The easiest thing in the world to do, these days, is find something miserable to contemplate; something that will engender fear and a sense of hopelessness and despair. Thanks - I'll pass! In addition to being retired, I now have the great benefit of having even fewer obligations as all around me closes up and compresses the Space within which any signs ... Continue Reading >>

All the things we don’t want to know…..
After opening remarks, the first two presenters are David Martin and Nick Hudson, both of whom I have posted here, in the past. These particular offerings are succinct, substantiated and likely deeply disturbing to all - jabbed and unjabbed, alike. In Canada, that is estimated to be over 80% of the population. Globally, in excess of 5.5 billion ... Continue Reading >>

Rats in a maze
Those who have known me, over time, know well that I do not see the world through the eyes of what is but through the potential of what might become. These last years that fit snugly under the banner of ‘pandemic’ have only served to bring into sharper relief the degree to which what seems to be ’the issue’ is but the distraction… the cover… for something ...

Stela Murrizi: with Poetry of Predicament Podcast
Collective change is the byproduct of the individuals within the collective experiencing individual change. There is no way around it: it always comes back to the individual. To The One that each of us, is. To me. And to you. Owning that takes courage. Are you up for it? ... Continue Reading >>
Lex Fridman: Statement Against Lockdowns
Long ago, it stopped being about a virus and became about compliance and control. It became about a needle in every arm. It became about: When I say jump, you say 'how high?'. With millions now double and triple (and for some, quadruple) jabbed, how can a collective reality shift when so many will need to continue to be right about the one we've got? ...

Stela Shakti: Create with Intention
"I move forward in my life now knowing that we have entered an era that we won’t go back from. We have entered the era of post-truth, massformation, and the noble lie. A world of increasingly more concentrated wealth and power. A world where disagreement is met with censorship and violence. A world where a group of people is openly and unapologetically ...

Choosing Your Own Path
The last two years have been very difficult, for everyone. Cut off from so much that had formed a part of our lives that we rarely thought about, we now find ourselves longing for what is no longer available even if/when we’re not quite sure what that might be. It has been two years of being bullied and deprived of the most fundamental freedoms of ... Continue Reading >>
Invitation: A Deep Dive Conversation
This conversation is for you… If you have noticed something feels “wrong” with what’s going on and you want a safe space to exhale the truth of your experience, judgment-free. If you have noticed the contradictory nature of the messages “out there” and you want a safe, supportive space to express that. If you are looking for a powerful ... Continue Reading >>
The Power of Fear: An Alternative
Losing Your Mind…..
We were told that the risk was that we would lose our lives. We discovered that the risk is that we are losing our freedoms. The danger looms that we are at risk of losing our minds. Mind is the ground from which reality emerges and takes shape. Whoever owns my mind… owns me. Who owns your mind? ... Continue Reading >>
Covid Pandemic: A Retrospective
Month after month, filled with fear and anger and deep distrust. Intentional divisions and alienations. Lives and the quality of lives, victims to directives and policies that have now shown themselves to have been deeply flawed and vastly harmful. We now have enough passage-of-time and captured details to be able to look back and wonder: how else might ... Continue Reading >>
Charles Eisenstein: The Rehearsal is Over
"Many people trust the authorities and willingly comply with their rules. They face no dilemma, no initiatory moment, no self-defining world-creating choice point, not yet. But as the authorities’ narratives devolve into absurdity and their rules devolve into oppression, more and more of us face this choice: To live your truth out loud, or To live by ...

Follow-up: Neil Oliver goes Viral
Yet again, Neil Oliver finds the words to express what so many are thinking. Mind control is nothing new amongst our global populations. We are subjected to it every day and at every turn. The worst part about it - and what makes it all so powerfully effective - is that most of us don't have a clue it's even going on! Consider a more recent offering ... Continue Reading >>
Stela Shakti: Part 2 – Warrior!
"In this type of mind, then, compliance is seen as the golden standard. Compliance to the narrative I have held as true since longer than I can remember. I believe the underlying logic of needing desperately to be right goes something like this: If I am right about my life, then I am good. If I am good, and I do everything right, then I am safe. This type of ... Continue Reading >>

The Bigger Picture
It doesn't matter what conclusion you come to - what matters is how you come to it. In a world of technology, sound bytes and break-neck speed in all areas of our lives, we are no longer known for our deep thinking and ability to tolerate the unknown to remain so, for long. We have lost our appetite for letting discomfort stew and in its resulting ... Continue Reading >>
In the Gap Between Gratitude and Grief
I have a lot for which to be thankful. No doubt, there were times that challenged my sense of equilibrium in my world however, I am blessed with selective memory when it comes to moving forward in my life. Lingering long over past hurts and old wounds contributes little to a meaningful life, long lived. At now 70+, I can look back with a deep sense of ... Continue Reading >>
The House of my Mind
I spent many years travelling to Hawaii. Beyond the embrace of the physical space - the experience of being on a tiny dot of land in the middle of the majestic Pacific Ocean, 2500 miles from anywhere else, in any direction... all of which were breathtaking moments in time - I came to recognize that what kept calling me back to this ancient place was the ...

Storytellers, Trust and Reality
From the moment of our conception, the stories begin. As cells divide and begin to form what will become our bodies, the vibrations of sound echo inside our tiny chamber as our mother speaks to herself or any other. Over time, we develop the sensory capacity to make distinctions… noticing the vibrations of sounds and the often-rapidly changing chemical ... Continue Reading >>
Erosion of Individual Choice
Now officially a septuagenerian, I am mindful that I have cast many mindless votes in my lifetime. At the beginning of this democratic timeline, my vote was heavily influenced by the ’tribal elders’ who had shaped my world. The idea was to perpetuate the lineage of the 'anointed one' - the one that the older generation imprinted on the obligations of the ... Continue Reading >>
Stela Shakti: A Woman’s Voice – Strong and Loud
"In their desperate desire to have this so-called pandemic end, they are not noticing that it is NOT ending, I dare say intentionally. It is mind boggling how people are not one iota curious about how 15 days to flatten the curve has turned into mandated forced injections yearly for anyone who wants to be part of “us”. And anyone who doesn’t, well, clearly ... Continue Reading >>
Stela Shakti: Sovereignty and consciousness
"How you see the world depends on your perceptual filters. Those filters shape: How you read the data. Which media you follow. Which voices you trust. Which institutions you allow to guide your behaviour. All reinforce the mindset you’ve already got." (Stela Shakti) Another compelling challenge to the habituated (and mindless, devoid-of-effort) ...

This is not a drill.
"Deep in the human unconscious is a pervasive need for a logical universe that makes sense. But the real universe is always one step beyond logic.” (Frank Herbert, 'Dune') I retired in 2015 from the full-time engagement of my life’s work of the previous 25 years. I turned my attention to other things… things that I had too often overlooked or ignored, or ... Continue Reading >>
MIT study on vaccine hesitancy
"But a study done at MIT showed that a substantial portion of public-health skepticism was highly informed, scientifically literate, and sophisticated in the use of data. Skeptics used the same data sets as those with the orthodox views on public health." Click here for access to further info and a link to the study. ... Continue Reading >>
Stela Shakti: How we look determines what we see
"There are certainly many people who might have a sense inside themselves that something feels off. That perhaps something bigger than what’s let on is going on out there. Perhaps they’re not getting the full story. But, because they have no way of explaining what or how or why, they simply choose to distrust their internal cues, trust the external voices ...

Stela Murrizi: Covid-19 and Conventional Narrative
"When it comes to Covid-19, that voice of wisdom tells me that the conventional narrative is inherently untrustworthy and full of countless contradictions. The loudest voices on conventional media AND conspiracy theory channels only spew messages of fear, hatred and shame. We are now experiencing polarization in narratives, and therefore ideologies, like ... Continue Reading >>
Pandemic: Swimming Upstream
An expanded perspective requires more than a sound-byte approach to living; one that goes beyond headlines and talking heads and demands focused attention for hours at a time. In our 10-minute digital world, that has become a foreign concept for the vast majority of us. Not good/bad, right/wrong... and it has a profound impact on how we see the world and ...

Legal Challenge to COVID-19 Measures Filed in Ontario Superior Court
For details of this recent (August 11, 2020) undertaking, click here. This activity is concurrent with similar challenges to the 'party line' now being mounted by equally informed, credentialed and experienced professionals who tell a very different story relative to the last several months of our collective, global lives. These perspectives are not ... Continue Reading >>
The Great Divide: Pandemic Fallout
Inside the pandemic that continues to shape our global, day-to-day reality through its roiling, seething cauldron of overwhelming and often conflicting ‘facts’, the battle rages on to determine who’s right and who’s not. Once firmly ensconced on the platform of being correct, we can then seek to define what behaviours we should/must exhibit (and insist upon ... Continue Reading >>
William Brown: the framework that shapes matter
Suicidal at 18, I knew that same-old/same-old was not a path for me to follow. In the face of a possible life shaped by antidepressants and alcohol (much evidence around me of it being a bad idea), I knew instinctively that I would have to deal with the intense pressure in my body to free myself from what I was told was 'real' and 'true' and 'right'. More ... Continue Reading >>
Are we doomed?
Since my last urge to write (Ascent into Chaos), I have found myself in varying enquiries about the apparent trajectory on which we find ourselves. Many are troubled…agitated… about what may well lie ahead. I can appreciate that some would conclude that we’re doomed. The way I see it, being ‘white’ makes it less aggressive… and being ‘old’ makes it more ... Continue Reading >>
Ascent into Chaos
“The All is mind; the Universe is mental.” (The Kybalion; 1st Principle - The Principle of Mentalism) I am grateful for this place where I can write what is meaningful for me to express. In reading what I write, I become able to detect what had remained hidden to my own discernment. I do not write to reveal - I write to discover what remains ... Continue Reading >>
Not to be missed: Dr. Zach Bush, MD re COVID-19
How to you determine who to believe? What separates the politics of fear from intelligent analysis? From my experience, you have to incorporate a lot of information that you will, ultimately, simply delete from memory. And then, you come across someone like Dr. Zach Bush - an Internist, Endocrinologist and Hospice Care. The entire video is worth paying ... Continue Reading >>

Poetry of Predicament Podcast: Trance State Interrupted
Naomi and I have experienced the great pleasure of each other's company for many years. Each of us has borne witness to the evolution of the other, marked by a shared deep sense of potential greater than any fear; and a willingness to simply invite and allow that which presents.... and trusting it to lead. In a rare moment, indeed, we recently got to ... Continue Reading >>
Eaney… Meaney… Mieney… Mortality
These are interesting times! Without precedent and the accompanying pre-packaged, well-practised, habituated responses, we are faced with mindfully choosing the behaviours which we think will best serve our interests and those of others we care about. In truth, we are now in a time when those ‘others’ must include any and all with whom we may come in ... Continue Reading >>
Yuval Noah Harari: We become what we think about
No matter what the moment presents, we are faced with deciding how it's going to go. Either (A) we allow the moment to become the context for our decisions, or (B) we expand the context of who/what we are from within which we make choices that redefine the moment. Perhaps not as familiar, habituated or easy as (A) might appear to be, (B) has a future that ... Continue Reading >>
COVID-19: Toward the Light
I see no value in seeking to paralyze ourselves with fear. 60 Minutes Australia has gone a very credible job presenting a full picture. Not pretty... and not a surrender to our sense of desperation, either. There is a light at the end of the tunnel and it is not a freight train! ... Continue Reading >>
Wise Women ~ Wise Words
It helps to have something to think about that expands potential rather than compressing it. It's a choice, really, and that choice shapes your world. It has long been understood by many: we become what we think about. Here are some things for you to consider thinking about. And remember: anything that we have created was first a thought in someone's ... Continue Reading >>
COVID-19: Bottom Line
The Long and Short of it All
As a child, I may well have been described as ‘precocious’ and ’strong willed’. Never one to agree to anything just to appease, or to embrace pretence for peace over discovery (despite the likely chaos to follow) I was also considered by some to be ‘difficult’ (translation: a pain in the ass!). Truthfully? Not much has changed. Now in my 70th year, my ... Continue Reading >>
Pandemic
It's been lingering in the background for some time. In the last few days, its vibration has amped up significantly as Mexico and other countries 'brace for impact' of what many have long intended and been waiting for. It would be easy to tell a long story about this; to spend time and typing and 'pages' in proffering a perspective that would encompass ... Continue Reading >>
