(04,21,2021) Atrophy happens when one ceases to use a certain part of their body. Just as the muscles, in a limb, will atrophy if you do not use them, so too, will one’s brain! It, too, must be exercised. One keeps one’s brain active by processing the constant flow of information spewed forth during the course of one’s daily life. Just as a pond will become a stagnated cesspool without a stream of fresh water to feed it, our brain requires an input of fresh data to invigorate it and keep it from languishing in a mire. The question then becomes, “What kind of data are you feeding your brain?” If there is nothing but the constant flow of sludge, or conspiracy theories, the brain will stagnate and become a quagmire! It is both surprising and disheartening to learn how so many people buy into conspiracy theories such as those put forth by QANON. Basically good people were conned into believing the ‘big lie’ which claims that the former president, the P.O.T.A.S. (President of the American Supremacists) had his second term stolen from him. Right up to the day of the incursion on Capitol Hill, honest Republicans, under the spell of the confederate mesmerizers, had believed that the P.O.T.A.S. would be declared president again. And so, with the angry mob, led by the P.O.T.A.S. and his confederate instigators, they marched to Capitol Hill and swarmed the building. When their attempted coup failed to happen, many people began to wake up from their trance, confused and upset over what had transpired. “How did this happen?” they exclaim. It is evident, from the news reports and personal interviews which followed, that many of these people only read the conspiracy theories and tuned into the P.O.T.A.S.’ propaganda news channel, FOX News, who had perpetrated the ‘big lie’, and still do. The irony of this situation harkens back to the former president’s claim when he was campaigning back in 2016. The P.O.T.A.S.’ motto, back then, was ‘Drain the swamp!’, which he promised the American people he would do. In reality, the P.O.T.A.S. filled the swamp with snakes, like boa constrictors, who mesmerize their victims through distraction before suffocating the life out of them. Pseudo-Republican senators and representatives had cast a spell on their victims, true Republicans, with false promises and false claims. For years, they smothered their constituents with lie upon lie until they lived and breathed only by what was fed to them by the confederate supremacists. The failed coup, on January 6 of 2021, broke the spell. But the damage had already been done. Now, there is a wide rift in the United States. The confederate army is still pushing for another civil war. And, those true Republicans, who are just waking up to the reality, find themselves right in the middle, wondering how they got there and what to do about it. Thankfully, we are witnessing the dawn of the age of enlightenment. All prophecy points to this place in time when the people of earth are plagued by pandemics, civil unrest, environmental crises, war, famine and strife of every kind. Whether you are a religious zealot or history buff, or not, there is no denying that these are all signs of our time. Never before has there been such conflict on a global scale. Prophets and seers alike, from many various civilizations and past generations, have foretold this day which they, understandably but erroneously, deemed ‘the end of days’. The age of technology has indeed made this a ‘small world’. With that technology, comes the power and ability to annihilate, also, on a global scale. Those, who ’embrace the darkness’, are vying for that power today. They would snuff out the light that is your soul, your spirit, your ability to discern right from wrong! It is said that, ‘Time heals all wounds!’ But, those wounds, created by the P.O.T.A.S. and his iniquitous vipers, on the heart and spirit of all Americans, are not only deep but festering. It is true that, with time, love and forgiveness can go a long way in healing the heart and soul. But, it will take a great deal of understanding and introspection to accomplish a complete recovery from the ‘dark place’ into which the P.O.T.A.S. and his confederate minions had drawn many an innocent soul. Enlightenment spawns understanding! The upcoming multiple court cases involving the P.O.T.A.S., his family and organization, as well as the criminals who supported him, will be a revelation. Bit by bit, the light will come on in the soul of each individual who had been mesmerized or bedazzled by the biggest boa of them all, the P.O.T.A.S.! They will be inundated with truth after truth until the overwhelming evidence leeches the poison from their wounds. After that, the healing process will begin, not just for America, but for the entire world. Many democratic governments are already creating policies to make life better, more equal for everybody. Environmental agencies are promoting guidelines to mitigate the damage which humans have done to the planet. More countries are working together to solve hunger amongst the poor. A global confederation can minimize the effects of an epidemic before it becomes a pandemic. We can learn from the recent crisis and become wiser for it. All it would take is for people to lift their minds from the ‘stagnated bog’, into which they have descended, and open them up to the possibility of a brighter future, away from the ‘darkness’, where they can ‘bask in the light’. We are indeed witnessing the ‘End of days’, the Apocalypse, as prophesized. But, it is the end of these dark days which the prophets had foreseen, which heralds in a new beginning. The Apocalypse, of which they spoke, actually refers to the ‘Day of Enlightenment’. The new ‘Revelation’ is that we should embrace this time as the promised ‘Awakening’!
