TREE HOUSE NEWS 🏡

Land of Whispering Pines 🌲

Good morning! May the Great Spirit bless you 🙏

I may not be sharing much news today because I thought this topic could be of critical value for someone. To give this topic at least an honest thought.

TODAY'S TOPIC:

Empathy & Indigo:

I began this argument back in 2000.

None of the following is or has ever been a scientifically proven fact to be addressed in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, used for the diagnosis of brain disorders. Psychiatric charts utilize a wide range of standardized descriptors to assess a patient's mental status, symptoms, and overall odd or different functioning than normal.

That's the problem with proving things that can only be felt within the person, "feeling it, then forming a mental image of the observed concept from what your imagination forms from the not just observed information, but also felt, like an octopus feeling the outside edges of its prey with its tentacles before squeezing. This process happens in the blink of an eye. Like the hero or heroin saving the child from getting run over by the bus, yes, an instinct, you don't have time to think, or twitch in your clothes, you have to react instantly. Don't worry about how? Not until it's already done.

Empaths:

Empaths are highly sensitive individuals who can deeply feel other people's emotions, are often intuitive and introverted, and become drained by crowds and intense environments. They have a strong connection to nature, which helps them recharge, and they are also deeply connected to animals.*My feelings are finally attuned to all the details in the natural world that many can't see or feel.

My Personal Experience:

I didn't even know there was a name for anything like what I felt, except for ESP, extra-sensory perception. And if you mentioned that word back in the day, everyone would have looked at you strangely, as if they were expecting antennas to grow out of the back of your head.

So I kept it to myself and ignored it. Of course, that's another normal Trumpo the Orange Clown's reaction; shut it off! Like he pulls out his Colt .45 and shoots the TV. "That will fix the fake news," he says as he walks away, blowing the smoke from his six-shooter. Big Man! Then he disappears in a puff of dust, stage left, behind the curtains to wank like a nasty little sadistic kid.

"The announcer on the TV, on its dying signal, says, ' That should do it for the news tonight, folks." The announcer coughed and held his chest as the signal faded out. Then, the TV sits in the corner, spread-eagled, its screen shattered, spiderweb-like, with a hole in the center. Expectantly, I continued to watch with hope to see the spider 🕷 come out with its six shooters a blazin', as the smoke drifts lazily upwards, revealing the form of... "Wow! It's Spider Woman!" 🕷 👩‍🎤 The crowd shouts as she stands, statuesquely like a bright beacon at the center of the ruins of her enemy, who lies defeated at her feet.

At the bottom of the screen hung a relatively large tongue, lying limp on the floor, and a little arm sticking out from the side, with a small sign that read, "Ya Gots Me Boss!" That's OK in cartoons. I doubt AI could follow me in cartoon land, like Johnny Depp does. ☠️ about as dangerous as a stubbed toe.😄

I didn't begin to understand what empathy was, even though it was only skin deep, until I sobered up on my 47th birthday. 33 years of sobriety this year. Those 33 years have been the most incredible journey of my entire life—learning who I am inside, and what makes me who I am.

Some people attract animals. Anyone has the potential to be the flower for the honey bee, but they don't seem interested in visiting that part of themselves. They fear it, or they simply don't have it. I had a friend who loved all animals. She cared for stray and feral dogs and cats, and whenever I visited her place, they would flock around me. She couldn't understand why, because she fed them! Most domestic animals don't appear uncertain or show fear,

Not even the wild ones, such as birds, squirrels, raccoons, and skunks, etc.

🦔 🐭 🐰 🐿 🦊 🐮 🐦 🦆 🦅 🦉 🦝 🦌 🦨

The same with insects, even the stinging ones, but they don't sting, they just visit.

🐝 🐛 🐞 🐜 🪰 🪲 🪳 🦟 🦗 🦋 🕷 🦂 🪱 👾

Same with reptiles, they stop to visit, flick their forked or long, sticky tongues at you, just to look at you, then move on their way.

Animals, insects, reptiles, we have a mutual understanding: I won't hurt you if you don't hurt me. 🙇‍♀️

After all, I'm an Entomology enthusiast.

You may have heard of the Term Indigo Children.

Surely you already know what empathy and empath is?

Could the traits of an empath and an indigo be simply a by-product of the other? The same, just in a different evolutionary stage

My own Observation on Empaths and Indigos:

Empaths and individuals with "indigo" traits share several similarities, primarily stemming from a high degree of sensitivity, intuition, and a strong awareness of energy and emotions. Many sources suggest that being an indigo often includes empathic qualities, creating a significant overlap in their characteristics... I can see where one could have borrowed from the other, and since the Indigo Children are relatively recent, there is nothing to prove scientifically except for parts of their traits having a similarity to those of the Empath.

Empathy:

In a general psychological context, empathy itself is a real phenomenon, and some research suggests that how empathetic a person is might be partly influenced by genetics (such as the OXTR gene, which is associated with the hormone oxytocin)

Indigo Child:

While many of the descriptions of "indigo children" include them being empathic, they are not the same concept. Empathy is a trait (which can be described as a spiritual "gift" in the New Age framework, or a psychological trait with a potential genetic component in a scientific one), while an "indigo child" is a specific identity within New Age beliefs, often associated with a mission to challenge existing systems.

BREAKING NEWS:

Jeff Bezos-funded Blue Origin aims for Mars in the first big test of its New Glenn rocket

Blue Origin, the rocket company founded by Amazon multibillionaire Jeff Bezos, is set for another attempt to launch its towering New Glenn rocket on a mission that will mark its first major test.

Carrying a pair of satellites that are destined to take a long, winding trip to Mars, New Glenn is scheduled to take flight from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station during a launch window that runs from 2:57 to 4:25 p.m. ET Thursday. Blue Origin is expected to host a livestream of the event about 20 minutes prior to takeoff...

A landmark Mars mission:

As in January, Blue Origin will once again attempt to recover New Glenn’s first-stage booster, which is the bottommost portion of the rocket that gives the vehicle its initial burst of power at liftoff, by aiming to land it on a seafaring barge called Jacklyn.
