Not interested in "half-off." Just want predators to BACK OFF. 🖤   I was raised to "bless" my food, before eating it. Religious. Dutiful. As a kid, I did it out of head-bowing habit. It didn't yet come from my heart. Now -- and maybe as a result of spending nearly a year alone (all-one) -- I do much more than bless my food. I speak to it, and give it my thanks directly. My yearning, my watering mouth, is the prayer. Fruits and veggies are what I mostly eat. It comes from the store dirty (seen and unseen)...  ...so I wash it with vinegar and soap. During this "bath," I appreciated its weight. I genuinely thanked it for its strength and health that would soon be transferred to me.  Then I cubed it up, looking forward to its yummy taste, and pleasant texture.  I sauteed it in olive oil, where I had already simmered two diced garlic cloves. Then added hulled hemp seeds, parmesan cheese, black pepper, cayenne pepper, Himalayan salt, and pasta sauce.  Perfect and easy blend of sweet, and spicy.  This very basic bowl of food was eaten with extreme thanks. And awareness of life. I have never valued arbitrarily designated -- or cancelled -- "days". They are ALL mango delicious. I am grateful to be FREE. I am grateful to be ME. I am grateful for YOU. 💋 This (cancelled) Thanksgiving brought me a surprise, serpentine encounter! 🐍 YOU ARE SO POWERFUL. That's all I've ever tried to say. 💜 RESOURCES:
This show has been musically-enriched with Shaolin Dub’s “Growing Resistance.” 💜 SHE SNAPPED.
And was left with zero tolerance for censorship, and controlled, manipulated narratives intended to destroy. Exactly what percentage of fecal matter is acceptable to eat?? 💩💩 Stop playing with their toys. MIGRATE. I do not believe in the legitimacy of the pandemic. I CALL B.S.
The test results are inaccurate. The case numbers are exaggerated. The death rates have been manipulated. And the recovery rate is 99%. The public has been given no consistent or verifiable PROOF that the pandemic is the dangerous killer that the WHO and CDC claims it is. In fact, oceans of proof of the opposite has surfaced, but platforms like Facebook (and Twitter and Youtube) have wildly censored and suppressed such proof. With biased "fact-checkers" who have helped weaponize and politicize a very dangerous fiction. Why would I want to 'socialize' in a place that helps promote the spread of a false reality? It's beyond sickening. I regret that, over the years, I created a communicative-dependency on a platform I can no longer trust. I've been putting off doing this for years, because of deep sentiment, documented memories, stored media. ATTACHMENTS. They make you feel bound, and incapable of moving away from things that are no longer good for you. But twenty-nine days is more than enough time to confirm connection with whomever I am meant to remain connected. 💜 Earlier today I received Instagram's updated Terms of Use.
This is to advise those I am connected with on Facebook and Instagram that, prior to December 20th, 2020, I will permanently delete those accounts, and cease all activity on those platforms (not that I was terribly active anyway). I have nothing to hide. Nothing about my life, content, or conversations are shameful. But the language of Facebook, Inc.'s terms clearly say that a user's continued presence on, and use of, their apps, is a sign of agreement with those terms. And I do not agree with them, nor trust their policies or practices. FREE SPEECH MATTERS. More than sanitized speech. Control breeds contempt, not civility. So, this marks my 30-day count-down. After December 20, 2020, please connect with me here on my website, and on these platforms that support free expression:
Biden is trying to slide into the White House and its medical meetings, WHILE Trump’s legal team has sufficient evidence to prove treasonous election fraud.
There are two, contrary realities appearing at the same time! Both camps mock each other for being deluded and disconnected from reality. But reality is being MANIPULATED and SUPPRESSED through unimaginable censorship and wicked control of diverse expression. The public is misled, because of the human tendency to want our beliefs reinforced, rather than challenged. And that keeps ERRONEOUS beliefs firmly in place. Want to know what's really going on? Be daring enough to read beyond any narrative you cling to. And best of all... CLING TO NO NARRATIVE.

Question ALL that has been told, while the world has been held captive with mass fear, confusion, censorship, and control. Do not trust or obey those who give commands, without demonstrated care. Genocide is very uncaring! As is deliberate economic collapse. And planetary mental warfare. Calling something "science" doesn't *make* it true. Scientists LIE. Politicians and mainstream journalists do it professionally. CONSCIOUS LAWYERS and judiciary warriors, what y'all think?? One-minute SAMPLE above. ⬆️ FULL episode below. ⬇️
One-minute SAMPLE above. ⬆️ FULL episode below. ⬇️ I'm a student of Universal Law. The law of polarity says, "Everything is Dual. Everything has poles. Everything has its pair of opposites. Like and unlike are the same. Opposites are identical in nature, but different in degree.” What's the difference between hot and cold? Just a number of degrees, but they both share a continuum of temperature.
Democrats and Republicans share a continuum of partisanship. According to the law of polarity, Democrats and Republicans are identical in nature, but different in degree. The ENDS of the poles are emphasized, rather than the shared continuum. The shared humanity. As a result, there is auto-hate, all the time, from every angle. If your body was divided against itself -- aka "auto-immune disease" -- it would not function optimally. The same is true of a nation. Psychological and spiritual WARfare. Did you know that the root of the word 'WAR' is 'confuse'? And the definition of "confuse" means 'to mix and mingle things until they are indistinguishable.' Indistinguishable. Not clearly perceived. Incapable of telling apart. That's a perfect description of covid protocols and death rates. US election results. And most of the happenings this year! Confused is a mental state many of us have probably been feeling. The connection to be drawn is that CONFUSE is the essence of WAR, and warfare is what we have been actively engaged in for 8 straight months. Everyone wouldn't consciously call it that, but everyone's physiology does. Our nervous systems have all been doing their best to regulate us through nearly a year of sustained, alarming fear and a reality that has become indistinguishable from most dystopic fiction. While grounded at home, functioning under various degrees of war-shock and trauma... no longer sure how to even connect with each other, humanity inadvertently turned on each other. Is that a RED hat on your head?! Or, are you still crying over THAT?! The mass confusion makes us act as if we are each other's enemy, and we are not! Just as the AIR is not our enemy. And the SUN is not our enemy. And HUMAN CONTACT is not our enemy. Chronic and sustained fear is the enemy. It was planted early this year, and nurtured every single waking moment. Fear has seeded a lot of terrible blooming fruit, including:
And all this irrational horror is being inflicted upon impressionable, developing CHILDREN. In full honesty, how many adults did you know -- pre-Covid -- who were daring enough to live life as they wanted? Very few. Imagine the weak and wounded chickens that will wobble home to roost, as a result of being socialized into BLIND DOCILITY. Remember that slavery was LEGAL. This means that ruling powers can and do get it wrong. Like now. Ruling powers got it wrong. They twisted life. With highly effective confusion that keeps us at each other's throat, while ruling powers do exactly what they want, and cause incalculable harm to the entire planet, and all life on it. What do I propose? Glad you asked! :-) Go through this with me, if you like. It's called The Lovingkindness Prayer, and I cannot do it with my eyes and or heart being changed in some beneficial way. Treating others as you want to be treated is one thing. But praying for the happiness and well-being of someone considered an enemy... it might sound too lofty to even bother with, but did you ever consider that an 'enemy' who was whole, would no longer be an enemy? And that is why I pray for the WHOLENESS of those in power. Follow along with me, and see if you notice anything:
Thanks for doing that journey with me! As a reward for the hard work this week, next week, we have a sweet treat from a Featured Voice sharing about "Empathy + Ecstasy!" Stay tuned. Stay tender.

I woke up craving gentleness. Wanting to feel it. Wanting to experience it in such abundance, that I have plenty to froth and spill over anyone in my vicinity.
But gentleness feels very distant right now. So, geek that I am, I looked it up... hoping to find an etymological clue that could help. And I think I did... "of the same clan" The word gentle was originally associated with nobility, and courteous, non-violent behavior. The historical use of the word suggests to me that humans found it difficult to be unkind to those *inside* their clan. And, problematically, "off with the heads!" of anyone *outside* their clan. A lot of the world is torn into opposing clans that assume the very worst about each other. I remember a few days after George Floyd's murder... the world seemed softened into puree for a brief moment, because human hearts were appalled and broken and righteously outraged. And positive alliances were forming, and eyes were opening... ...but it didn't take long for massive confusion to come and convince us that we are each other's enemy. These days, we can trigger and threaten each other with our mere presence. Where did innocence and grace go? Relationships crack and fade because a belief about something (which might actually be incorrect), now holds more importance than a living person we have known and loved and trusted for years. This year has shaken and stolen so much from decent people, and fragile ecosystems. It is tempting to hold one or two particular faces (e.g. Trump, Biden, Fauci, Gates, 'Karen,' a neighbor, etc.) responsible for all the hell that has been unleashed... ...but as much as any one of us may think we know it is, of course, still only a fraction of The Ultimate Truth. <--- This humbles me. It reminds me to generate gentleness for myself, my own blindness and ignorance, and each precious being I encounter. I have done this imperfectly, and hope to repair those relations that are meant for me to keep. And I give extreme thanks for each and every relation I have, that has withstood the fury of 2020. A gentler dawn comes. 🌅 One-minute sample above. Full episode below. Do you have a bike stored inside, that you haven't been riding? If you live in Belize, you might feel discouraged to ride because of:
Alejandro, of Santa Elena, can repurpose your bike with a custom-welded stand to hold it stationery, as you ride inside. Cost is BZ$95.00. Contact him directly at 636-6706. I dreamt that a large, fly-like insect had partially entered my right ear.
It was the most disgusting thing to semi-experience. I say 'semi-experience' because it felt like much more than a dream. It was as though I was hovering above my body, and watching it happen in real-time... this repulsive thing half slithered inside my ear. I focused, seized, and pulled it right out. It was so graphic and disturbing... and I seldom have such 'dreams,' that I felt compelled to share it, as a heads-up. As a caution toward the things that we allow into our ears. The fly was a metaphor for filthy (as in foul and rotten) thoughts and ideas. The fly was neither Democrat, nor Republican. The fly was a terrible amalgamation of things that oppose life: despair, rage, isolation, hatred, division, disease, fear. All these things are flying around, looking for ears to drop their nasty eggs inside. I don't propose ear-muffs, or walking around with our hands over our ears in avoidance of reality... but we CAN decide what kind of ecosystem will breed and grow inside our head, despite the appearance of things outside. That was the message of the dream. Sleep well. Wake well.

And as someone said to me at some point, everyone is fighting a battle that you know nothing about. And by going into suffering with a somewhat neutral awareness or a curiosity, it cannot but make you closer to your fellow humans, I think if you learn to navigate it. And we’re all going to face the death of loved ones, we’re all going to face different types of trauma, we’re all going to face betrayal, we’re all going to face these common ingredients of the human experience. And for me, I suppose the podcast and the writing has been a lifeline as well, because I can take my experience and hopefully transmute it into something that is of service to other people. And I can find some redemption in that, right? I can find some meaning in it, as opposed to these memories and the traumas that are stored somatically being this meaningless infliction of anguish and horror and disgust, I can somehow translate that into something that is positive for someone.” ============================================== Those words were not said by me… but by Tim Ferriss. They’re especially meaningful to me, because in the first episode of the podcast *I* recently launched -- The Work Of The Empath -- I say outright that (my experience of) the work of the empath is to transmute suffering. Tim's episode is nearly 2.5 hours long, and talks about his (weekly) experience of sexual trauma from the ages of 2 to 4. In an odd way, it almost seems like the height of his considerable accomplishments, might match the depth of his considerable pain. I’m encouraged by his bravery, and also by the capacity of his listeners to ingest deep, long-form, transformative media. Statistically, many of you will know childhood sexual trauma first-hand… with predators both outside, and inside, one’s own family. My heart aches for each of you, and all who have ever been unlovingly touched.
