This was stellar:I give it 10 stars: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 sharing from the heart while distilling Truth from experience is what the art of memoir should be all about. You grasped it
Please go ahead and share more. This was full of hope. Something we need more of these days
Celia, you are a breath of fresh air from a time when we were kind and things were good. At least on the surface. At least that is how it appeared.
I remember the 80s and 90s when San Francisco was a beautiful city and New York was, albeit overrun with homeless, still a great, iconic place. I lived in both places and as hard as things were for me as a young woman, I'm grateful for that time.
The reality is, we always had the hidden controllers in the shadows. Like the Wizard of Oz. Like Greg Reese was talking about yesterday on the zoom call. So glad I attended! Read the book, Walking Among Us: The Alien Plan to Control Humanity by David M. Jacobs PhD.
I think we all needed to hear about Michael Nehls and his research on the hippocampus. I do believe the vaccines are lobotomizing people. It's not their fault that they lost their empathy and humanity. They had it stolen from them.
The good news is we can detox it. Very cheaply and easily. I spent the last 3 years researching the ingredients and am launching a free class this week to help people detox. We will take our country and our world back. Person by person. It may be too late for some people but it's not too late for most of us.
Thanks, Celia. By the way, I looked up your name -- it means Of the Heavens in Latin. I believe you were called.
Oh and also, I am the one who founded the biggest health blog network in the world. Before that I was a corporate advertising executive. I can help the group with business stuff. I am starting a new network this month called Eden Revival.
Yes, genuine friendship is a treasure. Avoid people who gaslight and invalidate. They are never your friends. Lorre Wyatt has a beautiful song about friendship. I'll share a few of the lyrics.
"When I think of the ways I have grown
I know I never could have made it alone
I owe a lot to the caring, sharing, daring
Wonderful friends that I've known."
I've discovered that when you eliminate toxic people from your life, loving people will find you.
Thanks so much for your compassionate and meaningful posts.
Destroying the family unit and emasculating boys has been a plan put in place for a long time. I remember watching an interview some years back with a CIA man being interviewed. He said Rockefeller told him the women’s rights movement (which Rockefeller paid for) was created for 2 reasons. One, to get women working and be able to tax that half. Second, to get both parents working outside the home. Less attention to the children and lots of TV. The most effective way to implement a plan where no one notices is to do it very very slowly and to do it under the guise of fairness and equality or for our planet and humanity.
I’ve been thinking a lot about kindness lately due to an incident I just experienced. Kindness can be disguised in someone fighting for humanity by their hard work to reveal what is harming us - to inform us. I have just experienced a woman who fits that description who I am a paid subscriber to. She created a story in her mind, along with another commenter that I was a liar and an imposter simply because I said I was a subscriber to your substack and because it didn’t show up in my profile (my settings set to private), there was no possible way I could be a subscriber to you Celia. They became highly suspicious of me also because they interpreted my private settings to mean I was “hiding” something. I was also accused of being affiliated with someone who she said “hates me”, in reference to her. No idea who this person is. I tried to defend myself, but she and the commenter’s stance was firm. All this in the public space of comments. They had no shame. She banned me from her substack simply because she believed the creative story she invented in her head. Regretfully, I previously gushed over this woman’s work. One can be fighting for humanity, but when you’re attacking and making false accusations to an innocent person, THAT is not fighting for humanity.
Wow. So sorry to hear this. I agree w you that trying to fight for what is right is a noble gesture but sadly it was used against you. This is so unnecessary and a reflection of how so much can be misinterpreted, especially if you aren't as artful a writer as some (not you, me.) A casual comment has often misconstrued when I thought I was just adding to the conversation.
BYW, I just found that story you referenced the other day and saved a repost.
Aaron Russo explains the creation of Women's Lib as told to him by Rockefeller
1. Couldn't tax 1/2 the population
2. Get kids in school. at an early age--indoctrinate.
CIA funded Ms magazine w stated goal of taxing women and breaking up the family.
Chris! Thank you for the link!! I had not seen that entire interview. I too did not know about Ms magazine either. Also enjoyed Aaron’s surprise reaction. Have you heard Dr. Lawrence Dunegan’s audio tapes? He made some audio tapes in 1989 from the notes he took back in 1969 at a lecture given by Dr. Day. It’s chilling. It takes some patience as he speaks slowly and the quality is not so clear at times, but worth the listen. The details he revealed of what the powers who shouldn’t be planned and were already in place back in 1969, we are now seeing play out. www.drrichardday.wordpress.com
~ And thank you for your comment re my experience. The astounding part of it was I said absolutely *nothing* to warrant their false accusations. Every single one of my comments on her Substack was kind and complimentary. It was literally out of the blue because apparently this person’s name showed up affiliated with my email. I still don’t understand. I’m not savvy with Substack. They believed and commented that I, “Audrey” was a pseudonym for this other person who “hated” the person I subscribed to. I’m still stunned by it. They claimed they knew a lot about Substack and “Substack was not THAT sketchy!” 🤷♀️, but apparently I am. It was a huge lesson….
I’m not a writer - at all. Obviously. Lol. Just someone who enjoys reading and learning.
I hear ya. You're welcome and thank you for the link. I will listen to it later but appreciate you for sending. I have not heard of Lawrence Dunagan. It is amazing how much there is out there about the truth of what has been planned vs what we've been led to believe was just happenstance. It can be a bit unnerving and sometimes difficult to believe. I'm learning to be a bit skeptical but when something comes up over and over again.
It is sad that this unfortunate misunderstanding happened because it sounds as if you really admired this person and probably agree w her today. To be falsely accused, then not believed...it all seems so juvenile. It's substack for crying out loud. Being dismissed by friends of 28 years, not being able to have these kinds of conversations w them, is very sad. But, that's why I'm here.
Click on menu. Hard to see but just under the tree image. These audios knocked me off my feet. IMO, it’s healthy to be skeptic. It’s where discernment begins. Like you, I find the comment section- community very helpful. Loving the friendship topic of discussion. Sounds like you are in the midst of some big decisions/changes. I hope you find peace in your decision(s).
To me it's so obvious. Humanity definitely in transition. As a race of living creatures, we've always been changing. That's what Life is. Change is hard. The past known, comfortable, like a fading set of jeans that fit you so well, but threadbare and must be thrown away.
The "correction" concerned might be the toughest––becoming individuals. We used to be more family oriented, animalistic in the sense of living in "herds"; acting more instinctively according to ancient traditions. Instead now separating, separated––being self-aware, acting independently, and being held accountable for our choices. We can still come together socially, but it can play out in an independent, standoff-ish kind of way (doesn't have to).
Big problem: this is happening and most people are oblivious. They are responding to this massive switch asleep, unconscious (because they haven't done The Work). And, of course, you've got the malcontents with nothing better to do than bank more bad karma, as if that loan never has to be repaid. With compounded interest.
This is an organic, Divinely guided acclimation (as everything is). I'm so grateful. Prerequisite to freedom, sovereignty, and immortality, the effects of which has and will continue to reverberate throughout the Cosmos.
Whoa! Thank you. "We can still come together socially, but it can play out in an independent, standoff-ish kind of way (doesn't have to)." That is what I am trying to figure out--tow the line in a group of women who don't give a hoot about my worries, concerns, opinions--"just want to have fun." I get that but wondering, why can't we do both?
We can, but have to be firmly cognizant and grounded in both worlds. The "fake" one material (temporal); the infinite––Spirit. When we retire into sleep dark of night, or when we die––>hello to our indigenous place.
Wow!! The stories from your past were so vivid - I felt them. This is why I read your articles. So incredibly enlightening and full of lived experience. Bravo.
When I was in maybe first grade, we moved to a Marine Base in North Carolina from California. The kids at our new school surrounded me and my rother, demanding to know if wee were "with" the North or the South -- the Civil War still raged there, apparently.
I was pretty astute for a first grader, and could smell danger when it appeared. I said, very seriously, "We are not with the North or the South, we are from California and it was not in the Civil War." And that worked.
I'm on the Pfizer Docs Committee but enjoying these comments here regarding friendship.
Right now, I am trying to find my place in the world. The women's group that I started 28 years ago when I first moved to this town have basically told me to. " Sit down and shut up...we just want to have fun." I guess I have trouble talking about the weather when we have a country to save.
But somehow, I was expected to cheer on their efforts to recall 3 school board members who stood up to our governor regarding the mask mandates.
So, not feeling alot of "friendliness," at the moment, deciding, do I toss 28 years away...I think I know the answer...
There's so much negativity amongst us anti-vaxxers, too; so much dwelling on evil doings, injustices, the bastardization of science, tyranny, mass genocide, and the like. I've been wondering lately if it's part of the overall design to get everyone thinking about negative sh*t all the time instead of being grateful and positive and focusing on manifesting good things. Maybe the plandemic Designers want to feed off our negativity like that creature from the old Star Trek; to use it to manifest the lugubrious version of reality they yearn for.
So, I'm switching the focus of my attention to positivity, creativity, and gratefulness. I'm back to hauling water for my own benefit.
Actually, here I was using the label sarcastically; though I do rather like the term and it has no power over me. In fact, I have become suspicious of vaccines of any type, having directed some scientific effort towards assessing them properly, rather than relying on the dubious word of the pharmedical institutions.
"I was accustomed to being known as myself, loved and accepted. That’s what “home” really means. People know you. They don’t think you are good or bad they just know you."
So powerful it makes my soul sob. No "home" remains for me, literally or figuratively. And drives all my existential angst, as I imagine it does for many of your followers and other stack subscribers. Will we ever again know a life outside of this totalitarian anti-human, anti-nature virtual reality where we can construct a new "home"? Optimism is my true nature yet I grow more doubtful by the day.
Someone on substack asked the question "What is or are the most significant changes from the past few years?"
You've answered this question:
"The beast’s cargo was not mere contagion psychosis, but real meanness, real sadism, which I guess lurked beneath the American persona, like in the Twilight Zone episodes that revealed how thin neighborly love was.
Being a Covid citizen meant being capable of acts of random viciousness at any local supermarket. And viciousness was not something people were ashamed of anymore."
Having the unnerving capacity to see through pretense, this socially sanctioned viciousness is also the one aspect personally appreciated; the hidden shadow of every human being when threatened, was revealed. As a gay man with childhood in the '50's and '60's this shadow was keenly felt and known. Not that anyone would believe me - now it cannot be argued. But of course it is.
And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived. (Revelation 18:23)
The word "sorceries" comes from the Greek, pharmakeia.
Definition of pharmakeia: the use or the administering of drugs, poisoning, sorcery, magical arts, often found in connection with idolatry and fostered by it, metaph. the deceptions and seductions of idolatry
I was never so shocked as I was by comments on our local newspaper's FB page regarding whether an unvaccinated, ventilated hospital patient deserved a "Go Fund Me," account. I was furious by the viciousness. That is when this nurse of 45 years spoke out against this nonsense, which I noticed seem to break the ice locally. But when a friend, with a gay son who is always posting about "inclusion," posted an editorial entitled, "Don't Let The Door Hit You On the Way Out," about the unvaccinated nurses who were being fired in NYC, I then realized that "inclusiveness," didn't include me.. The article seemed to indicate that the unvaxxed nurses were all the C students. I had straight A's btw.
I have nothing against gays nor her gay son but the irony of her posting that vicious article that made no attempt to understand how difficult it was for those nurses to take that stand was unnerving.
Thank you for this post. I'm sorry that you have experienced all of your life what many of us are going through now. I am beginning to understand more and more. Sadly, this RN was one who also rolled her eyes at those who blamed autism on vaccines. I was so far removed from them, I didn't realize how the numbers had increased from the mid 80's. Suffering w neuropathy s/p taxanes finally woke me up to the dangers of allopathic medicine.
Thank you for your comment - it was astounding to see the gleeful compliance of the gay community, jumping on board with the forced conditions to participate in covid-society. The parallels of exclusion stung, though apparently only very few of us in the gay community.
To wield easily, judgement and exclusion was shocking. Leaving the question "Is this the ultimate belonging card?" ... effectively erasing all previous castigation, creating an entirely clean slate.
I read some time ago that it is much easier to get a group of people on your side than individually, one by one..So, take abortion. If you've had one, you're most likely going to defend it or be called a hypocrite. Then they make a big story about conservatives are taking away your "Reproductive Rights," then tell the Gay Community that conservatives hate them too (my friend w the gay son used to be a Republican, her husband is a West Point grad, but now a full blown Progressive because 'Republicans hate gays," ) now the gay community is won over along w the abortion community. That is why a group like the Muslims who don't take too kindly to gays in their country, or so I am told, March along w the afore mentioned because somehow Republicans "hate" them too. The use of "identity politics," is so dishonest yet so many fall for it.
Just last week, somehow, Republicans now hate IVF so you have Biden screaming at the SOTU for killing babies while arguing in the same breath to create babies! And nobody actually researched what was the reason this came up in Alabama for in the first place! It makes no sense.
The frustration for me and I think the purpose of this substack is finding a way to have a conversation with others who "aren't just like me," to be able to "just have fun," yet able to discuss some of these important issues of the day without being ridiculed or dismissed. As stated, Covid exposed the true nature of so many. I truly believe we were all attacked w a military style psyop which as w other social issues, was designed to create chaos even amongst like minded folks.
If you're on Twitter or TS @KAGrogo has posted some interesting thoughts.
Thanks Chris ... so true, conversation without ridicule went out the window with this Covid nonsense. Another goal of this psy-op. Will have a look at your recommendation.
Yet a good outcome is many voices speaking on previously little heard topics, revealing the nefarious presence throughout history of social enslavement. The Medical Rebel on rumble is one of many. (just discovered - along with this book: The Naked Bible: The Truth about the most famous book in history.
We are suffering from PTSD. The last four years are an unbelievable blur of stress. I have almost forgotten how I had to psych myself up to make a quick grocery run. A co-op in my area threw me out of the store without letting me check out my 5 items. I refuse to ever shop there again and instead support the more expensive store that let me shop without a mask. I tried to support as many small businesses that had an unspoken mask optional policy as I could. I remember in a Target passing another maskless woman in a food aisle and her giving me a quick smile and a thumbs up. I will never forget her face as if she were my closest friend or a beloved relative. As if we were both members of an underground who happened to cross paths. That was a good interaction that sustained my spirit for weeks. The worst part is how it affected longstanding relationships which were reduced to superficial interactions mostly over the phone. A friend of decades gave me a hug during the height of the paranoia and then quickly left to go home and shower. As I write this I can’t believe myself that I experienced this. It is easy to recognize that the world is run by a cabal of evil men and women if one knows some history. What is more horrifying is when the friends you thought you knew turn out to be strangers. Thanks Celia for giving us a platform. I will always remember the day I brought home my first SPIN for the music writing and found your article. It was a paradigm shift in my life and I am certain for countless others.💙
Paul McCartney recounts a conversation he had with Keith Moon who congratulated him on his recent album "Band on the Run". "Who's that drummer you got?" asked Keith. " His style is interesting." Paul told him "It was me!"

Today I am going to watch the video that was shared on the call -- with Dr. Michael Nehls: https://www.bitchute.com/video/ZxqY0T4wWtVL/
I think we all needed to hear about Michael Nehls and his research on the hippocampus. I do believe the vaccines are lobotomizing people. It's not their fault that they lost their empathy and humanity. They had it stolen from them.

I missed the zoom call. I thought it was today. Is it available to watch?
I'm not sure if they recorded it. Celia said they are going to do another one within a week or so -- she'll post about it.
Thank you.. So I need to ask about your health blog..
I will look through your substack. Looks very interesting.
My health blog is https://annmariemichaels.com/. And I'm also posting the articles over here on Substack. It used to be called Cheeseslave.
The name of my new company is called Eden Revival. The old health blog network was called Village Green Network.

Someone on substack asked the question "What is or are the most significant changes from the past few years?"
You've answered this question:
"The beast’s cargo was not mere contagion psychosis, but real meanness, real sadism, which I guess lurked beneath the American persona, like in the Twilight Zone episodes that revealed how thin neighborly love was.
Being a Covid citizen meant being capable of acts of random viciousness at any local supermarket. And viciousness was not something people were ashamed of anymore."
Having the unnerving capacity to see through pretense, this socially sanctioned viciousness is also the one aspect personally appreciated; the hidden shadow of every human being when threatened, was revealed. As a gay man with childhood in the '50's and '60's this shadow was keenly felt and known. Not that anyone would believe me - now it cannot be argued. But of course it is.
And now this scripture makes so much more sense:
And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived. (Revelation 18:23)
The word "sorceries" comes from the Greek, pharmakeia.
Definition of pharmakeia: the use or the administering of drugs, poisoning, sorcery, magical arts, often found in connection with idolatry and fostered by it, metaph. the deceptions and seductions of idolatry

I was never so shocked as I was by comments on our local newspaper's FB page regarding whether an unvaccinated, ventilated hospital patient deserved a "Go Fund Me," account. I was furious by the viciousness. That is when this nurse of 45 years spoke out against this nonsense, which I noticed seem to break the ice locally. But when a friend, with a gay son who is always posting about "inclusion," posted an editorial entitled, "Don't Let The Door Hit You On the Way Out," about the unvaccinated nurses who were being fired in NYC, I then realized that "inclusiveness," didn't include me.. The article seemed to indicate that the unvaxxed nurses were all the C students. I had straight A's btw.
I have nothing against gays nor her gay son but the irony of her posting that vicious article that made no attempt to understand how difficult it was for those nurses to take that stand was unnerving.
Thank you for this post. I'm sorry that you have experienced all of your life what many of us are going through now. I am beginning to understand more and more. Sadly, this RN was one who also rolled her eyes at those who blamed autism on vaccines. I was so far removed from them, I didn't realize how the numbers had increased from the mid 80's. Suffering w neuropathy s/p taxanes finally woke me up to the dangers of allopathic medicine.
Thank you for your comment - it was astounding to see the gleeful compliance of the gay community, jumping on board with the forced conditions to participate in covid-society. The parallels of exclusion stung, though apparently only very few of us in the gay community.
To wield easily, judgement and exclusion was shocking. Leaving the question "Is this the ultimate belonging card?" ... effectively erasing all previous castigation, creating an entirely clean slate.
I read some time ago that it is much easier to get a group of people on your side than individually, one by one..So, take abortion. If you've had one, you're most likely going to defend it or be called a hypocrite. Then they make a big story about conservatives are taking away your "Reproductive Rights," then tell the Gay Community that conservatives hate them too (my friend w the gay son used to be a Republican, her husband is a West Point grad, but now a full blown Progressive because 'Republicans hate gays," ) now the gay community is won over along w the abortion community. That is why a group like the Muslims who don't take too kindly to gays in their country, or so I am told, March along w the afore mentioned because somehow Republicans "hate" them too. The use of "identity politics," is so dishonest yet so many fall for it.
Just last week, somehow, Republicans now hate IVF so you have Biden screaming at the SOTU for killing babies while arguing in the same breath to create babies! And nobody actually researched what was the reason this came up in Alabama for in the first place! It makes no sense.
The frustration for me and I think the purpose of this substack is finding a way to have a conversation with others who "aren't just like me," to be able to "just have fun," yet able to discuss some of these important issues of the day without being ridiculed or dismissed. As stated, Covid exposed the true nature of so many. I truly believe we were all attacked w a military style psyop which as w other social issues, was designed to create chaos even amongst like minded folks.
If you're on Twitter or TS @KAGrogo has posted some interesting thoughts.
Thanks Chris ... so true, conversation without ridicule went out the window with this Covid nonsense. Another goal of this psy-op. Will have a look at your recommendation.
Yet a good outcome is many voices speaking on previously little heard topics, revealing the nefarious presence throughout history of social enslavement. The Medical Rebel on rumble is one of many.

Nothing is what we thought it was.
Thanks. I will take a look.
We are suffering from PTSD. The last four years are an unbelievable blur of stress. I have almost forgotten how I had to psych myself up to make a quick grocery run. A co-op in my area threw me out of the store without letting me check out my 5 items. I refuse to ever shop there again and instead support the more expensive store that let me shop without a mask. I tried to support as many small businesses that had an unspoken mask optional policy as I could. I remember in a Target passing another maskless woman in a food aisle and her giving me a quick smile and a thumbs up. I will never forget her face as if she were my closest friend or a beloved relative. As if we were both members of an underground who happened to cross paths. That was a good interaction that sustained my spirit for weeks. The worst part is how it affected longstanding relationships which were reduced to superficial interactions mostly over the phone. A friend of decades gave me a hug during the height of the paranoia and then quickly left to go home and shower. As I write this I can’t believe myself that I experienced this. It is easy to recognize that the world is run by a cabal of evil men and women if one knows some history. What is more horrifying is when the friends you thought you knew turn out to be strangers. Thanks Celia for giving us a platform. I will always remember the day I brought home my first SPIN for the music writing and found your article. It was a paradigm shift in my life and I am certain for countless others.💙
Beautiful. Thank you. "Who loves ya, baby ?"
Paul McCartney recounts a conversation he had with Keith Moon who congratulated him on his recent album "Band on the Run". "Who's that drummer you got?" asked Keith. " His style is interesting." Paul told him "It was me!"
I don't recognize this world anymore.
