 My daughter is about 40 miles outside of Asheville. She has been without power for SEVEN DAYS. Mainstream media hasn’t even hit the tipping point of what is actually going on in Appalachia. 

Supply shock hit a week ago. 
15,000 people are STILL MISSING in Asheville alone, although the numbers being reported from government officials couldn’t be further from the truth. Children wandering who can’t find their parents, bodies in trees, or washing up, babies, elderly, young and old. It’s HORRIFYING. 

Private citizens with trucks of supplies are being turned away because they aren’t on the approved vendor list. Meanwhile, FEMA has prioritized illegal immigrants and funding aid at the border, while offering an insulting $750 to Helena victims. 

THIS IS TREASON. THIS IS GOVERNMENT OVERREACH. THIS IS PURE EVIL. 

Our people have been abandoned, left to starve, die, and endure inhumane conditions. 

What happened to humanity? It’s time to take a stand, put the power back into the hands of the people, and stop complying. 

2024 American Revolution Has Begun. 
 I kept it pg. 
 1765-1773: Taxation Without Representation

- Stamp Act (1765), Townshend Acts (1767), and Tea Act (1773): Britain imposes taxes on the colonies without their consent. Frustration grows as colonists feel oppressed and ignored.

1770: Boston Massacre

- British troops kill five colonists in Boston, marking a turning point. Boston becomes the center of rebellion, pushing people towards resistance.

1774-1775: Continental Congress & First Battles

- 1st Continental Congress (1774): Colonies unite and declare grievances against British tyranny.
- April 1775: British soldiers march on Concord, sparking the first battle of the revolution. Paul Revere’s ride spreads the alarm.

1776: Declaration of Independence

- July 4, 1776: Colonies declare independence, voting to break from an empire. A continental army is formed, inspired by the fight for freedom.

1777-1781: Revolutionary War

- Key victories at Saratoga and Delaware bring international support. Figures like Nathaniel Greene lead the charge, while Benedict Arnold’s betrayal nearly costs them.
- Treaty of Paris (1783): After years of sacrifice, the U.S. wins independence.

2024: History Repeats

- Government overreach: Taxes increase, wars fought without public consent, and elites legislate in secrecy. Americans face tyranny without representation once again.

Oppression & Corruption

- The current government mirrors the monarchies we once escaped—unaccountable, self-serving, and trampling on rights.

The People Will Rise Again

- Just as in 1776, frustration grows. The people awaken, ready to reclaim their liberty, representation, freedom, and independence. 
 If something was a REAL problem, a life or death situation, then you wouldn’t have time to think about it, you’d just act.

99% of our ‘problems’ aren’t actually problems, just situations we’ve named problems; an emotional response. 🤝

 Start with light. ☀️

For 4.5 billion years, sunlight has shaped life on Earth. It’s the ultimate cheat code, driving your health, your energy, and your well-being.

Sunlight isn’t just warmth, it’s electromagnetic information. It programs your cells, tells them to repair, rebuild, and thrive. Your mitochondria, the powerhouses of your body, rely on this natural energy. This is why ancient practices like fasting, heat, and cold exposure are hardwired into us. They activate self-healing at a cellular level.

The sun is your original fuel. It boosts mood, aligns your circadian rhythm, and enhances everything from sleep to hormone balance. Skip the sun, and you’re inviting deficiencies like low Vitamin D; just as harmful as smoking.

Sunbathing isn’t a luxury. It’s a metabolic boost, breaking down fat and stabilizing glucose. Red and near-infrared light even helps fight melanoma, showing that sunlight isn’t just safe, it’s protective.

Get outside. Let the sun do the work.

 The most important deliverance you will ever receive, is from people. 

Their opinions, the hurt they caused, how they disappointed you, betrayed you, rejected you, misunderstood you, judged you, and lied on you. Get it all out, and Forgive. Let it go, and move on with your life. Don’t ever let anyone or anything hinder you from your purpose.

 When the chaos of life erupts, choose to get still, slow down, and double down on the things you can control:

Your thoughts and your actions.  

Virtues, values, and character.  

Do right, love deeply, give recklessly,  
exercise, read, be with people, pray, eat  
well, rest, and breathe. 🤍

 No one has power over you. 

You unconsciously GIVE them power over you. 

And the reason why is because you are not in touch with your OWN power. 

When you are in touch with your own power, you can feel a deeper sense of abundance, wholeness, and love within. 

From this state, you no longer fear rejection. Sure, you can still feel pain but it will not lead you to play small, or suppress your voice; your power.

 The true balance is time and time is bound. 
 Can you see the conscious threads of resistance? 

Life’s messy. It’s raw. Unfiltered. 

Sometimes we can’t finish the laundry, or meet the deadline. Sometimes we mess up, or we’re too hard on ourselves. Sometimes we say too much, or we don’t speak up at all. Sometimes we give too much, or we don’t give enough. It all boils down to resistance. 

Some resistance is good, it pushes us to conquer our fears, and propels us into unknown things that end up being the absolute best thing that could of happened to us. Sometimes the resistance is too strong, and it holds us back into this endless cycle or season of defeat, pain, depression, or lesson. Every single person reading this right now has failed at something. We’ve all walked that path of resistance. We’ve all felt a wave of resistance so strong that it prevents us from moving forward. The key here is recognizing the path of least resistance. The flow. The gut instinct. When things continue to spiral, you have to stop and ask if you’re taking the path of least resistance. Are you running your life? Or is your life running you? There’s also beauty in the lessons. The resistant path of self discovery, that allows us to blossom into the beautiful souls that we are. 

For some of us, it only takes one lesson. For some of us it takes many. For the latter, forgive yourself and recognize the child-like innocence of your fears. What triggers them. Then release whatever it is, and forgive. 

Life is supposed to be messy. No one is perfect. We live, and we learn, yet we also learn so much more when we break the chains as we allow ourselves to LIVE MORE. 

There’s resistance in all change. If the change is in regards to a situation or person you can’t stop thinking about longer than a day.. and you feel that slight gut pull, then rip the bandaid off and GO! Don’t throttle. Spread your wings! Because the truth is, the only thing that prevents us from LIVING this beautiful messy imperfect life of ours is the fear of getting started or making that first move. Your spirit *always* knows. 

Trust yourself…stumble, fall, walk, stand, and then spread your wings, let that inner light GLOW and let yourself fly!!! Because the life you have always wanted and deserve is there.. you just have to open that door and let yourself walk through it.

 People change in four different seasons: 

People change when they HURT enough that they have to.

When they SEE enough, that they’re inspired to. 

When they LEARN enough, that they want to. 

And when they RECEIVE enough, that they’re able to. 

Which season are you in?

Be intentional with what you want, and say no to everything below your expectations. 

Settling delays your abundance.

 Non-resistance opens the door to quantum leaps 🌀💫 
 Your nervous system relaxes around people who have: 

Peace in their eyes
Growth in their plans
Kindness in their speech 
Compassion in their perception
Emotional maturity in their decisions 
 Do something, anything that brings you joy. Redirect your mind to what feels good. You will instantly be catapulted out of a lack mentality. This realigns you w/ joy & the abundance of the universe. All that you need will come. All the outcomes we desire show up when were in flow. 

As we lift ourselves out of a low vibration and move up the emotional scale, our point of attraction shifts. When we lean toward joy in any situation, we literally change the vibrational frequency of what’s happening around us. 

#spirituality #flowstate #nostr 
https://m.primal.net/KkkC.jpg 
 Fight for yourself. 
Fight for what you deserve. 
Be disciplined and aware as you retrain your mind to see the good. 

We’ve been on this journey for a while. I’m absolutely confident that you have the ability to detach from the world’s troubles and prioritize your victories, and the thoughts that bring you LIFE.

This is creation. 

This is where manifestation and abundance begin. It cannot flourish in frequencies not aligned with the joy of achieving our desires. 

We must expect greatness. 
We must EXPECT to win.

Naysayers, doubters, and doomers are those completely out of alignment with their true natural state. They have embraced a frequency of deception and, as a direct result, they reflect that frequency back onto themselves and everyone in their path. 

Recognize that energy. 
See how it presents itself, what it sounds like, what it feels like. 

Understand them for who they are: lost and disconnected from their true selves. 

Then, return to your power, alignment, and abundance. 

You’re powerful. 
You control your energy. 

Do not let yourself absorb dissonance. Rise above it every time. 

You can. 
You will. 

So go forth... because you’re a warrior. A champion.

 You’re a master of peace because you’re a master of war. You carry a golden heart and a golden sword. Warrior of the heart through the dark. You’ve finally accepted your truth and now your gifts will expand. You finally accepted that the shadow is your playground. Few walk the path through the underworld. Few remain incorruptible in the darkness…

 It’s all just a dance 
 When you know why you’re here and own your power, nothing can stop your light from shining. Divine Timing doesn’t wait. You’ve been given free will, and it’s always your call whether to step up. Don’t let life’s biggest opportunities slip away just because you’re stuck questioning the what, why, or how. Breathe, then kick that door wide open – your abundance is on the other side, waiting. 

⏰Tick Tock… The windows of opportunity WILL pass…

 If you’re participating in fear mongering and the division of people as opposed to conflict resolution or bridging the gap and uniting, you’re part of the problem. 
 Most people run from conflict and discomfort, clinging to a false sense of peace that leaves them stagnant. They hide behind silence, fearing rejection or confrontation, but in doing so, they betray their own needs and power. 

Avoiding conflict isn't a path to harmony; it's a slow surrender of your voice, your growth, and your potential. 

Real strength comes from facing discomfort head-on, standing firm in your truth, and refusing to shrink back. 

Conflict isn't the enemy; it's the catalyst for transformation and authenticity. 🤝

 Recognize that the world exploits your weaknesses. 

It works tirelessly to prevent you from tapping into your true strength and potential. 

They'll poison your food and water, bombard you with distractions, sell you empty promises, and paint false pictures of success. 

All of it is a trap meant to keep you weak. 

Many of us fall for it at some point, but you have the power to break free. 

Will you allow them to control you, or will you rise up and fight for yourself?

 No test, No testimony. 

Your legacy can only be formed in true authenticity, in all aspects of life. This means we must remove the masks of who we pretend to be, and boldly align to who we truly are; who we’re meant to become. 

This journey will be full of challenges, courage, risk, self doubt, highs, lows, and everything in between. The most important piece of this journey is the actions we must take that align us on this authentic path. It’s not meant to feel comfortable. Do it anyways. 

Take action, let go of the outcome, and see the good amidst the challenges. Don’t give in to false fears. Keep moving forward, especially on tough days. Don’t quit. You have a mission, and you will conquer it. While we can speculate about possible outcomes endlessly, we won't truly know until we take at least a  thousands of steps. This is the hardest part. Many will talk themself out of the first one. Most people focus on potential failure in this situation, but if you acknowledge that it’s normal to have those thoughts, push through it, and stay confident, you will rise every time. 

The path has already been made for you. You may fail at times, but you will not fall. You are safe, you are doing great, and you must keep going. 

Doors open one action at a time.

 One of my favorite things to do growing up was watch shows about the mysteries of the earth and read the encyclopedia Britannica with my grandfather and meemaw. We’d explore the secrets of the pyramids, look at pictures of secret caverns of the Philippine islands where my meemaw grew up, explore old maps, animals from all over the world, hidden treasures, ancient wonders, myths, and legends. 

He loved to fish and would always tell me his stories from his adventures at sea  with my meemaw, along with showing artifacts from all over the world. I miss my grandpa. I think he’d love the fact that I’ve never allowed my childlike curiosities to get away from me. 🤍🫶

 If everything returns to nature, then energy, life, death, and the cycles all eventually find their way back. Life mirrors this. When we resist the path we're meant to take, we can only hold back for so long before nature takes over, pushing us forward, often in disruptive ways, to where we were always meant to be. In these moments, we might wonder where we went wrong or ask, "Why me?" But the truth is, the path was always there, guiding us, urging us to break through our mental barriers until a way was made.

Embrace the flow of energy. Don't doubt your abilities. Trust in the unknown and find abundance in the present moment. Expect to succeed. Find your authentic path in nature. 🍃

 When we wake up from the sleepiness of the 3D world, we come to realize that our true point of power is always in the present moment. What we call past is just a bunch of energies we call memories which are held in the physical body in the memory field, our relationship with the past, as well as the future. Similarly, the future is a stream of probabilities which we have not yet experienced in the present moment.

 🤝 While the scientific method is undeniably a cornerstone of our understanding, relying on it exclusively offers a limited perspective that omits crucial aspects of human experience, especially consciousness. Consciousness isn’t just a passive observer; it’s an active participant in the fabric of reality.

Quantum mechanics, one of the most successful theories in modern physics, has shown us through the observer effect that the mere act of observing can change the outcome of an experiment. This suggests that consciousness, our awareness and attention, plays a direct role in the physical world. Nobel laureate Eugene Wigner even proposed that consciousness is fundamental to the quantum measurement process, highlighting how deeply intertwined it is with reality.

Beyond physics, consider the placebo effect in medicine. Patients have shown real, measurable improvements in their health simply by believing they are receiving treatment, even when they’re given a non-active substance. This is consciousness at work, influencing biological processes in ways that challenge a purely scientific or mechanistic view of the body.

Then there’s the hard problem of consciousness, a term coined by philosopher David Chalmers. Despite advancements in neuroscience, we still cannot explain how subjective experiences (what it feels like to be you) arise from the physical processes in the brain. This gap in understanding indicates that consciousness cannot be fully understood or explained by current scientific methods alone.

The history of science itself shows that consciousness and subjective experiences often precede scientific discoveries. For example, ya’ll discussed the double-slit experiment, which challenged the classical understanding of particles and waves, was initially rooted in thought experiments; products of conscious reflection and intuition. This demonstrates that consciousness doesn’t just observe reality; it can also lead us to new paradigms of understanding.

That all said, while the scientific method is essential, it’s only one part of the equation. Consciousness, with its profound influence on both the physical world and our subjective experience, must be acknowledged if we are to gain a complete understanding of reality. Ignoring it leaves us with a fragmented and incomplete picture of the world we live in. 

Btw- love this discussion guys, sorry for just barging in 😂🤝
