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).
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 .

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:
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.
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.
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,
