I sometimes wish I had remained with the deluded it seems to be the more peaceful state where no questions are asked just trust mostly everything that is being fed to you by the system. For some reason I was awakened and it remains very uncomfortable to experience all the trickery and deceit being presented daily to me. My lone walks have been life saving for me and I manage to retain my equilibrium amongst the madness. For me it has become a game of pretend with my family and friends but I am acutely aware that nothing is now normal and I live with a constant feeling of low grade trepidation for our future.

I experienced anguish continuously from mid 2020 to early 2022. It burned away much of who I knew myself to be and left in its wake a new set of values that I knew were going to be the centre of my life going forward.

In early 2022 I stopped interacting with several long term groups that had pivoted to diametrically opposed views and moved to an isolated farm, alone, deep in the bush. I embraced farm work, silence and Mother Nature as my companions and have found peace. The ascetic life isn’t for everyone but if you feel a tug in your heart to get out of dodge, listen and go. Your soul is nudging you to find life beyond the limits of the Total System. Refuse it and be open to what happens in its absence.
