Thank you sooo much for writing your stories and sharing them with all of us who have the privilege of reading them.
Josh Slocum recommended your Substack site — and because I soo admire Josh’s upfront, no holds barred revelations — I felt pretty positively disposed (as in biased towards) to like your writing — even before reading anything you wrote. Lolol
Sure enough, I read through about 6 of your most recent posts and I totally love and admire and applaud your courage to expose your precious vulnerable Self with all of us.
To Witness each other as we share our stories.
And as we Witness each other, we can feel the compassion and empathy and love we naturally feel for all our fellow travelers who experience life’s pains, sorrows, griefs, sadnesses, as well as joys and recoveries and healing our deeply embedded wounds.
I am sooo grateful to all the writers and commenters of the Substack community for providing this community with all their stories.
It feels to me like we are all graciously sharing and all gratefully receiving blessings from the Cosmic-Universe through our reading and writing and sharing our stories.
Re old German history.
If you’re interested, I discovered some unknown and untaught true and documented history that most all of us have never heard about before.
Which puts much of what is believed about what happened after the end of WWII — what actions were taken by the allied forces (particularly USA & General Eisenhower) — would make any normal person with a working conscious feel outraged. I certainly feel beyond furious myself.
There’s a bigger agenda operating — and Germany — like Russia — is and has been targeted for extermination.
Always the same with psychopaths.
They always target the best and brightest and most creative cultures for destruction.
It’s their recipe book.
The shaming and guilt tripping of entire nations and groups is an ongoing story.
That these psychoz have been so successful in sowing seeds of hatred against Germany, Germans, Russia, Russians, etc., et al with their narratives of lies should be shaming to those of us who believed their lies.
Mostly because, as Catherine Austin Fitts so elegantly describes the collective American psyche — we like to tell ourselves the “I am good” story. We like to think of ourselves as the “white-hats” — the heroes — the ultimate “good-guyz” — the knights in shining armor riding in to rescue the damsels in distress.
We’re a nation of mostly narcissists — who, like the Greek legend of Narcissus who falls in love with his own image reflected back to him in a pool of water — we like to see ourselves reflected back to ourselves at twice our natural size.
Germans have less to feel ashamed of than Americans. And Americans refuse to acknowledge, confront, examine, discover or admit that we individually and collectively have committed some of the most horrendously and egregiously vile and vicious and criminal acts against others in this world during any period of history with the possible exception of the Atlanteans. Who, out of hubris and arrogance, caused the world-wide flood approx 14,000 years ago.
And guess which nation most attracts and magnetizes those former Atlanteans to incarnate and be reborn again?
Exactly!! The very same.
Ok — long comment. Thanks for reading
My best wishes and hopes to you on your journey and may all your “ows” transform into “WOWs”.
Thank you for your interesting take. I think you're making things too easy for yourself by the number of universals you are positing. "Mothers and Fathers always have the best interest of their kid in mind". Obviously untrue since one exception (and all we know of many more than one) disproves the proposition. Another formulation is more reasonable, and perhaps more reliable when determining (and this can be the only thing that is determined under such a proposition) whether an intervention (neighborly or legally) into a family's child-rearing is needed.
"All things being equal, those who have chosen to have children are likely to care for those children's interests. " You might also find this disputable, but the disputation is more likely to be a "discussion" than the slam-dunk and very obvious rejection of the universal.
Some of your other propositions are similarly modifiable to reasonable conjectures.
The point I was making is exactly that these generalized statements are insufficient. They represent old dogmas I followed a while ago. They are not in any way meant to represent a complete thought process. Please read my text again, you very likely have misunderstood what I wrote completely.
I don't think I misunderstood. Some of the dogmas you have discarded involve subtleties and contradictions. For that reason, going beyond them requires much thought and the ability you manifest to want to play with those subtleties. But discarding such as believing all parents are child-oriented doesn't seem to convey any more importance than discarding the belief in the tooth fairy. Such also "Technological advancement is ALWAYS good." [emphasis supplied]. At any rate, I look forward to more from you.
I find you intellectual without being pretentious or arrogant. When people cannot calmly debate when they disagree, the simpleton’s defense is to resort to name calling. As for having a pulse, are you saying we should all be learning, growing and challenging ourselves? I would agree wholeheartedly with that for myself, but I think of my sisters who are content being who they were decades ago, just chronologically older. I think of coworkers who are educated and intelligent but a bit lacking in intellectual curiosity (in my opinion). Is it because they’re busy raising kids or grandkids, which takes up most of their hard drive… unlike someone like me who never had children? I don’t believe in trying to control others, so on one hand I envy their lack of restlessness, but on the other hand I worry that not enough people these days have an open mind and independent spirit. Discovering the wonderful world of podcasts has really broadened my horizons.
