Thanks Tanja for making us aware of what was happening in Germany and the revision that seems to be coming. The original 2021 article by Alexander Neubacher was frightening in the language used and I suppose similar things were happening all over the world - there must have been coordination with journalists. Some of the information coming out from the UK via the Lockdown files shows the propaganda and population manipulation. Your column is a call - "Lest We Forget"
It IS appalling, Tanya. You speak for me, too. Just as you are appalled by what has become of the majority of people in your homeland, I felt the same toward mine and left it. At the time, I told my brother, "people here have weak minds and weak characters." That may have been less obvious a decade or two ago, but during the pandemic, people showed their true colors for all to see. The problem is, the madness had already spread to my new country. At one point, I considered moving to Germany (because I have a friend there) until I saw the crazy pandemic policies instituted by Lufthansa (which I had used in the past, but no more) and by German airports. (Didn't they realize that they would lose business because of them?) In comparison, Turkish Airlines was far more reasonable, at least for international flights.
About regret and remorse: Although I am appalled, I have compassion for all the people with weak minds and weak characters, because I was one of them at one time. Part of the spiritual growth process is to acknowledge and own the harm one has done in ignorance, and then to make amends. There is no escaping the harshest judge of all, and the only one that really matters: the Self. As one spiritual teacher put it (https://www.blossomgoodchild.com/18th-september):
"For the only one to judge one's life... is the Self. The only one to judge one's behaviour... concerning every thought one has ever had... is the Self."
"Imagine then, the darkness of the Soul … the pain beyond pain that one who has fallen into darker ways will have to endure. To feel every thought and action they have put upon another. That is ‘punishment’ enough, if one is in the thought pattern that the dark ones must ‘pay’ for their crimes."
All of those ignorant people will eventually awaken and will need support to get through the pain that awaits them. We can assist them when they are ready to face it. In the meantime, I intend to stay out of their way.
