In this article, I depart, for a moment, from the strategy of citing evidence in my coverage of the “China epidemic.” (For my series of articles on the “China epidemic,” click here.)

Instead, I want to make a few brief notes on the subject of power.

For many or most people, there is a kind of programming in the mind which urges the acceptance of viruses as powerful. This programming results in visceral emotional reactions toward microbes.

The collection of sensations would be something like: riding on a train heading toward a possible break in the tracks. Each person on board has been warned. No one is sure whether the tracks, a few miles in the distance, have actually been ripped apart. The train’s engineer in the cab isn’t stopping.

There is fear, of course. But there is also something else. An almost wild feeling. Where does it comes from? It comes from the realization that power is SOMEWHERE. Where? In the potential break in the tracks.

People don’t often experience a sensation of power. For that reason, they don’t want to minimize the importance of the tracks up ahead. They don’t want to throw away that feeling. At some level, they believe that, if they do throw it away, there will be no power anywhere. And THAT would provoke panic.

The idea that they might be coddling an ILLUSION—and the whole warning they received was a monstrous fabrication to begin with—well, this prospect is entirely out of the question. That couldn’t be, under any circumstances. That would be too, too much.

If you were so foolish as to approach such a person and suggest he could, first and foremost, look to his OWN power, he would stare at you as if you were speaking a language from another planet. To say that your advice, under the circumstances—the speeding train, the tracks, the warning—was inappropriate…this would be a vast understatement.

If a person, for whatever reason, believes he has no significant power, he searches for it elsewhere. If he can find a train, a warning, and danger, he’ll climb onboard. It’s far, far better than nothing.

In our society and present culture, of course, the thought that the individual has a great deal of inherent power, and a right to it, is on the wane. That ship, to go to another metaphor, is taking on lots and lots of water.

Typical sociopaths in high places, and their bootlickers, apply basic psychology they don’t teach in fifty-thousand-dollars-a-year colleges: People must be able to imagine power is SOMEWHERE. They don’t believe they have it themselves. So why not invoke images of power in a venue which results in a strange allegiance:

“I’ll see and feel power in a fearful threat to me. I’ll sign on and remain loyal, no matter what. I’ll cling to my threat, and I’ll feel rising fear and strange rising joy together.”

That’s the speeding train, the warning, the tracks.

That’s the virus.

    “I want to make a few brief notes on the subject of power… there is a kind of programming in the mind which urges the acceptance of viruses as powerful…
    It comes from the realization that power is SOMEWHERE. Where?”

    When one does not know what the power is or where it comes from is the start of everything going wrong. And until that horrid confusion is corrected there can be no truth or healing.

    “If a person, for whatever reason, believes he has no significant power, he searches for it elsewhere.”

    If one believes that he or she has no significant power… that might be the worst sin of all. Why? Each of us was created as a fractal of The Divine. As such, each of us is a piece of Divinity. And where is True Power? In the Divine Great Spirit.

    And so, how could each of us be OTHER THAN great powerful beings? We are those powerful beings. It is WE OURSELVES ALONE who can negate that power in ourselves.

    And when we deny our own power – or, empower something outside ourselves that does NOT deserve it — we have just done the greatest sin. We have acted to counteract our birthright of Divinity. And when we have denied that power in us… all the other sins of the World can then follow.

    People who have had Near Death Experiences come back with a feeling of wholeness and empowerment and a feeling of being ‘home’. Why? Because they had for a time shed their flesh suit of weakness-feeling and cosmic confusion and FELT themselves to be what we are ALL THE TIME even when we don’t know it.

    We should not wait until we get ‘Over There’ to feel these things. We should feel that RIGHT NOW. Because that is who and what we truly are.

      Although I consider myself to be a truther, quote, unquote and thus easily see how this applies to anyone who has bought the COVID lies, hook, line and sinker…

      I now see that I have committed a similar sin, by buying into other fear-based stories from so-called journalists that I have never met and have little reason to fully believe.

      Feeling this fear dujour (if you will), daily, insulates me from feeling much of anything, or even getting around to living!

      Thank you both, Roundball and Jon for these insights.

        Don’t be too hard on yourself. We have all been made subject to life-long mind and social traumas that get us off our game and rightful course.

        The brilliant book ‘The Myth of Normal’ by Dr. Gabor Maté lays out in detail how society and our own personal social lives have traumatized us and made a toxic mess out of our Society and our own personal lives.

        And of course we can thank State Media and Anti-Social Media and brutal peer pressures to derailed us off our track and right into the ditch of confusion and disconnection from our very selves.

        The fact that you recognize that you got off course is what is leading you in the right direction. It is all those millions of deluded masses who have no idea just how effed up they are and that they are on a destructive course that have something big to worry about.

        • Sonia says:

          Is that the same Gabor Mate who blames everything that’s painful, unpleaant, unbalanced, flawed and deficient in a person – on his or her parents’ way of child rearing and “environment” in general? Alas, I think it is. No “nature” for Dr. Mate, not even a bit – it’s all “nurture”. So that we can run to psychiatry for their “help”. LOL.

So that we can run to psychiatry…”

            The essence of his book is that Society in general and all of us as individuals have become accustomed to a Society and lifestyle that is very sick… and the great cause of that sickness is trauma of various kinds and sources which he outlines in great detail. That trauma can and does come from anywhere. It has become normalized into Modern Life.

            And his own personal transformation and epiphany had nothing to do with psychiatry. It was profound personal transcendent experiences he had that have nothing to do with the phony psychiatry ‘profession’. And he proposes solutions that also have nothing to do with that phony profession.

            Abuses by governments and corporations and other non-human entities are also a great source of traumas and they also have nothing to do with that phony psychiatry.

            He is on to something big here. And the fact that he is right over the target is why he gets a lot of anger and abuse for his clear identification of most of our Societal problems.

  2. A Reader emailed me the following comment:

    ~~~

    THIS SAYS IT ALL: President Biden issued two executive orders requiring vaccination against COVID for federal workers and contractors who work for the federal government. He also asked the Department of Labor to issue an emergency order requiring businesses with more than 100 employees to ensure their workers are vaccinated or tested on a weekly basis.

    But the mandates for federal employees do not apply to members of Congress or those who work for Congress, also not for the executive branch or the federal court system. Illegal migrants rushing across the border are not included in the order mandating Covid vaccines so, indirectly, they are exempt also.

    It is fascinating how no one in the press corps asked the obvious question: “If the vaccines are truly safe and effective, why is anyone exempt?” Think about this matter for a moment, and it will become clear that Covid vaccines have nothing to do with stopping pandemics or protecting lives. You also will know who is to be spared and who is to be sacrifice.
