Alex, Learned more from just watching your videos in past 6 months than my past 30+ years of education. A simple thanks wouldn’t be suffice. Wishing you a long, prosperous and happy life. Greetings from India. I wish more people watch you and get enlightened.

Excellent article. Bizarrely, covid, the scam of all scams, has turned my life around for the better. Losing my business and house in Spain and having to move back to very rural west Ireland, my family and I have been reborn.

The absolute absurdism of that time totally changed my thought process and my strategy on life and living. Opening my heart and mind to god and nature is all I did. Freedom to me means not being in debt to a bank or a drug, eating the best nature has to offer, drinking cold water after boiling it, never listening to or reading the media, talking to my wife and kids about life and love everyday.

I'm saddened by the amount of people who think the solution is to leave the beautiful USA. The problem is global because the problem is the globalists who wish to control the world. It isn't that hard to know the names of the .0001% who hold the power. But what I see around me now are people who continue to abide by their rules and think voting for the next leader is the answer. I don't have the answers, but I think we need to reject the idea that anyone is coming to save us. We need to stop looking to the rich and powerful for answers. They are false idols. We need to hold them accountable for the harm they cause.

Yes, Tina, I agree. Running away to another country - often to live a richer life materially where their dollar goes further - doesn't sit all that well with me. I can see moving out of the city to a rural or isolated area, but one must consider making a living, even a humble one. I think the secret is not only finding a community of like minded thinkers but actively contributing to it.

Sure, immersing oneself in other cultures is enriching in spirit and mind as well as monetarily. I only meant that I hate for Americans to throw in the towel and give up on being our best selves right here at home. We can't let the bastards win.

Spot on Alex. “Left” and “Right” are the preoccupations of the battery-farmed. The actual distinction is only between the Control Freaks and the Free-Rangers.

You hit the nail on the head. Thanks for this idea. It is overwhelming how totally western populations have been brainwashed into believing the lies of the mainstream media. I think your analogy speaks to the reality of modern human life in industrialized urban centers. We have been removed from the land which is the source of the magic of life. The logic that emanates from this insulated existence creates the vulnerability we have that leads to adopting the false notions fed to us in the all encompassing media surrounding us. I would add that the religions now dominating civilizations globally add to this vulnerability. If you can believe in an all powerful male god in the sky, why not believe in the world of the chicken coop?

Paul, Thank you for articulating what I would write if I were a better writer. You speak for me, and I imagine - for many.

"Particularly for Westerners, the idea that living could be good and enjoyable in some of the backwards, or inferior places scattered beyond the golden West is so alien, it doesn’t even compute. "

I found out that the lie of the Good Life only in the West was a lie. I lived in Thailand for 8 years, and we are going back. The west is doomed.

Granted in many countries such as Thailand social services are scarce and is user pays but people don't pay much in tax, however in the West the services are reduced every year while the taxes are increased.

We all need to return to a simpler, relaxed lifestyle.

Which part of Thailand do you prefer? I want a place free of high humidity, bugs, lizards and snakes :-)

I've lived in Thailand and loved the lushness. But it was hard to get used to the critters.

Wildlife is everywhere in Thailand. Even in a penthouse a'ment in Bkk you'll get insects and lizards.

I can't handle humidity anymore, so have a hard time choosing a preference. But that's why a/c was invented :)

I recently watched a YouTube program, presented by a German master astrologist, Dr Christoph Niederwieser. He said, we are entering in the 2020-ties an entire new planetary constellation, which is unique in its potential for deep change. The age of Aquarius.

The books which inspired me most in my life (which I red thirty years ago and still appreciate), are written by the Russian author Pjotr Ouspensky during the 1940-ties: "The Psychology of the Possible Evolution of Men" and "In Search Of the Miraculous".

Thereby is said, that four states of consciousness are available for men:

1. The sleep.

2. The state after we supposedly wake up and live our lives. He called it the illusion of being woken.

3. The state of Meditation: witnessing the present moment: our true reality, our birthright state of mind.

4. Observing the objective truth: living blissfully & permanently in the third state.

When we enter the third state of consciousness, there are no thoughts, because all our thoughts are related to the past as a remembrance, or to the future as a projection. Both, nor the past or the future, are our reality.

He introduced an active sort of meditation, called 'Selfremembering' or 'Divided Attention'.

Thus, we can practice Selfremembering in any action or activity in life. And what's stunning, after some months of doing so, one realises, that 90% of our problems are just in our heads. And: one don't needs any intelligence in order to avoid unpleasant situations: even an one-cell-creature tries to escape unpleasant surroundings.

We get straightforward uninterested in bullshit jobs or relationships. Or in ugly or unharmonious surroundings.

Because if we are emotionally present to the actual moment, our intuition suggests us immediately to stay, to act or to leave.

It's genius.

After I started practicing Selfremembering during my Psychology study in the 1980-ties, I had to quit my university career, because it felt shallow and pale. So I learnt being a carpenter, opened my own business and moved back to rural Croatia.

Every evening I come home tired, dusty, sweaty, enjoying the first cold beer, having dinner together with my lovely wife on the porch if our self made wooden house.

Bingo.

Thanks Alex. That's the obvious analogy, sadly...

I have moved around as a military brat during the Vietnam War, went to high school in Japan and also rural Texas, and have bike toured and back-packed with my family around the world.

We are human animals with certain human needs, which are not well met in out fancy zoo, with our chemically processed, but lifeless feedstocks, and abnormal patterns of life, so constrained, not engaging other plant and animal, or even human life.

Meeting our core human needs first, allows us to do other, specialized things, but we have become like caged chickens pecking click-boxes on screens for small, prompt rewards.

(Pula, Croatia was a very nice visit on our world-tour, and we did some scuba there. Croations seemed easy to engage, humanly efficient at tasks, and not stuck-up. I would never dis. Yugoslavia, myself.)

I love your work Alex, but remember that 'nature is red in tooth and claw', that big fish eat smaller ones etc. The human drive for power, wealth or whatever, fits right into this natural order, unless tempered by 'civilization', ethics, religious faith, law, fear, or whatever again. We have managed to selectively 'breed' by rewarding the limiting factors right out of our time, and are stuck with the consequences, - unless we somehow manage to selectively 'breed' them in again. The people and powers that prospered in the 'matrix of greed' will hardly support such 'reverse selection' to a 'matrix of self-moderation', so how do we get there?

Alex, thank you so much for continuing to share the you that resonates here. Your knowledge, heart and deliverance style is always appreciated. Yes, there seems to be many grander cycles that are relatively converging at this time. The one I've lived for over 2 decades and know of is the human design system ... living from an inner authority that allows for a correct & specific trajectory in life. The collective cycle we are leaving is called the cross (not religious) of planning which has been with us ~400 years and was here to support all the structures and institutions that supported the population growth. Such institutions as medicine, politics, education, food/farming, industry, government, financial, the history we were 'taught' . . . even the concept of time can feel to fall away and shift. In early 2027 the cross of planning closes its door. It may or may not be experienced as a shut on an individual bases, after all 400 years of planning & building is more likely a slow demo and it will affect every aspect of most peoples lives. It's not to be feared its just what the global background frequency of this realm does as it transits. The cross of the sleeping phoenix beginning in 2027 will be quite different. This is about individualism, survival (as each person defines and creates that) self empowerment and an abundance of spirit. I see on the daily so much spirit rising in more and more individuals. There are those who know about this transition of course, people or ? who seem to be taking advantage of this last opportunity, who have plans to set their structures/controls in place before 2027. I see how the collective is being emotionally pushed & pulled via tribal behavior to further their plans. It's ultimately up to each individual to live from their inner authority & decondition from the institutions so they can experience the specific trajectory of their life with awareness and even awe. I'm here to support those for which this resonates back to themselves during this transition ~
