I could write novels upon novels on gaslighting but when you're in the throes of a really good narc, you only know how 'had' you were when you've finally managed to come up for air. Then the worst part is questioning yourself how you allowed the smart you to get to the dumb place?????

It was a lesson need learned because you are smart way too smart to conceive such lowness. Really can you truly-really understand the depths? Never, that’s why.

You are so right. I had to fully grasp darkness to embrace the light. It's the ying/yang. We all have shadows that can only be seen when light shines. It's that light that tames our darkness and is there for us in our darkest of hours. Being broken from ego is freedom from the worst and being fully accepting of all the magic that is the great unknown.

The more we realize we know nothing, the more we can realize everything.

Great post Tessa. There's a great quote that speaks to the truth that we humans are not selfish and self-absorbed by our "nature," but rather must be trained and brutalized to believe and behave in such fashion.

John Oberly was the U.S. Commissioner of Indian Affairs between 1888-1889. He describes the changes in thinking that would be required for American Indians to be able to integrate into the Western myth systems glorifying greed and plunder as follows:

The “Indian” - “must be imbued with the exalting egotism of American civilization so that he will say “I” instead of “We,” and “This is mine” instead of “This is ours.”

It is ironic that clearly our only hope as a species is to once again say "we" and "this is ours" - leaving behind the greed, toxic individualism and associated plunder of Western narcissism and the myth systems that support such behavior.

I became aware of the addictive chemicals in our food many years ago. Processed sugar(s) being the number one addictive substance in the west's processed/industrial foods. I won't take away from your wonderful post, but I'll say that once I learned that what we've been eating in the West has been poisoning us, addicting us, killing us and completely stopped eating their processed garbage, my physical and mental health did a complete 180. I was one of those who used to make fun of people who tried to eat healthy for their bodies and minds. I definitely don't make fun of them now as I've seen the difference and even watched the turnaround in others who've I've been able to convince. I believe that the food we eat affects us in more ways than we can even imagine. If it didn't, why would the "engineers" of humanity like Doktor Bill Gates, Klaus Schwab and other monsters be working so diligently to take away any healthy foods/proteins? It's well worth taking a look and doing some research and making the changes necessary. Taking control over the foods we eat is a *huge* step towards individual liberty. I promise. :) Thanks for another thought provoking post Ms Tessa. And I apologize if my comment was kind of off topic?

The assignment of the parasitic attempt to possess and control by deceit to its agencies never gets to the root.

Self-image can be taken vainly - that is - as if it is truly reality, rather than a collection of thoughts about, reflecting or representing a Reality that can never be rendered unto imaged forms, yet can be recognised and accepted and shared in.

The identity phished by image and form is a masking over.

When we grasp at a beauty as if to possess it, we mask over a sense of lack of beauty that drives such a grasping. While we 'love' our creation, it is an image referencing a moment passed, a symbol to something that now needs boosting so as 'not to lose it'. Again reinforcing fear of lack.

The ego or masking attempt to get for self or get away from feared threat to self, runs as a learned habit of perceptions and responses seeming set in a wish to get or become something , but carrying the baggage of unowned or denied self.

The addict is then running away from true self and Self as a sense of a driven self for 'getting'.

This runs a false or covert identity parasitically running over a fear of the true.

Why would anyone fear truth?

By identifying in and believing untruth.

Truth is not a manufactured identity but a quality of being unconflicted, at one and at rest as awareness of felt being - as distinct from thoughts set in idea by which to fail or find unworthy and in need of a masking over.

"And WHO told you you were naked?" said the Lord, can be understood as WHO judged you in lack, division, fear and shame, such as to be 'susceptible' to terrible exposure, humiliation or retribution?

Gaslighting.

The attempt to manipulate and control our own masking (to ourself) is internalised gaslighting or guilting judgements that attract penalty unless complied with.

If we can so easily observe this behaviour in ourself, why should we be surprised to find we mask to and manipulate others? Such as to generate a social masking order set over conflicts that doesn't truly address them, so much as judge in ways that seek to get for self and get rid of the conflict (away from self to others and world).

I see the Bible quote as the gift of the Holy Spirit - for the freedom to question ANY 'reality' we make by be-living it or reacting as if it is true and thus believing it, while investing the error in the masking or defensive 'solution' as hidden baggage.

Our 'defences' are insanely complex, but truth is of a simple willingness to give and receive.

If I feel pain, am I not also suffering? Accidentally, I stabbed myself in the hand with a kitchen knife the other day. It hurt. It was my fault. I took responsibility (duh), yet of course it continued to hurt which caused me to suffer.

StS, please share with us how one may choose to not suffer when one feels pain. This information could revolutionize the addiction/recovery process and potentially eliminate addiction, alcoholism, suicide, depression, PTSD, etc. entirely and bring to an end literally all forms of pain-related human maladies.

Okay, well....here you are redefining the word "suffering" as a voluntary behavioral response to suit your argument.

This itself reveals that you are suffering. You are in pain, StS. As are we all. Most of the time anyway.

To "get on with life" despite feeling pain is indeed a choice. For some, it may be the "right" choice. For others, seeking attention/sympathy and/or crying may be the "right" choice.

"Life is pain, highness. Anybody telling you different is selling something."

Hmmm......not quite sure what you are asking for here, StS. I have nothing to say about the way that any given addict, in recovery or not, deals with their pain.

I will say this, though-- a committed willingness to feel everything going on inside my body at any given moment, regardless of the nature of it, has brought me into a deeper place within I never thought possible.

Something about the video demonstrating the safety & usefulness of DDT in Africa, coupled with the transhumanist overlay makes me think about this song and action-filled music video:

You're way too smart for the majority Tessa. How does one communicate such sophisticated ideas to the brainwashed? I was lucky enough to grow up in a time of incredible freedom - compared to now. A time when the concept "free your mind and your ass will follow" (love Funkadelic) was still a possibility. But now....?

In recent times I have often despaired about the situation you so eloquently describe in your posts, but then a conversation with a friend gave me renewed hope. He said that a mutual friend's kids had actually ditched their mobile phones. He told me that they thought social media and the MSM was brainwashing and that they wanted to live in the real world. They are 16 and 18 years old. There is still hope!!

Peace and love x

Theory of the Leisure class by Thorstein Veblen (1899) is brought to mind reading your post, Veblen thought industrial process of making goods and world of business and finance (i.e difference between making goods and making money) were incompatible.

Industry required diligence efficiency and cooperation, while the business world was about making money and displaying wealth. He saw elite, businessmen and the leisure class as a remnant of our predatory, barbarian past. Stating elite or leisure class (wealthy businessmen and landed gentry) do nothing but indulge themselves with leisure and consumerism, while they profit from the labor of middle and working class, contributing nothing of value themselves. Veblen's problem was working and middle class see little reward for their effort, tho' they prop up society - instead of working to support basic needs, they work to earn profits for their superiors. Moreover leisure class often engage in toxic occupations, such as warmongering ...

It's a bit socialist, I suppose, but I think what would the our communities look like without these parasites on top - sort of like a world envisaged by E. F. Schumacher, Small is Beautiful - economics as if people matter, type of world.

I think that in the current broken state of the soul, if the predators disappeared tomorrow by magic, new ones would develop from the inside. It may take us a long time to come back home and become healed but we will!!!

You are right or course ... healing millions of souls one at a time, we want the quick fix, for things to go back as they were - where we were unfree but unaware. The quick fix won't last. We cannot go back to sleep. Our real healing is process, thousands of tiny actions of creating, building, nurturing, choosing to be brave.

ps. Thank you for your artists insight, I read a lot of facts, figures and data - but your work helps me see beyond, to the soul <3

Sorry for the late reply. The Soul and Soil project looks wonderful - I would love to visit tho' we are in New Zealand so doubtful the circumstances will present themselves.

I am not sure where to start with our story - I have not yet started our website or blog, so there is not much to follow yet. Our farm is nestled on the floodplains at the feet of the Tararua mountain range. The farm mostly runs grassfed cows and horses on regenerative pastures, tho' my daughter started a garden this year, hoping to build it into a bigger project. I am focused on trees - which has much slower rewards. Our abundance of birds and high wind zone do make establishing the more delicate trees in new areas a bit of a challenge. But everywhere I can I plant, I do - both support trees and produce trees. I am obsessed with tree crops, meadow flowers and like you, medicinal herbs - tho I am very much a novice.

My other half is really focused on normalising regenerative agriculture (and using these methods to prevent pollution) its so simple for pastural farming to remove the chemicals, growing diverse meadowlands. He gave a ted talk last year (the divide and conquer methods we see in 'pandemic', we see in rural vs urban, conservation vs farmer, vegan vs cow farmer, industrial vs regenerative agriculture so he tries to draw an audience into the story when he speaks and defuse this type of thinking - so speaking to a nearly empty room under the restrictions here was less than ideal ... but here it is anyway) ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tx4zBMgfb8g

Do you share your growing projects anywhere?

Michael Hudson's latest historical perspective and update to present situation looks through the lens of Classical Economics, which sought to maximize value and minimize parasitic losses through rent-extraction. He discusses Veblen's contributions as the last of the great Classical Economists. (I enjoyed reading Theory Of The Leisure Class in college, an eye-opener)

Enchanted guards in their own prison indeed. I have not heard it put quite so succinctly before.

I have recently experienced some behavior in my family members that I found to be very telling of the seriousness of the times we are living in (with regards to cult-like and fascistic behavior becoming the norm in a large portion of the population). It began when members of my family decided to organize a family re-union in another country (meaning those of us that are not interested in putting one of the officially approved genetic bio-tech slurries into our bodies will be unable to attend due to the dystopian mandates of the Canadian government that has decided to hold millions of citizens captive within our borders). Upon informing my family members that I will not be able to attend the gathering (to see my parents and others, all of which that I have not seen in years) I was told that my sharing my reasons for not receiving said injectable biotech products was "unhelpful". After that, I was asked by one of my other family members that I refer to the injectable products as "vaccines" as they were advertised on TV (and not refer to them by their technical designation, synthetic mRNA gene therapy injections). When I refused to obey the veiled demand to use only that language which has been 'sanctified by her high priests' (and instead used the accurate and scientific designation for the experimental medical procedures in question) I was removed from the group chat and silenced. It felt to me like a situation that is somewhat like when a girl that was born into a family where their religion demands that they wear oppressive clothing refuses to capitulate and they are shunned, ostracized and deemed an outcast by their family members.

They (95% of my family) has fallen prey to the bad magic, they are both sheep and sheep dogs.. prisoners and prison wardens.. both victims of a predatory crime and complicit with the perpetrators.

Your writing about parasites was very well done. Thank you putting words to feelings and knowings I held within... shining light on these truths is medicine for the soul and for our society.

Much love and respect from Canada

The pictures of those Native American boys and men are from my tiospaye (extened family). They are my relatives. They are from The Mighty Lakota Sioux Nation Warrior Tribes of SD, USA. Their names were : Wounded Yellow Robe, Henry Standing Bear and Timber Yellow Robe before and after the Carlisle Indian School gave them “proper” clothes and haircuts. Our people were the Very Last to fall victims and be conquered. We fought to the end. Bravery, Courage, Respect, Dignity, Generosity, Integrity, and Compassion and Honor - especially for the Elderly and the Children, were and are traits and values that our people cherish.

I like your thoughtful style. i studied advertising art, back in the 1980's. the life impulse and the death impulse are well known, and well used. this is why bad boys, bad girls are so exciting...because being near death ...is exciting. fear and excitement are so very similar. that is why slasher films exist. but ancient faiths were correct, i think, that you are just the tip of a cosmic spear that your ancestral lives forged. Their courage in the face of adversity, their sacrifice, what they made of themselves. but that is not what i want to tell you. the same herbs known the world over to drive out evil spirits, are also anti parasitics. i do not believe that is accidental. artemisia, being the prime example. addictions open up up to spiritual parasites....Gin = Jinn. Spirits = spirits . so many new drugs that addict are cranked out with very targeted ad campaigns that the new names of the many new demons cannot be yet known. On this world, there are natural allies to help us keep to the natural order, to affirm life. Our ancestors are rooting for us, and it may be the ones who erred most have the most useful information for us now. The other beings on this world have consciousness , and they will help us too, if we were not so distant from them. Alliances are where its at. this is what humans do best.
