James Corbett is great. I should invite him on RTE if for no other reason to ask him about his evolution in making documentaries. I have so much built up research that it's hard to keep up with publishing it. And then sometimes I wonder how I can make it more impactful, and encourage others to check it and add to it. But I doubt I'll be a "media man" for long. It was never my intention. My research drove me in. Too few people were talking. Then I started podcasting simply because the DMED story was being buried, and seemed like a national security issue of critical concern (it is).
Mathew! You should definitely invite him on and let me be a polite and non-invasive co-guest (or co-host). I have tab-marked your Part 3 of the Plandemonium Timeline: Nazi Relationships. I have at least two more episodes planned on Corbett because he--with Matt Ehret and you--are some of the few who are looking at this. But Ehret dismisses him as a foolish localist who's saying nothing new. It's not that everyone needs to agree but I think it would be useful to clarify where the dividing lines are so people can decide where they fall for themselves.
And yes, I was just listening to his 100 questions episode and I love his advice to someone getting started--don't allow perfectionism to be an excuse to procrastinate. Let your passion to make sense of things drive you to do SOMETHING and it will get better. He says to check out his first documentary if you need any proof ;-) That was very encouraging.
It's so great having you watching my videos, Mathew!
Thanks for this, noosfera! It's especially good because my next episode I was planning to address the differences between Ehret and Crawford, so I'm glad to have more sources for that. I'll read your comment on Jo's Substack carefully (Georgie & Donny are her cats). This is just a quick response but I'll parse your comment more carefully later today.
Hi, noosfera. Thanks for linking the episode where Matt Ehret responds to James Corbett. That will be very useful. For my research, my focus is understanding the things that make a difference for my own actions. So the questions that matter to me are:
1) Should I, as a US citizen, be supporting the war against Russia in Ukraine? I think we agree that the answer to that is no.
2) Should I, as a US citizen, be supporting dollar hegemony and sanctions against countries that aren't part of the IMF? Again, I suspect that's no.
3) What should I support, as a US citizen, in order to stop funding these things against my will? For me, that answer is decentralization and, even, digital currencies at a local level backed by local housing.
I don't have a right to have an opinion on what Russia or Putin should do, any more than I have a right to an opinion on what you should do. My system is how to enact small-scale sovereignty, and I represent that as consistently as I can when applied to different problems. It's where Matt and I disagree and, I think, where James and I agree. My goal is just to illustrate the differences and where I fall between them.
It is a great video for me. I will watch it another time or more to get more details.
Right now I'm torn because I see so many people demoralized. I'm slowly overcoming my own demoralization too.
Talking as a commenter and what I see in other commenters that have no substack or a very small reader base and don't publish regularly. They are so stubborn about everything at this moment that it seems planned. Like they are under a spell.
Meredith Miller warned us in February. I think this is it.
I take advice about how to deal with people from every experienced and rational person I find, one of them Mathew, also Jon Rappoport and now Tereza Coraggio.
For example, I am of the opinion that there is no graphene. I start with an obvious I could be wrong. Then comes the Socratic questioning. Some people are offended by this debate on graphene. Those who are open minded ask questions, I give them my objections, and ask them questions. I think this is a complicated issue because many people need an object to blame everything on. The deaths and the disability caused to people by the injectable products are obvious, but the cause is not obvious at all. There may even not be mRNA in the vials. We just don't know enough, everything is mysterious.
This is because we are in a war, of the so called unlimited warfare variety. To survive, we have to learn to think better and ask questions, among other things that depend on thinking right. That's my opinion now.
The part on moral superiority is very important. Thank you scpecially for that specially.
Before going off on Uri Geller being part of a conspiracy, read “ Subliminal Seduction” by Wilson Bryan Key. 1973.
The author details manipulation and sexploitation proffered by the media and advertising cabal. It’s fascinating, but not limited to “ weird people”. Hidden imagery, positioning… the examples are mind blowing. Even Camel cigarette ads were pornographic. When parts of the overall image were removed, the camel became a giant penis and testicles with a woman bending over being penetrated.The book was included in the public school Consumer Education curriculum when there was still integrity in the system. I read it as a high school senior in 1977 .
Oh that's fascinating Gail! Maybe back then it was more obvious and that's why it shocked me to be so blatant. But I got something with a perfume ad in the mail for 'Randy' I think it is, with a lingeried woman with a black net mask with bunny ears attached. It came from Ulta for my daughter, and everyone else's daughters. It shocked me too that the sexploitation is so obvious and ubiquitous. I'm forgetting the name of the woman who exposed lots of this a decade or so ago. Oh for classes like Consumer Ed again!
I love this essay, Tereza. It is clear and to the point. And for some reason this brings to my memory a short William Blake quotation I had kept up on the wall of my office for many years as I moved myself away from the pernicious need to be right, knowing now that 'rightness' is the foundation of *perfectionism*. Learning is absolutely being wrong. And it suggests even the problem of waking up people from their self-righteousness! Too funny. Anyway, here is a nice quotation you may like:
You're welcome. (Blake is a great read, if you haven't. His poetry 'Songs of Experience' and 'Songs of Innocence' are powerful comments on delusion and ideology as applicable today as when he wrote them in the 18th century.)
A lot of energy is needed to change ourselves in a culture that resists change. One of the reasons is that structures of this culture, the network of organizations and institutions of society, are set up to make it difficult. The alternative or the antidote is to create networks of relationships out which new organizations and institutions form to provide an alternative to what is clearly no longer working. I write about this reconstitution of society here- https://edbrenegar.substack.com/p/the-network-of-relationship-series.
Thanks for reading and for posting your compilation of posts, Ed. In my book I write that "It takes a network to undermine an empire." I think what you're pointing to is very important.
You seem to have 'triggered' me today. I have so much I want to say. Thank you for introducing me to the joy of bad coffee writer. I wanted to comment on her stack and I am blocked.
So, I will add that comment here. Here ode to the joys of bad coffee was a delightful read and reminded me of a fascinating essay by Herman Hesse "On Bad Poetry", which is likewise a kind of ode to why 'bad' is 'good' and the importance of it in life. For some reason, this has for me a resonance with what you are expressing here.
I struggled to find a good link to that essay. I found a version that you can get via a scribd download.
(Of course, where you will find time to read this? [Headshake.] I have found since giving up the belief of the truth of pretty much everything, now my curiosity has opened to the point that there is *everything* to see with new eyes. And to follow 'my' intuition, whatever that is, into 'my' path, whatever *that* is. Life does have a wicked sense of humour!)
You are not alone with this idea of a community of possibilities from the common life of mind.
And your comment about the mind as the Universe is a synchronicity with the beginning of my day, when I dipped into the Dhammapada for the first time after a synchronistic double reference to it.
" Mind is the chief forerunner of all evil states.
Experiences are led by and produced chiefly by the mind.
If one speaks or acts with a corrupted impure mind,
Suffering will follows just like the wheel of an ox-cart when the ox pulls.
Mind is the chief forerunner of all good states.
Experiences are led by and produced by the mind.
If one speaks or acts with a pure mind,
Happiness will follow along just like one's shadow that never departs. "
You are not alone with realising that the core beliefs we have, which are generally the ones we don't see and project onto others as either the heroic truthers or the evil doers, are what keep us separate and come from an egoistic 'need' to exist within a story of "I", "Me" and "Mine." It is great to see you sharing your path to this same awareness. I've come to it via Patañjala Yoga Sutras and the words of Gautama Buddha, as opposed to the rigidity of much of *Buddhist* rules.
The world "I" live in is the world of my ideas of truth as shared collectively. As I change my beliefs, which basically means stopping to believe *anything* and to rest in the experience of the moment, then this world changes.
I am so blessed to have been able to drop out of self-righteous all knowing bullshit into discovering you and the many people like you that exist. Corbett is so refreshing for example. And Sage Hana and Conspiracy Sarah are inspiring, too. So many.
We are living the Bhagavad Gita, and as Arjunas, are we open to the lessons Krishna teaches? He didn't make Arjuna a better *warrior*. He expanded his consciousness away from the limits of belief. Gautama is, when you move away from Buddhism, much the same: experience what is, and let go of beliefs because they are stories that Mara uses to keep us deluded.
I read this article yesterday and meant to comment after I watched the videos and of course didn’t get around to watching until today. I feel like, for a few years, you’ve been saying lots of the discoveries I’ve made only recently and it’s going to take me awhile to catch up on your content. I like that you sometimes link to a throwback video. It helps.
On being wrong: the first time I had to question my beliefs, it felt like death. Maybe it’s meant to. Like part of your ego dies so it’s painful. But now, I’m a little addicted to the notion of having my mind changed. Makes me feel alive. Did you go through anything like that? Of course, my children are loving the new me since I’m not so determined to get my way and perhaps I’ve been meant to go through this transformation.
Thanks, Tereza. And Happy Mother’s Day to you, dear.
Haha, that's so funny. My daughters also love that I'm so much more ready to admit that I'm wrong. They had to wait a lot longer for that revelation than your boys did. But you're so right about the addiction. I rarely bother anymore with anything that doesn't have the power to change my mind.
Although I did come *this* close to getting uninvited from helping plan my daughter's wedding over a matter of some ugly steak knives. Fortunately I came to my senses. (and fortunately the caterer said she didn't need them ... they were really ugly.) So maybe I still have some dig-the-heels-in stubborn streak.
Don't worry about catching up. If it's important for you, it'll find you. That's how karma works (according to Rudolf Steiner). Happy Mother's Day!
Hi Tereza, I love the Ego=soul, so spot on in my experience. But I would like for you to elaborate or clarify these two sentences when you get a chance. "It’s our human nature, and when we’re not living up to our nature, it’s because of our circumstances." Then in the next paragraph you state, "If there is design, then I’ve been born into the situation I have the greatest capacity to make sense of, to bring something better out of." I feel these sentences are contradicting one another. So that on one hand our circumstances might not allow us to live up to our good nature and then you state that if there is design we have been born into a situation where we have the greatest capacity to make something better out of it. I think everyone should try to nourish their soul with beauty, goodness and truth no matter what the situation. Certainly the task is harder in certain situations. I like that saying its the little things that matter. Thks,
Oh thanks for asking that Helene, it's a good question. So let's hypothesize that there is a design in what 'soul' gets put into a particular life circumstance. Obviously some are easier lives and some are much, much harder. The Hindus would say that it's karma from behavior in a previous life. If there is no design, it's just luck. Some of us won the reincarnation lottery in throwing the dart onto the globe.
My theory is something completely different. A particular soul gets born into the circumstance they have the greatest capacity to bring meaning out of. Until we change the system, someone needs to play the part of the homeless drug addict or the psychopathic WEFfer. In reality, the person playing those roles is all me, all you. But the aspect of us, the particular predisposition born into that role, is the one that's needed to set things in motion.
Every person, every role, is exactly the right one to get us to the end point as quickly as possible. That person will make exactly the right decisions needed to impact every other decision that needs to be made. History is being written backwards, in reality the problem has already been solved. There's no 'good' or 'bad', there's only what expedites the resolution.
On another note, I had too much to say about Matt Ehret on James Corbett so I'm saving it for another episode. I did a YT for Mother's Day on Five Feminine Economies, so I'll put that on Substack tomorrow and do the Matt one next. Thanks for pointing me to it!
Thank you for the elaboration. So that is where the reincarnation part fits in. I like that, but yikes on the other part! So are you saying a more mature soul comes back in a more difficult circumstance for the good of the whole? Interesting thoughts, but if we used to gift to each other and now we sell aren't we moving in the wrong direction for the history backwards? I really enjoyed the older post about enjoying missing out. I can relate, Covid gave us an opportunity to slow down and we liked it.
I woke up with more thoughts on this and wrote them down for a future episode: My dogma, that I'm no better than anyone else, isn't humbling myself, it's elevating other people by realizing I wouldn't do as well if born into their circumstances.
Reincarnation is constant and inclusive, we're reincarnated as everyone all the time. We're both the dreamer and the figures in the dream (I was realizing this morning that the tree I was looking at is as much myself as my daughter or my face in the mirror).
So it's more like one brain cell being in charge of transmitting a particular message. The difficult circumstances are just a different brain cell but you're the Mind.
Thanks on From FOMO to JOMO, that was one of my favorites!
And there's no question that the economic system is moving in a direction of greater and greater concentration of power, and perhaps is reaching its pinnacle. I think that needs to happen before it collapses so we should be ready with the plan we want to replace it.
So I am practically a blank slate when it comes to reincarnation. My only thought was it was a refining process. I am convinced of everything being connected just from my personal experience. I dream a lot and remember dreams. I think that's where dejavu comes into play. Also I have seen and heard spirits/ghosts or whatever you might call them a few times. I know your busy but would someday love to hear your thoughts on such subjects. Thanks for always taking time.
Reincarnation makes no logical sense to me. As it's popularly conceived, it's the ego as the soul swapping bodies but maintaining its individuality in history and its moral superiority, which I think is the purpose of the theory. It belies the simple logic that every baby is born equally innocent. Oh no! it says, some are lugging around the baggage of their terrible deeds from a previous life. The rest of us were all Cleopatra. That's what my $20 fortune-teller told me so of course it's true ;-)
According to the Course, everything we're seeing is a ghost, a projection onto our closed eyelids. And none of it has any ability to hurt you. At least that's the theory. So I don't dismiss spirits or deja vu as any more or less real than my coffee cup.

As it's popularly conceived, it's the ego as the soul swapping bodies but maintaining its individuality in history and its moral superiority, which I think is the purpose of the theory. It belies the simple logic that every baby is born equally innocent. Oh no! it says, some are lugging around the baggage of their terrible deeds from a previous life. The rest of us were all Cleopatra. That's what my $20 fortune-teller told me so of course it's true ;-)
According to the Course, everything we're seeing is a ghost, a projection onto our closed eyelids. And none of it has any ability to hurt you. At least that's the theory. So I don't dismiss spirits or deja vu as any more or less real than my coffee cup.
Your hysterical.
