The day i wrote my last post
while going asleep
i was meditating
and saw the vision of a place
with many small size dams
and suddenly from above
i could see that water
started to overflow
so much that
the dams resisted not
once the vision ended
i thought not much of it
i had no bad feeling
rather i saw was may be
some spiritual meaning
may be was a metaphor
about vibrations which
once unlock at some barriers
could start again to flow
without encountering any resistance
in dream
i was told
it is about flood
and i remember
to have said
"no no there is no flood
anywhere where i live"
"plus i don't felt bad
during the vision"
and today
i heard on news
that south of france
got some flood issue
still it hit me not
till i watched the news
and heard of the lethal implications
and the amazing images of road split open
that's it
i felt i owed the post
to the vision i could not make sense for it
and passing by
usually i look at the feeling
i have in the dream
or vision
but this time
i wonder why i had no
"bad" feeling of it
i was just admiring
the beauty of the water
how it was overflowing
and running so freely
from above
i guess
there was no bad feelings
because i was not involved in it
nor warned as a person
but i was seeing it
more in a state of witness
for the bad feelings
means the soul is involved
and thus is in danger
ah i got it
is the difference
i see now
between soul
and spirit
in terms of "involvement in experience" vs "witness state"

More than a dozen die in French Riviera flash floods
Modal Trigger
ANTIBES, France — Flash flooding around the French Riviera has
killed at least 16 people, some drowned in a retirement home and others
trapped in cars and campsites. Torrents of muddy water inundated
buildings, roads and railway tracks, disrupting movement along the
Mediterranean coast Sunday.

Residents of the picturesque and touristy region, stunned by the ferocity of the brief downpour Saturday night, described it as the worst flooding they’d ever seen. It was so dramatic that it prompted President Francois Hollande to pay an emergency visit Sunday to promise government aid for victims.
Helicopters patrolled the area and 27,000 homes were without electricity Sunday after rivers and streams overflowed their banks and fierce thunderstorms poured more than 17 centimeters (6.7 inches) of rain on the Cannes region in two hours Saturday night. That is the equivalent of two months of rainfall for the region, local radio France Bleu-Azur reported.
“It’s not over,” Hollande said, visiting the flood-stricken retirement home in the town of Biot and meeting with emergency workers.
He expressed condolences to families of victims and urged residents to remain cautious, especially on the region’s roads, many of which remained impassable Sunday. He promised aid for residents hit by the flooding and lamented serious damage to local stores and other businesses.
Some residents criticized authorities for not doing more to prevent flood damage in the region. Local firefighters and meteorologists said the amount of rain was unusual for the region this time of year, but were especially shocked by the intensity and speed of Saturday’s storm.
People were found dead in the towns of Cannes, Biot, Golfe-Juan and Mandelieu-la-Napoule in the southeast, the president’s office said.
Three elderly people were killed in the retirement home, Hollande said. Three others were found dead in their car after entering a flooded tunnel, authorities in Golfe-Juan said. Interior Ministry spokesman Pierre-Henry Brandet said the dead included victims who had been trapped in a parking lot and campsites as well.
Winds and rain whipped palm trees along the famed Croisette seaside promenade in Cannes in images shown on BFM television. Some cars parked near Cannes shore were swept away and overturned by high waves.
Several trains were stopped because of flooded tracks, and traffic remained stopped along the Mediterranean coast between Nice and Toulon on Sunday morning, according to the SNCF rail authority. Several roads in the region were closed, including those reaching Cannes, which was particularly hard hit.
The flooding also disrupted a French league soccer match in Nice, forcing the stadium to shut down in the middle of play.
Hundreds of emergency workers were involved in rescue efforts, helped by clear skies around the region Sunday.
Pope Francis offered his prayers for the victims during his weekly Sunday blessing from St. Peter’s Square.
“We express our nearness to the hard-hit populations, including with concrete forms of solidarity,” he said.
The ANSA news agency said that several trains that were halted by the floods were carrying hundreds of Italian pilgrims to or from the shrine at Lourdes. The Italian group Unitalsi, which transports the sick to the shrine, said all the pilgrims on board were fine.
