At Cold Mountain Institute, this would be called “a share.” If you’d allow me…. I seem to need to discuss some editorial matters, not so much for your understanding as to help me put everything on the table to see what it is I’m dealing with.
To pick up the thread I have going on with myself, I’ve never known how various articles have been received. Now, all of a sudden, I notice that WordPress has created another column on their “Posts” page saying how many folks have read an article.
Instantly I learned one thing. The daily updates (From Darkness Unto Light) are read consistently by around 800 people and that surpasses all other articles – except one: The breaking news of global importance can receive as many as 900 views!
My own articles do not reach those levels and I’m entirely OK with that.
BUT it totally turned my view of the situation on its head. Previously my inner conversation had been: “This is important but most people will think I’ve abandoned spirituality by covering it. Of course I haven’t. Most of my own articles have been on spiritual subjects but they don’t command nearly as much attention as news of the war with the deep state. Therefore my worry is groundless.”
I’m happy to see that – and relieved of a worry – because, as an awareness writer, I need to write about what’s actually happening and the war between the Light and the dark is what’s actually happening.
Also, I’ve always been a protector of the underdog. I had a military life just shy of two millennia ago and do feel a leaning toward that kind of protective action. Another way of saying that is that I respond when I see someone being mistreated. Anyways, there is that leaning towards protective action.
But as a person who, at the same time, has experienced real, actual, transformative love, I often can hardly keep my feet on the ground, metaphorically speaking. (1) That part of me I feel fine about and can leave to rock on.
But I just feel a tremendous relief that you show such interest in contemporary happenings as well.
That’s all. I feel a great weight off my shoulders in that I’m supplying you with what you show you want and what I want to be showing. The alignment of the two brings a certain peace to me.

Our stats turn out to be a way that you and we communicate. Not a subject you’re interested in? We get to choose what subjective ground in the blogosphere we want to cover, independent of anyone.
BUT a competing influence on us is that no one wants to be speaking with no one else listening. And we do need to earn our keep, by serving lightworkers’ desires for relevant information, filtered through a spiritual lens.
I see that stats are also a window into our “demographic.” Now I’m curious. It’s as if you were saying, no, I didn’t like that one. A single thumbs-down on one article is not hugely informative, but a pattern…. We get to know you through this lens along with other indicators.
Can’t leave out a limiting factor. Aside from the financial, the largest limiting factor on me is the extent of my research. There’s no time for research of any deep extent any more, with directed-energy weapons blazing and drones killing surrendered soldiers.
In 2007 I retired from the Immigration and Refugee Board and was free to read and write whatever I wanted to once again.
Up to that point my research had been on enlightenment. It did not reach deeply into the cabal. And I more often followed the white hats since that time, not as much the dark hats.
So many people try to disguise the fact that they have limits to their knowledge. They try to translate their commentary in the field of their expertise into influence in a much larger field.
It’s always a temptation but to do so would so undercut the foundation of my writing that my kind of writing after that would become unsustainable.
The thought comes up and is dropped and comes up…. Remind me of this pitfall if I forget.
OK, OK, I needed to get that on the table. Only half for your understanding. Half for me to see what it is I’m dealing with.
What I’ve been dealing with is an unresolved fear that I’m putting something out, day after day, that isn’t wanted. That doesn’t interest me very much.
Unexpressed joy is an upset. What has been upsetting me until now is that I have not expressed my joy at seeing that we’re in alignment.
