Be Yourself

Everyone else is already taken. (And some have been taken-over.)

A famous Oscar Wilde quote.

Just be yourself. It sounds trite. I know. Conventional advice which doesn’t really fit these - anything but conventional - times.

What does it even mean to “Be yourself.” If you sit with that, you quickly confront the whole question of a self. Who am I? And naturally, “What do I stand for?” soon follows.

Essential questions, that maybe more than ever, require our attention.

Humanity is under attack. Future humanity is at stake. These statements could sound hyperbolic - especially if you’re not paying attention. But even if you are paying attention, they may be received in a vague, almost abstract way. (Or remind you of a movie you once watched.)

It doesn’t really penetrate.

Yet, these statements are not over-stating the situation; humanity is made up of a bunch of flesh and blood individuals - you and me. And lots of us are dying. The reproductive abilities and health of others are in question and despite the evidence that keeps mounting making it all quite clear, our “officials” ignore it.

It’s on us. Our very lives and those of our children are at stake. How does the individual you feel about that? What would you do about it?

It’s true that we are all in it together (know it or not) and also true that in the end it’s gonna come down to a “We” to change the outcome TPTWB are planning.

Still, the collective “we” is made up of a bunch of individual “me’s.” And we first must deal with ourselves. Our “We” is only gonna be as strong as our weakest “Me.”

Are you a weak me-link in the we-chain?

How can any of us be a voice for humanity if we’re not willing to face the threats as they pile up around us? If we continually find ways to dodge the truth and hide from the scary?

A real life example: In a car with a friend who knows some of what’s up. I bring up the hurricane and wonder about the likelihood of it being manipulated to be that devastating; and the Nordstream blow up; and the financial system melting down; and the food plants exploding and before I can continue (yes it was a big lead-up) to make my larger point, she says, “Oh, pumpkin lattes are back! Do you want one?”

That’s a dodge.

She pivoted away from what was happening inside her. Tried to hide from it. Something got scared and rather than allow it, or express it: “Hey, would you shut up, you’re freaking me out,” she instead went with a distraction. She didn’t deal with herself in that moment. And that’s the point.

This is a friend who knew better and still wore masks everywhere. Rather than confront her hypocrisy, her own lack of courage to behave in the world consistent with what she believed, she wore them and claimed she was doing so to make other people feel safe.

I pointed out that she actually had a hard time not following rules - even when they were idiotic, let alone harmful. She agreed. (Though continued to wear them.) And I’m not saying I don’t understand that. I’m also not wanting to judge someone else or preach how others should behave. (Though I suspect it sounds like I’m doing both.)

I am saying that in hiding from herself, in not being honest that it was fear of ridicule that kept her complying, she couldn’t show up in the world as her real self.

We’re watching an ongoing genocide, witnessing a series of planned false flags and psychological operations as unelected organizations (no longer hidden) run by insane psychopaths (who may likely have been taken over themselves by a non-human force) attempt to take over the planet, with plans to starve or freeze a bunch more of us as they continue their depopulation and humans-as-cyborgs agenda.

It is a lot. It can freak you out. Yet, we can’t hide from it.

As a singular individual, none of us can fix the world. We need to join forces. However individuals can not turn into a serious collective of badasses who can do anything, if at that individuated level they’re not dealing with themselves first.

I came across this quote by MLK, it was part of a speech he gave in 1968.

“And one of the great liabilities of life is that all too many people find themselves living amid a great period of social change, and yet they fail to develop the new attitudes, the new mental responses, that the new situation demands. They end up sleeping through a revolution.”

Or in this case, a global genocide.

What would Martin say about the sleepers today?

There are just so many of them. Sleepers. Lately, I often, ungenerously, refer to them as zombies. I know it’s not nice but I don’t care, because they are behaving like zombies; behaving like they are not really here.

Well if you’re not gonna be here while you are here, what’s the point?

These not-here-but-here people have bodies and they talk, but pretty much everything they say is off-point. (Or worse, they simply repeat the official narratives.) And it’s hard to see what’s going on in our dystopia and then talk about football or a new show on Prime or that restaurant that just opened. All those things have their place - don’t get me wrong - and I can talk about them too (except football) - but it can’t be the main thing, can it?

It can’t be what we focus on to avoid that ever engulfing metaphorical elephant now suffocating the planet, can it?

No, it can’t.

Here’s my it’s-so-obvious-it’s-not-obvious point.

To really be yourself, you have to really be a you who is really here.

A you with opinions and thoughts and feelings and everything else that goes with it. You have to be a you that is here as in, embodied, paying attention, part of the world, caring, feeling and expressing all of that. And your actions should align. (I know, none of us does that perfectly.)

Otherwise seriously, why not be a robot? (Which is part of the agenda of course.)

Giving voice to what’s happening to humanity, matters. Every time you face it and say something - no matter how inarticulately - it matters. Interestingly, you embody more of you in the process; it’s self-propelling. You strengthen as you show up in the world (not just in your own thoughts.) You have an effect - it ripples out.

How you show up in the world, is going to be unique to you. I might write a substack, you might start a petition, or make videos or write songs. Maybe you’ll stand in front of a grocery store and scream about how people have become zombies. (If you do that, let me know please and where you’ll be stationed.)

If you feel your brain go fuzzy, or you suddenly want to take a nap or turn on Netflix, just stop and recognize what’s happening. Maybe go sit in nature. It helps.

Once get past the scared, numbed and overwhelmed, you’ll probably find you’re really pissed off and outraged. That’s good. That’s human. If you don’t have a fire in your belly at this point, maybe you are sleeping. That fire is you waking up.

Maybe more importantly, you will no longer go along just to get along, as if what “little you” does, doesn’t matter. As if what happens in the world out-there doesn’t concern you.

That is why “they” are all about wanting to make us feel small. (Perhaps, the size of a computer chip, small.)

It can be in the smallest of exchanges. We are reflections for each other. For instance, if someone asks if you are getting the booster, say while you’re pumping gas and an ad comes on for it, respond back honestly. “Do I look like a fucking guinea pig?”

This is not the time to worry about being polite or offending someone. Lives are being lost, more surely to come, and we need to let others know how we feel about it. Shocking someone can even be helpful. (BTW, the man I said the above to, took it well and nodded thoughtfully back.)

I still hear people who are reasonably questioning the narrative, utter that oft-repeated phrase, “I’m not a conspiracy theorist.” Good grief. At this point, worrying about whether someone thinks you’re a conspiracy theorist is like worrying about how your hair looks as they walk you to the gallows.

Listen, there is something about humans - the individual human - that some groups are trying fuck-all to fuck with. So, my guess is we are far more impressive a threat to these groups, than we realize. Surely more a threat than they want us to realize.

They want us to believe there is nothing to be done. “Oh well, here come the CBDC’s and social credit system… I wonder what’s on TV?”

If you don’t like the way the world is being guided, corralled and led off the proverbial cliff - if you have the slightest clue about any of that - than please, be yourself, stand in yourself, and speak up.

The world needs you.

(Plus you’ll enjoy that pumpkin latte all the more, if you do.)
