Year-in and year-out, it’s comparatively easier to assemble the February-March Winter Issue. Why you wonder? Well, the overriding themes are Relationships and Sex. Need I say more? (Maybe not, but I’ve got to fill this page).

The reality is that everything is relationship— our partners, parents, children, co-workers, teammates, companion animals, places, things, and even with ourselves. How we respond, both outwardly and inwardly, define these relationships.

Paramount to any meaningful relationship is authenticity. Presenting our real selves to the world, acting from our heart and speaking our truth, creates fulfilling connections. While writing this piece, I heard Oprah Winfrey say “… speaking our truth is the most powerful tool we all have.” One would think this to be selfevident. Sadly, in practice, far too many folks hide behind multiple masks to fit into the trend du jour—and oftentimes of a more sobering nature, hiding out of fear.

In this issue, Salena Migeot counsels us to Speak Up—or Be Silently Complicit. And now many are “speaking up.” A new day has dawned: the #MeToo movement is currently the loudest evidence.

Elsewhere, people are speaking out against the systemic medical tyranny fostered by Big Pharma. Documentaries (covered in CREATIONS this past year) are giving public voice to thousands of parents whose children have been damaged by vaccinations (The Truth About Vaccines; and Vaccines Revealed); and proof of the efficacy of a multitude of alternative, natural and safe healing modalities (The Truth About Cancer).

Let’s speak of centuries-old governmental suppression: Any word or deed we don’t oppose, we ultimately condone. But the masses refrain from questioning the status quo keeping “complicity silent” for fear of reprisal. Shaming, a most effective method for quelling dissent, is Standard Operating Procedure. When “W” was in office, he exhorted that if you weren’t completely on board with every U.S. military tactic employed, (“we’re gonna smoke ‘em out”) you were “with the terrorists.” Real “patriots” need not be concerned with collateral damage (dead and maimed civilians), the euphemism popularized during the Vietnam debacle.

Question the official explanation of the collapse of the World Trade Center (including Building 7 that was never touched) and you are a “Conspiracy Theorist.” Wayne Dyer provided my favorite definition for this name-calling/ shaming: A conspiracy theorist is a derogatory term for a critical thinker. Please send this compliment my way anytime.

“Inconveniently,” a contingent of over 2,000 Architects & Engineers (AE911 Truth) thoroughly examined the evidence. But the pesky thing about this evidence for these experts is that “the symmetrical collapse of all WTC skyscrapers, according to the official story, violates the laws of physics and thermodynamics.” Over 200 years ago, John Adams—historically considered to be a patriot—offered this: Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passion, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence. Those darn facts really know how to ruin a good story!

Regardless of the divisiveness emanating from the White House these days, heartcentered folks would likely agree that relationships are best nurtured through consideration and compassion—the always in-style “Golden Rule.” Several years ago a close friend gifted me a button that poses three questions we might do well to consider before making a statement concerning another person:

1) Is it true? 2) Is it kind? 3) Will it help? If your thoughts cannot pass through all three of these gates, it is probably best left unsaid.

Namaste,
Neil and Andrea
