Why is it that humans are so arrogant to think we understand it all? Science. Science. Science… doesn’t know shit. It cannot even begin to explain the complexities of consciousness. This lack of vision, understanding and acceptance of things that cannot be explained by “science” is exactly why we are in this mess.
Science zealots are as bad (if not worse) than many religious zealots. Just as judgmental, just as dismissive to anything that does not agree with their dogma (and yes, it IS dogma) and just as willing to round up outsiders and put them into camps.
I am so tired of everyone yelling and no one listening. Why is it not seen or understood this is exactly the plan?
Division.
Yes. There is a war right now. Not with guns, but with propaganda, words and energy. This is psychological warfare —a war on consciousness— and it is being played out on the masses. The majority of the western world’s population is playing right into it.
Even my beloved Lefty.
Yes, Lefty. This is a ‘Dear John’ letter to you. I hope there are no hard feelings, but I am breaking up with you.
We’ve had a good run, with peace and freedom on our backs, blissfully running through life, exploring new ideas and places. Trying new things and even bending laws. But, your ideas have changed and I am afraid we are on different paths now.
You are becoming more and more controlling — ironically, the very thing I thought we were fighting together. I want my freedom. I want to run in the grass, hair flowing, breathing freely and making choices for myself. Somewhere along the way we got sidetracked and you now view this behavior as —not free— but —selfish.
You’ve become rigid. You suddenly do not want discourse or conversation, but agreement on all things. If someone does not agree with you, they aren’t our friends any more and you don’t even want them to come to our favorite places. How did I miss this? When was the shift? How did I let it get to this point?
At any rate, it is clear to me now that we need to part ways, not in a divisive way — but amicable. I still love and respect the ideals we built our relationship on, I just can no longer be associated with this new direction you’ve taken.
I will miss the good times we had together. Protesting the Gulf War; exposing the atrocities of the Vietnam War; questioning governmental motives; digging into what really happened on 9/11; marching for civil liberties; boycotting big businesses like Walmart and other destructive corporations; recycling; exploring alternative healing and not blindly trusting pharmaceutical (big business) companies; recognizing and exposing the connection between government and money; And —of course— experimenting with drugs.
Oh what grand, free times!
By the way, don’t even THINK for a second I am running to Right. Right is just as rigid and controlling as you’ve become. I think I will just be myself from now on. I really do not need to be a part of some political union any longer. I am my own woman now. I appreciate what I learned from you, but I am moving on. Anarchy seems pretty cool — maybe I’ll hang out there a while. Not sure though, like I said… I am free. Floating like a butterfly from place to place; learning and growing and doing all I can before my time here is done.
I’ve just got to be me.
Please allow me to go without a fuss, without judgement and without that cocky attitude you’ve been sporting lately.
You are not always correct.
I wonder if you ever were…
Good luck to you Lefty. I hope and pray you will reconnect with your true self and find your bliss. Going around and pointing fingers at everyone else will only make you sour.
Peace and Love

Going back over your posts, this one now really resonates. I couldn't agree with you more. And what you say is even more obvious these days than it was when you first wrote this, Veronica. Yet, many still don't see the forest for the trees. There have been 'scientific tests'', that prove those who are most susceptible to being entrapped by lies and illusion are those who are most educated. The theory is, because they have come to trust existing structures so profoundly that they don't question their authority or truthfulness. Historically, this has been trackable as well. Interesting, isn't it?
Thanks for writing such powerful stuff in the midst of soul-baring.
