Great post Ms Tessa. What made me aware of one of my favorite subjects (the illusion of choice) may surprise some people. It was at the grocery store! I realized one day while reading labels on products that almost every mass produced item was made using the exact same lousy (and sometimes almost poisonous) ingredients (with a few minor differences for "taste") by just a handful of giant corporations, a light bulb came on for me. Since that day I've applied that same realization to politics, policies, public health etc. Once a person realizes this illusion, truly sees it and understands it, almost everything going on in society becomes clear. Now I go out of my way to *truly* choose whenever possible, looking for that "diamond in the rough" amongst the clutter. And often finding it.
Tessa. remember from your first MLGA video in 2020 when you said, "Villains exist to keep us awake?" I see this as a time of unprecedented opportunity (Lew Rockwell did a very good piece on that theme last year but I can't find the link - if I can track it down I'll pass it along). Look at America's Frontline Doctors for example. In 2019, would any of us have imagined that they could have existed at all, let alone been such a success story on every possible level, material and spiritual? If they went public, all the investment banks would be bidding like crazy for the IPO. Likewise, who would have thought that Del Bigtree with his little youtube channel that on a good day would 250 hits would become 3X as popular as the nightly news or the NY Times - and he doesn't even have recipes or or weather or a sports section. I think this is where we found new universities - or start bands.
So well done Tessa. I refer to religions and ideologies as "social organizing belief systems." They are essentially, operating systems that enable, for better or worse, the organization of societies. Without them organizing complex societies would be like herding cats or spiders or both. They are an essential part of human evolution and they do change slowly, or sometimes in crisis mode--which we about to experience.
I am a huge skeptic of the Great Reset ideology/religion because, I believe, it is based fundamentally on a radicalization of the pathological beliefs that already plague us--reductionistic materialism (and scientism), commodity culture (idol worship) and then transhumanism--the fusion of those two preceding into quasi-deities. The beauty of everything that surrounds us in nature it suddenly gone. We can't see it.
There is no way the long term outcome of this idée fixe will be good for mankind, or the world, because there is no wisdom in it. Once that operating system is fully up-loaded, we are doomed to profound suffering, to the extent we can still suffer. It is pure narcissism, not real love. Can humanity reboot after this apocalypse? We shall see. Let it be so.
The good cannot seize power, nor retain it; to do this men must love power. And love of power is inconsistent with goodness; but quite consistent with the very opposite qualities -- pride, cunning, cruelty. -- Leo Tolstoy

Some times I wonder... We --westerners-- have been building an Empire since the 16th century. Without any consideration for the people we were subduing. From the 18th century on, England and then Germany, America, Belgium, France to a lesser extent have turned against their own population with the 1rst Industrial Revolution. Eventually we started turning far eastern countries or central Africa into sweatshops or worse in the case of Congo (you know Cobalt and Coltan for our smartphones). But we turned a blind eye to this. Now the globocap elite has decided (in despair I guess) to turn against everyone in the G20 and beyond. I can't help to think that somehow this is karma. Somehow some kind of natural ending to all this. And its going to swallow us or most of us. Tomorrow I'll look at the snow and at the the trees and try to live the moment.
Human nature is equal to itself in space and in time. We're lucky if the best of human nature survives for a while in leaders and enables the best in people they lead instead of rule over. We suffer when the worst of human nature overtake leaders and it brings also the worst in the people they oppress. By trying to hold on to the best in each of us, maybe we can bring/keep the best of human nature in leaders. Easier said than done as we are easily lulled into complacency, enabling the worst to come back. We have to be responsible and always have to be vigilant inside our own heart and inside our society.
I know way too many people are still stuck in the matrix, refusing to believe any of this is actually happening. Keep up the good work, Tessa! Your articles are great! I have gone through a similar process of rediscovering my Norse ancestral spiritual heritage (what little is left of it), which was erased by the Christian Empire, for the most part. IMHO, the worst thing they did was eliminate the rights, autonomy, respect, and status I would have enjoyed as an ancient Norse woman. It took the Christian Empire 500 years to destroy the rights of Norse women, and now, a thousand years later, this new version of Christian West Empire is coming for the rights of men, too. I wonder if men realize their assumed status and rights are being jerked away from them, too? That they'll be treated the same as women have been treated for the last few thousand years?

Beautiful...deep...on target...thank you

Great stuff! A lot of us are converging on similar ideas these ideas. I noticed that a lot of us able to see the big, spiritual picture are women.
“…human beings are not designed to live in empires. We just don’t have the biological ability to relate to that many people!” Dunbar’s Number is 150!
And this is why it keeps happening: the alphabet vs the goddess
Patrist vs matrist

Free will is a state of mind.
I ALWAYS find your articles engaging and enlightening. Thank you.
religion and psychopaths have a lot to answer for
