To quote Richard Rohr, Founder of the Center for Action and Contemplation, richard-rohr/, “Unless scapegoating can be consciously seen and named through concrete rituals, owned mistakes, shadow work, or “repentance,” the pattern will usually remain unconscious and unchallenged. The Scriptures rightly call such ignorant hatred and killing “sin,” and Jesus came precisely to “take away” (John 1:29) our capacity to commit it—by exposing the lie for all to see. Jesus stood as the fully innocent one who was condemned by the highest authorities of both “church and state” (Jerusalem and Rome), an act that should create healthy suspicion about how wrong even the highest powers can be. “He will show the world how wrong it was about sin, about who was really in the right, and about true judgment” (John 16:8).
This is what Jesus is exposing and defeating on the cross. He did not come to change God’s mind about us. It did not need changing. Jesus came to change our minds about God—and about ourselves—and about where goodness and evil really lie.”

Wildlands strives to alleviate suffering in the world through essays, poems and art: Expressions through learning from the twists and turns along the journey. Love in Action.
Wildlands restores soils and souls.
Being empathetic, truthful and loving are being of service. Trauma is the portal from the spirit to the Soul. Changing paradigms serve to reduce suffering and heal trauma naturally. Here’s to Alchemy.
The Truth
Know Thyself is the road less traveled and is your greatest insurance.
When behaviors, images and words are used to con…either verbal or written, the message projects the agenda. Subliminal “better than” messages, with “my-way-or-the-highway, an expression suggesting an ultimatum which indicates the listener(s) will either conform to the desires of the speaker or else be excluded”. They tell-a-vision, programming others how to talk, think and act.
Understanding the truth about deceit, masking, veiling, covering something that one may be ashamed of, embarrassed by, guilty of, anxious of, is hiding something. Nefarious “less than” messages pretend there’s something “better than” you so that you will believe them. They must convince you that they are not guilty so that they have power and control over you. In order to do that, they must state, with a lot of noise, repeatedly, that they are superior. There’s a problem. You need them or their product. Without them, you will die, on some level. Therefore, they have the solution to your problems.
They have the best end to a means that they caused, while inverting the meanings.
Words used to enslave…
They repeat their written and, or spoken words over and over again. They project until numbness ad nauseam. Those who bloviate without or beyond your consent, knowledge, and/or awareness power over you, and it’s a harmful action. It’s sin. It’s evil. It’s criminal. It’s fraud. It’s fear. It’s a lie.
Do you rebel or, do you comply with spells?
Predators tell-a-vision, programming others how to talk, think and act.
They must turn everything upside down and backwards. They create chaos, and you pay for it. That’s why they need you for their secret governance…do not comply!
Those who scapegoat, bully, harass, engage in gaslighting. They must invert good, truth and beauty. They are mind parasites who embed into the deep psyches of all of us. They have no patience and project their will over others. Their destructive forces are temporary because they are the weak ones. Their lack of ethics, morals and connection make them very poor souls indeed.
Let’s expand to the macrocosm: corporations, Countries, global regimes use the same parasitic tactics replicated with other unconstitutional programs dangerous to wealth, health & prosperity.
Corporations, governments, systems are made up individuals who would rather you take the poison and die than face their own demons. Cowards would rather you take their sins away from them so that they may live. It is dangerous to trust those who poison the environment, education, religion, food, medical and all other systems. They are psyche parasites! They steal. Bandits cover themselves. They hide.
Seek Higher Authority! Do not acquiesce! Say NO to abuse! Say NO to predators!
Predators tell-a-vision, programming others how to talk, think and act.
True strength is gentle.
Know Thyself, be Unified within…there are many names for something greater than ourselves. Knowing protects you from those who are hiding with a plot, agenda…a spell…
You have a choice.
You can choose to believe them, or you can question their words, intentions and actions. Discernment is essential to navigate this world.
Take the Leap: Let Freedom Ring: Courage Reveals Truth! You are Sovereign: natural laws go above and beyond any dictators, their deceit, rules and laws.
Please see my previous Wildlands essay called, Be Your Own Authority, and my poem, The Queen and Her Quack (The Queen’s Quack) for more on this theme.
True Service is to be peaceful, loving and happy. True strength is gentle. In these auspicious times, we have an opportunity to make the world a better place. The work starts within…
Ask, “What person, animal or natural element is being bullied, scapegoated, harassed, gas lit today? How can you stop engaging in that less than noble behavior or system?” (Hint: Big ag, Big pharm, Big government, Big “monopolyptic” corporations, Big education, etc.).
Let’s Unite to Tell-A-Vision to Transform karmageddon into Peace, Bliss, Joy, Beauty: United to Create a Better World.
Breathe…Be Silent.
Forgive. Forgive, for they know not what they do.
Gratitude. Thank you for teaching me so that my Soul serves. At-One-ment.
Love. Serve others.
Know Thyself. Unity is the Pot of Gold…
Be silent. Leave noise. Feel and Know the difference. May the wildlands within be restored.
May you transcend suffering and live in bliss. Please share Wildlands with everyone- especially those you know who have been or are traumatized, suffering from PTSD, insomnia, anxiety, depression, or other health challenges. The poem, There is Nobody Better Than Me…The Con, and this essay, Take the Leap: Let Freedom Ring: Courage Reveals Truth, synthesizes trauma into one simple poem and one simple essay. We all are own “ghost busters”. Trauma is the portal from the spirit to the soul.
Truth Liberates.
Here’s to Anarchy!
There is Nobody Better Than Me…
(The Con)
An original story poem by Robin Motzer
“There is nobody better than me”…
Said the man who hired others to get the work done,
And, report to him with a summary.
All so HE could go have fun.
You see…
Behind the “scenes”, he did nothing, he knew nothing,
He was uneducated with the how to,
But appeared to be the best at everything.
He wore the best clothes.
“Nobody has a better wardrobe than me.”
He owned a lot of businesses.
“Nobody is a better business man than me.”
He was wealthy.
He was powerful.
He was… an image.
Of success and fame,
It was all a game:
a money game,
an ego game…
A Power and Control Game.
Inciting chaos with the things he said,
He had no experience,
Into money, he was born and bred.
Given opportunities,
Given properties,
Given “financies”.
The gotten does not know how to give.
Only the givers know generosity.
Takers only know greed.
The great and powerful man,
Behind the opaque curtain,
Outside for show he cried:
“I am the best at everything!
Only I know,
Only I can fix,
Only I can do.”
To his hired ones he said,
“Only tell me the end of the story,
A happy ending it better be.”
You know…
His view from the top is very limited.
He proclaimed all he did a victory,
With only his most masterful ability.
As he screamed and while he rested,
The scene now seen,
A United front is keen.
The remainder of the world protested:
With Courage the con was contested:
“He is best at Criminality,
Justice is responsibility!”
You see…
For Sovereignty,
Misconduct has karma.
Service is Dharma.
Unity within is to be pure…
Only “The Big I” can cure.
