Aristotle: “Courage is the first of human qualities because it is the quality that guarantees the others.”
I’ve paid a lot of attention to fear, how so many people are controlled by their fear. It makes sense to look at the opposite: what frees us - going with courage. I remember that Aristotle also saw people as having the power to change, by our choices. So it’s not that we have some fixed quantity of fear or courage, but that by choosing courageous actions, we become ever more courageous.
And that brings me to a comment from Kat Elder, a reader:
I have personally nicknamed your Truth Summit the “moral courage” summit. Because…that is exactly what it is. 🤔 Here’s a little applicable anecdote for you…I had one exceptionally close mother figure friend, one neighbor I took nature walks with — an author, and a renowned holistic healer friend, who all had in common they were Holocaust survivors. I am positively not suggesting this applies to all those that lost their lives in the Holocaust, by no means. But here is what contributed to their survival: beyond the norm moral courage. There is so much to be said about you and your “moral courage” summit, as well as all other presenters there.
I love Kat’s personal nickname for the Truth Summit - the Moral Courage Summit. I had given it the emotionally cool subtitle - Navigating the Psy-Op Jungle. But yes, what makes some people ready to explore, to take the risks? Yes, we need courage - moral maybe most of all. Something goes against our sense of what is right, as well as against our common sense. And we pay attention, learn what we can, do what we can.
Step by step, we take on the challenge.

‘Briefly adding two more sources associated with my ability to “see/sense” the dark big picture reality the collective is now facing, though this was an author that wrote fiction, whose pen name was Dirk Wyle, his intriguing murder mystery, “Biotechnology is murder,” had as a title, one which is so true to form right now. For about 1.5 years, I was a member of “Dirk’s” and several other gentlemen’s writer’s critique group, beginning in 1999. Additionally, as a close friend of Rita, Founder of Path (Positive Alternate Therapies for Health) I met, sat in on lectures of, and bought the books from Dr. Len Horowitz several times, late ‘90’s, early 2000’s. I will next email you his book titles and a little healing/therapeutic link of his. He warned of the world we have found ourselves in well over 25 years ago, Here is the name of two of us books, “Death in the air, Globalism, Terrorism and toxic warfare.” Another of several books, “Healing codes for the Biological apocalypse.” Knowing you are back logged with much paperwork, I am keeping these emails extremely brief.
Ditto.
