"To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else – means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting." —e. e. cummings
Thankyou Charles. I don’t generally write comments but I wanted you to know that I love this new way you are putting out your writings.
My sister after resisting threats and mandates for all this time had made an appointment this week to surrender to get the medical intervention.
She called me Sunday and told me that she was cancelling her appointment and was never while she’s in her own power going to submit.
She subscribes here and she told me that your recent posts along with a podcast from Dr Jessica Rose really helped her come to this place. She sat with it and realised the only reason she was going to surrender was to please others which has been a repeating pattern in her life.
I thought you’d appreciate to hear.
We are resonating with you all over the planet. Thankyou as always for your work.
I don't get the critical comments, this spoke very much to my personal journey of staying sane amid the rampant gaslighting. I think you have to have had previous experience with narcissists maybe? I meditate every day to hang on to my truth and keep my inner sanctuary swept, dusted, and welcoming.
Back in the days when we all had record albums, we used to call people who could not see "the light" as being Stuck in a Groove. As long as they were listening to that same song over and over they couldn't hear any other music no matter what. Only if the needle skipped would they stop and pay attention to admit that something different was happening. Something Cosmic needs to happen to skip those needles!
I am a doctor in Egypt, I got Covid, got Immunity from it, and yet the government is trying to force all public employees to get the vaccine by the 15th of november and no citizen will be allowed in without a QR code proving his vaccination starting from the 1st of december, they don't even recognize my immunity, they called us then, heroes of the white army, and suddenly I have become a risk to public health, how should I keep coping with this?, the vaccine offered range between 50%-90% in efficacy against the original virus, god knows what their real efficacy is against the other variants, and all considered a proof of immunity, better than my actual immunity, tell me why should I continue living and serve in this disgusting community that refuses me, it is better to drink the cup of hemlock like Socrates, instead of trying to escape this society, and it is all the same everywhere now, I truly wish I had never been born
Sorry brother, but I don't think so. These brushstrokes are too big to support people past "their inner story of the separate self" into the heart knowing. This work will fan flames of fear and division. You once encouraged me to ask, "what is the most beautiful thing I can do?" This was wonderful. Greatly helpful. So now I ask you, what is the most beautiful thing that YOU can do? I really don't think this gesture (along with your recent "poking of the hornet's nest") is it.
Some readers' comments seem unnecessarily irrational, spiteful, sarcastic, and evasive. I'm hereby willing to make the *guess* regarding the likelihood that every commenter on this page who is experiencing difficulty with the clarifying words (offered by Charles Eisenstein in this article) apparently is a person who has swallowed the fake "deadly" *c_____* scamdemic hoax propaganda? And perhaps, then, too, has received the quackscene-jabby?
And of course, you (your false, unconscious, socialized, braintrashed, un-woke ego-mind identity) would rather pretend that clear, centered, sovereign persons such as C.E. --- persons who did not get sucked into the Fauci-Gates boogeyman fairytale/horror story --- are somehow to blame for the health-and-life-endangering position that you have allowed yourself to be lured into by consenting to the corporate fascist jab?
Perhaps THIS unwillingness to accept complete self-responsibility in regard to gaining and sustaining a connection with your own innate soul intelligence and integrity is the very crux of your taking issue with the clarifying, empowering, & liberating gift of perspective presented in the article?
Perhaps not until you, or I, or any other has learned to cling to innate soul-self-guidance/integrity "as if our heart-mind has teeth," can we ever expect to be whole, mature, or at peace in this insane asylum curriculum of earth?
We are now in the late innings of this mad, media-fabricated game; as such, the whole truth regarding the criminally falsified nature of this event is now leaking out through many levels of media, as the slower minds are finally putting the pieces together.
To be a hippie, i.e., to be "hip," is to have awakened to one's own H.I.P. --- one's Holy Inner Presence --- thereby to re-discover one's true life authority, as well as one's untainted universal identity in pure awareness...far beyond the societal/ideological games of fearmongering propaganda & fear-induced control.
"What if I'm making a big deal out of nothing? What if this is going to all blow over soon? Have I gone down one too many counterculture rabbit holes? It looks so peaceful and easeful to comply. Am I the crazy one?".
I hold these questions as a possibility - I feel I must .. this rigorous practice of discerning between beloved ideology (new or old) and reality feels like civic duty.
WTH? When i first read this i thought it was a simple & wise suggestion to stop blaming others for the loss of our, well, souls. That we ourselves give our souls up a slice at a time in doing and saying things we don't believe in order to get what we want and keep what we have. But the commenters seemed to know something i don't know, that it was about something else, something to do with politics, with covid, with the vaccine. WTH? I tried to make sense of that. I went back to Charles' post. Is he saying something cryptic that i am too naive to decipher? Is he saying that the anti-vacciners are right, that they should follow the call of their souls to not be vaccinated? Or is he saying that those who judge or condemn the anti-vacciners are losing their souls by losing their humanity in such judging? Or does it have nothing at all to do with covid? Is it a Rorschach test? I felt sane when i entered the room, felt the post was a simple & wise call to sanity based on self-knowledge and self-responsibility, and that if we practice those virtues we will organically do what is best for ourselves and for others. From all i know of Charles, i just can't imagine he is intentionally dropping something cryptic or mystical which we are left as individuals to tweeze out for ourselves, thereby adding to the division as we follow our separate impulses. I would appreciate clarification, but i don't depend on getting it. My overriding urge right now is to see the post as a reflection on how we blame others and circumstances and necessities for our loss of our souls or our selves, when we ourselves are responsible in our choices and our actions, and the confusion i'm feeling comes not from Charles but from (what i see as) the competing interpretations of that simple essential insight.

You know what Charles, this is your place, if I was you, I would write whatever the fuck I wanted to. Keep it up. All the best.
I don't get the critical comments, this spoke very much to my personal journey of staying sane amid the rampant gaslighting. I think you have to have had previous experience with narcissists maybe? I meditate every day to hang on to my truth and keep my inner sanctuary swept, dusted, and welcoming.
I’m so glad that you decided to continue to write! Your writing keeps me sane!!!

Wow. You're my hero. Truly a hero of our generation. Keep going 😊

You've helped me up-level my compassion towards those finding themselves sucked into the abyss of insanity, prisoners in their own citadels.
It starts slowly with little compromises and then ramps up, yes.

Painfully true and all too common.
Thank you for this road map.
I've come to regularly check my state of mind:
"What if I'm making a big deal out of nothing? What if this is going to all blow over soon? Have I gone down one too many counterculture rabbit holes? It looks so peaceful and easeful to comply. Am I the crazy one?".
I hold these questions as a possibility - I feel I must .. this rigorous practice of discerning between beloved ideology (new or old) and reality feels like civic duty.
There are so many beautiful layers to this post. The comments emphasize it’s beauty.
