I Was Inspired By Her Piano Technique – A Journey
From my previous post – “During 2022 I found a most wonderful teacher on-line. She spoke of the need to strengthen the fingers and hands with good technique. I was inspired.”
Yes, I was inspired and so I joined her on-line platform. I adored her as a person, and as a teacher. The problem being, though, I couldn’t do as she taught – my hands and forearms rebelled. I was impatient – I just had to wait. In the meantime my beloved spirit friends, The Collective Consciousness (The C.C.) continued to caution me to beware and, most importantly of all – to continue to be patient.
I had bought myself a beginner’s piano instruction book. The lessons were/are very simple to understand and allowed/allow me to, at least, continue to learn. I had/have no option but to go slow. However, just sitting in front of my beautiful piano brought/brings me great joy as I painstakingly began (and continue) the process of learning more and more, the language of music.
Now, some four years later, I still sit slowly and gently before the keys – thoroughly enjoying the sounds that come forth.
For me it has never been a matter of accomplishment; it has been a matter of enjoyment and learning. For this I am truly grateful. Were I to be impatient to progress I’m sure I would have injured myself to the point of no return. Not the case! Just remembering how to read a script (a very easy script) is love enough.
Recently, I found another teacher on-line. She not only has many free videos, her experience is one that suffered tendonitis as a budding concert pianist. Years of re-learning to play in a wholistic healthful manner became her healing. As such her compassion and empathy is evident as she gently draws you into the knowledge of how good technique can prevent such injuries, or assist their healing.
I haven’t, as yet, become a member. I am hoping to in time…

This is how they control all of us…
I saw this reel on Facebook, and realized I could share it directly to a blog post, so here ya go!
This very insightful reading will make you think more than twice about the world we live in!!
Shared from Facebook reels: @manifestation_ritualThe best way to gain control over the most powerful, intelligent species on the planet is to completely divide them from the love within themselves.
The Inspiration
After a little digging, I believe what the woman in the video is reading is the original work of a Medium writer known as Taymo, called A Recipe for Fostering Compliance.
👏👏👏 Well done sir! You hit the nail on the head with this one!
Another Video
This reminds me of another video- solid black fills the screen and plain white letters scroll past, as you hear Paul Harvey reading his 1965 work “If I were the devil…”

Overcoming Systems of Control
If you’ve ever felt silenced, minimized, or quietly managed “for your own good,” it wasn’t an accident. Systems of control are designed to make you blame yourself instead of questioning the structure. Awareness is where freedom begins.
They don’t control us by power alone — they do it by isolating us, exhausting us, and teaching us to stay quiet. The moment you name the pattern, the spell breaks. What comes next is choice.
Awareness Is the First Break in the Chain
Control works best when you think the problem is you. I learned that the hard way — being talked over, excluded from decisions, and quietly discredited while being told I deserved it.
Once I named the tactics — silencing, gaslighting, double binds — the confusion lifted.
> If you can name the behavior, you stop internalizing the blame.
Awareness doesn’t solve everything, but it restores clarity. And clarity is power.
Reclaiming Agency (One Inch at a Time)
Agency isn’t dramatic. It’s subtle and stubborn.
For me, it was asking questions I wasn’t supposed to ask. Filing my own paperwork. Saying, “That’s not accurate,” even when my voice shook.
> Agency isn’t the absence of fear. It’s choosing to act anyway.
You don’t take power back all at once. You reclaim it decision by decision.
Think Critically or Be Managed
Systems of control rely on unchallenged narratives. I was told repeatedly that decisions were being made in the “best interest” of others — even when evidence said otherwise.
Critical thinking forced new questions: Who benefits? Who decides? Who’s missing from this conversation?
> Systems hate critical thinkers because they don’t obey stories — they test them.
Discernment isn’t cynicism. It’s self‑respect.
Boundaries: Where Control Stops
I used to over‑explain, thinking clarity would earn fairness. It didn’t — it just drained me.
Boundaries changed that. I stopped debating my reality. I stopped engaging with people committed to misunderstanding me.
> Boundaries aren’t walls. They’re doors — and you control the lock.
Expect pushback. That’s often the sound of a power imbalance correcting itself.
From Helplessness to Self‑Trust
Helplessness isn’t a personal failure — it’s often a conditioned response.
The shift came through small follow‑throughs. Keeping promises to myself. Doing the next right thing even when outcomes were uncertain.
> You don’t wait to feel powerful. You act — and power follows.
Self‑trust is rebuilt through experience, not affirmation.
Community Breaks the Spell
Control isolates. Community reveals patterns.
The moment someone else tells your story back to you — the spell breaks.
> They taught us to whisper so we wouldn’t realize how many of us there are.
Connection doesn’t require agreement. It requires honesty.
From Control to Conscious Choice
Control feeds on silence, confusion, and compliance.
Freedom grows through clarity, courage, and connection.
This isn’t about rebellion for its own sake. It’s about choosing truth over comfort, agency over approval, and community over isolation.
Once you see the system clearly, you can’t unsee it.
That’s not a problem.
That’s the beginning.

We've reached a threshold. No more tolerance for what doesn't serve humanity's highest good. The voices long silenced are rising, demanding to be heard. This is our moment to stand together in integrity and birth the world we know is possible. Every one of us carries that Light. ✨

In his 2007 speech at the National Press Club, Dr. Alfredo Sfeir-Younis challenged the conventional peace-building methods of the early 21st century—marked by the height of the Iraq War and global military expansion—by asserting that traditional protests and diplomacy fail without the foundational pillar of inner peace. Amidst a geopolitical landscape defined by escalating military expenditures and the tragic reality of child soldiers and refugees, Sfeir-Younis argued for a "fundamental platform" of meditation, prayer, and self-awareness as the only sustainable path to world peace. He critiqued the era's pervasive individualism and materialism, calling for a radical shift toward collective responsibility and a "humanization of economics" where wealth is managed for the group welfare. Ultimately, he positioned inner transformation and collective silence not as passive acts, but as the most powerful instruments for dismantling the systemic violence and inequality that characterized the global state of affairs in 2007.
