What I'm going to share here stems from reading and synthesizing a great number of articles from the news and various blogs, and especially personal posts from the forums of those websites regarding the current Corona Virus outbreak and its ramifications. Almost everyone on those threads has contributed material that helped me to crystallize something deep within me that may be useful to share with others. I do want to thank all of these anonymous people for sharing portions of their souls and struggles that resonated very deeply within me.
There is a question many on those forums have asked of themselves lately: if it really comes down to it and things get pushed to - or beyond - the limits of sanity, do I have a 'line in the sand' that I will not allow myself to be pushed past, whatever the cost?
When I encountered that question for the first time I had a very visceral reaction: I first felt overpowering anger, then sadness; then I had a physical, shuddering release accompanied with tears, followed by what I can only describe is an internal resolve that there really is something, or some things, that I will not consent to even if death were the punishment for resisting. But nothing concrete came up for me right away, so I meditated on what it was that caused my reactions.
Over the last few days I realized that I have at least two such lines. The first: if our government (in the USA), whether state or local, rescinded the second amendment and demanded people give up their guns - and then threatened to remove them by force, if necessary - I would resist. This would be a violation of the Bill of Rights; but moreso, it would also be a fundamental violation of the divine right each loving, caring human being has to self-preservation and protection of their loved ones. I would heed the lessons of Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn (Gulag Archipelago) in the face of such tyranny, were it ever brought to my front door:
"And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The organs of the state would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more - we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward." (2)With that realization I identified the source of some of the anger I felt originally. But there was no sadness with the recognition of that first line in the sand, just a firm resolve. However: I still felt a LOT of anger, as well as that deep sadness, and even helplessness to a degree. There was something even deeper still to dredge up.
Then I remembered what many have been saying about forced vaccinations.
Before I continue, I should give a little personal background information. I have a Master's degree in Microbiology and Genetics. I got that degree while working in a Level II biohazard lab in a doctoral level program. It was an anthrax lab. I worked in concert with the biowarfare division of a prominent National Laboratory. My project was funded by a three-letter agency and was ultimately signed off on by a former high ranking elected official.
While there, I had many experiences that convinced me the biowarfare field was just not for me. I left with a Master's and went back into Environmental Toxicology, the field I still work in presently. But what I learned there was absolutely crucial for my later, and current, understanding.
The anger immediately surfaced when thinking about mandatory or forced vaccinations, along with feelings of righteous indignation. Where did that come from? Was it warranted, I asked myself?
The anger and resolve I felt immediately upon asking myself that question, as well as the waves of disgust that arose (some towards myself), served as a personal positive affirmation: forced vaccinations are an evil more than worthy of resistance, because:
- I believe that I have accumulated enough knowledge and background over the last twenty years of intense study to understand what vaccinations really are: they are a violation not only of the human body, but of personal sovereignty - and especially, this: they are a fundamental, parasitic, intentionally invasive attack not only upon the physical body, but also upon the conscious understanding of how the human immune system actually works. (For an in-depth discussion of the truth of vaccines and what they are - and are not - I highly recommend the book of Dr. Suzanne Humphries, Dissolving Illusions.) (3)
The supposed benefit of vaccines has been deeply ingrained not only within doctors, but through them the masses due to an incremental, systemically enforced indoctrination of medical students who have been forced to learn and regurgitate reams and reams of rote material in lieu of critical thinking and problem solving skills. They then apply what they have memorized to try to solve illnesses without ever actually doing one iota of personal investigation into those who taught them, or how the information they learned was acquired, or how (and by whom) it was accepted as official dogma - or even by asking questions about the failings of their teachings when their 'applied knowledge' can not help their charges.
And these arrogant jerks who think they know better than me want to stick me with their damn vaccinations in order to make sure we are all 'safe' due to this fallacy called 'herd immunity'? What the hell good is herd immunity when the very vaccines you are given make YOU a possible agent of infection?? (4, 5, 6, 7)
Go To Hell
Some more background. I had a very challenging childhood, as many of us do. I was born when my parents were very young. My father did not want me and he never spent time with me. He was also a violent alcoholic. But I learned a lot from that childhood. I learned how to be present in every single moment because I had to be able to tune into how my father felt the entire time that I was around him. I had to know what I must do in order to be 'safe' around him so I didn't get yelled at or beaten. I learned that I could never let my attention waver, not even once, or I would suffer. It was as if I lived on the doorstep of death, forever standing on the edge of the yearning void, and I had to learn how to stand in my own 'I Am' presence in order to stave it off.
So why do I feel so much anger, sadness, and helplessness when considering the possibility that mandatory or forced vaccinations may be coming down the pike?
Because I know what they are, and what the goals of those promoting them are, and that those who would be tasked with forcing them upon us are people who have accepted what they have been told without ever once even questioning what they have been told to believe. But I know also that those same people, had they been presented the truth from the start, would never try to force their will upon us because they are essentially good people. That is what I find so frustrating, and why I feel so helpless. What can one do when those around you are trained not to question anything that they are made to learn? But also this: is the fault really with them? Or with the system that trained them, and those who have made it so?
The anger I feel, however, is real. Because I have spent so much time trying to understand not only vaccines, but reality in general, and how we have all arrived at this time and space.
I have earned what I know. Yet to have a bunch of psychopaths force otherwise caring people to enforce their nefarious agendas upon me, possibly to my death, because they have been made to believe fundamental lies about reality by the corrupted media and education systems which they equate with the gospel of truth? And which they would enforce upon me to all of our supposed 'betterment', when it is really I who knows the real truth because I have put in the time and effort into knowing what it is? And all because these otherwise good people never once thought to question what they were told, even though on some deep level it must have made them uneasy, if they actually had a soul and allowed themselves to feel their way to truth instead of staying locked in their programmed minds?
I will stand against this with all of my being. I will hold the line and stand against the void
And I say this with every bit of feeling that I hold within me.
This is who I Am.
I earned my knowledge. I do not deserve to have to deal with people so fundamentally misinformed, when I know that had times been different they could have benefited from what I have to teach.
Is this what it means to 'grow a soul'? To find a truth so real to yourself that it can not be denied, even to your potential death, were you forced to recant it? Is this like the truth that Giordano Bruno knew that he could not deny or recant before he was burned to death? Because if this is so, then I am there, right now.
I earned this, and I will not be denied my truth, even in death, if it comes to that.
But I also know this: if they do come for me, I will stand as Gandalf stood against the Balrog in the mines of Moria. I will not waver. I will be present in each and every moment. I will try to do better than Gandalf did, and not relax my attention even one moment - which is ultimately what allowed his enemy to take him down with him into the abyss before Gandalf was beyond his reach, as he looked away too soon. But even then: when Gandalf fell, because of who and what he was - he became more than who he had been. He was true to his charges, and to himself, so he returned from the abyss an even better version of who he had been.
I believe that if one can stay ever present in each and every single moment, even in the times of greatest adversity - a way will open; a door will become visible, where one can find shelter and sustenance. I believe this with every fiber of my being. But I also know that to be so vigilant at this level of reality may not be a possibility. But so what: that does not mean it can't be tried. And if you fail? If you have been true to yourself and yours, and been all that you can be, then it doesn't matter. You have crystallized your soul.
There are several lessons that 'Gandalf in Moria' have given me beyond what I just shared:
The first is: my biggest enemy is me.
It is up to me to be present in each and every moment. It is up to me to discern what the truth is, at all times. I must learn to understand and live my I Am' presence, and trust my innate knowingness. If I am always present with my thoughts, I will not betray myself. No enemy can penetrate my space, ever, if I am vigilant - and I am the only one to blame for a lack of same.
But I also know this: no one is ever perfect, especially in this world. To be eternally vigilant is an enormous and impossible task in this reality. I know that I may fail. And it is then that I must master the one thing that I have found hardest to master for myself when that happens: I must learn to forgive myself. Always.
And the last thing I have learned, just recently: I can not expect to ever know all of what I need to know, and what I need to face, by doing it alone. I need to share with others who are on the same path, who are equally vigilant, and who are equally committed to knowing the Truth. And the Truth is what I, and we, must always try to discern, in each and every moment. Always, and forever.
This knowledge, I earned. Yet I do not know if it is complete.
I know I've thrown a lot of I's in the above passages. Especially in regards to saying over and over again that the knowledge that I have, 'I earned'. For some, that might seem like a self-serving endeavor - and it could be - except for this fact: every single thing that I learned for myself, I have tried to share with others. Every single thing.
Remember that video after 9/11 when Colin Powell thrust a vial in the air, saying that it was anthrax and that Iraq had biological weapons of mass destruction, and we needed to go in there to stop them? America invaded Iraq based on those assertions.
After the second invasion of Iraq (the first being the first Gulf War), in the end the only thing that United Nations inspectors found re: 'biological warfare agents' were some vials of Bacillus thuringiensis, an 'anthrax-related bacteria'. Which is true; it is in the same family of organisms (along with Bacillus cereus, often found as a causative agent of food poisoning). But: Bacillus thuringiensis has been used for a long time as an agricultural agent, often sprayed to destroy moths and other insects that infest certain crops. And it is (mostly) harmless to humans in that form. The warmongers in the US and UK never found any weaponized bacteria there; the entire invasion was based on a LIE. But because Bt is related to anthrax, no one cared - even though there was never any threat. (8)
That series of events made me wake up to the lies, and also to my own involvement: I have benefited materially from the 'Iraq has biological weapons' meme, as I got my degree because of the supposed 'Iraqi threat'. I have my current job due to that Master's degree. Believe me when I say this: to this day, I have a hard time looking in the mirror because of this. I am who I am, partially because of a lie. And that is literally very hard to face.
But after that, I did try to share my knowledge about that fiasco with others on-line, and anyone who would listen. I still do that when I can. But in the meantime - around 2012, I became very sick. I went to see a doctor, and they found a precancerous lesion on the back of my throat. Also: I had a hard time keeping food down, and I often had blood blisters appear on my body and in my mouth after eating certain foods.
After eating corn chips one night and noticing that all of the skin on the roof of my mouth sloughed off, I decided to see a Chinese doctor instead of the standard Western variety. She looked at me and told me one thing: stop eating corn. So I did. And I healed, completely. And I started doing some research.
It turns out that GMO corn has had genes coding for bacterial resistance grafted into its genome, and the biggest one is BT toxin from Bacillus thuringiensis - and, it has now been directly implicated in a number of illnesses, especially immune system problems. And now this was affecting me...
...me, my health ruined by Bacillus thuringiensis,
...which was the subject of my Master's thesis.
Talk about a wake-up call.
After that happened I started drilling down into the science behind everything that I had learned, and connecting dots that built up a picture that sickened me. During that time I started to unlearn everything that I thought I knew, which had to be done if I were to ever know the Truth. But I did that, and ever since, I have tried to share everything that I have learned with anyone who was willing to listen. That continues to this day. And I share all that I have learned about not only anthrax, but vaccines, GMO's, and all related things on-line. (9, 10)
So, what now? What can I do, knowing what I do, about this world and how everyday caring people are programmed to believe lies?
Simple. I can pray.
I can pray that those in this world who are of pure love, intention, and soul be made aware of the Truth, in whatever ways that they are willing and able to receive it.
I can pray that the Truth then be presented in forms acceptable to those who would wish to know it in ways that do not violate their free will.
I can pray that all those pure souls of this world that have been deluded, lifetime after lifetime, by negative forces that they receive the truth that their 'better selves' have tried to give to them all along.
I can pray that all the evil that those who have led humanity astray becomes undone, and that the truths that they withheld become available to all willing to see them.
I can pray that all unbalances over the millennia become rectified in the best possible way for all concerned.
And I can also pray that all of us that are now awake and aware of all these imbalances realize that what is happening now, is that humanity as a whole is transitioning away from:
I. Am.
Instead, we are now collectively heading towards a new song of being - and that song goes like this:
I. Am.
We Are.

they might very well be correct.
(and no, i will not pester you with the boring explanation).
No epiphanies.
i was thinking in the line of 10% of the drivers were accounting for 70% of the accidents or something. but i think there is more wisdom and depth in your take.
that is like a beautiful poem i want to remember
Seriously?
Thank you,
In truth, personally I find truth difficult to cling to around my grandson. The stories I tell him about Santa, elves, the tooth fairy and dragons,are embellished - not to lie to him but to excite his imagination, to teach and to entertain.
ahh, kids, hehehe you can tell them anything. just give them a sly look in the end and they will know the difference. (small adults in healthier/better versions).
... makes the heart wings flutter
Only Love is TRUE.
Love... (not sentimentality )
The photo somehow reminded me of when I participated in a 'Have a Hug' event. It would be fun to have one again.
You need to know your line well in advance. There is much training and planning that needs to happen years ahead of time.
When the time comes try to make sure its on your own terms which isn't always possible.
The dilemma will be if refusing will mean a prison term as I am far from young. Once you become captive they can do as they like.

I think there will be little resistance given the caricaturization of anti-vaxxers as nut jobs.So there will be plenty of room in the local jail for me
I am resisting the Smart Meter. Refused to let them enter when they came to the door with it and have ignored their letters assuring me that it's obligatory but, according to the Meter Man, we Resisters are no more than a handful, which is an indication of how asleep most people are in this rural town.
Funny thing is, none of them wants to be reminded of that time ...
Well you survived! I guess you must have acquired some good coping skills.
Seeing the long queue at the supermarket at the beginning of the lock dawn, an image of the first photo of Moscow I ever saw came to mind. As clear and unforgettable as if I saw it yesterday. A photo of a long line of Muscovites queuing in the snow to enter a communist store. A two hour queue being the norm, according to the article.
Lies,lies and lies. Those in power have been lying to us for centuries.
Already as a kid, I could never supress that odd feeling, as if all was a great opera. All the mass media and education system news and views blatantly contradicted reality - and nobody seemed to notice. Like said foot shortages, decaying infrastructure, backward technology, and economic inefficiency.
I have read a great deal about communism, Solzhenitsyn but mainly Chinese Cultural Revolution as I lived in Hong Kong for some years.
I don't know how we spoilt Westerners will cope. I hope we will put up a brave fight.
Now, I know all (well, most) others are fools. They are either fooled, or fool themselves by not acknowledging reality. In the end, it does not matter ... Materially, I did not really suffer. Well, the choice of foods was much smaller, with shortages now and then. There are Westerners who had it equally hard, or harder.
The difference is the relation to government, and trust in so-called authorities.
Me gets the impression that the current push for mass vaccinations, ID tracking and all the other crap is the PTB testing the water to see how far they can push it. Where they can, I think they will push it forward, and where they can't, they will work on the programming, opinion polls etc and take stock of the results, make adjustments and what not. Bill Gates is the fall guy to take the rap in case of failure I reckon, but the agenda will roll on anyway with or without him.
Something else that could pop up is the PTB haven't calculated for all eventualities and possibilities. They have made a few miscalculations recently.

This is certainly not God's plan, it is some man's evil intentions to look after himself and not anybody else. Yes God gave us the free will to choose what we do, and when we walk away from God we reap what we sow - God's Laws will see that we compensate for our intentions and actions; so in that sense we do get what we deserve.
I have come to realize that If I criticize, or judge or blame those who caused this, that will just bring me more things to criticize, judge or blame, because in my heart that is what I want to do.
If I want change then I have to focus on what I want instead: I want freedom, freedom to move, freedom to speak, freedom to choose my health care, etc. I want the shut down to end.
I have been thinking about the bringing down of the Berlin wall. That was achieved because people were very clear about what they wanted and prepared to show support for it. If they can bring down the Berlin Wall, surely we can stop this house arrest; all we have to do is open the door.
Anything we permit, we promote. Awareness AND value of self is what does the choosing.
The reaction by 'the authorities' becomes vastly more severe when health care professionals, scientists or educated people speak out. This is because their opinions are seen having more 'weight' within the community. These people are persecuted, prosecuted, financially ruined and sometimes put in jail, all in an effort to keep those others who can wake up, ignorant.
This is where the real evil lies. It's not 'somebody else's problem'. It's everybody's problem because people who become informed and speak out are the only ones who stand between evil and the rest of the world.
We just have to keep wanting truth, upholding truth, no matter what. Only truth confronts evil.
I asked one of my grandchildren (I have 13 plus two great grandchildren) how she felt when she learned Santa was a lie, and she said her first thought was, "What other lies have I been told?"
How is a 4 year old to know the difference between our truth and our stories and our โlittle whit liesโ?
So what we try to do is differentiate between them by using different tones and a twinkling expression (with a kind of wink as Brakar mentioned) when telling a untruth.
sometimes kids exploit the fact that we tend to pay attention to negative behaviour. eg. by telling small lies - just to get attention.
If one 'winks' one is atleast teaching the child the art of DISCERNMENT ... the child will hear 3 or 4 lies in his/her lifetime... and know not to be stupid.
When one 'winks' one is honest and not lieing.
50+ years ago, we/(they) did not have either kindergarden or enough time to look after kids.
so, we/(they) invented; noekken in the well/pond, snake in the lake, huldra and in the forest, kraken in the ocean, stream in the river, trolls in the mountains/forest, etc.
a highly practical system intended to keep kids out of trouble. did work very well.
for my part, i gave the crap in conventions and gave my kids the truth as i saw it up straight without limitations from the beginning.
worked well for us.
hmm. but honestly, i really think growing kids is not too different from growing plants; love and "water" them, do no damage - and they will most likely grow up as intended. kids are incredibly good at adapting, (besides fun/cute/noisy/tolerant/evil/etc).
hmm. when i grow up i want to work with kids

Science is wrong.
Science (and the Internet and technology) is a map, it has become a very intricate and detailed, highly detailed, very exclusive, very important, all-encompassing, fact-filled and exciting, map.
For this reason, it believes itself to be getting better and better, even as it gets worse and worse.
But the map is not the territory, and can never be.
Think about this.
Science is wrong.
And the same thing applies to government.
And the ego, too.

I was "lucky" to be born with a father I only knew for practically a year and a foreigner mother who had to struggle mostly with herself (still is at 88). Mentally, I grew up being my own parent, so to speak. I was also "lucky" that no ideology was forced upon me (believe me "they" tried and it didn't work pretty much to my own surprise).
The process to be what I am now was a slow one. My first "insight" was: I have to be completely honest to myself if I were to understand anything about life, and that is, I don't know shit about what life is all about no matter how hard I try. Surprisingly (or not), this is how I made peace with myself.
Accept me for what I am.
I am the person I am now and I will be the person I will be tomorrow.
I might not like you but that's on me.
It doesn't matter.
If I have to be grateful for anything in life, that would be the fact that I don't know.
And that, to me, is the beauty of it. What's yours?
And if this doesn't make any sense to you, then
BTW, I am also as angry as you are, at least for now, and I also pretend to know or think that I know from time to time.
It's a ride man! (Bill Hicks)
I ask myself why this physical reality was created - for what purpose? The only answer that comes to mind is that there is an immortal, spiritual being who loves another spiritual being so deeply that it needs/want a deeper connection.
Have you ever loved so deeply that you wanted to press closely to the subject if your love?
Two light waves cant do that
Two sound waves cant do that
Two airwaves cant do that
Two water molecules do that
What manner of creation can best accommodate and express my love?
Two birds? Two fish? Two insects? Two dogs?
No - on this planet, only humans can look into the eyes of the person they love when they are making love.
Anyway, I agree that those dehumanizing masks are a bad thing, seing how far the average man is willing would go in self-demeaning and obedience. And if I (as a sceptic) interpret the bible correctly, this earthly realm is of the satan.
The key is to learn how to consume the life-force from the food chain mindfully, gratefully and sparingly, I think.
Great line.
good posts, a pleasure to see connected spirit, and reasoned thinking.

As far as diet, I prefer organic vegan.
We are seeing a total war by Big Pharma, MSM, Hell Gates etc. against all natural forms of health treatments, prevention, i.e., taking responsibility for our own body.
It is shocking how many people seem to think that they are in great danger until we get a vaccine. They want to live an unhealthy lifestyle and have the doctors bail them out with multiple by-pass surgeries, vaccines etc.
It is very offensive that these lockdown measures treat all people the same, including those who have been taking very good care of the health of their bodies. For me, I haven't had a flu my whole life. I am not worried about this virus and will not take this vaccine.
There definitely are natural cures for boosting the immune system and even treat sick people with Covid19

Trying to implement a policy of harmony with nature and the Earth is doomed to fail for a number of reasons. Here is some of them. Too many people are to selfish and ignorant and couldn't give a sh*t. That would need a global body to enforce it, sound familiar?The influence of psychopathy is prevalent in the human world, so nothing can be done on a macrosocial level that could enrich the lives of humans unless this is addressed first. So, a waste of time. Also, humans have a rather poor record of fixing macrosocial problems, so no thanks!
So youre against harmony with nature! Good to know. I know for a fact that Supreme Being wont be pleased with your thinking.
Wait, this (your) mindset sounds familiar to me! Who acts like that? LOLZ!!!

Anyway, all you have done through this debate, if it can be called such, is pile on assumptions on top of assumptions, and behaved like a child.

To end with: Maybe if you understood what Mark Twain was saying, instead of just quoting the poor guy, we wouldnt have this argument.

Or have I misunderstood his use of english lingo?
The idea of drawing a line in the sand for myself and how to go about it has been on my mind for quite some time, but it has never been as acute as it is now. What I have been doing mostly these past few months is to welcome my lessons and see them as an opportunity for growth and strength. It is not always easy as it requires suffering and ruthless self-examination (as becomes clear in your article). There is no free lunch, but at the same time compassion or forgiveness for oneself and others is perhaps equally important, so we won't get stuck in endless guilt, shame and blame loops.
First, the wiser kids (like me, and most SOTTitesโ Iโd guess) were, moreso than a typical child, mostly kind hearted and would not and did not use our greater level of factual/reality awareness to burst the bubbles of other kids who were slower on the uptake.* Why? We were the least likely to try to be hurtful to others.
Also, think about this: that most of us (it seems to me) eventually-as we got older and more โawareโ began to better understand and realize that there are realities that are almost completely โrationallyโ inexplicable, and that these are certainly โrationallyโ inexplicable to children who are simply first trying to learn the โrules of rationalityโ for living in this reality.
What probably has helped us - it sure seems to have helped me - in crossing that โlater-life awareness โbarrierโ - that โleap of faithโ** were those 'lessons in playing pretendโ as children.
This could be written better and I hope yโall understand it.

P.s., Granted, this sounds a bit like โYes, Virginia, there is a Santa Clausโ, but I maintain that itโs different as more grounded in reality.
*I did learn to use it as a defense against bullies, which is a different issue.
**Which, in retrospect, was a lot easier to achieve than those terms makes it sound.

And his movies (i.e. the movies after his books) are absurdly funny.
We all learn eventually to accept that life is constantly evolving.
I agree... sweet storytelling RC
Who gives an 'f' if it's right... it's write-d well
