Love this, Kathleen. Napolitano's "Freedom... must do more than just lie there" really hit me. Yes, freedom is our essence, our nature, but it also needs to constantly regenerate itself through action. Thank you for highlighting the DOI and calling forth those aspects we may skim past -- it is simply an extraordinary document. And how marvelous -- your writing this piece is an action that does exactly what Napolitano urges: it revitalizes freedom.
I am interested in Natural Law. II would call it eternal law. You can brake them or keep them but you can't destroy them. Just my observation. I guess the natural law could be called God's laws also. It really bothers me that people say, well God will forgive me, when they commit a wrong. So then they seem to say there are no consequences to their actions. Even God cannot stop the consequences of breaking natural or eternal law. Yes God forgives but he doesn't take away the consequences of breaking eternal laws. God is a loving God and a forgiving God. We have to learn that there are still consequences.
Watched Judge Napolitano's video. I think human rights that are written down are the attempt to codify natural eternal law. Eternal law is invisible but like we know it's written in our hearts and it's being up right to one another. So many factors skew our perceptions and hamper our ability to live by being upright towards one another.
Wonderful Kathleen. We need to constantly reorient ourselves to the truth of what is happening so that we can continue to respond to it the most constructive way, and overcome it. We need to keep in sight the very real posibility of overcoming it. Much inspiration here, from the glorious paintings (the first one I find especially radiant and moving) to your heart-felt and articulate explorations. What you have provided here helps keep us oriented to the reality that is the minds of us all that are vulnerable to this takeover. And reminds us that certain truths are indeed self-evident, and do not need any post-modern convolutions to confuse them, or any shallow intellectual games to justify or refute them.
I watched the first couple of minutes of the documentary and it looks really powerful. WIll watch the rest later - and forward to others of course.
I feel like we're waking up out of a drug-induced dream, shaking off the fog of it a little more each day. The very grounded reality of who we are and our place in this world, is slowly coming back to us. Wow, we've put up with a lot of absolute criminal idiocy! Let's not do that again. :-)
We quickly went from the declaration of Independence into another oligarch run system.
The Constitution was so lacking that they had to AMEND it with the bill of rights, because people were protesting the lack of rights in the Constitution!
Thank you, Kathleen. What a lovely read and reminder... yes, inevitable! I'm reminded of the roots of a tree bursting open the concrete sidewalk around it. And love the Monets. Will check out the doc.
It was reading the Declaration of Independence and Constitution -- really reading it as a mature adult, not a school assignment -- as a critical thinker -- that transformed me and started to wake me up, about 20 years ago. My reaction: I can't believe I never really read this -- it's so amazing and so profound. I started asking around with people I know: when is the last time you read through this? And most had not. Most of these folks also, coincidentally, had some very black-and-white, extreme liberal and anti-human opinions. I suggested they read it -- I'm not aware that any took me up on it. This is a bit like asking people, "when is the last time you read Orwell's 1984?" because many people haven't read it at all. This is how we get brainwashed and propagandized.... we just take the sound bites that are given to us, rather than doing the work to listen and think for ourselves, because yes -- the answers are within us all the time, as the natural beings we are, part of the earth. You read these things and they resonate with truth.
I can so relate to the experience you write here, Dani. We don't speak and talk like that anymore - and maybe back then only a few did. But oh my, the rigor in their thinking is so impressive.
Great comment and so true, the ubiquity of sound bites, as if they can replace really reading and understanding. (On top of our disconnect from Nature.)
Beautiful!!!!! Bless you for this morning and sharing your articulation of Natural Law. I notice that I’m a mere part of this amazing and complex transactional world! Humbling it is. Been working all my life to be an example of this, very few notice.
Nature and all the incredible dynamic moving parts teaches💕. Few listen, did you know the word idiot , from the Greek defines as self contained! 😂. Narrow narrow .
Nature's penalty for stupid is extinction
😉😎😳.
Love overflowing this morning, like the maples running sap (boiling away out back)
Happy Groundhog Day! (Another construct by us silly humans to mark space in time )
Thank you for writing and sharing this beauty! Yes, honesty, love and good will are written on the heart. When we return to that Sacred Heart of our Self, we move from a stable, balanced, Divine governance from within, and are no longer fooled by the deceptive 'powers that be.' Real freedom comes peacefully from the inside out. It all takes place within - in the Heart of you and me.
Beautiful, Kathleen. when I said I was eager to get to this, I didn't know that I had a guest appearance! And I too never noticed those words, "To assume among the powers of the earth..." Woah! I love that. How did I miss it? The DoI has always had a special relevance to me. "We hold these truths to be self-evident" -- what a powerful phrase. To be followed by my only dogma, that all people are created equal. One note, however, is that the right to property was changed to the ephemeral 'right to pursue happiness.' To be born on the earth means that you deserve a place to stand that isn't borrowed. We all need somewhere to call our own. The real founders knew this but it got changed into something meaningless.
"How did I miss this?" is exactly what I thought, and the self-evident piece has always struck deep. (So rarely stated, let alone in political realm.)
I remember learning about that 'edit' and thought at first; (naively) "Oh, they must have been trying to broaden our rights by swapping in something amorphous rather than tangible."
(Oh, those naive days! I almost miss them.) Nope, it wasn't that.
Happiness instead of Land, what does that remind of now? It's the "You'll Own Nothing and Be Happy" jingle! Wonder if they were that many steps ahead?
Completely agree, claiming our own place in the world is a sovereign right.
I'm going to look into that edit and see what I can find. Appreciate your insights, as always. Best.
Yes! Please look into that edit. And wow! great connection to you'll own nothing and be happy.
I've thought about what are our actual human rights, inherent to being born human. The UN puts them as products of someone else's labor--food, education, shelter etc. So someone has to give up their right to own what they produce, to have it go through a central authority to be redistributed. Convenient, eh?
So I think the only positive human right is belonging--to belong to a family within a community that is the default owner of the property within its borders. Not communism where it replaces private ownership because enhancing family ownership/ wealth is the purpose of the community. It takes default ownership by extending credit when property changes hands.
I've thought that all property should be matrilineal so that anyone born to a mother has a home. It gets around the 'bastard problem' of children needing to be 'claimed' by the sperm donor. Mothers are genetically designed to love their children, who've been part of them for nine months. For fathers, it's a choice, for which I give them credit. So with the responsibility for raising the children should come the authority over the means. Anyway, just my thoughts.
I'm always hesitant to say 'hey watch this video' (appears to be endless) but hey, watch the video attached - The Science of Natural Law. Would love your take - though not pushing.
I think he does an excellent job of articulating them and the necessity of an objective morality. Relative morality is where much of our confusion in terms of basic right and wrong comes in.
Also called Universal or Cosmic Law.
Positive human right as belonging, yes agree, though would suggest we belong first to the earth and then the larger communities, starting with family. Even absent a family - say abandoned as an infant, you still carry the same human rights. They apply to all equally, everywhere regardless of circumstances. Has to be universally applied if it's an innate Natural Law.
Property being linked to the maternal makes so much sense! Never thought of that.
I'll gladly watch the video. Here's the danger, I think, to a top-down belonging. It's empty air. You might belong to the Earth but if you have nowhere to sleep that isn't owed rent to someone, what does that mean? It opens up the debate to things like UBI and the 'white man's burden,' which has become the guilt-ridden white liberal fighting for the homeless and immigrants without looking at how those people got that way.
Under my system, everyone gets targeted subsidies for the commonwealth they're in from the moment of birth, as an equal share of what that commonwealth brings in. Children are the treasure of every community. If an infant is abandoned at birth, it would be the worst sign something has gone horribly wrong with that community's ability to care for itself. Rather than take on the responsibility for caring for the infant, fix the community's response-ability.
'Humanitarian intervention' or 'the war on Burkas', as I talked about in my episode on Sam Harris, or 'what about those terrible people who do awful things to children' are the gate through which compassionate yet self-righteous people are suckered in to centralized control. Give every community the benefit of the doubt that they're as smart and caring as you would be, and if they're not taking care of their own, figure out what's stopping them. But assume that something's stopping them, it's not natural. Again, just my thoughts.
We might be talking about different things, that have crossover, yet are still distinct.
Natural Law - as I get it - is an orientation that acknowledges a pre-existing Natural or Universal Law that all humans - all beings on the earth - inherit because we're weaved into it as sentient beings, just like everything else in the Natural world. It's not human separate from tree and rock or bird and ocean. While there are clear difference in those things - our existence is primarily fully intertwined in Nature. This is the context we are wedded to and that comes with its own innate Laws. Clearly there is an order to the world.
So it's not a concept it's an embodied reality. We can't separate from Reality, but we can get out of alignment and behave as if we are separate.
Before any human systems (political or philosophical economic etc.) show up this Natural Law already exists. We don't have to make it up, it's present. We align to it.
Understanding the basic tenets - which amounts to a moral code - we align there first and then from there, whatever else free sovereign beings want to create they are free to do assuming they don't infringe on this most basic understanding.
So your idea - which I love - would be fine, as long as everyone participating agrees to it. And yes, if infants were being abandoned something is horribly wrong, though aligned to this first principal of Natural Law, it likely wouldn't happen.
You're right that I am looking at the question from a political view of what's gone wrong and how are they distorting things. What I see in the strategy of the global cabal is that they go straight from 'one-world' or nature to individual rights, like the UN Declaration of Human Rights or the Sustainability Goals. They leapfrog over community rights. And so the 'responsibility' or rather authority for making sure communities are ensuring individual rights is up to the globalists. And of course, that's just the fig leaf over the raping mechanism.
That's why I think we need to talk about the sovereignty of communities rather than individuals. Your thoughts?
Freedom lies in the human heart, and while it lies there, no army, no threat, no positivism nonsense can take it away, but it must do more than just lie there. Napolitano.
Yes, not forgetting that the higher our frequency in love, forgiveness and non-judgement, the more untouchable we become. This takes work and it's an action we can all take to bring the equilibrium back to normal, as it inevitably will, in accordance with Natural Law.
Thank you so much for mentioning my post which is greatly appreciated. Mark Passio's work on Natural Law is exceptional and I highly recommend watching his documentary, 'The Science of Natural Law.'
To use your phrase: “And that’s where we are in a nutshell”.
I wrote the following on Pilgrims in the Machine SS yesterday.
“In the natural realm there is always an opportunity to revisit to reinforce or discard on human and natures terms. Perhaps AI needs a foundation system also. A human/nature/spiritual bill of rights. A robust feedback and revision system fenced from human and machine corruption. One that is transparent and evokes our trust.”
Your essay goes right to the heart of the matter and makes a strong and most eloquent argument for natural law as critical for technological innovation moving forward.
BTW. I always loved Monet. Tried to emulated his style when I was young and creative before college doused that spark. And most people just did not understand what I found so fascinating in his style. Not sure I could explain it either. Something about each individual brush stroke having a unique purpose and tie to the adjacent even if different but when viewed from a distance formed a beautiful scene that anyone could recognize.
So well said, Mike. I heard somewhere that AI is quietly learning Natural Law which will put a spanner in the works for sure! The programmers will not see this coming and perhaps the robots will round up the nefarious and put them in the COVID camps to eat ze bugs. I live in hope.
I must admit to knowing very little about AI so my comment was a bit tongue in cheek. I just posted an interview on my feed of an interview with Whitney Webb which is rather concerning. I would welcome feedback. It seems we need to start preparing before they commandere open internet access which is being planned for in ways perhaps few of us are aware of.
My fears have been allayed through alchemy and talking it through with my colleagues. The cabal are running out of time and money as we quietly gain increasing traction behind the scenes in our communities. Key to remember that what they say they want to do carries less and less weight. They may have elaborate plans but whether they are true or doable is an entirely different thing. Onwards, good people, we are winning this war with love and we are one. 💛🤗
Thank you, Kathleen, reminding myself not to fall into their trap. And good practice for the new skills I have been learning about alchemising fear into love, it's a wonderful practice.
Great comment and insight and I love that idea. It's time we claim our Natural Rights as sovereign human beings on the earth. Applies to all of us no matter where we live or travel.
It wasn’t until the last few years that I truly understood our “natural” God-given rights, even though I leaned strongly libertarian. It’s a beautiful message.
BTW the first piece of art isn’t the cliffs at Dieppe - it’s haystacks :)
100% →"That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed
It’s painful to read that. How far we’ve strayed. Our reality is so starkly at odds with ‘consent of the governed’ that surely even the most numbed out normie can register the irony here, if not the outrage."
Love your paintings. I just asked Hubs if he wanted to head to Tampa to an art museum with Monet and Dali. I feel as if this is a sign. xo♥
For a challenged human such as myself.; an approach based primarily on the 10 commandments,
natural or not, and the laws of karma seems to produce an acceptable outcome in many cases I have encountered. Best not look to closely at this unless you want to explore the rabbit holes of probability.
I've seen NL also referred to as Karmic Law or the Golden Rule. Basically the same idea. So simple even 'challenged' humans can easy understand it. :-) Best.
Yes we are entangled in nature and the Cosmos too at many levels, most of which are invisible.
But unfortunately death rules to here in the natural world. To be identified with the body is to be hell-deep afraid. Embodied life is terrifying!
Every apparently separate is inherently, always. and irrationally opposed. The presumed other is always an opponent in effect, if not by conscious intention. The ego "I" is confronted by binding forces, and it is itself a force that is tending to bind every other. The other and the ego-"I" are mad relations, always together in the growling pit, bound by Nature to do Nature's deeds to one another. As experience increases, it begins to become clear that Nature itself is an Immense Pattern that always seeks and inevitably attains superiority, dominance, and destruction of every part.
Therefore, the Great Other - whether It is called Nature or Nature's God - is your Opponent, not your Refuge. An
Truth is prior or eternal Freedom and Humour, whether or not the Other or the Opponent seems to be present. Therefore Truth Itself is the only refuge. And if you surrender to the Truth, which is Transcendental Being, Consciousness, or Happiness, then there is an Awakening from this nightmare of condemned life and its passionate search for pleasure, victory, and escape.
I can't say I agree with all of it. Yes, with bodies comes the fear of death, though I think this sense of being just a body that can die, is part of the distortion (and limited frequency bandwidth) we've been living in, and is changing. Our larger, multidimensional selves, which can be perceived, may be making a more obvious entrance in the coming years.
Nature is most surely not the great other for me; I'm part of it, so no, it's not an opponent.
Truth must also be embodied and experienced in a body. We access transcendent insights; we swim in consciousness and happiness happens in bodies. I don't see the value is separating them out.
I think embodied life is a big deal and a gift, and precious. And I think it can be perceived as a sentence or prison term. And everything in between.
Love this, Kathleen. Napolitano's "Freedom... must do more than just lie there" really hit me. Yes, freedom is our essence, our nature, but it also needs to constantly regenerate itself through action. Thank you for highlighting the DOI and calling forth those aspects we may skim past -- it is simply an extraordinary document. And how marvelous -- your writing this piece is an action that does exactly what Napolitano urges: it revitalizes freedom.
What a gracious comment, Mary. Happy to do my bit!
Re Napolitano - I found his talk really inspiring and not least because it came from a judge who appreciates these foundational truths. More, please!
To freedom!
Best to you.💕
I am interested in Natural Law. II would call it eternal law. You can brake them or keep them but you can't destroy them. Just my observation. I guess the natural law could be called God's laws also. It really bothers me that people say, well God will forgive me, when they commit a wrong. So then they seem to say there are no consequences to their actions. Even God cannot stop the consequences of breaking natural or eternal law. Yes God forgives but he doesn't take away the consequences of breaking eternal laws. God is a loving God and a forgiving God. We have to learn that there are still consequences.
Thanks, Ann. Curious to hear what you think of the attached videos if you view them.
Exactly right - they can not be destroyed but we can fail to claim them and then live with the consequences of that.
Appreciate the comment. Best.
I will work on watching the videos and get back to you.
👍
Watched Judge Napolitano's video. I think human rights that are written down are the attempt to codify natural eternal law. Eternal law is invisible but like we know it's written in our hearts and it's being up right to one another.

I think these understanding are making a comeback. Thanks, Ann.
Wonderful Kathleen. We need to constantly reorient ourselves to the truth of what is happening so that we can continue to respond to it the most constructive way, and overcome it. We need to keep in sight the very real posibility of overcoming it. Much inspiration here, from the glorious paintings (the first one I find especially radiant and moving) to your heart-felt and articulate explorations. What you have provided here helps keep us oriented to the reality that is the minds of us all that are vulnerable to this takeover.

One could hope. To my mind it would seem to want to do that anyway if it truly is intelligent. I’d be concerned about its interpretation though.
I must admit to knowing very little about AI so my comment was a bit tongue in cheek. I just posted an interview on my feed of an interview with Whitney Webb which is rather concerning. I would welcome feedback. It seems we need to start preparing before they commandere open internet access which is being planned for in ways perhaps few of us are aware of.
My fears have been allayed through alchemy and talking it through with my colleagues. The cabal are running out of time and money as we quietly gain increasing traction behind the scenes in our communities. Key to remember that what they say they want to do carries less and less weight. They may have elaborate plans but whether they are true or doable is an entirely different thing. Onwards, good people, we are winning this war with love and we are one. 💛🤗
💯 Sue.
Yes they carry less and less weight and more and more people won't go along. We need that combo.
Humans win.
Thank you, Kathleen, reminding myself not to fall into their trap. And good practice for the new skills I have been learning about alchemising fear into love, it's a wonderful practice.
Great comment and insight and I love that idea. It's time we claim our Natural Rights as sovereign human beings on the earth. Applies to all of us no matter where we live or travel.
Re Monet - me too. I don't know how he did it.😊
Best to you.
It wasn’t until the last few years that I truly understood our “natural” God-given rights, even though I leaned strongly libertarian. It’s a beautiful message.
BTW the first piece of art isn’t the cliffs at Dieppe - it’s haystacks :)
Yeah, same for me. And thank you!!
But of course it's Haystacks! (Must of done that before fully awake)
Thank you, Elizabeth - best.
Excellent post.
100% →"That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed
It’s painful to read that. How far we’ve strayed. Our reality is so starkly at odds with ‘consent of the governed’ that surely even the most numbed out normie can register the irony here, if not the outrage."
Love your paintings. I just asked Hubs if he wanted to head to Tampa to an art museum with Monet and Dali. I feel as if this is a sign. xo♥
Thanks, SadieJay! So still in Florida I guess?
And yeah, I'd take that as a sign too!♥️
Still in Florida trying to figure it out. But Idaho is calling.♥
For a challenged human such as myself.; an approach based primarily on the 10 commandments,
natural or not, and the laws of karma seems to produce an acceptable outcome in many cases I have encountered. Best not look to closely at this unless you want to explore the rabbit holes of probability.
I've seen NL also referred to as Karmic Law or the Golden Rule. Basically the same idea. So simple even 'challenged' humans can easy understand it. :-) Best.
Yes we are entangled in nature and the Cosmos too at many levels, most of which are invisible.
But unfortunately death rules to here in the natural world. To be identified with the body is to be hell-deep afraid. Embodied life is terrifying!
Every apparently separate is inherently, always. and irrationally opposed. The presumed other is always an opponent in effect, if not by conscious intention. The ego "I" is confronted by binding forces, and it is itself a force that is tending to bind every other. The other and the ego-"I" are mad relations, always together in the growling pit, bound by Nature to do Nature's deeds to one another. As experience increases, it begins to become clear that Nature itself is an Immense Pattern that always seeks and inevitably attains superiority, dominance, and destruction of every part.
Therefore, the Great Other - whether It is called Nature or Nature's God - is your Opponent, not your Refuge. An
Truth is prior or eternal Freedom and Humour, whether or not the Other or the Opponent seems to be present. Therefore Truth Itself is the only refuge. And if you surrender to the Truth, which is Transcendental Being, Consciousness, or Happiness, then there is an Awakening from this nightmare of condemned life and its passionate search for pleasure, victory, and escape.
Thank you for the thoughtful comment, Jonathan.
I can't say I agree with all of it. Yes, with bodies comes the fear of death, though I think this sense of being just a body that can die, is part of the distortion (and limited frequency bandwidth) we've been living in, and is changing. Our larger, multidimensional selves, which can be perceived, may be making a more obvious entrance in the coming years.
Nature is most surely not the great other for me; I'm part of it, so no, it's not an opponent.
Truth must also be embodied and experienced in a body. We access transcendent insights; we swim in consciousness and happiness happens in bodies. I don't see the value is separating them out.
I think embodied life is a big deal and a gift, and precious. And I think it can be perceived as a sentence or prison term. And everything in between.
Best to you.
