Nemophilia is an interesting word, because it comes apart as "nemo" or "nobody" and "philia" or love of. In other words, "love of solitude." But, Greek is tricky about "nemo" because it can also mean "everybody" or in another sense, "nobody in particular."

You may have encountered a literary "nemo" such as the name Odysseus called himself to the cyclops Polyphemus; the captain of the good anti-war ship Nautilus in Jules Verne's _20,000 Leagues Under the Sea_; or that idiotic fish in the disney-animation film.

This was more like a reading or a personal message the way it landed in my system. Thank you. I practiced yoga on the grass a few days ago and now I will see it smiling. I sat for at least an hour yesterday just watching the ocean and the waves…without trying to do anything else and I like to scramble over stones. I remembered the mushroom fairy rings on Colorado I used to see. I have felt sad for no clear reason and had people show up and connect with me this past week. Thanks for this dose of light Demi.

I'm so happy it resonated with you like this. It sounds like maybe you were processing some energy. Maybe it wasn't even your energy - could just be the ambient collective energy you're tapping into. The other people might be showing up to help ease your processing and add their light, kind of like this post did. I love that. xoxo

Thank you for that. It is a new thing for me to take in. I visited a family member and after, was in an unusual energetic space. My mentor mentioned I was possibly in the space that family member experiences life from and was possibly unconsciously processing some of it. It was good to see and feel that I was detoxing and processing as it was confusing. One thing I often wonder about is when I feel grief that does not fit my situation. I do think it may be collective. Or my soul responding to collective movements here I find troubling. I was listening to an audio book of Anna Grandmother of Jesus last night and it was mentioned that some characters in the book experienced similar things. Yet it is still hard at times to hold such emotionally experiences objectively and to see them from a much wider lens. My mind looks for a reason to attribute what I feel to. No need to respond and I appreciate your comment as I believe it is very accurate.

We all have resonant biofields and our biofields can be quantum entangled with the biofields of others - which could give you a physiological response to a stimulus that someone else is experiencing. Think about how much better you feel when someone who cares about you sits next to you. That's bioresonance. You can have that same experience via "spooky action at a distance," as Einstein used to call it, if you have entangled biofields.

From my own experience, this happens to me anyway... I can walk into a crowd or a room and I will immediately feel a shift that is, within me, sort of taking the energetic temperature of the space and reacting to it. Once you notice it, you can control it.

But there are a few people in my life where I don't even need to share space with them for this to happen. I can feel in my body when one of my people is sad or sick or happy or sending me love. It directly affects my biofield and I experience physiological changes.

With my big cousin, for instance, all I have to do is think about her and the phone rings. I will pick up and she'll say, "I felt you. What?" LOL.

Yes. All so true. I am still learning to control what I feel and notice, if that is possible for me. Not sure about that one. It feels like trying to control the temperature outside me. Sometimes, I can go sit in the shade, or find some AC. And some of those collective energy fields are the flavor they are… I am sure embodying my own frequency and light and owning it fully helps a lot. I love that you are so sensitive to special people in your life. That is lovely!

Why yes, the urge to disappear into the forest and become local folklore has been my ambition for 30 years. My wife and I have discussed this in detail. The only reason we're not already there is that preparations are not yet complete.

Love the memes! Where did you find them, as Substack doesn't seem to permit copying or share elsewhere. 🌺Yvonne
