Yes: "The winds and the waves are always on the side of the ablest navigators."
Edward Gibbon (courtesy of Epoch Times)
And most of us have been navigating while hugely in the dark. There was usually a tiny patch of light on something. We could see something was wrong.
As a child, I knew that the barriers to women, non-whites, Jews were wrong. I didn’t know about the barriers to gays and lesbians, as my society kept me so in the dark that I didn’t know of their existence. When I learned of their existence, I widened my awareness of unjust barriers.
I had no idea at all of the forces behind things, forces that were going to push Martin Luther King Jr’s dream of equality, of his children being judged by their character rather than skin color, into Black Lives Matter and critical race theory. I’m not going to bother proving here that those forces exist or how Black Lives Matter and critical race theory are poisonous.
To go back to the quote: "The winds and the waves are always on the side of the ablest navigators." I was far from the ablest navigator.
Starting about 2006, I was made aware that the official story about Islam (“religion of peace”) was not in line with the reality of Islamic ideology and history. It took years for me to understand HOW the official story was maintained in the face of the easy-to-ascertain facts. It took even longer for me to understand WHO could be behind this, beyond Islamics, and WHY some group beyond Islamics might be part of indoctrinating the West with the official story about Islam.
Here are a few awarenesses that make us better navigators. Knowledge of effective treatments for the c-virus. Of dangers of the injections. Of death spikes among the injected. Of the weird blot clots in the injected. Of mandates without justification. Of lockdowns without justification. Of masking without justification. Of the Israeli government hiding its own data on dangers of the injections. Of sky and earth pollution through chem trails (geoengineering).
I’ve slowly gained awareness of the many “humanitarian hoaxes” - Linda Goudsmit’s brilliantly accurate term. I believe she documents 54 of them.
In other words, in relation to “The winds and the waves are always on the side of the ablest navigators,” I’ve slowly become a more able navigator, with better maps of the rocks and shoals, the islands and even safe harbors.
About being a better navigator, there’s also learning how we can best use our energy without getting burned out. An overwhelmed navigator may not have the needed attention for impending disasters, with attention fixed on the horizon - or may only see impending disasters and not the ones a bit further off. Or may even stop being able to pay attention to anything.
Yet one more thing: most often, we don’t know that we don’t know. A very recent learning: chem trails. But until I learned, I didn’t know that I didn’t know.
I’m ending with a detail from a painting by George Horak. It captures my view of the current situation. A Tidal Wave with a Typhoon on the Side.
My question to you: what is the most recent thing you’ve learned that makes you more likely to be a navigator who doesn’t get their boat destroyed on unexpected rocks?
If you can’t think of anything recent, what is any piece of learning that has helped you to see what is going on?

"Humanitarian hoaxes" is a good term. I would add to that "philanthropic hoaxes".
