    This is the most extreme doomsday scenario I have ever come across.

    And anybody here believes that an appeal to the authorities will turn this show around?
    Ah, yes, our beloved leaders, who have already booked their 5 star underground apartments...I think not.

    Looks to me like the Village has a new assignment, namely to create an alternative timeline. ASAP.
    Everyone creates their path and some of the paths meet up.
    Part of what Lorie Ladd (vid below) talks about is what I’ve lived and actively worked on since the mid-80’s. Before that, when I moved into my first apartment at 18 years old, it was one-foot-in-front-of-the-other. I never gave a thought that it wouldn’t work out. All I needed to do was call up the courage. Each success was built upon the accumulated successes. Yes, there were rocky patches. Every time I reached deep, I was rewarded with safety, success, security and/or solace. (to name a few)

    I suspect I had invisible helpers too. A BIG thank you to All. No doubt that inner voice, inner knowing was sometimes You or Higher Me.

    We innately know to stop time, be present, see what we see. We’re creator beings. It’s time to turn off the noise, pay attention to what pops onto our screens, or the whispers, or the heart, or the gut, or the…

    I am reminded once again, now, it’s time to take it up a notch.

    This Is How We Ascend (10:43)
    Lorie Ladd
    “A lot of us are becoming embodied. We’re moving back into our bodies over and over and over again..." "...we thought we were in our bodies. We’re really now entering in and we’re deeply grounding into our physicality. And when we do that we feel a lot more. It’ll feel like you've got a thin skin. Everything’s bothering you. Emotions are high. You’re irritable. You’re frustrated. You're tired… “

    “The only way we really deeply feel is by being inside the body. And the reason most of us are not inside for most of our lives is because we don't like to feel the pain, the uncomfortable, even physical pain. So we find ourselves in our minds or even outside the body.

    “Many of us courageously feeling pain, emotional pain, physical pain, mental pain right now. Why? It’s the natural process of ascending into higher states, higher frequencies. Your body is going from lower to higher, lower frequencies to higher frequencies. And when that happens the natural process is that anything that is denser than the frequency your body is shifting into has to be seen, felt, and released.”


    Number One:

    Be the observer in every now. How often are you observing? You detach from labeling yourself. That's what the observer does. You're observing. You're observing. You're observing. I am feeling. I am thinking. I am doing. I am not those. So be the observer.

    Number Two:

    Stay present. Stay in the now as often as you can. Don't try to search. Don't try to become enlightened. Don't try to ascend. Don't try to shift into a higher states of consciousness. Just be present. Because if you try to shift out of the present moment and there's bugs biting you.... (metaphor explained earlier)

    Stop trying to become anything other than who you are right now because that is good enough. It's always been good enough always.

    Number Three:

    Remember that this is how you evolve. You evolve by staying present. You evolve by feeling the bugs. You evolve by courageously looking at what comes up. That's how you evolve. That's how you shift. That's how you ascend.

    Number Four:

    This is funny. Tell yourself that you can courageously do this. Bring it on. I’ve got this. Where are the bugs. Bring on the bugs... {snip}

    The world needs us, now more than ever, and when people of like-minded characteristics congregate then much can be done, as long as there is unity of vision.

    My thanks to Yoda for sending this along. It’s been awhile since I viewed, but it’s front and center as I research about the gene altering jab. I've downloaded it in case it goes poof.
    “After listening to Catherine Austin Fitts, I finally realized that the whole purpose of the fear/plandemic was to get people to take the jab (at all cost). I found a 10 min. briefing, to the pentagon, elaborating a virus program, to inject people, with an injection to eliminate the God Gene (VMAT2). It would eliminate the religious fervor and help transhumanism.”
    GOD GENE - VMAT2 VACCINE- "KILLING SPIRITUALITY”
    Pentagon to kill “God Gene”.
    Leaked Pentagon video with supporting news articles and documentation.
    A hoax? You Decide. Who know, they may be using it on Americans.

    CONFIRMED: NO ONE HAS DIED FROM ANY COVID VACCINE

    NOTE: I’m adding this 12 minutes vid as a good example of how manipulation and lies are used to fool people that don’t have the time to research and/or watch mainstream media.
    The propaganda is so thick you can cut it with a knife. It kinda makes you wonder if nearly everyone who peddles this **** is on the CIA and/or big pharma payroll.

    this is true .. as reported, i'm in the "Thick" of it ... most of my life i have processed for others and doing so for me now has proven most challenging and at times unbearable

    i asked why this is so? etc

    many answers came ... one the universe always seeks balance .. one cannot live a life giving giving giving without reciprocity either intentionally chosen or situations WILL be presented that provide the "NEED" as catalyst so that nurturing is now returned ...

    i will remember to choose next time ... seems i could have come up with a "lighter" catalyst myself ... just sayin' ...

    two .. we are providing a service for mankind ... as we SINK into the experiences of pain etc ... AND use the wisdom of our soul to ascend AND transcend ... it counts for ALL humanity ...

    part of this NECESSITATES the pain being almost unbearable and feeling REAL .. (i have likened it to an emotional rape without seeming end) because if we were operating from our inner KNOWING that this is an illusion and the level of non attachment some of us have worked hard to attain? it wouldn't be quite the same

    almost the NO PAIN
    NO GAIN scenario

    but more along the lines like our incarnation on the planet gave us certain RIGHTS to aid and support humanity?

    ok ... the EXPERIENCE of this pain AS PAIN is the "price" (for want of better terminology) to provide the relief for humanity .. kinda like it counts BECAUSE it FELT SO REAL


    those that come cross paths during these times are "given" the opportunity to plant seeds they themselves will "reap" one day

    both those who respond
    And those who do not

    that's just the way it is
    and i've never known there to be "exceptions"

    it crosses our path?
    we are response-ABLE FOR the response we give or withhold

    its hard to articulate the understanding, KNOWINGS but hope my clumsy attempt somehow communicated a bit of what i was "given"

    again deeply appreciative for all support offered it was gratefully received

    i learned long ago ALL experience ALWAYS serves BOTH parties

    one cannot have compassion flow THROUGH one's SELF unselfishly towards another without experiencing the healing balm one''s self

    we are sort of like pipes
    what flows THROUGH us
    IMPACTS us as well


    like if we flow mud through us?
    it is impossible for us to avoid getting "muddy"

    We should defend our way of life
    to an extent that any attempt on it is crushed,

    so that any adversary
    will never make such an attempt in the future.

    Yep. Voluntary suffering is better than passivity and then getting it dumped on you when least expected. Also the law of reciprocity. As Gurdjieff used to say:” One hand wash other”.

    NOTE: I’m adding this 12 minutes vid as a good example of how manipulation and lies are used to fool people that don’t have the time to research and/or watch mainstream media.
    The propaganda is so thick you can cut it with a knife. It kinda makes you wonder if nearly everyone who peddles this **** is on the CIA and/or big pharma payroll.
    I can't even watch this video - the stupidity of this world has me embarrassed to be a human.

    If we were advanced to the point where we were travelling the stars at our leisure, I would get fake I.D. to pretend that I was from a different planet.

    I am really getting to that point. I went out today and there was a parent of a child that was barely able to walk on their own - and the parent had a mask on the little child. They were walking on the side of the street. And this is not a busy street either, it is a small town - small! That parent should be happy that they live out here and be happy that their child can breathe this nice clean spring air! But instead, they have the child masked-up!

    Maybe they want to ensure that their child has brain damage so they don't end up being smarted than their parent!

    I don't know how accurate this snippet I picked up earlier via the Twitterati is, but, strap yourself in, it's a real zinger:

    Apparently, the UK's C.h.i.e.f M.e.d.c.a.l O.f.f.i.c.e.r, yes, you read that right, has apparently stated that Aspirin causes blood clots Gads. Which planet are we on again?

    On the bright side it's saved a whole bunch of us a lot of time and effort in exposing these fraudulent crooks when they seem perfectly capable of doing it for themselves. They should all be publicly pilloried.

    At least, for those of us who haven't put our health and our bodily autonomy in these peoples hands, can now declare some vindication for pursuing our own choices.and now have evidence that even the most senior so called clinicians have finally lost the plot entirely.

    Satirists would have a field day with these idiots and I hope they're sharpening their pens, and mousepads.

    I share your frustration, Patient. I wonder if it’s because of oxygen deficiency. IQ’s are being snuffed out. I see a lot of crazy and sometimes impulsive behaviors.

    Last night a car tore across the soggy lawn leaving deep tracks in the wake. The house shook. It was dark, but I surmised the driver tried to out run a competitor but a telephone pole called the race. Several cars took hits and traffic was backed up for miles on the main, two lane road. No electricity for 249 customers for several hours while they devised a makeshift solution. And again this morning customers were inconvenienced while the power company changed out the telephone poll and rewired the cables. I counted at least 10 utility vehicles on the scene.

    I don’t have a need to go out and about, so when I do I see how the energy has changed from week to week. It’s at warp speed levels. Bodies with darkness that surrounds. Empty eyes that quickly look away. Most keep their heads down and walk as if fitted with blinders.

    Last week a young lady came up to me with a question of which yeast is better for baking. It wasn’t so much the words we spoke, I felt the energy exchange. It still lingers even a week later as I recall the telling. A real life connection or is it a real live connection? Both.

    I make it a point to say good morning to everyone I pass. Some are a bit startled, others gladly reciprocate. Much sadness and worry out there. I understand why. I welcome the Winds of Change to cleanse and awaken our brothers and sisters.

    UPDATE: it turns out that two telephone poles took a beating. The large pine trees blocked my view. That explains why so many utility trucks were there.

    Folks, today is one of those days. I'm going to edit myself, my tongue in cheek humor mixed with legitimate annoyance doesn't come across well over the internet. It makes me sound like a rampaging lunatic. My fellow American's annoy the **** out of me sometimes. Almost as much as ****ty Samsung products that fail when you are really in a shoddy mood because you pulled (or something) your IT band and you can't sleep due to the constant pain. And your cat wont shut the **** up and you have to hobble around to see what the **** she wants. Americans are my countrymen and I love them, but they annoy the **** out of me. Sometimes.

    The only thing worse is foreigners who want to point out American flaws. Eat my ass you morons. I once witnessed an Irishman give a review of Florida food. He went to ****ing chain restaurants! How dumb can you be? Good job moron. Is all of Ireland stupid or is it just him? He was highly educated and had a lucrative job. The annoying **** in America are things you don't see until you've lived here for several decades and have to deal with things that should be minor, but they become major. Because we are incompetent morons. Sometimes. This includes me, sometimes. But you're no better, your country sucks too.

    I play this song in jest, not in a mellow dramatic way. My friends and I jokingly sing it when a football rival gets crushed.


    Rant over.

    Rant heard, Strat.

    As stated on the “Happy St. Patrick's Day to all” thread:
    My brother and sister sent off their DNA to separate ancestry companies. Both came back 98% Irish.
    Based on the accomplishments from the family of eight kids and parents, and that some are highly educated and had/have lucrative jobs, I can attest that not ‘all Irish are stupid'. It also extents to the Clan of grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. Most important...many are BIG hearts.

    That said, I share some of your frustrations. It's a worldwide problem.

    For you:

    Don't take it personally, though that may be an ignorant thing for me to say. In some sense I am a fear biter and I can understand why people don't want to hear from me, nobody likes getting bit. It takes a particular type of person to understand and tolerate such a personality. I'll try to stay out of the 'general discussions' when I'm upset in the future. Much love

    I give that rant an 8.5 on the Strat rant scale. It was pretty damn good. But then again I'm more Scottish than Irish, so I didn't take much offense.

    You should start a Strat Rant thread. I'm deadly serious. I think it would be great. We need a space here just for rants. I'm sure I'd use it frequently. In fact, if you don't start it I may do it for you

    A rant thread would make it clear it's a rant, no explanation, discussion or apologies necessary (within reason). I think it has potential, too. Diane
