@EternallyGod I'm sure there are many barriers to opening up a new way of living...and certain skills and resources are needed...first thought, you need the motivation. I've met plenty of people happy at the bottom ...not just from apathy or any fears of trying something else...but they can accept their environment for what it is and oft even adore it...and their fellow people they share it with...love is a powerful thing...and we meet many folk like that when travelling with Peter...he seems to be a magnet for them, for their smiles, to hear about their issues...and how they are doing their best to cut a life through the forests around them...

It's true...how the thoughts of people affect the weather sometimes. And I just read a book called the Wanderer in the Spirit Land...and there the state of people's spirits, or souls, determines the weather, the environment, how they look...everything. They still think they are on earth...and cannot understand why is it so dark and dingy...but even some places on the earth can be like that...sounds like that valley may be one of em.

@deannehuizenga4845 That hit me real hard too...I have seen the same slippery slope happen to my former coal mining village...these places were amazing...such genuine warmth...and really tough too...then, consigned by corrupt politicians and crooked bankers and brokers to life on the dole...onve mines were closed and the villages fell apart...the world is brutal at times...

@jhardeman4 But the system has made it a competition...not easy to stand outside that mentality... and see life as a gift and opportunity for fulfilment...

I was a coal miner...not far from Sheffield Steel works...and around the same time as Reagan...Thatcher did the same to Britain...we sensed what it was about, and the high stakes when we went on strike in 84...we went a whole year...no work or pay...and a lot would have gone on and on...me for one...for we knew that the country and our communities would never be the same again...the Govt charged billions to the taxpayer to defeat us...then not long after when the strength of the union had gone along with our jobs...they began looting our pension scheme...and asset stripped the nationalised industries...that went for a song to corporate companies...all paid for by tax paying workers...stolen by tax evading rich...Ironic that the new Labour govt is actually looking into the Pension, and we may be due some compensation...but we'll never get our jobs, and community happiness back. Some of the poorest places in the UK now...the former mining areas in S Wales, Kent, Scotland, and my home near Barnsley in Yorkshire. All driven by greed...and the desperation of a sml group of gluttonous crooks who sold their ideas for world domination the back door way to the international leaders...who bought into the madness of it without flinching at the millions of jobs lost, the loss of the working class way of life, the voice and conscience of the country. Leaders should set a good example, but these c rooks taught folk that stealing and lying were the way to success...which was measured by how you owned, how much money you had...how much power...and how little accountability it could all be attained at. Not surprising these economic models encouraged tax evasion...which one of our recent PMs father did very well out of...and paid to perpetuate the system by sending him to Eton..And for some, Thatcher is their hero...but not usually the workers...they hate her. Apart from the ones who did well out of her...they loved her, but still lost their jobs...seeking fool's gold trusting a base liar and crook.

Thats how it feels...all just museum exhibits. They did the same to my home lands...coal mining and steel...now all turned to dust...apart from a few museums...but like you said...the place is a museum...and apart from a few lively folk...the folk look in a ghoulish and haunted state...

Big Business does not care for the social side...not normally...just the money

Not to some of my mates they are not...Donald Duck, Mickey Mouse and the others they are not...they'd be lost without Disney world...

We see strange people in strange circumstances...in spontaneous situations...it's like magic...and there is always a no of stories to be told...and more and more like Glen see an end to the world as we see it. And that's good...for we have all experiences changes...sometimes dramatic ones...as these towns had...not so long ago-music, work, money, big cars, thriving communities, many people...lots of life and love...now much of it turned to dust...just as the world will be soon...much of it-sadly. So we have to ask ourselves when we see these issues, these losses...this grief and sadness...these threats...why are we not avoiding them, and making a beautiful world...and not adding plasters where deep gaping wounds are most apparent...we need a different system...and we need to work out what that system is...and fast...until then...watch Peter's videos...and gain an insight into some of the realities out there, good and bad...

The State needs to step up too though...create systems that people can thrive in without selling their souls to the devil...

Will it rust completely one day...and fall into ashes?

The place may need it on one hand, but can the folk around there afford to pay to go? A compromise will have to be made...but every neighbourhood should have a community centre of some kind, where people can do a no of things... to satisfy their basic needs...and others too

@Cat-ik1wo The Book will demonstrate how the lives and attitudes of earthmen form their environments...and how these connect with other worlds, including prototypes for each place...as for every place there is a light prototype, where the better people go...and then a dark plane, where darker folk go. These then subsequently influence the very same location on earth. In addition...certain types of souls remain in their astral bodies due to their lack of vitality, and oft various addictions...so they struggle to leave the graveyard for some time, they are too heavy, and so their perspective is narrow in the beyond when they pass...as their spiritual eyes and ears are closed. Then, even if they do become free from where they were buried, they roam the astral plane...using earthmen to feed off them in accord with their respective addictions, strengthening human propensities for drink, drugs, crime, etc. Likes attract likes in such cases. Their moods are highlighted in the landscape and weather too, for nature beings reflect men's moods and deeds in their surroundings...affecting the earth too. It's all about magnetism and radiations, and the fact that we all have the opportunity to receive neutral energy, but we are then the lens that manipulates it into differing forms, some good, some not so good. If all people were light...earth would be like paradise! Instead, people mostly chase fool's gold in the many forms of pleasures. The loss of community life will be hard on the locals, and like the natives during the 1800s...their loss and grief lead to issues with mental health...and addictions. This is when some of the natives lost themselves to fire water...whereas many people now seem to be losing themselves to drugs...including fentanol. Once such issues manifest in people on earth, a bridge is formed to the beyond...and similar folk are drawn to incarnate in that area. Again...look at the natives, and how alcoholism became a part of their lives, and to a great extent still is. So if an addiction or attitude change, or other behaviour is permitted to run riot untreat...it changes the kinds of folk very quickly...and the identity is lost of the community, as 'black sheep incarnate'. When we improve within then...we help those in the beyond too. Enjoy the book, it is one of few I recommend...as I know it is based on the truth.
