Remembering Grandpa's farm while travelling in Eastern Colorado November 2025 by Scott Gauthier. 

Photo of the actual farmhouse ...

"Roughly 35 miles east of Colorado Springs."

"Grandpa’s farm.

"This may or may not be the farm where my father was born in 1920. It is high plains farm in Eastern Colorado near where the town of Kendrick used to exist.

"The only time I was ever here was when I was five years old and that was 35 years after the farm was abandoned. I remember a windmill that pumped water into stock tanks. All the buildings (a tar paper house and chicken coop) were gone by then. This place looks like what my mind remembers from that time. If this is not it, it is within a few miles of here.

"My Grandfather was an immigrant from Canada who came to Denver and had an appendicitis. Since he only spoke French, they found a French shopkeeper who could translate for him. Afterwards, he worked for that shopkeeper and married his daughter. He got in on the homesteading and got 40 acres here in Eastern Colorado. He was not really educated in farming but tried to make it work. A neighbor came over while he was frustrated trying to get the horse to pull the plow. He was having a difficult time because he was trying to pull the plow backwards. He worked hard and began to raise a family of seven on the land. The house was a small tar paper house that the neighbor said he needed to visit to see how all those people slept in such a small space. A visiting relative wrote a journal of her visit there one summer. View it here.

 

"The dust bowl came and forced him to move back to Denver. As the neighbor told me that during the dust bowl, he “ate five acres of corn one night and was still hungry.” Anyway I wanted to show my son Myles since we were in the neighborhood."

Per Glenn Beck ...

"The world doesn't understand yet. We're already in World War III," Glenn Beck warns. "That foe is not China. That foe is militant Islam." 

WTF! I'm just now having heard that! That?

If you're going on living convinced the Gaza Palestinians are just a bunch of vengeful, murderous monsters, you should maybe try to put yourself in their shoes. 

Oh, you say, the situation they're in they brought it upon themselves. Really? Of course, since they're vengeful, murderous, monsters. Of course, they have to be fenced in. And now, they're being eradicated. 

Like that they had to make it sure the Zionist state of Israel would displace them from a land they've been living in for hundred of years. They brought that on themselves? More suffering? 

And now, Beck singles them out as the enemy. Hey, Glenn, what would your world look like without enemies to destroy? Treat us to your vision. Suggest a vision that is inclusive of all Peoples. And, religions. Sure, we don't like "radical" Islam. Radical anything, no? You want to see "radical"? Visit Gaza or the West Bank. 

I've been contemplating on how Indigenous Peoples throughout history have been displaced by colonizers. The good old US of A is historically in that book with a big chapter. The Indigenous Peoples' voice is not heard. Oh, sure; they're savages. Nothing there but to get them out the way.

Yet, there's a voice to be heard. How about a US Cabinet position: "Native Voices". But, careful, just because someone is of Tribal ancestry don't mean their immune to the temptations of the swamp. 

Net, net I'm referring to Ancestral Wisdom. Let's find a place to listen to that.

October 7 is the 9/11 in the US. It's the same message. "We're here. We have a voice. Listen."

This does not mean to agree. It means just what it says. Listen. 

Instead we seem to be listening to our out ideas about what those "others" are up to. With little or no self examination, or reflection. Goose stepping in lock step agreement with whatever propaganda narrative is populating the predominant mental landscape of the moment. 

The art of listening is based on practicing listening to the inner silence. The alternative is to stick with your cherished notions. At least think ahead some to outcomes, and see where cherished notions go. The "US vs. THEM" dialectic is a losing game. "We" is the ticket to ride.

 

𝐄𝐤𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐓𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐞 𝐨𝐧 "𝐈 𝐝𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐝" ...

J. Krishnamurti, the great Indian philosopher and spiritual teacher, spoke and traveled almost continuously all over the world for more than fifty years attempting to convey through words - which are content - that which is beyond words, beyond content. 

At one of his talks in the later part of his life, he surprised his audience by saying, "Do you want to know my secret?" Everyone became very alert. Many people in the audience had been coming to listen to him for twenty or thirty years and still failed to grasp the essence of his teaching. Finally, after all these years, the master would give them the key to understanding. "This is my secret," he said. "I don't mind what happens."

He did not elaborate, and so I suspect most of his audience were even more perplexed than before. The implications of this simple statement, however, are profound.

When I don't mind what happens, what does that imply? It implies that internally I am in alignment with what happens. "What happens," of course, refers to the suchness of this moment, which always already is as it is. It refers to content, the form that this moment - the only moment there ever is - takes. To be in alignment with what is means to be in a relationship of inner nonresistance with what happens. It means not to label it mentally as good or bad, but to let it be. Does this mean you can no longer take action to bring about change in your life? On the contrary. When the basis for your actions is inner alignment with the present moment, your actions become empowered by the intelligence of Life itself.

The Renewal 3rd Party came into being in 2024 ahead of the Presidential election in the United States of America.

The idea is to vote the candidate(s) and other ballot initiatives of your choice.

AND ... 

And, choose to do the inner work of self-examination to clear away those shadows which unconsciously drive our thinking and actions and subvert our heart's intention(s) will failed outcomes.

This video featuring the wisdom of Carl Gustav Jung is worth a serious listen:
