I love the idea of a village. I would love to experiment with things that challenge us like not vetting people. This so that we learn how to deal with all types of people and not avoid it. That way we all rise. It's a dream of mine to live near or in such a village, with people that think like I do, who are not afraid of disease and don't use toxins for cleaning, etc and doing really cool projects like helping to construct greenhouses and geodesic domes and making our own herbs, all sorts of good things. All the best to you and your family for 2025 Mike.

I think you're teaching your boys well, to be aware when they use the term "I am" as in "I'm sick". Something they can say instead is "I feel sick" because that acknowledges their feelings and they can think that that sick feeling is the body repairing itself. Imagine how wonderfully they would grow up with this innate confidence in their body's ability to heal itself.

Love it! Thanks for that tip! x

And instead of using the word "hope" how about replace it with the word "want", or "desire". I interpret "the universe" to be a bringer of sorts to anything we desire. But there is a code to it. We speak it into existence or whatever we think about mostly. But what we say, as you edified your boys on (say "I am" only for positive things) because we summon the results of our desires by what we speak as that has frequency. Our images and emotions to every word has frequency. And frequency can be "read". I can't wait till we figure out how to get back to our pure human selves.

I'm sorry to hear you are not liking Don Quixote--it's my favorite book of all time. I read it first when I was a sophomore in high school, and it still tops everything. Maybe one day you'll return to it and find more there. Dickens is great too, though. I love that you are reading those 19th century novels (DQ is, of course, from a much earlier century, or so we're told), even though I'm no longer sure that Dickens wasn't part of the reset. Still, it's good writing. Thanks for sharing your life, and I totally agree that we are headed into an upswing in the direction of things.

Actually it’s not that I don’t like it Betsy, I really appreciate it’s irony and wit but I think I’m just not feeling like that type of story right now and want more in-depth characters so I’m going to stay with Dickens and read Bleak House instead but may return to Don Quixote this summer!

I'm glad to hear it. Definitely a different kind of story than those of Dickens or many novelists. What I love about it is the idealism of Quixote--his insistence on seeing the best in most people and situations, and of fighting against the forces he saw as evil even if they were only windmills. I sense you might have a similar response when you read it.

Yes I know the story well mainly due to film and that is the ideal that I was drawn to the most. Have you seen Man of La Mancha starring Peter O’Toole? I think it’s a great adaptation of the book and captures a lot of that sentimentality in a sincere way (at least for Hollywood!)

Indeed, I am most familiar with the first Broadway version, from 1965, starring Richard Kiley. When I was a highly romantic and idealistic teenager, reading that book around the time the musical first came out, I had soon memorized "To Dream the Impossible Dream" and it became my theme song! I think I still know all the words. Those musicals were not really true to the book--I don't think the part where he is imprisoned by the Spanish Inquisition and telling his story to his fellow prisoners is in the book--but the adventures with Sancho Panza and Quixote's horse Rosinante, the part about the windmills and Dulcinea, etc.--that is all true to the original. And the aspect of defending the good, the true, and the beautiful, even to the death, that drew both you and me to it, that's all Cervantes.

Magical ? Its all good ? We are slated to be the next Yemen. Oblivion ?

Our true growth and awakening ? Live “our truth” ? A glimpse at “our being” ?

You speak Gibberish. Circling gibberish. Controlled opposition ? Truth.

Who’s ‘we’? Lay that out for us please. Sorry if you were triggered by my outlook but it’s clear by your comment that you haven’t followed along and that fear is your main driver. If you could point to one specific case of how I’m CO that would be nice too.

Mike, you are an incredible being. You don’t need to get into the ring with this commentator. I’m appreciative of your work and so are many others. Much love

Thanks Robin! Sometimes I feel like I need to stand up for myself when these types of claims are made but I do agree it’s often best to just let them be…
