‘… doing the "right" thing has always been 'smarter' than doing the "smart" thing, and this is why picking alphas to lead your tribe has always been a better play than picking low-T embittered valedictorians…’. This is an excellent observation of mankind’s ability.
Yes, then this, ‘And if not all the while, then every so often, reminding myself that the stage is a stage, and the actors are shadows, and the audience are wraiths.’ I often remind myself to observe from my natural level (macro) and delay the reaction to my observation of the shadow acts…
Especially this, ‘And that my mind is mine, and my soul is God’s, and that onward is the only way forward, and that the only way out is through…’. This is where tenacity and determination comes in, with all the gifts from God.
‘At some point, we need to turn around, and glimpse the truth of the greatest story ever told.’ Because, in our fallen world at this point in the construct of time, it is!
God bless you, Fearless Tiger, for you and those with whom you work have been exceedingly gifted for the work and roles you fulfill. Until I found how young you are, I wondered if our generation would be the last to know a great measure of freedom (compared with all known history), but then I realized that I can never second guess God. He always prepares a way and gifts those He uses to succeed. You, my young gifted tiger, are one of those.
God bless you and your loved ones during this year and beyond.🙏🙏
I love this! It’s one of your best writings imo. You captured all the senses of this current season. Thank you for putting it into words that help define all the feels: Observer and player. Shadows on the wall. Staying true to your core, not to be jerked around by the daily sights and sounds. Watchful. Diligent. Grounded. Awake. Great article BB! ❤️
Excellent as always, BB. It always heartens me to see a man let show his inner poet, as you have done here. Every player on the stage, every member of the audience, every shadowy hand has their role to play. We are at, once again, a turning point, a new age, a new Time. We have come through much, endured great suffering as a human race. For me, we have passed through several Times: many from a multitude. Now is the Time After the Weirding (when things became stranger and stranger: more and more divorced from ethical values and more and more wed to low, unworthy vices that cheapen and tarnish our beautiful souls). Now is the Time After the Turning, after many thought all might be lost but the Awakening was starting to take hold, the tide beginning to turn. Now is the Time of the Forging: when striking the hottest iron is the perfect time to create the greatest sword. That sword is our collective spirit: the word of God, which always rings true because it is sound. Thank you for everything you do, brother. WWG1WGA
I'm a fan of the Renaissance Man mentality. Art, entertainment, creative pursuits were sort of taken by the modern left and co-opted, but creation is at the heart of humanity, which is one of the core reasons "right wing" minds can seem cold and dispassionate to liberals. We need to unify the duality of Man, which will go a long way toward unifying our society. Strength begets creation. Creation begets strength.
"we" turn the tide by our individual awakenings and choices to turn away from the shadows. Of course, we want to stick together with our loved ones.... either staying comfortably or uncomfortably where we are, or trying so hard to convince them to come with us. It's hard to strike off on our own, into the unknown.
In the end, though, each of us has to realize our sovereignty and also that by taking conscious action to do some good, to move in a direction with virtuous motivations.... sometimes that feels so painful, to tear ourselves away from the illusion. Each one of us freely acting.... and I know we can and we will.
👏 yep another good one and it's been a while but I learned another new word...wraiths. So this old dog still learning new tricks. When I first started reading your stuff I was looking up words every article. Now I notice Fox hosts using your words (I only see it because my hubby is still addicted to Fox) Maybe they used them b4 but now I notice it...they're watching you, the new media, creeping up on their asses. Now if we can just level out the pay, get you kids compensated for helping to save the world
In all seriousness, thank you, Sally. It makes one look like an egomaniac for pointing it out, but ... I most certainly do notice the MSM and the Alt Media millionaire podcasters who pretend NOT to be the MSM using terminology from my work and the work of my peers like Chris Paul, not to mention siphoning research from Jon Herold, etc.
Just have to content ourselves with moving forward with first principles and morality in mind, but these comments from long-time supporters DO go noticed, and are appreciated at times when it can be frustrating.
😂glad it’s not just me! The one news (word used loosely) show I watch has a couple regulars who I swear read badlands articles! Both of them have personally interviewed DTJ in the past year, and are great patriots too. Thanks for the great article!
Don't read any Tolkien,, didn't read much @ all b4 Badlands. Textbooks in School and directions, Fine Home building magazines...Duh, Water skier...I guess boat and engine manuals. Did buy the Lord of the Rings trilogy (not even sure if that's the same thing) Haven't watched any of it yet. I'm a slow reader, dyslexic...long story, I wouldn't read. Time is not my friend, I don't have any. Guess you'll have less now that there is a BabyBB onboard ❤️
The twist and turns along with the shadows and bright lights are a daily beating for me, but thankfully we have you to plow through it all with your twisty turning glorious words! Thanks BB
So much fog of war going on there on X. Watching Elon behave the way he did was confusing and not to my liking at all, but I figured it must be some kind of op, like always. A few days later I came across this post below, that was much more disturbing. Talking about certain "Groyper" accounts (and apparently bots) being the ones who were the target of Elon's ire:
It lent a whole new layer to the situation. I do not know anything about this guy Petey at all, but apparently a legion of these Groypers, cheered on by people such as Andrew Tate and Nick Fuentes, photoshopped the face of one of Petey's young daughters onto pornography images, portraying her as being gang raped, then shared across the platform. Apparently these were many of the people losing their accounts and monetization. (I certainly hope so.)
Why Elon did not make that piece of info public I don't know. My hope is that they are using some kind of psyop to find and remove these rape/pedophilia-friendly accounts. But of course nothing is clear.
VERY confusing, which is why we need to keep all possibilities in mind.
I don't know the details of the accounts that were banned, but I will say that I have no love lost for most of the people who consider themselves "Groypers."
To me, many of them "glow" in an intel sense of the word.
Yes those accounts absolutely do smell like evil psyop, as do Tate's and many of his NPC followers. In the days since I posted that comment, Elon has also highlighted Andrew Tate. This created a new shitstorm of people posting the evil truth about that guy and his brother, so I have to look at all of this as some kind of wakeup on the part of the WHs, especially since "Elon" is likely not even him...
I really laughed at the line, “The people who spent the last week whining about infighting are also the same people they were before, only even more retarded." Am I one of those I asked myself. When it comes to Johnson, although I don’t like him, Trump does, therefore my responses have been if Trump wants him then we need to follow his lead. Does that make me retarded? I don’t really think so. The H1B Visas, after reading this my take is much different. WE are the gutsy, leaders, entrepreneurs of our future! Thank you for that! Your words never cease to amaze me BB! Thank you!
I took had to genuflect if I was one of the " retarded". But, at that level of participation, if Trump wants him, that's his choice, and I choose to follow Trump's lead. However....I am forever gonna, watch, listen, and respond if I feel justified in making my point known - retarded as I can be:):)
I’ve decided to wait and watch. I’m not sharing the negative energy that only comes from those who are actually perpetuates the chaos and have found that waiting for more to be revealed is necessary for me to understand what may or may not be true. Trump is the master at controlling the narrative and even his silence is doing just that….
“At some point, we need to turn around, and glimpse the truth of the greatest story ever told. One I suspect we were born with the buried memories of, and that we took into a sleep that very much felt like waking.”
A profound insight 🙏❤️💫
You are a beautiful example of someone who has seen the wisdom of maintaining a balance between staying informed and contemplating the higher reason for doing so…after all, the world isn’t being done to us but by us. We are shifting out of the age of victimhood.
Love your mind and the exceptional skill you have of sharing your contemplations with us ❤️🕊
BB another more direct article, you know those are my preference. So many mis-direction and deceptions, shiny objects to grasp our focus. It's no that we notice them, it's more about how long do we engage with them and allow them to distract us from what is important. We have a new beginning and a chance to create a different direction of thought that may even take us off the gameboard, and a practical application to real life. Great article, keep doing what you do... Peace...

Thanks so much, ALtab! You're one of the OG supporters of this work, and your words and encouragement aren't taken for granted.
We're gonna make a Golden Age generation that will be the most based of all.
So well said ALtab!
Amen 🙏🙏🙏❤️

We built this community largely out of necessity, and we have each other to fall back on as a mesh of awakening.
Simultaneously a whisper and subtle as a Harley with drag pipes. I love your art. Thank you.
What a great image. Thanks a lot, Kelly!

You're DEFINITELY retarded if you're reading Burning Bright.

Never a bad strategy, Deb!
Thank you.
I learned a lot these past eight years from people like yourself.
Awesome BB! What an inspiring start to 2025!
HAPPY NEW YEAR 🙏🎉🎊
Thanks Anna!
Thanks, I needed that! God Bless!!!
Thanks Ali!
EXCELLENT !!
Much appreciated!

Much appreciated, Feather.
My writings tend to come out of the psychospiritual struggles I endure, which I am sure serve as a cathartic mirror for many in this readership.
Your mind IS yours, and also part of the global and universal awareness that it interacts with. Thanks for the New Year affirmation.
Thans Steve! And thank you for your continued support of this work.

With the birth of my son, it's possible most of my pieces are going to have to be shorter and more direct! The Grow_Wizzard dream!
