Wow, I read through almost the entire thread and I'm slightly shaken and a bit rattled by what I've been reading. I've been wondering, to myself, where are all the people? I live in a huge city but there are few cars on the street.

I will admit that we have been cooped up in our house since March of 2020. My husband and I are 70ish and not in the best health. So, have not been going out much. We get our groceries delivered and order supplies online. It's becoming more and more surreal for me. There's this over-riding feeling that we are in an age of epochal change. I'm spiritual rather than denominational and I've been reading a lot during the last 18 months about transitioning to the 4th and 5th dimensions. And, I've had a few odd experiences that seemed other-worldly to me.

So, I'm trying to decide: Where are the people?
What the hell is going to finally happen?
Are we stuck in our own Groundhog Day movie?
Are we ascending? Or am I just getting old and senile (and I don't discount that). These last few years have been the strangest years of my life (which includes the 50s, 60s, and 70s).
We all create our own reality. Your idea of reality and mine might differ. But, there sure seems to be something almost weirdly epochal about these years, months, and days.

Sorry to have spouted off all my nonsensical questions but this thread really struck a chord with the me of 2021 who is trying to find balance and peace.
