“Anais Alexandra and I (another freedom fighter that will be featured on Community Hubb), are trying to create a music project together. I’m really excited about it, I love her music!”
Tessa Lena is a strongly opinionated artist and writer living in New York. She is a classically trained pianist and singer fronting the band called Tessa Makes Love, born and raised in Moscow.
Over the course of her life, she has done music, linguistics, Tibetan Studies, and has also worked with Indian Country Today, a Native American publication.
Currently she writes about love, philosophy, and the wretched Great Reset on Substack going by the name of Tessa Fights Robots. Tessa’s work is about being human in the world of technology, big data, and machine-like people.
I’ve been doing music since I was very young, as long as I remember myself. I played classical piano and I composed music. Then when I became a teenager it was all about western bands! I also love various traditional types of music and I create art about being human and a world that is trying to go all digital. I was doing that long before Covid. It’s kind of eerie. I was making art about what is actually happening right now.
I’m constantly writing something for various blogs and articles. Dr. Mercola publishes my articles periodically.
In 2017, I released an album called “Tessa Fights Robots.” Essentially the songs were all about the dangers of Transhumanism. That entire album is about what’s going on right now. I didn’t know it would happen like that, it was an outcry about a far away future. (My preference is for people to listen to it on Bandcamp because they treat artists better than other platforms.)
“Very early on ‘I smelled a rat’ in everything that was happening. I started seeing the signs becauseI used to be in an abusive marriage.”
It was horrible. I so vividly remember the messaging: I was told that I should doubt myself if I have independent thoughts, that I’m a bad person, that I should follow the rules. All of that. When that message started being broadcast abundantly around the virus, I thought, wait a second: that doesn’t sound very benevolent. It doesn’t sound like they’re watching out for my best interests. It explained to me what this actually is. My experience with abuse was incredibly traumatic and awful, and, thinking back, I always wondered, what did I do? I was so naive, young and pure in so many ways. Why did this have to happen to me? When the world changed, I realized I was prepared a lot more through that past experience, a lot better than my peers. I was in a position to see through it and try to help understand it. After many years, my abusive marriage finally made sense. Unfortunately, this collectively abusive relationship is happening to everyone now!
Every measure that they were promoting was something I had written about concerning Big Tech. Everything that they wanted to happen all of a sudden occurred very fast. How come? I became suspicious about the narrative very quickly, and the rest is history. I decided to get outspoken around April 2020. I didn’t know what would happen because my friends had very different opinions on this. I had no idea what would happen; what will they think of me? I felt compelled to do it anyway. I gained a lot of new soulful friendships now and it’s wonderful.
At some point in October 2020 I wrote a piece called: “The Great Reset for Dummies”. I wrote that out of mere desperation. I had been writing about Transhumanism for some years. Now, everybody talks about the Great Reset, but back then, the mainstream did not mention this. I felt like I had the background with music activism and observing Big Tech and also through philosophy. I wrote a very lengthy piece that combined policy analysis and art. All of a sudden everyone published that piece, it was translated to other languages. I poured my soul into that. It spoke to many people.
I’ve been writing about this topic forever so my involvement in the movement is through that and when I speak publicly. (I spoke at a number of protests in New York)
When you awaken to a different story, what you do is extremely individual. I’m not flattering myself thinking that we will just organize a few rallies, and the Great Reset will fall… It’s more complicated than that.
So far people with bad intentions have been pretty successful in winning in many circumstances, and I have no idea how long it will take for people to come back to their natural state. An example of the broken mentality is what my friend Steven Newcomb calls the System of Domination. I think this is the most accurate description. Who knows how long it will take for this mentality to vanish. It could be decades, it could be centuries.
When it comes to what people can do when they snap out of COVID fear, there are many things they can do, and it is of course individual. Being outspoken is helpful to the world, and perhaps also apologizing if they wronged anybody in the process for holding certain ideas. Then we should do what our heart desires, we all have different gifts. Inside you know what to do. We should have a talk with our conscience and figure out what move to make. Being who you are is ultimately the most helpful.
It’s in our best interest and it makes practical sense to turn all challenges in life into opportunities and to try what character you can squeeze out of yourself! When I decided to get outspoken, initially I did not feel comfortable because in general I hate conflict. I prefer peace and harmony. I realized that some of my friends might think that I lost my mind. But when I did speak out, I was amazed with how it brought me so many wonderful new friendships. It’s such a great community that I am very grateful for!
The highest purpose of art is truth and healing. For the artist, it can be pure expression. You have to express it to be sane. It’s a magical beneficial relationship for the artist. But then art also helps other people.
There can also be a more conscious approach to using art to help others. One can use music to heal people, whether literally or metaphorically. Art is medicine!
