Thank YOU, Teresa.

The Fox and CNN drones have people speaking and thinking in the same overly simplistic terms they use. I appreciate you reading my post and sharing your nuanced views.

Thanks, Jerome. You certainly nailed a big part of the recent equation. The masking is indeed unnerving.

Thanks Mickey for this helpful perspective and reality check. Personally, I'd rather wake up in the forest than in any city in the world, but it's amazing to me how adaptable people are and how they can thrive in many ways in such crowded and stressful conditions. So glad that there are people like you in our world!

Thanks, Will! I've lived my entire life in NYC but have also been blessed to enjoy time in nature. So, yes, I get it and I sometimes wonder what my life would've been like if I hadn't been put into the position of having to be so adaptable!

Yes - so well said - it seems that if we can embrace who we are now, we can embrace whatever it took to get us here.... and of course.... the wheel of rebirth goes round & round...

Hmm...I wonder where I'll end up next...

Yes - and will you recognize yourself? - and will we recognize each other? I know you'll keep up your work, wherever that is....!

You're too kind, Will, but thank you. I trust that, on some level, people who have connected on one timeline can recognize each other on a different timeline.

I hope you are right. I have a couple friends who love NYC and went there every few years, some to celebrate old and new. As for myself I avoid every city over 20000 people. I live in one of 2500 and that is just my size LOL

I can only imagine what my life would be like and who I'd be if I had managed to avoid large cities.

P.S. I hope I'm right, too!

Thanks for pointing this out. I've also heard the rumors about NYC's decline and thought, well, NYC has always had troubles... I do miss living in a big city. Really liked the variety, the diversity of people, places and things to do. But I would think that living in NYC would be hellish right now, considering the intense brainwashing. It's sad to see people who used to be rebels--punk rockers, gang-bangers, radical "activists", etc., going along with the mandates. Some people think that directed energy weapons or some sort of sophisticated mind control techniques using technology were used to brainwash people. It is disturbing but also fascinating to watch.

Thank you, Meri. I sometimes wish the explanation were that simple but, for the record, plenty of New Yorkers are awake. When I wear my "I will not comply" baseball cap or my "Make 1984 Fiction Again" t-shirt, I get lots of positive comments!
