Aloha Dan,

Powerful post! Mahalo nui loa (thank you very much) for extending Wetiko's reach.

Your closing line sparked a notion mixed with a caution.

The notion?

How is a genuine sense of self-worth similar to a vaccine. This notion is rooted a couple decades of personally experiencing over 300K taking a personal journey to re-awaken to a more robust sense of worth well beyond numbers. As folks rediscover themselves - their worth - on multiple levels (sans finances) -they FEEL a stronger connection to others as well as Gaia. As this connection deepens, a sense of no going back ripens. No going back to unconscious consumer ways.

The caution?

COVID has weaponized then meaning of vaccine such that current usage feeds an ancient war tactic. That tactic? Divide and conquer. Popular press supports the pharmaceutically vaccinated who are somehow more worthy than the naturally vaccinated.

Dissolving divisions = a viable wetiko vaccine?
