I liked you put “educated” in parenthesis, schooling is more appropriate. Education in Greek (Μόρφωσης) means ‘Continuous Forming’ and today’s “educated” are far from that, rigid with a fixed mind.
For the longest time I stood amazed at how the past three years had changed people...and certainly it did. More recently however something dawned on me that I believe is a far more accurate assessment of the times we are in.
The past three years did not nearly change people as much as it exposed them.
The tyrant...the schill...the terrified...the follower...were all there inside.
The brave...the resilient and the non-complier were there too, but it took the disaster of these past years to dispose of the veneer.
It has really been modern re-run of The Wizard of Oz, and a classic Emporers New Clothes.
Another beautiful post. I sometimes think of the world as divided between violators and guardians. The vampires are the violators and their motives are varied; many are simply vapid agents of others but by not being a guardian, actively, one by default gets sucked into being part of the violator “industry/cartel,” or whatever it should be called. You are a magnificent guardian; it’s a difficult thing but feels so right. And makes life worth living. Your work always gives me hope.
Tessa this might be reductionistic but there's a divide-and-conquer corollary to your vampire thesis. if the kids are united, they can never be divided (or so the song goes), so, they try to get us alone. and one way to do that is to alienate us from the people we respect even though we may not all agree 100% with each other. and if we don't agree 100% with someone (who does, right?), that person is our enemy/controlled op/WEF agent.
i'm seeing a ton of that on other substacks in the last couple days. just saying.
Thank you. What were the complaints about? Can you please email me the link to the flame war (not in comments)? I want to understand what that's about.

Talk about the Smart city and 15 min. thing, for easy control. Not forgetting mind control and group thinking. Yes, being monitored 24 hrs whether inside or outside. This is crazy
Tolstoy -- the War and Peace guy -- once made an interesting observation which is worth repeating:
"The whole history of pagan times is nothing but a recital of the incidents and means by which the more wicked gained possession of power over the less wicked and retained it by cruelties and deceptions, ruling over the good under the pretense of guarding the right and protecting the good from the wicked."
I will look for the quote, thank you. If he said it, he was the victim of massive multi-century slander campaign against the "pagans" ("paganus:" in Latin means "a rural dweller,: and the campaign against the "pagans:" was designed by the elites of the time (Roman emperors in this case) to decimate the rural dwellers who, just like now, were very skeptical about the establishment ideology (in that case institutional, elite-serving version of "Christianity"). It took me many, many years to start grasping the depth of that massive, multigenerational scam, and I am still mad. it was the biggest scam in human history, and the slander of "antvaxxers" is nothing comparing to the slander of the :"pagans."
Sadly, lots of people who are like me, who grew up like me, have internalized that scam. Once I realized how much we've be lied to, I cried and cried. But it is never too later to see the lies for what they have always been. Same for COVID, same for this.
You might be interested in this article about “the new paganism” basically saying it means “paganism is an approach to observable experience, a manner of psychologically re-enchanting materiality, physicality and nature with a divine significance.” https://aeon.co/essays/why-we-need-a-new-expression-of-the-sacred-a-pagan-theology
Although I disagree in some ways (like the insistence on being somehow “materialistic” although he doesn’t mean it like capitalism, and also there’s a dismissal of the possibility of God unhampered by church dogma), it counters the Christian idea that we have to “subjugate nature” as if it’s some inanimate object. A lot of choice quotes.
The quotation comes from his book "The Kingdom of God is Within You." I don't think he was using the term pagan as a synonym for "rural agricultural dweller" or anything like that. He was more interested in contrasting Christian doctrine (or at any rate his understanding of it) with everything else, and then noting what kind of social structures might be expected in either case. He devoted a lot of time to the concept of force and how it conflicts with the Golden Rule.
Sounds modern to me as well... always the pretence, for the better of humamity, your umbrella is also my umbrella mentality. I reaf.some info on the chinese.cuktural revokution on quora some years back and one of rhe off spring of the parents that formed part of this "beautification of humanity and progress vanity and its fatality in human thinking" said their parents never mentioned a word about it after the fact, same with the pandemic scam en people who have been coerced or bewitched by this so-called "untreatable" kraken monster but through our one and only mrna. When you are ashamed of being caught out as a fool mostly, you don't talk qbout the truth of the situation. You are shamed becausr you dis your one and only body extreme harm or potential harm and you chose it, either by being afraid or being forced, but the choice was yours in retrospect. I am extremely sorry for people who made the choice by force, that was uncalled for and those are the people who admit to it as a mistake because it was not their own mistake. The rest who made the choice out of own choice rarely ever talk about it as a mistake, just like the parents of the off-spring of the cultural revolution, where millions died. Denial has deep roots to delf into. Because when you start to accept your mistake, it is so difficult to talk about it, because you also influenced others to do the same with the same dire consequences or potential to it. Then you fear people will mistrust you in the future or shun you for being misleading or be responsible for bodily damage of your own AND others. They are wearing their clown faces. Trust will be gone which we so crave from other people as well and vice versa. My sister had 3 poison shots and ended up with her pancreas cancer marker skyhigh. She visited a homeopath and survived this misfortune, after having a nice private chat with the "healer" and now being aware of rhe spike damage, the first thing she did was when interacting with her after covid spiked friends was "hi, you shoukd see what covod did to my bloodworks!!". They are afraid to admit to the rest, because many people in their circle are implicated through their actions and motivations to take the experiment. It is only human i suppose, but why do i feel, and i suppose everybody not taking to the experiment, that we are looking from the outside into the circle and not out. As if we never formed part of the group social act but just experiencing other people's choices. Maybe it is because it is a closed circle. And it is easier to talk about other people's mistakes when it didn't affect us directly in a physical way...? But all in all, it did affect us in may many ways, the compliance, the lock downs, job losses, suicides due to that, laws laws and ever more increasing vampirism and imperialism towards it and the greed that motivate that, all beginning with testing our gullability and compliance and still are.... always have two teams to measure up against one another, divide and rule..
Tolstoy was correct about psychopaths rising to the top and getting control within all hierarchical systems, whether pre-Christian, Christian, Muslim, Jewish, atheist, communist, capitalist, democratic, a kingdom, etc...
But he apparently knew nothing about Native Americans. Many of their cultures (especially the Plains Indians) were not hierarchical, quite the opposite, they were egalitarian, based on the model of the circle rather than the pyramid, symbolically. They had no rulers, no "chiefs", only temporary and specialized leaders (ex: war leaders, peace leaders, a leader for the buffalo hunt, and most importantly a council of wise elders) who were chosen for their qualities (generosity above all, courage, wisdom, honesty) and experience in a specific field, and rule was by consensus, which is why they developed the art of speaking very eloquently.
Individual and collective freedom and dignity are possible within human society when we eliminate all hierarchical systems of command and control, all primitive pecking orders and establish a cooperative rather than a competitive model. Some people call this anarchy. I call it humanity and intelligence. This is the Indigenous model of North America.
There is no dignity and nobility possible when a person or a population is made to live under anything or anyone. When people lose their dignity, every other possible loss follows and human society soon becomes as a pit of vipers in which no one is actually trustworthy.
In my relationships i try to keep my attention on the space in between. Avoid mind melding and soul swapping. Possession of another is weird. Slavery is weird. Young sweethearts get into trouble when they melt so confidently into each other. It seems safer to focus on the empty space (filled with spirit) that is between us.
Christine Northrup MD has a great book on vampires and how they have been created out of the system to create conflict, melded into our norms in all of our institutions and used to bring about the biggest awakening in the history of humankind. I am well aware of the dynamics created by those we call energy vampires, or better yet let us name them the more common names: narcissists, sociopaths and psychopaths. They are manipulative and controlling and engage in relationships with those they can easily manipulate and control. It was a setup that began rolling out when television was first introduced to create relationships based on this dynamic, to create conflict between all people and the "LOOSH" vampires feed on! It is a fascinating study and a difficult pattern to rid oneself of. HD Tudor a very high functioning sociopath and narcissist explains it so well if you wish. You can find his videos on YouTube.
Savagely beautiful, Tessa. Thank you for your courageous vulnerability and humility. Some of the fiercest warrior women—Meredith Miller also comes to mind—have emerged from abusive relationships. Not only did you learn life-saving lessons from your suffering, but you have both dedicated your lives to helping others awaken from their mental and emotional bonds. It is testament to the depth of your character that you transformed your adversity into a springboard for love.
Thank you Tessa
May we all learn to forgive (not forget).

Sort of along the same line.

Very true, the past three years make the state of the soul very visible!!

Yes, I agree. And I must have missed some more campaigns to divide. Need to catch up! :-)
don't waste your time. Kindhearted, helpful, diplomatic Midwestern Doctor was the center of a flame war. Not pretty.
What?!!! Ridiculous. Can you please email me the link so that I catch up and express camaraderie?
this is his latest - great stuff https://amidwesterndoctor.substack.com/p/emotional-health-in-the-age-of-disconnection
flame war is conspicuously missing from comments - and so much the better

I think this is the flame war post about AMD (from Sage Hana):

yes, agree. MD has the truth. Brilliant
I really like the Midwestern Doctor, too!

I hope the vampires stay away. If they don't I wish peace for you, so strong it cannot be moved and a deep love that conquers it all 🙏
Thank you Heidi!!
"On the positive side, the abusive relationship experience made me super ready for 2020, life works in mysterious ways."
This was very much my experience as well.

There is a movie that maybe you have seen, called How to Get Ahead in Advertising....here it is on Archive.org. https://archive.org/details/how-to-get-ahead-in-advertising-1989 Its a reflection on things people do to succeed and how it can warp the soul. Getting ahead, indeed!
Wow, thank you, I will definitely watch!!

May your innocenc return to you.
