I would like to welcome you to this list. Hope you find these letters useful.

There is a lot of energy in the air, and that will continue for the next couple of months. When conditions such as these present themselves, it is always good to make adjustments in our activities and thinking where we can avoid the pitfalls and also take advantage of the benefits.

The first item of importance is to slow down. So, what do I mean by this? Well, it is really quite simple, when the emotions are the first motivator, there is one thing that has proven itself time and time again, and that is the accuracy of the intellect is directly influenced by fog self-induced. Being the intellect is the primary calculator of all information received knowing full well the calculator has a less than 40% chance of accuracy it is important not to act immediately on information received until time is taken to further examine the information determining whether a response is needed at all.

This is also important to keep in mind. You do not allow other people to force you into changing your behavior using a process of guilt and/or manipulation. This is part of the dark side I speak of and has nothing to do with the spiritual attributes of the light within every one of us.

History has shown despots and criminals have used this very process to manipulate the population, thus ending in the deaths of millions worldwide.

I pulled the following up from Wikipedia on including the Black Book of Communism Google search of communist deaths by country.

Total estimated deaths caused by communist regimes range from 60 million to over 100 million, largely resulting from state-engineered famines, purges, forced labor camps (Gulags), and mass deportations. [1, 2]

The most widely cited breakdown of these casualties by country, as detailed in the academic study The Black Book of Communism, includes: [1, 2]

• China (People's Republic of China): ~65 million deaths (primarily during the Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution)
• Soviet Union: ~20 million deaths (under regimes from Lenin to Stalin, including the Holodomor)
• North Korea: ~2 million deaths
• Cambodia (Khmer Rouge): ~2 million deaths (about a quarter of the population)
• Ethiopia: ~1.7 million deaths
• Afghanistan: ~1.5 million deaths
• Vietnam: ~1 million deaths
• Eastern Bloc: ~1 million deaths collectively across Soviet-aligned European states
• Latin America: ~150,000 deaths [1, 2]

While these estimates are foundational to historical research, the exact figures remain a subject of ongoing academic debate. Some historians emphasize higher totals (such as R.J. Rummel's estimates reaching upwards of 140 million), while others debate methodologies and argue over which deaths should be classified as deliberate atrocities versus systemic policy failures. [1, 2, 3, 4]

The only way that these systems can gain a foothold in society is when that society has abandoned its well-rounded education system, including all forms of history and civics, and the ability to reason. And one last thing I am to bring up. Using the Soviet Union as an example, I have seen many people shot by communist guards who were trying to escape the communist side of the Berlin Wall. Another place that has the same problem and others would be North Korea. Many people have also been shot trying to escape communist North Korea.

Something is not right here. If those systems are so great for the populace, then why is everybody trying to leave and migrate to a free country?  

This Wednesday, we are going to take advantage of the energy in the air. We are going to be using a form of Chi to tap into the energies around the earth and elsewhere. We are also going to be continuing our examination of the chakras and cleaning up and/or enhancing any areas that are in need.

As always, we have the usual three-card reading, and if time permits, we are going to further detail 

I look forward to seeing you this Wednesday.
