OK, IMO the repeat of all the demolitions throughout "history" is obvious. We have noted just here on PA the patterns. Today is 9/11 again and it is Preposterous that people DENY the towers were dustified EVEN though it WAS RIGHT THERE on video. People whom I once respected through the years pull out the platitudes of the MSM (and DO THEY really believe it????) and lose me.

I have been sorely distressed for many years by people denying what I could SEE was obvious.

Then I saw the EXIT door. IT's ALL THEATER "Back there" and what matters is the EXIT.

There is a metaphor I have mentioned before from a piece "Butterflies are Free To Fly".

We are in a movie theater. First a few people wake up from the mesmerizing display on screen. They get up and walk into the lobby. Then groups form and reform all about "where are we?" ETC>ETC>ETC> on and on and on groups form and reform. There is seeming no end to the cliques and the fighting and the resets and reforming. One or two notice a sign EXIT. One or two open the door and walk out. They leave the theater.

OUTSIDE the lobby is where we create a life. Either we go along with the clique clacking resets in the lobby of the theatre of the absurd OR we take personal charge and WALK OUT! THERE WE learn how we manifest our PERSONAL experience. This is like the moment when someone yells FIRE in the lobby. WALK OUT!

the article illustrates it exactly.

i start my day looking over gab, p avalon, paul craig roberts, epoch, juditial watch, bannon, gateway pundant and the like. the msm is already in the ozone and i know that drill.

after seeing and reading all similar to the above, i must now settle down and write a song, or continue editing my musical hypnotta, in the hope i will somehow not be excluded by the woke, blue entertainment cult that will not endorse anyone with a mind of their own, and certainly not anyone who would identify with m a g a.
and what is that curse word? make- america- great- again.
yep that the horrible mantra we all need disavow. not NAZI. thats ok. but MAGA.

so some days I am able to clean my spiritual palette and begin. somedays not. either way, it all seems like fiddling while rome burns

I suggest seeing it, then putting your head in the sand for as long as it takes for it to sink in...
Normal consciousness can't take it all in, so a kind of identity crisis takes place.
Your consciousness has to expand, and your idea of who and what you are along with it.
It's like a new set of clothes at first.
Not at all comfortable, but eventually it stretches and conforms to your shape so that you gradually become accustomed to it.

onawah. yes doing my best.

does a thermometer record the temperature, or rationalize it?

[onawah]

A thermometer only records one measurement, human reality is meant to be multi-dimensional and encompass much more than that.

I listen to Joe Dispenza Testimonials with relish. These stories are delicious and present to me UNDER EVERYTHING that the world of things (bodies and environment) is malleable. The testimonials are of healing.

I hear in many words: "I went down a path of suffering." IMO "Losing my grip" took me through huge amounts of suffering. I went down so many rabbit holes of "knowledge" searches. I could never get to the bottom of these narratives. The stories just became more and more convoluted. I was a "dedicated" seeker. I dismissed the suggestion that seeking is never finding. These days I see so many going where I went before EXCEPT now the stories get even more outlandish. The history so fractured. It has now become more than I can bear.

Now I choose something different. Making that choice when it is DEFINITELY CERTAINLY intended redeems me as I do the work of changing the habit of being my (old) "self". IMO now it is TRULY a projection of a greater SELF and I am learning to work with my own material.

Meeriam Webster

Definition of redeem
transitive verb

1a: to buy back : REPURCHASE
b: to get or win back
2: to free from what distresses or harms: such as
a: to free from captivity by payment of ransom
b: to extricate from or help to overcome something detrimental
c: to release from blame or debt : CLEAR
d: to free from the consequences of sin
3: to change for the better : REFORM
4: REPAIR, RESTORE
5a: to free from a lien by payment of an amount secured thereby

the U.S. Treasury redeems savings bonds on demand

redeem trading stamps
c: to make good : FULFILL
6a: to atone for : EXPIATE
redeem an error
b(1): to offset the bad effect of
(2): to make worthwhile : RETRIEVE

I understand redemption to mean a kind of reshaping of our existence such that it is now leading to a destiny of true SELF value. Just because something is broken does NOT mean we cannot heal it! Honestly I feel we are all in the last best effort to take responsibility for our healing.
Listen to this story with awe at how we redeem what we know is ours to heal.

Acclimation.
We are used to a sanity rich atmosphere and it takes time to adjust.
Watch your breathing, slow your gate, adjust your expectations.
I'm going to say something that is a little berating.

Stop being so entitled.
Your world has been ripped from you, yes.
Stop clinging to it.
History is chock full of folks who have had their world ripped away from them.
Voting isn't coming back, we lost that.
The current regime will never step down from power.
Things will get progressively worse.
Totalitarian like.
If you do not stay one step ahead of what's coming you may very well not survive it.
Get right in the head.
Don't cling to the way you want things to be, be brave enough to see things as they really are.

And one last thing.
Get Rural.
It would be a pity to get stuck in the big city.

IMO we should all just embrace WOOWOO 100% and embrace we are in a LOVING Universe where we SIMPLY need to learn how to be supported! Jarrad Hewett has a grip for those losing theirs....

Some great posts.
stop clinging, good one, DNA.
Delight, your post reminded me of Plato's Allegory of the Cave.
We are forever adjusting to other ways of perceiving reality. Letting go of what we think/believe is true or real. Fear is surely a shackle..

PainterDoug, go gently. I really get how you feel, bro! But hey, it is ok not to create.
There is a lot of "stuff" in this world. I think these times are about dissolving; going inward.
Less is more.
Day by day.
Be Kind.
These are a few of my go-to sayings of late.

When laws and justice are seen to be not working, when obvious and blatant law-breakers run free to continue, without any investigation let alone punishment, it saps the core of good people everywhere. We've fought too many times to ensure our freedoms and our Constitution - and now the greedy portion of our population allows this to go on - so long as they are being given freebies or their beliefs are allowed to flourish. The longer it continues, the worse will be the eventual swing back to the original side of the scales. We'll see persecutions and worse come to play.

As a child we were taught, or should have been taught, that this is yours, this is mine, and this belongs to all of us. Today we have groups that believe they can overturn hard-working and decent people who fought for what they have, so that the products of this investment can then be shared with those who have nothing, because they did nothing. They took no chances, did not work 80 hours per week growing their "child" into a success.

When the harsh conditions of war passed, parents began babying their children and giving them everything without working for it. They allowed them to stay in the home long after Univ was over, and they loaned or gave them money when asked for. Now we are paying the price for that softness.

But don't worry, Nature will send us another horrible war very soon, and the scales will come back to balance.
What a race we are, we humans.

DNA/ I get the thrust of your comments. However, my world has not be ripped from me and I am doing fine. This is how I contribute to P A.
This is not just about me. I asked what others are feeling and seeing? who else is struggling?
stop being so entitled? to truth telling? to a sense of fair play ,to law and common sense and rational thinking? well then what, what then do we adjust to and how low do we set the bar ?
If I go to the bank someday soon and ask for my money, when they say , sorry its all gone, should i go ,hey dats cool ?

Bill feel free to end this post. I don't like the tone and temperature of where this is going and I will no longer make comment here .
I will leave it up to you.
thanks

Doug,

You might enjoy this? Edit to add: Glenn doesn’t divulge what he has discovered and he is getting a lot of heat for that (relatable) but I thought his comments about “you are not alone” might resonate. It’ll be interesting to see what he has concluded. And to anyone out there who feels compelled to chastise someone for their vulnerability? Shame on you! Try to exercise some empathy. Karma will ensure that there is no ear for you if and when you can’t cope.

I'm generalizing and I'm not talking about you or anyone in particular.
I love you bro.
I'm commenting about what I'm seeing at large in the context of the initial thrust of this thread.
And that is in my opinion we have to adapt.
People, humans have this thing where they refuse to believe horrible things have happened or are about to happen.
Denial is a big part of the human psyche and I'm trying to touch on this.
We have all of this information at our finger tips here, but there is a disconnect.
I'm simply trying to nudge folks into agreeing with the reality shared on this forum rather than that of your friends, relatives and neighbors.
Again I'm generalizing here.
Love you guys.

If I sound like an asshole it's because time is of the essence.
So pretty please, with a cherry on top, get ready for what's coming and that means getting your head right and to stop feeling sorry for yourselves.

The bank will stop giving money, public works will stop providing, no more heating, electricity, or clean water. Stores won't have food, gasoline won't be available and your house may become tool dangerous to stay. Plan for each contingency accordingly.

[thepainterdoug]

DNA/ We have always gotten along. but your answer was directed towards me. If not meant so , perhaps you could say, doug this is not directed at you, but to all concerned here. then proceed.
When you touch on "entitlement" regarding me? well the fact that we have computers and can chat away on P Avalon is in itself a mark of entitlement. We are all in a sense entitled to things like running water, food and transportation. Are we going to compere ourselves to the dark ages now? Is this not a capitulating to our defeat at the hands of these bastards! Im surprised no one mentioned my white supremacy on top of all!

And to the comment that its not important that I keep creating? well actually thats true, but then its not important that anyone keeps doing what they are doing as well .
stop making money, stop all your activities, there is too much making money and activities in the first place.. right?

No one with the exception of a few really know me here. I gave up all career, business and money making priorities for the privilege to make art and create music.
when you ask me to stop making art etc, you ask the birds to stop singing. , with a cherry on top.

anyway, im cool love you all. everyone is stressed. keep Avalon alive .
