Oh my, my, my! I could've written this page myself! I, too, found you through Dawn Lester. The name intrigued me since I know of copper's qualities and the importance of Vortexes. Love this article!

Thanks, Countrybumpkin! ikr, I just can't get over the endless McMansions everywhere! I just learned today from BushWhisperer that the t in 'vortex' is the center, the crossing point, and vor is like fore, the front, and ex is like 'away from', just like a vortex: https://www.youtube.com/live/AzQkt1ElVLo?feature=share . Also, the similar Sanskrit word, vriti, connotes the same twisting concept.

Vortexes are everywhere in nature! Amazing really how simple everything is if we only step back and see. Do you know about how the heart vortexes the blood and actually doesn't function as a pump normally would? So interesting. Life really is a lot of fun when you learn to let loose of all the garbage that's usually taught and what you see so many engaging in. They are missing so much!

yep, Tom Cowan talks and writes about that. Everything is an inversion for sure! Once you figure that out, you have that master key, and you unlock many doors.

I share many of your concerns and interests. Your writing is beautiful, unself-conscious and expressively simple. I like it. Dawn Lester recommended you.

thanks, Betsy. Have you ever read Nabokov? Great writer, but that kind of style is not my thing, b/c you're always aware of the pyrotechnics he's using, as if he got drunk or high to write like that, so you're thinking about the writer's ingenuity along with the message. I like spontaneous conversations like at a campfire, from the heart!

Yeah, I quoted Dawn Lester's excellent book in my Myxoma 'virus' article and made sure it was okay with her.

I have read Nabokov but not for a long time. I have come to appreciate writing that is not flashy and pyrotechnic, as you say--but direct, and the more powerful for its lack of pretension. A writer I recently came across who expresses herself like that is Cole Arthur Riley, This Here Flesh. She writes like you do, and I find it satisfying and moving to read writers like that. I look forward to reading more of your prose!

thanks- any topics you're interested in? I put her on my Amazon wishlist for future reference, but so many books to read!

I'm interested in the topics that you write about, especially gardening, words and language, and "seeing issues from a higher level." I am always happy to find another person with an internet presence who is documenting the lack of evidence for existence of viruses and looking underneath that and other pervasive narratives that are leading us into greater and greater degrees of social control. Oh, and I love the name of your page--vortexes are fascinating to me, and I recently discovered electroculture, using copper wire wrapped around a stick or branch, to bring electrical energy into the ground to help my plants and also, so I hear, to neutralize and clear some of the junk that is being sprayed over us every day.

great, thanks. I will be writing about those things! The name was inspired by Viktor Schauberger's work, where the water is energized spinning through the vortex, and he also used copper for gardening and farming techniques. I believe more copper, brass, etc. garden and farm products will come as people awaken and advance. I've been seeing a lot of electroculture videos pop up lately on social media that I'm a part of, so that's another big thing. I bought a couple of brass potting containers for $10 on craigslist, and they never rust, but so far, the tomato plant isn't growing on it! I'll try again. The other, I use for wood ash, which i sprinkle around the garden or driveway cracks.
