Open (More or Less) Post on Covid 24

[ecosophia]

The semi-open posts  I've hosted here on the Covid-19 narrative, the inadequately tested experimental drugs for it, and the whole cascading mess surrounding them have continued to field a very high number of comments, so I'm opening yet another space for discussion. The rules are the same as before: 

1. If you plan on parroting the party line of the medical industry and its paid shills, please go away. This is a place for people to talk openly, honestly, and freely about their concerns that the party line in question is dangerously flawed and that actions being pushed by the medical industry et al. are causing injury and death. It is not a place for you to dismiss those concerns. Anyone who wants to hear the official story and the arguments in favor of it can find those on hundreds of thousands of websites.

2. If you plan on insisting that the current situation is the result of a deliberate plot by some villainous group of people or other, please go away. There are tens of thousands of websites currently rehashing various conspiracy theories about the Covid-19 outbreak and the vaccines. This is not one of them. What we're exploring is the likelihood that what's going on is the product of the same arrogance, incompetence, and corruption that the medical industry and its tame politicians have displayed so abundantly in recent decades. That possibility deserves a space of its own for discussion, and that's what we're doing here. 
 
3. If you plan on using rent-a-troll derailing or disruption tactics, please go away. I'm quite familiar with the standard tactics used by troll farms to disrupt online forums, and am ready, willing, and able -- and in fact quite eager -- to ban people permanently for engaging in them here. Oh, and I also lurk on other Covid-19 vaccine skeptic blogs, so I'm likely to notice when the same posts are showing up on more than one venue. 

4. If you don't believe in treating people with common courtesy, please go away. I have, and enforce, a strict courtesy policy on my blogs and online forums, and this is no exception. The sort of schoolyard bullying that takes place on so many other internet forums will get you deleted and banned here. No, I don't care if you disagree with that: my journal, my rules. 

With that said, as more and more vaccinated people call in sick with the disease the vaccine was supposed to keep them from getting, and the euphemism "died suddenly" sounds like a repeated drumbeat in the media, the floor is open for discussion.

Sapienter,
Yes, I invoke Raphael daily as part of my lesser banishing ritual learned from JMGs' Learning Ritual Magic along with Michael, Gabriel and Uriel, Archangels of the four cardinal points and corresponding to the four elements, air, fire, water and earth respectively. Raphael corresponds to the east/air and is the AA/element with which I most readily resonate. Raphael responds well to invocation and/or prayer.
He is also the AA of Tiphareth on the Tree of Life, Beauty, where to my current understanding, the various forces come to balance and find expression in this life.
I find his character described very well in The Book of Tobit, a story of protection, deliverance and restoration which I find analogous to Jungs' individuation, a process that I find myself, and frankly our culture at large, working through right now.
So both Hermes and Raphael work in similar but distinct ways to guide, protect, encourage and heal me and my household through these "interesting" times. Of course, YMMV as we say here frequently.
I hope this is a help on your journey. Godspeed.
