Thanks Carol, nice to have a reasonable comment like yours, emphasizing what connects us - Love - rather than what could disconnect us - our particular flavor of KoolAid. As for comprehending what I'm trying to say, I appreciate how difficult this is if the "news" one is consuming is from mainstream sources. Thanks for trusting your live senses, that is, how you know me.
As said before, I think you drank the kool aid! That said, I love that what is important to you LOVE! I will continue to shake my head and try to comprehend what you are saying and believing because of my past encounters with you and admiration for you.
I'm glad you're taking care of yourself in the midst of all of this. And, the Alan Watts video is something I want to have available to listen to regularly just as a reminder. Thanks for this and all of your thoughtful sharing.
I applaud you dearest Heart for having such Strong Boundaries, again those who don't, can learn from you.
Sad to hear close relationships breaking down and Hey, not surprized ... since CONvid [as it CAN be called] I've experienced the same, with 3 long time wonderful both-ways supportive friends fivorcing me cos of varying OPINIONS! Truly .... Humanity sure has a ways to Grow as we know. Always LOVE to hear from you Will ... WHENever.
Blessings for ALL your Creations in the works. 💚 from LandofOz :😀
I love it that you are taking care of yourself and doing what is best for you at this time. Tomas and I love reading what you write, and even more, being with you in person, which we'll have a chance to do once you are back in Maui. Sending you so much love!!!!
Think of it as a shedding process—those who choose propaganda over friendship may not have been the friends you thought all along. You may have lost fair-weather friends, but you've gained wild-weather friends, and they are the ones who will have your back when the SHTF.
I haven't given up on the propagandized, though, and it's not entirely their fault they have been menticided (https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/letter-to-the-menticided-a-12-step) through the dark behavioral psychology arts. They are usually goodhearted people whose cognitive and emotional strings have been manipulated by narcissistic oppressors. Getting them to realize that is the hardest part, but once they do, the scales can fall from their eyes surprisingly quickly.
I hope we can find a way to resurrect civil discourse. I would love for your (former?) friends to join us at the CJ Hopkins events next week:
We want to hear from people across the political spectrum. CJ feels it is important to represent their perspective in his book about how ordinary people feel about America at this moment in history, and I believe face-to-face dialogue is how we heal the divide that has inflicted so much emotional pain on you—and your friends.
P.S. Here’s another idea. Instead of defending Trump, which they will automatically react aggressively to, try to help them broaden their hatred to all politicians and systemic corruption 😁
My approach would say, “Yes, you’re right, Trump is part of the Big, Beautiful Club, and we ain’t in it”:
“And so is every other puppetician and puppeparty, all of which are being controlled through a long-established system of intellimafia (https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/memes-by-themes-20-the-intellimafia) blackmail, bribery, bullying, and bashing. So let’s stop ceding our sovereignty to others and reclaim our natural state of freedom.”
Will, I love your loving heart and energy. Always constructive and insightful. I frequently refer to the Bell Curve to remind myself that, in any sizable population, there will always be an extreme left and and extreme right. With Divine Acceptance we can allow others differing opinions and align with people whom we share our values and goals. Please keep me on your list, my Dear Brother!!
Understand your pause, Will. I had to take a pause from Substack, as so much good content, I was getting nothing else done. I love your shares and know the heartbreak of losing friends. Yet, as Jim Jordan stated, they are not true friends. They might return once they cool down and realize their loss and that ‘something wonderful is happening’.
I love reading everything you write Will. I understand what it's like having friends dump me because I don't agree with their politics. All I can say is that these people are not true friends so I'm better off without them. Keep up the great work!
Hey Will, your tireless offerings are very much valued, and hope you will enjoy a bit of a break from things.
Cheers,
Your bro
I am always grateful for the inspiring messages you have posted, and please leave me on your list for the future. Glad you are taking care of YOU.

Something like that :-)
