I personally feel like the free flow of information is critical right now. Being that a lot of you are in the healthcare field, I wanted to share this website with you. I keep seeing and hearing across significant chunks of social media (Twitter/X, Facebook, TikTok, etc) that information from the CDC and other agencies in the U.S. government is becoming difficult to find or even being removed in some cases especially on vaccines. I’m honestly hoping that’s just temporary or not as significant as they’re saying, but part of me feels like it isn’t an accident or part of a transition. Here’s our Public Health of Canada website if you’re looking for information to share with your patients or even just information for yourself. As of right now, Canada follows the CDC on a lot of recommendations. This will likely change if the U.S. goes in a “different” direction. That’s the most polite description I could think of as I’m trying to keep any opinions I have about this out of this post. I hope this helps at least with continuing to access information. There are videos and information posters and everything is aimed at the general public making it really easy to understand. The Canada-U.S. relationship may be quite strained right now, but feel free to use our resources if you need them. 😊https://www.canada.ca/en/public-health.html

Without grounding in compassion, lovingkindness, sympathetic joyous wonder, and equanimity... what seems to be awakening is a trap! This is what Vajrayana masters call "Vajra Hell."
Nothing exists. Nothing matters. Yet, there is dukkha! This view actually shuts you off from liberation.... sometimes for ages!
The key to cessation of suffering is your parents.... all sentient beings! Loving your neighbor as your self is liberation in one!
1 corinthians 13 NKJV -
The Greatest Gift
13 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. 2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body [a]to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing.
4 Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not ...
