PREPARING FOR THE GREAT RESET - SPIRO SKOURAs and DERRICK BROZE
(My take away from this interview is that now, more than ever before, we are needing to make some serious choices about what we value and what kind of lives we want to lead. I seriously see that a split will develop between those who heed the warning and those that choose to stay at home, wear a mask, and eventually accept the shot and all that comes with it. I am making the call to anyone in Costa Rica who is feeling the call for Family, Tribe, and Community, join the conversation HERE...)
11 NEW SYMPTOMS OF THE COLLECTIVE AWAKENING
Dylan Charles, Editor
During the run up to 2012 the world was fascinated by the idea of the shift, that is, an awakening that first takes place within the individual, then radiates outward into our communities and societies at large, changing the world for the better.
At that time, attention was mainly focused around the personal dynamics involved in this, including the work of navigating the upheaval and turmoil that precedes inner peace and profound transformation. Much of this shift was triggered by newfound awareness of the corruption and deception in our political and social institutions. The pain of realizing that the material world is built on lies left us with no place to go but inward.
We explored meditation and energy healing, radically altered our diets, opened our minds to different ways of thinking and relating to the world, embraced ancestral wisdom, and we fearlessly answered the call to purge, heal and connect. The energy around this was very intense, but it inspired a tremendous sense of wonder and creativity.
But, as all things do, the flow in this new space began to ebb, and since around 2016 it has felt like a major regression happened, taking us back into the dense, murky energies of cognitive dissonance and willful ignorance. So much so, that the last few years has had many of us wondering what the hell the point was in all of this. We began to doubt that our willingness to change had any real value in a world so hopelessly shipwrecked in the shallow end of the pool.
When 2020 began, nothing had substantively changed in the world around us, and for many of us, this muddled our sense of purpose and direction. Many of us fell back into old habits and old pursuits. Business and pleasure.
And then all of a sudden, boom! Here we are.
No denying it now, the train has left the station and everything is being exposed. All of the darkness, depravity and evil that we’ve been collectively covering up and ignoring for generations is squealing and squirming in this flash of bright light. The powers that be see what’s happening, they’ve revealed their hand, and they’re pulling out all the stops in order to maintain the illusion of control.
Indeed, we find ourselves in quite a vulnerable position, and since we’ve been quarantined from all of the distractions that’ve helped to blanket us from reality, we can no longer avoid the truth. A new awakening is happening now, and this time it is global. We can no longer numb ourselves to this.
“We numb vulnerability — when we’re waiting for the call… This is the world we live in. We live in a vulnerable world. And one of the ways we deal with it is we numb vulnerability…And I think there’s evidence — and it’s not the only reason this evidence exists, but I think it’s a huge cause — We are the most in-debt … obese … addicted and medicated adult cohort in U.S. history. The problem is — and I learned this from the research — that you cannot selectively numb emotion. You can’t say, here’s the bad stuff. Here’s vulnerability, here’s grief, here’s shame, here’s fear, here’s disappointment. I don’t want to feel these. I’m going to have a couple of beers and a banana nut muffin.” ~Brené Brown
As the awakening rolls forward, it’s taking everyone with it. How it ends is anyone’s guess, and since we’re all along for the ride, it may be insightful to connect some of what we’re feeling to the bigger picture of the change that is coming our way.

SPEAK NO EVIL, SEE NO EVIL, HEAR NO EVIL
By Lori at THE LIBERTY BEACON
Back in July, I re-posted a picture on Facebook that was posted that showed the guidelines for the Health Ambassador for Walmart regarding their face masks requirements. Walmart called one of the companies I work for & complained about that post. That company called my boss & then he called me. After a few direct questions…..one being…..did I have my hands directly on said document…..I said no, it was a re-post. The subject was dropped at that point.
A couple of weeks later, I get called into the HR office of the full time job I held. Again, this “post” was brought up. I told them that I never had my hands directly on this document & that it was just a re-post. I see it 50-100 times a day on Facebook, it is posted in all sorts of anti-vax groups, anti-mask groups & individuals who are just fed up & over every one shouting……WEAR A MASK!
I was told it didn’t matter that I didn’t have the document directly in my hands but that I had shared an confidential, internal document. Mind you, NO WHERE does it say its an confidential, internal document. I’ve looked over it several times & it’s simply not there.
They also complained about the mask I wore for part of my shift one night. The plant manager said the masks we wear has to cover our mouth & nose. Ok, that means a mask that doesn’t have a huge hole in it. So, I ordered a mask from a lady who makes mesh masks. I was told that I knew what was expected of me & shouldn’t have tried to make a “forum” by deviating from what was expected of me.
The HR director said my “mask” was no different than the PPE like my safety vest, steel toes shoes & goggles. Ummm, excuse me, there is a HUGE difference. The vest, goggles & shoes don’t restrict my breathing, they don’t cause me to breathe in my own carbon dioxide when I breathe out, they don’t cause my heart to pound because I’m not getting sufficient oxygen due to wearing a mask & they don’t cause my lungs to hurt when I get home & that pain keep me awake for hours when I get home. The vest, shoes & goggles don’t cause me to sweat around my face. The OSHA website says direction…..cloth face coverings are not PPE.
Note that face coverings are not considered PPE and cannot be used in place of respirators when respirators otherwise are required.
I got thru the first 7 hours of my 10 hour shift before I was called into the production managers office because of my mask. He said it had to be a solid mask. I said OK, I have one in my locker. He said sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but that just isn’t going to cut it. I left his office & went around the corner to the locker room & put the mesh one in my bag & put on a solid surgical one.
My contract was terminated with my full time job. I hope to have a new full time job lined up soon. I’m currently working part time as a merchandiser in various stores, some which require a mask. And yes, I’m wearing the mask you see in the pic above. No manager at those stores have stopped & questioned me.
Yes, there are some people who will show you in a video that wearing a mask will not cause their oxygen levels to go down. BUT, there are also videos that show the oxygen saturation levels plummeting within minutes of putting a mask on, Here is a video showing cardon dioxide levels rising to alarming levels under the mask.

Exploring the Subtle Realms: The Issue of Skepticism
Have you developed Covid Interpretation Fatigue (CIF) yet?
It’s a rapidly spreading secondary condition of the virus. Symptoms include deep sighs and eyes glazing over on coming across yet another profound analysis of ‘what’s really going on.’
I mean, I know that the coronavirus is the brontosaurus in the room right now but…..enough already. Can’t we talk about anything else?
In this spirit, I’m returning today to a topic I was writing about just before we got shipwrecked on Pandemic Island. The subtle realms and how we develop our relationship with them.
There is much to say about this topic, so I plan to explore it over a series of posts in the coming months.
Don’t tell anyone, but the truth is that this subject is far more than a fascinating diversion from current affairs. That’s because the exploration of the subtle realms and the beings we encounter there is an inescapable step in the process of restoring our connection with the Earth, in all its mysterious depths. Developing our relationship with these realms opens a direct channel of connection between us and the creative intelligence of nature. Once established, this bridge provides an inexhaustible source of guidance that can transform our lives into a truly magical unfolding. Nature is constantly feeding us creative ideas that bring us into ever deeper and more delightful forms of self-expression that are also in harmony with the whole of life. As our external systems and supports dissolve around us in the challenging passage ahead, knowing how to follow this magical trail will become an increasingly vital navigational capacity.
At the same time, our explorations of these realms form part of a profound collective process unfolding in our times to re-connect human consciousness with the natural, multidimensional intelligence of life. This change in consciousness is crucial to enable us to access and embody the holistic solution patterns for the meta-crisis we find ourselves in.
And so (we can now all see), this shift is WHAT IS REALLY GOING ON. It’s what the Covid19 crisis IS ALL ABOUT.
Oh darn. There I go again. Wading into profound analysis territory. My sincere apologies. I’ll stop now. I’m a responsible global citizen and I do not wish to spread CIF.
The subtle realms: encountering skepticism
One of the first things we can encounter when exploring the subtle realms is our skepticism. Even if we want to develop a deeper relationship with these dimensions, we often find within ourselves a barrier of doubt. Anyone who has received a modern Western education has been deeply conditioned to regard experiences of these realms as mere figments of our imagination. Thus we tend to have developed within ourselves an internalized guardian of the orthodox, disenchanted modern worldview. Whenever an experience starts to arise that seems to threaten that picture of reality, this guardian steps in to shut it down, often with considerable force.
Solitude vs Loneliness In Our Pandemic
This virus has taught us something profound, and what that is is a reflection of what motivates us. We have spent some rare moments alone, and some have come away with depression, feelings of negative isolation, while others have found a sense of self-worth, with an elevated and positive revelation. Everything is attitude, isn’t it? While a lot of people ate and drank excessively, becoming a couch potato, others studied, exercised, and lost weight… some stayed at their businesses and tried to save them in methods that had never occurred to them before…
“Our language has wisely sensed the two sides of being alone. It has created the world of loneliness to express the pain of being alone. And it has created the word solitude to express the glory of being alone.” -Paul Tillich
We all have known loneliness. Those who know it well, know it isn’t just being alone, but a negative state of mind. It can be a dull sense that something is missing, or that something is not quite right, and it saps both joy and happiness from our lives. It is in fact a form of depression.
It can be described as a hungry feeling, and dull empty mood deep inside, and this is the primary reason people gorge themselves with food, take drugs, or smoke. They want to fill that void.
Being alone has nothing to do with loneliness, as we can feel alone in a crowded room, even with friends and family, and this might be the most bitter form of loneliness of all.
So let’s start off with a broad, and yet very unexplored statement that we have been taught: solitude is chosen, and loneliness is not.
We are taught that solitude is a state of being alone, without being lonely, that it can produce a positive and fulfilling state. That with time, it can construct an opportunity to replenish both mind and spirit. It is a state where we can depend on ourselves entirely for both company and motivation, and all of our decisions too. Yes, there is truth here, but an important factor must be considered… both loneliness and solitude are choices.
It is often stated that loneliness is a burden others impose on us, but the reason for this truth mostly alludes us, and it is a very important concept. Loneliness, you see, is the affect of relinquishing responsibility for self, and is the power that we have given to others, trustworthy or not. It is the control we have given them to impose their state of being on us. The old adage, “No one can hurt you unless you let them.” is a classic example of how loneliness can grip our hearts, souls and minds. And just as loneliness stems from the relinquishment of responsibility, so too does solitude create it. Now stop here and take pause…One cannot be lonely and accept responsibility of self. Loneliness is an inability to cope, whereas the responsibility we learn in solitude, if we so choose, is the ability to cope.
Your solitude might suggest peacefulness, an inner dialogue stemming from a state of inner richness, but there is no guarantee. A quiet surrounding does not mean it will quell a noisy and cluttered mind, in fact, it may have just the opposite effect. One might think that solitude is refreshing, an opportunity to renew and replenish ourselves, but there is no assurance this will occur. You see, first off, there must be a place that you have previously developed inside of your mind, a quiet place, a place you can withdraw into or from… It is doubtful that this can be developed in a solitude experience, and those who do not previously possess it, or realize how to access it, may become more confused, and disoriented… Some people are just too dependent on outside influences…
