I have been noticing that a lot of my family and friends have been grateful for the gift of time that has been bestowed upon them and are using it to great benefit. They are the lucky ones, I suppose.

Hey everyone! I hope that you guys are doing amazing wherever you are in the world. My name is Bhoomshakha and I welcome you to my channel. As always, I'm so grateful that you guys are listening, Subscribing and commenting. I appreciate the support. And in this one, I wanted to speak to you guys about a question that has been rattling around in my brain for the last few days as I have been in this room in my own quarantine. And I know I've done a bunch of videos on how I believe that this is a time of reset for a lot of people, For Mother Earth, For humanity in general. A lot of you guys have noticed that. A lot of memes are going around about it as well. There's a lot of conversations online and offline about it as well. But I was also thinking specifically with regards to individuals and how I think that because nothing happens by coincidence, I think, I believe. And so every person on this planet who is here on this planet right now is going through this particular situation that we're going through right now, Is here for a reason. There is a reason why we are going through it right now rather than any other person on the planet, Rather than any other person in any other generation or time. And so from all of this, I gather intuitively that each of us are being given this time. And I'm kind of thinking about this as I speak, So hopefully it's not too annoying to you guys. But I believe that each of us are going through this moment in time. As a humanity, Obviously, We are given time, Space and reset. But also as an individual as well, Each individual on this planet is being given this time and space in order to do something that they were thinking about doing but they didn't actually do. Or thinking about doing something or focusing on something but they didn't have the time for it or they didn't have the inclination for it or the space for it, Mental, Physical, Whatever, It might be emotional. And I think that each person on this planet right now is going through this kind of self-reflection in their own way. They're kind of figuring out, Ah, I see. So this time right now that has been given to me as a gift, Which is a really important gift, More important than anything else we could really receive. So we've been given this time as a gift and this gift is given to us in order to do something that we've been thinking about for a while but we didn't because, As I said, We didn't have the time or space for it or we're afraid or whatever. There's a hundred thousand excuses we can come up with. I'll give you an example, Obviously, From my own life, Which is why this video came up. I've been thinking about editing my novels that I've written. So I think you guys know already, I hope that you guys know, I think I've talked about it enough, That I'm a science fiction or a fiction writer in general. I write science fiction, Some erotica, Some fantasy, Some random stuff. Like I just write a hodgepodge of whatever I feel like writing. And so I have a bunch of novels, About 14 or 15 now, I don't actually remember, Many novels published on Amazon. And usually what I do is how I do these videos, Right? So I record the video, I kind of use my intuition, I sit down, I spill out my intuition, I spill out whatever's going on within me onto video and then I hit publish. I don't really think about it and I don't edit because that's how I want it to be. That's how raw I want these emotions and feelings and thoughts to be. I want it to come straight from my heart and straight to your heart or to your screen, Right? And so I do my writing in exactly almost the same way. I do a little bit of editing, Very little, Very minuscule and I just kind of, I use my muse, I write, My muse writes, I guess, And I finish the novel and I hit publish and then I go on to the next one right away. I don't even think about it twice. I don't even remember actually what novels I've already written. Like people would message me saying, Oh, I really like this novel you wrote about this, This, This. I'm like, Oh, Cool, I'm glad you liked it. But then I'll have to go back and refresh my memory because I'm like, I have no idea what this book was about, Right? So I really actually don't remember what my books are about. A friend of mine actually recently read one of my books and she told me certain things about it and I'm like, Whoa, Wow, I can't believe I actually wrote this stuff. So anyway, So obviously I don't do any editing at all. And recently, As I said, I've been thinking about it, I should do some editing. I think it'd be a good chance for me to learn about my own writing, Maybe improve on it. There's a bunch of good, Good things will come off of it. And also all good, Great writers edit their work to the extreme, Right? And so if I want to aspire to be a good writer, Then I need to aspire to be a good editor as well. But I was postponing it, I was procrastinating on it. I've been thinking about this for the last year, Maybe last few months, Maybe, And I was procrastinating, Procrastinating, I was like, No, I don't want to. And then obviously I've been given this chance to be at home and to just really be here. And obviously I also received a lot of feedback from my friend who read the book. And all of a sudden I realized that I felt, And it might seem very superficial to you and or even something really narrow and foolish, But for me it's a big thing. And so I feel like also in a lot of ways the universe is giving me a lot of different lessons during this time. But it's also teaching me or telling me, I think it's commanding me basically, It's telling me this is the time for you to do it. And a lot of signs and signals are kind of like culminating and telling me go edit your novels. And so that's what I've been trying to do as much as possible. During this time as I am stuck in this room and I do have a lot of time and I have internet, So why not? And so I've been spending more time than normal editing my novels. I've been writing obviously my thousand words daily, But also as much as possible I've been editing my novels. And it's been a very enlightening process. But in general, As I said, It was kind of like the universe is kind of pushing me. She's like, You know, You have this time now, You have this space, Why don't you go do it instead of procrastinating about it? And right now, As I said, I have no excuses. Literally I have no excuses. I have the time, I have the space, I have the inclination. There's nothing holding me back. And so I started asking the same question to everyone that I know who is the kind of person who reflects on this kind of stuff. And I started asking people, You know, What do you think this particular thing, This quarantine means for you particularly? Not in general, Of course, There's a lot of lessons to be learned from it about family and about focusing on the right things and about slowing down, Things like that. But I think particularly for each person, There is a lesson within the quarantine process or within this coronavirus incident. And each of us are meant to learn this lesson in order to move forward from the situation on to the future. If there is a future, I think there must be. And so I implore all of you guys to take the time as well to take a few minutes. It doesn't shouldn't take you that long. It's pretty apparent sometimes. Actually, It's like right blatantly in my face that I should be doing this. So it's pretty apparent mostly that, You know, What your thing is going to be and what you should be focusing on. And so sit down or stand up, Walk around, Dance and figure out what this time is meant to or what is supposed to mean for you, Particularly as an individual in this time, Rather than just one of humanity's people or one of humanity. And then really try as much as possible to perhaps bring that idea or that action or that idea, Whatever it is that you're supposed to be thinking about into your life. In this moment in time, You don't have to do a great job of it. You don't have to be perfect at it. I'm not perfect at my editing at all, But I'm doing it. And that in itself is giving me so much power. It's empowering me in a way that I feel I feel better as a writer than I've ever felt before. I feel I feel complete as a writer, More so than I've ever felt before. And it's so powerful for me, Specifically, I'm sitting here thinking, Wow, This is so great. And I really want to share this feeling with the rest of the world. And so I really hope, Wish, Desire that you will take the time to figure out that thing for yourself. Whatever your thing is, It could be something very simple. It could be something very complex. It could be that the universe is telling you go divorce that person because you're not supposed to be with them. Or that you need to have a baby or that you need to go back to university or you need to reorganize your closet. I don't know. I mean, There's so many different things that could come up. And this doesn't mean that it's just one thing. I'm sure once I'm over the editing thing, There'll be other lessons that will pop up and teach me something more about this incident. But I hope that you will take the time to look into this for yourself. And if you do find something or if you think that there's something that you can share with us, I'd love to hear from you guys as well on what your particular details are on what you learned from this and what you're what you're supposed to be doing in regard to the time, The gift of time that we have received at this moment in time. Again, Thank you so much for listening. I do appreciate your support, Especially during this time. I really love the fact that we're still having this conversation and having this community around the YouTube channel is really, Really gratifying. I thank you again and I shall see you guys in the next one. Bye for now.
