Love the article. As you say our job every day is to be kind, recognize that others are struggling, and move the world a little more towards harmony. COVID has taught me, though, to be a little more militant and be more vocal at mistruths perpetrated to keep us in line. Not angry, but resolute, in hopes that others can find their footing too in these odd times.

One of the greatest paradoxes of our time:

everyone's so busy yet most are unable to mind their own business.

You are a great teacher, Tessa, an epitome of human understanding. I am lucky you write here and will try and repay you someday, some way, for sharing what you do. I am reminded of a book called GYPSIES by Jan Yoors. The author literally ran away to live with Gypsies as a child in Belgium in the late 1940's. All around Europe he lived and traveled with them, decades, returning to his parents house for periods in between. Since they have oral tradition, his recounting of daily life -very detailed and yet broad- means alot that we can read about them from an adopted insider. They too seem to have come to a place where they (as a culture) learn to not hold onto anger, because you cannot live well that way, no flow.

Wow, thank you Jacquelyn, you got me curious about this book now, I want to find it.

And I try to be a good student and be honest. The good things come from the higher powers, I believe in that. We just need to be willing to put in the work and do what's right, I think... xoxo

I was talking about that book to someone just the other day! It was pivotal to my formation as a young person!

Wow really, I am just finishing it again having read it years ago, I forgot a lot and it means more now as I prep for a more nomadic life in the next year(s)...I read it in my 40's the first time, it would have changed my life if I had read it earlier. My Dad used to joke he stole my mother from the Gypsies, (she was a Canadian born Romanian). So funnily enough that is why I was interested, and come to find out my Dad was 1/16 Algonquin, he never mentioned it, he was simply 'French Canadian'. Best

I share your sentiments about Tessa’s inspired writing which I cherish also. I want to add that your comments (which I have come across on various platforms over these years) always resonate with me. I am grateful for them as well.

On the gullibility of intelligence - I found that people who are over-educated have the tendency to accept their social constructs without ever questioning them.

There are probably two reasons for that; the first reason being that people who spend more time getting educated spend more time being indoctrinated. I am quite horrified by the brainwashed zombies that the universities and colleges churn out. Critical thinking in Academia is on life support these days.

The second reason is that the current socio-economic system is far more likely to handsomely reward the intelligent for their servitude, which gives them a good incentive not to question any of the dogmas of the status quo.

There is an awakening underway - but seen as a social pyramid this is from the bottom up. In my experience blue-collar workers are far more capable of critical thinking than any of the white-collar workers in our day and age.

It breaks my heart for those people with really good intentions, that have been duped big time during the last three years. At first I felt brokenhearted about it, but then I felt scared. People with really good intentions and who are generally warm hearted, might actually easily turn against me for not taking an injection. Or they might be apathetic when the government takes away my rights.

But you are absolutely right, it makes a huge difference to admit that people are f*ucked up. Especially when you're an empath and absorb so much and genuinely want to help people.

Thank you, Gina, and I found that it helps a lot. Accepting one's limitations is therapeutic. And I think that praying for people's clarity, in whatever way is the most spiritually right, is a very powerful thing. We just need patience and a focus on our own clarity and doing waht's right. Sometimes people wake up after years!

Tessa i love these philosophical and spiritual pieces because by the end of 2020 you had already tackled just about every aspect of the plandemic. that work is just as resonant now.

i think it would be hard to find somebody who didn't have PTSD from what's happened over the last 3 years. just hoping/praying that the PTSD reaction we're all going to experience once plandemic 2025 gets rolled out will trigger noncompliance instead of mass insanity a second time around.

Thank you!!!! And yes, lots of PTSD, that's for sure. And no lack of insanity, alas. But sooner or later.... we'll get it right!

💯 about turning off the society stuff and just grounding in nature. That’s what I do to get clear and centered. And nice Trudell reference, I loved that guy and need to go back and listen to some of his teachings.

Journalists are in a great observable place to then write philosophically about Life. You see a lot, interview various people, pick up on what's trending by the collective; excellent perch to take the Natural World's pulse, people's opening up––which can then un-camouflage the spiritual.

The material world cannot exist without grounded support by forces from the far side of the veil. Human evolutionary progressions, which now includes emergence of the ego, also dictates how reality will adapt. If people believe the holography of their ego and act upon it? Very predictable, so you can steer clear of any harm they conjure.

As far as this reader is concerned––keep writing about the gestalt of Life, Tessa. So much more reaffirming than any reporting or analysis of looping, events and the currents they generate (I realize the latter help pay the bills).

Thank you, Steve!! And yes, am writing about what I think really matters and helps us get out of this the soonest. I am observing a lot of "market-driven" (and sometimes more sinister) trends around not just reporting but nudging people to focus on anguish. There are plenty of legitimate reasons for anguish but it is there to teach us something and then clear the road for joy.

Great read! Staying on that straight and narrow path, very few can find it. People are more content living in their bubble. To face Truths is too absurd and against the grain of society. So they sweep reality and common sense under the rug. It is easier to be a follower than the lone wolf. To me, love is faithfulness, mercy, and justice.. Hence, Ancient Laws that prexisted before mankind. Evil exists due to pride, it's a choice. Just like taking the clot shot, it's a choice. I choose to be a lone wolf, I know no other way.

Much peace 🌻

Thank you, Adeline! The path is indeed narrow! On my end, I very much welcome a good community but I think it makes sense to be faithful to one's truth first and foremost, and not be swayed by opinions. For example, I know that when I post things, in-depth philosophical takes are less popular than straight-out analysis of all things great reset. But they are far more important!! And I keep posting them because that is how we get in the clear, by being completely connected to love. I am convinced of that, and lots of people are trying to muddy the waters, and create fake sensationalist things, and make people connect to their anger.. well, that is NOT how we get out of it, and I don't want to lie to increase my popularity, I want to enjoy the community in the truest sense of it.

Exactly! And how can one reach the full potential of love when anger resides as an individuals virtue. It cancels out the good. Keep posting dear Lady Tessa. For within your writings, shines both light and love to us readers. Best wishes! 🌻
