Tolkien’s epic series that begins in The Hobbit was divinely inspired. Of that I have no doubt. Since the whole covid debacle began, I have often had passages leap into my mind as a counter to the evil narrative which surrounds us. It goes to show the power of words.

Our enemies are well aware of that too, and have successfully enslaved many unthinking souls into their evil control matrix with theirs. But the truth is always more powerful than the lie. And I believe with my whole being that a way through all the lies and deceptions and evil is there. When the time is right, we will find discover it was there all along and seize the means of our freedom en masse.

God bless you, my dear. I’m very grateful for your substack and your words of beauty and truth. They remind me of the true nature of our battle and help build up my fortitude for the days ahead.

Another fantastic breakfast of words that require thoughtful chewing and digestion. You epitomize the role of Elder in this culture that has forgotten what wisdom looks like, having replaced Elder wisdom with "authority" celebrities. Yet slowly, I see people reaching out for true wisdom, looking for and finding sages such as yourself, who know the world intimately because you walked the earth and met the people and shared with them. Your words with each essay ripple out into the world, reminding us that we are on the brink of choosing our species future - one where we stay adolescents for life, giving over our authority to others to tell us how to live, or one that is, as you say, messy, chaotic, beautiful, heartbreaking, awe-inspiring and ultimately, human.
