COVID-19 & Life Changes Anthony Kilner

What a month! The Corona Virus (CV) or COVID-19 has had a major impact on this planet and the ramifications are huge and far flung. Just a couple of months ago I was watching the CV panic start in Wuhan and the Chinese Government taking radical steps to shut the city down and deal with the victims and survivors alike.

Little did we know that the CV across the planet has seen virtually every nation impacted as the virus spreads and creates fear, generated by the people. The loss of life is real, the virus is real, the impact this has had on billions of people is very real and depending on how folks look at it the end result is that life on this planet is changing – for good or bad, who really knows.

What I know is that myself, like many of our writers and their families have had to close the doors on their businesses. We’ve lost income streams and it’s hard to pinpoint just when things might settle down. The Government is taking steps to support millions of Aussie workers and of course that will be a debt that could take generations to payback.

Rather than focus on the negatives though and I certainly don’t want to play the fear game like so many have in the media, I thought I’d look at my TOP 10 positives – of course there are way more. How many can you come up with?

1. Our skies are cleaner due to fewer planes in the air

2. Our waters are becoming cleaner due to less boating action

3. I’m saving bucket loads on fuel because I’m not on the road for work

4. The world is working out ways to communicate electronically

5. People have to get re-acquainted with family and family values

6. Kids are learning from their parents, many of whom worked so much they hardly saw each other let alone spent quality time together.

7. People are inventing ways to remain positive in isolation

8. People are learning good old fashioned house skills such as cooking

9. Our fur-babies are getting more walks with their two-legged parents

10.The recognition that our essential services people are just that, and deserve amazing respect and gratitude for their tireless work helping the community.

I’d love to hear what our readers are doing to keep themselves entertained. Why not flick an email to me at editor@ supernalmagazineaustralia.com.au Awesome Interviews

I had the pleasure of interviewing Jack Daniels, a Sydney based Illusionist. Not only was he down to earth and happy to chat about life being an illusion, he also managed to do a couple of illusions during our Zoom interview. Apart from the story inside the mag, we have two different vids for you to watch. One is about Jack and his life and the other includes the two illusions he did especially for us. Check them out via the website – www.supernalmagazineaustralia.com.au

Freya Sampson also introduces us to an amazing guy called Leon Bracelin. Leon is the Archaeologist in Residence in Ludolow, Shropshire, England and what an amazing character he is. He is passionate about his work and how it ties into the esoteric world.

Leon stated in the interview that, “I’m one of those unusual people, I am a scientist and I have a very deep association with the esoteric, meaning all of the very unusual things about life.”

We’ve also organised a Supernal Radio interview with Leon that will be available as a podcast in the next month or so and Leon’s take on things is nothing short of an eye opener.

April 2020 We hope you enjoy both of these amazing interviews! Also in this issue

There are some fascinating columns to check out this month as well. Derran offers up some timely insights into surviving COVID-19 from inside the home.

Freya continues her series on Relationships, and looks at how and why some conflict in a relationship can be a good thing.

Jane Offer is back with her Reflections column and looks at the illusion of time. Plus there’s a stack more reading from our regular columnists.

As always, we are open to feedback, good, bad or otherwise and suggestions on how we can keep Supernal growing. Our ultimate goal is to be the most widely read magazine with the most significant subscriber base in Australia, and of course, create a vast worldwide audience. We need your help to achieve this, so please encourage your friends and family to subscribe!

Anthony Kilner Have a Supernal month reading the mag!
