I applaud the way you continue to process the mass formation psychosis, Jim, because I also am never going to recover from the shock and awe of what went down in March 2020. Today I saw dozens of people about town wearing face masks still. Simone Weil described France as a nation mostly populated by malleable beings without a compass. They were ripe to be picked, squashed, booted, beaten and conquered. I watched in disbelief as America bent over, kneeled down and submitted to "the science" and to TV and shunned all critical thinking. It was a willing mass suicide. How your dad devoted his life to the financial grindstone and died bereft and displaced, of his pursuit for more money, was a slow suicide. My family, friends and neighbors have shown they will abandon all quality of life in an instant when told to, then obediently be injected with poison and the Big Lie that led them there, and that's proven to be suicide also.
Your peace and sanity is within, that's where your home has always been. This changeful world is an unrelenting machine working on awareness and delivering the perfect medicine to guide you home. It's all perfect. If sometimes it seems everything is fucked up, understand that it is perfectly fucked up. There's some cosmic humor for you. Stay in the beautiful Hudson Valley and I'll stay out here in northern New Mexico and we'll continue observing endlessly because that's all we can do.
Mr. kullander. Reading your article reminded me of this quote. referring to a review of Arvo Part’s Tabula rasa. “what kind of music is this? whoever wrote it must have left himself behind at one point to dig the piano notes out of the earth and gather the artificial harmonics of the violins from heaven…..Wolfgang Sandler
You do so well digging deep into soul and spirit. Thank you for sharing this incredible woman. and your own history .
Hi Barbara: I’m a huge fan of Arvo Part’s music and I love this quote about it. Thank you for sharing it. And I’m delighted that you think my words somehow resonate with Part’s piano notes. I could not ask for a finer compliment.
Before the 2020 lockdown, I was going to a church (Episcopal) next door from time to time. But like all churches around here, it too capitulated to the government mandates and shut its doors. I’ve not been back since everything reopened and I won’t be going back. I’m going to start looking around to see if there is a church or denomination somewhere nearby that did not abide by the mandates. Maybe Eastern Orthodox? Or a traditional Latin mass church?
JK - I am still surprised - although I shouldn't be - at the seemingly coincidental appearance of timely and complementary articles on the same subject by different authors - almost as if someone is conducting an orchestra.

Not only that, his and yours reminded me of something I read years ago written by Gary North, and I connected some dots with it into an outline - In essence…it always was…and still is…a War on Christ! - https://crushlimbraw.blogspot.com/2021/03/in-essenceit-always-wasand-still-isa.html?m=0 - and while you're concentrating on the last few decades, it's part and parcel of a much longer conflict......and DaSynagogue of Satan is losing their grip!
Our enemies are not communism, Marxism, or any other ism - they're just DaPuppets we see - we are simply living in our historical time of a war which has been waged since the beginning.
The Need for Roots. In it, she concludes: “Uprootedness occurs whenever there is a military conquest and in this sense conquest is nearly always evil.” She writes:
“Conquests are not life, they are of death at the very moment they take place. It is the distillations from the living past which should be jealously preserved, everywhere, whether it be in Paris or Tahiti, for there are not too many such on the entire globe.
“It would be useless to turn one’s back on the past in order simply to concentrate on the future. It is a dangerous illusion to believe that such a thing is even possible…. The future brings us nothing, gives us nothing; it is we who in order to build it have to give it everything, our very life. But to be able to give, one has to possess; and we possess no other life, no other living sap, than the treasures stored up from the past and digested, assimilated and created afresh by us….
The past once destroyed never returns. The destruction of the past is perhaps the greatest of all crimes.”The Need for Roots. In it, she concludes: “Uprootedness occurs whenever there is a military conquest and in this sense conquest is nearly always evil.” She writes:

Although I am inclined to agree with her assertions, there does not seem to be anyplace in the United States that the "Military" of private interest cannot invade or usurp. To be a natural family violently usurped and plucked out of existence by those "Special Interest" who always insist that their present opinions trumps any past experiences of those who are being violated. The State of Utah and the State of Confusion have become congruent in double speak. Whole American families can be orphaned by bureaucratic combinations and show trial courts. What is the purpose of swearing an oath, if it was never intended to be honored by those "Public Serpents" who steal, kill and destroy with impunity?

I found this inspirational.... a list of suggestions of what to do and what not to do. Titled "The Only Winning Move Is Not To Play."

Love this. Pretty much sums up how to live (and stay alive) in the world today. Thank you for sending it along.
Not bragging but simply happy to say I'm acing about 4/5ths of that list.
