    “Jung wrote, “… the experience of the Self is always a defeat for the ego.” Indeed, in those initiations by illness, loss or depression, when we are dragged into the underworld to pass through the gates of intensifying vulnerability, we are being stripped of our outer world clothing, prepared for to meet the indwelling Divine.”

    Recently discovered the author Toko-pa Turner and really loving her words:

    The difference between fitting in and belonging is that fitting in, by its very definition, is to parcel off our wholeness in exchange for acceptance.
    Toko-pa Turner

    It isn't enough to hear the call of our destiny; we must also cast out a story for ourselves, lest we be swept along by the one the world casts for us.
    Toko-pa Turner

    "There are many practices that can stimulate our reconnection to the instinctual self. Anything that involves us with the natural world—like digging in the dirt, walking in the woods, learning ancestral skills, eating food we’ve foraged or grown, and hanging out with undomesticated animals— can mirror for us how to get back to our own animal bodies.
    Toko-pa Turner

    The Second Coming
    BY WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS
    Turning and turning in the widening gyre
    The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
    Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
    Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
    The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
    The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
    The best lack all conviction, while the worst
    Are full of passionate intensity.

    Surely some revelation is at hand;
    Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
    The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
    When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
    Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert
    A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
    A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
    Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
    Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.
    The darkness drops again; but now I know
    That twenty centuries of stony sleep
    Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
    And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
    Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

    Quote Posted by Omni (here)

    "We are grateful to The Washington Post, The New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subject to the bright lights of publicity during those years. But, the work is now much more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national autodetermination practiced in past centuries."

    David Rockefeller, founder of the Trilateral Commission, in an address to a meeting of The Trilateral Commission, in June, 1991.
    It might be quite timely to re-visit page 1 of this thread. Certainly if you ever wondered how the world's MSM all seem to be on the same page..

    The above quote takes us back to the 1950's for goodness sake.

    "We are yet to approach the first moment of civilized understanding. The way it is to be done is by trusting yourself, trusting your intuition."
    "We’re talking about the fate of a whole planet. Why are people so polite? Why are they so patient? Why are they so forgiving of gangsterism and betrayal? It’s very difficult to understand. I believe it’s because the dominator culture is increasingly more and more sophisticated in its perfection of subliminal mechanisms of control. And I don’t mean anything grandiose and paranoid; I just mean that through press releases and sound bites and the enforced idiocy of television, the drama of a dying world has been turned into a soap opera for most people. And they don’t understand that it’s their story and they will eat it in the final act if somewhere between here and the final act they don’t stand up on their hind legs and howl."

    With power comes responsibility, and the more attuned we are in our power, the more we are held accountable as well.
    Fred Steeves

    Attunement, atonement, and at-onement are ONE – just as the inner self is that portion of the infinite. The self-will or personality is ever in conflict with the infinite within when there is the lack of what may be called stamina, faith, patience, or what not. Yet each individual, each soul, knows within when it is in an at-onement." Edgar Cayce Reading, 2174-3

    Sadly, no one is “medically trained” anymore. The Satanic Rockefeller family saw to that when they took over medicine and instituted pills as treatment for every ailment under the sun.
    Long gone are the days when Doctors told the truth, that your very bad diet was making you fat, which in turn was killing you. That your over indulgence in cigarettes, alcohol, etc was the problem, and the solution was to take responsibility for your own poor choices.
    We are not metallic constructs which require some oil changes and an occasional tire rotation.
    Our flesh and blood needs balance. Balance of nutrients, balance with nature, sunshine, fresh air, and interaction with others. (Healthy interaction. Not VR bull**** or some woke echo chamber catering to delusions.)
    Truth in general is gone, replaced with feelings. Feelings are not facts, but they sure are handy when trying to manipulate a bunch of idiots who cannot handle even the smallest slight without crying about it on some social media platform, and then smoking a bong, or taking a pill, drinking a fifth of booze, or eating an entire pint of ice cream or doing all of it.
    Whatever happened to “sticks and stones can break my bones but words will never hurt me?”
    Now, all the fragile little fluffy ones are saying words are LITERALLY violence, which anyone with more than 2 brain cells to rub together simply knows is utter nonsense.
    Sorry to say, but I don’t give a flying **** about your feelings. They are yours, go process them in a safe space but leave me out of it.
    I also don’t expect anyone to care about my feelings. Feelings don’t pay the bills, or build ****, or get product on the shelves.
    Feelings are for moms and dads and their kids. Feelings are for grandparents at their 50th wedding anniversary. Weddings. Funerals. Feelings are for couples who are falling in love, or breaking up.
    They are absolutely NOT for supposed government officials who are purportedly in charge of ****ing nuclear weapons.
    Feelings do not secure a border, or curb inflation. They cannot bring ships into port.
    They are also not supposed to be on display by short, megalomaniac scientists who are all pissy because a Senator wants them fired. You know who you are. The sky is embarrassed for you. Knock it off.
    Feelings are not for an old lady way past per prime trying to pretend some sort of physical beauty with her eyebrows up around her hairline, getting all snippy during a Presidents speech and ripping up paper like a 5 year old who needs a nap.
    This behavior is a country wide temper tantrum on a massive scale. All these babies WANT WHAT THEY WANT RIGHT NOW NOW AND STOP TELLING ME NO.
    Well, go get bent that’s not the way life works, and we are seeing the massive fall out of decades of humanity with PMS and no one in charge to give them a time out.
    Stop pretending like all of these morons matter, that their endless nattering like an out of hand mean girl means anything at all.
