Thanks Jon. Sitting here with cancer at 63 I often feel crazed that I don't have the energy to do what I wish I could. And yet I can always write, even if no one reads it. Or post a podcast. Something. I have to ask myself what I would do if I didn't have cancer, and just go ahead and do it. But you know what? I'm scared, cancer or not. And that's the bottom line. Once fear overwhelms the desire to act or even speak, they've got you. I look at your work and admire the energy and talent you bring to the fight, but most of all it's the absence of fear that strikes me. And I imagine if it were the same for me.

Dear Teresa,

At 63 and in ill health, you have made me feel there is a genuine person out there. I am not claiming to be one of them, however, I can still tell the difference. I agree, Jon is fearless in his articles, he jostles my mind, so I support his work.

Readers, like yourself, make remarks, about fear and the longing to be more, that may not be the tornado unleashed of Jon's, but, it speaks to common people like myself. It may seem small, but, so are significant waves in the deep but can break into an unstoppable tsunami when the conditions are right.

You have made the move to reach out and share your humanity, we will read and recognize ourselves in your words. We move in sympathy, together, the wave begins. Perhaps, this time the eventual tsunami will wash away some of the tyranny and create a system that nurtures the best, rather than, extorts the what the elitists can, from us all.

Thanks for sharing.

Dear browntsunami, What a stunning, beautiful surprise to find. One just never knows who will resonate with what a person might think is an inconsequential thought to anyone but me. That the effect of recognition by a stranger can feel magical and so appreciated... thank you.

What you have shared should never be inconsequential. We may at times not realized that we are in this together, when we are privileged to see our humanity in others like yourself, it can be a moment of unity with your experience, but, more importantly, with experience of all my beloved brothers and sisters, for we are in this together and we are one. If you did not share, I would never have had that realization. For me, that can never be inconsequential. My thanks again for your courage.

Hi Teresa ~ So sorry ! My advice: start watching 'near death experience' videos... which in fact are 'death experiences' . Pam Reynolds, Dr Mary Neal, David Bennet, Joe McMoneagle.... My master's synthesis was on this topic...if you are interested in reading it you can contact me through email at VisitHigherGround.com. The biggest lie they have told is that we are 'wet computers' we are spirits having a human experience. But if science confirmed it they would no longer be able to rule by fear as the fear of death/unknown is their trump card.
