A Consensual Relationship
with Gaia
By Charles Snelleksz-Mathelot The events of 2020 and 2021, have clarified what I have known for many years now, humanity shuts off to the truth because it is inconvenient for us to know it. Once we know, we can never un-know!
Many of us have become acutely aware of Big Governments attempts to strip us of our rights to choose our own medical interventions or treatments, and through humanities current fight for the FREEDOM TO CHOOSE.
