Our discussions about Chronic Lyme, Neuro-Lyme, and related conditions have experienced a significant uptick...

...especially in recent days.

If you click on the banner for any of the above voice messages, you'll discover a broadcast channel our severely disabled survivors groups have been curating for some years now, a project entitled Bless The Vacuum.

These subject intersections are fraught and challenging for many.

A great deal of conflict has been seeded and profligated in communities of people experiencing terrible, traumatic suffering.

In the Intuitive Network, we create opportunities for gentle, patient, respectful, peaceful dialogue so that we can come to know more about one another, rather than being tripped or tricked into volatile conflict with one another.

We are all experiencing severe effects and disablement conditions that have profoundly wounded us.

None of us wants to be in conflict, and yet, the information we must process in order to survive and in order to start to recover strength and rebuild our lives, it can be very scary. It can be upsetting.

There's a beautiful Substack article by Demi Pietchell of @StarfireCodes that delves into a great store of nutrients for this kind of endeavor.

It's called, "How To Integrate New Or Conflicting Information Without Melting Your Brain."

https://www.starfirecodes.com/p/how-to-integrate-new-or-conflicting

As part of this piece, Demi quotes R.D. Laing: "If our experience is destroyed, our behavior will be destructive."

R.D. Laing's writings have been crucial in the network for a lot of reasons, and this is a great one.

One major reason is our exploration in epistemic recovery, epistemological inquiry; how to recognize and prevent epistemic violence.

How to restore the roots of our knowing. How to honor and respect the experiencing of living beings.

What do we know and how do we know it?

When I begin these voice messages above, published at t.me/BlessTheVacuum, The narrative I am unfolding... based in the work our groups in the network have been doing... focuses upon one most important question:

Are we considering the entire evidence base when we engage scientific research and the scientific method?

Are we considering the entire evidence base when we gather to consider circumstances and seek solutions to our most pressing problems?

Are we comporting ourselves in ways that allow diverse others to be part of the conversation, so that we have the benefit of diverse experiences and styles of learning?

This is what survivors of the most invisibly violent intersections have had to come to terms with in order to survive and begin to rebuild function.

Without this, people like these are simply killed. Erased, made invisible, and wiped out.

When we anchor patient, respectful dialogue together and practice attuned, collaborative, relational skill sets...

...we make it possible for our scientific inquiry to be more truly scientific.

And we must always remember that for anything we discover or identify, for anything we feel we know something about, there is a great mystery much vaster than anything we can even begin to penetrate.

That's the nature of our experience as living beings.

The universe is deep and wide and sacred and living and continuous.

And here we are, encountering challenges and learning so much more about ourselves and one another in the midst of it.

What are the (numerous concrete) reasons that Telegram messenger is such a helpful platform for sharing resources and building community?

What makes Telegram messenger different as a social media toolset, especially considering what people are discovering about how social media affects them?

Why have we made it the main hub of our disability aid (and disability recovery aid) infrastructure in the Intuitive Network?

1. Lack of predatory dopamine/seratonin alogrythm

2. Easy to view colors, no violent contrast

3. Allows both private and public function

4. Can function as neural network substitute

5. Volume capacity for groups, chat, members allows for developing content

6. Both mobile and desktop applications allow for both on the spot conversations as well as lengthy developed publishing

7. Lack of targeted ads

8. It's easy to change the colors and change to several differently colored dark modes also!

9. This has been a major disability and communications support aid for my neurological function.

10. Does not artificially restrict access to speech to text.

11. Allows for ease of audio recording even with Internet connectivity turned off (supports decreased EMF exposures).

12. Allows for audio communications of severely disabled individuals when no other form of communication is possible.

13. Includes functions that allow for custom bots to help with tasks; for instance, to transcribe audio messages that are a individual's only means of communicating at the time.

I ran across an older post where some of the links don't work, but much of the text is excellent.

Here are some excerpts, slightly adapted:

"We at Intuitive Public Media have created an online #SuicidePrevention network that provides support to survivors of severe illness, poverty, and hardship.

Our efforts prevent suicide by connecting individuals in increasingly resilient, sustainable, and collaborative communities.

Because of severe neurological disabilities, we do most of our work and communications through an online app called Telegram, where we have the support of our network disability aid infrastructure."

"You who feel moved to action by opportunities to decrease suffering, isolation, exploitation, and violence in our communities and around the world -- we need you."

https://t.me/IntuitivePublicRadio

"The Intuitive network we are using now is based on Telegram Messenger, Telegram Web, & Telegram Desktop applications and is increasingly connected to many other platforms.

Our network is a disability aid for those in extreme situations.

Our community efforts center healing creativity, supporting collaboration, and building individual income streams.

We work to fund the creation of these income streams (on an emergency basis, currently) for active and community supportive members of our network who are developing helping professions and shared resources.

Here are examples of what we are accomplishing every day by raising volunteer awareness and funds:

* * * Sustainable, survivor-controlled income streams that meet more needs ongoing, decrease likelihood of emergencies, and can grow over time as a part of efforts in the community

* * * Repairs to broken phones, computers, and other devices to enable them to stay connected to the network as IPR volunteer transmitters

* * * Emergency eviction assistance where a severely disabled family would otherwise lose their home

* * * Emergency communications assistance, especially in cases of severe neurological injury and with those who are multiply marginalized

* * * Emergency supplies that save individual lives and keep our network running, including food, equipment, and warmth in the winter

The members of our network, originally terminally isolated, are now able to go to work together every day by using Telegram Messenger and other platforms we have connected.

Access to engagement in meaningful work with others is a powerful means to prevent suicide. We experience the effectiveness of this every day.

There are new and powerful ways for trauma survivors to heal and build together in this environment.

We are using technology that is widely available and commonly in use -- now put to the purpose of aiding those in severe disability situations.

#WhyIDidntReport: I was in need of this network, but it did not exist yet.

#BelieveSurvivors: Now it does. As a result, we are all much safer.

Are you one of our allies?

If you are, please reach out to us or to me directly.

Thank you for your courage, and thank you for your time."

From our Facebook outpost:

In the past few days, we noticed it had been 6 years since we began our collaborative group broadcasting in this public group space, Intuitive Public Media on Facebook.

What a journey it's been. (!) Thank you to our coordinating group members and all who follow along.
