What’s Right (or what’s popular?)
As I sat in the audience of a recent event, the presenter happened to mention that she had travelled out of state recently. She described how she had gone out to dinner and had been required to show her vaccination card in order to be seated inside the establishment. “I was lucky to have remembered to take it with me!” she cheerfully shared.
The scenario she described haunted me for the remainder of the day, sometimes even clouding my ability to concentrate on the presentation. There were many questions I would like to have asked her, questions that I will reveal later, but on that day I was forced to sit silently and reflect. The next morning, as I relayed my experience to a friend, another scene popped into my head.
It was 1985, and I was a newly minted US Army military police officer stationed at Ft. McClellan, Alabama. During our welcome briefing, the officer in charge provided his troops with a list of area businesses that soldiers were not permitted to frequent, because they were still actively discriminating against blacks. To say I was shocked would be a serious understatement. This was the United States of America! It was 1985!
At that time, I was married to my high school sweetheart, who was a member of the Army band, earning extra money by playing part/time gigs during his off time. One weekend, we were out of town – still in Alabama – where my husband (a piano player) was performing with his drummer friend, a black soldier and fellow Army band member. We went out to dinner, the three of us, and we were greeted at the door by the hostess, who seemed to ever-so-slightly hesitate when we asked for a table. The restaurant didn’t seem crowded; there appeared to be quite a few empty tables.
As she gathered three menus, the hostess escorted us to a table. I thought it odd that we were seated far off to one side of the restaurant, the tables all around us vacant. In spite of what I had been told by the officer upon my arrival in Alabama – that segregation was still a thing – I just couldn’t wrap my head around it. Was that really why we were being shunned? Set off to one side? Given weird glances? I’ll never know, with 100 percent certainty, but it’s what I suspect.
As I recalled that experience, I asked myself what I would have done if we had been told that my husband and I were acceptable and would be permitted to eat inside the restaurant but our friend, who was black, was not. Would I have stayed? Absolutely not!
What if it wasn’t a friend but rather, simply another black customer waiting in line behind us? Would I have walked in and enjoyed a meal, oblivious to the discrimination that was taking place behind me? Absolutely not!
These are the questions I wanted to ask the presenter that day. What about the patron standing in line behind you who couldn’t get vaccinated because she has a medical condition for which the vaccine is contraindicated? What about the patron who had a negative reaction to the first “dose” and, understandably, doesn’t want to risk a second one, therefore rendering him “not fully vaxxed?” Why did you feel comfortable, lucky even, to be permitted to patronize a restaurant that was blatantly discriminating against an innocent group of people?
It’s the law! Sorry, wrong answer. Lots of laws are unethical. Many have been repealed.
The restaurant owners will get shut down if they don’t obey! Nope, wrong again. “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.” Sometimes good people have to make difficult choices, including business owners.
It’s for the health of the community! No. In fact, the evidence is undeniable – the vaccine does not prevent humans from catching or spreading this virus.
The bottom line is, THIS IS NOT OK! And, the longer that good people keep following bad directives, the more broken our society becomes. It’s time to take a stand. It’s past time.

Exiting the Matrix (or, it’s time to channel your inner Neo)
“You have to understand, most people are not ready to be unplugged.” – Morpheus, The Matrix (1999)
A father once explained to his daughter that, as she matured and started dating, she would need to know who to trust. He told her that she could always come to him for advice. She could trust him implicitly, because he would never have an ulterior motive. Unlike others she might interact with, he needed nothing from his daughter, so there was no reason to tell her anything but the truth.
And so it is with this blog. I have no agenda, no desire to persuade you to pick one side over another or to align with any cause. My goal is to simply help you explore beyond the obvious (assuming you want to)…to discover the real world that lies just beneath the surface of the illusion in which we find ourselves. Intrigued? Let’s begin…
“The answer is out there, Neo, and it’s looking for you, and it will find you if you want it to.” – Trinity, The Matrix (1999)
So, what do I mean by exiting the matrix? At the very least, it means to stop floating through this world on auto pilot…to take responsibility for what’s going on within and around you. Your planet needs you right now! Your fellow humans need you to be awake, aware, and firing on all cylinders. It’s not a coincidence that you’re alive right now, at this time in the Earth’s history, along with almost 8 billion brothers and sisters. We all arrived here with a mission. And it’s time, now, to wake up to that realization, align with our true purpose, and start contributing to the evolution of humanity. How do we do that? Here are a few tips:
Turn off the television. It’s a distraction. It’s literally keeping you in a state of hypnosis. Don’t believe me? For the next two weeks, turn off your TV and spend that same amount of time outside in nature or in some type of meditative activity. (Check out my book, The Journey Within, for ideas.)Stop getting your information from “normal” news outlets. News anchors are not giving you the news. They are entertaining you. They are paid to amuse/anger/bait, not to investigate and inform. Step out of your comfort zone. Investigate “alternative” information sources; specifically, those that have no ulterior motive (see paragraph 1). Here are my favorites: DarkHorse podcast, Russell Brand, and Jordan B Peterson.“Choice is an illusion created between those with power and those without.” – Merovingian, The Matrix (1999)
Assume – just for a moment – that information flowing from any governmental agency is (at least partially) untrue. Play devil’s advocate. If it were the case that these organizations were not working in your best interest – they had an ulterior motive – what would that mean for you? How might you alter your decision-making process?“What do all men with power want? More power.” – The Oracle, The Matrix (1999)
If only briefly, consider the motives of everyone with whom you interact, particularly those who are in a position of power. In the off-chance that they are – or could be – motivated by something less altruistic than your well-being, how might you adjust your interaction?“You have to let it all go, Neo. Fear, doubt, and disbelief. Free your mind.” – Morpheus, The Matrix (1999)
The only way to free your mind is to unplug. Reduce the noise. Look around. Start asking questions. It’s becoming increasingly critical that we do our own research. Our evolution won’t be televised.
“I don’t like the idea that I’m not in control of my own life.” – Neo, The Matrix (1999)
It’s up to you to take control of your life. Tap into your inner wisdom. You have the answers.
