful in the short term but they do not address the REASON for whatever difficulty we're dealing with. It sounds like you have a lot to deal with and I am thankful that my issues are not as physically challenging as yours seem to be. Be well, friend.
I’ve considered a functional med doctor. I searched a lot and can’t find good reviews for the ones in my area. I’m hesitant to at the minimum $500.00 and they can’t help me. I should see if consult is free. I figured out the source of the rash. My dentist recommended Crest Densify. Every ingredient except water causes skin rash, swelling, itching and hives. One ingredient may cause skin cancer.
Awesome!!!! So glad to hear that. I will say that I dealt with chiropractors who do functional medicine. Other disciplines do it as well. I don't think they were that greedy. Regardless.......super to hear!
Try Vick’s vaporub. That sucks, though. Could it be your laundry soap?
And yep, you’re gonna smell bad.
I once just walked into a Walmart I’d never been to before to get to a Subway and immediately started sneezing and had probably the worst allergies of my life for a couple days. Someone said it could have been their cleaning products, maybe something on the floor. I didn’t even touch anything. Have you been around something new like that?
Thanks, anything that’s thick like Vicks makes it worse. I’ve got an arsenal of many herbal salves. My husband has two prescription topicals and both made it burn. My daughter has a tallow based cream (for babies and eczema) I used that today and it’s working longer than anything yet. There’s nothing good in a subway, not surprising you had a reaction. I’ve had about two subs from there in my life. I eat Jersey Mike’s or don’t eat subs.
Yeah, I never go to Subway anymore. Good luck, hopefully there is something to help you.
As an allergy magnet with asthma, excema from practically everything under the sun my entire life (my son is too) I have been going through the same thing. Still trying to figure it out myself but the best suggestions from our old allergist before we moved was to eliminate suspicious foods or ingredients one at a time for a few week and see if it makes a difference, if not try another and do the same., keep trying that then move to other things like pets, fireplace, plants, etc to narrow down then eliminate problem. Btw; they now have not only allergy shots (which my son and I both did a three year round of a few years back, but now asthma shots which he is about to start as soon as they send it. His insurance took forever to approve it.
Insurance is the worst! We pay for it and have to beg for coverage when we need it. Just like the medical system, insurance needs a major overhaul. That’s what we get when our government allows monopolies. I have had allergy shots at two different times in my life. I was stupid enough to get them again about ten years ago. First time early twenties and I never saw improvement. I think it’s a scam. Hopefully the asthma shot works for your son. If not research herbs and essential oils that help asthma. Sorry I can’t help, I don’t know a lot about asthma natural treatments. Yes, cutting out a food at a time is key. I haven’t done it yet because I really thought it was my new soap. Can’t be because I haven’t used it over a week. It’s getting more progressive by the day. I have been using the same laundry detergent for at least six months. I buy non toxic natural plant based detergent. I really believe it’s soy in processed foods. Time will tell.
I have IBS and my brother has Celiacs and I have more trouble with my digestion due to ten stomach surgeries (long story-massive pain from screwed up reproductive system) and have to cut out certain things that don’t digest well plus living on Miralax and my brother had to eliminate all processed sugar, dyes and gluten. He also found out that the sugars and dyes also made his youngest son go all ADHD in overdrive. He does fine otherwise
Makes sense right? Trump cant say the real truth many times for various optics or other reasons. But he can let us know what he really thinks via a parody account.

When I was in line at the grocery store the man in front of me had a total bill of $137.00. He paid $20.00 in cash the remainder was paid by us, the taxpayer, food stamps. I’m old school I know they have a new name but let’s call it what it really is. He looked to be at least in his forties and didn’t look like he’d washed his hair recently. I know appearances shouldn’t come into factor. The government assistance needs to be stopped so people will work. My nephew hasn’t worked since he graduated high school and he’s twenty three. He & his baby mama lives with my brother. She doesn’t work either and is probably getting assistance for the baby. I don’t get this mentality. I don’t want anything for free especially a hand out. I feel bad if my dad or in laws pay for my meal. (I understand if someone physically can’t work due to health reasons or have a mental condition preventing them from working) I don’t understand laziness!
I get where you are coming from. I'm also on government assistance and yes I should be working, but the problem with that is we get a good chunk from the gov't that last a month for us.
The reason why my wife and I are on gov't assistance is because we're deaf and also because we have a hard time finding a job due to discrimination. I went to college and graduated with Bachelor's in I.T. but unfortunately none of the employers want to hire me. I've applied to over 700 jobs and went on maybe 3 interviews so far.
Right now I'm probably considered too old and probably too white to work at a D.E.I. company and I have yet to start my career since graduating from college.
I've had a job but the problem with that job I was working at (at a retail store fixing computers) is that the pay wasn't great and I've had ONE single pay increase in 5 years. I even applied to become an assistant manager, but home office said because I'm deaf, that is impossible for me to be one due to my inability to speak verbally with the customers.
After 5 years, I had to quit because we were expecting our child and given our financial situation, it was impossible for us to live off my income. We were even struggling to live off on my income before the baby came. While my wife is deaf, she also can't work due to some other physical issues so I'm the only one capable of working.
Because of that, that would mean I have to get two, maybe three jobs to be able to support my family. The gov't assistance we get monthly, pays off everything we need to pay per month plus food and at the end of the month, we would be almost broke but at least we're not broke after the 1st week or two, if we had to rely on my income from my previous job. I would estimate the amount we get per month from assistance equals two jobs, maybe three "blue collar" jobs? It's a real sad state we are in right now.
Right now I would love to work as I've always envisioned myself working for a corporate, servicing and maintaining their infrastructure and all but like I said, I applied to over 700 jobs and none of them want to hire me, despite my co-workers from my recent job saying I will have no problems landing a job because I'm too good at what I do. I even got awards commending my performance (4 years in a row) and apparently that isn't enough to prove my worth with the companies I've applied to.
Discrimination is real and it's a long story for me to get into. I can PM you if you're still interested in learning more about this but it really pisses me off that I can't work in my dream career field because I grew up with computers (since 7 years old and I'm in my 40's now).
Even I'm not the only deaf professional struggling to find a job in the corporate world, a lot of my friends from the college I attended, are deaf and they also are struggling to find jobs due to discrimination. This is why I see "Diversity, Equity and Inclusion" as a bullshit gimmick to show that they're woke. Sure, they can hire people in wheelchairs but they won't hire deaf people and blind people because it would be too much for them to handle.
I know you said you understand those who are physically incapable of working but for me, I CAN work. The problem is the $$$. I've been told I should be working but when I explained our financial situation with $$$, they understood why I wasn't looking for a job because it's not financially sound.
This is why I voted and support President Trump because he's the one who can fix this shitty economy we're in, on top of everything.
Yes you do have an excellent point on people being too lazy and live off welfare while they should be working because they're disrupting the balance of the economy. I've seen some people posting on social media, showing their receipt where they bought a lot of food (about a thousand dollars worth) and still have $2,000 leftover for the month. We do not even get food stamps so how tf are they getting food stamps?! Illegal aliens and uh... people of the darker complexion comes to mind on the reason behind this.
I might not have been clear. I don’t believe everyone getting assistance from the government is bad. The American society doesn’t take care of their families like many other countries. I don’t want to live anywhere else but I highly respect the cultures where the children take care of their parents or other family members. If you truly need assistance there nothing wrong with that. Many people with serious medical conditions might be homeless if assistance or SS disability wasn’t available. Blessings to you and your family.
God does not reward laziness. You don’t work, you don’t eat. I understand that there circumstances to each situation and I am sad for people that can’t get help they deserve because all the lazy people are milking the system. God has his way of taking care of thieves.
Amen!
Well check this out.. my friend who's very well to do and owned his own company, a brownstone in the city and a vacation home in the hamptons.. his parents in law, who are even wealthier, owned a nice million dollar house in Massachusettes.. they get food stamps. We were like WTF.. they're the kind of people who milked the system to the core, have no shame.. meanwhile my in laws, who are struggling, refuse to ever go on food stamps. To them that is stooping to a new low. I'm the same way. I'd rather die than be a beggar. Maybe it's pride and honor.
Sadly that doesn’t surprise me. I love it when people like that go down. I used to watch The Chrisley’s reality tv show and actually liked it. Only reality show I’ve ever watched. As soon as I heard about the husband and wife being investigated for federal bank fraud and tax evasion I stopped watching. Those two are now going to jail. They both are going to jail. When I read that I thought, “finally someone’s doing the time for their crime.
Welfare Queen !
Good points and info. I’m ok without a source because I can do my own research.
"the welfare state is just one prong at removing man's self-esteem/certainty/etc - just as education based on not teaching thinking but rather obedience does. All leads to dependence on handouts etc."
YES!
There is an entire generation that has had their critical thinking skills and individual drive beaten out of them. The result, a dependent, social rule following generation, effectively disabled. They are suffering a need for purpose. I believe this is why so many of them jump on the social justice bandwagon - from just a need to attach to something for purpose. No drive to work, create, build. To me, it is heartbreaking.
Too many people just randomly having children with no means to support them, is the drain. Even before birth control was available, somehow many families were not started until there was some form of security start a family. People laughed at the Catholics because of lack of family planning in one way or another, and yes, my best friend in elementary school had an enormous family, the father worked as a laborer, and they were "poor" by neighborhood standards, and the size of the family was unusual to me. Obviously other adults who were married , and those who were not, figured out how to not get pregnant. Pregnancy became a way to assure government subsidies in the 70', if I recall, and, with the moral decline and the "free love" trend, there was no more stigma to out of wed lock pregnancies. Right now, you have homeless people getting knocked up. I think social security is a good thing, I paid into it, however, right now, if my son was not here to help, I would probably avail myself to such things as meals on wheels, stopping all my streaming services, which are a luxury, and some of the help they give seniors for fuel bills, etc. I could also rent out rooms. From young adulthood, I always had a detailed plan for survival, non of which included "going on welfare." I chose to have a child with my husband at the time, after both of us had an income and we had a small homestead. He left when I was 6 months pregnant, (I had a bad habit of finding men with potential, I was attracted to potential). I was working up until the last month, and my job had insurance, so I was able to have my baby, and had accrued enough sick and vacation time to stay home with him for almost a full year. There was no child support, his father flew the coop and left little hints as to where he went, I still do not know, my guess is that he is in Canada somewhere, he had dual citizenship, probably dead from alcohol and drugs at this point. But my point is, even with doing everything right, there I was, pregnant and alone. But, I never got pregnant again, I did not use my body as a welfare check.
“I had a bad habit” …
“doing everything right, there I was”
Incongruent
I realized , with maturity, my errors in my choice of men, I was doing everything right morally speaking, in comparison to what the social norms would have allowed at that time. I waited for marriage, I was married when I became pregnant, I was settled, sober, and believed in my husband. It was later, after blaming myself and seeking council , both through AA and my Pastor, I came to the realization I had a tendency to be attracted to people's potential, instead of what they actually did do.
I hear you honey, been there, done that and got the T shirt. I placed too much confidence in the men in my life, and when I was let down it actually made me a better person.
It wasn't easy, I was devastated, but I put all of my commitment to my son, and just am very glad he did not have to know that guy and be betrayed by him . It was his loss in the end, my son is a good man, strong, kind, protective, funny as all get out, handsome, wise beyond his years. and, unlike his Momma at this age, very choosy about women, not so much in the looks department, but he wants someone sweet and shy , and the girls today think that is too old fashioned. He had a crush on this sweet Mennonite girl, and I would see her giving him a look too, I told him he would have to give up gaming and all that though, so, he is not ready, lol.
Oh honey bless your heart. There is no greater joy than raising a child alone and them turn out all good. I have told people that I would not take a million dollars for my daughter and the choices she has made in her life. My ex husband and I divorced when she was almost 8. Our marriage went south after we lost her identical twin sister to cancer at 3 years old. From then on it was just she and I. I poured my life and every penny I had into her. I prayed for God to keep her on the straight path. She has been such a blessing to me, she is an elementary school teacher with a beautiful family that has given me a wonderful son in law and a beautiful 2 yr old grandson that is my world. She has another boy on the way and I’m so excited. If God never blessed me with anything else in this life, I could never say a thing. Best part they are just two miles away. ❤️
I thought of something today and wondering your thoughts. It’s frustrating to get the sales prices at a grocery store you have to have a store card that’s entered every time you buy. Lowes has a store card supposedly so you don’t have to have receipts for returns. Target has the cartwheel coupons or whatever they are calling it now. Drug stores have store cards for coupons and rewards. Some gas stations have cards and that’s the only way you can get a discount. Don’t know why I didn’t think about this sooner. It’s a way to track what you buy and where you go. Like sheep everyone (including myself) didn’t question this because we want fifty cents off toilet paper. I hope one day every little detail of manipulation is exposed.
The purchase tracking is potentially more nefarious than that. If you become a target of the cabal, they can use smartphone spying and neighborhood surveillance to know when you’re leaving your house to go to the grocery store. They can send one of their operatives ahead of you to poison a product that you’re very likely the next person to buy. They have sophisticated poisons these days that are hard to detect in postmortem and cause common deaths like heart attacks. With all the dying suddenly happening lately, a murder can look like a bafflement and blend in.
It’s a win if you’re spending a lot on gas. I’ve let lots of points and rewards expire because I’ve cut back on spending. I agree about things on sale. I used to buy most of the meat on clearance. Harris Teeter used to put out clearance meat at 9 am & 3 pm. The only good sales I’m finding is shopping online for household cleaning supplies, decor and bedding. I shop Etsy a lot for natural body products and most stores had 10-20% off. Also if you leave something in your cart most stores send you a coupon.
We are battling principalities.
Lol, well said: "didn’t question this because we want fifty cents off toilet paper"🐸
I dust my lamps, if a Genie appeared it would frighten me. But since we are using our imaginations here, I would want Jesus Christ to show up, in the flesh, and set things right again, I would want healing powers, I would want to return everything to Eden, free of the 7 deadly sins.
Everyone to truly know Christ.
That'd solve everything else. 👍
Of course, before these wishes, I might ask for wish one to be to fully understand the logic system of Genie powers on a subatomic level and use that understanding to make my own miracles
