Well, if you insist.

There's something to be said for applying a metaphysical lens to the situations we are currently dealing with. By which I mean, a recognition of some of the larger dynamics of energy and how we humans, the created world, including the spiritual dimensions, exist and operate.

Throughout the created world, there is a constant principle of reciprocal give and receive action operating between complementary opposites. Examples include mind (invisible) and body (visible), natural law (i.e.e physics) (invisible) and the material world (visible). These complementary opposites relate as cause and effect.

Another set of complementary opposites is seen in male (initiating) and female (responding), in the human, animal, and plant kingdoms. Positive charge and negative charge in the molecular and subatomic levels.

Everywhere, things interact as either one of these complementary opposites: cause or effect, initiating party or responding party. Together, they form relationships and create the next level of existence. Male and female unite to reproduce (generally speaking), thus creating offspring and creating a family or lineage, in the case of humans forming clans, then ethically bound groups, then societies, nations, etc. + particles interact with - particles to form quarks, etc, then particles like protons, electrons, then molecules, then actual structures like rocks, or the tissues that underlie biological life.

Point is, the interaction between complementary opposites is fundamental to the existence of the created world. This interaction also manifests in energy and its impacts. Undulating landscapes (up + down), waves in the ocean or in any body of water or other liquids and gasses (rise + fall).

As we move forward in the process that humanity is in, aka awakening towards an unprecedented awareness and understanding of who we are, what our real purpose is, and what we are destined for, there are ups and downs in the energy, which includes emotional energetic dynamics. As individuals, if we are alive, we'll naturally experience ups and downs, rises and falls, as part of the process of life but ideally also in the process of moving forward, which in terms of a dynamic of moving from ignorance and slavery towards knowledge, awareness and freedom, we might conceive as an upward movement.

So think of a wave like a light wave or sound wave, but directed upwards at an angle of 35 degrees, for example. Individually, and also collectively, (whether as a board collective, a movement collective, a social collective, or a national and super-national collective (human race), we'll will naturally experience ups and downs in emotional state (feeling), intellectual state (thinking), even in motivational state (intending), AS WE MOVE FORWARD.

In the realm of effect, this may be observed, and many intermediate causes might be postulated, based on the evidence at hand. Eg. More doomers or uplifting pedes on the board, more fear or hope in the general population, etc. But in the realm of cause, these tie back to the great war being waged in the spirit as the forces of good, light, truth (Godly forces) battle with the forces of evil, darkness, lies (satanic or Evil forces). The invisible causes manifest in the visible surface world via many, multiples avenues.

Our capacity to process and digest fluctuations is directly tied to our spiritual (ie.e emotional, intellectual and volitional) development and growth. The more we grow, the stronger our capacity to receive or be hit by fluctuations (ups and downs) without being traumatized, distressed or undermined by them.

Hey, you're the one who referenced sticking to the mission and nonsensical ruminations!!!

And personally, I consider ruminations, nonsensical or otherwise, to be part of the mission! Well, at least My mission!

Peace and love, fren.

Note: "tension" occurs when there is an energetic field generated between interactive opposites. Eg. Lightening occurs when the energetic field or tension between + charges and - charges in the atmosphere reach breaking point.

If you or I or anyone is feeling "the tension", it's an indicator that the field between and formed by the interactive opposites is highly charged and full of energy. As receptive and responsive beings, we might feel that energetic tension i.e. a strong field of truth clashing with a strong field of lies, and experience correlated feelings ourselves, even if they do not originate in us. After all, if you are tuned in to some extent to "the collective", you should be respondent to that.

Note 2: Complementary opposites are a feature of God's created world, but this principle does NOT apply to good and evil. Good and evil are NOT complementary opposites. Rather, evil is a distortion wherein certain beings attempted a coup to overthrow the universal PLUS (God, our creator) and replace him with themselves as a fake, false PLUS.

We overthrow evil by uniting with the TRUE plus, thus becoming plusses in our own capacity. History is the tragic history of the false PLUS ruling over and dominating the world and humanity, starting from the Fall of the first ancestors, as described (partially in symbol) in scripture.

In case you were wondering. :D
