Yes. Softness is what you provide. A rare commodity. Thank you for all that you do for everyone. I am so grateful I discovered you all those years ago.

I was a charter subscriber to Planet Waves. Circumstances took me away. I think I need to come back. I love your heart, Eric, almost as much as I love your integrity.

Eric, I just want to tell you how much I appreciate your work, your friendship, and your kindness.

If I am anybody of note in the authentic "COnVID Truth" community, it's because of you. Because of your recognition and celebration of my work. And because of your invites into some very exclusive spaces.

Your ongoing coverage of my friend, the Late, Great Debbie Rose Lusignan has been so thorough, so sensitive, so compassionate, it truly takes my breath away. You have captured her spirit and her essence so marvelously.

You are one of the few people I know who are like Debbie. You are a polymath, a mensch, and renaissance man. A completely unique character, with incredible skills, humor, depth and breadth of knowledge... and beyond being a mere repository of facts, you tap on your vast world of experience and derive a great wisdom and add layers of meaning to this insane tumult of phenomenal 4D experience we call "reality" (really, maya=illusion, a play)

Thanks for what you do, Eric.

Thanks for your friendship.

It's been a long, strange trip. That is for sure.

🙏❤️😊🙇‍♂️

and a 🌹 for "Nurse Rose"

Eric, you nail the human condition in the 2020s perfectly with these paragraphs.

"The feeling I keep getting is that people think they don’t have time to be human. Yet something else is going on. We are under the spell of full digital conditions, have one main property: they are not human. And it may seem easier to go with the flow and give up all those annoying inconsistencies and yearnings and curiosity and hunger.

Artificial intelligence has none of those issues, though is by definition not natural. And it is teaching us to be robots faster than we could ever teach it to be human. It is not merging with us. We are merging with it. And I am profoundly concerned about this, because I’m witnessing what it’s doing to us. The fear level is just astonishing. There is a corresponding loss of potential and sense of the possibilities. I dare say, to some people this comes as a relief. There are fewer opportunities to fail.

Humans often seem to have difficulty feeling, though we are now being pushed into a state that could best be described as deep freeze. That is the relationship between us and a server farm in Utah where your memories now seem to live. "

Yes, the last art-deco hotel on the Miami Beach strip, or on Tel Aviv's seaside promenade, the folding chair on the George Washington Bridge (the New York 'hood i grew up in ), London calling on the zombies of death, quit holding out and take another breath, stay human. Thanks for your immense efforts in this direction, Eric!!

Hello! I'm newly subscribed to your work, linked through an article in Mike Stone's Substack. I really love to read through your thorough research regarding COVID and environmental toxins. This is the first time I've watched astrology analysis from much more complex interpretations. Thanks and Happy New Year!

Thank you for your tenderness and boldness at the same time. I turned 50 yesterday and read this post. I love the mention of Hemmingway's "Movable Feast", a book I read in my early 20s. I think remember mention of hunger in the book and that he would go to museums hungry to be fed by the art. I feel that there is a loss of longing, contemplation, objection without defeating another in these time. With the constant flood of information that like fast food, gives one the false feeling of fullness but no nutrients taken in, there is a great forgetfulness we as society, maybe the world are in. I appreciate your reflections and willingness to bring forth another view on the spiral of time. I can feel the deepness of Love and care in your expressions of writings and radio shows. The music you share is alchemical, the integration from thought to carrying within the body, the provocations of discussions. It has been one hell of a year in my life and yet, as this next entrance to a new to me decade, I feel that my service is feed this great experience of this brief Earth Walk Beauty, in the ways I move in the world. I thank you for doing that too. All Blessings

Thank you to that soft, Parisian, mentally stimulating, precoscious person that you are. I love what you do. You remind us of who we really are!

Eric, this is a beautiful post for many many reasons. I lived in Paris in 1987 and 1988, so the human in me that lives bigger and fuller in Paris deeply resonates with the human in you that captured these photos. Also your invitation written and woven throughout to stay human and not be taken over by 'the machine' is one that calls to me and I call out to it. Thank you for being this heart led human who held up the mirror these last three years in particular...but for you and your team's work, I don't know where I'd be in my mental grounding and sense of imagination...I love you too, as many people here have said. thank you for making this village for us here...so much gratitude.

You opened my eyes and lead me to the truth of what Covid is and isn’t and al eternally grateful. You remain the oasis of truth in the ocean of illusion and reality manipulation. Thanks for being the Lighthouse keeping me afloat. I still love the feel of a real book and live learning from real in the flesh people. Nothing beats experiencing the Dharma!

With precious stones"

Greetings! I’m enjoying your writings and interviews of late, I’m new to astrology and wondering if you can recommend a book for newbies-I know nothing.

Your comment about looking up astrology o. The internet brings up 400 million links. Try looking at every page and you’ll soon see the control they have in our info. You’ll see that they have erased the internet and that there aren’t 400 million links. After a certain amount of pages it begins to repeat info and eventually stops at page 10, 20, or shorter. Google any word, even water.

Cheers!

I am very grateful that I'm allowed to still receive Planet Waves. During the "pandemic" I always looked forward to your articles about Covid. Would it be possible that you could write a bit about what's going on with the increase in cancer? My son is going thru Chemo & radiation & having a very difficult time. He's told me he's being poisoned & the Radiation is destroying him, but he's very afraid & has submitted to this treatment. He was very healthy, ran 50 mile marathons, exercises & runs every day, but he still got cancer of the throat & lymph node. I just read the book "The Cancer Industry" Everyone should read this to understand why the treatment hasn't changed. If you write about this maybe some people will open their eyes & believe the truth of what the medical profession & Big Pharma are doing to make money!

Keep up the good work Eric. You are one of very few people that are willing to speak the truth.

Thank You.
