Do You See What I See? Comfort in the Midst of Worldly Deception

By Hazel Fluke

Are you beginning to sense that things are not as they appear? Have you begun to question the truth behind the stories we’re told? You know something is not right and you’re ready to investigate. But where do you start?

Do You See What I See takes the reader on a journey of discovery. With COVID as the starting pistol, the author sets out to untangle a web of deceit, which has ensnared us for decades. She lifts the veil that has hidden the truth about our world, our nature, and ourselves. And she addresses why we have been kept in the dark, what is being done about it, and what we all must do in response.

This fast-paced presentation of views and counter narratives will leave the reader well armed to continue his or her own journey of discovery.

About the Author

Foreword

I grew up with a feeling that many of the facts I was taught in school were not true. I was burdened by a sense that the world was cruel somehow, that honesty was not valued, but rather it was corruption that brought wealth and power. I asked, why? but got no response. And in my ponderings, rarely – if ever – did I encounter anyone who could see my point of view. When COVID came on the scene, it wasn’t surprising that, once again, I was alone in my sense that something wasn’t right about it. So, when my Aunt Hazel first told me that she intended to write a book called, Do You See What I See? about her suspicions regarding the COVID story, I became her biggest supporter. Discovering that we were seeing things the same gave us a much-needed support system in a world that saw things differently. We began weekly phone calls to discuss our insights and concerns.

At first, COVID and the so-called vaccines were our main topics of discussion. We shared our research as we found ourselves diving into a new world of on-line discoveries, which never made its way to any form of mainstream media. We could easily bounce ideas off each other. Even an apparently trivial idea could lead us to revelations that opened our minds more and more. When we put our heads together, our thoughts developed exponentially, in ways that are unachievable with solitary contemplation.

It made me happy to know we saw things the same and it brought us closer. For me, our collaborations also brought an opportunity to express all those why? questions that I asked all my life. Even though Hazel had not experienced the same discontent with the world as I had, the COVID intrusion into our lives made her open to hear more of my concerns.

We came to expect that we would always be there for each other while the world seemed to be falling apart. What we didn’t expect was to discover how our COVID research would expose the underlying truths behind the world of corruption that until now, I had only sensed. In her book, you will read the details of these truths.

I’m glad that I have been with Hazel’s journey to write this book from the start and I’m proud of my role in her discovery process. I am Sara, the niece she refers to early on. We have learned a lot together, much of which she has included as she exposes many of the world’s deceptions, including the very nature of our earth.

It is my hope that Hazel’s book will enlighten those readers who may be unaware of the world’s hidden truths and help them see more clearly what is going on and has been going on for a long time. We are at war with evil forces, which have weighed us down our whole lives, whether we knew it or not. But now, we may be in an awakening process. Are we ready to stand up to evil and reclaim our world? Let this book be your guide.

And finally, I wish you, dear reader, all the best in finding your path in life and discovering what purpose you are called to fulfill. May your faith in God be found and strengthened.

Sincerely,

Lisa Fluke (Sara)

Introduction: A Relationship with God

Faith. I answered his question in one word.

In response, he said, ahh, and smiled with a look of confidence. His expression showed me that he knew what he had to do, what tactic to deploy and how to approach the problem. The problem was that I believed in God. I believed that God is real. He asked me how I knew.

To be continued, he added. The discussion was far from over and my answer to his question simply provided him with a strategy, an approach to use to show me the error in my belief. I was not bothered that he would attempt this because I was confident that in our future discussions, I would show him the error in his disbelief.

I am open minded, and I’m a good student. I would come to learn a lot from Nicholas*. I learned how to apply logic to an argument, to distinguish between a causal and a coinciding relationship between variables, to recognize cause and effect, to observe objective reality, to separate fact from emotion, and to beware of a false conclusion. The right conclusion for the wrong reason is the wrong conclusion. And very importantly, I learned the principles of epistemology – how we know what we know.

With objective reality as my guide, I was led to conclude that God is not real. Existence is axiomatic – a self-evident truth. Axioms require no prior condition. God – as creator of existence – necessarily negates His own existence. Accepting that conclusion meant becoming an atheist. Holding two opposing beliefs is not possible. Contradictions cannot coexist. To maintain a contradiction is to forfeit my rational mind and deny reality. So, I placed my collection of Bibles and other religious texts in a box, closed it and stowed it away in my basement. I wore my atheism for the next two decades. My belief in God was buried … but not forgotten.

* * * * *

That was thirty years ago. During my atheist years, I took great pride in my intelligence. Everything in life could be explained in objective language. That is, as long as the starting point was, existence exists. There was no creator and no grand design. The Bible (and all religions) was mythological. I set my mind to understand my new philosophy, believing it to be a higher-level way of understanding my world. And thanks to my higher-than-average intelligence, I could accomplish it.

Pride goeth before the fall.

As I endeavored to proficiency in my atheistic philosophy, I deemed that the greater one’s intelligence, the less likely he is subject to a belief in God. Until
