It seems that for every three steps forward, we take two back. Or, perhaps we take four steps back. I am often dismayed that the giant strides made in the 1960’s and 1970’s have been undermined by large corporate interests. My children were born at home, with midwives – the way that babies have come into the world for centuries. I did not immunize my children, knowing that our bodies are innately intelligent and that a strong immune system was the key to maintaining optimal health. I believed at that time that the world was finally coming to its senses. Women would go back to birthing their babies at home and breast feeding them. We could sign a waiver indicating that we did not wish to vaccinate our children. Roe versus Wade provided for women’s right to choose. It was a time of hope for women, for children, and for a life free from governmental controls. Slowly, but surely, we were releasing the stranglehold that men and churches have had over us for two thousand years.
There is concern by some, that all citizens may be required to receive a vaccination for Covid19, regardless whether the vaccine actually prevents anything. We all know that viruses mutate and that vaccines are less than 50% effective. People are often made ill by the vaccines themselves. Walgreens that sit on every major street corner in America stands to profit billions of dollars. Are we going to just sit at home and allow Big Pharma to dictate our lives? Scientists are working on creating a chip to insert in every person, to track us and ensure that we comply with the wishes of the controlling wealth. (Thank you, Bill Gates, for using your billions to keep the general public ignorant and compliant.) I am concerned. I am suspicious and distrusting of our government and of the media. After all, millions of people were kept in the dark while millions of Jews were being slaughtered in concentration camps.
We need to remain alert to what is actually happening in our world. We must be prepared to fight for our inalienable rights, should the threat of losing them, become a concern. But it is bigger even than our own existence here. Every species, every plant and animal, our water, our air, and our soil are affected by the wealth that is controlling the world. It is time to take another stride forward. We must remain vigilant to those things that threaten not only women’s rights and humanity, but the entire world. The modern world has been built with a faulty foundation; where humans were seen as separate from nature, rather than as part of it. Our present world was created from hollow greed. The foundation is about to crumble. We must take a stride that is large enough to leap over the sinkhole, which has been left in the wake of industrialism. We must rebuild with a foundation of integrity, honesty, and justice. We must become the steps for younger generations to climb, in humanity’s infinite evolutionary spiral.
