Who funds it?
And some advice for staying upbeat
My son had home from the Capitol and said the vibe was actually good at the No King protests. He said there was also a Palestinian protest going on. I asked him, “Who’s funding it?” I asked ChatGPT and got the response pasted below. I don’t journal with ChatGPT because for me my private thoughts are not meant to be shared with technocrats, but I do engage from time to time with ChatGPT. I found this information useful as far as keeping a healthy perspective when I see that essentially most conflicts are manufactured ones with neither side really representing the heart beloved humanity or our mother earth.
Lasting change will come when grassroots things are really grassroots, not just in appearance, but in actuality. Lasting change will start in ways that seem so small they are like the dandelion that breaks through concrete.
The Palestinian and the Israeli who open up a coffee shop and use the funds to support joint projects where Jewish families can adopt Palestinian refugees and begin businesses - together. The friends from different perspectives who pause long enough to listen to one another’s views. The Health Insurance Company that covers prescriptions for local, organic medicinal food as well as well as inhalers, using AI to ensure unbiased head to head comparison of whole/natural/functional medicinal approaches compared to drugs/surgeries. The people from all walks of life who stop dehumanizing one another and start looking those “others” in the eye and seeing their divinity. When I wrote under a pseudo name I discovered quite a number of what I believe were conflicts of interest regarding a very powerful individual. That individual is now sitting on a certain committee. I’m glad they fired the old ones but the new ones can’t be trusted either. What we need is to stop placing our health in the hands of committees that live far from our lives and start using our intuitions and our communal, ancestral and common wisdom, in real relationship with scientists and doctors to openly discuss strengths and weaknesses of different paradigms or options.
In case you didn’t see the cardinal video - it’s amusing. At least it was to me!
A few suggestions for staying calm and vital in this time of change:
Joy heals and empowers. Find your little joys and imagine if today were your last day, how much freedom would you let yourself have to wildly, innocently express your joy of life? For me, I dance differently when I let my higher self move me, and when I dance with that perspective.
Play nurtures joy. Create time for play, or just integrate it into the stuff you do. Play, even if it’s for a moment. I threw a garlic clove and it landed in a new pitcher I got from Ten Thousand Villages - Fairtrade. I delighted in “making a basket.”
Remember that it’s just a game. This doesn’t mean act like a psychopath -we have enough of these in this game. It does mean you can appreciate the drama without believing it to be overly real. You can get into your character and your situation while having lightness. How do you want to play it? Are you ready for a new role? What part of the play is this? Is it that part? Or do you want to practice lines for the next section?? Offer yourself infinite love. Offer that same infinite love to others. Don’t belittle their suffering if you are able t see that life is a game. Instead see how you can create a world with less suffering and more joy.
Rockefellers have supported dictators communist and Nazi alike. Soros I don’t know that much about but he definitely seems to like to meddle in US affairs and although some rail against him, I haven’t seen anyone actually able to stop him in any meaningful way. Criticism is shutdown by calling you a conspiracy theorist if you level it. The first time I got accused of having an idea well supported by evidence I was looking into the Clinton Foundation. I happened to link to an article that included Soros but I didn’t know it because I hadn’t read that part. It was long and I was only interested in the part related to the Clintons, who as far as I know, are not Jewish. But I got called anti-semitic for the first time in my life. I was like, “Whoa there, I’m half Jewish. I didn’t even read the thing about Soros. I just wanted to criticize the Clintons.”
