After several days feeling like I was wasting my time and why was I even bothering, your article today has reminded me why I absolutely do have to care and take action. The universe requires it.
PURE GOLD, I'm glad I clicked through. Thank you! I've been wrestling with this, as I walk among sheep every day, and I try to find the light, the good, and bring peace & upliftment, even to those who may be totally lost. You expressed a number of beauties here. "I am not that which I can observe." Nada nada nada. Until you find the core of what is.
And then sitting with it. Brilliant. I give a fuck because they don't.
Stellar stack...just brilliant...I feel the heal...thank you so much!
Just what I needed to hear and reminder myself that I must give myself permission to be joyful and creative again - and balance my grief/rage (rinse and repeat cycle) and at the very least, least, add a few settings and occasionally rise above the hellscape.
So many healing principles that so many of us have embraced for years, that needed to be reawakened, having been dormant and forgotten in the face of this hideous mass extinction event. We need that center and those reminders to navigate such insanity and evil, more than ever now...
I know this brilliant offering will resonate with so many. Sharing with my amazing cadre. Thanks for this beautiful gift.
From the start, when I discovered your writing here, I was drawn to "Be your own doctor" as common sense. That you were already 'there' was evident. And now your evolution to Being Nobody, Going Nowhere holds a deeper and wider offering to the fertile ground of your readership. I am one such gardener and have always felt life is about spreading seeds. Many times those seeds are not even recognized for the life giving potential they hold. Sometimes those seeds are barren or under developed. Sometimes they fall between the cracks and grow despite the lack of notice. But in the daily cultivated garden, they have already been taken in lovingly and cared for with devotion to the glory they flower into. AMEN
As seed keepers, gatherers, spreaders our task is imbued with sacred wisdom at the heart of creation. Could there be a more humble nobility than to tend the garden of life and love?
Cathartic. Grateful. Rather go out singing than crying, that's for sure. What love can I still give away while here and who can I be as a warrior FOR (love) rather than against all the evil forces...is a shift from getting to giving where true beauty resides and you are so right: they can't take THAT away from us. SO healing-thank you.
Yesterday, we traveled over three mountain ranges, on the east coast of US, the Allegheny, BlueRidge and Piedmont, over large four lane highways, thru small towns, country roads, all to celebrate our Irish family heritage reunion. Our oldest attendee is 92 years and the youngest one year. We danced, sang, told stories handed down over the years. Yes I give a Fuck , about this generation as well as those who fought for the freedom we see slipping away little by little. Ding ding and Peace out!
I went to Germany in June for a similar family reunion - oldest 89, youngest 1 and 23 in the middle. We rented an old Italian homestead in the woods above Lake Como in Northern Italy for four days. Covid restriction had created two bitter and self-rightous fractions in the family in 2021, But both parties attended. It wasn’t talked about and the fractions still kept distance to each other but, nevertheless, the healing happened simply through the multitudes of human contacts, dinners, breakfasts, walks in the woods, swimming in the pond, cases of wine, laughter and the happiness good, close company can provide.
I just realized that we are fools waiting for “the authorities” to heal this. The powers that rule us at the moment are not only incapable of it, they will once again look for “windows of opportunities” to weaponize the desire for healing or turn it into a commodity to make money with. They just didn’t come up with a good way to exploit love and compassion - it is really hard to fake. Look at Kamala Harris - it is painful to watch that empty greedy power hungry shell pretend she cares and feels.
Mate - something about your email formatting - always requires scrolling left and right.
When I come to the page, it's beautifully centred. A little frustrating, because I like to read from email if I can (my poor browser!).
I know that some Substack Authors seem to be able to format their emails so that they don't have this huge scrolling left and right (it may just be setting margins or something)
Just letting you know - yours isn't the only one - but I at least "know" you and feel comfortable mentioning it.
Thank you for making me aware off this. I have the same problem reading email format with other writers and know how annoying this is. That's why I read only online now but not an option for you. I try to find out but I am getting more and more useless despite having programmed computers a few decades ago. But I will.try.
Yeah, I have a degree which states that I know lots of stuff about bits and bytes, logic and bugs - but that was in the days of BASIC and COBOL and DBASE...... (showing my age here)
This new stuff is holographic, and gets harder and harder. Simple things - like - logging into something with all this verification crap (so they know where you are blah blah) - just doesn't work. This week, hubby and I have failed to login to at least 3 major accounts, due to this "verification" bs. (they said they sent it!) (they said they sent it again!).
Makes me wonder if I'd even be able to login to my own website (which I haven't done in several months!) :D
I did a search on formatting for emails on Substack, but unfortunately nothing useful came up. I emailed my latest post to myself and it comes up nicely formatted in my email app (the standard email app provided by windows - outlook?) I wonder if you can do something in your email app or try a different one. Sorry to be of minimal help here.
Thank you for trying. I'm on Outlook, too, but I'm on older version because I refuse to compute in the cloud (newer versions insist on filing your life in the cloud).

I am not sure if this will help you, but the Australian government covid 'enquiries' and media 'reports' are key part of cognitive warfare during democide. To those who know what is happening, it is a humilation ritual and designed to wear down and demoralise - that is why they are obviously flimsy and absurd. To those in the narrative, they are designed to soothe and provide 'evidence' that they 'did the right thing' which they can then throw in the faces of the 'bad covid deniers.'
Of further interest is that they are also designed to 'cool the marks' in the same way. To those 'seeking justice,' they provide hope that 'just another enquiry will vindicate them, and 'mass arrests will occur.' In this way, they string people along in order to prevent revolutionary acts. Essentially, waiting around for 'vindication' is the release valve. The government has run out the clock and it is nearly 2025.
When the ABS deleted the non-covid excess mortality in 2022 from the historical ledger and changed around the baselines multiple times (both historically unprecedented acts) I knew that we were watching a democidal regime solidify history. A democidial regime will never investigate itself and find wrongdoing.
My strategy is to completely ignore official 'covid enquiries' and see them for what they are: cognitive warfare. It no longer interests me or elicits any emotional response from me. My revolutionary act is ignoring the government completely. They and their actions no longer interest me. They can all go pound sand.
I am focussing on caring for the survivors who are interested in their own survival. I care very deeply about that. I do not care about what the government does.
I don’t know if you are the same nobody that I used to read on some platform or other and enjoy the humor of— he was Australian, had a sick father he was taking care of, had aspired to be or maybe was a film director. Was it you or are you a different nobody? Anyway, this was a great communication and helped me calm down.

Thank you for this beautiful piece🌹. As bizarre as it sounds, my acupuncturist taught me to inhale suffering and exhale healing. My niece lost her 25yr old fiancée to glioblastoma (vaxed and boosted 🤬) and I was struggling to cope with her loss and what her future will be without her soulmate. I could not let go of the suffering I imagined for her. By breathing out healing, I transform the suffering I have stuck in my heart. I will never stop giving a f@ck for exactly the reasons you wrote. Not many in my life seem to and I won't be part of it! Part of being human is feeling - it sucks a lot but its what connects us.
When you read something and just know this is it. That is why words, communicating, sharing matters They can bring to light what is hidden from the observer himself. Thank you.
It's not about them. It's about how you feel when caring and it's about how you feel when you don't care. While there is no choice the difference can be noticed and that noticing will affect your future actions automatically. They will move towards integration, healing and wholeness. Forget the others.

Ding ding get back to it :-)

We can start the healing process amongst us

Happy to hear it helped. No, I am a different nobody but we are all the same :-)
Mine actually goes back to the first spiritual book I ever read “Being nobody, Going nowhere by Aya Khema, a Budfhist nun.

Followed Diva Drops link to this stack. Wow! Thank you for the perspective 🙏🏼💖
likewise
I can't afford to care about someone that doesn't care about themselves.
It's not about them. It's about how you feel when caring and it's about how you feel when you don't care. While there is no choice the difference can be noticed and that noticing will affect your future actions automatically. They will move towards integration, healing and wholeness. Forget the others.
Much appreciated:) and thank you Diva
Thank you Markus. This came at the right time.
Thank you. Wonderful, again.
