My friends, especially in the US who are witnessing first hand the crumbling of a system that kept a nation intact. This was a rickety, sloppy system which was built on a solid foundation, but quickly cut corners of ethical code to serve a few at the expense of the many.We should be thankful that the curtain has been pulled back to reveal the skeleton of the old regime — emaciated and starving, weak, selfish and confused. We can now see in plain view what has been suspected all along, or heard through low grumblings, or in the echoes of shouting reverberating through the mountains. The system is broken, rigged against the common person, and promises the world while only delivering suffering. A game was created where you could lose as soon as you were born, depending only on the circumstances of those who brought you into the world. It was a game of lessons, one to show that hard work bring riches, another to show that hard work brings deep, personal and generational pain. Both lessons being obscured by consumerism and technology which became fast fashion religion. We were taught to find ourselves in a system which lauds authenticity, but only if it's profitable and socially acceptable.Our survival instincts were hijacked to serve others, not out of genuine care and compassion, but because our brains were hacked by scores of teams of experts trained in that one task: to buy a product or service, and to make us drool for whatever they parade in front of us like a dog responding to Pavlov's bell.This is a time to be thankful that that beast that controlled our lives from the shadows of deceit finally shows its face. And it is a weak and mewling facimile of the Goliath it convinced us it was. It is powerless without its victims and slaves to defend and conceal it.Out from out of the punky underbrush springs forth a new system of change. Made with a stronger constitution from being trampled on and whipped around by the elements, like how a tree which survives outside in the weather stands stronger than one bred inside, in general comfort and ignorance to the world.This is a time to give thanks because as the old world burns, it will be new leadership that emerges from the smoldering wreck. It will be a new sense of purpose to the meek and the nobodies. It will be a reason for those told to keep their heads down through life to look up, eyes ignited with a new passion, and proclaim that they will now face their future with their chins held high with hope and determination.This is a time to give thanks to the true rebels and patriots around us and within ourselves. We are very much at war. But through living with our hearts and minds instead of fear and complacency, it's a war that we can, and will, win.To those who are buckling under the uncertainty of our times — do not fear. This too shall pass. We must wait for the snake to shed its skin. We will be there on the other end, crying tears of joy that the suffering of our entire lives as well as millions to billions of others will not have been in vain. We will be free, and that freedom will come with a catch. We must first learn how to be free. We must then teach others how to do the same. Always, through peace, love and understanding.Thank you for reading. I offer my deepest blessings to all who are going through this trying time.
