An extreme reckoning for Democracy

We should stop labelling in our politics and instead recognise that reckless 'extremism' has caused the dangerous polarisation we are seeing now in our democracies, including in the MAGA Republicans in the US & elsewhere. I predict the 'silent majority' who know that negotiation and consensus is the only way forward, and who reject 'extremism', will win the battle for our democracies in the end.

Ukraine’s survival...what’s at stake?

Ukraine's survival is linked to our own. Anyone who doesn't understand that basic fact, that Putin aims to reform the USSR, plays into the hands of a war criminal and murderous dictator. It also encourages other empiricists such as China to invade independent Taiwan...and where does the march of the aggressor end? It's time to recommit to a sovereign and free world and this is contingent on supporting Ukraine's survival.

The inevitable downfall of mainstream media?

Recently major media outlets in America wined and dined with criminally indicted ex president Trump's campaign, according to alternative media company Meidas Touch. Meanwhile another major media outlet NBC aired an interview with Meet the Press host Kristen Welker and the ex president who was not fact checked or challenged during the media interview. That's not how it's supposed to go, yet it is symptomatic of the dysfunctional media at this time. In the future, much will change.

Calling on the Temperance Angel

When we are in harmony with the flow of life, Spirit's abundance can find us. When we pursue extremism or fundamentalism, we are blind to the looming consequences of our actions. Mormon 'Mummy blogger' Ruby Franke's indictment on child abuse charges is a case in point, as are politicians, leaders and their followers who pursue dangerous extremist paths.

Do you put politics above family relationships?

Politics above family? Some, undoubtedly, do put politics first before maintaining family relationships. What they are doing in reality, is saying that what divides us is more important than what unites us. At the base of this is the driving emotional force of beliefs and values, and we don't always hold common beliefs. The question is, how do we manage this...I have a few suggestions.

The trajectory of a Big Lie

It's a fortunate time for the truth. In the US we are witnessing what accountability looks like...and it's a sweet victory after a period when the moral arc teetered almost off its dial, driven to destruction by greed, power lust, ignorance and bigotry. Beware, as they say, of false Gods.

When & why we need to let go of the past

Betrayal, cruelty & misguided relationships are common to all...however there comes a point when we realise that holding onto pain robs us of happiness in the present, and future. This podcast looks at when and why we need to let go of the past. And here is the link to country and western singer, the late Slim Dusty’s beautiful ballad Looking forward, Looking back https://youtu.be/p46JjmUUv98

Wildfires, political instability...what’s next?

With the acceleration of climate change, political coups, war and much instability across the world, we could be forgiven for wondering what's next? 

Manifesting hope in times of change & turmoil

Right now the Lionsgate 8/8 portal is allowing us to manifest the future we want to live. Cultivating hope helps us to have faith...and belief the best outcomes, not the worst, will manifest. Hope is an intention to head in a particular direction. What are you hoping for?

Extremism...a natural born loser

Far right extremism has been a growing and supported political movement, particularly in the US, and also embraced in some western democracies. However it's a losing trajectory as some vocal and extreme politicians are now finding out. Humanity needs the truth, and balance. We need it to survive and more...to evolve.
