Again, thank you Dr. Christiane for taking the time to research to give us this ‘educational opportunity’. I wasn’t aware of the Overton Window…what great background you just shared, helping to put our current affairs in context. After hearing about the reaction in Australia and hearing this follow up, it’s given me even more hope that the Overton window is reaching more and more of humanity. And yes…the forgiveness…an essential ‘muscle’ we all have to work on strengthening. ❤️.

I loved this so much that I listened to it twice, very interesting. I feel like it took an assassination on Trump for the tides to turn. My heart goes out to the family that lost their loved one and to the people that were hurt. I pray for unity and peace among all.

This is SO powerful and interesting. I've recently been communicating with an old friend who dumped me in 2020 because she didn't like my views (not that I even think she really knew what they were/are). We haven't been talking about the big controversial things as we renegotiate our friendship - but if they do come up I feel so much more stronger emotionally than back then. AND if controversial things (or people LOL) come up, I feel in much more clear and supported place to explain to her what I mean. Different times for sure.

I do not like Trump at all EXCEPT for the fact that he is not part of DC. I like a handful of politicians but most have lost their integrity to the lobbyists and the corporations pulling their strings for their own profits. I do think the Dems are much more dangerous as I was a bleeding heart liberal until my eyes were opened in 2020 and honestly thought they cared about their constituents. The only people who were harmed by the mandates of the left were the very people they "claim" to support. All of the small businesses that went under. All of the children that will never catch up in their education and will be forever more left to menial jobs and poverty stricken neighborhoods. The people I know had no problems with their private schools or private tutors but the average "middle" class family cannot say that. And "middle class' is entirely a mote point. The mandates swooped down and carried away the middle class leaving people beholding to their government for everything. Now that prices have sky rocketed and inflation soars from the ill advised printing of trillions of dollars with nothing to back it up we so "honorably" engage in a war. A war that will profit many people and corporations who are behind the curtains manipulating to their hearts content without any FREE press to hold them accountable. But the everyday people, those living close to the poverty line and those just managing to get by with two or three incomes, who Dems care sooo much about, will offer up their own children to do fighting for the fat cats that sit back here spouting sound bits and diverting attention away from the evil they perpetrate in the name of our nation. And we the people have lost our ability to actually think with our own minds and stand up for what is right for everyone, not just our own selfish agendas.

Now that I have gotten that off my chest. I believe the people who have used their power to ruin lives must be held accountable. Love has won. It is now our duty as Human beings to find all the little hidden crevices deep in our own hearts where we need to bring love and forgiveness. This is our REAL work and the only work that will bring about a peaceful and harmonious world.

This is such a beautiiful and powerful comment. And it is true. And btw, I used to consider myself an Independent. And a liberal. These terms have lost their meaning. And yes indeed-- those who we thought we could trust, have lost all of it. And I have been in their cross hairs since March 2020. I would like to see some justice.

I wear my "More Than 12" t-shirt with pride. Yes. Justice is needed for us to go forward.

Thank God for your courage and all of the others who stood up. There is indeed a special place in Heaven for you all

I'm going to test the window of acceptable discourse here; we'll see:

Dr. Northrup, near the end of this recording, you say:

"Love your neighbor as yourself and humanity needs to come together. By working together and supporting each other, we all remain free. That's my ideology ... Everything else is propaganda."

Yet you concur with @ProfessorLuluFuzzbean, calling us demons needing to be hanged — and Grummz, calling us unredeemable and unforgivable — and Alex Collier calling us "beings that cannot live amongst us." Or, to mitigate that derisive viciousness, merely hijacked simps going with the flow ?

Kevin Roberts helped to draft Trump's Project 2025 agenda and recently said "the second American Revolution [will] remain bloodless if the left allows it to be."

I'm sorry, that's peaceful, nonviolent, loving unity ? That's not hate ... how ?

I've heard Trump's vicious, caustic, demeaning words about his opponents, or anyone that even questions him. I just don't see how anyone can correlate this with loving thy neighbor.

A "strong moral core" is *not*, I believe, amongst Trump's character traits — and the hypnotic trance of hijacked "going-with-the-flow" prevails in all movements, parties, and cultures.

If this comment remains undeleted — or if it receives dignified and thoughtful replies — I will be impressed. But because it's you, Dr. Northrup, I hold out hope.

Thank you for this message. It is right on the horns of the dilemma. And it is indeed a paradox. Jesus taught us to turn the other cheek. But he also braided a whip and lashed the money changers in the temple. I recall Tucker Carlson talking to a woke reporter who tried to compare his carrying a gun to protect his family with condoning violence. I have learned ( the hard way), that some people are truly psychopaths-- for whatever reason. And they are beyond rehab. The book In Sheep's Clothing : Understanding and Dealing with Manipulative People points out that there are personality types that simply don't change. They are dangerous. It's about 1 in 100 people. 1 in 5 have personality traits of sociopathy. Generally speaking, empathic healer types ( which I have been) have given them the benefit of the doubt instead of holding them to account. Thus they continue to do a huge amount of damage. As a society, we have to figure out a justice system that works. And people have to see justice done. I appreciate both your and Dr Fuzzbeans comments. There is wisdom in both.

I remember hearing at some point a discussion of biblical translation of what Jesus actually meant by turn the other cheek. Apparently the translation is “ look in the other direction “ or something to that effect. Which I believe relates to what many channels refer to with the idea that we create our own reality being getting more of what we’re focused on, so don’t look at what you don’t want. Look at what you do want.(I always think of what Carolyn Myss said about how we’re meant to experience the full range of emotions, the ups and the downs, but it becomes at some point a choice of how long we stay down —-three minutes, three days, three years, three decades, etc.,) do you want to take responsibility for where you’re putting your attention and not get into the victim mode and just sit there. Pay more attention in other words to flushing out the vision of what you actually do want. just a thought I wanted to share….
