This is brilliant. I love words, always have, and this dissection of the phrase "it's a given" never occurred to me!! Yes! Given by whom? For what purpose?

Wow, I'm so excited by this. (Word nerd, fer sher.) And the rest of the article is beautifully written, too-- logical yet compassionate. Thank you so much for all of it, Kathleen! A fantastic piece.

'LIABILITY' for Vax makers would resolve the issue - but their useless and deadly injected 'medicines' would result in them becoming insolvent within a very short period! Mick (Unjabbed to live longer)

"If we’re to take our planet back, once we cleanse it of this anti-human agenda and those behind it, I suspect we’ll need to reorient ourselves again on this planet, with Nature. What else really is there?" That may be the only way forward for those who wish to live in peace, even if we don't take back the planet.

Good point. (But I still want it back!) 😊

Agree but taking the planet back is not an option. We must!

Great post and reminders thanks. Yes, I believe we are fortunate to be having this made clear to us currently. The potential silver lining in this storm? Depends on whether we can read these tea leaves correctly or not. Also depends on our willingness to engage in uncomfortable free speech and inconvenient actions to take it back. There are no coincidences.

Yes, agree. Don't expect any of it to be easy. And accountability is necessary.

What a gentle reminder to return to nature. Indeed, and a balmy fall is my favourite time to do it. Thank you, Kathleen. Don’t forget to dig your bare feet in the dirt! 🤗

I'm with you on fall - and try to put my feet in the earth daily. Usually early morning while coffee is brewing - my cat wants me outside with her.😊

Agree on feet in the dirt! It has been saving me daily as my husband is recovering from surgery. The earth provides us so much and there she is right under our feet all the time.

Beautifully and logically written at the same time !

Inspiring.

Let's hope there are enough of us to realign things to the foundational truths you have so aptly made clear.

The red pill, once swallowed, opened many eyes. Who knew there were multiple red pills to be taken? It is hardest to accept that we just don't know much truth about anything we once thought were givens. It's much more difficult to live this way; sad actually. I still believe in one truth (Bible) that, in the end is the go to answer for all of it, regardless of what is happening, the answer is the same.

Yeah, multiple red pills.

We'll get through. We're made from the good stuff. :-)

Always so good to consider what the given is in any situation or ways of thinking. And usually not so easy to do. Thanks so much for this conversation and highlighting "givens."

Humanity can do this. Seeing through our own givens and being willing to stare fear and our shortcomings in the face will help.

Earth is on our side.

Thanks, Mary. There's just so much to see through now - especially all the stuff we thought we knew.

Yes, earth is on our side and we need to be on earth's side too.❤️‍🩹

Yes! “I suspect we’ll need to reorient ourselves again on this planet, with Nature.”

Kathleen - I attended a conference and heard this naturopath talk. It was quite profound. Dr Tracey Stroup’s slides will blow you away. Part One at timestamp 2:09

No doubt truth and lies are mixed.

I'm not feeling fear, hatred, despair, nor do I have a lack of faith in goodness or that this mess is righted.

And I agree, many deceptions and confusions along the way.

I think the end goal is fewer people and those remaining full on slaves, then cyborgs. It doesn't work. Humans win. That's what I see.

I think I get your point. Free will ultimately aligns with a larger will and purpose. The choice-less choice to serve the larger Good. Humans win via that alignment, in service to humanity and its Source. Conquer death? Not interested. We're already, imo, eternal beings. The form comes and goes, likely in a benign world, would result in much longer lives. The purpose is to live free, willing servants to love in creative expression. I think our answers are similar - though I don't link it to any particular individual. Jesus, in my view, would be an example of this level of service and purity of heart.
