A number of people lately have been posting that they feel something "off" or "wrong" lately, anywhere from just today to the past several weeks or more.

I would like to propose consideration of the idea that perhaps what you feel is not "wrong" in its essence, but just "off" compared to where things are at the moment? Or maybe just discomfort because it is something we are not used to, like a stretchy-hurt of the intuitive senses?

See for example http://community.livejournal.com/starseeds_dna/141946.html. Probably awfully New-Agey for many of your tastes (heck, even for my taste, although like an odor, your sensors get accustomed to it and you stop "smelling" it), but hang in there and get the gist.

On the other hand, I am kind of curious about the recent wildfires in Texas and unexpected (?) tornadoes in Missouri and Illinois. In any case, Very Weird weather and things are going on all over, but it feels to me more like "wobbly, out of balance at the moment" than "ew ew totally wrong" (though I could easily be wrong about that, since I am generally not the intuitive sort).

Ya know, there are enough people in any circle of friends and acquaintances who are "off" at any time that ostenbily there could be something "wrong" at any given point in time. Therefore, musings over whether something bigger is happening should probably just be placed in the "minor paranoia" bin and left to dissolve on their own. Just IMO.

In my circle it's been kind of a sudden surge of it. Nobody posting anything, then a little gaggle of it all at once. But even in the way you describe it, if there's always someone "pinging", barring the possibility that everyone is wrong, doesn't that tend to point to "something continually going on"? I don't mean some kind of single "war" or "veil drop" type event, as pops up on otherkin fora every now and again, but rather everyone now and then getting a "poke" in this general, ongoing process. Every so often you sense it, then you get desensitized to it, then it comes back.. etc. ?
