Immobilized

/ Lauri Ann Lumby / 2 Comments

Exploring Healer Fatigue and Empath Paralysis

Since February 28, 2026, when the US and Israel launched their war against Iran, I have found myself immobile – unable to accomplish anything other than what is absolutely essential. Somedays, even the essentials are left on the sidelines. It’s not that I’m fixated on the war, perseverating over what is happening along with the possible outcomes, or even actively worried.

Being made immobile is just another symptom of being an empath and a healer.

I can’t help it. Even when I tell myself, “I’m accomplishing this today,” I find I cannot. I can’t say that I’m depressed or even anxious. Instead, I am simply aware that as humanity is trying to destroy itself, my BEING is actively working on behalf of this suicidal species.

All the oil in the world is not worth the wholesale destruction of a nation – especially as the US and Israel are actively destroying the very oil they say they are after. I call foul! We know this war isn’t about oil. Neither is it about Iran’s “oppressive” regime. The ones truly in need of regime change are those who shot the first shot. I digress…

My point is that if you are an empath, a healer, a lightworker, you may also be finding yourself immobilized – Unable to do – only allowed to BE.

As much as I want to deny or ignore the “whoo whoo” that would even suggest such a thing could be possible, I am increasingly finding it is the only thing that truly makes sense. As a practical, hard-working, first-born Capricorn, I have taken great pride in my ability to be productive – to get things done, and to be somewhat in control of my fate. All these points of pride have flown out the window the closer we come to human extinction.

Instead:

I have had to become excruciatingly comfortable with doing nothing, while believing in the invisible magic of simply being. With zero tangible evidence, I have had to rely on the faith that all this doing of nothing is amounting to something. I have had to force myself to trust that while it may appear as if I’m unproductive, I am being used for some higher purpose. Without knowing what I’m doing, how it’s being done, or what the impact may or may not be, I have had to believe that all will be well – especially when every material example says otherwise. Because no matter the amount of effort or thought I put into DOING – every effort has failed.

These are the days I wish someone would wave a magic wand and I would simply and confidently believe that as I am immobilized, a higher purpose is being fulfilled. My intention has always been to be a vessel through which Love can be made real in our world, and my prayer has been, “I am the servant of the Lord Love. Let it be done to me according to your word.” Perhaps this is my prayer being answered.

While Humanity Sorts Itself Out

/ Lauri Ann Lumby / 1 Comment

It is bizarre and surreal to stand back watching humanity attempting to destroy itself while having literally nothing to do. By nothing, I mean nothing. Between my own business which has had little to no activity in the past several months, and the snowstorm of the century, I’ve been immobilized. Usually, I’m ok with having nothing to do, especially knowing that even before the storms, many of us had already been sequestered. But knowing we’ve been sequestered and experiencing sequestering are two different things.

The future of humanity is literally out of our hands.

So now we watch in rapt attention to the heaving death rattle of the empire – each action more dramatically ridiculous than the one prior – and shake our heads in bewilderment. Will humanity never learn?

Power built on fear will always destroy itself.

So we stand back and watch in horror as humanity sorts itself out. Will it continue to choose war to sort out its need for domination or to decide conflicts and will these wars lead to the eventual wholesale destruction of humanity? Time will tell.

In the meantime, we wait.

In this waiting, I now understand the meaning of those who have called the human experience a simulation. When observed from a place of sequestering, it feels like watching children experimenting with different ways to play together, trying to figure out the dynamics of being human, while getting their undeveloped needs met, disintegrating in a tantrum when not getting ones way, and then coming back around with a new set of tactics. What happens if I act like a bully? What if I ask nicely? What if I offer a compliment or praise? Will sucking up work? None of this? Ok, then I’ll drop a b*mb.

All of this would be unnerving if we hadn’t seen it all before. The same game played over and over and over as humanity tries to figure their shit out. Do you think they know there is a history of how all of these efforts have previously failed and that there is a guide (several actually) for how to make and enjoy peace in our world? If they continue at this rate, the world may never know.

Sequestered

/ Lauri Ann Lumby / Leave a comment

We’ve done our work –

all we were meant to do.

We’ve delivered our message of Love.

Issued invitations.

Planted seeds.

Sowed the remedies

for healing the wounds of division

            and returning ourselves to Love.

We’ve done this for ourselves.

We’ve done this for the world.

Our work is now complete as we step back and wait.

Held in the container of protection and love…

            we continue to make for ourselves…

                        and for all who would join us.

Waiting to see what humanity will choose –

            It’s out of our hands and into theirs.

Will they choose Love

            or condemn themselves to another eternity of hatred and fear?

  • Shining a light on deception, disparity and injustice.
  • A life devoted to mindful presence.
  • Equipping and empowering loving presence and action in myself and others by healing the wounds that imprison us in fear.

Power, Safety, and Feminine Rage

/ Lauri Ann Lumby / 4 Comments

Warning: this promises to be a rambling and meandering journey of words through a dark and tangled forest of thorns.

This morning, I found myself unable to tend to my daily practice of meditation and prayer because instead of finding calm, I discovered only rage – the kind of rage that makes me want to tear down walls and burn things to the ground. Not being an outwardly violent person, I ran circles in my mind instead.

  • What is this rage?
  • Where is it coming from?
  • What is its source?
  • How do I need to respond to it?
  • What, if anything can I do about what is filling me with blind rage?
  • What can I do to calm the fire?

The really difficult answer that came through this tangled mess of questions was this:

THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING I CAN DO.

This then, just made me more angry. But isn’t this typical? Isn’t this familiar? The deep well of (feminine) rage (not only women feel this kind of rage) over all the things happening to us and in our world over which we have absolutely no control.

The list of things over which we have no power seems endless. If you are reading this, I invite to take a moment and reflect on everything you see happening around you, along with the things you have experienced in your own life that have made you feel powerless. How does that powerlessness make you feel? If it’s rage, you are not alone.

RAGE RAGE RAGE RAGE RAGE

Let’s talk a little about that rage. This rage could be a face of grief.  If grief, the rage you’re feeling may be showing up as sorrow, depression, or paralysis. This rage could also be a response to injustice – what I call righteous anger. It could also be rage as a kind of acknowledgement of a need you have that is not being met. Or, as is most likely the case, the rage you feel is all of these:

Grief     Righteous Anger     Needs not being met

Today as I sit with my own person/collective rage, I am aware that it really boils down to one single thing:

SAFETY

As I examine all of the things in the past several days that have triggered me into feeling this rage, I realize it is because either the situation itself, or what the situation reminds me of, makes me feel unsafe. I’m also aware that the instinctual responses to feeling unsafe: fight, flight, freeze, are not available because I have experienced in my life that I have no power to change or correct the situations that make me feel unsafe. Instead, I feel like a tiger in a cage, restlessly pacing and seeking after a way out where there is none.

I believe this is how many of us are feeling. I’m also aware of the privilege I have and that my feelings of imprisonment are NOTHING compared to what others are currently experiencing on this planet. That being said, this privilege makes our rage no less real – and valid.

Now the personal part – I’m really sick of feeling unsafe in this world. I don’t want to play the “man card,” but the reality is that in nearly every situation where I have felt this kind of rage – it was because of something being done by or ignored by, a man. If it wasn’t a man, it was done by a woman complicit in the patriarchal system.

So I guess I can’t say men are the problem –

but the patriarchal system in which many are still entrenched IS the problem.

Let me provide a couple examples that everyone will be able to understand and relate to:

  • Women and children reporting rape and immediately disbelieved, or made to prove the crime (ending up being further victimized in the process).
  • MEN creating wars, destroying the world, killing millions of people for no other reason than their own inability to….. well….. that list is also endless. (communicate, share, have compassion, listen so as to understand…..)

I’m sick of it. I’m sick of all of it, including (but not limited to):

  • Men making bullying and demeaning statements in person and on social media.
  • Men dismissing women’s experiences.
  • Men sexualizing women (and children) ALL OF THE TIME. (alternatively, women sexualizing men)
  • Men dismissing or ignoring wisdom, knowledge, or expertise that is shared by a woman.
  • Women complying with the patriarchal (and pedophile) standards of “beauty” (including the recent starvation craze) and men being ok with it.
  • Women jealously defending their place in the patriarchal system.

It’s all so gross. And in the last 24 hours I was reminded of this is some deeply personal ways. One of which related to my past ecclesial abuse and some recent “strides toward inclusion of women” made by Pope Leo.

You know what, F the institution that continues to perpetrate their culture of clericalism that is at the heart of every single thing wrong with the Catholic Church. Throwing women a bone by saying the Church is planning to invite women into more positions of power (advisory only……) is to me more of an insult than a sign of forward movement. Until the system of clericalism is addressed, there will be no equity in the Church ever! As I learned from personal experience, the Church is only there to protect their own power. When I was being harassed and bullied by the local self-appointed inquisition, the Church did nothing to defend or protect me, instead it became one of my abusers.

The same is true of the patriarchy and all those complicit in the system. They are NOT here to keep us safe. They are not here to protect us. Instead, there are only concerned with protecting their own power – no matter the cost to any other human being. And this protection is done in all the obvious and insidiously subtle ways about which we are all excruciatingly familiar.

NO WONDER WE ARE SO DAMNED ANGRY!

Reflecting on this rage has made me aware that while the question of power is part of it, it is so much more a matter of safety.  And I’m really f’ing tired of feeling unsafe in a system that really doesn’t give a damn about anyone but itself – and even more angry that there doesn’t seem to be a damn thing I can do about it. Until patriarchy is overthrown, this, it seems, is our fate. And that just makes me f’ing mad!

Who is the Real Enemy?

/ Lauri Ann Lumby / Leave a comment

The unfolding revelation

If I could condense the last ten years into a single statement of purpose, it would be this:

To make us see the true enemy.

Are you seeing it yet?

Hint: it may not be what you think.

In 2016 (likely LONG before that), certain powers stepped in, thinking that they would wrest power, control, and ludicrous wealth from, not only the American people, but the entire world. They have succeeded in this – disgustingly so. But at the same time, they have been showing us, if not who they are, WHAT they are:

PURE UNADULTERATED EVIL

I do not use this term lightly. There are truly no other words in our language that accurately describe those who would gladly sacrifice human lives and the planet for the sake of their own self-interest.

Initially, we may not have seen or understood the true intentions hidden behind the actions of those who have been tasked with carrying out Evil’s intention. By increasing frequency, however, they are showing us the hidden agenda behind what we might now identify as distractions.

To see this hidden agenda, and its true source (which I will call the enemy), we must have eyes willing to see and the courage to endure the disruption to our status quo.

The enemy’s purpose is to disturb, disrupt, and distract, and it does so by sowing division.

When we believe each other is the enemy, the true enemy succeeds in its mission. As we have been busy pointing the finger of blame at each other, the enemy is getting away with murder – and r*pe, abuse, and theft. In the accomplishment of their evil purpose, they have destroyed our planet, stolen the innocence of children, and taken the lives of millions of human beings.

The work of the enemy serves only themselves, but as they’ve been busy stealing our livelihood and peace from us, they have successfully cast us in a war between ourselves.  “Pay no attention to the evil men behind the curtain – it’s your neighbor who is the enemy.”

We’ve been pitted against each other, but as time has marched on, increasing numbers of us are beginning to see the ruse. And with each new “crisis” created by the enemy, and propagated by their minions, we are being given another opportunity to see the truth behind the distraction:

  • Assassinations and assassination attempts.
  • Foreign wars.
  • Random military actions.
  • Tariffs.
  • Gas prices.
  • Eggs.
  • Toilet paper.
  • Epstein (both a distraction AND a big fat arrow pointing at the stronghold of evil).
  • Renaming buildings.
  • Building ballrooms.
  • Threatening the take-over of foreign nations.
  • Spreading falsehoods about nuclear weapons.

Etc. etc. etc.  With each of these actions, we are thrown into a panic, and our resilience is tested.

The enemy wants us to be afraid. They want us to be preoccupied by each successive “crisis.”
Panic clouds our ability to reason, discern truth from fiction, and see our world clearly. When we remain in a state blinded by fear, we are easier to manipulate. Look how easily we fell into hating each other during the pandemic when the true enemy was never ourselves, it was always those who benefitted from a world in fear.

To quote the Bene Gesserit sisterhood, “Fear is the mind-killer.” The enemy knows this and has been using fear as a weapon against us. But as the sisterhood taught, we have a choice about how we respond to that fear. We decide if we allow fear to be used against us, or if we, instead, find our way through it – to the truth.

The lesson that the last ten years has been trying to teach us is how to see the truth behind the chaos and confusion.  It is not the surface things that are our enemy, it is the EVIL that lies beneath it. As more and more of us are seeing the truth beyond the illusion, EVIL is losing its power.

This then, is your practice. WHEN a new crisis is paraded before you and you feel the tentacles of fear creeping up your back, STOP. Acknowledge the fear. Name it. Then ask yourself, “who benefits from me being afraid (or caught up in the chaos)?” An easy hint: follow the money. Then SEE the evil for what it is. If the who presents itself, see that too. Then STOP again. Don’t give your power to that evil. Instead, find the peace within. It is in this peace that your power resides.

A short cut for the current “war” against Iran. This war has nothing to do with a nation wanting to free Iran of its oppressive leaders. Instead, it has everything to do with money – money made by stockholders through the industry of war, and money that promises to be made from Iranian oil. Included in this is a certain nation’s gluttonous desire for land and power which further supports the intentions of evil.

Political crises are rarely what they seem.

We’re the Ones We’ve Been Waiting for

/ Lauri Ann Lumby / Leave a comment

As I write this, American and Israeli troops, under the direction of their respective “leaders,” have waged war against Iran. My heart and my prayers go out to the innocent and for all who will come into harm’s way in this unjustified (IMO) attack.

The world has gone mad, and I am the first one who will willingly board the Mothership when she comes to take us all home. Unfortunately, this desire to be rescued by otherworldly beings is more than likely a fairytale we tell ourselves as we struggle to make sense of the insanity of this world and find some shred of comfort in a time where there is none (or seems to be none).

It’s the same compulsion that drives fantasies of the rapture or the physical “second-coming.”

It’s also the same delusion that has us believing (wishing, hoping, dreaming, pleading) that our elected officials have anyone else’s interest in mind but their own.

Salvation does not come from those indentured to the system – EVER. It can only come from those who are already free. As such, the hard reality is that no one is coming to save us because we are already here.

WE are the ones who are called to speak truth to power, call out the evil in our midst, and stand up against terror and injustice.

We are called to do this, each, in our own unique way, according to our individual gifts and calling. THIS is what the system wants us to forget and what the system has spent lifetimes beating out of us. In a system which seeks only power and control, there is no room for individual gifts or the empowerment of those gifts. As such, everything within the system is designed to keep us from our gifts and from the fruits that they will bring. In place of our gifts, we are trained to be obedient workers in a system that makes us poor and a very small minority exceedingly rich, while being convinced that obedience to this system is what makes us free. HAH!  The biggest lie of all. 

The reality is that as long as we are obedient to the system, allowing its conditioning to rule us, we will never be free. Instead, we lie back waiting for the Mothership or Congress to show up and do their damn jobs.

No one is coming to save us but ourselves. This is what we’ve been made for and why we find ourselves here during this time in human history. We are here to save ourselves, and this salvation begins right here, right now, within each and every one of us as we begin the processes of 1) unraveling from the system and 2) coming to know the truth of who we are outside of society’s chains.

We are here and we are the ones here to save us. How are you responding to that call?

Slaying the Demons of Conditioning

/ Lauri Ann Lumby / Leave a comment

Conditioning is made up of the rules we were told we must obey, lest we suffer dire consequences. Conditioning also consists of the behaviors we have adopted under the false pretense that if we do, we will be loved, valued, and successful. Conditioning NEVER comes from within us but is always imposed upon us by some outside perceived (often self-appointed) authority.

The hierarchical, patriarchal world that is currently going up in flames obtains its power through conditioning – what might also be called manipulation – a seemingly endless list of rules accompanied by the punishment one will receive for defying those rules.

Non-loving conditioning keeps us imprisoned by the system, but what the system doesn’t know is that as increasing numbers of us turn away from this conditioning, the system will lose its power, disintegrate into dust, and then we will be authentically free. We will be free to live the life the vast majority of us crave – one built on love for ourselves, one another, and the world.

Slaying the demons of conditioning begins by naming the demons – identifying them and their place in our lives. As you read through the following list, identify which of these demons you have been subject to, the role it has played in your life, and what of it still remains. As you are reading, also allow for other demons of conditioning to arise in your consciousness:

  • The demon that has told us that men are of greater value than women.
  • The demon that treats women and children solely as property.
  • The demon that values white people of European descent over people of color.
  • The demon that tells us straight is good and gay is bad.
  • The demon that trained us to be obedient to an external authority.
  • The demon that trained us to believe we cannot know our own truth, but must find it outside of us.
  • The demon that defines masculinity and femininity.
  • The demon that speaks solely in binaries.
  • The demon that taught us that humans are to have dominion over nature and that by virtue of that dominion, we have the right to take what we want in whatever way we want to without regard for the health of our planet.
  • The demon that tells us who we belong to and what the rules are for that belonging. (ie: As one raised Catholic, I was conditioned to seek belonging from my community and to follow the rules that would insure that belonging).
  • The demon that sets beauty standards for women and men, judging anything outside of those standards as unworthy.
  • The Capitalistic demon that defines success based only on money, power, fame, and accumulation.
  • The same Capitalistic demon that dictates the methods for acquiring that “success” through hard work alone (ie hard work alone will make you successful).
  • The demon that evaluates intelligence based solely on IQ or academic grades.
  • The demon that created hierarchical obedience.
  • The demon that told us to feel shame when bad things are being done to us, and to feel even more ashamed for reporting those bad things.
  • The demons that use media and advertising to manipulate us through our insecurities to act in the way they want us to act (ie. Believing their lies, buying their products).

In short – conditioning is all based on lies – lies that favor those in power, making the rest of us subservient to them. If we want to be free of this manipulation, we need to slay the demons of conditioning.

Slaying these demons begins with identification and is finished by simply saying NO.

Name the demon that has had influence over you and then simply say NO to it. Refuse to give that demon heed. Just say no – again, and again, and again, until that demon is once and for all silenced.

And if saying no isn’t enough, then please reach out for additional support. There are simple and practical tools for freeing ourselves of the demons of conditioning, we just need to learn them and practice them.

State of the Union

/ Lauri Ann Lumby / Leave a comment

Whereas there is a sense of vindication in witnessing all that I have been foreseeing come to pass, I find it all deeply and profoundly sad. I would rather have been proven wrong than to have to bear witness to the wholesale destruction of a nation – one that threatens to bring the rest of the world with it.

The United States is terminally ill. Whether this is the result of a faulty foundation, or more recent corruption, no longer matters. It is simply dying.  In that dying, it is threatening all that many of us once held dear, or rather, it is revealing the illusions to which we have been clinging.

Our nation has never been truly free. The talking point with which we are repeatedly being pummeled, of the DOW Jones reaching 50,000, only proves this fact. From the beginning, and always, it has only been a select few who have truly been free – a freedom purchased with the wealth that gives them the perception of power.

That power, however, is now consuming itself. It is showing itself for who it truly is – Pure Unadulterated Evil.

PLEASE PAY ATTENTION TO THE MEN BEHIND THE CURTAIN!!!!!

Whether it be the puppets or the puppet masters, the true evil that runs, not only our nation but the world, is being unmasked. When a so-called world leader speaks nothing but lies on internationally broadcast television for 108 minutes, we can be certain of the lies upon which this nation and much of the world currently exists.

Yes, it is all a sham. And yet, it is still deeply and profoundly sad. Today, as I sit in the aftermath of recent performances, beyond the horror, disgust, and confusion, lies an inconsolable sorrow, and with that, a question. When the collapse is finally complete, will there be anything left of this nation, and how will those remaining ever recover?

Today, I sit in prayer for a release from this madness and for the healing of our nation and the world – believing truly that Love inevitably conquers evil. If you feel so-called, please join me in this prayer.
