hello @goodtogrow, I understand what are you saying. Do not despair (not that I feel that you are of that feeble kind anyway). but we do not remember much from our lives. Sometimes, like you, I wonder when someone recounts something and they go into details. And they ask me "do you remember", and I say, either no I don't or very vaguely. However, we need to factor in that we subjectify our experiences and when we lack a detail, we can add something, not to break the link of memory. In reality. we are truly sleep walkers. Without the concentrated and prolonged effort we remember but sprinkled moments of our life only. the rest is interpretation moulded by our subjectivity and imagination. So, dear @goodtogrow, you have been honest to observe that. That is an important step. With respect Mona

@Brendan thank you. I really do not want to offend anyone. But sometimes one need to say some things.

yeap it is a "It's a strange, strange society." as @Brendan say or a ?sick, sick society" I read an interesting quote: "When the pathology becomes prevalent, it is considered - normal" M

dear @louise, you said it. and you are right, and please pray for me, as it is slim pickings : )

HI @Brendan and the community, as you see, there are responses. I guess that my post might be very unpopular, but hey, who cares. This, and many other indicators are but a clear sign that this civilisation is at the brink of existence. It is Sodom and Gomorrah, but no one dares saying it. Everything goes as long it brings pleasure. Succumbing to all perversions and even flaunting and promoting it. Celebration of the corrosion of morals and lack of conscience is seen as "progressive". It sure is - "progressive" - we are progressing rapidly toward the end of civilisation. Women and men have naturally different roles, but they are - equal. However, equal does not mean the same. It is not interchangeable who has a p...s/strap on depending on a rainy day or who won the footy on Saturday. Anatomy, physiology and biology can certainly attest to that. As for the shrinking balls in some among male population... It is interlinked with the aggressiveness in some among female population. We are yin/yang and currently there is more yin (female energy) in a man and more yang (male energy) in a woman. Two opposing but unbalanced energies DO NOT make a balanced duo. ever. full stop. DISCLAMER | I am a woman, a mother, and oh so proud to be one. And I believe in the importance of education (being a doctor attests to that) presence in a work force and natural wish to develop and evolve. However I do not believe in aggressive pursuit of a careers, and the above mentioned perverse relations and mixing the natural roles and faculties and trying to be like a man. And vice versa, man who spends more time in front of the mirror fiddling with the hair and tweezers is unbalanced in the energies. As I am - a woman. And I have a deep respect for - real women And I have a deep respect for - real men. And compassion for everyone else. And it might surprise you that Nikola Tesla (my country man, so proud to say it) addresses that issue, in a subtler ways, but uncertain terms. EXCERPTS | +++ "I had always thought of woman," says Mr. Tesla, "as possessing those delicate qualities of mind and soul that made her in these respects far superior to man. I had put her on a lofty pedestal, figuratively speaking, and ranked her in certain important attributes considerably higher than man. I worshiped at the feet of the creature I had raised to this height, and, like every true worshiper, I felt myself unworthy of the object of my worship. "But all this was in the past. Now the soft-voiced gentle woman of my reverent worship has all but vanished. In her place has come the woman who thinks that her chief success in life lies in making herself as much as possible like man--in dress, voice and actions, in sports and achievements of every kind." +++ "The world has experienced many tragedies, but to my mind the greatest tragedy of all is the present economic condition wherein women strive against men, and in many cases actually succeed in usurping their places in the professions and in industry. This growing tendency of women to overshadow the masculine is a sign of a deteriorating civilization. "Woman's determined competition with man in the business world is breaking down some of the best traditions--things which have proved the moving factors in the world's slow but substantial progress. +++ "Perhaps the male in human society is useless. I am frank to admit that I don't know. If women are beginning to feel this way about it--and there is striking evidence at hand that they do--then we are entering upon the cruelest period of the world's history. +++ "Woman's discontent makes the life of the present day still more overstressed. The high pitch given to existence by people who are restless and dissatisfied because they fail to achieve things wholly out of proportion to the health and talent with which Nature has endowed them is a bad thing for the world. "It seems to me that women are not particularly happy in this newly found freedom, in this new competition which they are waging so persistently against men in business and the professions and even in sport. The question that naturally arises is, whether the women themselves are the gainers or the losers. +++ with respect and compassion Mona

@Pauline, nicely said : )

Dear @Brendan, I support your strike! Sometimes, these measures are necessary to strengthen the conscience and they certainly display fearless attitude in facing the un-conscious acts. The inner positioning is different from the outer. The inner needs acceptance, composure, forgiveness, and the outer needs action (like this) and protection of self. Two regimes functioning simultaneously. Sorry if this is a bit of philosophical. And to remind you, I am (we all are I presume) here because of you and your contributions and value. If you change your platform (though it is unlikely it will happen), does not matter, I will follow you. Stay wonderfully intelligent, astute and adorably cheeky and smile : ) Another coffee is on the way : ) Nadia

@Brendan, this is brilliant. I have struggled to understand some aspects of obedience, particularly in relation to authority. None of my friends took the injection, and some lost their jobs etc. However, majority of them are from Eastern Europe some Ozzies, but first generaton of immigrants. And in us, there is an ingrained distrust towards governments, authority, mandates, police, etc. As we have historically experienced that the above are certianly not to be blindly trusted, as they have, cheated, manipulated, played people and are at times very fond of bribary, lying, decit, etc. Opportunistic bunch for sure, given the half-chance. However, current Australians have never ever experienced major crisis like the world war, civil war, real economic crisis and poverty (and by the way, not having 3/4 extra hot skinny soy latte at 8:17AM is NOT a crisis : ) So I see this naive, gullible side in people here. Pathological level of suggestibility maybe as well. There is simply no reference point that THIS can happen, that the government might be saying porkies ot simply weaving the story for the profit or status or their agenda... I used to say to my lovely Aussies, when they dramatize about something alike their latte crisis or some trinket, too good is sometimes not too good... from the point of composure and compassion Nadia

dear @zarelaluzinsky I wholeheartdely agree with @Catherine Franklin, and I would love to hear you more. So lovely and from the heart. it is certianly felt. thank you

@millerg30, I agree with you. I am simply - DONE! LIfe does not wait to be lived.

thank you @Brendan, and yes, please share the details of teachers that have conscience and were not willing to submit themselves, nor support this genocidal act over our children. I will start with the letter to the principal provided by Peter Fam and go from there. But we have got to have contingency plan. So once more, thank you and everyone else her.

Dear @Brendan and and all free thinking human beings it has been some time now that I have stopped naively believing that love (in the common terms and relations) is - enough. The same applies to the Good. On it's own - it is simply not enough. Without plan and action, it slowly withers.. I have watched some good videos (you might have seen them already): 1. Monopoly" who owns the world where there is a hideously evil scene where they mockingly explain the planned panic and vaccination strategy for "swine flu" (after 38 minutes or so). The arrogance and deviousness is quite sobering (see Dr B Simulation 201 mention) 2. The Illusion of Knowledge - Dr David E. Martin he says something interesting (I will paraphrase) ... we made a mistake, we did not study evil... This really struck cord with me. It got me thinking am I, are we, a little bit naïve in relation to Good as in relation to Love? How does the evil operate, what do we see? It is highly strategic structured and organized. There are short term and long-term goals and objectives. The message is consistent, repeated and the effort is concerted. What about the Good then? The Good needs to act and it does need to be strategic and needs to know where it is going and how to get there. This platform is obviously one of the growing influences in the direction of Good. For example, I know a bit more about medicine and documentation is crucial. It can spark some light and questions. Documentation | 1. the evil manifestations Pfizer | Violation Tracker Parent Company Summary Penalty total since 2000 | US$10,193,896,333 It is incredulous for me that people worship so much pharma as if they are direct angelic influences from God. They do not see this as – horribly wrong. Instilling fear, shame, guilt and prison – helps (see under strategy of the evil). However, repeated message works for the Good as well, and the money has a strange power in the Anglo Saxon world I found.. 2. why are our children vaccinated so much? Doctoral Research spanning 62 years A critical analysis of the Australian government’s rationale for its vaccination policy. A critical analysis as it should be. Food for thoughts… 3. Centrelink benefits for: Deceased COVID-19 vaccine recipient payments and funeral costs No comment needed. So lets gather forces. Everyone has value to offer if one wishes to do so. @Dr. Brendan, you can lead, well you already are. Everyone can contribute but we need to learn from the evil as well. Thank you for reading… Nadia

@Brendan, I wholeheartedly agree! Action is required. Count me in. And I do speak another language, so thats a bonus. One of Novak, hint hint... What kind of help is needed and how to organize the Parallel event? I am sure many will volunteer! Count me in. Nadia

dear @Brendan, you made me smile. Thank you!

@Brendan, jokes aside, thank you for being open.

@Brendan, DONE! I am getting you coffee and the cream bun now as a prepayment : )

Dear @Dr.B, thank you for this beautiful poem, really fitted to be remembered. N

Dear @Leah D , I almost fell of the chair seeing Charles Bukowski's poem! Thank you so much. I have lost hope that anyone actually knows this kind of literature. As what I see the "books" most read here are the Herald Sun, the Age and the authors most followed are Jay-Z and Beyonce... Apologise to admirers of the aforementioned "books & writers"... (not really, but one has to be polite, right?) And I always wondered with English, when you put the in front, does it make it more important? the Nadia : )

Me again... Hey, Dr B, I agree with help, yes, but I believe in friendships a lot. My friends are my, pastors, my counsellors, my guides, my therapists, and I am all of that for them as well. So, to add to your list, invest in people - not products. and a potential bumper sticker from me.. Worry is the best way to destroy your present, and spoil the future. N equally hermit and an introvert

to add to the above post for you and hopefully many this might have value. I said - might : ) "Man never on any account wants to pay for anything; and above all he does not want to pay for what is most important for him. You now know that everything must be paid for and that it must be paid for in proportion to what is received. But usually a man thinks to the contrary. For trifles, for things that are perfectly useless to him, he will pay anything. But for something important, never. This must come to him of itself." G.I. Gurdjieff
