Excellent 👌! The other thing the enemy loves is apathy. It's why the Bread and Circuses strategy is so successful. The modern addiction to dopamine distracts, dumbs, and diseases us.
"So, where does that leave the rest of us, who neither want to surrender to mindless despair, nor mindlessly (blindly) following pre-packaged heroes?"
That is the nut of it.
I would imagine it leaves us in a process of discovery. A sometimes uncomfortable flow of dropping what we relied on, assumed and believed, as we plunge ourselves into the unknown, including unknown iterations of our very selves.
It's a revelation when the world has trained you to obey and comply. It's a revelation to remember and claim one's innate. freedom. What an amazing time.
I would even suggest, the shit-show collapse happening is all designed to bring us to that realization: Oh right, I am here and not as an automaton. I am able to think and decide for myself. I actually matter. (Oh, shit!)
So, right, Kathleen. There are a few of us, yourself included, that have identified the "war" (if you want to use that terminology) is within: that is discovering and peeling back the layers of deception that we've been clinging to IS the project. An unpopular take, I think. I already see some unsubscribes. No one wants to hear a message of self-examination. They want someone to blame, and a hero to do the heavy lifting.
It’s always so refreshing to read your essays! ❣️Making the decision to embrace your power in shaping reality through what we give our attention to is so simple and elegant many people miss it. If we can all be focused on engaging in local positive community engagement, from growing food, playing music, making art, supporting small businesses and many other things we can create a better world. It’s up to each individual to make the choice to embrace the good and ignore the bad.
Thanks for the cross-post and your generous support Sharine! I can always count on you to pick up what I'm laying down.😊
So glad to know there are a few thinking folks out there who get it: our energy and support is what the evil systems need, and starving them of it is the best thing we can do.
