More I must highlight about this great set of interviews.

John Roeland has this great peace about three quarters of the way through part 2... where he gives a shout-out to James True for a conversation they were having.

And then John is highlighting a possibility that can be difficult to parse... maybe it's going on... maybe it's not going on... but I love the way he talks about it. It starts a place where he says, "It does kind of feel like they're trying to wake us up... in a weird way..."

This is one of my very favorite frames.

I love the way he goes on to say more about this, and he says it better than I could type out or try to paraphrase. I highly recommend part 2 after you finish part 1, y'all.

Well, I've got to say a lot more about this. Hello again. :-)

Will Keller is sharing great points in part 2 about the ways words change throughout time; and of course, the way definitions are being intentionally changed.

We see this in the redefinition of various words in usage, and also in the way that a large business or conglomerate will change their name being marketed to the public -- causing past safety disputes or criminal endeavors to be lost in the murk of trauma-affected public memory.

Demi has a really important response in regards to how meaning is subverted -- and the place where the brain blanks out. In her discussion with Will and John she's referencing this as a form of mind control -- she's absolutely correct -- and she is describing what happens when you come to a word you don't understand in context.

Slightly paraphrased, Demi says: "In that second where it blanks out, you're more apt to just accept the information rather than come up against it -- because you didn't understand the definition of that word. You had that time in between, where your mind goes blank -- where you're searching for the meaning -- you're trying to do multiple things at once -- it just blanks out -- there's no continuity there." (I am paraphrasing a little bit in order to type the text, and I recommend listening to or watching all of part 2 of this interview especially for this piece.)

To further add, she says: "When you see something like that, it's best to just stop and look up the word and take a moment to figure that out... so that when you feel your mind drift or go blank... or you feel yourself just agreeing with whatever it is you're hearing instead of consciously taking in the information... it's really important to slow down and look it up."

John Roeland says, "The word 'connotation ' -- it means 'with notes' -- you need notes to know what they mean. It's been 'connoted'. There has been notes added to it." I love this! He also adds, "It's got attachments to it." Attachments indeed. 0.0!

Etymological study matters! And it allows us more effectively study all kinds of matters. :-)

Slowing down and examining the situation you're in really matters, too.

The neurological injury that all living populations are now being targeted with... in many layers, from many directions, and from many sources of influence... mean that it's harder for many people to even remember the multitudinous previous meanings of words or phrases they used to know.

Especially when many people feel fearful or resistant to recognizing their own or their loved ones' experiences as neurological injury... and especially when health care organizations everywhere distort, misinform, or occlude accurate information about neurological injury and how we can recover from it.

When we in the Intuitive network describe population-level human trafficking programming, we are often also talking about this mechanic here.

Can someone running a media or tech system in your community make you forget a little of what you knew... and surreptitiously replace it with something else you have to take at face value?

When we are all under such continual stress and hardship, things like this can slip our awareness. If too many instances like this get past us, we can find ourselves programmed by the very trafficking influences we speak out against. And indeed, it is exactly that which holds the worst, most violent forms of human trafficking in place.

These are fundamentals -- so glad to have gotten to spend a lot of time with these videos.

How do we know the meanings of the words we're using?

We must communicate clearly -- in an unfolding relationship with one another -- in order to even start finding out. We have to respectfully define the words we're using... and learn from each other... so that we can even start to have a chance of being on the same page together.

Part 2, Will Keller: "Comprehension is key. If both parties don't have a certain level of comprehension, the point is going to be missed on either side."

Demi: "Communication's not happening without comprehension."

We have to start here every time we even think we're communicating. We can't be sending or receiving actual communications without understanding that the language the other person is using might actually be a very different language... and correcting for misperceptions.

Any word in any language can have a lot of different possible meanings, even diametrically opposed meanings, depending on who is speaking and where they're coming from.

A lot more excellent points are made in this interview set; etymology, vibrational qualities of words, respectful discourse, facilitating public dialogue, oodles of others.

Necessary for every community to understand.
