This discussion is so incredibly important! Thank you for reiterating that the world is not black and white, it's not this or the other. The super widespread misconception that it is needs to be addressed so badly and it feels like no one is doing it. This episode also cleared up some major confusion for me around where all this "crazy conspiracy" stuff came from. Because once it is spread among the masses it does start to seem pretty crazy. But knowing and understanding the roots of it creates so much clarity. Last thing, on the spiritual bypassing, basically it sucks because I can hear and see the original good intentions, just like with any corrupted spiritual/religious message. It never stops feeling like a kick in the gut when I spot it. But thank you for touching on all of this! Glad to know you both! :)
Thank you, Natalie! I think a big issue for the "conspiracy set" (whether they're onto something real or not) is their inability to communicate to the layperson. As a result, they sound totally nuts when, in truth, they might be onto something. They all seem to suffer from the same condition: forgetting what it was like for them before they "woke up" and what that transition was like. Breadcrumbs, patience, and context matter!

A good one - anytime we can diss Oprah, and get unfiltered Rachel is a good damn day! The R&R Show on repeat!
