We are in a strange moment in time. Similar to that stage of awakening when one is still in a dream state and is starting to become aware that they’re asleep and not quite sure how to proceed, the collective consciousness I’ll call “mainstream” is now at a turning point. With the fear of Covid dwindling (for the most part) and some news stories exposing the risks and ineffectiveness of the Covid injectables breaking into mainstream sources (here, here and here), I can only imagine how some folks feel; individuals that went along with the program, who wore buttons and filters on social media saying how proud they were to be vaxxed, and who perhaps excluded, distanced themselves from, or even shamed or ghosted friends and family who were in the untouchable class of the unvaccinated. Many of them haven’t heard about these new developments, or the developments that have been cumulating all along. But perhaps some people hear these things and it hits a strange chord in their consciousness, makes them go “huh.” And maybe after hearing about these things several times, the dream (that we still have a free press, that governmental agencies related to public health truly serve us and are not corrupt, that they’ve been doing the right thing by going along with everything) will start to get a little too unreal, and we will experience a quickening of the great awakening that is already underway.
Maybe I’m engaging in wishful thinking, but I must hold onto hope that more people will see the harm that has been done by these shots and reckon with the implications. Bishop Desmond Tutu stated, “When a people decide they want to be free, nothing can stop them,” and I believe that’s true. Therefore, it is of primary importance at this moment in history that we unite as a people and decide that our freedom is important. When many of my left-leaning, liberal friends hear talk of freedom, they often say - “freedom from what?” There is a thick haze of denial coupled with fear that prevents many folks from confronting difficult truths and waking from the comforting dream that we still live in a functioning democracy.
But as my friend and incredible writer Relendra states in her most recent article,
“If we can no longer trust our public health officials, or our elections, or our press, it does not mean all hope is lost. Most societies in the history of human civilization did not have public health, nor free elections, nor a trustworthy establishment press. If it turns out we are now one of them again, it’s okay, there’s still hope for us. We can rebuild. Every society on Earth that ever had free elections, or a trustworthy press, or honest public health authorities, grew from a society that did not have such things.
In fact, the primary condition that would guarantee we cannot have such things is if we have already lost them—but cannot admit it to ourselves because we’re too afraid to look and find out. So let’s have a look and find out. The truth will set you free, even if it breaks your heart first. If these institutions are well and healthy, then taking a good long look at them to make sure of it will only reveal that they are well and healthy. Won’t that be reassuring?”
I highly recommend reading the entire article linked above. While you’re at it, check out Margaret Anna Alice’s letter to the Stanford Daily which includes extensive links and evidence that the Covid injectables are not only ineffective but actively causing harm, raising the very important and obvious question of why these products are still being mandated on college campuses. “Okay Viveka,” you might say, “perhaps you’re right and they’re causing harm. But isn’t it more likely that it was all a big oopsie? Why are you making claims that we don’t have a functioning democracy?”
To answer that one I’ll ask you to consider the implications of the government mandating any medicine or treatment, of how easily the majority of folks went along with a shaming and exclusion campaign against the unvaccinated, of the revolving door between pharmaceutical companies and governmental agencies that are charged with regulating such companies, and so on. And then I’ll refer you back to Relendra and her brilliant piece from 2021, Understanding Technocracy.
Mahatma Gandhi once stated:
“An error does not become truth by reason of multiplied propagation, nor does truth become error because nobody sees it. Truth stands, even if there be no public support. It is self-sustained.”
Margaret Anna Alice shares this quote at the end of her article, linked above, and points out rightly that the truth is there for those who are willing to see it. It is time that more of us courageously speak our truth and plant those seeds that will grow in the cracks of the mainstream narrative, cracks that will grow until the whole system starts to crumble. I predict that there will come a time when the sleeping majority will be unable to ignore the deafening crumbling, a time of awakening from the liminal space of in-between, a time of moving forward and healing. May that time come soon; may we make it so.
May we make it so, indeed! This was a beautiful article, Viveka. Thank you for continuing to plant those seeds in the cracks, so we can all grow through them together and blossom into our liberation under the light of truth!
