Totally agree with both the comfort in seeing Spaniards with similar mindset and especially with the slow, painful process of understanding that it is truly a possibility that I might never do all those things you mention again. And although I am basically a lone wolf, I am so lucky that my mother, my brother and my best friend all are on this boat too.

Anyway, this whole mess the world has become has thrown me even deeper into the abyss of meditation and the mystical side of us, and I know there are many to whom this has happened too, so in the long run, who knows? Something better, more intimate, might have been giving their first steps for all of us renegades:)

See you around, Agustina:)

I read your accounts of life in Spain and it gives me perspective that it's not so bad in the USA where we live with only "suggested" masks at stores. Medical offices of any type are another story though. I get by with a face shield at the doctor's practice, but I was forced to put on a surgical mask at an endodontist's office. The chairs in the waiting room were covered in plastic! I started laughing. I said to the dental assistant, "Wow, people are really scared here." and she said, "I'm not." I said, "well whoever is in charge of the waiting room sure is. The chairs are covered in plastic." I have to go back in 2 weeks to finish the root canal and I want to write "Let's go Brandon!" on the mask they gave me. My husband would prefer I write something else. He suggested "virus stopper" and I said I'd draw a bunch of laughing/crying emojis underneath the words.

I am sorry you all in Spain are living in such a nightmare.

Hi, Birdingmom. Thanks for your take. It soothes me to hear accounts from people living different situations. It really does.

I´d point out that the problem is not so much that Spain is living in a nightmare. If that were the case, we would all wake up sooner or later by force. The problem is that only a handful of us live in a nightmare, while 99,99% are totally involved in the process of making this situation chronic, either by submission through fear/depression or by total gullibility regarding the official narrative (vast majority who DO believe that they´re doing temporary sacrifices in order to have their lives back...)

I understand and I am so sorry. Have you watched any of Dr. Mattias Desmet's interviews about mass formation? There is not much advice in this one as far as how to break through to these people, but it is encouraging to know that we might be able to break through to the 40% he estimates is just going along. I have saved another link for an interview with him but haven't watched it - I get more behind all the time! He suggests continuing to confront people with facts/data to try to diminish the hypnosis.

thanks for what you've shared. as purple man says, the 'scary' thing in spain is how oblivious everyone is to the fact that the official narrative does not make sense. no one questions anything and the fact that numbers are raising in europe right now is put on the unvaccinated.

thankfully, there's been no talk about mandating the vaccine to work like in italy or in the usa, but, who knows if they'll come to be. austria just banned unvaccinated people from leaving their house at all. even to buy groceries which... how can that even be constitutional?

i've also been undergoing dental treatment for the past few months and the policy there is hand sanitizer, which i pretend to use and, 'funnily' enough, a friend from the use just sent me some news from msm in which the fda warns about benzene in hand sanitizers s it's directly linked to causing leukemia in humans (!). like in your case, a mask is mandatory and you also have to rinse with some antibacterial solution before the dentist sees you. they also take your temperature. nevertheless, my dentist once asked me if it was okay if she took the lask off because she was too uncomfortable and i said 'please do', so...

I hope you're able to watch the first link with Dr. Desmet. Even though I've been seeing the mass delusional psychosis from almost the beginning, his explanation for how it comes about, who gets hypnotized and how to break through was helpful. That's what I've not been able to understand. The irrationality is SO frustrating to me and not knowing how to break through it is equally frustrating.

Your dentist comments reminded me that at the endodontist (root canal place), they didn't make me rinse my mouth out at all. I'm still trying to decide what to write on that surgical mask for when I go back in 10 days! 😁😂

Hi!

You wouldn´t believe the amount of time I devoted to confronting people with data, journalists and doctors/virologist included, either by internet, telephone or in person. The ignorance of any relevant stat or study and the authority argument they do not earn by means of reasoning has been the worst part of the pandemic madness. Behind the facade there really can be an abysmal nothing...

I haven´t heard from Dr. Desmet, but tomorrow I´ll watch them:)

Thank you very much and good night!

Yes, I can believe it, Purple Man! It starts to feel like you're beating your head against the wall until it feels good.

You're welcome, I hope it's helpful.
