People need to be responsible for their journey and their own well being. We need the truth and you’re only giving the tip of the iceberg. There’s much much more truth to be learned. I’m very glad that I know some truths despite it being a lonely life. Being insulted and labeled a conspiracy theorist is annoying but has become a compliment. Its quite amazing how far away I’ve separated from the collective. I mean I live in this world but losing interest in being this world. We’re here to learn and sometimes growing is painful. Thanks for your truths.
Hey my brother! I awoke this beautiful morning with my repeated thought: there is no certainty and relax with it. Bringing darkness into the light is a great step to take. Your previous essay articulating tools to help my busy mind to focus- deductive thinking comes much easier for me, inductive- have to work harder at.
You’ve made our world a bit more beautiful with your words :)
A favorite Leonard Cohen song: there’s a crack, a crack in everything- that’s where the light gets in …
“You have to kick at the darkness until it bleeds daylight!”
Lyrics from one of my favorite songs, “Lovers in a Dangerous Time,” sung by Bruce Cockburn!
Duality is a bitch! Letting go of it is not easy and I vacillate between not worrying about it, it will all work out in the end and what WEF wanker do I want to strangle the most at this moment!!!
Possibly one of the most beautiful things written here. Oh my how the treasure is deep. God sketch through merry pencil. Thankyou God. Via Ray as always shining. I hope it’s okay to share
Ray, I would also add that all of this bad news is far better coming out into the open...than if it kept creeping along like it has been for 100+ years with compound interest, with rights eroded, lives shortened, control tightened, freedom shrinking, children harmed, corruption soaring, and so forth.
The fact that so much incredible death, corruption, hubris, and ugliness is revealed means we are ready to stop it. We are ready to wake up and stop clinging to our executioners. We are ready to starting critical thinking and using our hearts like never before.
We wouldn't be opening ourselves to the hard truths of our surroundings (however horrifying) if we weren't ready to choose life and fix it.
Poignant, and thought-provoking. These are the words i choose to describe the calling of those who dare brave the darkness. By walking in it, and, in so doing, selflessly reach the tunnel’s end. Seeing a crack where the light gets in( to quote the late Leonard Cohen). And if it should darken so as to be invisible to the eye, holding the faith in its eternal presence empowers the seeker to maintain the course despite obstacles of evil. And break open the crack into a sunburst of light and truth.
bible... dont curse the darkness turn on the light ... darkness is an absence of light....
Thanks Ray.
You are a light shining in the darkness. Keep that light alive for more folk to see please. Thank you.
I'm reminded of the Doors line, "No one gets out of here alive".

I'd settle for you telling truth instead of bullshit.
Thank you. Woke up in the middle of the night with a sick dog. Needed a positive note to start with, and hopefully the vet can work another miracle.

Keep up the good work and fine writing Ray!
Ray, are you still there?
This writing does not sound like Ray.
For one thing he doesn't like people who say *you* in a telling people what they will think way.
Bravo, my friend. Please do this more often. :)

Growing up, I somehow knew it would 'go bad'. Young, not Christian.
And here we are but I was wrong because it didn't ALL go bad.
Increasingly? Yes. More extinctions? Yes.
I grew up hearing and seeing beautiful song birds in the suburbs of Toronto. Gone.
But there's crows and some hawks, squirrels, racoons(problematic).
And still trees and flowers. Not ALL gone, not yet.
There's still lots of beautiful music, extremely talented people,
still places to look at.
Helping others as wished remains a delight and if others can
help me, also good.
As you said, Ray, Uncertainty! Which way will Charles III go?
I studied his past. Why was he basically ignored, rejected by his family? Very talented man. Always loved Camilla.
I like them, hope they find happiness.
As one man said, what if Joe was right that Hunter is
'the smartest man' he ever knew in...scam schemes.
Will they EVER catch Hillary, Joe etc?
Will Joe get his wish to force Putin to zap America while
Joe resides in his nice condo in that underground city?
No one gets out of here alive...anyway, not bodily.
I don't say this because of my belief, either.
I love God, but that's my reason for wanting His gift.
Never throw away love.
As my mate and I say, 'It's amazing it's as good as it is'.
We seek and 'walk into the light'.
