      I do not understand how thinking observant people don't see that animals are sentient beings with souls. The arrogance of humans to say "we are so special, so chosen, only we have sentient thoughts, feelings, compassion, etc.". We even create myths we call religion to make that inexcusable arrogance (what our deepest animal instincts know is wrong) more palatable.

    I’m so tired of all the sycophantic content from UA-camrs. Where have all the real people gone??? Thanks Colette for being real.
    I spent an hour in the garden yesterday, before work, watering and weeding. Enjoying the peace and the birds. Had to come in at 8.30 and found myself feeling really annoyed by clocks and calendars. Nature has no such thing… it ebbs and flows, seasons influenced by the sun and moon. Yet here we are made to live defined by time. And now the clock has further influence in the name of a platform tiktok… where ticking time is of the essence, when getting content out. It’s dumbing us all down. Concentration spans are shot. Thank heavens for nature…. and books.

    Collette,. I’m in the U.S., 73 years old, have my moral compass, beliefs, principles, opinions, and am very much in the minority with my views, where I live. I won’t be changing them, and I do “vote” with my wallet, support business owners with similar views, refuse to purchase from those who do not. I will continue to live my beliefs.

      I wish we were neighbors!!! I'm 73 and in the same boat in a small town in the PNW.
      I was, decades ago both a war correspondent (from the Nicaraguan jungles) and the editor of an international anti-war, etc. newspaper, and I'm still thoroughly addicted to knowing the underpinnings of current events.
      It may be of interest to you to know that we have a viable revolutionary candidate running for the presidency. A woman who's also 73, coincidentally.
      Read Jill Stein's platform, listen to her interviews, check out her activism for Palestine and look closely at who her donors are.
      I subscribe to the old adage TAKE THE RIGHT ACTIONS REGARDLESS OF THE OUTCOME. So, for me personally, I'm in the struggle for the long haul and whether or not she wins I know I know I've followed my conscience.
      Oh, how I wish we could share a cup of coffee and talk together.
      I know of no one here that even cares enough to know the basics about the situation we're in.
      It's in these comment sections I find myself in the best company.
      You warm the cockles of my heart, Dear! ❤

      At 58, lost my job/career in 2022, after relocating from east to west coast in the US 4 years prior for the job. I drove 3 days back to the east, started renovating an old rental home so I could move back in (2 months of contractors, cleaning and work before I could move back in). ..turned 60 in Feb, still not working and still glad I stood my ground completely alone. Stopped following religion years ago, no family in my state, I have no children and all of my friends here and family that live in other states followed the fear. Had a co-worker, young healthy man, 41 who just fell off a bicycle and died soon after following the rule. This world is not what we think and also appreciate Collette speaking on this. Thanks for sharing your comment.

    Dear Colette, I've been watching your videos for years and you and your property have been very inspirational. As one who lives in the USA, I'm very unhappy with the state of things here...very concerned about what will happen. Even though I have decided on ethical ways to live and purchase, I fear that my small choices just won't make a difference in the craziness around me. I am attempting to find and maintain a place of peace, but feel like a minnow in a pool of sharks.

      I'm also in the US. I'm 73 and have been studying the dirty underbelly of the US Empire for about 50 years.
      Decades ago I was a war correspondent from deep in the jungles of Nicaragua, then the editor of an international anti-war, etc. newspaper from the heart of the 9 missile states.
      Now I live in a small town in the PNW where I'm attempting to tell people about the chance we have to elect an outstanding woman, also 73, for our president. Few actually listen, either because they don't care or because they've essentially given up hope of substantial change.
      But I carry on nonetheless, because I care. I couldn't respect myself if I didn't.
      If you read Jill Stein's platform, listen to interviews with her, watch her speak (and even get arrested for it!) at demonstrations for the Palestinians, and- very importantly- research who her donors are, I feel sure you'll find something that will satisfy your need actually make a difference.
      Whether or not she wins (and now she can!) isn't, in the final analysis, as important as knowing I've been socially responsible and followed my conscience. ❤

    I'm in my mid 70's and although I was adopted and my parents were short in funds they were rich in kindness. In those days a hug was a rarity and as my parents were the same age as the other children's grandparents rather Victorian; but the values they taught me have served me well through all life's vicissitudes. What I always remember was what my dad said to me when once again I came back from Sunday school with the little envelope for the missionaries. His philosophy was that if everyone just did their best to be kind to those who touched their lives the world would be a better place. I think the Worlds gone to hell in a handcart and I'm not sure where its going to next but I am so grateful for having been a child of the fifties and sixties and that I can escape the madness down on my allotment and out in the country on my walks. Rant on Colette

  • @kerstinh9096
    @kerstinh9096 Місяць тому +18

    I agree with your rant, Colette. I would just add that when you said, "vote with your pocketbook", people should do that with cash. Credit and debit cards are very convenient, but there is a price to be paid for convenience.
    The powers-that-be want us to give up cash because they can save money with less customer service, they can track what we buy, where we buy and where we travel. That is something I find rather alarming.
    I also find that spending cash makes you re-think your purchase because handing over that money hurts much more than tapping a card on a machine.
    Also, I think a lot of young people would benefit from going back to using cash as it would strengthen their basic math skills.
    Take care and thank you for saying out loud what many of us are thinking.

      Yes! l do the same pay with cash. l am also seeing how they are dismissing people and replacing them with machines. l always take the lines with cashiers no matter the wait. The young people rather wait in long lines to pay at a "check out" in order to be cool. They don't understand there is a "quiet" training happening among our young people to prepare them for the future. Yes, they will have a price to pay, but it will be too late.

Believe me, CR has plenty of problems too, but they are a much nicer people to live among. We bought this property over 8 years ago when we decided to change our lifestyle and try to keep our sanity.

    It all makes me sick, what "they" are all saying, and we can not trust any of them. You speak so much sense Colette. I have become a recluse now, which I love, and I know folk could say that the politics do influence the way I live, because of the price of things, and how things work, but I LOVE nature, and hate seeing anyone harming Mother Earth. I grew up in a family who was Conservative, but until I was older, I did not understand what this meant. I was born in 1956, so I believed what my parents said was right, and never questioned it. I was educated in a private school, which I hated, as I was bottom of the class, and never fitted in, but my dear Father thought that he was giving me the best start in life, that he did not have. I wish that I had been self educated, as that would have been the right way for me. I am now 67 years young, and am scared of what the future may hold, but like my lovely greyhound Madge, I try to just live each day as it comes now. I follow you because I believe in a better life. We can only hope for good things to come. Blessings to you too, from Jilly & Madge. xxx

    Oh, I loved this one! I wasn't entirely sure where you stood on the 'thing that happened a couple of years ago' (unless I've missed a previous video on the subject, I haven't watched them all). Back in those days (2021 especially) all day, everyday, I had running through my head 'what the hell is going on? What's wrong with everyone?', but I was scared to say it out loud and just kept my head down about my own decision to say no to it all. One of the best pieces of advice I've ever been given came from a wise woman at that time - step into your sovereignty. I have now, those days of trying to avoid confrontation by meekly pretending to comply are over. I've stepped into my sovereignty. Blessings to you Colette x

      Decades ago I was the editor of an international newspaper and learned to thoroughly check data and sources.
      True to form, I've done that with Jill Stein. Her background, her current actions, her interviews and, most importantly, who her donors are. She not only checks out in all counts, she's now a VIABLE candidate for the presidency.

I couldn't care less what anyone thinks of me . I don't worry about the outside world, if I can't change it , no worry for me . I never get mad or get my feelings hurt. My mammy Belcher raised me this way . Good video. Love and Blessings to you and Patsy from an old woman and her dog .❤❤

    On the subject of animals and souls. Oh of course an animal has a soul absolutely! Even the tiny ant on the floor has a purpose and a need to complete it's life work. Animals are far more in tune with all that is beyond this life too, more so than humans. You only have to see how a dog might react after the death of an owner to know they have a deep and sensitive compassion and deep feelings. I too turn my back on closed minded religion.

    I remember being in Sunday school when I was about 8 years old and asking the vicar if dogs go to heaven because my dog had just died. I was heartbroken. He told me no they don’t. That was the day I knew I would never listen to anything the Christian church taught me ever again. I’ve been Pagan ever since.

Sadie his youngest daughter aged 5 said a little prayer for him at Playschool and her teacher sent a little WhatsApp of her saying the prayer. Sadie was so sincere as she was doing it. Maybe things have improved somewhat since your children were at school. Gregory my son will be 45 on Saturday. My daughter Emily has ordered A House on 3 Acres for me and I'm giving it to him. My spiritual journey started the day he was born but that's another story. Thanks so much Collette Blessings to you. Ann Mc Lucas 😊

    I’m watching Ballykissangel on Britbox and in one episode they shoved a ram in a box and hoisted it up in the air for a town festival. A female farmer was outraged. She wanted the priest to help her steal it back to put into the pasture. He said what’s the difference? It doesn’t have a soul! I nearly came unglued! It never ceases to amaze me, Colette, the lies we’ve been told over the years. Not just religion, politics and school, but everywhere! There are some things I conform to for convenience, being in the US, but I certainly have my limits. My moral compass is pointing in the right direction for sure. I’m definitely an outcast in my town and family. Whatever! I loved your kitchen chat~Not ranting, but sharing! Nothing wrong with being real. Bright blessings to you and Patsy ♥️♥️

      Indeed the divine spark is in every living thing. And every living thing will return to it's creator. The ignorance and downright arrogance of much of mankind (such as that priest) is disgusting. That false sense of superiority will be taken down one day. Many surprises in store.

    Dear Colette, thank you for publishing these words here! They don't want to realize the truth about that fact that we can decide every single day. Or to say it with the words of Friedrich Schiller: "The great cease to rule when the small cease to crawl. Most seem to prefer to crawl and beeing victims and do never notice they are...

    • @mikeinportland30
      @mikeinportland30 Місяць тому

      Those who have been crawling perhaps are starting to straighten up. The whole of the western world seems to be voting to throw out the current party in power in their country regardless of its political bent. It's a sign people have reached their breaking point. Will this continue and be another global sea chance (ala the 1500's, late 1700's, 1848, post WWII) or will things die back down? I'm guessing it's an historical moment of change. I sense it, Colette is sensing it (thus her rant), and I think you are sensing it as your mind harkens back to Schiller's observant quote.

    I believe animals have beautiful caring souls! I find i like animals more than humans. My husband is battling cancer right now. Our cat is such a comfort to him. He calls him his C.A.T caregiver assistant technician! We feed the birds , chipmunks, and have bunnies in our yard. I feel closer to God walking in the woods than i would in any church. I live in the USA . Right now I try to ignore the craziness happening. I focus on my family. We also buy food at our local farm and live simply. I wish more people were as level headed as you Collette. All the best to you and the wee girl❤

    Good morning Colette, I am A Celtic Pagan Woman, of the same mind, I feel there is no-one representing me, or people like me, aged 73 on the 3rd of July. I shall not be casting my vote. I represent myself, my sister is of the same mind. I didn't want my local library to close, I went along to the local meetings had my say, I don't want to live in a place where the small shops are being eaten up by large businesses but they are, I don't want to live in a small village where there is no longer a bank I can go to, but I do, all these changes being made and we the local people some families have been here for generations I have lived here for 50 years, it was a lovely community, still is, the local government and big businessmen no one ever sees, are trying to kill off small businesses. Once again we the locals are ignored . We are only one community of many across England that is being ignored. The local Government have no power, money is the power, It is only on paper or figures on a broad sheet, but billions of £,$ or € are being bartered against lives...
    Love is free, Hope is free,
    We need more of both.
    Hugs and Blessings. 💚🌹👏

    I fully enjoyed your rant. I am so thankful when people choose to have real conversations rather than talk about gossip and fluff, it’s not easy nor popular following one’s moral compass. I always felt it was a curse as I couldn’t enjoy “normal” pursuits like everyone else. The last five years has taught me that I am blessed for following it. I started following your channel for the walks and the scenery, however, I enjoy your wise counsel even more. Thank you, Colette!

    I recently listened to a few rants that were sheer lunacy, but it is refreshing to hear one that I can actually relate to. I have never been mainstrean and never will be. I continue to prepare for a solitary retreat when my caretaking of my mom is done. Patsy is such a sweetie popping up every now and then. I imagine her saying one should always go for a walk after a good rant mum.

    • @mikeinportland30
      @mikeinportland30 Місяць тому +2

      Try to step out of your routine of the work of caring for your mom periodically (mentally and physically) and just sit and be with her, maybe just hold her hand or or look at her or whatever language your family uses to understand. You will be grateful for those moments when she is gone and they will be what you remember even when 99% of your care actually involves work. I was there, I know. The care givers are under appreciated, but not by those receiving the care even if they can't, don't express it.❤️🙏

    Blessings to you too Colette, and of course Patsy. I feel that many of us (those who are aware more so) are totally done with all the nonsense that is happening around us at this time. Common sense is not common anymore, and I feel that the best that we can do is to hold our light, think positively, and generate a joyful energy to project out to all that exists. Of course, we need to 'get it off our chest' as well with all the stupidity and toxicity that we are dealing with. (Keeping this simply worded for the YT nonsense). Anyone who is not kind to animals will not be kind to humans. Sending you both love, nurturing, and support in all you do. Love from Australia. xxx
