An excellent read! Thank you brother for putting so much love into this. You describe what it means to you very well.

I do recall as it happens my first shroom experience very clearly (on a golf course at a boarding school!) and yes I remember well the feeling you describe. I understood everything I needed to understand and it was indescribably perfect. And the only way for an outsider to understand it would be to give them shrooms! So I relate to the idea that I cannot fully get it until I am involved.

No doubt if I were to come with you on a few occasions it wouldn't be long before I start to feel it too. In some ways I suppose I am a bit afraid of that, having set myself clear targets over these next few years which are already extremely time consuming. These days if something is distracting me from my goals, my knee-jerk reaction is that I shouldn't be doing it. Even the wedding I am expected to addend this weekend I find extremely hard to accept!

Your second paragraph nailed the main problem for me. Yes, I do believe we are heading towards something along the lines of mad max, though I don't think it will be as clear cut as that.

I think two worlds will exist side by side. The jabbed will enjoy the benefits of the fifth industrial revolution while the rest of us will be left to die. Or at least, that is what the elite are hoping will happen.

I hold this belief mainly because I have dedicated a lot of time over the years to understanding the world and where it is headed. Zeitgeist was the first film of many I saw which began my awakening to this reality. The agenda to depopulate is undeniable and in some ways quite logical if you put yourself in the position of the elite. Not only are an enormous number of people waking up at this time, but we are moving into the grand solar minimum which traditionally sees governments getting overthrown. They fear us and therefore needed a way to upgrade the control system (covid) before nature takes its toll to the point where the shit really hits the fan.

I am sitting outside this morning and at 9am it is so cold I must wear a jacket and shoes. In the South of France! Which is totally insane. Normally I would be sitting out here in nothing but my underwear. So, be in no doubt the gsm is here and it is happing quickly. I know you have been experiencing heat but if you look there are enormous hot & cold anomalies all over the world. The media of course only focus on the heat. Whatever the anomaly, the result is the same. Crops don't grow like they used to. Add to this to the controlled demolition of the food supply in every country and you can be sure we are in for a crazy decade.

Just yesterday Macron told us how he intends to make life difficult for the unvaccinated, starting out by banning us from various things, bars, restaurants, clubs, shopping centres. For now we can still present PCR tests as an alternative but these are no longer free and cost anything from €60 - €120 and must be updated every 2 days! In the end of course we will be barred access to our food supply if we are not vaccinated and while I do have a bunch of different plans to get us around that problem I cannot help but feel a growing sense pressure around our need to be 100% food independent. Hard to imagine how it will be any different for other countries. If you control the food you control the people.

With all of this in mind can you see why I find it hard to justify anything which isn't directly contributing towards some kind of preparation for what I believe is coming?

So it isn't to say that I don't believe good can come from protesting. From my perspective I could really use the networking & new friends which no doubt is an invaluable aspect of it! And certainly I do believe that many politicians have good intentions and indeed fight for the people (meaning they are likely responsive to activists) but they are trying to help the world by participating in a corrupt & broken system which isn't interested in the needs of the people. Humans are completely capable of governing themselves so by their very nature, laws are a ludicrous idea and what we actually need is a new system which gives us back our freedom. In ALL areas of our lives. And perhaps, once the mad max type world subsides, in certain areas we will have it.

Something else you said resonated with me:

We have to be the change, not force the change. Change ourselves, lead by example, and ripple outward from there.

Yes, I feel this strongly. And I have done my best to not only be the change but to share my experience of it in a colourful and enjoyable way so that others may benefit too. Ten years ago I was coke addict porn producer in London, so I suppose you could say the transition has been substantial.

There was a french song I posted about recently "We want to dance again" being used for flashmobs around Europe. Even today, months after the song became popular I hear people playing it loud in public places because it really touched a chord with everyone. It was creative and responsive to what is happening. It was a protest without actually being a protest and ideas like this I can really relate with. I actually have a number of covid related songs my kids and I wrote! I'm just not in the habit of posting them publicly. And way too self critical ;) Perhaps one day when I have my first school up and running in the heart of our mountain community, I will play these songs for the children as a way for them to learn about this crazy time in human history and they will teach their children. This is my energetic contribution to the cause. My way of protesting.

I do however salute you for your dedication to your preferred method and I am grateful as always for these interactions and opportunities to contemplate important issues at this time when I don't actually have physical friends. Am still working on their manifestation apparently ;)

On a happy note it is apricot season and I am up at 5am each morning doing the ninja mission on the local fields. I know ethically speaking it is wrong but my sense of urgency seems to override this and honestly, I just love doing it, which is of course the main aspect of what drives my direction in life. Tonight the dehydrator will do its thing and we will have dried apricots for years!

All the best and thanks again for taking the time with this. It is an honour to call you a friend. And I don't at all feel like you are being pushy or rude. On the contrary I sometimes worry I might appear this way to you. The respect is mutual and I look forward to our ongoing communication at this exciting time in human history!
