There are more things in Heaven and Earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy. ~ William Shakespeare, Hamlet
After spending the last couple of months merrily (but quietly) debunking Truther sacred cows like “mask-wearing public figures,” I’ve been mentally discarding what is so unlikely as to be impossible in our current reality.
Grok is the ultimate debunker companion, but also the ultimate dream guide. “OK, forget what mainstream historical sources say. Let’s pretend Tartaria was real! What was it like?” I can ask anything, and if I’m careful to specify the approach I want, fascinating and compelling results spool out in the form of pixel words at tickertape speed.
While it’s been fun to ride the coattails of visionaries who’ve woven elaborate Truther tapestries, the joyride takes a turn into Disappointment Lane if I invest in the wholesale validity of these stories. There’s a saying, “Don’t be so openminded that your brains fall out,” and that caution overlights my approach.
If my common sense balks at someone’s completely-unsupported-by-facts take on What Is, I can acknowledge the fascinating possibilities without buying into them. We all need our dreams. I aim to be curious and open to possibilities, preferably based on my understanding of current realities, but I’m ready to be delighted by marvelous things not in my philosophy.

Where does this contrarian pragmatism leave me within the community of spiritual seekers, wholehearted Ascension believers, and passionate Truthers chattering nonstop about accountability? An outlier, unwelcome in those ranks? Someone bringing a downer dose of get real, man, to the party of 5D-is-almost-here?
I hope there’s room for all of us on this multidimensional, multifaceted train of truth. I’m sure that my attitude will not deter anyone hell-bent on believing every flat-earth, mask-wearing, Tartaria-was-real tale that comes their way.
And if my pragmatism is proven to be the fantasy, and I find out that the Earth IS flat, Tartaria WAS real, and Joe Biden WAS an actor in a mask (or a clone, which does seem possible)…Well, what a delightful surprise! It would be fun to know that such outlandish impossibilities actually were so. And that I didn’t need to believe in them for them to materialize.
We’re all free to believe, disbelieve, and stir up our cauldrons of possibilities as much as we like. Ultimately, the world as we experience it is entirely personal, a lifelong one-act play in which we are playwright, director, and star. I don’t begrudge anyone’s fervent Truther vision; I’m sure the Venn diagram where their beliefs intersect with mine has, at its center, the God of all of us.
