Last weekend I was at my favorite watering hole and one of the ladies who work there had just recovered from the Rona. She ended up losing 30 lbs (13kg or so) while sick. I made the offhanded comment that if I could lose 30 lbs I wouldn't mind getting sick.

48 hours later I started running a fever and have had one for 3 days now. It has not been pleasant.

So take this as you will. Be careful what you wish for, it might just come true.

I agree. The crux is that events that seem harmful will still be attracted to the self if those experiences are desired at some level. It may seem strange that we desire sickness and pain, but this is catalyst to help us learn what we are here to learn. Even when remaining is positive thought and action if the deeper self desires chaos, pain, and sickness to temper the spirit, those experiences will manifest.

Thank you for the concern. I will strive to not believe in sickness as well. At the very least I have attempted to learn from it.

Thus your 'joking remark' has nothing to do with it thus don't worry about it.
Yet your overall mood and fitness condition have a lot more to do with it, as it correlates with your anti-body capabilities.

To recover, think that you have recovered.
If you're into meditation, focus on the anahata / heart chakra using any technique that is most comfortable for you.
Cleansing your nose using Natrium Chloride (NaCL) will also help, especially to people around you as preventive measure. As it will cleanse the nose from any attached pathogen (viruses or bacteria)

I will not wish you well because I do think you are well now.

I do see the humor in it.

This sort of thing happens to me all the time in another way. An example: Some years ago my partner and I were driving home, and I mentioned that as long as I'd lived in the desert I had never seen a Gila Monster (they spend 90-95% of their lives underground). The next morning, I opened the French door in the bedroom and a Gila Monster was on the step outside it. Then, yesterday a neighbor was looking for her lost cat, and I talked to her. She asked if I'd seen any Gila Monsters this year. I said I hadn't seen any in 2 or 3 years. That afternoon I walked into the backyard and there was a Gila Monster.

I think we are all connected to everything—some things more than others, and I don't mean that in a vague and unknowable way under the veil. I mean this: A cube can represent a thing or system in the 3D world. A tesseract, or hypercube, can represent the same thing in the 4D world. If you look at a tesseract, it appears to be 8 cubes all inside each other for lack of a better description. Notice the vertices and the lines between them.

Now imagine your life as the cube in 3D. A larger view of your totality is also in 4D, represented by the tesseract, and more dimensions (11 according to String Theory). So there are connections outside of 3D that we aren't aware of. You and the person you were thinking of may be easily seen to be connected in 4D, but in 3D, results of that connection appear as coincidences, when from the perspective of 4D it's totally ordinary.

This is an extrapolation I have made based in part from reading the thought experiment, Flatland.

Yes definitely, and I do think I do have 'the virus' (and many other type of viruses or bacteria) inside me.
And I do often make 'joking remarks' similar as what Dtris did.

My partner contracted with covid, and with symptom, but I didn't.
I do often make remarks such as "it seems the virus sees my body as 'not hot enough' since I don't have six packs'.
And yes the best 'medicine' is just joke about it, it will lift the mood thus increase the immunity.
As low frequency type of emotions such as fear, distress, panic, blaming, judging will decrease the immunity.

PS: Glad you are well Dtris

It really is your intent in saying these things that makes all the difference. If you say it with humor just to lighten the mood, I don't think it would call anything untoward.

Dtris, was there an edge when you said it?

I still want to know Dtris - did you let people you'd been around know? And did/do you have covid? The Delta strain is highly contagious - to not let people around you know is not fair or responsible.

(IMO there are larger 'systems' ALSO in operation... ie: going into a covid ward without a mask/face shield on - you will find that (almost) no amount of prophylactic visualising of not contacting covid - will work. You will contract covid.
Would you advocate for an HIV positive person not to let their sexual partners know their HIV status?)

Actually, the real thing I want to say is this.  Now that you feel your wishes and your outcomes have some fair degree of alignment, perhaps you can now more effectively use this in the affirmative, rather than for accidentally negative outcomes?  Maybe you could now become a saint and be a deep source of love and healing for those around, for example?  I don't know what your spiritual ambitions are, but maybe this experience will help propel you in those directions?  But please remember, do be careful what you wish for.

Rumors of my demise have been much exaggerated.

I don't know if I will ever be a saint, but hopefully I can align my reality in a way that spreads love and light even a little bit. I also doubt this lesson will be forgotten anytime soon.

As to weight lose, I have certainly lost a lot, won't know how much until I get somewhere with a scale though.

Quote:What is the purpose of emotion? The purpose of emotion within third density is so to engage the mind, the heart, and the soul of the entity which seeks that it becomes more and more aware of the depth and breadth of each present moment and possibilities for loving within each moment. Needless to say, we do not speak of the clinging, dependent love. We do not suggest that the surrender to the higher self be made before the self has been tuned so as to hear the true voice from within. Many are those who would whisper in the ear of one who seeks to be of service. Discrimination remains important always, and this includes those things which we say to you. Let us not be a stumbling block before you.
 

Now let us look at the way emotion is deepened. Each of you is aware of the system of chakras, or energy centers within the being. It is understood that each needs to be minimally clear and balanced for the full energy of the one infinite Creator, the life force, the prana, if you will, to move upwards within the body to meet that inspiration which comes from the infinite One, from the comforter, from your guidance, from your inner self. Over and over again we suggest to you the daily meditation for the clearing of cobwebs from the mind and the heart, of picking up the old newspapers, the leftover takeout food, the banal junk of a banal society that is intent upon not listening to any voice within which might cause discomfort.
 
The universe itself is an emotion, it is consciousness, it is love. Each of you will go through many definitions of the word love as you experience various facets of conditional and unconditional love. Your goal, and it is a difficult one within this density, is so to use the deep wisdom of the intuition and choice-making nature of the intellect in harmony to move in the direction that you and the Creator have set for yourself this day. And in that regard we would say that it is not well to create in the mind that which one desires, unless one is absolutely sure that one desires it and will never regret having it, for any desire that is unmet in third density must be met before the entity may move forward to the next level of classes, the next level of illumination, the next level of peace and joy.

I just had this thought in my mind - how about contacting this virus or whatever it is that afflicted you? talk to it and ask what kind of an entity it is and what it has to tell you.
