Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evolving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Rules For the rest of the Site also accessible on the sidebar.

you, me and just about every other person willing to engage in anything more than a flippant manner online!
What a great response. Although I won't say I was offended, your apology is warmly received, even if unwarranted. Your explanation illuminates the whole comment so well, and now I can get it.
Whereas I interpreted the comment to be a poke at me (painting me as a doofus who would reference the 'trusted sources' in any mainline publication, I can totally see now that it was a wry remark, intended to highlight just how nutso that whole area is. Cliche, yes indeed. I shall keep my eyes open for future witticisms with improved understanding!!
Thank you for your generous comments re: my mind. I think I have really benefited from a lot of self-training engaged in on the basis of listening to some of those sources I cite.
Like you, I patched in to Dave at x22 every day for a large part of the Q drop operation period. But I found less inspiration to do so after 2020 and Jan 2021. I went through what I think a lot of anons did at that time - dark night of the anon soul - where I had to step back and really rework my understanding of the Q operation.
I've listened to Bongino a few times, and certainly think there is an audience out there for him, even if it wasn't me. In truth, our "information sphere" is an incredible unprecedented mozaic of all sorts of different 'sauces' sharing views, perspectives, insights, angles that vary and which speak to each of us in unique ways.
This is the power of the 'democratization' of information via the internet, something the Cabal and Evil has feared more than anything. Each of us has so much opportunity to tune into voices that resonate with our own unique perspective and purposes.
But with that freedom comes responsibility and risk, and I guess that is why I harp so much on the theme of HOW frens here approach the sources that they are tapping in to. Because who and what you tap into is a direct reflection of your own inner mindset, including your biases, desires, sympathies and psychological makeup.
Some folks really tune in to hopium-type content, because internally, that's what they crave. But I suspect that this mostly originates in a sense of insecurity, worry, and fear.
See my dinky little post contrasting 'hopium' with 'hopermectin' (an expression I coined from Ivermectin to distinguish healthy positivity with 'hopium').

It has long been my working premise that there are two great awakenings that need to unfold in tandem. The external one is identifying that one is being lied to by external sources of information, such as coming to the realization that the mainstream media is in fact propaganda and control. The internal one is a self-awakening to more deeper dimensions of who I am, what drives me, what my biases are, my prejudices, my strengths, and how I orientate myself towards that outside world where a wide plethora of sources are all offering me all sorts of information.
To be frank, humanity is being bombarded by information now, more than at any time in our known existence. Successfully navigating this tidal wave - tsunami - of information will require our internal strength. And this is why the Great Awakening is also a spiritual movement, because the foundation of our self-awareness and self-understanding is inextricably intertwined with our relationship with God.
I'm actually a very intuitive person myself, and I certainly run with my intuition as my primary compass. (see previous statement about connection with God!) However, for whatever reason, from an early age, I was challenged to try to understand what my intuition was showing me. Over time, I moved into a professional field where accuracy, attention to detail, clarity and analysis - all language related - is key and critical.
So I have a pretty strong analytical mind (kek, for SOME things....) but I think of logic and reason as workhorses there to facilitate the directions that intuition points to.
That balance is important, imo, because the intuition functions in that subjective realm where HOW we think can affect everything, including WHAT we perceive or don't perceive. But logic and reason, these are the servants of the intuition and the spirit, the heart, not the masters, and people who attempt to put them first or in that master position end up losing so much. This is where atheists, for example, reside. They cannot see beyond what their intellect tells them, and that's a BIG, BIG problem. The intellect is not Master. Heart and love are.
Anyway, I resonate with your comments about intuition, and from what I've gleaned from our discussion so far, I get a sense that its really serving you well.
And here's a small anecdote... Today, for the first time in a long time, I patched in to X.com (formerly twitter) and began reading there. The algorithms brought up what I would say is very good content for me. The first ten or so posts that the algo brought to me were relevant, and powerful, from RFK to Tommy Robinson in the UK, to a home town issue, to others.
I spent the first 20+ minutes going into this content, whereas for quite some time now, my habit has been to come to GAW first and go from here. I've kept a distance from twitter for a few years (whereas for certain periods in the past, it was my main and primary area of activity and activism (info sharing, etc).
In short, I think I've found our discussion here, and your perspectives, have subtly encouraged me to relook at how I'm approaching things, including certain sources. There certain are very good sources and genuine sharers out there. And if one focuses on the grifters and controlled oppos, I guess one can become a bit fixated. Perhaps that's where I am partly.
But that's OK. My point here is simply that I feel like this discussion has been quite beneficial, hopefully to both of us, and I'd like to thank you for that! Thank you!!!
I look forward to seeing you on the board. A blessing on your weekend.... FI
