In the end, we will realize the only solution to international conflict/tensions and the degradation of our natural environment is mutual cooperation. When nations share the food and raw materials of Earth...which belong to all of her inhabitants...a miraculous series of events will unfold. Sharing is the key, not coercion but voluntarily pooling together of excess resources.

We need a fundamental paradigm shift for that to happen, but it's our only survivable option.

Yes. We need -- and I believe we have -- leaders with much higher consciousness on this planet who can inspire such a transformation. They are emerging publicly very soon.

Deeply agree with this comment.

Also, I was so impressed with this essay that I posted it on my FB and drew excepts into the comments for the people who can't read more than a paragraph at a time.

Also, very much agree with this statement:

"These are dangerously unconscious people."

Fabulous essay, thanks for your words, knew I could count on you to knock it out of the park and bring all the runners on bases into home plate. Big hugs.

From a mystical perspective, I read this excellent essay at 11:11.

I am wise enough to understand that that timing is not significant in the scientific world. However, simultaneously, I am proud to walk in both the spiritual and the scientific world and I absolutely resonate with this essay. It makes sense. It is filled with wisdom and I hope it is read by thousands of people and light their fires of recognition, as well as stimulate their conscious movement forward.

Thank you for speaking up and sharing your truth.

AHO

Absolutely, too true. And in 1979, the CIA stepped into/funded the Iranian revolution, and in the void of leadership (b/c the US had no good follow-up plan), the religious right of the country took over and they have been living in an effective dictatorship since, with a illusion of elections, not unlike Russia, or now the US. How do heartfelt intelligent people obliterate the toxic leadership in the world?

Thank you, Marianne. Such scary and absurd times. I still can’t get out of my head the words that came out of DJT’s mouth yesterday morning during his announcement, about 20 seconds before he handed it over to Hegseth- that he watched “one of the most precise attacks on sovereignty”. Such scary precedents that have been set over the past 12 months!

I just finished reading my friend Ken MacLean's "The Problem of Psychopathy" post here on Substack, which echoes in quite prominent detail the concerns, and repeating patterns you address here. The White House is full of these Characters! I always appreciate exposes like this. Let's not pretend that things are going well until They Actually Are!

Would love to read your friend's essay if you can post the link or refer me to his blog. LMK if I need to pay to have access to the essay (in that case I may not decide to read it).

Thanks.

What keeps me afloat is that every time the Trump gang sinks lower, I add that to the impetus we’re getting — and needing — to turn this ship of state around. And I marvel at how deep the rot has gotten, where we need such radically misguided energies to rebel against so we come to our senses.

So many people are seeing it, though...which is good.

I think the whole mess is because we have to see deeply so we get at where the rot comes from. And we are. But a perilous path.

We're in climate emergency/crisis/catastrophe, but it's a great time to invade an oil-producing nation so we can burn more of it. Ugh. 🙄😢😥
