Again, what a display of poetic, vibrant and beautiful pictures that you paint with words! I’m deeply moved❤️

My mind always goes back to the movie “Matrix”, when thinking about choosing the way one wants to live. Red or blue?

Accept the lie - or reject it, no matter the consequences?. Slave or free?

Brave or scared??

Life (or God) has the way of testing everyone. To take the forced vaccine, so we can see our grandkids again - or not to take it and accept the loss and rejection, even by our own children?

The hour of testing came upon the whole world. I have a feeling it was just a warm up.

I fervently hope the at some point you turn "Burning Bright" into a novel or video, or movie. In my humble opinion your words are as valuable as any patriot work of the past. The powerful message that you share can hardly be ignored. These words and ideas must reach the masses. It would definitely TURN the ship.

I try every day to pass on this message. If only I had your ability to paint the picture that must be in the minds of everyone of US, but I am tiny while you are so GREAT!

Our fearless tiger is great, but his willingness to teach us the necessary skills will help mold us into more than just ‘tiny’ roles. He truly is a gift!

And remember, just as Burning Bright is teaching us, we are to teach these lessons to those who are still wiping the sleep from their eyes. This might seem a tiny role for each of us, but collectively the impact is magnified in the way that a laser amplifies light waves. Into a blinding, coherent beam that can cut through anything in its path.

“How much easier is it to sleep than to wake? “

The snooze button reshaped a lot more than we appreciate. A reflection,I think, that separates us from our predecessors.

In agreement with R Butchell above, the snooze button is also the “attitude “ that the government will solve the problem, or more government is THE solution to the problem. We were created to be problem solvers, and govern our individual lives solving problems within a moral and upright rule of law.

It takes great courage, strength and determination to be awake at this time. So many of our friends and loved ones choose to stay “blissfully” ignorant in the face of great upheaval. We are witnessing the systemic destruction of all the man-made institutions of society and the beginning of a rebirth of humanity. We are all in this together. Thank goodness for bright minds like Burning Bright to make some sense out of this chaos.

Momentum is building. I believe more & more Americans, as well as citizens of other countries, are awakened and fighting for their country, alongside their fellow patriots. We need The Tipping Point, for each citizen who has not yet awakened to the world events happening every single day, to occur nearly simultaneously in order for this tide to turn. The Turn toward a brighter future for generations to come.

I agree, Sonia. The tipping point is different for everyone, which is why a crisis cascade is on tap.

Click the 'Burning Bright' logo at the top of this page and then look for 'Archive' on the next page. It will take you to the complete list of all of his work in reverse chronological order, i.e. newest stuff at the top.

There's a lot there, so a bit of a rabbit hole, but well worth it. I go back and re-read his older posts sometimes and always learn new things in today's ever-changing contexts. Or perhaps I should say, ever-evolving narratives.

As always beautifully written. Sleeping is the easy way out. For some the Truth is too devastating. It’s easier to be tricked/conned than to ever admit being tricked/conned . Lifelong belief systems are hard to unravel and requires some deep inner work to release and let go of the false foundation upon which one has built a life. Slowly but surely the masses are seeing the deception…it’s up to each individual to decide to fully awaken or go back to sleep.

Love your work and much needed insight.

Thanks so much, Kathleen. Being awake is difficult at first, but it is also its own reward.

I love the nautical analogy of the great ship turning toward the future that all decent humans deserve. I like to use the example of the large galley ships which were principally propelled by human effort. When enough people are pulling at the oars together, both port and starboard, in complete and dedicated cooperation and coordination, it matters not who's barking orders from above or who's manning the tiller. We the people determine the direction we wish to go. The USS America is a very large ship and it doesn't turn on a dime. But she's gradually turning. The bearing is clearly shifting. We're on our way back home...

The snooze allows us to delay the inevitable and deny the new day. We reluctantly drag ourselves toward the future rather than embrace it. Our unhappiness with our world we created is evident in that simple action.

Reading your work, BB, has me absolutely convinced that you are being led and inspired by God/The Holy Spirit. You reach us in a way that can only be from a divine source. I do believe you are a conduit for God's word, to inspire us, uplift us, and encourage us. Your work is truly a remarkable gift and I am deeply grateful. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

There are times in history when people didn't realize how important their part in it was until after it was written if they were still alive of course...but Burning Bright, you here right now with your spectacular visual writing have made us realize that we don't have to wait for history to be written to know how important we are because we are making history right now.

"To everything - turn, turn, turn

There is a season - turn, turn, turn

And a time to every purpose under heaven

A time to gain, a time to lose

A time to rend, a time to sew

A time for love, a time for hate

A time for peace, I swear it's not too late!"

-- The Byrds, "Turn, Turn, Turn" (1965); words by Pete Seeger based on the Book of Ecclesiastes, song reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart

!!! Love this analogy. We are enchanted. How many of our grandparents long for the good old days when there weren’t mass shootings and foul mouthed politicians and social media? When underneath, the rot was of a different form, but equally as damaging and disgusting, politicians/criminals lying to the person who wanted a home, a family, and freedom and security?

We are the hobbits -the most unlikely ones to save the world, step by step to Mordor, carrying a heavy burden. I remember that even the man in the picture at the beginning of this article, Boromir, was enchanted by the ring and sought to steal it from Frodo. Thank you again for your inspiration 😊

I Love this! Was thinking the same thing over the past few days!

Boromir’s treacherous heart was turned at the last—when finally, thoroughly humbled in body and spirit, his pride was vanquished and he was able to think clearly and seek forgiveness. That scene moved us so because we loved Boromir, saw in him that nobility that could have been, and then just as it was fully emerged, he was gone. That they so greatly honored him in his death was pure beauty.

Signed,

A fellow hobbit.

When I was a kid, I didn't like Boromir. Now, his story is perhaps my favorite in the series.

That was a sad scene. I loved him too; it was so sad when he died even though I'd read the book and knew. And to end the movie that way! Ouch!

Once again you have described beautifully what is really happening in this war.

‘I believe this trauma-catharsis dichotomy is not only what the American people—what the world—needs in order to first shake the sleeping masses from their doomed malaise, but also to make sure that whatever collective celebration occurs on the backend of this Awakening process does not sink into the realm of reverie, but rather maintains its momentum and its effect for generations hence.’

When you addressed the necessity of the ‘bad news’ false narratives in order to ‘accept’ more easily the truth later, my lightbulb flickered on bright! I had not known about your writings before last fall, but have been going back to your previous posts as they expose the tools and methods you’ve taught us to better prepare each of us in whatever role we play. Each layer you teach is built upon the previous one and this process makes our foundation stronger.

I completely agree with you that this is the necessary path we must take in order to preserve the changes that are coming. I, too, am a fan of JRR Tolkien. More than any other story, it demonstrates how much each of us (like Frodo and Sam) has a part to play. Individually and collectively these actions matter.

God bless you and thank you for sharing your brilliant mind with us. All you teach matters!

Very much appreciated, ALtab. As I expand and develop my own cognitive cypher, I am trying to expand the publication so it is more useful for you folks.

"It isn’t about a forced or engineered reveal of some new truth, or even of [their] lies, but rather a forced remembering of the way things have always been, and the way things will always be."

That really stood out for me, how much have we been told it is not just about stopping what is going on now, but preventing this from happening again. But even if all of the DS motives end up being completely shut down, they will always be there, doing what they do, and we have to make sure we are always doing what we can to defend that and teach the next generations to do the same. However, the further we get away, the easier to forget, something I think the book "The Fourth Turning" delves into. Why do they attack or history, because they don't want us to remember. Remembering our past is essential to keeping the evil at bay.
