Indeed Master Arigorn . The Chaos theory .. The gentle flapping of a Butterfly leads to a tornado in some far of country four days later. Harmony is interrupted by events and actions of others who you have no connection with you but you end up being consumed in it in some form or another. EG A man is killed by a Policeman in the USA days later our monuments are being obliterated with graffiti, The Cenotaph in London being one of them so I end up being linked to it via a Veterans group /"

It is true all things happen for a reson, tho that reson may not be evident at the time. To be fair some of what lead to this would best be not there , but it was and has passed for that person who is in a good place now.

Reading thro' Amara san Journal and found this post by Master Octagon from 2018

Just a general note. A healthy immune system is usually able to repel the flu. There are things that weaken the immune system. Mostly processed sugars. The popular thought is that colds and flu are things people have no control over but research suggests otherwise.

That said, I trust everyone will recover quickly, all the best

This is all you need to be ahead of this Covid19. If you look after your body, your immune system will in turn look after you.

Mine has been tho the mill since 1975 lol and I am still here batterd phisically and mentally but internally it is not to bad. I take no medication even tho' I am told I should , use tens machine for pain and feel ok

Took this from a friend of mine Quite relevant as there is so much information being spread all other the world and most of it very confusing, misleading and in some cases completely fake.Every one has an opinion based on what they think they know to be true which is fine, However who is to know that information that individual has is accurate. I've altered a few words so it fits in with Jediism but actually it did anyway :)

Jedi Martial artists ; some thoughts on the situation.

There are two main fears prevalent at the moment; the Covid 19 virus and the attacks on our civil rights from various directions. Both are real, both are valid, and both do need defending against. Having said that, rampant fear and panic solves nothing, it makes matters worse. So the problem lies in determining how much of a threat each is and and reacting accordingly rather than out of panic.
Many folk are so freaked out by the mainstream media's fear drenched coverage of the virus (and I don't blame them), that the ongoing threats to our democracy are going largely unnoticed. Times of crisis are the optimal times for politicians, religions, big business and other unscrupulous players, to force changes that the public won't normally tolerate.
Fear soaked populations are very susceptible to manipulation, and there are fortunes to be made at the moment, both in terms of money and power.
In addition, long-term fear in an individual is highly destructive to health, both mental and physical and to all of their relationships. It can easily become a neurosis and is then very difficult to overcome. Look at the response from many people about opening our society again, they are terrified of dropping the lock-down, exhibiting a lot of anger at those who know we need to normalise this situation - which is rooted in that fear. This prevents clarity of thinking about anything else and is also highly contagious. Nothing spreads faster than fear.

Getting to the relevant part; martial artists deal in overcoming and controlling our fears every day, every lesson. It's part and parcel of being a Jedi ( the martial arts), we are experts in this. So we should be in a position of having more self-control over our fears than most others. That being the case, it's therefore part of our responsibility as trained human beings to calm down a still panicking population with our example. It's also the responsibility of cooler heads to keep a check on the background whilst the others are scared and focusing exclusively on the foreground. It's no use confronting scared people with logic, they can't hear you. So all we can really do is to put out positive thoughts/feelings/actions/posts etc, helping that fear to subside through example, until the rest of society are back on-line (metaphorically),and thinking for themselves from a non-adrenalised base. Then we can all get back to dealing with more serious but less direct problems.
Some practical things we can do so that we don't get caught up in fear ourselves are; Stop watching The News 24/7 so that you don't soak up more anxiety yourself (we can check the current situation in 2 minutes of headlines every 3 days), we don't need the in-depth scaremongering in our heads; Stretch and breathe a lot to induce endorphin release and calm yourself. If you know how to, meditate.

Try not to feed into other peoples' fears, online or in person - saying nothing is better than getting into endless fear fuelled arguments that you won't win.

My military brain tells me this is a rather well executed Terrorist attack not on a localised target which is the norm but a globat attach which is putting unpresedent stess on every country effected.This Virus isn't as dangerous as the common Flu . it is just highly contagious and more of an incompacitant as generally healthy people recover. there is so much fake news and information going around and lots of maybes mightbes etc nothing really definate. UK as per usual a lot of hot air in speach but nothing of any use lol
