Kurt Vonnegut On Activities

Kurt Vonnegut At Typewriter

“When I was 15, I spent a month working on an archeological dig. I was talking to one of the archeologists one day during our lunch break and he asked those kinds of “getting to know you” questions you ask young people: Do you play sports? What’s your favorite subject? And I told him, no I don’t play any sports. I do theater, I’m in choir, I play the violin and piano, I used to take art classes.

And he went, “WOW. That’s amazing!” And I said, “Oh no, but I’m not any good at ANY of them.”

And he said something then that I will never forget and which absolutely blew my mind because no one had ever said anything like it to me before: “I don’t think being good at things is the point of doing them. I think you’ve got all these wonderful experiences with different skills, and that all teaches you things and makes you an interesting person, no matter how well you do them.”

And that honestly changed my life. Because I went from a failure, someone who hadn’t been talented enough at anything to excel, to someone who did things because I enjoyed them. I had been raised in such an achievement-oriented environment, so inundated with the myth of Talent, that I thought it was only worth doing things if you could “Win” at them.” – Kurt Vonnegut

(Tom: While there is merit solely in having a wide range of fields in which you have experience and I have no argument with doing things for the simple pleasure of doing them, there is also significant value in the exigencies required to excel in a field to a professional standard. Not necessarily to be in competition with anyone but the necessary observation, discipline and learning that comes from the requirement to excel breeds a causative mindset.)

STOP THE FEAR MONGERING!

Nic Lucas writes:

Just remember that where there’s a front, there is a back.

Today I see it reported that there were 206,193 tests and 830 ‘cases’ in NSW.

Not to diminish the stark reality for those in hospital and ICU…

But to provide some uplifting news…

830/206,193 is 0.4% ‘cases’.

But we also need to remember what a case is in this context.

It’s a positive test result for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 virus, NOT a positive test for Covid-19, the disease caused by the virus in some people.

So if they say 830 cases of ‘Covid’, they’re taking a linguistic shortcut.

Covid is a clinical diagnosis, accompanied by symptoms and a positive test result, and is made by a doctor.

So the great news is that out of 206,193 people, 99.6%, or 205,363 of them don’t have Covid and didn’t even test positive for SARS-CoV-2… …and that’s WITH delta.

I think that’s worth celebrating.

In addition to this, I see it reported that since June 16, 2021 (current outbreak) there have been 71 deaths and 12,217 positive tests.

71/12,217 = 0.58%

This is also worth celebrating because that means of all 12,217 who have tested positive to SARS-CoV-2 (delta) since June, 99.42% have survived and made it out alive, so far.

Let’s hope we keep this up here in Australia.

Breathe.

Peace.

Carrot and Celery Salad From Registered Nutritionist Kylie McCarthy

Carrot and Celery Salad

For now, let’s pop up this lovely raw vegetarian salad to go with your choice of protein LOL.

Did you know you have a shikimate pathway? And that pathway has a pinch point. Below that pinch point is your ability to:
1/ Make 3 amino acids- Tryptophan, Phenylalanine and Tyrosine- which is a requirement in making your feel good neurotransmitter DOPAMINE.
2/ Our sense and ability to smell aromas.
3/ Our ability to see colors vividly.

Spike proteins block that pinch point- effectively inhibiting you from being able to do/create those 3 things properly.

That was 30 seconds of a 3 hr zoom meeting I attended coming out of Texas, on May 26 of this year. Since MAY 26 i have been sharing THAT program – not seen here, or anywhere publicly – with clients. I consider myself VERY blessed and lucky to also have access to this program and the information I do on a daily basis with an incredible group of intellects fighting the good fight – and give thanks for my life everyday – I really do, even in these challenging times, I know I am on the right path – the one of truth, and im feeling joy.

(FYI- i am not classing myself as an intellect- their capabilities are well beyond my scope of grasp in THIS lifetime, I am simply blessed to have access to these people of integrity of whom I can trust – literally with my life).

You need to block spike proteins from entering your cells. That’s hard considering spike proteins are everywhere and have been for sale on the internet for years.

So what can you do to prevent damage from spike proteins? You can consume foods with Shikimate.

YES, THERE IS AN ENTIRE PROTOCOL YOU CAN CONTACT ME FOR TO LEARN MORE ABOUT IN A CONSULTATION.

Posting on this social media page about this has its risks- it is not where to post the truth and my time is very limited on the book, let me tell you.

The protocol also instructs how to extract shikimate so you don’t poison yourself. But for now, let’s pop up this lovely raw vegetarian salad to go with your choice of protein LOL.

There is a reason I chose to make a salad and, it is actually really yummy given it is full of hemp seeds, tahini and chives! Calcium and beta-carotene rich, full of healthy fat and alkalizing.

Power to the People – if only the people knew it!

Recipe
4 large carrots
3 large celery sticks
100 grams hemp seeds
4 tablespoons tahini
Chives
Juice of 1 lemon
Handful fresh parsley
2 tablespoons nutritional yeast

Put carrots and celery into the food processor and chop finely
Transfer to a large bowl
Add lemon juice
Mix thoroughly
Stir in hemp seeds, chives, parsley and tahini
Taste and add more tahini if desired

Enjoy!
