Dearest Courageous Soul,
There has been a seismic shift in my universe, which I am still exploring and digesting. Writing this is helping me clarify what this shift means for how I live now. I welcome your thoughts and guidance, as we are all navigating the shifting sands of our fast changing and challenging times.
The last few years , I have delved deep into the belly of the beast of Empire. Geo politics, The Great Reset, Medical crimes that poisoned & imprisoned us, financial manipulations, AI and the rise of tyranny. I found it all fascinating, deeply engaging and necessary for me to understand, believing it even vital for my survival.
Being fully conscious to hold the world as it truly is and still love it.
Reading and listening to experts giving their views , predictions and solutions was part of my daily life. Being well informed was part of my identity , a high value, backed by the belief that it is a duty and moral responsibility to be a witness .
What changed all that ?
It started with a decision a few days ago, after reading an article about the geo politics in the Middle East. It was about Iran and the proposal that Iran is now colluding with Israel . So much so they gave the co ordinates of the Hizbollah leadership in Lebanon to the Israeli’s . Who then injured and killed many , including their families and the Doctors who also used the paging system.
This information devastated me into the realisation that I had been under the illusion that Iran was in the “Axis of Resistance”. I don’t know if Iran’s alliance with what I know is an evil and genocidal regime, is true or not. But this is where it took me….
Eleven Transformational Realisations
I don’t know what is really going on, even from “alternative” media,
The only real resistance is not “governments or countries “, it is courageous people like the Palestinians, The Houthis’s, The students, the activists and those living in peace.
There is little I can do to stop the violence and oppression.
Believing that its my duty to witness and stay informed is like being under a spell,
That all the information I consume daily, doesn’t just influence my thinking , it infiltrates my form, my energy and my soul. It literally forms me.
I am keeping “informed”, now sounds like being caged and controlled,
That I can liberate myself by being present to my life and my reality,
I choose to no longer give my attention , energy, or time to the politics and machinations of dying empires and their oppressive systems.
I no longer think others should be aware of the harsh realities of the world.
I no longer give my power away, it is mine and I am powerful,
I no longer want to hold, change or understand external events,
What Comes Next,
I really don’t know yet…but I know it will involve more silence, more yoga, more kindness, more deep breathing, more time outside….
I believe the future can still be beautiful and I will do everything in my power to enable that for myself and others.
Caroline Myss uses the metaphor of an apartment block to ask at what level are you viewing the world ?
I think I have been viewing the world from the third floor. I have now entered the elevator to elevate to a higher level for my self preservation and soul’s journey. Thank you for reading and being part of this journey, there is so much to learn as we fathom out how to live now.
I leave you with the wise words of Marcus Aurelius, writing as as the Roman Empire was collapsing…
“People seek retreats in the country or by the sea. Retreat into yourself. Nowhere can give you greater peace of freedom than within your own soul”.
With love ,
Susan X
yes yes yes I am with you- i have been weaning myself and unsubscribing from following the machinations of the 'awful' - I know it same same except more horrid than i could ever imagine . I have been a bit obsessive the past 4 -5 years but enough now - it is not what I choose - I am here not for that but for something beautiful kind creative and respectful - I am here for platypus echidna tree earth and wonder - I feel like that energy is harmful and taking me away from Presence and here we are Susan miles away from each other going about our worlds with grace and awareness and we are not Alone . thank you
I celebrate you freeing yourself from maya, Susan. Your post makes me want to squeal "Yes!"
A great leap up the fire escape of the apartment block! Whoop! 🤸💖🙌🏽
