Yes, denial - and specifically denial of real emotions - is the oldest epidemic.
It's also the main tool that evil has to dis-empower and end life.
The most insidious aspect is that this is all a process that individuals are doing to themselves. The reflection in outer reality stems from everyone, everywhere. Often it is the the least significant looking individuals who are denying emotions the most and who are most responsible for the heartbreak, loss of power and loss of love on Earth.
You are welcome, this is the area I have studied the most in my life - this time around 😄
