Dear Kathleen, Thank you for this gem of a post. All of what you write has been scrambling around in my head, but instead of writing it, I go walking in the woods :) So, thank you for putting it on the page so eloquently.
Once you reach this mindset, it's interesting to be in observation mode. We all have had different levels of awareness - some stay stuck in one, others seem able to grow, change their mind, go forward, backward, etc. At 72, I certainly have been in them all.
This latest dump on humanity seems like Covid 2.0, and I think you're correct - something's coming. Some of us learned how to be more sovereign, while others will be ready with boxes of masks they never got rid of. That makes me sad more than anything else.
This: “Our Source is goodness and love. Not as a nice idea, not as a mythology and story, but as a truth, an essence. Humans who have not been captured are good. Humans who have been captured, can find their way back.”
And this: “We can and will change the world via our frequency, our connections, our humanity.
We are sophisticated energy beings capable of great things. We haven’t even scratched the surface of what that means. It’s an exciting time.”
I could not agree more, Kathleen, as you already know. So much Love to you, my friend.🌲🌲💚
"We all have had different levels of awareness - some stay stuck in one, others seem able to grow, change their mind, go forward, backward, etc. At 72, I certainly have been in them all."
So true - we have been all of them. And in a single lifetime, for many of us, no less!
Whatever comes, we are in good hands as you know. Love to you.
It makes me happy to think of you woods-wondering. My preference as well, though unlike you I still need a car to drive to a trail. (Perhaps that changes at some point.)
I was happy to feel moved to finally get something out on substack. It's always good to 'meet-up' in the comments section.
Hold this thought. Seeing that we are being manipulated is the first step of turning away from it. The question is ... where do we turn? We may not know right now. But soon, maybe, we will. That's my hope.
We turn to eternal, immutable, OBJECTIVE Natural Law (Golden Rule/Karmic Law/Universal Law/Cause & Effect). DO NOT INITIATE HARM TO ANOTHER SENTIENT BEING including supporting those that do. Separateness is an illusion. We infinitely powerful co-creators with free choice, governed by Natural Law' have, generationally, been coerced to believe, that morality is relative (satanism), when it is not and from that belief we choose immoral behavior including immoral consent to our aggregate karmic detriment, unwittingly self-perpetuating an unreal, unnatural, inversive, hellish slave construct of suffering. Both government and religion are inherently immoral, unnatural control constructs. We are a socially engineered devolved de facto satanic society. War, carnism, circumcision, abortion, vaxxing are all mass blood rituals to which most od humanity has become complicit = profound negative karmic debt reflected, proportionately, as our aggregate human experience. Those on the world stage serve those devoid of the divine spark, who, literally, need us (we don't need them) to survive in this realm, via generating our engagement with fear, violence and bloodshed. Everything is frequency. Only moral action, per Natural Law, manifests,, proportionate authentic freedom in the aggregate human experience, immutably, and visa versa. Humanity once, inherently, lived in accordance with Natural Law before usurped by a relatively few parasites. This illusory self-perpetuated control construct would come down virtually, overnight, if most of society would disengage from the unreal, fear-mongering, divisive, world stage actors and theatrics and reconnect with nature and Natural Law (reality). Our belief in and complicity to moral relativism is the glue that holds it up. The more moral a society, the more authentic freedom it will co-manifest.

"This illusory self-perpetuated control construct would come down virtually, overnight, if most of society would disengage from the unreal, fear-mongering, divisive, world stage actors and theatrics and reconnect with nature and Natural Law (reality)."
Couldn't agree more. Yes and yes. Thanks for the thoughtful comment Debrajmac.
We really do have everything we need. Appreciate your reflection. Best.
I'm seriously not trying to be preachy, but the answer is to turn to God through Jesus. Watch any true NDE story (I suggest Imagine Heaven with John Burke), read your Bible to see the history of the world (try Bible Recap). If you seek, you will find. It's a promise, but your heart has to be in the right place. By the way, intense suffering is the short route of getting there. Take care!
I don't disagree in a basic sense. However, as a retired minister who worked with churches and pastors who were in trouble, they would be saying the same things you are. I'm not being critical of you, because I believe you are sincere in what you say. But at the heart of this issue is the question of authenticity. What does an authentic faith look like in practice, not in words, but in practice? I should be able to see the authenticiy of your faith before you ever tell about your faith. This is how persons of faith disinguish themselves from those who proclaim their various identities as demanding some kind of respect. Thank you.
I love your reply! The fruits of the Spirit is how you tell, right? Words are meaningless without the love to back them up. If you read either my “I Can’t Imagine” substack or The Rebel’s Hike book that I published with a teen girl (preteen at the time it was written) you’ll see both are about exactly what you say is the heart of the issue. Like Kathleen, I’m doing my best to try to get people to see the light, especially the younger generations. (Kathleen can vouch for me I think. We’ve never actually met except through substack). It’s really exciting to see the people who know (know know without knowing everything) and not just accepting any narrative.
This essay is so well written, and is a beacon of hope. It really vanquishes the manufactured forces that separate and defeat humans. Thank you for this warm encouragement.
Amen and amen. I will sit quietly with you on a hill overlooking a forest of trees and we will talk of nature, of God, the moon and the stars. We will wonder at our smallness and realize that is how we are meant to be. Not all knowing, but wondrous of the world around us. Using the creation around us to sustain, both our body and spirit. Well said and the way out of the madness they are force feeding us as "our life". Refuse to engage the machine.♥♥
"I will sit quietly with you on a hill overlooking a forest of trees and we will talk of nature, of God, the moon and the stars.

You said it so succinctly. So poetically. And exactly - no need to engage the machine.
Thank you for that. And for being you. I trust life is treating you and yours well. Love to you, friend. 💝
Absolutely yes! So clear, Kathleen. Thank you. The more we disengage, the less power they hold over us. Their power relies solely on our participation. Once obedience by force comes into play, they know they have lost and it's only a matter of time. There's a wonderful piece from Unbekoming about structural limits that is well worth reading. https://unbekoming.substack.com/p/anthropological-reversibility-part
Quite the long read, but well thought out, well written, and added a couple of names to my connecting-of-dots. Big fan of the Ponerology Substack, and though disappointed Desmet seemed to avoid pointing at the guilty parties at the beginning of the plandemic, he does have some valuable insight into more neurotypical group psychology (though I prefer Eric Hoffer).
I've just skimmed the article once, but will save it as a valuable reference for my own musings.
Another name that dovetails well with this is Joseph Tainter and his book, 'The Collapse of Complex Societies'. And while looking up 'Turing's Proof', it seemed to be a process-oriented equivalent of Gödel's Incompleteness Theorems. I guess all roads do lead to Rome.
Bravo!! Kathleen. I'm so glad that you have addressed this momentous moment in time. You had so many great observations worth remembering, it's hard to choose one. But here's a couple blended together as my takeaway:
"Why would anyone view any of these tarnished institutions - including governments - and the pretend leaders of them - as authorities?"
"We should not, of course. They are not, of course."
"...And surely, once we grok that previously accepted authorities are no longer a thing, we quickly realize, we are the authority in our own lives,"
"We don’t go along with the efforts to corral us. We don’t send money to political parties. We don’t carry on fighting with our neighbors because they support the other corrupt team. That’s over now. Or it should be."
The divisiveness that resulted from all of this was so destructive, demoralizing and despiriting.
That alone is a crime against humanity. Thank you, my friend for speaking your truth.
And yes, I agree, that little house in the woods made me think of Barbara too!!
Generous, lovely Ronnie! Thank you, friend. I can always feel your support through the ethers.
I hope winter is treating you well. It's been a deep kind of hibernation for me, and I'm sensing a layer - or more - of cobwebs are clearing. It's quieter inwardly. I would guess that's true for many of us. The really bad news had to be exposed and that's what we're seeing, so great.
Ever notice, how the persons on the t.v. seem to know what they are talking about? The news man seems to know what is up! He intones every sentence correctly. The weather man seems to know. He is a real expert on today's weather. They only seem to know. In truth they know nothing
Yes, I have noticed. A world of talking heads - including those not on TV repeating what they hear. We've all been duped. And now, the gig is up. Yay for that.
I'm glad to see that you don't subscribe to the 'victory lap' Epstein releasers or 'this is part of their plan because they're always one step ahead.' It's significant that I can say 'the world is run by multi-millennial occult pedophile psychopaths' and people now nod. On both sides.
One of the 'revelations', I heard, was a Rothschild-by-marriage saying that the Rothschilds set up Hitler. I guess that was deemed obvious enough to come clean about. Makes my job filling in the blanks easier.
I just pulled a card from the alchemists deck by the person that Barbara really likes. It was synchronicity and says, "Do not underestimate the brave act of your attention to the details of your daily life, to the ecology of our world. What you notice matters. You matter."
In our Apocaloptimists Club, the miracles are swarming. Even without the details, I can tell that's happening for you too.
I just hit 40,000 words on OMGdess today, with the help of a long quote. Revelations swarming.
I'm interviewing Gabe on Sat on how he'd use the caret system to do what he'd like in his town. He's exactly who I wanted to start that series with.
Always thinking of you fondly, Kathleen. Always feeling connected, my mystical sister.
"Always thinking of you fondly, Kathleen. Always feeling connected, my mystical sister."
So good to read this, Tereza, as I feel very much the same.
"I just hit 40,000 words on OMGdess today, with the help of a long quote. Revelations swarming."
Wow. And I have no doubt your new book will be a fascinating read, Dot-Connector extraordinaire.
So many good things are coming in, as all this ugly shit releases. Layers falling off, that will not go back. I'm feeling the space clearing, the muck leaving. Mostly much less to say - at least for now - but my curiosity about the future grows along with my optimism.
I marvel at your ability to focus so well on subjects in the midst of so much change. But I also know we each have what's our to do, and you are doing yours.
Happy to hear on the miracles for the Apocoloptimists though not surprised. It's a miracle club itself.
I'll look forward to the interview with Gabe. More miracle wishes for you and yours. XOX
That's so kind of you to say, Sounder. I appreciate the reflection.
I'm not sure I'd agree that 'your way' intimidates - at least from my perspective - though the puzzling bit.... There's something to that, though I'd add puzzlement gently disrupts assumptions and is ultimately helpful. I'm glad you do what you do.
Home-made soups - the primary ingredient is love. How could it be anything other than sustaining? (A good friend of mine, with 5 grandkids, makes soups almost every day. As one of her grandkids told me - Gigi makes the best soup!)
Good to hear from you again. That quote about Western societies appears to be true for East Asia inclding, including Korea and China, not far from the semi-Western culture of Japan.
Though not writing much lately, I am also trying to triangulate between current events, history, and inner struggles to try and transcend the current madness and try to transcend the current ebbs and flows of our awareness of bad actors.
Hope things are well with you, and keep up the good fight!
I have no doubt you have the right ingredients needed to navigate. But damn, what a time. And I hope you're managing some fun in the process.
My writing has obviously slowed too - at least the public bit - and I think of it as big rearrangements happening in the background. It will eventually settle - at least I assume that!.
Mostly just riding these new currents. It feels more fluid - do you feel that too? So much has to just move through. Sort of like - don't even bother trying to think about it, it will just slow the process. (Or something like that.)
Wishing you an easy ride, and happy surprises. Very best.
Hey again Kathleen (and I see long-lost buddy Mary P. somewhere here).
I've been missing both of your voices lately ... but I know how the stars do need to be lined up for those bursts of creativity. I am hoping the silence is a rearrangement of the subconscious. A realignment of the stars while we ride the rogue wave.
Though I've come to think of Yuval Harari as a spokesman for the Davo-WEFies I so detest, in 'Sapiens', I think he was correct in observing that a highly organized society is antithetical to the fully individuated human (and those creative bursts) ... and Japan Inc. appears to be one of the poster-children for this.
More often than not, the creative problem-solving mind is seen as another nail sticking up that must be hammered down in a silent war of all against all. And what the unspoken cultural norms can't handle, the powers-that-be are busy drafting into yet another mandate, law, or tax of our time ... anything to keep us compliant. And quiet.
And then, my own worst enemy. Me. 😂
The more I read, listen, and observe ... the less confident I am in saying anything with certainty or conviction.
'Silence is golden' ... or so say those who have captured the exclusive authority to speak. You are one of the few inclusive voices that call to the best in us, and can evoke a chorus.
"I am hoping the silence is a rearrangement of the subconscious. A realignment of the stars while we ride the rogue wave."
I think you're right. Lots of rearranging going on, plenty of churning up and we can assume, release too.
"The more I read, listen, and observe ... the less confident I am in saying anything with certainty or conviction."
I've been in the same boat. Sort of. like trying to set up camp on a cliff that's about to give way. With all the running psyops and now AI generated 'content' discerning what's reliable comes with new meaning. (Trees have been consistent.)
"More often than not, the creative problem-solving mind is seen as another nail sticking up that must be hammered down in a silent war of all against all. And what the unspoken cultural norms can't handle, the powers-that-be are busy drafting into yet another mandate, law, or tax of our time ... anything to keep us compliant. And quiet."
Yes - I think it's global phenomenon, though each culture has its own particulars when it comes to stifling.
Quick aside, I went to my book club last night, and during a lull in the discussion, mentioned the Epstein dump. Given I was surrounded by left-leaning women, I assumed a slanted take and pile-on about Trump. To my surprise, and ultimately I took this as positive - there was silence and some rolled eyes. No one touched it. They've lost their confidence in what's what, too.
In the churning of these waves, I do hope when we reach the calming shore, most of us will be on the proximate same beach, relieved to be on solid ground again.
Thanks for the generous comment, Steve. Good to hear from you. I wish you happy swimming along with many good things.
Glad to see a post from you, Kathleen! I feel like I've been on the same waking up journey as you and this post reflects my ride as well. I know the basics of what is happening by headlines only (horror show!), but I spend my energy loving those around me. That's it. ❤️
I'm not surprised, Joan! I think many of us are getting to that same place. We do what we do, live as we want and make our own patch better. Pretty soon, it's our world.
Thank you for being you. And for reading and commenting. 😘
My house off grid in a forest and yes today I'm focused on some water pumping landscaping g and music production.
Excess Deaths AU reached out via email to ask me to inform you he has been removed from substack but still sees your emails and reads your work via email.
My own personal conclusion about all this is that 'they' (the self-styled rulers such as the politicians, the various monarchies, the Useless Eliters™) have become completely irrelevant.
Sure, they still are exerting effects in this world, but if we (The People) withdraw our consent, they will flounder, and perhaps even shrivel up.
Dear Kathleen, Thank you for this gem of a post. All of what you write has been scrambling around in my head, but instead of writing it, I go walking in the woods :) So, thank you for putting it on the page so eloquently.
Once you reach this mindset, it's interesting to be in observation mode. We all have had different levels of awareness - some stay stuck in one, others seem able to grow, change their mind, go forward, backward, etc. At 72, I certainly have been in them all.
This latest dump on humanity seems like Covid 2.0, and I think you're correct - something's coming. Some of us learned how to be more sovereign, while others will be ready with boxes of masks they never got rid of. That makes me sad more than anything else.

Yes, I was happy to see you in my Inbox, Kathleen! Who knows what the future will bring? If ever there was a time to live fully in the moment... XOXO
Wise words, Barbara. 😘
Hold this thought. Seeing that we are being manipulated is the first step of turning away from it. The question is ... where do we turn? We may not know right now. But soon, maybe, we will. That's my hope.
May that hope ignite in a growing fire of freedom, felt by all. Best to you, Ed.
We turn to eternal, immutable, OBJECTIVE Natural Law (Golden Rule/Karmic Law/Universal Law/Cause & Effect). DO NOT INITIATE HARM TO ANOTHER SENTIENT BEING including supporting those that do.

"The external ‘reality’ mirrors our own awareness - to some significant degree"
Thanks Kathleen, you have a gift for making growing awareness an inviting experience. (I am afraid my way does more to puzzle or intimidate people. )
"Our Source is goodness and love."
And our requirement and/or responsibility is to reflect that love.
That's so kind of you to say, Sounder. I appreciate the reflection.
I'm not sure I'd agree that 'your way' intimidates - at least from my perspective - though the puzzling bit.... There's something to that, though I'd add puzzlement gently disrupts assumptions and is ultimately helpful. I'm glad you do what you do.

So beautifully expressed, Kathleen…as always.
I make soup✨💛

Hey again Kathleen (and I see long-lost buddy Mary P. somewhere here).
I've been missing both of your voices lately ... but I know how the stars do need to be lined up for those bursts of creativity. I am hoping the silence is a rearrangement of the subconscious. A realignment of the stars while we ride the rogue wave.
Though I've come to think of Yuval Harari as a spokesman for the Davo-WEFies I so detest, in 'Sapiens', I think he was correct in observing that a highly organized society is antithetical to the fully individuated human (and those creative bursts) ... and Japan Inc. appears to be one of the poster-children for this.
More often than not, the creative problem-solving mind is seen as another nail sticking up that must be hammered down in a silent war of all against all. And what the unspoken cultural norms can't handle, the powers-that-be are busy drafting into yet another mandate, law, or tax of our time ... anything to keep us compliant. And quiet.
And then, my own worst enemy. Me. 😂
The more I read, listen, and observe ... the less confident I am in saying anything with certainty or conviction.
'Silence is golden' ... or so say those who have captured the exclusive authority to speak. You are one of the few inclusive voices that call to the best in us, and can evoke a chorus.
Much thanks, Kathleen.
It's good to hear from you again.
Hey Steve,
"I am hoping the silence is a rearrangement of the subconscious. A realignment of the stars while we ride the rogue wave."
I think you're right. Lots of rearranging going on, plenty of churning up and we can assume, release too.
"The more I read, listen, and observe ... the less confident I am in saying anything with certainty or conviction."
I've been in the same boat. Sort of. like trying to set up camp on a cliff that's about to give way. With all the running psyops and now AI generated 'content' discerning what's reliable comes with new meaning. (Trees have been consistent.)
"More often than not, the creative problem-solving mind is seen as another nail sticking up that must be hammered down in a silent war of all against all. And what the unspoken cultural norms can't handle, the powers-that-be are busy drafting into yet another mandate, law, or tax of our time ... anything to keep us compliant. And quiet."
Yes - I think it's global phenomenon, though each culture has its own particulars when it comes to stifling.
Quick aside, I went to my book club last night, and during a lull in the discussion, mentioned the Epstein dump. Given I was surrounded by left-leaning women, I assumed a slanted take and pile-on about Trump. To my surprise, and ultimately I took this as positive - there was silence and some rolled eyes. No one touched it. They've lost their confidence in what's what, too.
In the churning of these waves, I do hope when we reach the calming shore, most of us will be on the proximate same beach, relieved to be on solid ground again.
Thanks for the generous comment, Steve. Good to hear from you. I wish you happy swimming along with many good things.
Very good. I share your interest in serving young people. Thank you both.
Glad to see a post from you, Kathleen! I feel like I've been on the same waking up journey as you and this post reflects my ride as well. I know the basics of what is happening by headlines only (horror show!), but I spend my energy loving those around me. That's it. ❤️
I'm not surprised, Joan! I think many of us are getting to that same place. We do what we do, live as we want and make our own patch better. Pretty soon, it's our world.
Thank you for being you. And for reading and commenting. 😘
You are held hostage to an ideology that is a simulation of reality. Not once, did you say what you love.
Here’s another way to look at life.

My house off grid in a forest and yes today I'm focused on some water pumping landscaping g and music production.
Excess Deaths AU reached out via email to ask me to inform you he has been removed from substack but still sees your emails and reads your work via email.
Hi Thumbnail Green.
Lucky you. 🌲
Excess has been removed by substack? WTF? If so, I'm sad to hear it.
I appreciate your passing on the message. Please send my greetings and best wishes along. And best to you.
A very positive outlook!
My own personal conclusion about all this is that 'they' (the self-styled rulers such as the politicians, the various monarchies, the Useless Eliters™) have become completely irrelevant.
Sure, they still are exerting effects in this world, but if we (The People) withdraw our consent, they will flounder, and perhaps even shrivel up.
Good riddance!
Exactly that, Neil, thank you. Irrelevant. In the bin. We're over it.
The quicker we stop entangling the faster they go. So glad we agree. :-)
Best.
