The vaccine story leads me down another cold path ❄️
Due to my big mouth & opinion about mandatory vaccinations I am now experiencing quite a testing time as a consequence.
For the last 3 nights I have had to get up at 3am to stand outside in unseasonably freezing temperatures in order to get my internet time. We’ve just moved house and with no 3G connection and no internet box till Thursday the only place to pick it up now is at our old home, 100m down the road.
The trouble is I am trying to avoid the man who lives there due to a recent conversation regarding vaccinations which led him to become impolite, not dissimilar to the doctor who created the conversation by telling us we were ‘ignorant & uncultured’ earlier that day because we had chosen not to vaccinate our children.
After moving from Bali to France we lived with our friend for a month while we looked for somewhere more permanent and I thought our host would enjoy hearing about our experience with the local doctor. I thought wrong.
I’ve known him a few years now and after successfully discussing the flat earth theory without him getting upset I assumed he would be open to the vaccine discussion.
But just like it was for the doctor there was an instant angry reaction to my simple words.
Why would this be?
What is it that turns a man from an open minded non-judgemental caring individual into an angry person? The way his energy changed in the moment he learned about my decision to not vaccinate the kids was HUGE! He could no longer look me in the eye and went red with rage while giving me the same modern medicine speech as his doctor friend.
The answer is the media.
He follows the same pattern as so many with his media habits.
- Newspaper every day.
- His favourite (politically orientated) magazine at the weekend.
- Radio news at work.
- TV news night.
I can see no other reason why he would react in such an extreme way to this subject which he openly admitted he had not researched.
I have not ingested any of the above media list for around four years now and feel so very much better for it.
In a nutshell
The news serves only to influence the way we think (making us believe we have a good understanding of a subject) and is not in any way an accurate reflection of the world. Mainstream media appears to us as a diverse range of options giving us the feeling of choice, but is in fact coming from one centralised and very controlled source. A source which has a big vested interest in controlling the way we think around a plethora of subjects, vaccines being just one.
I tried to explain this to my friend but this only pissed him off even more!
His anger then seemed to extend out towards my two year old son Esteban, speaking to him aggressively, suggesting that he would be punished if he didn’t eat his food when he was told… which wan’t true.
I felt a little sad in that moment, for this subject had suddenly created a rift in the energy between us, potentially forever. I am grateful however that we already had the keys to our new home and we were able to leave the next day.
Them & Us
Ever more conscious I become of this growing divide between them and us. I must hold my hands up to this one and acknowledge that I didn’t have to mention our experience with the doctor. In hindsight I clearly shouldn’t have done it. The world is not as it once was and I must control my desire to excitedly share with everyone the energy of my moment. Selected friends only!
In Conclusion
Be conscious of your media consumption. Is it influencing your behaviour? If so, does your new behaviour feel good to you? Perhaps try some time off from the news and see what happens.
My own experience has been one of vibrational liberation. I understand now the importance of where we are placing our attention in every moment and since removing the horror of the ongoing atrocities around the world from my consciousness I have been able to better attract that which I am seeking.
Opinions will always divide people. Nothing new there.
What is new is my routine!
- 3am wake & write & steemit post
- 5am walk to old house & freeze my arse off getting my internet hit
- 6am leave before he wakes up
This leaves the rest of the day for me to enjoy some quality family time in our new home whilst pushing my body to endure sub zero temperatures at night… which I understand is actually quite good for us!
Happy days :)
Big love from France 🇫🇷
Took this moments ago, 5.40am snow on the ground... feet getting cold now!
The path of truth is often a lonely one. You are hardly to blame for the growing divide. The mental and emotional conditioning runs deep. I admire the ones that speak their mind in spite of the condemnation that might come along with it. Someone has to do it afterall. Keep up the great effort and keep speaking the truth!
It sure does run deep. Too deep for many to see. I am cautious now about speaking my truth to everyone and in this case I misjudged the situation. He's clearly not ready for this message and it is not my place to persuade him. Just a shame it led to rudeness.
Have all but forgotten what it is to feel lonely. Even here in France where no one speaks my language I feel good now... as long as I get my internet hit every now and then ;)
Installation day tomorrow!
I've heard the same word as a description of our lifestyle; "ignorant" and decided this might make quite a funny Truther-Tshirt.
IGNORANT.
Uneducated.
Unknowledgeable, untaught, unschooled, untutored, untrained, illiterate, unlettered, unlearned, unread, uninformed, unscholarly, unqualified, benighted, backward.
Discourteous or rude.
Impolite, ill-mannered, bad-mannered, unmannerly, ungracious, discourteous, insensitive, uncivil, ill-humoured.
(We are enlightened truthers, SuperHero SunGazers; not "polite" slaves ;)
haha! Brilliant Sebby.
Internet up and running now.
Time for some voice connection again bother ;)
Loving the commitment to self-expression, truth and sharing the essence of what matters with a receptive audience. Steem on! And keep warm. Love hearing I'm not the only one whose vehemently held and shared opinions sometimes burn social bridges. :)
Struggled last night to stay out there more than 15mins and experiencing stiffness in my neck for having cramped up in the cold for so long each night! Thankfully the internet should arrive with us tomorrow and I can get back to a more comfortable schedule ;)
Big Pharma Co. Has License Suspended As Vaccine Sterilizes 500,000 Girls

Thanks for this link! Was aware of this story from long time ago but now it seems much more certain to be true. My sister lives in Kenya. Wonder if she may have some wisdom to offer on this...
Not sure I concur with your Them & Us conclusion - if another person is intolerant of your informed opinion, the onus ought to fall to them to reserve or modify opinion, not you to silence yours - unless of course you are challenging or threatening them.
And that of course is the issue - if someone's belief system is threatened or undermined, their whole world comes tumbling down, including their blind trust in patriarchy and what the doctor and media call fact, otherwise my whole life is fraudulent!
Thank god for a few discerning dissenters who understand the appalling misuse of science and power that goes into scaring people into one toxic medicine for all - vaccination!
Yes, I don't really enjoy the them & us feeling and would never be rude to someone because of their life choices. But when people are rude to me I feel as if a wall goes up between us and some kind of media induced picture of us is created in their mind which seems to justify the wall.
Speaking about this subject on Facebook I was receiving threats to my life and private messages from lots of angry people... all because I wanted to share my perspective of the world with them.
Very grateful that here on Steemit I don't have the same problem :)
Yeah, seems there's a great deal of intolerance out there which is frankly ignorant and tragic - I too have been hurt by people's misinterpretations of my own perceptions, but then again, I heard a wise person say, "What anyone else thinks of me is none of my business!" ;) So on we go on our merry way, offering up our pearls come what may!
Wow, hope you get internet soon.
Thanks! Tomorrow will hopefully be that happy day. This crazy routine apparently is doing some damage to my neck muscles, being cramped in the cold for an hour every night!
therein lies the road to truth... it sucks and man, there are days when I just want to scream at people, lol.
d
Know what you mean ;)
I just keep on reminding myself it's not their fault...
