It is definitely the feelings the override the facts.

The same people who are captured by the psychosis are vulnerable to every trigger that society has to offer. Social Justice Warriors and the Woke getting feelings of righteousness from attacking people who push their triggers.

I've only helped one at a time (talking about cults & narcissists here) - but there is an important role in waiting. Listening. Observing with your deep knowing - for those glimpses that there is a place for a seed, fertile soil, an opening.

But in my experience, you have to be in deep love to have this kind of patience. Sometimes this takes years.

When it's EVERYWHERE, well. I'm just not that enlightened, yet.

Many family members are affected, but mainly my daughter. She didn't speak to us or let us see the grandkids for over a year. We have since started getting together again, but any mentioning of covid causes her to leave the room in tears. This isn't forcing a conversation but when she asked why grandma was in the hospital. "Because she got another vaccine" was the answer. Things are fine if we avoid certain topics.

A dear friend of mine (I call her "sister") got caught in the "satanic ritual abuse" and "multiple personality" delusional trend in the 90's. She's not the only one I knew at the time who got caught in this trend, though it took different forms.

One friend, it took her 5 years to say, "I know you thought you did what was best." It took her 10 years to say "You were right." and another 5 years to reunite with her parents, who had previously been framed as perps by an unethical therapist. At least they reunited before the parents were gone.

We're talking patience and time. Loyalty and love.

My closer friend, I had to let go entirely. Just let her go with this narcissist who was manipulating her sanity. Just watch her decline into madness. She would call, I would listen on the phone. Just listen, maybe plant little seeds like, "is this good? are you happy?" That one, I had to wait until it exploded into pain & suffering, and be there to catch her before she fell. I think that whole process took 5 years.

Little seeds, lots of patience, lots of listening, lots of love.

So true with loved ones. With the public, unfortunately, we don't have that amount of time. The WHO treaty gets signed in a few months. What to do?
