People just seem to find me, I don’t look for them. Just as I do not look for information on either side of the fence for the mess the world is in right now, people send it to me. For the most part I do not look at the information sent to me, perhaps just to give it a glance, just as I sometimes browse the news headlines. Long ago I learned all the information necessary to find in mainstream news was in the headline, the stories themselves containing no real story. So this is my habit when it comes to learning about what is happening.
People I do listen to though, both sides, because it is their personal experience which matters most. Sometimes I egg them on to see what kind of reaction they have, but generally, I just allow them to tell me their story. This is the best way to understand a problem I find. Whether we agree or not, there is valuable information for each side of any argument when you get it from the people, not the news. The news can and is manipulated, something I learned as a child because of my parents. So, it has always interested me how many people talk to me, tell me their story, in part at least. Perhaps it is because they know instinctively I will listen.
So this week has been interesting for me as I talked to, and listened to, those who share their ideas regarding what is happening around us.
I believe the most significant person I spoke with this week, was a health care worker for this area. I don’t know her because I never go to the hospital or any doctors office, haven’t done so in many, many years. But the surprise conversation came yesterday afternoon, while I helped her load wood into her vehicle, although I did not realize what her profession was until late in the conversation. . She commented on how tired she was of having to wear the mask, so of course I agreed, stating I have PTSD and have panic attacks, so the mask is not good for me in any way. This is when she told me she had the shots months ago, but still is required to wear the mask. She also explained the vaccine was a requirement, done early because she was in healthcare. However even when she is in the office, she is required not only to wear the mask, but the face shield as well, for her whole shift. This made my blood boil, I have to say. So I could not help myself and asked her what was the point of getting the vaccine then? She literally stopped in her tracks, looked at me as her mouth dropped, the expression in her eyes telling me no one had asked her that before. She seemed unable to answer my question, clearly frustrated by it, and so just said she was tired of the whole thing. We said goodby, wishing each other a good afternoon, and I went away feeling quite satisfied with what I learned. Why indeed would one get the vaccine, if it does nothing to change the circumstances we are facing?
The other unusual thing which I did yesterday was to listen to an interview with a scientist who creates vaccines, has done for many years. He is considered the top guy in his field, and so definitely not an anti-vaccer like me. How interesting it was then, to hear how concerned he is about continuing with this vaccine drive. He is trying to stop it, so admits this makes him susceptible to losing his job, destroying his career. I am attaching the link sent to me, listen if you choose……hopefully it is still available, because the truth is often taken from our grasp!
This first link is with a very annoying host who made me crazy, but if you can get to the half way point, you will find the interview between a doctor and the scientist from Belgium.
If you can handle Del Bigtree’s annoying personality, the first half does have an interesting interview as well as someone challenges Dr. Fauci regarding the vaccine and the “herd” idea behind the vaccine. As always, at least with me, you are left to make up your own mind. The important thing, in my opinion, is to listen to both sides of the argument. If you only listen to the side which supports your belief, then you are closing your mind to an alternative possibility. This is never healthy because you are not getting the whole picture. This is why I like to challenge people, listen to their view and how they arrived to the conclusion they are so adamant about. If they can only see one side of the coin, I know they have been programmed.
This interview is only in part, but without the annoying Del Bigtree…..
I am quite sure I had the virus last year in Ecuador. Of course there was no way to know for sure as I couldn’t get tested, but I did read a couple of stories from people who were tested positive. Our experiences were very similar, so I had the very strong feeling I also had it. As always, rather than visit a doctor, I always go inside and ask “spirit” for guidance when I feel I am in need of help and do not know where to turn. This was how I came to think about having the virus, the answer came from “spirit”.
I remember thinking to myself, if this is how bad it gets, it’s hardly something to worry about. My experience with my first ever flu in the late ‘90’s was astronomically worse. That was a near death experience, my head felt like it would shatter from the extreme pain. I was in bed for 3 days, the first time I had ever spent so much time in bed, unable to function at all. The illness I experienced in Ecuador was so mild by comparison, I could not understand the fear behind the stories in the news. Of course in any flu season, there are deaths. The most vulnerable are those who are aged, or have a weak immunity for whatever reason. This is something we go through every year, and is is a tragedy we face in the cycle of life. There is no escaping germs, viruses or death, but we can learn to deal with these things without fear.
I am no different than anyone else, my fears have locked me into situations many times during my life. I continue to face those fears as I walk through life trying to understand why I have them. There are many reasons for that which I fear, but still I continue to try to learn more, hear both sides of the argument. It’s not always easy, especially when you spend so much time alone with your thoughts, but trying is the answer. I have so many triggers affecting daily choices, sometimes it is difficult to know what to accept as being the right path. This is why I go inside rather than asking for help many times. The information gathered from the many conversations, seems to come together in a way which helps me balance. I can understand others, I can understand myself having more compassion for us all when I do this. Those who refuse to look at a different alternative, even if they cannot accept it, are the only people I have no tolerance for. A closed mind is not worth exploring.
This last link is for a video from Canadian doctors who are speaking out about the virus, hoping to help people deal with the fear, I think. Some of them have had the virus, so they speak from experience as well. It is worth listening to, in my opinion…….

Information is all I am providing, no judgement. How you feel when you hear both sides, is something we all need to respect. As I have said in the past, it is only the concern my choices are being threatened which I feel unable to to compromise on. What others choose for their emotional, physical well-being is theirs alone to decide. However I feel one must hear both sides to make a true informed choice. The fact there are medical personal who adamantly sit on both sides of the fence should be a clue there is more to the crisis than we understand. We must look closer to get a clear picture of where our future is headed, we can’t do that with our heads in the sand. The government, does not have our best interests at heart!
