Be Kind
For all those who don’t think this is the place for you, please go and hang out with a dog, take them for a walk barefoot on the beach and face the Sun for some solar energy 🌊🌞🦮 I send you a virtual hug while I, myself, am also desperately trying the keep the Faith in something! For now I just have Dogs and have the Higher Good to believe in 🙏🪷 (I really like how they had a fab last couple of days. The choice of watching Secrets and Lies is interesting, I will tell Mike Leigh’s son about this. I am pleased that they saw the beauty in Brenda Blethen’s portrayal to see that there isn’t just hideousness on Earth. I do hope they felt no pain on their exit. Bless ‘Em, I hope they can send us some positive energy + Nanoonaanoo! ❤️🛸
Amazing podcast
I thought I knew everything about Heaven’s Gate and didn’t need to hear more… but I was wrong. This podcast was full of information and brilliantly presented. It goes in-depth, has lots of interviews and footage etc. Glynn Washington is a brilliant presenter, he grew up in a cult - not sure if that’s why - but he really carries this show! As I say, I didn’t want to hear another documentary about HG but he really bring something new to it all.
Heaven’s Gate
Intelligent, well-researched and psychologically revealing series.
