China doesnโ€™t have to declare war or fire a missile because the west is destroying themselves. How? The Net Zero policies that are causing self-inflicted economic damage in the West besides destroying their manufacturing businesses. And whilst the West is doing that, China systematically profits from it. Particularly from Australia. 

The Chinese powers that be must sit back and give themselves a pat on the back at just how much smarter they are. They weakened the West because of COVID and now theyโ€™re cashing in on the Westโ€™s slavish addiction to the Religion of Net Zero. 

China controls the bulk of the mining and processing of rare earth minerals; 70% of the worldโ€™s rare earths mining & 90% of the worldโ€™s rare earths processing. 

They manufacture the steel, the solar panels and the turbines sold to the west to build installations. They even OWN a significant percentage of the renewable energy installations in Australia, including the one in Wellington, NSW, which I raised yesterday. And sometimes, theyโ€™re even the energy retailers; Energy Australia & Alinta being two of them. And us poor tax payers even pay the Chinese massive subsidies for the privilege. 

We have experienced several times Chinaโ€™s reaction to decisions or comments that our various Govtโ€™s have made over the years. As when weโ€™ve closed our last fossil fuel plant, how easy it would be for them to cease supply and turn off the lights should โ€˜weโ€™ displease them?

No one will ever convince me that this makes sense for the very reason it simply doesnโ€™t, not to me anyway.

We must never sacrifice our freedom โ€ฆ

We were born free and we must fight to the death to remain free. And that includes being free to express our opinions. To share our beliefs and challenge those in authority. That particularly applies to Government and the bureaucrats who advise them. And to remind Government representatives that they are the servants of the people, not our masters.

Sharing opinions and questioning the decisions of those in authority can be challenging, particularly on social media. Some people will agree. Some will be angered or embarrassed (particularly government). Some may learn something they werenโ€™t aware of, a point that has been expressed to me several times. And dare I say some people will be offended. Thatโ€™s what happens in a free society and tolerant society. We must never allow intolerance, embarrassment, anger, or offence to be used as tools to take our rights away.

Sometimes we just need to be stillโ€ฆ..

โ€œOut beyond ideas of wrongdoing and right-doing, there is a field. Iโ€™ll meet you there. When the soul lies down in that grass, the world is too full to talk about.โ€ ~ Rumi.

I love that quote and it is a reminder that we live in a world where every action and thought is judged by someone. These excessive judgments weigh us down and make us feel heavy-hearted and unsatisfied. Particularly on social media when comment results far too often in such vicious assaults.

But while we are naturally judging and discerning human beings, sometimes it is just wonderful to allow the radiance of the universe to permeate our consciousness and just be, and just let go.

We are always making distinctions and labeling things as right and wrong, good or bad, true or untrue, and so on. Sometimes it is exhausting to carry all the burdens of excessive judgment.

When we confront that situation, we need to just take some deep breaths, sit in our favorite seated position in our sacred meditation space, and just be.

No judgment of technique.

No comparison.

No burden of the right wayโ€ฆor the wrong way..

Just descend into the sacred silence between thoughts, the place called the โ€œgapโ€ and meet our higher self in stillness. ๐ŸŒบ๐ŸŒบ
