And Andy and Stefan, I think, gave really great descriptions of it. Let me add another one.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">And I also want to put this in the context of: There\u2019s really nothing new about what we\u2019re going through.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">It\u2019s different than it used to be because of technology. But I insisted, in spite of the publishers asking me not to put the story of Sleeping Beauty in the final chapter of my book [The Contagion Myth]. And people would say: What could possibly a story of Sleeping Beauty have to do with the corona crisis?<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">But the root of the problem is: a human being deciding that they want to be safe. Right?<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">So that\u2019s why we do this. That\u2019s why you stay away from people. That\u2019s why you wear masks. That\u2019s why you get vaccines. That\u2019s why you live your life \u2014 so you can be safe.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Now there\u2019s a precedent to this.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">So the story of Sleeping Beauty is \u2014 there\u2019s a kingdom. And there\u2019s a king and a queen. And they have a nice kingdom. And it\u2019s prosperous. But they can\u2019t have a a child. And so the kingdom can\u2019t go on.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">So then a frog \u2014 which in fairy tales is the representative of the spiritual world \u2014 says to the king and queen: I\u2019m going to bestow the gift of a child on you. And so then the queen miraculously gets pregnant.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">And then they throw a party and they invite the 12 wise women of the kingdom. That, by the way, represents the wisdom of the universe. That\u2019s the zodiac; it\u2019s the months. But they forgot that there was a 13th woman who they didn\u2019t invite who was \u201cthe witch\u201d. And the witch is always depicted as the stepmother, which is basically materialism. Right? The fallen wisdom. It\u2019s now a materialistic way of looking at the world.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">And the witch says you\u2019re going to grow up and you\u2019re going to prick your finger and die.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">And then it turns out the 12th witch, the \u201cgood witch\u201d, hadn\u2019t spoken yet, so she said: \u201cThis is a very powerful spell. I can\u2019t undo it. But I can turn it from \u2018you\u2019ll fall down dead\u2019 to \u2018you\u2019ll just fall down asleep\u2019.\u201d Right?<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">So then the king and the queen and all the kingdom do exactly what we\u2019re doing now. They get rid of all the spindles and all the prickery things in the kingdom. Their goal is to make everybody safe. Well, at least the princess.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">The problem is \u2014 the only time you\u2019re safe is when you\u2019re six feet under. That\u2019s it. If you\u2019re a living, breathing human being you encounter danger. That\u2019s how we grow and live.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">So inevitably \u2014 inevitably \u2014 the princess grows up. Lo and behold, she pricks her finger.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">The whole country, the whole kingdom, goes into lockdown. Just like now.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">The bread makers can\u2019t make bread. The people can\u2019t go to work. There\u2019s no economic activity. They steal all your money. The whole kingdom is in lockdown.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">The princess is asleep. And then the kingdom is engulfed in toxic thorns. Right?<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Just like us. Toxic thorns. Because we tried to be safe. That never works. Everybody\u2019s on lockdown. Same as now. And then people try to save her. But they\u2019re killed by the thorns.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Until one day a young boy hears about it. And he hears about that there\u2019s this beautiful princess. And he could save her. And they say, \u201cNo, don\u2019t do it. Don\u2019t do it. You\u2019ll get killed like everybody else.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">And he says the words that solve this whole problem. You know what the words were? In every edition he says, \u201cNo, I\u2019m not afraid. I\u2019m not afraid. I go in.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">What happens? The thorns part. The thorns have no power over somebody who\u2019s not afraid.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">What\u2019s the worst thing that can happen? He dies.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">You\u2019re gonna die anyways. I mean, I don\u2019t want people to die. Right? I don\u2019t want people to jump off cliffs for no reason. But if your goal is to be safe, you\u2019re dead.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">So he didn\u2019t care. He didn\u2019t know what was going to happen. He\u2019s not afraid. Saves the princess. Life goes on. We\u2019re all good.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">That\u2019s what we need to happen here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/truthcomestolight.com\/dr-tom-cowan-if-your-goal-is-to-be-safe-youre-dead-perspectives-on-the-sleeping-beauty-fairytale\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr Tom Cowan on the parallels between the ongoing Covid crisis and the tale of Sleeping Beauty<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":39262,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[61,105],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-229544","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-Commentary","category-coronavirus"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/229544","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/39262"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=229544"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/229544\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":229545,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/229544\/revisions\/229545"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=229544"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=229544"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=229544"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
