To me it's incredibly optimistic, though I've been studying what I've called the global energy problem for more than seven years now, the problem summarises as Earth being a kind of battery, which has been dischrged to near empty, by a sysyem mostly unbeknowns to us, a system of energy slavery.
We need to maybe be careful not to see "Technology" as something we ourselves are not involved in, it seems to me, technology in its broadest sense includes even religions and money systems such as profit, etc, and the learned environment we find ourselves in affects how we think in much deeper ways than we mostly realise. For sure we are instinctively affected by our perception of energy availability in the environment, but the one reaction we need to try to avoid is panic. Panic is not helping.
On the empathy you mention, we might well need more of that to understand how someone very different might actually be more human than maybe is apparent if we just paint them how mainstream has painted them, and also to realise NATO is something superseded, became superseded when war kicked off in Europe under Mr Biden's watch. Personally I think much more is going to come out about that which we for sure will find shocking, if we didn't suspect it, and even Biden himself expects this, since he issued Pardons in advance for family found to be caught up in wrongdoing. It doesn't matter much anyhow, we are going to have to accept that the world isn't what we thought it was, there is both good and bad we didn't know about. I suggest we have assign more good to Trump, give him a little credit for the good things that have come about, things that are the opposite of the bad things that came about under Biden. Wars are ending right now under Trump, rather than beginning.
There are a lot of things threatening, but they have not come about yet, and might never, if we react in the right way, which might be what Trump fully intends, by telegraphing in advance what he claims to be angling for, we tend to react in a way that it doesn't happen, and he might well be counting on that.
Anyhow, what you write about, appears to be crucial, in making sure we have the right reactions, I think you are doing a great job and hope you won't stop, it's incredibly important we don't lose faith, but rather, we gain faith, gather faith, we grow in spiritual awareness, especially indigenous spiritual awareness. I think you are helping us do that, David. I certainly feel like you've helped me do that.
