View Full Version : Free Hugs has to go viral in our cities

Charlie Veitch, Danny Shine and Ollie the Octopus are doing such amazing work. They are actually getting through to the cops and the people, and I would say that they are arguably the most effective of all the people THAT I KNOW OF (along with Ickey, who I am guessing helped to maybe inspire them).
I have no doubt at all that the cops at the cop stations in London will be talking about these guys, and will likely ask each other if they have ever been hugged by them :)
Hugging cops is a MASSIVE step and it's essential that we get through to the coppers (who are just PEOPLE like you and me really), and Charlie, Danny, and Ollie are DOING IT :) They are doing something MASSIVE when they hug cops. You gotta take your hat off to them. Amazing.
Hugs are very powerful in the spreading of love to our fellow man. Why should we fear hugging our fellow man anyway :confused:
There is a danger though that the cops are gonna see these guys as just a bunch of loveable eccentric fellars. The cops will probably feel an amount of love for them, but the question now is WILL THE COPS ACTUALLY FEEL A SUFFICIENT AMOUNT OF LOVE TOWARDS THE REST OF THEIR FELLOW MAN ? - I think that that could be a problem - The cops will probably still despise the rest of the civillians.
For that reason, I feel that we need to make "free hugs" go viral in our cities. We need to offer free hugs to people WHO WE HAVE TALKED TO (especially "strangers") by saying something like "Would you like a free hug ?"
I am gonna start doing that.
Hug your fellow man.
Love REALLY IS contageous. Spread it :)

Thanks so much for posting this steevo:) I really needed a lift and watching that has really done the trick. This man seems really sincere and genuine. What can you add to that?
I love the fact he is willing to be as open as he is. Really refreshing to see someone’s emotions at the surface of their being. We are all ready to decide which way we want things to go. We (can) listen with our hearts open and our minds no longer telling us that it is futile. People do care! People see the loneliness and anguish and want to change it, that is what truly counts, the feeling that things have to be better because we are human beings.
Thanks again:) And love to you man

Lol. My sister gave out 'Free Hugs' at school one day. She even gave one to the stuffy headmaster. :p
I think she gave out over 100 hugs in a day.

Excellent. Thank you for the inspiration, Steevo. This feels so right and I'm going to do it today when I hand out flyers about the vaccine in the city. Gosh, I'm really going to stand out :) I'm a bit nervous, this is Little Sweden after all and the pressure to conform is quite dense... all the more important then, I guess.
If I don't missremember a Free Hugs movement already exists. I even think they have t-shirts. Worth checking out. Will google it later.
Much Love

I hope I'm not spoiling this but I feel I should point out that Amma is Not a Nice Person. She is an energy vampire and a murderer and she and her cult is supported by the UN. Bronte Baxter writes about her in her blog. I recommend it.

AMMA means 'cursed' in the Enochian language.
Maybe we should protect love and hugs against this kind of sigil.

It seems that to the vast majority of people these days think that love for our fellow man doesnt actually exist, and it seems that cops/military have had the love drilled out of them. We need to SHOW THEM that love IS here - I mean how can they be expected to realise that love exists when all they see and experience is hatred/anger/fear ? Let's show people what love is, and that it DOES exist.
In the video (above) Charlie talked about a lonely person sat on a bench. We need to crack up a conversation with our fellow man, for no other reason than you love him/her, and that you feel like chatting with them. I do it alot these days. When I help people, it helps me.
But yes, hugs are really needed ESPECIALLY NOW. If you see someone who looks as if they have no love to give, then give them some of yours :)

I've got an idea for spiritual support.
1) Charge yourself up with compassion and love with something like a budhist mantra on youtube, or whatever works for you,
2) Go to a tower deffence game and imagine that the baddies represent frightened robotic thinking etc, and the tower weapons represent truth and compassion. When a baddy disapears it represents escape from the matrix.
"If you can't imagine that, then imagine you can"
3) Continue for as long as you're in a good mood, then pause the game and return to stage one.
You can specify where you want awakening energies to go with this method, and therefore direct it where it's needed.

Deathcultreject, I dont really know what a "Tower defence game" is :o
But I think what you are getting at is that you can use games like this to help to reprogram/re-condition your mind so that you can more easily over-ride the BS that the PTB have programmed it with ? And the game can be used as a positive thing if you change your perception of the baddies ?

Yes fairyelfdog I have seen that Free Hugs movement a while back on YouTube and on tv. We need more of that :)
I think that it may take a LITTLE time to get over the fear of hugging (we fear that they will think that we are wierd). If we genuinely love our fellow many, we WILL overcome the fear at some point (soon hopefully).

Or sending hugs from a distance, like hugging a voodoo doll.
It's probably best done with games that have fluffy symbolism rather than violent symbolism.

By FEELING love, you are connecting with your true self, and the creator/universe/truth.

That's why hugs are important. A hug could change your whole outlook on things.

Unfortunately, a quick look at google trends shows that gradualy less internet searches for 'free hugs' have been carried out as the last 2 1/2 years have progressed.

We are all relying on you to rectify this stevo, you know what to do. :cool:

I'll do my bit, but it's gonna take more than just me and the lads mentioned in the OP.
Distributing free hugs in a world where the people have been divided and conquered, completely alienated from each other, is quite a daring thing to do (though it shouldn't be). And yet, if anything, it is probably one of the easiest and most important ways to share human love; we are all one race and the love should radiate off of everyone and onto everyone and everything.
Regardless, there are small movements happening right now, and tough I forget who says this quote, 'don't underestimate the power a small group of committed people who want to change the world can have, in fact, it always has been the case' (I know that's not the legitemate quote). Or that other guy who says 'the world moves forward because of those who oppose it'.
Anyways, point is, love is what we feel when we feel the natural flow of life take us on it's grand journey. And hugs are definitely a physical way to communicate this. Though my belief in means of communicating love on a rather massive frame is through music :P.
On a funny note, my artist name for making music is Trezabuggy and the title for the independent album I completed this Summer was 'The Trezabug-Hug: Ear Porn'. Indeed, the hug signifies my huging you with the ambient/psychadelic sounds I have organized, and ultimately, an expression of great love.
What we are doing here is great: let's keep loving to live, and let's keep living to love.

Dear Steevo
I admit, I chickened out. I stood there, wearing my 'Vaccinate This!' -hoodie and handed out my leaflets with a big grin but I could not bring myself to offer free hugs. I still think I did a good job. People smiled and some chuckled. One woman and a younger woman stopped to talk and they were very enthusiastic. Also I felt this time was about the vaccines. When I do hugs I don't want to give the message that I have an ulterior motive.
Hmm... free hugs. Maybe I should start in a bigger city where I'm not as well known to ease up my mental barriers.

I knew you would chicken out lmao :D
Keep working out it, it aint easy. I talk about the love of my fellow man, and about some of the important issues such as vaccininations, labels, wars etc etc and you can then feel a connection (love) with the person you are speaking to, and when I have finished speaking to them I wanna hug 'em (but I HAVE bottled out MOST times), but instead I leave by saying "keep spreading the love". I am gonna hug more from now on though (if I DARE to :eek::D lol).

I'm with you Steevo!:) I refuse to be controlled by anything that tells me it's wrong to care. The woman you describe sat on the bench, I could feel what you were describing from here, It's all around, what a chance to connect.
The heaviness in pit of my stomach when I see someone who just feels so alone. And immediately the joy I feel at having the (real power) to go up to her and make a conversation about the weather, or ask her for the time, or do you know where so and so is? Any pretext to ask her something which allows me to say (anything that connects) with her soul, her feelings and my soul my feelings.
Something which leads to her lifting her head and the smoky, empty lost eyes be replaced by the light of hope of a deep knowing that someone actually exists who feels like it matters that she is in pain.
Love your work Man, I know you can feel the vibe I feel saying that.:)
