I have been thinking a lot about the Democrat and Republican divide. Those in control are pulling these emotional levers to keep us distracted and fighting each other.
I think we need to respect each other for our spiritual beliefs. And our cultural differences. I am a former Democrat as of a few months ago yet I am not any party at this point either. I think there is an assumption out there that vaccines are a republican issue. It is just another way to divide us.
I have a Ph.D. and believe in science and education. However, science is dead. It has been replaced by scientism and arrogant political activism based on bizarre ideologies, contempt for any objective truth, and pursuit of money and power. The COVID hysteria has drawn back the curtain. At the core is the corruption of our educational system, funded by the taxpayers. Until this is corrected, we are doomed.
Education has become totalitarian indoctrination. Drunk with money, power, and lack of accountability, educators from kindergarten through the university level are out of control. They are free to peddle any toxic nonsense they "feel" like, violate the bill of rights, and burden teenagers with crushing lifelong debt to get university degrees. There are exceptions, but they are afraid to speak out or are ignored and vilified.
Abolish government-run schools. Provide vouchers for parents to send their children to private charter schools that must compete for students based on academic excellence and student success. Require cameras and microphones in all classes so parents can remotely sit in on classes at will to see what is being taught to their vulnerable children. Empower unelected volunteer citizen review boards to oversee curricula and express their opinions. The images of school boards having parents arrested for speaking out are appalling. Abolish the useless federal Department of Education.
The bloated university system's power, corruption, complexity, and cozy relationship with government bureaucrats and big business lobbying and money are mind-boggling. It will require decades of fearless tenacity to unravel and repair. It must be made a priority. Genuine reform would collapse many worthless university programs and departments and force fat cat professors to find honest work. This will be fiercely resisted. Universities have managed to inflate their often worthless degrees as "must have" credentials and established themselves as essential social networks for the top 5%. The top 5% can network all they want, but this should not be funded by the average working American they look down on with contempt.
Some ideas are: Abolish tenure. Defund the universities. Instead, provide limited, modest vouchers directly to students who want to pursue education, apprenticeships, or internships beyond high school. Government funding of research must be rigorously reviewed by outside committees other than just "pal review" by cronies getting the same money from the same corrupt bureaucrats. Hold professors and researchers accountable for lying and cooking data to bolster their careers, egos, power, and pet theories and have no relation to reality.
The Permaculture movement has a principle of favouring the biological over the technical and working with rather than against nature. It is not a rejection of innovation or technology but an acknowledgement that nature always has the last word and true humility in this world acknowledges our dependence. We are Nature.
Great idea! Just on the subject of truth, however, I’m afraid we are really really broken. As the great philosopher and critic of authoritarianism, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, wrote decades ago:
Beautiful Toby. I would add respect for all medicinal\healing philosophies. After all, much of what we practice today in allopathic medicine is theoretical, yet arrogance within the community, especially today, does not recognize that fact. Ayurvedic medicine, Traditional Chinese medicine, native medicine, functional and naturopathic to name a few all deserve respect!
Excellent observations and consolidation of active principle. To break these down on even more basic tenets: 1) Live with integrity from truth and love, 2) Connect with respect with authentic and unique others and learn from them, 3) Unplug from all unholy forces, 4) Hold ground when fanatical, deluded forces threaten to sweep the earth, 5) Create a parallel creative and healthy world to emerge and replace the corrupt and dying one.
Really great list. Maybe this goes with #4, but I would include something about honoring the canaries in the coal mine--those who were harmed before, and whose suffering has allowed many of us living now to sidestep the land mines. I know my child would not be the healthy teen she is today if I had not learned from warrior moms whose kids were harmed because they were unaware of the corruption and the lies.
Your list is excellent as a satyagraha priority list. I think it's important to review it once in a while and stay on track. Hold the line, and never ever give in to mandates or even polite requests to wear a mask. Your need to breathe freely must take precedence over others' fear.
Medical freedom is and has been the most important issue of our lifetimes. I think this list shows the strategy that has the best chance of winning ultimately.
Hi Toby! I love reading your work and appreciate you putting form to the tendrils of the health freedom movement. As a freedom lover, an interfaith minister and someone who identifies with neither party, it's clear to me that our decaying health, religious and political institutions cannot be reformed.
A philosophy that is truly universal and based on the type of principles you've set down appeals to the core truth within good, well-intentioned people. It's meaningful, yet neutral enough to attract many who would help us create a parallel society that can sustain us while the powers-that-shouldn't-be destroy themselves.
What about respect for innate intelligence/wisdom?
Why do we need to complicate/codify everything? Isn't this incessant need to control everything, dominate, judge and destroy everything, what got us in this mess in the first place?
We each have innate wisdom/body intelligence within us and when we are within nature, or detoxified from all the rubbish we layer upon society- chemical, physical, emotional, mental. When we start to remove that, we come back to an innate clarity , which lets us be our true selves and make compassionate decisions/actions. I think this bureaucratic apocalyptic dystopia we are currently living is a reflection of our desperate innate need to trust and stop trying to control the uncontrollable. Nature gonna nature, virus gonna virus. And for all the depth we currently know about virology, epidemiology and microbiology, who's to say that nature is not upgrading or evolving us through the virome. Just because we can't understand it, doesn't make it scary or bad. This global fear, if left unchecked, is going to inflame the whole halobiome. Energy such as emotion, has quantum physical impacts. We have no idea if all this fear porn is having a negative effect on the microbes, fungi, bacteria, animals on this planet that we have evolved with.
I think when we try to codify, control, bureaucratise our behaviour, we are doing our innate wisdom a disservice and don't allow our halobiome to evolve.
You make good points, and #10 on the list is something very relevant to me. These toxic mimics poison our minds and souls on a daily basis. It takes so much strength sometimes not to buy into the lies that are constantly being sold to us.
I think the core of a movement for bodily autonomy should be centered on the individual. Central to the public health appeal and clearly understood by the virtue signaling public is the concept that you must be vaccinated for the good of society. Even as the vaccines have increasingly been shown to lack any ability to actually protect the collective health of the public, this demand to sacrifice for the greater good persists.
I reject all such appeals. The good of the group should be understood as comprising only of the good of each individual-- as measured by themselves. No authority can blithely assign the sacrifice of a child's health to protect a senior or vice versa, because the good or ill of such decisions is borne by the individual. Human life is not reducible to a metric and cannot be traded from one spreadsheet column to the next.
I want such a general awareness of the evil of demanding the sacrifice of some for the sake of others to exist that virtue signaling social media posts demanding it are met with universal revulsion. I want those who demands we vaccinate the children to protect the adults to be laughed out of any position of authority.
The task is simply to restore the primacy of the individual as the core of our system of rights and values. No demands on others, no mandates-- a voluntary society where we choose or choose not as our own conscience dictates.
Good morning Toby, 😊 what a wonderful read, and it really got me thinking on what I consider to be an important topic - how to overcome the many terrifying heads of the modern day Medusa- big pharma, big tech, so called 'elites' (we should really deconstruct what this adjective means in real terms i.e corrupt, perverse, anti-rule of of law-perhaps elite arseholes?)
In relation to the Satyagraha, I'm a huge fan of law and order, the integrity of the public office and for those people that have the privilege to hold this position to be at the core of how it MUST function. We all know instinctively the difference when someone functions with integrity and doesnt twist facts to create spin in order to manipulate.
The question I ask myself is this: Do people gemerally understand what integrity really means, or how to embody this principle in our person? You could call it love, but I like to say specifically integrity. To be be uncorrupted. Integrity is what protects us from falling into 'sin' and to keep our hearts clean. To guard our heart and mind from harm.
Backdrop of now:
The 'elites' have zero integrity and have completely usurped law and order where we the people are forced to live in a corrupted anarchy -one that has been socially engineered for us by them and executed by their political minions. Consequently we are thrown into literal chaos, losing jobs, bodily autonomy, privacy and freedom as we knew it, as it has all disintegrated before our very eyes. What did it take to be able to do this?What else has been destroyed in this process?
So satyagraha -truth telling may help those who have fallen under some strange psychosis. Let's hope!
This article confirms social quantum entanglement has already begun! I’ve been practicing these over the past year. While I’m not a churchgoer, I have been meditating every morning after lighting a small white candle. During my thanks for the positive that we still have in our lives, I thank all those past and present who have helped retain earthly peace, truth, love. Gandhi is always part of that thank you. Spreading this mindset is essential to a new way of being, to a new world. Thank you, Toby, for so eloquently expressing this inevitable future.
Love is key and I missed from the list, until I re-read and found point 11. Maybe moved up to point 1. :-)
Another way to say it is "Act in kindness. Think in love".
Fear is one of Big Pharma and DS main weapons. It is how they manipulated billions into this pandemic craziness and now the jabs. Love conquers fear. We need to avoid things that make us feel afraid (eg MSM negative news 24/7, social media pings) and embrace that which promotes love (eg nature time, digital detox, extra sleep, exercise, laughter)
on "9. Actual science" edit to "9. Actual science always asks questions".
I think there is a point about "Truth in Education and kindness towards kids" that could be added, as much of this war has been fought in the schools.
Add "Listen both to your intuition and your mind/logic".

I believe this war come from the Devil, and even if you don't believe such a being exists, certainly some very evil people have been pushing it for decades. It is just more obvious now and they are more desperate in their actions as they loose the war. Evil loves to use deception, manipulation and even outright lies in its plans. It is not good with straightforward truth and crumbles in the light of truth and love.
Evil can manipulate more easily in big hierarchies such as most big organizations (govt, education, fortune 1000, big hospital systems, legal, media, militiary etc). Because it only need to corrupt and capture the top people.
We are much stronger in more flat or circular organizations where all member share power. That operate locally and not centrally.
And in retaking control of our society, action at the local level is winning. Retaking school boards from those who would mask and jab our kids. Local elections. Local flash mob protests. Supporting small local businesses and farmers who buck the evil system.
