In recent years, we have witnessed a significant shift in the collective consciousness, as people from all walks of life are beginning to question the status quo and search for deeper meaning in their lives. This phenomenon, often referred to as The Great Awakening, has seen individuals from all corners of the world seeking out the truth and challenging accepted narratives that have long dictated our thoughts and actions.
I love the perspective you laid out here, Kate! I, too, was doing some self-reflection recently, examining who I was and who I’ve become over the last six or so years. What I found is that despite these being the most difficult and challenging times of my life, I’ve never been so genuinely HAPPY. How? Why?
Like many of us in this Movement who’ve experienced hardship for our beliefs these last several years (mine mainly came as a health care professional trying to stand up against the Covid tyranny), I feel like I’ve not only experienced personal growth from it, but I have noticeably become a much happier person...not because of any great victory in the end, but because in the face of persecution, I chose the more difficult path in order to stand my ground and stay true to my beliefs. The end result of this personal struggle didn’t change the world in any dramatic way, but it changed ME in a hugely positive way. And through my own personal growth, I’ve been able to positively affect those around me. As a happier person, I’ve become a better person: a better son, a better brother, a better boyfriend, a better health care professional, and most of all, a better friend.
Most, if not all, of the amazing friends I have made through this movement have had similar stories of personal growth. Never in my life have I met a group of people that have faced such difficult times, yet reflect nothing but genuine HAPPINESS. It’s these friendships that have gotten me to such a better place. No matter how difficult things get, we know we will get through it with smiles on our faces and laughter in our hearts. And to a person, we all know that no matter how this Great War ends, we are going to be fine because we have each other.
Like politicians often ask voters during campaign season, “Are you better off than you were four years ago?”, I would rephrase it to “Are you a better and happier person than you were four years ago?” If the answer is a resounding, “Yes!”, then you understand what the Great Awakening is all about!
I’m eternally grateful for your friendship, and for giving me the opportunity to share my story with so many more in our community, Kate! Much love, my friend!
Very well said Jaytriot. There is no doubt that this community and specifically Badlands has made me smarter and happier than I should be. I have had extreme tragedy in my life fairly recently but despite this happening, I've never been happier or more optimistic. It's because of the unbelievably great people in this movement. We have gotten to know many of them very well and they have become far better friends than people we've known for most of our lives. We all make our own happiness, but it sure helps to be a part of the greatest collection of people you could ever hope to meet.
I’m so sorry you’ve had to endure so much tragedy lately, but thankful for you that this community and the friends you’ve made within it have helped you get through it. We are all here for each other. Much love to you!
It’s part of the journey, but I allow myself to want vindication/ justice in the future for the future. I also trust that all that occurs, what I see as bad OR good is what each of us came here to deal with, grow & learn from …. & awaken us to perceptions that we never could have known. I also grew up as a faithful, ACTiVE christian, then left at age 59, finally after decades of studying to connect the dots of the N.T.… I still have a relationship w/God, but it is more stable, peaceful, joyful than I ever experienced in religion (except in my one on one time w/God). I recommend never allow yourself to be stuck I anything.
Oh, Man!!! You said it all do well!!!NOTE: If anyone feels pushed, compelled to go the “old familiar” route….. THAT’S wHEN YOU GO THE Absolutely OPPOSITE WAY. Example: I’ve been driven by depression/suicidal thoughts/near actions all my remembered life. When compelled to think self depreciating thoughts…. I must take notice & do/think the exact opposite as resistance!!!
You my dear are a gem. I tell my sons that it’s not what happens to you throughout your lives, but how you respond. Life is hard and shit happens, just lift your chin and redirect the shit into the shitter. Hugs 😁
I have a thought about happiness vs joy and love. I’ll try to pack it into a nutshell.
We have been told that we are sinners, that we are useless eaters, that by driving a car or cooking our food we are responsible for the end of the world through global warming. This has been pounded into our subconsciousness…..Enter The Kreat Awakening. Since 2016, we have all been learning that the media, our schools, and all institutions have been lying to us about virtually everything. Some are maintaining the bubble of illusion of shame and inadequacy by watching mainstream newscasts every night, but even they can’t avoid all the contradictions that are surfacing everywhere.
Now here’s the key mechanism. Thoughts, beliefs, biases, and unconscious trauma have occupied our bodies so extremely that there is little room for the soul, the essence of our heart. We live in our brains, replaying all the lies. As all these lies within us are destroyed one after another, there is more and more room for the essence of our heart to enter. We no longer need to pursue happiness, which is a transitory experience of success, we, instead experience the emotions of the heart, which are Joy and Love.
To me it is not about adopting a new philosophy, but rather, to have all the old philosophies proven to be partial or complete lies. This leaves us heart-centered and in charge of our own lives. It is painful to have our internal lies demolished, but it is becoming an unavoidable process. Pain and suffering dissolve and joy emerges as our consciousness moves from the brain to the heart.
You should write more. I feel like you're in my head. It's an old head and took me a lot longer to get here than you did...I dare say twice as long. But I'm here and I am happy, but that doesn't mean I'm done. Obviously I'm not done, I'm still here
Kate, well spoken and from your heart. We’ve been conditioned to strike out at any conflicting idea, narrative or view point instead of having a conversation. We strike out when “something bad happens “…. As if life were to be a bed of roses for us all. The ability to accept competition as a learning experience and how to better ourselves in a loss, instead we hand out awards to all, softening reality. It’s not sustainable. For myself, I am questioning everything, especially religion. Who wrote the books we have? The Bible, Koran, Talmud… any of it? But through all my bewilderment, the constant is knowing something/someone/some entity created such beauty, amazing creatures and LIGHT. Be still. Be grateful. Be solid. Be kind. Be better. No matter all our worry, we didn’t write the story. But our choices determine which chapter comes next. God bless, and thanks for being a part of our lives.
I think this is exceptional- It cuts right to the fundamental challenge- do we simply want a virtuosity validation for our time pursuing the road less traveled? Or are we equipping ourselves with stamina & endurance, for an undefined destination best described as awake, present, and fully participating in our lives?
Kate thanks for all you do. I know it’s hard to put into words what one feels. I know I struggle with that all the time. What you wrote though is how I feel.
What a wonderful article! Thank you for speaking from your heart. This ties in so well with Sophia Love and with Anne Tucker. Everything is coming together nicely!
Hi Kate, This piece is beautiful, well written truth. Thank you so much for your time and sharing your current state of being. How some of us have evolved through these wretched, awe inspiring last 4 years. You're one of the ones that brings the bright side through, hope and faith embodied. So grateful for your presence in this world. All the best, Laura
As a Christian I've seen how church culture can be positive and negative.
When it comes down to living a victorious life (i.e. cultivating constructive responses to personal and collective dumbassery) mere religion or philosophy isn't enough if it isn't connected to infinite love.
What you express here unveils a universally felt yearning.
Since we are made in God's image (the God who is infinite love), our timeless yearning can only be satisfied via love and intimacy. Our challenge is learning the various attributes of love and discerning and how to apply them in any given situation.
In essence, how do we seek the highest good when we feel like shit?
We are all flawed, so we need redemption and restoration.
Religion and philosophy are subcategories that neither redeem nor restore us. And if wholly leaned upon, religion and philosophies are idols that leave empty.
So I humbly offer this further insight from John, the Beloved, on the reality of love:
"Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God...because God is love." (1 John 4: 7 - 8)
It was great to find this piece from you in my inbox, keep them coming ❤️
Lovely article Kate! In yoga we like to say from Peace comes happiness. You have mentioned before on your shows about accepting "these times" . When you accept the accepting on all levels of self, peace is yours. Accepting is not giving up, its just not being caught up in the drama of life. Then you persevere to your goals, peacefully - and happy. I like your phrase "been through the meat grinder" , yep, I have been chewed up and spit out too as many have. Now I like to say if it ain't easy, I ain't doing it. Something might be a challenge in my life but it wont be full of drama for me!
I've come to realize that alot of people are unaware of the truth about our lives because all the ways the Globalists use to depopulate humanity, renders them unable to hear or see the truth. Especially if they don't have faith. Faith is not religion, organized religion has mislead and controlled us, faith is a relationship. And if you love a lie, God gives you to it. 2Thessaloni 2:9-12. That's why truthers that write about it, and Badlands Media that focus on bringing awareness, are desperately necessary right now. God bless all those at Badlands Media because you guys have brought me so much knowledge and hope, I believe your futures are brighter than you could imagine! Thanks Kate, you personally changed my life with 2 videos you did! You're someone who I'd love my daughters to be like !!!!

What you wrote is parallel to what I’ve been studying. I believe the masses generally are looking for the same thing you and I are seeking.
Be encouraged! You are being led by God, and You are reaching the masses!
Thanks Kate. Your writing has an ability to touch me at the most opportune times.
What a wonderful article! Thank you for speaking from your heart. This ties in so well with Sophia Love and with Anne Tucker. Everything is coming together nicely!
