| There sure are a lot of chemtrail over LA. |
"It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife" (Pride and Prejudice).
It's raining now after the authorities and their corporate allies bombarded the skies over Los Angeles with chemtrails more than usual. Weeks of rain during a lockdown, shelter in place, "safer at home," soon to be curfew, crackdown, Martial Law declaration, we have to "flatten the curve" of this non-infectious disease.

| Cell phones killing us and our environment? |
Such pollution has already killed off most of the birds that used to darken the skies, brought bees to the brink of extinction, helped cause our recent weather-modification-drought and beetle infestation, which killed more trees than a forest fire, and seems to be the source of this rare extended rainstorm pattern.

| 5G toxicity isn't a problem. It's done on purpose. |
EMFs either allow animal diseases to cross over by weakening our human immune system -- Wuhan, China was the first city to fully deploy 5G -- or is a "disease" condition itself: Cells assaulted by microwaves expel toxins from this "poisoning."

Why? Dr. Thomas Cowan explained what's happening on March 12, 2020 at the Health and Human Rights Summit in Arizona: A virus is not a cause of disease but the consequence of it, the result of poisoning as the cell clears the problem expelling DNA, RNA, and protein strands.
These dead bits of code are not taking over the cell to magically replicate themselves. It is the cells shedding.

"Wise Reflection" is the way to Freedom
What is "wise reflection" (yoniso manasikara) and why encourage readers to use their own thought processes for the growth of wisdom in meditation practice?
The majority of experienced Buddhist meditators Steven Weissman met during 30 years of meditation and 18 years of teaching were unfamiliar with formal reflective meditation. I hope to correct this lack of understanding.
The Buddha stressed the importance of wise reflection. In an important sutra on the topic (MN 2), he says:
What is yoniso manasikara (wise reflection)? One might call it systematic attention, careful attention, reasoned attention, having thorough method in one’s thought, proper consideration, wise consideration, critical reflection, analytical reflection, or thinking in terms of causal relations or by way of problem solving. It is a significant factor leading to the arising of insight or wisdom.“I say that the getting rid of anxieties and troubles [1] is possible for one who knows and sees, not for one who does not know and see. What must one know and see in order to get rid of anxieties and troubles? Wise reflection and unwise reflection. For one who reflects unwisely, there arise anxieties and troubles that have not yet arisen. And those that have already arisen increase. But for one who reflects wisely, anxieties and troubles that have not yet arisen do not arise. And those already arisen disappear.”
What causes our mental suffering? Simply stated, wrong thinking produces mental suffering (dukkha).[2] Right thinking ends suffering. So it is important to use formal reflective meditation in order to develop right thinking. More
