I watch the clouds float by,
Across a blue lit sky.
Nothing clings to mind’s eye,
As I watch all thoughts float by.

Who are we when nobody is watching?
People play up to a crowd, whether they be a priest, rabbi, imam, whether they be a singer, dancer, a model, or advocate. People wear the professional mask they wear, and people trust in said mask, far too much if you ask me. Being in the teaching profession for close to 2 decades I have witnessed the worst of abusive behaviours coming from the most well respected of teachers. I’ve seen a teacher threaten a child with the following, “The next time you mess on that toilet seat, I’ll get you to lick it clean”. For reference sake, that was in a UK school in the year 2020. The woman in question is now the deputy head teacher.
There is no telling who it is you have chosen to place your faith in, to raise your children beside you, or to treat your loved one for a complex medical illness. Humans are fallible, they make mistakes, they judge, hold bias and prejudice, and they punish, hate and condemn those they wish to hurt. Human beings cannot be trusted, you all know that, perhaps you wish it was different, so you can happily continue taking pharmaceutical ‘remedies’ instead of researching your ailments and discovering they are directly related to childhood abuse (read Gabor Mate, such a medical revolution he is pioneering).
Ignorance is far easier to cling to than the quest for truth, freedom and justice, it is why suffering has become an accepted way of life. Where there is more than enough money, food, water and fuel (aka, sunlight, wind, sea), we still see immeasurable suffering, and why – greed! Only ever greed. The tides are turning as time exposes the true criminals, those with the power and influence to change everything, but who choose not to. Did you know that Rockefeller designed the modern university medical degree to suit his sales tactics? That homeopathic and all-natural remedies were determinably ‘deleted’ from awareness in order for a family to become richer than rich from pharmaceutical sales?
There is much to learn that is scary. It can be frightening to recognise your own sheep-like nature and how you sleep walk through life believing what the world delivers to you, even more so how you go on to label this misinformation as truth, then fight and argue about it with righteousness. To trust the metaphorical devil is to trust the main sources of information, those geared up to lead you away from empowerment, choice and freedom. The world is also designed not to make such a personal evolution easy, if the cages were easy to unlock we would not be so stagnated and left to struggle to survive things unimaginable.
The mental health crisis should be telling us something, we are not safe, we are not protected energetically from birth, and we are not saved when we should be. Too many are committing suicide, hopeless as they are, when they should be safely tucked away in hospital and supported back to health, for as long as it takes. The money is there, the expertise and innovative techniques are here to stay, why aren’t they accessible? Why aren’t they utilised fully and for all? Why do we fight to access what is God-given to save life and enhance the quality of it? Because there is more money to be made from the sick and dying than there is the healthy and independent.
Where we stand independent, we are not dependent on society and all it has to offer. We are not reliant on the story that taxes are worth paying, that outdated medical infrastructures deserve our never ending gratitude; we are not dependent on the teat feeding us drivel and toxic garbage, be that in the form of food or nasty news-like storytelling, that which determines how you see the wider world and your place in it. Who are you when no one is watching – a thinker, questioner, a pioneer in a sea of illusion and lies? Or a sheep, happily being fed from the factory of poisonous, toxic lies and well-designed fairytales?
