“… So let us not talk falsely now, the hour’s getting late” ~ Bob Dylan/Jimi Hendrix – All Along The Watchtower
Travel back through the centuries to the Oak woods of France’s Brittany or the kraals of ancient Great Zimbabwe and the people one encounters would be less surprised by our dress, our electronics, our speech than they would by our sense of who we are.
Our modern, communal sense of reality is one that is defined by a limiting time frame of about 70 years. When viewed through such a focusing lens, Earth’s rising temperature, truly appears alarming. When viewed through more prosaic millennia, the rise and fall of Earth’s surface temperature is analogous to the circadian rhythms of all life.
Not for one moment do I doubt anthropological global warming, but to truly understand the reality of Earth and the challenges it faces we must use a frame of reference relative to the life span of Earth, not of humankind. Because the warming of Earth’s atmosphere is a story about Earth and not about humankind.
Those travelling in awareness will often hear it claimed that there is more than one reality. But how can this be so? ‘Reality’ is a noun. It refers to that which is real rather than which is imagined. When talking of the realities of life we’re still only talking about the one reality. The plural here only refers to the many facets of life combining to create the singular ‘reality’. The use of the plural does not allow for the coalescing around multiple points of that which we wish to conjure into being.
My reality is your reality; the reality of others is, whether we are comfortable with it or not, our reality too. The only problem being that we all struggle to recognise or accept reality for what it is. Why this is so is captured most dramatically in the polarised positions taken by all sides of the anthropological global warming (AGW) debate.
Those taking the ‘Earth’s side’ choose not to see the argument of those taking ‘industry’s’ side. It’s not that each side is incapable of understanding the other’s arguments, facts and position. It is simply that each side is operating from a different ‘reality’. But if reality is a singularity, as laid out above, how can that be so?
Simple, each side has set aside reality for a chosen cloak of deception. Each side chooses its own most compelling metrics, be it average temperature, loss of year round polar ice, desertification etc. Each side chooses its most compelling time frame, 100 years brings averages in to stark focus, while a 1,000,000 year time frame flat-lines the averages into background noise.
Deception is the primary nom de guerre of that which would falsely claim to be reality. It is joined by distraction. We are increasingly aware that governments, businesses and organisations around the world choose times of significant distraction to release bad news.
Both deception and distraction have a powerful, alien persona on their team; our ego. Our egos work every hour of every day keeping us in pursuit of small jolts of instant gratification to stall or prevent us identifying reality.
Our egos tell us to fear reality because our egos know that it is singular and it is the truth, and our egos cannot survive coming face-to-face with the truth. But if we cannot face the truth then we will never be able to face each other. And so love, trust and happiness will always remain illusionary.
An essential part of a journey in awareness is to curtail the power of the ego, and that is achieved only when we accept reality. Doing so may be unpleasant, may cause difficulties, may even force a change of direction. But not doing so will have a far greater impact; we live life in a lie. Should we accept to do so, all the books, the workshops, the practice we put into our journeys towards awareness will be for nought. The awareness we seek, and the freedom which we hope will spring from it, will only come when we accept the one, true reality. And that reality is, that we are perfect as we are. The imperfections, fault-lines and flaws we think exist are just our ego keeping us creating deceptions and seeking distractions.
Bob Dylan may or may not have faced reality. But in his poetry he reached deeper than many celebrated poets.
Do not talk falsely; do not accept a life lived in anything other than reality.
Time is getting late; we can never regain the time we live outside a life lived in awareness.

As children, we are all born with healthy souls, but sometimes life does a number on us. The traumas of childhood, the wounds of coming of age, the sacrifices we make for our careers and our families, the losses that eat away at our joy, and the fears we inherit from an anxious, panicked culture take their toll, and if you’re like many of us, by the time you reach adulthood, you’ve lost touch with the vital, healthy soul that still thrives and radiates within every single of one of us.
This was certainly true for me. After a happy childhood, my soul was still very alive and vital through my teen years, but my medical education changed all that. After a decade of difficult, sometimes abusive medical education, I felt disconnected from my soul. I know it never left me- souls never do– but at the time, I found it hard to let my soul guide my life. After ten more years working within a system that left me feeling like I was selling my soul for the job security and financial stability my career offered, I found myself coming home from work at the end of every day feeling like I had so much more to give my patients, but the system was keeping me from serving in the way my soul yearned to serve. What resulted was illness, depression, chronic anxiety, insomnia, divorce, and a feeling of disconnection from the calling that drew me to medicine in the first place.
On the outside, it looked like I had the perfect life. Nobody guessed that my soul was getting buried deeper and deeper. I was so worried people could see how dark I had gotten without the light of my soul shining through unimpeded that I tried even harder to cover the darkness with a mask of perfection. The more worried I got that I would somehow blow my cover, the more pressure I put upon myself to keep the masks in place.
But those masks only furthered my disconnection from my soul. I had the Doctor Mask, which led me to climb up onto a pedestal and pretend to know it all. Then I had the Artist Mask, where I pretended to be deep and brooding and mysterious. And then there was the Mommy Mask and the Perfect Wife Mask, which led me to feel the pressure of baking the perfect cupcake or always wearing sexy lingerie in bed.
It was exhausting, trying to keep up appearances, when deep down, I felt so lost, helpless, hopeless, and alone. But I was afraid to seek help. After all, I was a doctor. I thought I had to keep up the appearance of having it all together. Otherwise, who would trust me to take care of them?
Then my Perfect Storm blew through. Within two weeks of giving birth to my daughter, my dog died, my healthy young brother wound up in full blown liver failure as a rare side effect from the antibiotic Zithromax, and my beloved father passed away from a brain tumor. All hell broke loose, and my beleaguered soul stood up and said, “NO MORE!”
I finally decided to quit my job in conventional medicine in 2007. I now realize that this was a sentinel moment in the evolution of my soul. Shortly after quitting my job, I wound up taking a writing workshop at Esalen Institute in Big Sur, where a quiet little voice inside me kept telling me I was supposed to go and meet someone. After ignoring the little voice for way too long, I finally gave in, and when I arrived at Esalen, a woman asked me why I was there, and I said, “Because I’m supposed to meet someone here.”
After listening to a little bit of my story, she piped up and said, “Oh, you’re supposed to meet Dr. Rachel Naomi Remen.”
I had never heard of Rachel, but when I got back home, I looked her up online, bought her book Kitchen Table Wisdom, read the whole book within 24 hours, and along with the 4 million other readers who have read Kitchen Table Wisdom, I fell in love with Rachel. We met soon afterwards at a workshop she was leading for doctors, and I have spent the last six years as part of a small group of doctors who meet monthly on Wednesday nights at Rachel’s house to discuss finding meaning in medicine. (I joke that Mitch Albom had Tuesdays With Morrie. Me, I’ve had Wednesdays With Rachel.)
In that circle of love, my soul started to heal from two decades of insults, and under Rachel’s mentorship, I found within myself a strength and a resilience I didn’t know I had. Some dim part of me I had almost lost touch with, the part I now call my “Inner Pilot Light,” began to flicker, and with the medicine of Rachel’s love and the love of the other doctors in our study group, I started to feel whole again for the first time in years. Once the barriers between me and my soul started mending, other parts of my life started falling into place. I started blogging and writing books and got in touch with my life’s purpose. Doing my soul’s work generated plenty of revenue so I could dig my family out of the hole of debt I had landed us in after quitting my job. Relationships I had nearly destroyed began to heal, and I started attracting new relationships into my life with people who were on the same healing journey to reclaim the soul that I was.
As a result, my spiritual life, which I had long ago abandoned because my soul didn’t resonate with the rigidity and judgments of my strict Christian upbringing, began to come back to life. I found myself on a spiritual path that led me to explore a variety of spiritual practices that felt authentic to my soul. As a result of this soul work, my health also improved, and I went from taking seven medications to taking only half the dose of one of them, and all of my many symptoms, the ones my doctors had told me would be chronic and require medication for life, disappeared.
In other words, my entire life changed. And it all started with a little voice I now recognize as the voice of my Inner Pilot Light, which told me to go to Esalen, because I was supposed to meet someone there. Your soul can be tricky like that. The soul speaks in mysterious ways. It’s persistent and unrelenting when you’re not paying attention. It will appear in dreams if your conscious mind is resisting its presence. And if you’re really ignoring the whisperings of the soul, the Divine is likely to thwack you upside the head with the proverbial two by four, the way I was hit with my Perfect Storm. The voice of your soul may feel scary, because sometimes the whispers speak of truths you’d rather suppress. But the truth will always set you free.

You may know that your body is brilliantly equipped with natural self-repair mechanisms that repair broken proteins, kill cancer cells, fight infections, retard aging, and generally keep your body healthy. But did you know that these self-repair mechanisms can be flipped on – or off – with the power of thoughts, beliefs, and feelings that originate in the mind?
It’s not New Age hocus pocus. It’s simple physiology! Here’s how it happens for the nerds among you who, like me, like to understand how things in the body work.
Your nervous system operates in two different states – the “fight-or-flight” stress response, when the sympathetic nervous system dominates, and the relaxation response, when the parasympathetic nervous system is in charge. But here’s the kicker- your body’s natural self-repair mechanisms only activate when your body is in a relaxation response!
The average person experiences 50 stress responses per day, and every time you have a fearful thought or a pessimistic belief or a resentful feeling, you trigger stress responses that fill the body with poisonous stress hormones like cortisol and epinephrine. But when you have an optimistic belief or a loving thought or a feeling of compassion, you activate relaxation responses, and the body can then do what it does best – heal itself.
How can you help your body heal itself? It’s all about reducing stress responses and adding in relaxation responses. Reducing your stress requires taking a good look at your life to determine whether there are any areas where you’re living out of alignment with your truth and personal integrity. Maybe you’re in a soul-sucking job or a toxic relationship, or maybe it’s time to finally forgive your father or pursue a dream. While reducing stress responses can require some radical actions, activating relaxation responses can be easy and pleasurable.
Laughter
Playing with animals
Meditation
Dance
Generous giving of time or gifts
Massage
Creative expression
Attending religious services
Practicing gratitude
Nurturing touch
Seeing an alternative medicine practitioner
Listening to music
Still not sure how to heal yourself? Get quiet and tap into your intuition and ask yourself this one question –
What does my body need in order to heal?
Let yourself hear the truth, and then choose one baby step you can take right now that will either reduce stress responses in your life or increase relaxation responses. Then muster up your courage and take action!
By the time I was 33 years old, I had been diagnosed with a whole laundry list of health problem my doctors deemed chronic and incurable, but by making The Diagnosis for myself and writing my own Prescription, I was able to enlist the help of my body’s natural self-repair mechanisms and get off all but 1 of the 7 medications I was taking – and I’m now symptom-free. You can read all the juicy details of my personal Prescription – all the things I did to overcome my multiple health conditions – in my book Mind Over Medicine, which you can order here.
You can activate the same sort of radical self-healing in yourself when you make your body ripe for miracles by allowing your self-repair mechanisms to operate optimally.
With faith in your body’s natural self-repair mechanisms.
Global Research, September 28, 2021
I have had confirmation of my report last Saturday that Norway has terminated all Covid restrictions (see this). I am uncertain whether it is an immediate termination or the beginning of a phase out.
Norway’s equivalent to the CDC has downgraded Covid-19 to a strong flu.
There will be no Covid passport. In Sweden Covid restrictions are scheduled to end this Wednesday September 29. The Danish government decided two weeks ago to end Covid restrictions.
The President of Croatia has also declared: “We will not be vaccinated anymore.” (see this) Have you heard any of this on CNN, NPR, MSNBC or read it in The NY Times?
How do we explain Scandinavia and Croatia going the opposite direction to the EU?
IIt is a known fact the the EU government is authoritarian, not democratic. Power rests in an unelected Commission. As Covid restrictions are a boon to authoritarianism, perhaps the Scandinavian governments have decided against that direction.
The Scandinavian position is also totally different from the US one where the CNN-NPR-MSNBC-NY Times lie machine and Big Pharma shills such as Fauci, Walensky, and the White House Idiot continue to push for mask mandates, vaccination of children, booster shots, and firings and lockdowns if there is public resistance to any more inoculation.
Why Are We Being Deceived About COVID?
The lie machine keeps turning out propaganda that adverse reactions to the vaccine are new Covid cases among the unvaccinated, that the vaccine protects despite requiring endless boosters and that if it doesn’t protect it still reduces Covid mortality, that 1,000,000 American children have Covid, and every other lie they can concoct to drive people into more injections. Is profit the only motive? Probably not. Elite Americans are the largest audience at the World Economic Forum’s “Great Reset” indoctrinations.
If Scandinavia can recover from the Covid brainwashing, why cannot the US, UK, and EU?
And what is wrong with Israel? Jews are supposed to be intelligent. Yet Israel continues a self-defeating policy in the face of Israeli mainstream media broadcasts that the vaccination policy is a total failure— see this. If the English translation of the news broadcast is correct, of the previous day’s new 279 Covid cases in Israel, 259 were “fully vaccinated.” Only 29 were “unvaccinated.” In other words 90% of the new Israeli Covid cases were fully vaccinated people.
The Israeli news broadcast goes on to report that the US CDC has admitted that people infected with the “Delta variant” have the same viral load whether or not they are fully vaccinated. In other words, vaccinated people can spread the virus as easily as the unvaccinated and thus the policy of excluding vaccinated Covid patients from quarantine is nonsensical. The news announcer says such questions are not discussed because of concern that people will not bother to take the vaccine. The only remaining reason the news announcer can find for taking the vaccine is the unverified, and almost certainly false, claim that whereas you have no protection from the vaccine against catching Covid, you have a smaller chance of dying from the virus if you are vaccinated. This conclusion leaves out the known injuries and deaths from the vaccine itself, but there is probably a limit to what the news organization can report.
So there you have it. The only remaining justification for being vaccinated is the unverified claim that although the vaccine will not reduce your chance of catching Covid, it will reduce your chance of dying from Covid as long as you ignore the chance of serious health injury or death from the vaccine itself.
Obviously, Israel should turn an eye to India, Japan, and Africa where Ivermectin is in widespread use and has shut down Covid. This policy is far more safe, efficient, and much less costly than the mRNA vaccines. Why is the Israeli government ignoring the obvious solution and instead conducting a Holocaust policy against Israeli Jews?
Why are the US, UK, EU, Canadian, Australian, and New Zealand governments conducting a Holocaust policy against their own people?
This plandemic provides time to upgrade your way of thinking, and this book is perfect to get you started on a new path and a new way of looking at life.
A gentle suck on the red pill.

The way things were in the US/West long ago no longer exists.
State-sponsored 9/11 was a game-changer, the mother of all false flags until way-surpassed by deceptively giving garden variety flu a scary new name.
What followed was unjustifiably justified by an invented SARS-CoV-2 virus that was never isolated in lab analysis and doesn’t exist.
The same goes for long ago Boston. The way it was when I grew up also no longer exists.
It was a time when inner city school teachers taught, students learned, and classroom decorum was conducive to learning.
The way things were let ordinary kids like himself, with nothing special going for them, advance to higher education and benefits it brought at the time — that no longer exist for most youths in the US today, nor in the West overall.
Back then, higher education was affordable for virtually anyone, the will to successfully complete academic studies the only requirement.
Attending today in the US entraps millions of students in debt bondage because of exorbitantly higher education costs — at a time when career opportunities are a shadow of what they were post-WW II in the late 40s, 50s and 60s.
New Deal, Fair Deal, and Great Society programs helped millions of Americans avoid poverty — social programs that worked, greatly eroded and heading toward disappearing altogether today.
The post-WW II Servicemen’s Readjustment Act (GI Bill) provided college or vocational education for 7.8 million returning vets.
Another 2.4 million got VA-backed low-interest, no down payment home loans at a time when their average cost was around $5,000 — letting millions of families afford them.
Strong unions and high-paying factory jobs with good benefits elevated millions of Americans to middle-class status, what’s fast disappearing today.
The economy then grew most years at around 3.5%.
Through the 1960s, blue-collar workers were the biggest buyers of many luxury goods and services, including homes and autos.
What once was back then is a distant memory today.
My hometown Boston’s dismal state is replicated nationwide.
Protracted depression conditions exist for most working-age Americans.
Based on how economic data were calculated pre-1990, unemployment today is 25.4% — not the phony lowball 5.2%.
CPI inflation is 13.2%, not the officially reported 5.4% — nor reported 4% excluding food and energy.
Everyone who eats, drives a car, pays rent or services a mortgage, has medical bills, heats and/or air conditions living space, and has kids in college knows more about inflation than talking head TV economists paid to deceive, not inform viewers.
Video: The Dark Future of Health Passports
After all things flu/covid obliterated what remained of things as they were when I grew up long ago, tyranny became the law of the land.
Most Americans were mind-manipulated to go along with what harms their health and fundamental rights — on the phony pretext of what protects them.
Jabs and health passports — digital or otherwise — are symbols of modern-day tyranny.
Along with all else flu/covid related, they transformed the US/West more than ever into societies unsafe and unfit to live in.
On September 24, my hometown Boston Globe deceptively claimed that flu/covid “passports are the ticket back to normal (sic).”
What the Globe considers “normal” is hugely abnormal by any definition of normality. See below.
As a boy and adolescent, my favorite entertainment was attending a Red Sox game at Boston’s Fenway Park — when the league’s biggest stars were Ted Williams and Joe DiMaggio.
As an older teenager and youth through college, it was attending Boston Pops concerts at Symphony Hall during its golden age under conductor Arthur Fiedler.
The only constraint to attending was the admission price when Fenway Park bleacher tickets cost 60 cents and unreserved Symphony Hall second balcony seats were practically free at 50 cents, including ones overlooking the stage and podium where I and friends usually sat by showing up early to get them.
What I remember fondly was replaced with the following:
Red Sox attendance requires compliance with so-called “health and safety” rules unrelated to either.
Fans may not carry bags to the ballpark, except for medical devices or diapers.
Masks are required beneath the stands at refreshment locations, other facilities and restrooms.
Unjabbed fans must where masks that don’t protect at all times everywhere inside Fenway Park.
For the upcoming basketball and hockey seasons, proof of having been fully jabbed or gotten a meaningless negative PCR test result is required for attendance.
The Globe noted that verifying the above for thousands of ticket-holders won’t “be a piece of cake” for checkers.
The same goes for fans forced to put up with what no one should tolerate.
Defying science, the Globe falsely claimed that the above practice is “doing the right thing (sic),” adding:
“And it certainly isn’t alone among sports and performance venues around the state.”
Attending Boston Symphony or Pops concerts is worlds apart from my fond memories.
Proof of being toxic-jabbed or a negative PCR test proving nothing is required for entry into Symphony Hall.
The same goes for virtually all theaters and entertainment venues in the city.
The price of admission includes having sacrificed health and well-being.
Proving it should for access to most other public places throughout the city and state should be required, according to the Globe, saying:
“(I)t behooves the public sector to make the job of checking the authenticity of those (jabs) easier.”
“And that means some form of uniform (jab) ‘passport’ — a QR code, a chip, some kind of digital proof that the bearer has indeed gotten the requisite number of shots.”
According to the Globe, Massachusetts “has fallen behind the curve (sic),” adding:
Yet Governor Charlie Baker said he’s exploring the notion of mandating health passports statewide.
“Getting to the point where there’s a relatively simple process for people to credential the fact that they’ve been (fully jabbed) will be important for a whole bunch of reasons,” he falsely claimed.
The draconian practice is mandated in New York and California, notably in Israel as well.
Children’s Hospital in Boston (rated the nation’s best) developed a so-called SMART Health Card.
The Globe called on Governor Baker to show “leadership on this issue (sic).”
If digital and/or other health passports are mandated for access to most public places, the city and state I grew up in long ago will become more unfit to live in than already.
Global Research, September 29, 2021
On July 29 the Washington Post ran an article titled “‘The war has changed’: Internal CDC document urges new messaging, warns delta infections likely more severe.”
As one would expect, the article did not receive much traction or exposure.
Needless to say, it is difficult to overstate the importance of the information contained in that piece. The article references an internal CDC slide presentation which summarizes preliminary data that the agency had in its possession but which it refuses to honestly share with the American public.
According to the Washington Post writers, this CDC document
“cites a combination of recently obtained, still-unpublished data from outbreak investigations and outside studies showing that vaccinated individuals infected with delta may be able to transmit the virus as easily as those who are unvaccinated.” [emphasis added]
In other words, as far as the transmission of the prevalent delta variant is concerned, it does not matter whether one is vaccinated or not. According to CDC analysis both groups appear to become infected and infect others at the same rate.
You can view and examine this internal CDC document for yourself as the Washington Post has made it available on its website. (Please see here.) You can also download the document as a PDF file from the newspaper’s website at this link.
Slide #17 of this report carries the following heading: “Delta variant vaccine breakthrough cases may be as transmissible as unvaccinated cases.”
If you scroll further down, you will come to slide #22 titled Summary. The third bullet point reads: “Breakthrough infections may be as transmissible as unvaccinated cases.”
This clearly shows that CDC officials have been aware at least since July that the Delta variant – which is the prevalent strain in the United States – infects the vaccinated as much as it does unvaccinated.
4,115 Fully Vaccinated Have Been Hospitalized or Died with Breakthrough COVID Infections, CDC Says
And yet top US health experts still keep claiming that Covid is a “pandemic of the unvaccinated.” This claim has been echoed by politicians and mainstream media.
This has been duly noted by the Associated Press in its September report: “This summer’s coronavirus resurgence has been labelled a “pandemic of the unvaccinated” by government officials from President Joe Biden on down.”
Amazingly enough, Dr. Rochelle Walensky, who serves as director of the very agency that produced the above referenced report, used the phrase “a pandemic of the unvaccinated” during a White House briefing in the third week of July even as the report was being completed.
A couple of weeks later, however, she made a stunning admission during a CNN interview with Wolf Blitzer on his program called The Situation Room. Referring to the vaccines that are being currently administered to millions of people wordwide, Walensky said: “[w]hat they can’t do anymore is to prevent transmission.”
Can you grasp the implication of this: the vaccines no longer prevent transmission of the virus that causes Covid-19.
The question, then, becomes: If the vaccines do not prevent transmission, how can this be a “pandemic of the unvaccinated.”
Both cannot be true at the same time. In other words, it cannot be true that vaccines fail to prevent transmission and that this is a pandemic of the unvaccinated.
The data clearly shows the truth of the former. Therefore, the claim of a “pandemic of the unvaccinated” is false.
This fact, however, does little to deter Dr Anthony Fauci and other high-level officials from spreading this lie in public. Earlier this month, Dr. Fauci, who is commonly described as the nation’s top infectious diseases expert, repeated the claim of the “pandemic of the unvaccinated” in an interview with National Public Radio.
What these so-called experts are saying is simply not true and they must know it, because they have data at their disposal that shows otherwise.
How can this be a pandemic of the unvaccinated when the vaccinated are getting infected and pass their infection at the same – if not higher rates – than those who have not been vaccinated?
In the article titled “The Vaccines Do Not Stop Severe Covid or Death” we cite facts and data to show not only that the vaccinated are getting infected at high rates, but that they also comprise the majority of those who are falling seriously ill with and perishing of Covid in countries with robust vaccination drives.
If this were a “pandemic of the unvaccinated,” it would be the unvaccinated who would be getting infected and dying in overwhelming numbers. This, however, is demonstrably not the case.
The allegation that this is a “pandemic of the unvaccinated” is flagrant lie, which flies in the face of numbers and facts.
It is as regrettable as it is disturbing that this lie is being propagated by our country’s top health officials. These people must know the truth and yet they choose to disseminate falsehoods about the pandemic.
The propagators of this lie must be called out and held responsible for their acts of deliberate deception. It is people like Dr. Rochelle Walensky and Dr. Anthony Fauci who are the super spreaders of misinformation regarding this pandemic.
In times such as this we need accurate information and guidance from our public health officials so that we can take effective steps to deal with this difficult situation. Propagation of gross falsehoods will only diminish public faith in our nation’s health agencies and sow more confusion which will give rise to misguided actions and prolongation of this crisis.
