Incredible story. Yes, they will use any word, pollute anything most of us would consider sacred for their ends. I had no idea of the dark side until covid. Jesus it is dark but staying whole is what will defeat them. Using your experience to accelerate the power of good? I would say.

Thank you, Gayle!

And sadly, polluting is their business, in every sense of it. I see it as an opportunity to train our noses, for real. Not that we were looking for such an opportunity but perhaps it will ultimately help us be out best selves. I thought about it a lot and it seems to be the case. Life turns everything into good education!

Incredible, and maddening. You are one of just a few souls I’ve said, “I wish I could plug into your mind—like the Matrix—just for a few seconds to exchange data for a better understanding of the world, which I’m frequently having trouble digesting, though understand it better than most. If I were “normal,” I’d probably say, “I wish I didn’t know the truths,” but honestly, I’d rather not be like most—detached and oblivious. What I do get, most haven’t a clue, and so there are few I trust to attempt that kind of exchange, and those I attempted in the past, I regret it.

Dr. Nass just posted a story about the CIA and their methods, which most only relate via James Bond movies, so most have no real understanding; a complete disconnect from the real world, which is why they make all of those movies in the first place—like the radio broadcast “war of the worlds,” followed by a couple terrible movie versions. It’s a way of softening or accustoming minds to crazy extremes in advance of “controlled events,” so that when it happens, like 911 or the pandemic or a holographic alien attack…, the phrase “conspiracy” translates to “oh, that’s just fake-movie shit to suggest the government did it.” And so anyone who suggests the government did it is labeled “crazy,” but still, the event was real-but not. Real explosions, pain, dead people, but the reasons, like radical Islam, is mostly nonsense, with the exception of a few educated, compartmentalized-actors playing their part, plus many pawns caught up in the subterfuge who really believed it.

You brought up the CIA in your story, so I think you get what I’m saying. They are the masters of “cheap talk and noise” and not just the theft of words, but entire dictionaries, encyclopedias and history books, then through “rewritten” textbooks, headlines, broadcasts and movies…they set the populous up to accept the world as it is and therefor object cheaper, easier solutions. War is insane, in every way, especially cost. Infrastructure via fair trade tax is much more simple and cheaper than war, no matter what time in history you reflect upon, yet look how difficult it is to get people to accept real freedom and the cheaper solutions that would prevent war. That’s the CIA for you. It’s their job to steal you, keep you scared to terrified and accepting the mad world as it is—to blame it on you, overpopulation, pollution, scarcity, terrorists…, so then we accept the vaxx-genocide program, which everyone should understand by now has nothing to do with saving lives in a world they claim are too many. Thank you for the story.

USA to Ukraine: "We love you."

USA to all of the Russian-Ukrainian people divided up by war-banker, money-junky monsters who own all politicians in every country, as well as their brainwashed false-pride-patriot constituency—who are more in love with conflict and war than peace—“We The Overwhelming Majority on Earth HATE all of these bullshit wars and Love Humanity.”✌️❤️🗽

Aloha everyone,

Someone said we are created to Love people and to use things. But the trouble is we reverse this order so we end up by loving things and using people. We must learn to see people as people, not as things. We often commit the sin of dehumanizing people and using them as means to an end. Let us always love and respect people, not things. (Living in a Consumer Culture.)

Comparative Linguistics & Grammar. The English language vs. Hawaiian language.

English: possessive pronouns: his, hers, mine, ours, yours, theirs, whose.

Hawaiian: possessive pronouns do not exist in the Hawaiian language. Why? The concept of private property and personal property is alien to Hawaiian Culture. All “things,” are shared. Land and natural resources were shared. No one “owned” anything. The concept of “ownership” did not exist pre-western contact. Fact: Captain James Cook did not “discover” the Hawaiian Islands. Archeologists estimate Polynesians arrived here about 2500 years ago. The Western concept of “Real Estate,” displaced Native Hawaiians. This also displaced The American Indians of America.

I will stop writing now. I have been up all night. It's 6:15 AM Hawaii Time. Good night or good morning… Enjoy life..Lantern Inn.

Thank you, Larry!!

And this is so interesting. My friend Steven Newcomb also talks about the impact of the English language as opposed to, for example, the Lakota language.

Thanks for joining this important conversation. I appreciate the input about the language pronouns. I can also relate to the discovery situation because a claim is out there about Cristobal Colón “discovering” Puerto Rico-where my ancestors come from/ I was born. But that’s another topic.

I realized not so long ago that a way to acknowledge our shared humanity while doing business or simply interacting, is to greet everyone with an intentional choice of words. Like I always say “may this one find you doing well”, and then proceed to describe the reason for my communication. It seems simple but I like the feeling of being present while reminding myself how honored I am to exchange energies with a human. Enjoy life!

Our shared pain paves the path. I too, “believe that the point of the entire ordeal is to remember ourselves, to let go of all fear and become whole.” Feeling, rather than distracting ourselves from that pain has helped me navigate the circumstances they want us to accept as real.

Thanks for reminding us Tessa❣️

Wow - I can't even imagine what you went through. Incredibly traumatizing! I really appreciate your writings, and your message. Many blessings to you!

Thank you, Diane!! xoxo

Very strangely, this is not even the most dramatic adventure. I don't know how I managed to have had so many adventures but they taught me to be calmer about everything.

Tessa. You are brave. I bless you.

The two paths that suffering presents : the right hand path of compassion and courage to make things better because you know how awful the dark can be, or the left hand path of bitterness and anger and determination to clamour on top of everyone else to prevent your own suffering ever again. Suffering is the friction necessary for profound spiritual growth. It is the meaning of the fall from Paradise in the bible. The loss of innocence, and the experiences necessary for the maturing soul cast out into the world. The experiences of the dark and hopelessness of the Kali Yuga before the uplifting out of the deep that is the next turning of the Great Wheel of Time. It is the purpose of evil, and the meaning of free will. The double edged sword. You chose the Right hand path; it is the path of the Wounded Hero. The Wounded Hero is a powerful Creator; use it wisely.

Thank you, Donna!! It sounds like you and I have arrived as similar conclusions about the end point of suffering. It is education, and getting rid of it as soon as possible, in favor of real joy!

Yes. I think your heart , and my heart, are very old friends.

Very powerful, and oddly beautiful story, yet you're not a whiney victim. I appreciate that. I'll subscribe as soon as I can.

Thank you, Janice!!

I have found that victimhood is not very helpful, even when there is an attempt to perpetrate. it's more practical to be stronger than them.

Language is the expression of a Culture. Language defines & describes a Culture. For example, there are no swear words i.e. profanity in the Hawaiian Language. This true with American Indian Languages. Pre Western contact, Hawaiians spoke Oral Language, no written Language!!!

As the saying goes, if you want learn about a specific Culture, study their Language.

You give me hope that I can write. I love the way you meander. It's poetic. 💓

Expand full comment

Thank you, Gilly! I think I can't help being poetic. :) In the course of my life so far, I found that "information" is a great thing, but it tends to make people feel informed, and then often nothing happens. Poetic language moves something important in us, and I think that real change will come from that place in our souls that is poetic and pure. I don't know when, probably very gradually over a long period of time. But I am optimistic about the outcome, I think the soul is just there, and we can't avoid it forever. For a long time, yes, forever, no.
