Fear is infamous for masking the truth, because we are too afraid of the fear to face what is. We don't want to know ... yet, simultaneously, we can never not-know. Such is the nature of the double-binds that keep us captive...

feel powerful in doing something… even if it is just depleting their own Life Force.For others, fear activates the flight response and they feel compelled to run away. To just keep running. The problem is … the fear comes with them. For others still, fear paralyzes them on the spot. They can’t move. They can’t function. They can’t breathe. They hold their breath and hope for the best. 

So if you’re awake to what’s happening and you seek to create a meaningful life anyway, you are in the right place. If, however, you’d rather put your head in the sand about what’s happening and go on about your day, consider this is your out.

I can never be more intimate with another than I have given myself permission to be with myself. In that, I must be in willing to be with my own disagreements inside myself to the point where I integrate the double binds and anchors and lies. I must choose to remain comfortable in my discomfort of not-knowing and uncertainty yet give myself permission to BE in all that IS. I must create enough space inside myself to hold all the paradoxical truths as equally real in order to integrate them. I must be willing to take sacred responsibility, inside myself, about my contribution to the external reality I am living.

Fear has always been a powerful control mechanism. Fear is all story based. It is kept alive by stories of the past, or the future. Fear has always been fueled by external referencing and habituated ways of thinking, both of which are detrimental to our ability (and willingness) to exercise free will.

How comfortable are you with any and all of what you notice going on being normalised as a way of life moving forward? Because we don't tend to "go back" to pre-emergency measures...So, what's our new normal look like?

Until now, I have tolerated the blatant contradictions and have always believed that there is a lesser evil. I no longer believe that. Because no matter the perceived lesser evil, today, they are all inciting division and violence in ways that feel invasive to my core. So, I am done pretending band-aid solutions to our predicaments are enough; casting a vote for a broken system is not empowering and it is not enough.

The powerful hold of ideology is that the illusion seems real, until the ugly truth is blatantly revealed. Gullibility is prayed upon. The tactics I'm witnessing unfolding before my very eyes today are age old mind control and manipulation tactics that I've witnessed before...
