The Corrupt World Behind the Murdaugh Murders | The New Yorker

Sadly I know of this world and corruption . Not all men are strong enough to pull a trigger, preferring other ways ….

Privilege, being catered too, and getting out of every situation that adds to lack of personal responsibility ..being an conscious human being .

James Lasdun reports from South Carolina on the trial of Alex Murdaugh, who is accused of killing his wife, Maggie, and son Paul, along with crimes including fraud.

When a soul leaves it’s body

WHEN A SOUL LEAVES ITS BODY.

When a soul leaves its biological body, there is an expansion of consciousness, a feeling of immense peace and liberation.

Souls never leave alone, no one dies alone, they are generally accompanied by relatives who left before and who come to accompany them.

Also spiritual guides are present to reassure them and accompany them on their journey.

Sometimes they are taken to places of recovery, especially if they suffered an immediate death or a long and exhausting illness.
Or if you had a difficult life.

The person who leaves his body receives and welcomes our thoughts of gratitude for his life.

We can always help you with our calming words and thoughts to avoid your worry or attachment to this plane.

The soul says goodbye once it feels and perceives that its relatives are calmer. They usually become present in your energy body through dreams.

What a person needs the most when leaving their physiological base is to feel and know that we are going to be fine.

The greatest gift that we can offer a person when leaving their body is our own Peace and Loving Energy.

In honor for all the souls that are experiencing their transit or transition.
Love and Respect for all those who are saying goodbye to a loved one.

Ed Ised – Totally agree on the Perdue RX , Valium & more

Last week the Supreme Court blocked a $6 billion bankruptcy settlement by Purdue Pharma that would protect its Sackler family owners from civil lawsuits related to opioid abuse. The history of Purdue and the harm caused by their greed should be a warning that guaranteed health insurance in the U.S. is dangerous without addressing the hazards of psychiatry and the broadening of law enforcement through mandatory treatment.

It’s impossible for a physician to respect their oath to do no harm in an environment of Capitalism and the dominant pharmaceutical industry. In such an environment, treatment will never be the result of research seeking what’s best for the person treated. All drugs, without exception, are primarily physiological, and some, due to potency, are able to more directly affect the brain, which is different from the mind/spirit/psyche.

Before the Sacklers advertised products that targeted pain in modern ways, they taught the medical world that benzodiazepines, specifically Valium, solved many problems otherwise related to different disorders. The revolution was based on the concept of psychic tension. There have been similar campaigns promoting the use of psychedelics (cycling again in 2023) and serotonin reuptake, but at the core, this is academic gibberish.

These psychiatrists, the Sacklers, used similar techniques as those involved with the Valium campaign to initiate what is now referred to as the national opioid crisis. Drugs to address pain the way their product does are prescribed based on a pain scale from 0 to 10. A score of 0 means no pain, and 10 means the worst pain. If you, for example, receive a punch card from Subway for the number of sandwiches purchased from their store, a six is identical to a neighbor’s card with the same number. However, two people claiming to have level 6 pain can reference two completely different things.

The first opioid crisis in the U.S. was prompted by medical attention soldiers received in The Civil War. This problem lasted for several decades afterward. Heroin was marketed in the early 1900s as a less addictive option to Morphine, but it isn’t less addictive. Purdue said their drug was less addictive, too, which, again, it isn’t. Hospice has guaranteed patients the legal right to pain management which increase availability.

It doesn’t make sense to focus all policy efforts on limiting the amount of Fentanyl that crosses the southern border when most consumers of pain relievers describing this as an addiction claim the problem began with a prescription.

Death – Take the time to sit with the individual who has left their body

When someone dies, the first thing to do is nothing. Don’t run out and call the nurse. Don’t pick up the phone. Take a deep breath and be present to the magnitude of the moment.

There’s a grace to being at the bedside of someone you love as they make their transition out of this world. At the moment they take their last breath, there’s an incredible sacredness in the space. The veil between the worlds opens.

We’re so unprepared and untrained in how to deal with death that sometimes a kind of panic response kicks in. “They’re dead!”

We knew they were going to die, so their being dead is not a surprise. It’s not a problem to be solved. It’s very sad, but it’s not cause to panic.

If anything, their death is cause to take a deep breath, to stop, and be really present to what’s happening. If you’re at home, maybe put on the kettle and make a cup of tea.

Sit at the bedside and just be present to the experience in the room. What’s happening for you? What might be happening for them? What other presences are here that might be supporting them on their way? Tune into all the beauty and magic.

Pausing gives your soul a chance to adjust, because no matter how prepared we are, a death is still a shock. If we kick right into “do” mode, and call 911, or call the hospice, we never get a chance to absorb the enormity of the event.

Give yourself five minutes or 10 minutes, or 15 minutes just to be. You’ll never get that time back again if you don’t take it now.

After that, do the smallest thing you can. Call the one person who needs to be called. Engage whatever systems need to be engaged, but engage them at the very most minimal level. Move really, really, really, slowly, because this is a period where it’s easy for body and soul to get separated.

Our bodies can gallop forwards, but sometimes our souls haven’t caught up. If you have an opportunity to be quiet and be present, take it. Accept and acclimatize and adjust to what’s happening. Then, as the train starts rolling, and all the things that happen after a death kick in, you’ll be better prepared.

You won’t get a chance to catch your breath later on. You need to do it now.

Being present in the moments after death is an incredible gift to yourself, it’s a gift to the people you’re with, and it’s a gift to the person who’s just died. They’re just a hair’s breath away. They’re just starting their new journey in the world without a body. If you keep a calm space around their body, and in the room, they’re launched in a more beautiful way. It’s a service to both sides of the veil.
