Thank you WHD.

A great revisit for me of the 'basics' or foundation work which is also a continuation practice begun ... omg, 40 years ago. Well put together, clear and strong. 🙏❤️🙏

Great piece, Hunter. Doing the hard psycho-spiritual work is necessary for *true ascension,* not the New (c)Age variety of feel-good fuckery. To truly ascend means to regain connection with the Divine, not through Savior Programming, but by realizing that we have all been manipulated by the wayward wizards. This is part of the acknowledgement stage which you talk about: We've been programmed over generations (ancestral trauma) into the death-cult, and must shed the harmful, unnatural beliefs and behaviors that weigh us down in the material realm. The alchemical process of which you speak is the only way to engage our body-mind-spirit complex and not to "return" but to evolve. Beautiful stuff that dismantles the false-white-light fakery with grace!

Thank you. The Great Work is not about lionizing feelings, it is about expanding consciousness to achieve the fullness of being.

Having no regrets is incompatible with life.

The point is not to have no regrets or guilt, the point is not to let such feelings debilitate you and make you even more likely to do things you will feel guilt and regret about.

I see murderers and rapists wanting to get out of prison and resume their lives. They aren't feeling debilitated by what they did. That may be because they have no conscience.

At the other end of the spectrum are overly sensitive people beating themselves up over what is an inevitable part of life. In living, you will hurt other living things. And other living things will hurt you.

All the more reason to strengthen one's self. As to violent criminals thinking they deserve to get out of jail, that has a lot to do with progressive lawlessness and the perception among sociopaths that there is more permissiveness about violence.

The number of criminals who feel they deserve to be punished has always been small. Having an individualistic mindset provides some immunity to feelings of guilt, when the source of that guilt originates from society, from the collective. Individualism comes with positive and negative attributes.

That is why empathy is so important, and also recognizing there are people who have little or no empathy.

What percentage of the population have little to no empathy?

"As you might imagine, I have some guilt/regret about being coerced into taking the Phizer double-tap. My sense of guilt about that is having fallen for it, not being more dubious and skeptical, not being stronger."

I don't understand why you would feel this way about an inconsequential decision.

Because it was a fraud, it had nothing to do with a virus, and there were great risks and no benefits. I have been a life long skeptic, I should have known better. I seem to have come out of it unharmed, though I can't be certain about that.

Otherwise, I am thriving now in my new perspective.

In terms of absolute risk, the risk was small. Like Russian Roulette, with one bullet and several thousand chambers. Most people were not harmed, and to this day don't consider their decision consequential.

What were your reasons for getting it? What form of coercion would still leave you feeling guilty?

I had not seen my parents in more than a year. I kept hearing, if you aren't all jabbed you might never see your parents again. I also did not realize how propagandized I had long been, about pandemics.

The guilt I felt is drained of it's power.
