So many people in those activist circles recapitulate the same basic class structure and bien pensant fatuity they condemn in their rhetoric. They eventually end up living in intellectual gated communities. What a shame...

I'm glad to have connected here, Mickey. You keep it real.

Such words, coming from you, reassure me about the paths I've chosen. Thank you, James.

Helping people train their bodies and or their minds; coach. A certain generousity, patience. I appreciate how you have evolved regarding activism. Seems much of the problems we have been herded into caring about are about manipulation of society. Remember Y2K? I thought we were all gonna die and....nothing happened, except things like a lot of wood stoves and generators were purchased. Here is a few stories about that, for some reason I woke up wondering about Y2K this morning in the context of 'things being used to scare us about the future'.

Thank you, Jacquelyn, for your kind words. And for the powerful reminder of how we are programmed to fear and worry. Such a reminder never reaches an expiration date. I yearn for myself and most others to fully heed these words from the Sermon on the Mount: "Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?”

A deep and practical bit of wisdom. Thank you.

Thanks, Mickey. CJ Hopkins has similar story - a lefty favorite, until he began questioning what can not be questioned. They didn't appreciate the mirror he held up to them.

Go, you.

Thank you! 😇

Sadly, I have learned in more recent years that all across the spectrum, they loathe that mirror.

Expand full comment

Yeah, I know. What they see ain't very pretty is it?

What's strange to me is that I too have often disliked what I've seen in the mirror but it *always* inspires me to change.

Same for me. It's uncomfortable for sure, but, so what? Better than the work required to hide from yourself!

Amen.

Yes, I agree. Both have been "go-tos" for me in the last three years.

all these that thought to be freedom fighter now turned to sheep. Former friends fall in that category. What went wrong? Why did they all of a sudden become followers instead of searching for what is real? Was it fear? But one of them told me early on, when I pointed out the connection to the military, that this virus is barely harmful, still ran for 3 jabs... they know the truth but why don't they follow up on their knowledge? Why do they still believe the lies the woke newspapers tell them? They have seen welensky admit that less than 5 % of so called covid deaths are real, but still quote the million deaths in the US. They say one thing and act the other...

Nice to see all these pics over time. Wow Mickey !

Very cool to see the old photos.

Thank you, Lynn. It's wild to have to them become "old photos"!

Loved this log of your journey to here and how you are living life on your own terms. What we need is more discernment, the ability of our higher alignments to resonate more likely to our mind/brains so we know the truth. "I stand receptive to the overshadowing Spiritual Soul and Truth is made known to me."

Amen. 🙏

There are no coincidences. Our lives proceed along to the p!aces we are supposed to be. For example, you, I and everyone else had their reasons for getting on Substack. Except for that "coincidence", your path and mine would never have crossed. I am very pleased that they did.

As am I, my friend!

There are no coincidences, I say that at least 5 times a day. Everything and everyone we come in contact with, either in person or online, are there for a reason. I am certainly glad to have crossed paths with Mickey Z. and others here on Substack. “So much to do, so little time”, Joker. I like to say, so much to learn, so little time! Such a brief moment in this reality to Remember Who We Really Are: Beings of Light, having human experiences. ❤️

Right back at ya, HE! I always light up when I see I have a notification from you. ❤️

Why do you think you have not been included in the Medical Freedom Movement? I know Dr Sherri Tenpenny who has been in the trenches for decades has not been.

Expand full comment

I'm not sure, Mary, but it could be because I'm not as single-minded as others who are featured prominently. I say this honestly and without resentment. I've learned that I can do my best work if I remain a free agent.

As for Dr. Tenpenny, I don't know but I will look into it.

Thank you for this comment.

Definitely seems like a new team was brought in for this operation. They always start off with I'm not anti-vax and the message is we will do it better next time. Dr Tennpenny would be a great person to interview. I like to be a free agent too.

Thank you, fellow free agent. I will reach out to Dr. Tennpenny.

This was a fun trip down memory lane. Are you still in touch with Derrick Jensen? I know he was canceled (https://derrickjensen.org/letter-to-a-publisher/) for the strong stance he took on trans issues. I haven’t had a chance to follow his work for the past few years and have been wondering if he was awake to the COVID lies. (You should encourage him to join Substack if you are still in touch.)

Also wanted to make sure you saw my latest post, where you make an appearance:

• “My Two-Year Stackiversary: Lattice of Coincidence + The Courage to Face the Truth” (https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/my-two-year-stackiversary-lattice)

I think we’ve followed a similar political trajectory and look forward to discussing when our schedules permit :-)

Expand full comment

MAA! I'm only just now seeing your post so thank you for bringing it to my attention and for including me. Much appreciated.

I'm not really in touch with Derrick (nothing acrimonious) so I don't know where he landed, re: Covid, etc.

And yes, I will email you this week to do some mutual updating. 🙂

The truth is so radikal now that even the poseurs want none of it.

If you didn’t have an internal true north, I doubt I would’ve found your work. I’m selfishly grateful to have come across your work, but I hope you always remain grateful for the existence of that internal compass (and from the things you have posted about your parents and family, maybe intrinsic compass?) even if it doesn’t always produce the same returns you know you could get by ‘recalibrating’ a smidge here and there.

Tess! ❤ There is so much to appreciate about this comment...thank you! I'm also grateful we've crossed paths and, as you surmise, I'm super grateful for the wondrous blessings I have experienced and still experience. Thank you, again.
