I know I shouldn’t be surprised, and yet here we are where Garcia gets shipped off to CECOT and the president rolls out the red carpet for an ISIS militant.

I was listening to a lecture yesterday about moving up in layers of consciousness/awareness, and how so many who are intelligent enough have a break-through idea moment, have a glimmer of “how can this serve humanity?” Then it brings them some money and/or a taste of power and immediately pivot to “how can I use this to attain more power?” and turn into Elon Musk.

I’m wondering if anyone has ever skipped that stage? It seems there’s a magic number that allows a comfortable living and sharing some back and corruption.

I’m obviously not talking about sudden huge lotto winnings here, but I am guessing it would apply to buying the neighborhood Fendi bags and going broke rather than spending to set up a charity that offers shelter, food or clothing.
