I know you are but what am I

 


Remember way back to your childhood and someone would call you a name so you would reply back "I know you are but what am I" and repeat, repeat until anyone around would chorus it along with you, or is it just me? It goes along with "I'm rubber and you're glue" and "Sticks and stones can break my bones but words can never hurt me". I've hinted at this concept over the years in my writings, you can check here and here.

I have seen a lot of this sort of childish behavior over the years, going all the way back to 2002. What with anti-(I just want to put a dot, dot, dot here) racists being racists, anti-fascists being fascists, the MSM providing the 'fact checking', free speech advocates condoning censorship, neighbors tattling on their neighbors, the raging belligerence which occurs where open discussion should reside, the bickering, the segregating, the gossip; it just goes on and on (hmm sounds familiar).

At what point do we ask ourselves: "Are these the actions of an adult"?

Do you think that the 'Karens' of this ordeal are acting, in any way, like adults? Of course that is but one example using a popular meme but to really get it, one has to see themselves and how they 'react' like a child at times (or often) and grow past such behavior. Most seem to take offense at what is demonstrably true, especially if they can relate it to something about themselves.

The way in which we consume is in large, childish. We 'want' what we see and many times, are presented; like a child; because all of those people lined up, for days at times, in order to receive the latest iteration of what they already own is adult, right? Don't assume anything specific when I say presented because there are many ways to 'present' an idea, or say, an agenda.

One of the best mind tricks out there is to have people believing in something so much that they think it is their idea. Another which works well, is to get them to believe that they have 'power' or 'control' in the actions which you desire.

If the last two years proved anything, it is how manipulable the human mind really is.

So as we begin the third year of "fifteen days to flatten the curve", the many still won't get it. They live life for "how I feel in the moment" which is emotional and reactive; retarded to the level of children with all of their inherent selfishness. Many are about to find out that life doesn't really care how you 'feel' in the moment.

What do we have but the extremists (because there is nothing more extreme than wanting to jab every human being on the planet with a mystery serum) calling those which research, question and refuse, extremists? As if that were not enough, they tell people to "not do their own research" like they are children needing protection from information. Sure, Santa is real and this is all very adult.

Have we not those which manipulate, lie and omit (working in unison) calling people which try to bring honest questions and verifiable facts to light, conspiracy theorists, disinformation / misinformation, domestic terrorists (to barely scratch the surface)? Because burying information in name calling rather than reflection and consideration is so very adult.

That is what one side is slinging with full force against those which are aware, at varying levels, of what is transpiring and where it may lead; playing "I know you are but what am I".

Now within those which are aware, there are many factions, which I first realized within this piece from 2017. Many have exited their country of birth and are forming communities within the borders of a foreign land. I foresee many differing communities such as smoking and not, vegan and not, married and not, families and not, crypto, barter, religious or not; the list is endless as tolerance and adaptability are things of the past.

How long before the 'ideals' within a 'community' are thought to be 'better' than those of the 'others'? After all, we do seem to be quite fond of trying to 'save' everything but ourselves.

As an example, we have had Vegans denouncing omnivores for years. All within a 'movement' which seems to simply spin round and round re-hashing information in an endless game of 'catch-up' and 'look at me'. You do realize that if people reflect honestly and remember who they really are, the food thing will all fall into place. And besides, how foolish it would be to believe in a 'one size fits all' kind of solution. Every one is different and therefore every path is different so I am sure that in the grand scheme of things, there is some wiggle room.

Things are going to get harsh in the next year for those which are the 'resistance', if only in their common desire to live biologically unmolested. The infighting and emotional reactions are not going to help anyone but the perpetrators of this heinous crime.

It is time to rise up and shed the programmed ego which holds most of us in perpetual childhood and grow up and become the strong individuals we were designed to be instead of fighting amongst ourselves. It is time to honestly reflect and see where we are to accept what must be done, even if that means hardship for you or your loved ones.

I don't know about the rest of you, but I have grown tired of these childish games. I am weary of fighting with loved ones which only desire to drag me down to their level. I am ready to build something forward for others to follow. I am ready for the next stage of evolution and I don't believe that it will include safeguards against bad words or safe spaces to retreat to.

We will have to fight to keep our humanity, are you ready? All it takes is the desire to truly LIVE; how frightening yet the most exciting journey one can embark on.

YOU are who humanity has been waiting for. That is my "I know you are but what am I".

I don't remember having (longterme) friend(s), didn't stay long enough in one place.

Racism... I found out what it was on my first trip outside of Canada, to a black island in the caribbeans.

"how manipulable the human mind really is", that's one way to put it. I'd add... how much humans are in need of a parent figure that tell them how to behave and that they are cared for. And as you mention "Santa", it's propably one of the first belief kids learn to live by with a "if you behave good, Santa will give you a present". Manipulated, firstly, by the close surrounding.

Yep, liked-minded communities,... small "tribes" as Broze would say. I just can't be in such "tribes" where I'd be expected to conform to the group dogma... at least that is my perception (or fear).

Talking about "recognizing" that everyone is different (and from the same mammel race)... i've noticed often people that have not lived outside of their native crowd, consider their views to be THE normality. Chatting with a mexican woman, she says "This is how man and women are in Mexico!" to which I replied "That is your belief!". She never got out of her little village... all arguments would have not made any change.

I'm not wayting for "humanity". I kept moving on. But I can imagine that the "next" humanity will be composed of the survivors that succeeded in getting out before the boat sank.

Cheers
