A relative of a friend of mine came to the US from Europe specifically to get the Pfizer shot, since she didn't trust the European versions. (This was a while ago.) Several weeks later, she started suffering from mysterious pains that were severe enough to warrant exploratory surgery. Right before the surgery, her heart stopped, they revived her, and for some reason, they went ahead with the surgery. Her heart stopped again in the recovery room, and she died. She was young and healthy. My good friend's cousin, who was in her seventies and diabetic, also got the Pfizer shot, and within a few weeks, she started experiencing mysterious pains like the younger woman. Shortly afterwards, she also died. These are only anecdotes, but doesn't scientific inquiry start with anecdotes, or it did before this pandemic?
Anecdotally, I know of three healthy men who died of cardiac failure, one in his 30's who was opposed to the vaccine but had to get it to teach in an elementary school. I know of two healthy people in their 30s who've collapsed suddenly, with fingers clawed. No explanation from doctors.
But now an extremely healthy relative has been diagnosed with stage-4 pancreatic cancer and six months to live. We're all in shock, denial and deep grief. I know that's the nature of this cancer, to sneak up with no warning, but I'm still wondering if pancreatic cancers have increased since the shot. Any idea of how to find out?
My favorite cousin’s cancer were improving nicely, he was getting better and better - shortly after the shot (so that he would be allowef to receive his treatment) his condition quickly worsened, and he died… 😥
This site is by a group of doctors and medical scientists who have been providing evidence including the rise in cancers, especially those who were in remission. I personally know one person but he doesn’t have pancreatic cancer. This is the link to a protocol that may help clear the spike protein but there could be links to research on cancers there. https://worldcouncilforhealth.org/resources/spike-protein-detox-guide/
Thank you for this link! I am already taking some of these substances. Interestingly, my tinnitus got worse after my one and only Johnson and Johnson shot, although I actually caught Covid within two months of that shot, so it's not clear which caused the tinnitus to get worse. However, I came across a substance called Boscumin, which is a mixture of curcuin and boswellia, and it reduces the volume of tinnitus in 50% of its users. It is an anti-inflammatory, and according to your link, both substances can help get rid of spike proteins. It helps my tinnitus disappear entirely for days at a time. Hopefully, it is eating up any residual spike proteins, too.
Thanks for your response, Treelily. This has been a learning process for me but I think that pancreatitis is a different thing than pancreatic cancer. It seems, from what I've read, that pancreatitis is something that resolves, sometimes on its own.
But the answer to my question has been coming back relentlessly. Everywhere I turn, even when I'm not doing a search, it seems that Turbo Cancers have been the topic. Yesterday I talked to three people visiting with me. One woman's partner had Stage 4 pancreatic cancer that he'd survived for 2.5 yrs. Suddenly he had two new tumors in different places. I asked if that was after he'd gotten the vaccine and she said, "That had nothing to do with it" without answering my question.
Of the other couple, the husband had had a stroke that he barely survived. They are vaccine enthusiasts and have come back to the US (from Spain) to get them as early and as many as possible, even though he came down with Covid the day after and has only now recovered. I talked to the wife this morning about the stats, and got the usual conspiracy theories and 'who would want people dead? But at least I've done my part now, the rest is up to them.
I work in health and I am seeing some cancers progress rapidly in people that were jabbed, also some really unusual cancers. Pancreatitis can be short-lived or chronic and relapsing disease. It does not usually progress to pancreatic cancer but pancreatic cancer can cause a pancreatitis. I only mentioned it because off the top of my head I have seen VAERS reports of pancreatitis but couldn’t be specific about the cancer link. Wouldn’t surprise me though. People that have been jabbed and injured (or not yet injured) don’t want to know usually. I think it causes too much disconnect in their worldview and is too threatening. Very difficult situation.
Apparently there has been a significant increase in many cancers, respiratory illnesses and neurological problems. Officially I'm sure there would be data. Anecdotally doctors are seeing it.
Margaret Anna Alice kindly sent me to some links. I'll post them here for anyone else's benefit:
YES, the injections have been associated with the sudden emergence of all kinds of cancers progressing at a rapidly accelerated pace—a.k.a. “turbo cancer”:
Dr. Ryan Cole has been talking about this for a while, and Hospitalist Physician’s Assistant Deborah Conrad describes witnessing people whose cancer had been in remission for years succumbing to cancer so quickly after their injection, they didn’t even have time to get a treatment program together:
One of our clients suddenly developed an aggressive brain tumor that appeared out of nowhere and took her in a couple of weeks. I believe she was in her fifties and had spent her life eating incredibly healthy, doing movement therapy, and living an overall very wellness-centered life.
Regarding Ryan, here are a couple of links I rustled up from Steve:
I have similar stories of family and friends. No one dare blame the holy medicine though. It is beyond bizarre they cannot bring themselves to ask, “What changed”. One died the next day, one died four days later, and a third’s cancer, which had been in remission for years, returned with a vengeance and killed quickly.
So sad. Thank you for sharing. I just want to emphasize that anecdotes = evidence. I don't know when or how they discredit anecdotes, but it is the same as clinical evidence.
These days, professionals often discredit evidence that goes against the official narrative. In 1990, my normal-acting 18-month-old suddenly become autistic within a week. That same child suddenly developed severe migraine headaches when he was 5. That same child suddenly developed intense stomach pain and stopped eating at age 12 and couldn't eat normally for 10 months, surviving on liquid meal replacements. At age 18, he became seriously ill at school and couldn't walk for a few days. A very wise holistic doctor recognized that each one of these serious conditions developed immediately after my son received one or more vaccines. Do you think any traditional doctor would even make the connection? If you even bring it up, you are accused of being duped by conspiracy theorists. My son, of course, will never have another shot, and he got mild cases of Covid twice, without being vaccinated. He now has high levels of antibodies, which haven't waned as the months pass (he gets tested periodically), unlike the short-acting vaccines, which even Fauci admits last for only a few months.
Wow that's amazing that you eventually figured out the cause. I'm happy for you both. This reminds me of what Zach Bush talks about with the immune system. I found it super interesting, if you care to I suggest listening to one of his interviews.
The brilliant physician who made the connection was Dr. Jeff Bradstreet, who was shot to death in 2015 and found floating in a river, several days after the government raided his clinic. He treated many vaccine-injured autistic children, but alas, he was silenced.
OMG. I am so horrified. I heard about microbiologists dying in the hundreds in last 2 years. And of course throughout my recent career many other physicians/practitioners of all kinds who were either silenced or exiled. Do you know which branch of gov raided his clinic? And where did he practice?
I am not sure who raided and closed his clinic, but he practiced in Atlanta. He was experimenting with GcMAF and glutathione injections to boost the immune functioning of his autistic patients. The injections were expensive, but Dr. Bradstreet gave them to my son for free as part of his "ministry." His death was ruled a suicide, but that made absolutely no sense because he was a proud father and was about to announce the results of some of his research on the connection between autism and vaccines, which is, of course, a forbidden topic that will get a parent kicked out of an ordinary medical practice or get a doctor shunned by the medical community.
Thank you for writing this series. These conversations are so needed and so helpful in releasing the stress from the past 2 years. The expat community around me were the most afraid, due to losing their ability to travel and being separated from family. Whilst I understood their fear, I lost many people I thought were my friends as they feared me and sadly these relationships have yet to be rekindled. There's no energy or desire left to try. But I have to say what I have gained in the re-ordering of my community and discovery of online writers and like-minded people questioning and seeking answers, is what I had sought for a long time but didn't know where to find. I would not want to experience the pandemic again, but I am grateful for what I received because of it. I also think you showed tremendous courage in sticking your neck out and standing up for your beliefs. Thank you.
Yes. A million times yes. The endless mantra of Safety First has been a stifling straightjacket for my entire life - for most of us, save perhaps the most elderly. If safety is first, it follows that all else comes behind it in importance.
I wrote this to drive a stake through the heart of this evil doctrine, and I'm so happy to see you spreading the same message to your much larger audience:
"The subtle poison of "Safety First" is apparent in the slogan itself. If safety is first, it follows that it comes before all other concerns. Glory, honesty, joy, adventure, challenge, growth, strength, will, purpose, love, triumph ... none of them mean anything if they conflict with safety. The smallest risk of danger is enough for Safety First to interpose itself, to say no, you can't do that - it isn't safe.
"Safety First takes as its basic assumption that the purpose of life is to maximize the length of life whilst minimizing the suffering in life. He who lasts longest with the least booboos wins. The quality of life, the depth and breadth of experience that a soul encounters, is of no import. Indeed Safety First does not admit of the existence of a soul; it is a mindset that could only ever take hold of minds seized by the materialist doctrine that this life is all there is, that there is nothing but a yawning chasm of nullity beyond death, that experience itself has no meaning, and that the best we can do is to postpone the inevitable crossing of the River Styx for as long as possible. The absurdity of such a goal is obvious, albeit rarely acknowledged: what sense trying to avoid the unavoidable? What sense fighting a war doomed to defeat?"
I like the Burning Man slogan, "Safety third." It isn't unimportant. We shouldn't be reckless. But it isn't the most important thing in life, nor even the second-most important.
That's certainly a more balanced way of putting it, and I certainly agree that recklessness isn't good. Rhetorically, though, balance isn't always ideal. As in negotiating positions, if you start where you want, you'll end closer to where your opponent wants.
A fabulous example is the concept of "risky play" for children. . . it is an incredible study in what happens to humans when risk is removed. As the "safe" playgrounds of the 90s onward spread, the incidence and severity of childhood emergency visits ROSE!!! Humans were meant to test their physical and environmental (ie gravity) limits at an early age. Take away the ability to test those limits and learn them and the injuries are worse and more often. . .
Look up "Danish Kindergarten gone wild" and in 18 years of tree climbing, knife (serious Mora type bush knife) using, deep water edge nearby, braving all temperatures and weather conditions, the teacher only took one child to the hospital: because a parent ran over their foot with a car!!!
WE are so much more that we are led to believe. . . LET OUR PEOPLE GO!!!
My son went to a Forest School for several years. The official one was shut down because all the DCFS regulations are about safety codes in buildings. There are no safety codes for outdoors. The Forest school kept going in an underground rule breaking way until the pandemic - and it surprised me greatly that this group of teachers became seriously rigid about mask wearing, for kids, outdoors. We left the group because of the mask rules, but I heard they are still wearing N95 masks, in summer, outdoors.
Me too. But the good news is that I found another group of families and we made our own forest group for two years. My son is there this summer again and it's more than wonderful, and flexible, and so loving.
Ugh we experienced the same. I had to tell them “No, we won’t be masking in the forest, ever”, it was tolerated but the instructor had to take a deep breath during our conversation, the irony.
Good for you in having a wonderful boundary, and I'm assuming it worked? I didn't even try at that time, I slunk away and found a different group. I'm growing more courage by the day!
One of the things that most people are not talking about is the need for people to grow up. The state, and health authorities have set themselves up to be parents to the rest of us (those walking lock step and unquestioning) who are primarily acting like compliant children.
It's dawned on me more and more over the last few years that the core component to my public schooling was to instill obedience. I'm 34 now, and I can only imagine what that conditioning process is like these days in K-12 education. Not to mention college. It must be highly refined and effective.
Will you be (or have you been, since I've only recently come to your substack) talking about the role of education as one of the root sources of mass formation susceptibility? I have noted that often the most educated are the most asleep. And in that respect I am struck by the parallel to mass formation that occurred in New York with Orson Welles' "War of the World Broadcast". In my history of media course it was pointed out that the majority of New Yorkers who clogged the streets to leave the blazing city, without any physical evidence of smoke or fire, were the well educated.
In my exploration of this it strikes me that the primary purpose of education from pre-school on is to disconnect the child and then the adult from their somatic experience of reality in order to create malleable and compliant worker bees. Thus it is easy to frighten them, and once frightened they have an even more difficult time actually seeing the truth physically because they are stuck inside a brain already disconnected from the body.
Exactly! Yes. Disassociation from our bodies is paradoxically the essence of this age of materialism. The more trained one is intellectually, the more likely this is...the mind's thoughts are endlessly fascinating.
My 9 year old son and I have done this. We put mindfulness/awareness as number one. A sense of purpose generally floats as number 2 and then safety. But it seems like maybe with mindfulness and purpose we could actually throw safety out and replace it with beauty?
I like those. I think for me I would have respect for self first, then respect for others, and then yes beauty or joy or pleasure... I guess safety might then get lost in the shuffle, which is fine by me.
Sounds good. We put doing the right thing as number one, and then joy/fun/beauty as number two and we started to wonder if safety is even third, really, because there are others that you might need to fit in before that. But for a T shirt slogan it makes the point!
Let's see. The Asian Flu epidemic of 1957 killed from 1MM to 4MM globally and had a death rate about the same as COVID, 1/10%. I was in 6th grade that year and so probably got it along with the other shit kids used to get back then - mumps; measles; chicken pox - though not all at once. There were no lockdowns, school closures, vaccine mandates and I do not recall people even masking. You lived with it. But then our parents had grown up in the Depression and fought WWII (both of mine were officers and in the European Theatre). Flu was a cakewalk compared to the Nazis.
Fast forward to COVID in the era of Generation Snowflake. Need I say more?
Apparently all of us who kissed ass to the Fauci & Co narrative.
BTW I finally contracted COVID two weeks ago. So now I'm xxx plus herd immunized.
Time now to root out the monsters who created this and blamed it on the farmers market. Have you seen Fauci squirm like a worm on a hook when questioned by Senator Rand Paul?
Fauci is pure evil , he knows what he has done , he is part of a group who believe in Eugenics and has been for years , that mans at the core of it all hence he never gets touched that much , i think he is a psychopath who enjoys mass disease events he funds and helps create . I think we are dealing with a small group of psychopaths who formed a group and now control the world via who . It wont end well this . Its much much worse than people realise when 10 teams of scientists now claim their is Darpa nanotech in vaccines 100 % and even have the data on what nanotech it is . I think people are in for a major shock.
What makes us so vulnerable to their manipulation to begin with, you ask? The system we all live in, are raised in, whose parameters suffocate and enslave us -- capitalism. Pure and simple, although of course I don't mean mom and pop stores, I mean monopolistic capitalism, corporate capitalism, predatory capitalism, global capitalism. Unless we first acknowledge this, no amount of asking for even-handedness or lack of destructive reactivity will make a dent at all. It will not solve the problem, which existed long before Covid.
I think the best way out of capitalism is the UBI that so many fear. Yes it will be used to coerce people Chinese style IF we let it...but assuming there is still a way for regular folk to take back some power and demand major policy changes, I think a real, substantial, absolutely unconditional, basic income would change everything in a deep way. For example, whistleblowers would not have to fear destitution when they are fired for speaking up. No one would work for shit wages, and all kinds of necessary, unpaid meaningful work could be done according to the real inner desires of people. Yes there will be some freeloaders, but so what, aren't there always, but most people want to grow, succeed, blossom if they can.
I strongly disagree. UBI would make entire populations dependent on their governments, while simultaneously destroying people by taking away their motivation to work. We create ourselves through our labor. One needs only look at what's happened to many Native Americans on Canadian reserves to see what happens to people who are given money by the government to live on. It's destroyed them and their societies.
I think there's more going on with Native populations than just getting some money. Those receiving government money are the last few survivors of a centuries-long genocide. That takes a toll.
Not true: Indigenous people in Canada have never suffered genocide. And to be sure I'm not misunderstood, I have stayed on Native reservations in Canada, as well as traveled, hunted and fished with Native people. I have enormous respect for Native people and their culture. But the genocide accusation is a lie.
Maybe the most blatant aspects of genocide didn't happen in Canada, but there's still been cultural genocide, and there are those killings of children at residential schools. Are you saying it's all one big happy family except for that darn government money?
it would Janine but they are going to get people use to it and then weaker in some respect and then they will tie it into social credit and medicines and those in power in the west Love the chinese model and system , they stated this endlessly . The better solution long term is we bypass systems and we build a new humanity , grow food better and just drop this idiotic idea tech will liberate us and systems will , they never will as they are run by lunatics who think they are god,
the hits keep coming. one of the most important threads of this hyperobject we call the pandemic is how we view the cycle of life and death - short answer, we don’t. a society built on determinism and frankly keeping a steady supply of labor, is programmed to fear death (and revere ‘safety’) at all costs.
Steiner is much maligned these days for his eugenics planks but there is an incredible bit of writing some here may enjoy, Knowledge of Higher Worlds and It’s Attainment.
Wildly mystical but also very practical. In it Steiner explains how to gain unseen guides or mentors. One of the key exercises is to go into nature and observe both a ‘living’ and a ‘dying’ organism. And to harmonize our feelings or reactions to those two objects. I have practiced this and without giving too much woo to this thread, can say it has been a deeply magical instrument.
My point tho - is that there is a reason why he offers that as a practice. And Charles you’re hitting it beautifully here. blessings!
at this point in time, development is a bit of an uphill battle. kind of requires some alienation from the general populace, which is a tough ask, especially for an adolescent.
Yes, it can be an uphill battle. But I think it's possible, and even necessary, to exist in both worlds simultaneously. As Jack Kornfield says, "After enlightenment, the laundry."
This seems part of a broader theme for people in Western societies to define their identities in the negative rather than the positive: what they don't eat, what they don't do, what they don't support. Moreso than by what they actively stand for and what they do in the constructive, building form.
This does reflect an absence of purpose and connecting with it.
"The real solution is to fall back in love with the living world, to see it as a beloved not as a collection of resources, a waste dump, or an engineering project. Then we will not only survive; we will flourish, as one does when they are partnered with their lover."
Yes to this! Anyone who has experienced a convenanted commitment to an "other" knows that this is the only way.....the love affair to re-member. This love sees the "holy" in the other, as in a mirror, equal, mutual, reciprocal and calls forth its expansive generative power for more being. This union in love is not an acquisition but a benediction. It is conferred on two "others" who have run the course of their love through whatever it may have led them and have entered, transfigured at last, the holy ground of their being. We are all ONE in this Love that is All in all.

The absurdity of such a goal is obvious, albeit rarely acknowledged: what sense trying to avoid the unavoidable? What sense fighting a war doomed to defeat?"
I like the Burning Man slogan, "Safety third." It isn't unimportant. We shouldn't be reckless. But it isn't the most important thing in life, nor even the second-most important.
That's certainly a more balanced way of putting it, and I certainly agree that recklessness isn't good. Rhetorically, though, balance isn't always ideal. As in negotiating positions, if you start where you want, you'll end closer to where your opponent wants.
Bravo Charles!
Safety measures often make us LESS safe!!
A fabulous example is the concept of "risky play" for children. . . it is an incredible study in what happens to humans when risk is removed. As the "safe" playgrounds of the 90s onward spread, the incidence and severity of childhood emergency visits ROSE!!! Humans were meant to test their physical and environmental (ie gravity) limits at an early age. Take away the ability to test those limits and learn them and the injuries are worse and more often. . .
Look up "Danish Kindergarten gone wild" and in 18 years of tree climbing, knife (serious Mora type bush knife) using, deep water edge nearby, braving all temperatures and weather conditions, the teacher only took one child to the hospital: because a parent ran over their foot with a car!!!
WE are so much more that we are led to believe. . . LET OUR PEOPLE GO!!!
My son went to a Forest School for several years. The official one was shut down because all the DCFS regulations are about safety codes in buildings. There are no safety codes for outdoors. The Forest school kept going in an underground rule breaking way until the pandemic - and it surprised me greatly that this group of teachers became seriously rigid about mask wearing, for kids, outdoors. We left the group because of the mask rules, but I heard they are still wearing N95 masks, in summer, outdoors.
makes me want to weep. . .
Me too. But the good news is that I found another group of families and we made our own forest group for two years. My son is there this summer again and it's more than wonderful, and flexible, and so loving.
Ugh we experienced the same. I had to tell them “No, we won’t be masking in the forest, ever”, it was tolerated but the instructor had to take a deep breath during our conversation, the irony.
Good for you in having a wonderful boundary, and I'm assuming it worked? I didn't even try at that time, I slunk away and found a different group. I'm growing more courage by the day!
It worked! I said, “we won’t support anything that severs our relationship to our breath”. Keep on, courage is contagious!
One of the things that most people are not talking about is the need for people to grow up. The state, and health authorities have set themselves up to be parents to the rest of us (those walking lock step and unquestioning) who are primarily acting like compliant children.
It's dawned on me more and more over the last few years that the core component to my public schooling was to instill obedience. I'm 34 now, and I can only imagine what that conditioning process is like these days in K-12 education. Not to mention college. It must be highly refined and effective.
Yes, Charles.
Will you be (or have you been, since I've only recently come to your substack) talking about the role of education as one of the root sources of mass formation susceptibility? I have noted that often the most educated are the most asleep. And in that respect I am struck by the parallel to mass formation that occurred in New York with Orson Welles' "War of the World Broadcast". In my history of media course it was pointed out that the majority of New Yorkers who clogged the streets to leave the blazing city, without any physical evidence of smoke or fire, were the well educated.
In my exploration of this it strikes me that the primary purpose of education from pre-school on is to disconnect the child and then the adult from their somatic experience of reality in order to create malleable and compliant worker bees. Thus it is easy to frighten them, and once frightened they have an even more difficult time actually seeing the truth physically because they are stuck inside a brain already disconnected from the body.
Exactly! Yes. Disassociation from our bodies is paradoxically the essence of this age of materialism. The more trained one is intellectually, the more likely this is...the mind's thoughts are endlessly fascinating.
My cousin used to make T shirts that said "SAFETY THIRD". I love to brainstorm what might be first and second with my kids.
My 9 year old son and I have done this. We put mindfulness/awareness as number one. A sense of purpose generally floats as number 2 and then safety. But it seems like maybe with mindfulness and purpose we could actually throw safety out and replace it with beauty?
I like those. I think for me I would have respect for self first, then respect for others, and then yes beauty or joy or pleasure... I guess safety might then get lost in the shuffle, which is fine by me.
Good point. Does mindfulness and being present makes safety obsolete?
Sounds good. We put doing the right thing as number one, and then joy/fun/beauty as number two and we started to wonder if safety is even third, really, because there are others that you might need to fit in before that. But for a T shirt slogan it makes the point!
I love this! Ha!
Fabulous🥰
Charles, you make me laugh. Thank you!
"After all, the goal of life cannot be to one day go to your grave having been as safe as possible."
Tremendous Essay/series! Absolutely Tremendous!
Let's see. The Asian Flu epidemic of 1957 killed from 1MM to 4MM globally and had a death rate about the same as COVID, 1/10%. I was in 6th grade that year and so probably got it along with the other shit kids used to get back then - mumps; measles; chicken pox - though not all at once. There were no lockdowns, school closures, vaccine mandates and I do not recall people even masking. You lived with it. But then our parents had grown up in the Depression and fought WWII (both of mine were officers and in the European Theatre). Flu was a cakewalk compared to the Nazis.
Fast forward to COVID in the era of Generation Snowflake. Need I say more?
Which current generation is ‘Generation Snowflake’? I saw the same weak and compliant behaviour the last 2,5 years, from the youngest to the oldest.
Apparently all of us who kissed ass to the Fauci & Co narrative.
BTW I finally contracted COVID two weeks ago. So now I'm xxx plus herd immunized.
Time now to root out the monsters who created this and blamed it on the farmers market. Have you seen Fauci squirm like a worm on a hook when questioned by Senator Rand Paul?
Exactly, every current living generation is culpable. If our fathers and grandfathers were still here, they would be laughing at us….
Fauci is pure evil , he knows what he has done , he is part of a group who believe in Eugenics and has been for years , that mans at the core of it all hence he never gets touched that much , i think he is a psychopath who enjoys mass disease events he funds and helps create . I think we are dealing with a small group of psychopaths who formed a group and now control the world via who . It wont end well this . Its much much worse than people realise when 10 teams of scientists now claim their is Darpa nanotech in vaccines 100 % and even have the data on what nanotech it is . I think people are in for a major shock.
What makes us so vulnerable to their manipulation to begin with, you ask? The system we all live in, are raised in, whose parameters suffocate and enslave us -- capitalism. Pure and simple, although of course I don't mean mom and pop stores, I mean monopolistic capitalism, corporate capitalism, predatory capitalism, global capitalism. Unless we first acknowledge this, no amount of asking for even-handedness or lack of destructive reactivity will make a dent at all. It will not solve the problem, which existed long before Covid.
I think the best way out of capitalism is the UBI that so many fear. Yes it will be used to coerce people Chinese style IF we let it...but assuming there is still a way for regular folk to take back some power and demand major policy changes, I think a real, substantial, absolutely unconditional, basic income would change everything in a deep way. For example, whistleblowers would not have to fear destitution when they are fired for speaking up. No one would work for shit wages, and all kinds of necessary, unpaid meaningful work could be done according to the real inner desires of people. Yes there will be some freeloaders, but so what, aren't there always, but most people want to grow, succeed, blossom if they can.
I strongly disagree. UBI would make entire populations dependent on their governments, while simultaneously destroying people by taking away their motivation to work. We create ourselves through our labor. One needs only look at what's happened to many Native Americans on Canadian reserves to see what happens to people who are given money by the government to live on. It's destroyed them and their societies.
I think there's more going on with Native populations than just getting some money. Those receiving government money are the last few survivors of a centuries-long genocide. That takes a toll.
Not true: Indigenous people in Canada have never suffered genocide. And to be sure I'm not misunderstood, I have stayed on Native reservations in Canada, as well as traveled, hunted and fished with Native people. I have enormous respect for Native people and their culture. But the genocide accusation is a lie.
Maybe the most blatant aspects of genocide didn't happen in Canada, but there's still been cultural genocide, and there are those killings of children at residential schools. Are you saying it's all one big happy family except for that darn government money?
it would Janine but they are going to get people use to it and then weaker in some respect and then they will tie it into social credit and medicines and those in power in the west Love the chinese model and system , they stated this endlessly . The better solution long term is we bypass systems and we build a new humanity , grow food better and just drop this idiotic idea tech will liberate us and systems will , they never will as they are run by lunatics who think they are god,
A thousand times NO.
Thank you for writing on this topic!
Safety 3rd!
I am now thinking this way:
We don't need governments to tell us what's legal (as they break the law).
We don't need organized religion to tell us what's moral (as they behave immorally).
We don't need medical institutions to tell us how to be well (as they injure and kill us).
We need each other.
We have each other.
Look at the lively & deep discussions here.
the hits keep coming. one of the most important threads of this hyperobject we call the pandemic is how we view the cycle of life and death - short answer, we don’t. a society built on determinism and frankly keeping a steady supply of labor, is programmed to fear death (and revere ‘safety’) at all costs.
Steiner is much maligned these days for his eugenics planks but there is an incredible bit of writing some here may enjoy, Knowledge of Higher Worlds and It’s Attainment.
Wildly mystical but also very practical. In it Steiner explains how to gain unseen guides or mentors. One of the key exercises is to go into nature and observe both a ‘living’ and a ‘dying’ organism. And to harmonize our feelings or reactions to those two objects. I have practiced this and without giving too much woo to this thread, can say it has been a deeply magical instrument.
My point tho - is that there is a reason why he offers that as a practice. And Charles you’re hitting it beautifully here. blessings!
It all comes down to spiritual immaturity.
at this point in time, development is a bit of an uphill battle. kind of requires some alienation from the general populace, which is a tough ask, especially for an adolescent.
Yes, it can be an uphill battle. But I think it's possible, and even necessary, to exist in both worlds simultaneously. As Jack Kornfield says, "After enlightenment, the laundry."
This seems part of a broader theme for people in Western societies to define their identities in the negative rather than the positive: what they don't eat, what they don't do, what they don't support. Moreso than by what they actively stand for and what they do in the constructive, building form.
This does reflect an absence of purpose and connecting with it.
"The real solution is to fall back in love with the living world, to see it as a beloved not as a collection of resources, a waste dump, or an engineering project. Then we will not only survive; we will flourish, as one does when they are partnered with their lover."
Yes to this! Anyone who has experienced a convenanted commitment to an "other" knows that this is the only way.....the love affair to re-member. This love sees the "holy" in the other, as in a mirror, equal, mutual, reciprocal and calls forth its expansive generative power for more being. This union in love is not an acquisition but a benediction. It is conferred on two "others" who have run the course of their love through whatever it may have led them and have entered, transfigured at last, the holy ground of their being. We are all ONE in this Love that is All in all.
