You blink, and a month goes past…
Just as I was about to write my May blog, I was called back to Melbourne for my aunt’s funeral. She was my favourite aunt, the one we grew up with, mother of the cousins we played with every alternate weekend. Like my father, she was born in Egypt and French was her first language; Arabic was just spoken on the streets.

My aunt’s Middle Eastern meals were always flavoursome and delicious, her character playful and strong. She and my uncle established one of the most loving, unified families I have ever witnessed, in stark contrast to my own, where my mother’s war trauma eroded our family unit. My sisters and I are now very close but we were each deeply affected by the tensions we grew up with.
While I suspect that my aunt’s sudden, advanced leukaemia was jab-related, I don’t know for sure. However, there is no doubt that the statistics are now flooding in about the dangers of the ‘vaccine’ as death rates for all ages spike. (Let me know if you want some evidence – there’s so much, I’m assuming most people have access to it.)
My favourite uncle passed away in 2020 and, being lockdown, I was unable to attend the funeral. In fact, his own sons- and daughter-in-law had to skulk around in the trees near the graveside as only ten could attend the funeral. A crime against humanity in itself. By comparison, it was wonderful to be mingling with the hundred or so people who had loved and would miss my aunt.
But I was stunned, as ever, by the relative who remarked to me at my aunt’s minyan (Jewish prayers for the deceased) that she was shocked that so many people in such close proximity were not wearing masks! This relative comes from a highly-educated family, and while I know that a university education is no guarantee of common sense (and often even an enemy of it), I am always stunned when intelligent adults cannot perceive the fraud that was perpetrated on us.
That said, I was asleep until recently, too. Fortunately I recognised the fraud and have since been waking up by degree, though I still have a long way to go to truly consider myself ‘awake’. As I mentioned at our last My Place Jimboomba event, we can’t call ourselves awake until we are also taking full responsibility for the current state of the world and not blaming others for it. We co-created it, whether by acts of commission or omission.
I’ve been learning from an ex-military law/lore educator over the last couple of months who views current events as a spiritual journey from ‘me-consciousness’ to ‘we-consciousness’. (That doesn’t mean into socialism/communism-consciousness; it means our understanding that we are One, and therefore, what I do to you, I do to myself. Or, as the old trope goes, ‘where we go one, we go all’. The spirit of the Age of Aquarius.)
I know that I have spent most of my life in ‘me-consciousness’ simply because the injustice and madness I witnessed in the world seemed too big and impossible to influence; it was easier to just ignore it and do my best to live as responsibly and respectfully as I could in my own small patch. But that won’t cut it anymore. We have to reach beyond ourselves and look after each other, and together, the Aquarian ‘humanitarian, co-operative’ energy and the crises that are emerging are ensuring we do just that.
My Demartini studies provided the first real wake-up call to me about ‘owning the mirror’. I will be eternally grateful to Dr John Demartini for what I have learnt from him and other teachers inspired by his Method. The last few years unsettled me a little as I came to grips with what was actually happening in the world. Now I’m reorienting myself to the principle that, rather than calling the cabal characters ‘scum’ who should be hung, as so many activists are doing, we need to remember that We Are One, including them. They are acting out our shadow selves.

Common Law operates by the principles: ‘Do No Harm’ and ‘Act Honourably.’ Many spiritual traditions teach us to love (God’s) Creation, which includes all of humanity and the animal and plant kingdoms.
As Dr Zach Bush says: “A universal moment of forgiveness is needed” rather than the typical activist position of polarising into “we’re good and they’re bad.” If we enough of us transform our consciousness in this way, we will activate ‘quorum sensing’, a behaviour observed at a cellular level that when enough of a population becomes aware of something the whole group changes. The ‘Middle Way’ is the centre point of balanced perception, which is love.
Hippocrates also presented the principle, ‘Do No Harm’, which is the key message of my musical, HIPPOCRyTIC OATH (working title). The first draft is complete and I’ve received very positive feedback from the Dramaturg and Script Editor. Watch this space for news of the next stage (‘scuze the pun)!
I hope you are flourishing. Please reach out to me if there is any way I can be of assistance.
