Happy Mothers’ Day to All Mothers including our Mother Earth . . .

May 8, 2022

And as Celia Farber notes, you don’t have to bear a child to hold, and to express, mothering energy.

This morning, prior to brunch with son Colin, on my walk through the IU campus, I found myself yelling Congratulations! to the proud young ones in graduation robes, and Happy Mother’s Day! to their proud parents — broad smiles and thanks all around. Hard to say which generation appreciated my admiration more. . ..

 

 

Larken Rose on current (covid) tyrannny: NEVER FORGET!

May 7, 2022

This brilliant video begins with a precise, extended, eight-minute articulation of historical precursors to the psychopathology that infects those who have proved susceptible to the covid tyranny these past two years. (Otherwise known as mass formation, or hypnotic spell.) Unfortunately, the video will not attract those who are still infected; in fact, those few who do manage to listen, despite internal squirming, to the first eight minutes, will then be forced to recognize, likely with a jolt, that Larken Rose is speaking to them! — and so instantly and furiously shut it down.

However, this amazing video may serve to help some of us “purebloods” more fully understand and articulate the psychological and relational specifics of the strange, polarized world we are living in. And, I would add, it may insert possible moments of opportunity when someone who has been indoctrinated into the infection sees you as the enemy.

Everything depends on whether your loving response to their vitriol helps them to admit that you are actually a serious person, of equal value to their own self-assessment! If so, then, this exchange might help the one infected fall into the cognitive dissonance required to begin to “wake up.”

I see “cognitive dissonance” as the moment when the internal tide shifts. Roiling currents collide; and yet the pull of the Moon inexorably harmonizes the scary confusion into a unified force moving in the opposite direction. (Or as we say: blue pill to red pill.)

So, though we cannot force anyone to break the covid spell that has them caught, we can respond to their automatic hate (projected fear) with loving, compassionate concern. The result? Cognitive (and emotional) dissonance, the turning of the tide.

P.S. I do wonder how Larken Rose is still on youtube! And now that I’ve discovered him, will pursue more.
