I think I&#8217;ve learned from that, too.</p><p>I&#8217;ve fought for my life for a long time and survived.</p><p>My Mom, my dearest person, has passed, which still hurts like crazy in me every time I remember that she is not here.</p><p>My relationship with the &#8220;<a href="https://tessa.substack.com/p/mfm-healing?utm_source=publication-search">medical freedom movement</a>&#8221; has evolved.</p><p>Early on, I was brave and na&#239;ve, and if I were to do it all over again, I would do it all over again. It was useful to be brave and na&#239;ve. But I&#8217;ve greatly evolved my understanding of what actually works.</p><p>Too much circus!</p><p>For a while, I was overextending myself, and I felt like a lonely Cassandra, <a href="https://tessa.substack.com/p/the-bad-witch-and-weaponized-pain?utm_source=publication-search">seeing things </a>that others don&#8217;t see.</p><p>It was painful to observe the activities of calculated pretenders who succeeded, for the moment, at convincing the world of their shiny dissident creds. I was rubbing my eyes, I was like, OMG, no. I was trying to fix things, I was mourning the amount of trickery that succeeded, love that got redirected, and sacred soul energy that was wasted on distractions that had been designed, well, to distract.</p><p>I was desperate but I kept pushing back.</p><p>I got really sick, in part, from trying to selflessly save the world that didn&#8217;t want to be saved.</p><p>I had to figure it out.</p><p>I grew wiser.</p><p>I am far more sober and far more optimistic now.</p><p>I have had the honor to receive the kind of insights that are possibly rare.</p><p>Those who played dirty against me and those who should have known better than to doubt me but chose to betray me, well, that&#8217;s on them. I am saying it with <em>no nothing</em>.</p><p>I have come to live through regretting every time I made a wrong choice.</p><p>Those who didn&#8217;t believe me will one day realize they&#8217;d been tricked. It will be a part of their journey to see clearly, and I am on mine.</p><p>It&#8217;s all good.</p><p>Like a phoenix, I am coming back to life.</p><p>I was forced to go on a journey of finding who I am, for the thousandth millionth time.</p><p>There is value in learning from the inside.</p><p>And my Mom? She was the most beautiful Mother I could ever wish for.</p><p>We were worried about each other too much. I suspected I shouldn&#8217;t, I knew that I shouldn&#8217;t but it was so hard!</p><p>It was also not easy for her. In my teens, I rebelled, I was breaking conventions and inventing my path, and she just wanted me to have a good regular life.</p><p>We were worried about each other too much. I knew that I shouldn&#8217;t but it was so hard!</p><p>She is teaching me everything now.</p><p>I am learning.</p><p>For the millionth billionth time, I am reinventing myself.</p><p>I will never forget how years ago, when I visited Russia for a short trip, Mom and I went to see my grandparents&#8217; graves. We took longer than planned to get ready. It was far. It got dark real fast. There was no light, only snow. There were no people around. We just walked, and I prayed, and we found the graves, and this is the last time I was there.</p><p>And here is my Mom, my <a href="https://tessa.substack.com/p/my-mom-my-fortress-in-heaven">fortress in Heaven</a>.

I will try to respond to everyone, I couldn&#8217;t get myself to do anything yet, I am grieving. </p><p>I am grieving. My Mom was (and is) the heart of my hearts. I lived to save her, to figure out life one day and to make her proud. We were close, so close. Yes, we had differences in opinions, and I argued with her sometimes from the heart, and I wished to be seen and heard more, and complained. Oh, I lived for her. I lived for the dream of that perfect harmony that I saw in my heart and craved for. But despite all that, love was obvious even when I was wishing for more.</p><p>And suddenly, all I see is love, and all I know is love, and I know that all there is, is love, and has always been.</p><p>I am her baby, now I fully am.</p><p>I am her child.</p><p>I am proud to be her child. </p><p>I am getting used to the fact that my Mom is now a Spirit, that she knows the things that Souls know when they get to the other side. I, a human being in flesh, am still here, but I am closer to there&#8230;</p>

I thought I could because I was able to save myself, I used all sorts of protocols and my best heart. She had a mind of her own, she has gone home. I am wiser and braver now but God, there is nothing in this world that can replace my Mom, my only Mom. </p><p>I am deeply grateful to everyone who has reached out, sent prayers, donations, and other acts of love.

How many times are they gonna try?! </p><h2><strong>&#8220;The Plague, the Plague! Beware of the Plague&#8221;</strong></h2><p></p><p>Once upon a time, in a fictional far-away kingdom, the authorities announced a big plague. King&#8217;s messengers on horses and in beaked masks, were sent to every town and every village, demanding that the citizens drop whatever they were doing and go back home.</p><p>King&#8217;s messengers looked very menacing and serious in their beaked black masks, and they sounded strict. They insisted that the order to go back home in the middle of the day and to stay home was for the citizens&#8217; own good, and that it was not to be questioned in any way.</p><p>When some feisty citizens inquired how they were going to feed themselves and their families while under the new &#8220;royal lockdown&#8221; rule, the messengers told them that they were endangering the country and that they had to immediately shut up, comply, and just let the king do all the thinking for them. Unless, of course, they desired to go to jail and ask all their remaining questions there.</p><p>&#8220;It won&#8217;t take more than two weeks anyway, have some patience,&#8221; the masked messengers said. The threats and the promises worked like a charm, and the citizens in every town and every village begrudgingly complied, expecting to resume their normal daily lives in two weeks or so.</p><h2><strong>Perfect Timing</strong></h2><p>The timing of the plague was perfect for the king and especially for the treasurer of the Crown. For years, the king has been mostly partying and not paying attention to what was going on, while the treasurer has been dutifully stealing everything from the treasury &#8212; every piece of gold he could find &#8212; and even inviting his children and his closest associates to partake in the theft.</p><p>The treasurer was stealing so shamelessly that no amount of citizen taxes and no loot from foreign wars could make him satisfied. The gold just kept disappearing into his bottomless pockets, with no trace. And it so happened that shortly before plague, he had stolen the last piece of gold from the treasury and discovered that there was nothing left there, except some dust, a few mouse droppings, and a whole lot of old spider webs.</p><h2><strong>A Perfect Storm: Sustainability and Plague</strong></h2><p>The Treasurer didn&#8217;t despair though. He had a resourceful mind. He set out to convince the King that spider webs and mouse droppings were, in fact, the new gold &#8212; the trendy and sustainable kind. He prepared his &#8220;pitch&#8221; and &#8212; just as he was rehearsing his pitch, the plague announcement came.</p><p>&#8220;Great timing!&#8221; the Treasurer thought to himself. &#8220;This plague is such a Godsend.&#8221; And nobody ever asked the Treasurer if the course of events had anything to do with the private conversation he had the day before with the Chief General and the Sorcerer of the Crown.</p><p><em>The rest of the tale is <a href="https://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2023/02/02/the-sorcerer-and-the-plague.aspx?_gl=1*1v22xjy*_ga*OTMxNzI1MzUwLjE3NjkxMzcwMDk.*_ga_4MC0V1BXBK*czE3Nzg0MzkxNzIkbzMwJGcxJHQxNzc4NDM5MTc3JGo1NSRsMCRoMA..">here</a> on Dr. Mercola&#8217;s website (free, no paywall, I am just respecting the fact that I wrote it for their website &#8230; and here is the <a href="https://media.mercola.com/ImageServer/Public/2023/February/PDF/the-sorcerer-and-the-plague-pdf.pdf?_gl=1*19ack05*_ga*OTMxNzI1MzUwLjE3NjkxMzcwMDk.*_ga_4MC0V1BXBK*czE3Nzg0MzkxNzIkbzMwJGcxJHQxNzc4NDM5MTgwJGo1MiRsMCRoMA..">PDF</a>))</em> </p><p></p><p>Thank you again for your kindness, donations, subscription, prayers, and beautiful words.

the universe. It&#8217;s about meaning, courage, and mind control. It&#8216;s as important to me as my 2020 essay <em><strong><a href="https://tessa.substack.com/p/great-reset-dummies">The Great Reset for Dummies</a></strong></em>, the essay that I sent to my 12 subscribers, that suddenly went viral and changed my life. Back then, I was shouting from the rooftops about  transhumanism and the long-planned AI power grab, which at the time was still an obscure subject, not known to most.</p><p>Today, most people are well aware of transhumanism&#8212;but many are still naive to what I am about to say as it goes against the foundational sorcery that the aristocrats have been injecting into people on a massive scale for a very long time. </p><p> I am painting this story with my heart. I encourage you to think it through from the inside and do your own thinking and research.</p><h3><strong>Why? </strong></h3><p>Because we&#8217;ve been lied to about our supposed lack of power. They, the they, have arranged the society to make it easier for themselves to steal love, soul, and life force from innocent living beings all over the globe, and they have been at it for a looooong time.</p><h3><strong>Who are they?</strong></h3><p>I don&#8217;t think that anyone knows the entire deal. There are people who claim to know and expose the entire deal but I think that in most cases, it&#8217;s a great overestimation of the case. </p><p><em>They</em>, the they, could be the descendants of ancient sages whose hearts went bananas from some ancient betrayal and piercing pain&#8212;and they turned crazy, and turned pawns to wrong forces, and started wreaking havoc, yanking joy from many in order to sweeten their own pain. </p><p>They could be endowed explorers of reality, magicians-gone-south on their own journey to love, in which us and them play a multidimensional game, strangely helping each other understand the hidden sides of ourselves that we wouldn&#8217;t be able to understand without that dance.</p><p><em>(One of my favorite sources on &#8220;alternative history&#8221; is <a href="https://amzn.to/4fbPy5m">this book</a> by Awo Fa&#8217;lokun.)</em> </p><p>Bottom line: <em>they</em> understand the laws of nature and physics (known in the vernacular as &#8220;magic&#8221;) really well, and they have been using their understanding of reality in order to confuse and steal. They&#8217;ve been luring the innocent and abusing the helpless, and it&#8217;s time to change things. In my own shoes, I don&#8217;t accept this abuse. I am not on board with this distorted use of innately beautiful power. </p><p>And we, the sincere people, don&#8217;t serve ourselves well by giving more attention to their story (whatever it is) than we give to <em>our own.</em> It is my opinion that we owe it to ourselves to seek, to breathe, to look at ourselves and this world in awe, to explore reality, to love our souls and the laws created by God for our joy. Using balanced understanding, we can fight back, even as we pray for them to heal, too, on God&#8217;s terms. </p><p>I am on the opinion that when it comes to these gone-south descendants of ancient sages&#8212;or fallen angels&#8212;or out-of-space explorers&#8212;or whoever they are&#8212;it is very likely that the Creator has a plan about everything that is going on, and it is likely that the plan goes beyond anything that a human being in our human consciousness can perceive. </p><h3><strong>We are the (human) saviors we&#8217;ve been waiting for</strong></h3><p>Each of us is a universe. Each of us came to this Earth with a depth and unique importance that is so amazing and strong that no words are good enough to describe just how beautiful and important we are. All of it. All our courage, and doubts, and love, and mistakes, and stumbling, and figuring things out, and victories, and breakthroughs&#8212;all of it is what we send into the universe, shaping it, reporting back to God about what it feels like to be a part of God who perceives itself as not-God, walking and flying and crawling and dancing back to our Source, back to total and only love.</p><p>The point is, it is not our job to understand &#8216;em or fix &#8216;em, fixing them is their job and their conversation between them and God. It is our job to understand our situation in practical terms, to pray for <em>our</em> well-being, for our joy&#8212;and to open our minds and hearts to a sweet and awesome understanding of God&#8217;s universe and how things work. </p><p>Who are we? Where did we come from? Where do we go? Why are we here? What brought us to this Earth this time around? How can we love ourselves out of this grief? How can we be love and receive love? </p><p>This is what I am working on for myself. Self-discovery is more rewarding (to me) than chasing the <a href="https://tessa.substack.com/p/news-cycle-yo-yo-and-eternal-soul?utm_source=publication-search">news cycle that keeps spinning</a> and circling like a hamster wheel, like sex without an orgasm, all this buildup&#8212;followed by a letdown.  </p><h3><strong>How do I know what I know?</strong> </h3><p>I was born a mystic, and I often &#8220;download&#8221; information from the ether and then connect the dots. I don&#8217;t twist anyone&#8217;s arms to believe me but it has worked for me. </p><p>As far as &#8220;information&#8221; proper, I would like to honor two names in particular and thank them for their insightful and generous work. I have mentioned both of them a few times before. One is <a href="https://amzn.to/4vw4a4l">Awo Fa&#8217;lokun</a> and the other is Robert Temple, the author of &#8220;<a href="https://amzn.to/4fsIDnf">New Science of Heaven</a>.&#8221; Both are luminaries in their respective fields. Their work and sharing has helped me greatly to connect the dots. Catherine Austin Fitts mentioned Temple&#8217;s book in a recent interview, it pleased me greatly as I have a tremendous respect for Catherine, and I love Temple&#8217;s book. </p><p>Hats off to both Awo Fa&#8217;lokun  and Robert Temple. See, people who have an actual clue tend to <em>not</em> chase fame, not push their opinions down people&#8217;s throats, <em>not</em> toot their horn too much, not cut corners in pursuit of clicks, not to invest in &#8220;hooking&#8221; people onto their stories turning people into dependents&#8212;they act normal, calm, and modest, and just leave their knowledge out there for the seeking minds to find. This &#8220;traditional,&#8221; &#8220;old school&#8221; approach to knowledge appeals to me.</p><h3><strong>Spirit, plasma, universe, and soul</strong></h3><p><em>(Again, thanks to Robert Temple for his brilliant book &#8220;The New Science of Heaven&#8221;) </em></p><ul><li><p>The universe is alive, and most conscious life in the universe is not carbon form but invisible, &#8220;spiritual&#8221; form.</p></li><li><p>The spiritual energy is not vacuum, not &#8220;nothing.&#8221; It takes space. It has physical substance, and the medium that carries spiritual form is what physicist of today call plasma (not to be confused with blood plasma, which is not related to physics plasma at all, except it provided inspiration for the name.</p></li><li><p>Plasma stands for a &#8220;soup&#8221; of subatomic particles (electrons, ions, and other, less familiar, particles, including probably the types of subatomic particle that are still unknown).</p></li><li><p>In physics terms, &#8220;matter&#8221; stands for atomic matter, which means that &#8220;physical&#8221; objects consist of structured atoms. (Please note that the definition of atoms is fluid, and atoms may not be quite what we conventionally believe.)</p></li><li><p>Plasma (that is believed to comprise 99% of the universe, with &#8220;matter&#8221; being a rare beast comparing to all that exists) does not consist of atoms, it consists of subatomic particles that are not organized into atoms, and for that reason it&#8217;s not &#8220;matter&#8221; in the conventional sense.</p></li><li><p>However, plasma can give birth to matter, where &#8220;dust&#8221; (clusters of atoms) may form inside plasma clouds. (This, now, settles the debate of what comes first, spirit or matter. Spirt comes first.)</p></li><li><p>Plasma research has been one of the most secretive, classified areas of physics research, with heavy military involvement, strict NDAs, and harsh persecution of the scientists who didn&#8217;t want to conform to the boot. The reason for that is that at some point, it became clear that &#8220;plasma&#8221; is conscious, and that it closely matches the qualities of what myth and religion have been referring to as &#8220;angels,&#8221; &#8220;spiritual beings,&#8221; &#8220;spirits,&#8221; and so on.</p></li><li><p>Human soul, that is a composite and very mysterious spiritual being with a direct connection to God (whom human beings can&#8217;t know), is also, in physics terms, a very complex plasma cloud.</p></li><li><p>After we die, the body goes to earth, and our soul travels home.</p></li></ul><p>The so called &#8220;elites&#8221; are slave makers, they are wounded, they cover up their awful wounds with a pathological need to enslave and control life. Personally, I have compassion for their pain but it doesn&#8217;t mean that they are allowed to give their pain to innocent Souls. </p><p>Because they like to make slaves out of life, they use their understanding of spiritual laws and the universe to make slaves.</p><p>And so today, they went on to produce artificial spirits on a massive scale, coded with misleading ideas and feelings, with fear, with pain, with war.</p><p>They put the secret manufacturing of those synthetic spirits to an industrial level.</p><p>A lot of popular trends, the things people talk about or worry about <em>on a massive scale</em>, also known as &#8220;following the current thing,&#8221; are explained by the fact the wounded souls have set up a production of synthetic spirits <em>on a massive scale</em>.</p><p>In the olden days, such techniques were known as &#8220;sorcery.&#8221; What is known as &#8220;sorcery&#8221; is simply riding the laws of physics, with a caveat that real physics is not mechanical, and the entire universe is alive. When such knowledge is used for negative goals, it goes against the Creators&#8217; laws, and brings pain to the human kind.</p><p>In the light of today&#8217;s technologies, the glorified thieves with extremely wounded souls want to use AI as a generator of synthetic thought, synthetic spirit, a plasma cloud that they want to overwhelm everyone&#8217;s natural soul.</p><p>Those artificial, synthetic spirits are similar to &#8220;<a href="https://tessa.substack.com/p/talking-points-are-demons?utm_source=publication-search">demons</a>.&#8221;</p><p>Their &#8220;bodies&#8221; are living plasma clouds just like the &#8220;bodies&#8221; of the natural living spiritual energy, referred to as &#8220;angels&#8221; in western myths, are living plasma clouds.</p><p>The wounded souls don&#8217;t want the people to know this kind of information, they don&#8217;t want clarity, they want the people to live in fear,</p><p>The implications of this are vast.</p><p>We don&#8217;t do ourselves any favors by taking their bait and giving more energy to pondering who <em>they</em> are than who WE are. We do need to understand enough for situational awareness&#8212;yes&#8212;and in my opinion, we do need to pray for clarity, both in spiritual and practical terms. </p><p>But as far as the bulk of our attention, we are responsible for <em>ourselves</em>. Each of us has the most precious and significant living being in the entire universe to understand and heal&#8212;ourselves.</p><p></p><div class="digest-post-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;nodeId&quot;:&quot;ca323291-3994-4051-acf5-c5029a5b048d&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;Sometimes, I semi-accidentally write stories that are bigger than life, and this story is one of those.

The <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQfG-yq7CdI">interview </a>I did with him a few years ago about COVID and censorship is still one of my favorite interviews of all times. </p><p>Mark has been a brave, pioneering (and non-partisan) dissident voice for years. He&#8217;s been a &#8220;conspiracy theorist&#8221; before many of us became this way. </p><p>In my own life, Mark has been an amazing, kind friend to me throughout the years. </p><p>Today, I would like to tell you about the new documentary about Mark that is being made by his wife Amy Smiley. </p><p>You can watch the trailer on the film <a href="https://www.readingtheworldmovie.com">website</a>. </p><p>Here&#8217;s Mark&#8217;s <a href="https://markcrispinmiller.substack.com/p/check-out-this-trailer-and-share">announcement</a>. </p><p>And here, importantly, is where you can <a href="https://www.givesendgo.com/GMRM9">donate</a> to the film. </p><p>Like I said, Mark deserves all the love in the world!! </p><p></p>
