[font:Comic Sans MS][/font] I have been thinking about what everyone shares about their efforts, with things that are bothering them, what is, or is not motivating them. I hear and I empathize with people’s anger, frustration, sorrow, despair, disappointment, and on occasion excitement or joy. Since I am now discussing where I was before I realized, I wanted to share with you the fact that I didn’t just wake up one day, walk outside, look up, for no apparent reason and say "OH LOOK a chemtrail, those rotten jerks!” It actually took me a while to get on board with all this (what I thought at the time was) crazy stuff.
I have always been an avid weather watcher though. SO, looking UP was really a normal thing for me. I have always been interested in weather, because I am always outside, sun, rain, snow, whatever, I am in it. But, when things started getting so bad out there, that we spent more time indoors than outdoors, it made me begin to question what in the heck is going on. I was becoming frustrated. I was seeing many unusual weather patterns, and freak storms. I began to study weather maps and news coverage of the freak storms, and read through thousands of blogs or news forum responses.
Maybe I was already half way there, just around the awareness bend. I got hooked into a couple weather social network groups, they kept saying “they are spraying us again today” or “they are spraying heavy” or “I saw 20 fly over today.” That had me all creeped out. What the world are they talking about – “spraying us!?” I asked myself. No one would answer me. Finally at some point, some said the word “chemtrail.” Again, I had no idea what they were talking about. I then thought This stuff is nuts, I need to see for myself what this crazy stuff is.
So I dug and dug, and watched and read until I didn’t sleep anymore for days. I saw pictures people had posted. I remembered seeing that same stuff in our skies around here. I couldn’t believe that the government was sending out air craft loaded with toxic chemicals, and dumping them out the back of the air craft like that. All I could think of, in response to my shock and horror was If people are saying that it is bad for us, then why would they do this? This cannot be real. I do not want to believe this.
What next? I did more research, and realized that it was similar to many other programs that have been done, (in the supposed efforts to improve something) while destroying something else in the process, (with no regard of public health and safety of the environment). It’s just the same lies, different day. Still, I had a hard time grasping the whole spraying stuff out the back of pl_nes. So, I did what I always do, doubt first, question always, and then go look for myself. Sure enough, now that I knew what to look for, I looked and looked, until I saw it happening right in front of my own eyes.
I needed to get beyond the “whats” first, then find a way to learn the “whys” and then be able to walk away from that, in order to focus on the “now whats.” That’s where I am now. I am trying to spread awareness in a manner that will hopefully gain the interest of someone who is motivated and wants to make a difference, just like me. I have an interest in this, because it affects me. I need to find people that feel this affects them as well. This is personal, make personal for you too.
Something to consider, when dealing with people who are not yet aware or eagerly willing to get on board with all of this, it might take some one longer to get the whole truth. It might just mean that although they may be harder to convince, they might just be someone who will stay in this with all they’ve got to offer and then some.
I believe that having a little more patience in key, when trying to bring someone up to speed. Do not meet resistance and implied ignorance with anger or frustration. Instead, offer small digestible amounts of crucial and credible evidence or specific resources that the person can research on their own time. This is a challenge no doubt, in trying not to react with anger and aggravation.
Please know that you are making a difference. You do not have to see the difference instantly. Believe that it can and will occur, then move on to you next task at hand. If you’ve ever been involved with the Pay It Forward Foundation, you will know exactly what I am talking about. Ripples in the water, chain reaction, Karma, are all many good expressions for change for the better. Our future is in our hands. We can choose how this will end. ~ Do what you can. Have patience for those who are now walking in the shoes that you already walked in.~
One thing I have learned from the trenches both professionally and personally that has helped me deal with impatience and grief of those not awake is the following statistic:
1-3% of the population will be pro-active 3-10% of the population will do something once or twice 90% of the population will do nothing
This is not to be discouraging because 3% of a very active population established our country. I once heard another statistic that for every 1 active person it counts as 10,000 lazy ones.
Two other things I always keep in my handbag are:
Faith as you alluded to by your ending
Solutions (well maybe you can't personally control chem-trails) but you can mitigate their damage in so many ways. So learn what they are and be ready to help folks when they finally see they are impacted.
