I really enjoyed your Uncle's delve into how he fought intelligence testing and his description of it...did you know Galton and Jung are connected in their word-association work? The whole field of psychology and psychiatry is steeped in eugenics. AA was founded by Rockefeller's. The attempt to track what is considered "feeble minded" has not, I believe ceased in any way. Education and the teachers unions are also Rockefeller linked, Trilateral etc

I want to know more about Ben Lindsay! We need more hero stories. My son was saying he feels allergic to life, and I sensed what he meant is that all these infiltrations have intruded on LIFE in every arena and he is so sensitive, it is *like* being allergic to everything but so little is untouched by corruption... I invited him to sit with a milkweed...to truly feel into its presence and ask himself if he was allergic to it. He began to tear up and shook his head "no." I pray soon the world will be free of this intrusive energy so we can all work together in harmony, in peace and in love to find win/win solutions that honor all LIFE - and a healthy immune system that declines the virus of control-dynamics that pervert the goodness of life or exploit it in any way! Om Mani Padme Hum! :)

Milkweed is a deep source of comfort for me both because of its beauty and smell and because of its association with Monarch butterflies whose grace and colors I love.

A long time ago in a land close to where Peter Derrico lives, I had a best friend named Mary. There is a sad story that goes with how the friendship ended...bullying of me by other children; silence from Mary as she left our friendship to join their group, completely ignoring me...I was heartbroken and left the school part way through the year - that began my homeschooling and part-time homeschoollng, part time high school phase. Later she found a blog I used to write, 17 years after I last saw her - this was when we lived in New Jersey, called Quirky Grace. She was looking up "spirituality" and saw a picture of me and my son (as a baby.) She said I looked to same! She found me, apologized - said how she had gotten caught up on the wave of power that accompanied energy that the kids who were being mean were engulfed by - she said only weeks after I left the school, the same kids turned on her - and did the same to her. She felt it was her karma and it took her many years to feel comfortable to have friends again. I forgave her and we got to gather a few times when I visited Mass. Just before the pandemic when I got off fb due to again, to people I thought were my friends becoming very unkind due to their programming, as well as feeling I didn't want my energy in a place that censors or shadow bans topics I find important to my heart - whether Standing Rock or Palestinian rights or medical science gone totally wrong and awry and policies that make no sense related to that...but before I left, Mary sent me seeds from her garden, so that we would always be connected through seeds! All the posts, poems and stories related to milkweed that I I am able to give, I am able to give because of Mary and the story of her courage to be so self-honest and to reach out and apologize and to create a garden or shared connection. That milkweed...it is so spiritual, Steven. It feels like angel-sentries of pure love and light. The flowers remind me of lilacs late in the blooming season. I love that milkweed with all my heart.

Yes! We are all connected by so many seeds—they are all part of our common future. When I was a child I used to catch butterflies—a practice that I have since apologized to them for—and love that many people are now planting milkweed. It’s wonderful that you and Mary have that particular connection and wonderful that we all are connected!

Yes it is, wonderful, isn't it? I am very sure the butterflies forgive you! We saw a beautiful tiny blue one on our walk when we met the botany grad student earlier this morning! It was iridescent silver-moon-blue...like periwinkle with a shining moon mixed in. I am very glad we are all connected!

"Victim and hero are two perspectives on the same occurrences.

Sometimes they are separated by time

Sometimes surrender is more heroic than fight

Because a caterpillar has to become goo before it can take flight

There is milkweed in my garden you cannot see

This the only season in which you may not see it in my yard

Because the seeds have gone invisible

On their way to shooting up

This is actually their greatest hour

The miracle I don’t understand

Can’t see

Wait a few weeks

Those brave little sneaks!

That dared to land from their heavenly floatation

And give in to the gravity

Of soil’s invitation

To rise from the ground up

In Joyous Jubilition

Just by being to feed the caterpillars

When they are so tiny you wouldn’t even know someday they’d have wings

And that milkweed will give itself

To help them become that thing

It will stand as sentries

Gently waving

Strong

And Seen

Giving and serving

Just being a

Hero

Milkweed

King

Upon which

Might land

A Butterfly wing

That etherial-yet earthly color of wonder

From the goo

And the courage to go within

To face the battles

Only the Future Self

The Imaginal Self

Can Win

Pollinator

Just by tasting what it finds sweet

It serves all the food chain

Without its surrender

It would never have become

This able to bless all life

Just by coming alive

To its own Sheer Bliss

Each flower

Each Kiss

Lover of All Life

THIS"

Is the Sophia code the divine feline/feminine spiritual energy of Mother Nature?

Expand full comment

Yes AND...it is a feminine Christ consciousness collected work of channeled writings. As you know I'm very picky about whose stuff I trust like that - her codex I deeply love.

Expand full comment

Kaia Ra (author of ^) survived atrocities as someone was born into and escaped elite child rape/psychic pillaging. She has a message about Lahaina you would love - I think it's on her blog or maybe in the "path of the initiate" on her app, The Sophia Code available in iTunes.

Thanks Alicia. I welcome all your insights regarding the feminine Christ consciousness.
