Goosebumps while I read this. Thank you. I can relate and you put a smile on my face. Trying to keep my mouth zipped lately too. Still no job as unjabbed RN but would never capitulate.💞

Thank you so much for this encouraging report! I am traversing some similar territory, reweaving ways of relating to others. It is good to hear of your opening the door to increased solidarity with awakening normies and building new, authentic community.

Wow. My friend...how do you get inside my head? You put into words, once again, exactly how I am feeling. I have to keep things light on my blog, but once in a while I let shit fly. These invisible steel cords that bind us will be greater than we could ever imagine. Yes, the betrayal is great. And...they did it to themselves. They are going to need us. I have ONE good friend who got the jabs "for her mother". I was quite shocked, but she is still alive and as far as I know suffering no ill health. But, we always want to ask when someone dies, or has health issues. Unhealthy is the new normal. I know more people with issues than not, now. And, it is NOT age. Bah! I am treading lightly with new people in a new neighborhood. Of the 50 or so new acquaintances, I can say for sure that 6 are "like me". There are some who are awake, but they caved under pressure to get the jab because someone told them to. I, for one, have NO tolerance for the weak minded. It will kill, and it has. I get your analogy. Hugs to my east coast friend.♥

Thank you for this. I too got “lost in my anger, my impatience and hurt.” That really stuck out to me. I was unapproachable and unable to just listen and be quiet. I have been better at just listening lately also. Thank you for your optimism and message of hope. I know it’s been crazy the last 3 years with much evil and uncertainty, but there have been lots of messages of despair, sadness, and hopelessness. Like we are doomed. I know we face many challenges, but I think we win in the end also. I could go on, but I just want to express my gratitude and agreement with everything you wrote. Have a Happy New Year!

Beautiful story! I am not sure if I am quite there yet.. just when I think I have processed all of it, I notice how heartbroken I am, still. We moved.. and while I am meeting amazing people, it is lonely sometimes.

Here is my “Clueless” story: https://open.substack.com/pub/thecriticalmiddle/p/the-smoldering-rage-of-the-unvaccinated-ba1?utm_source=direct&r=1sr0c7&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web

The 'seeds of doubt' you've planted will come to fruit in time. We must all keep up our 'noisy' teachings so the lemmings have a chance before it's too late for them. The WEF have become so brazen they think they've got a strangle hold upon humanity, so what can we do about it?

Keep on keeping on with our truthful messages to as many people as possible.

'LIABILITY' for DEADLY VAX MAKERS must be reinstated immediately! Common Sense must prevail.

Very moving, on point, and exceptionally well written. Thank you.

Let's make it a Happy New Year without the WEF/WHO/CDC/FDA/Gates/Tedros/Fauci/Bourla/Trudeau and the other monsters that bit off more than they can chew! Mick.

Thank you for sharing this, and your thoughts through the year.

For friends and acquaintances, gentleness is important. Real listening allows one to see those moments where connections can be made. Through our personal connections, I remain hopeful that disarmed moments can arise, where even the most strongly held beliefs can be eroded. Those personal ties and relationships are a mighty foil to the propaganda, but it still requires temperance from each of us. It is, in the end, a challenge of patience—tempered by love—even in the face of the perceived urgency of now.

Wishing you strength and courage. 🙏🏽

What you describe here is the beginning of what could be considered an archetype of the future. You describe an awareness of the world that many people cannot see. Not only do you see it with clarity, but also with understanding, kindness, and the recognition that we must change in order to live our lives.

While you justly felt anger towards your friend, you also felt a kind of pity that rises from a longing for the restoration of your friendship. I'm glad that has begun. I know that this a wide spread experience especially in families where love ones didn't listen to one another, but bowed to our media masters expertise.

These two paragraphs in our post particularly resonates with me.

"To that end, I’m building a new community - in my little neighborhood of historic houses and stone walls - on the east coast of these once united states. I’ve wanted this and lately it’s just happening. My pre-Covid community fell apart; naturally I was missing the warmth of it.

It could only have happened now - these new ties. Until recently, I was still too raw and unable to not talk about what was happening. It’s only in the last few months that I can pull off sounding enough like a normie to get my foot in the door."

I have been focused on strengthening and supporting communities my whole career. You are the first that I've seen who is talking about creating a new community. I believe this is the case because people cannot see the context that they are living in. This lack of awareness has many sources. But it has one great detrimental effect. Isolation leading to the loss of a sense of being a person of value.

We are not solely individuals. We are individual persons in the context of relationships that provide so many things that we need for a good and flourishing life. There are plenty of examples in film and text where local communities are presented as narrow, exclusive places. Many places are like that. But there are also places where people have their arms open to their neighbors to build the kind of shared community that lives as an ideal in the minds of most of us.

What we have realize is that the institutional structure of communities, cities, states, and nations have changed. They are no longer serving the people as they once did. They have been compromised by much of what I call a culture of simulation. It is for this reason that I see how important it is to begin to create new institutions of community. As these legacy institutions fail, new, parallel ones can be created. This requires awareness, both self-awareness and situational awareness. Having read your post this evening, I was taken back to a series of posts that I did a decade ago on awareness. I think it is time to rework them for posting in the near future. Thank you. May this year be a year where community is restored and expanded to be something new and fresh for you and all your neighbors.

I’m so glad I sometimes just click through the stacks of my faves to see if I missed an entry. This is such a great read. What a gem I would have missed.

From Clarifying Moments:

“In a surprising way, I feel that more of me has shown up in the last two years. I’m more here, more fully in my potential as a human being. Not because I’m special. Simply because I see humanity under attack and want to defend it all. “

Oh yes. Me too!

Now from this stack:

“A good thing to remember about broken hearts is while painful, they also have a way of making more room.”

Oh yes. I have made many more friends than I have lost. And they truly are kindred spirits.

“Getting enough of us to see the global threat remains a key component going forward. “

I agree wholeheartedly.

“Some of us are still coming to terms with this dystopian backdrop to our world. Some of us are now, unofficially, into the integration and moving forward phase.”

Yep. That where I am right now.

Unfortunately I feel like I cannot sound like a “normie”. I had to tell some old neighbors why I kept making excuses for not planning a night out with them. That I felt I could not dine with them without talking about the dangers of the shots. Because I care about them (they are all jabbed many times over - in their 70’s). Of course I got no takers when I offered up my sources for that knowledge. Sadly, one of them has a daughter in her 30’s that was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. It would just be cruel to tell her why, most likely, her daughter has cancer. “Go me”

I find bullshit, shallow conversations tedious and excruciatingly painful. I will pray I can get to the point of where you have evolved Kathleen.

A friend is about to come into town to visit her elderly father. Her 92 year old mother died of an abdominal blood clot this past April (I feel sure due to the numerous jabs she received). We are still close, but I find that I cannot get past the fact that she sided with my brothers when they treated our sister so badly when she and her family refused to get the shots (thank God - sadly I was not as smart as my twin). And also the fact that she blackmailed her daughter into giving her young children the shots. I guess I should be glad that she doesn’t live near me. I’m dreading her visit. 😢. But I will provide her mercy because I love her that much. To try and wake her would just be cruel. Again, “go me”. But yes, I will be there for her if the awakening ever happens. I tried to educate her last January on the fact that there was indeed early treatment to which she said let’s not talk about Covid, vaccines or politics (politics? WTF?). If she ever says why didn’t you tell me, I’ll find it hard to say, I TRIED!!!!

I hope and pray the love I have for her will repair the broken bridge.

Kathleen. I think people know in their guts and in their hearts what the truth is. Their minds just haven’t caught up. Yes, so many “more heartaches coming”. It’s going to be horribly painful to watch the great awakening 😢

I agree. There is NO WAY humanity loses this battle.

I’m so very sorry about Frank. So tragic.

Yes. I will find more joy. Some days are harder than others in that I have to really search for it.

Thank you for your writings. You speak to me in a way few can. God bless you Kathleen.

I have been worried about the injections from the start of all of this, going on two years and more.

I'm certainly not going to say that the injections are going to kill off everyone who was injected with Spike Proteins, although other, such as Dr. Dolores Cahill are. It's a possibility that a large number of people are going to be. And it doesn't have to directly kill or permanently disable everyone, because if even a fraction of the people who were jabbed are "Suddenly" eliminated from the work force the result would be a economic collapse.

Consider someone like Frank. At 55, he had a good ten years or more left in his working career. Think about how much experience and knowledge was lost in his untimely death. Besides the personal tragedy of his death the economic loss will reverberate, now multiply that by the already 1.7 million people of working age who have been lost to the work force through death and disability over the last two years. Or the additional 7500 people who are dying (2,500) or becoming disabled (5,000) each day in the US. It's hard to look past the horrendous human tragedy of this, but when you do it's apparent that an economic train wreck is in the making.

I've been mentally processing this for months and I can barely get a grasp of what's happening.

What happens when all of a "Suddenly" tens of millions of people realize that they are slowly poisoned and that...O by the way, the economic situation in the country is so bad that they are on their own, because even if the government would send you another stimi check there's nothing to buy.

What's it look like when several hundred million people have a mental collapse at the time? We may be finding out soon enough.

Good post for today thanks. You write: "Small moments that speak of a tidal shift; big changes coming". Yes indeed. As I reminded myself once after dreaming of mountain lions. The female lions bide their time gracefully but they get the job done. Bring the lions!

You have almost perfectly expressed my own sentiments in regards to this past year. I too am trying not to make waves, but gentle ripples. Not so easily done but mandatory if we hope for success going forward.
