Can We Escape The Next 'Wave'?

Where do I want to be for the next 'wave'?

I've been thinking about this. That I am in a  country which is frozen for 6 months of the year and therefor of dependence. The announced, next 'wave' is scheduled to begin in the fall and would most likely be stretched through until spring; I'm not really liking that idea.

So where to go? Where is there going to be some semblance of 'freedom'? Where can I grow food and buy local produce direct from the producer year round? Where will people not be living in fear of each other but instead coming together to provide what is needed? Where can a community form which can stand as a stronghold for those which want to opt out of this madness?

Buckminster Fuller said, and I paraphrase, that "You can't tell people what it is wrong, you have to show them a better way by building it". That is what we, as an 'awakening' community has failed to do over the last decades. Through no fault but our own, we have divided ourselves into small, distanced groups and individuals which fight to be heard and to be right while trying to 'pay the bills'. Perhaps we were not 'looking' for a 'hero' but somewhere inside believed it might be 'me' which finds that magic 'switch' which makes people wake up.

Yes, we may have fallen 'prey' to many a rabbit hole but in the end the responsibility remains at self to stay or move on. Sure there is a slew of 'controlled opposition' but that term was 'weaponized' against our awareness to separate us from guidance; there always seemed be a 'caution' in the way we 'interacted', a deep laying suspicion towards 'anyone'. We sure built a lot of ''echo chambers' though during this wild run, too bad most were echoing opposing opinions which may or may not be ours to begin with. Part of our 'base' programming is that of division based on fear and a capitulation to the  ego.

The first thing to have been dealt with was how efficient and ingrained the 'programming' really is and that we are not exempt from it; the programmed ego has played a great part in arriving at where we are now. Even through our 'rebellion', we adhered to our 'way of life' and were careful not to rock the boat too much lest we tip over the apple cart (that was a fun write); we feared making a change which would affect us greatly and disrupt our 'lives'. I get it, self preservation; "what if...".

Through 'cognitive dissonance' (we sure liked to use that term), preformed biases and a failure in admitting wrong, we became the 'mass debaters' (inference intended) which never really learned anything except how to tear each other down. That term was later changed to 'debunkers' to garner acceptance by the masses. Now they use our tactics against our very information.

Let's just say, in all honesty, that we could have done better. I reached out to many over the years and learned that a conversation needs to have two sides: listening and speaking and that it must also flow instead of remaining stagnant with the same circular arguments.

So really, if there was a place to go to, would anyone show up? Has this been about all talk and no action? Are we all just waiting for an honorable mention in the history books? Are we too afraid to take that next step and not yet afraid enough of what may be coming down the pipe? Do we fear our fellow human being more than our governments?

If we are ready to be better people, then firstly we must admit we need bettering. What I have been doing has been observing and writing as it came out. An explosion here and there and as you can see, now.

So does such a place exist? Is there a country remaining which would not interfere in the building of a whole new paradigm? Is there such a place as a 'safe zone' on this planet or have all the bases been covered? Are we to fight this all on an individual level as they come for us one by one in our 'lockdowns'?

Is it too late? Do we throw in the towel and admit defeat? Do we simply chronicle the events about to unfold for a 'history' that may not remember us? For why would the 'winner' want such a 'record' of dissent? Those which will have gone will never have existed in the annals of 'history', how many generations do you think that would take? I figure that the best case scenario for humanity is Chinese style living across all western nations by 2030 with a much younger population; think of the 'waves' of fear possible in the coming years.

I am watching and waiting to see where this goes. If you have any ideas, please let me know.
