Not from or in the US, so surprised to hear you say that you’re not “well-liked among the ‘spiritual community’.” Can’t help but wonder what is this community you’re talking about. I’d never heard of Teal Swan either. I come from the holistic health world, so it was great to see so many conventional medical doctors waking up to the truth post-covid especially. It was through my own interests at the start of covid that led me to various substacks and X accounts from which I learned about so many other things going on which I wouldn’t have known otherwise.

Sometimes I think it occupies too much of my mind. I know so many people who don’t have a clue about many of these things. The kind of ups and downs we experience at a global level have always been there throughout history, and to varying degrees. The difference now is that communication is so speeded up that it takes on a new intensity. But I often wonder – do we have to take on that intensity?

Very true. One has to recognize that most of the "resources" are not renewable. Some can be, like soil, but it takes a long time. Sunlight, air, and water will always be there, as long as we don't pollute too much. But metals, plastic, etc., will eventually be consumed. Then the world has to operate as a zero-sum game because there isn't enough food. There is always a place for me to stand but only in the desert. To avoid the pressure of the zero-sum game, humans as a whole must consume much less than what we are using now. Empires have to invade other countries to loot and exploit such that citizens of the empires can live a good life at an affordable cost. If there is only peace on earth, then most of us have to toil all day to get some minimal comfort. Instead of peaceful cooperation and coexistence, there will always be someone who chooses to loot. The looters may be beaten for a day, but THEY WILL BE BACK.
