Let’s face it. This isn’t reality. It’s a fleeting world of voluntary make believe only adopted by self-numbing drones too afraid to even ask questions any more.
And they do it willfully. We all do.
Whatever any of us do is a willful act of varying degrees of acceptance or non-compliance. As the old adage goes, “Either we’re part of the problem or we’re part of the solution.” Now apply that to all of the economic, societal, interpersonal and spiritual levels we operate on and there’s where we’ll find an inspiring and meaningful, or dead and conforming, life.
None of This Has To Be
There are no poor, ignorant masses. Ignorant perhaps, but not so poor they can’t wake up. We all have the spiritual resources at any given time to have absolutely thrilling and fulfilling lives.
The point is we choose our reality, even if one’s imposed on us. If it’s comfy cozy enough, the rut fits OK, or people are sufficiently intimidated and allow themselves to be dis-empowered, most will actually be happy to trudge through their assigned trench rather than stick their heads up even for a moment to wonder where they’re going and why they’re doing what they’re doing.
Oddly enough.
And this apparent propensity for illusion rather than reality gets a lot of help. By whom? Not just those addicted to a sleepy “don’t rock the boat” way of life, but this tendency lays humanity wide open for conquest. Some smarty pants power pushers seem to know about this inclination to trust and follow rather than exercise discernment, critical thought and independent behavior.
And heck, like any good discovery or invention, or as the ravenous fascio-corporotist system teaches….let’s take advantage of it and stick it to ‘em.
The Weaponization of Ignorance
If some parasitic force was so self-serving as to actually live off of the inhabitants of a land or planet, what world would they create to better control the population? An awake and aware one that knew it was being used and harvested and kept from the truth of their potential? One where love and spontaneity and loving interaction created a utopian society with plenty for all, as it could and will be one day?
Would be nice, but I don’t think so. They would need to be “ignorant” of what’s truly going on.
If you want to know what psychopathic elitist power freaks would do, just look around at the world today. Something’s been completely and systematically laid out and reinforced at every level for a long, long time and mistakenly we think we have something to say about it. All by design.
Unfortunately, what it boils down to is the only freedom you think you have is virtually the freedom to roam around your jail cell, and sometimes the mess hall and exercise yard.
Not a nice thought, but virtually true. But only for those who subscribe to it. Which is almost everyone, to varying degrees. And what makes this apparent approach so effective? Everyone thinks they’re free, but all within carefully defined and confined parameters.
And the sheeple have no idea.
Our Synthesized World
If you were to describe the way to herd a society, what would you create? I know, sounds Machiavellian, but that’s how these types think. You gotta realize there are people like this–they exist, they thrive on your energy, and they’re using you!
See if these few symptoms fit the world we live in:
- –An inherent need for hierarchy. If the people assume there are those deemed to be their masters who know better and are somehow superior, be it the royalty scam, or the plethora of commercial, political and religious overlords, control is a slam dunk.
- –Economic stranglehold in a world of scarcity. If there is a fear of not having enough in an imposed system of controlled means of exchange you can play the masses like a fiddle at the touch of their scrambling, fearful nervous systems.
- –War brings peace and security. Ah, we do need a common enemy to keep the war machine churning out weapons, burning up fuel and money, and sending its youth to the meat grinder. That should keep everyone busy.
- –Survival of the fittest and domination by the rich. Again, we deserve to be ruled over. Pound this one hard. And while you’re at it, dumb down your populace with drugs, altered food and a poison environment.
- –Bread and circus. What, me worry? Everyone’s happy on Super Bowl Sunday! Bamboozled baboons belching beer and bratwurst while the world burns.
What If Everyone Just Woke Up?
This whole present day system we perceive is a smoke and mirrors charade consisting of manipulated levels of information to create a controllable, presupposed existence. That the great hoards of inhabitants sway to the same rhythms and participate in such things as barbaric wars, an obviously controlled banking and economic system, and blinding, debasing religious dogmas and rigamarole says it all.
And yes, you can argue it’s still a reality. So is the torturous world of someone who is mentally disturbed. Would you call that reality? If not, what in you is telling you it is something more than that poor tortured soul’s version? And to what degree are all of us tortured or deprived souls compared to some vastly greater and more wonderful reality?
Get the picture? It’s consciousness watching through you!
What happens when someone comes along to dare mention we’re looking at shadows in the cave versus the light, as Plato taught? Aren’t these the very ones decried as troublemakers, whack jobs and conspiracy freaks?
It’s Time To Flee the Coop!
Ken Kesey’s classic “One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest” tells the story. The “live ones”, the truly sane, are locked up and managed by psychopathic power freaks who will stop at nothing to control their subjects. Those who dare to challenge not only their authority but their whole viewpoint, as symbolized by the mental institution, will be given even greater doses of mind-numbing drugs, electric shock treatments and even lobotomies.
In the end, the silent Native American named Chief Bromden can’t stand to see his full of life liberating friend lay there in his lobotomized state and performs a mercy killing. Thanks to McMurphy’s constant encouragement to his friend to make a break for freedom, in spite of the big Indian’s admitted tendency to just enjoy the comforts of security, he then picks up a large piece of furniture, smashes it through the caged window, and runs to freedom.
That’s where we are today.
The chief couldn’t stand it any longer. Neither should anyone.
Don’t just stand there. Break out of the prison…physically, mentally, spiritually. It’s time.
To delay is to deny.
A beautiful, fully conscious Universal reality based in Love and Truth awaits, but you gotta act on it. And it’s not some mental state. It’s whole-istic, meaning everything about you and your world needs to jump in however you’re led.
Get there. And soon. It’s your only refuge and place of protection and empowerment.
Love, Zen
I must admit to sharing some of the easygoing tendencies of the chief. But after delving deeper into the illusions and injustices of life on the internet(not the MSM), I feel like heaving a huge desk through the White House front door. And a big fat 12 drawer dresser at Israel’s knesset.
You’ll come visit me in Camp Fema, won’t you? Then again, we might be bunk mates!
I have that feeling a lot lately–one of knowing I know this is not reality but not quite knowing what to do about it–feeling crazy that I feel trapped here, that I am surrounded by people who are nothing like me. I ask for guidance but then go about my day. I don’t really get any answers as to what it is I need to do to stop the madness. I re,main hopeful, though, because I know there is something better. I just don’t seem to be able to translate my knowing into some sort of workable solution.
I like that you are always hopeful and encouraging, that you speak words I need to hear.
Karen,
Your post is the best thing I’ve read since my awakening. Thank you.
It gets harder every day for me to be around other people. Sometimes I wish I could climb into a cardboard box and just wait till it’s over.
Knowing is a burden, without a doubt, and trying to share it has been a futile exercise. I’ve lost my mind in the eyes of those around me. It seems as if their madness is complete, like a finished product, polished and gleaming. Perfect automatons.
The Divine is real, though. I’ve seen it in my meditations. So I hold out hope and pray.
Mike V.
Karen,
Reading your post made me feel a little less alone.
I’m exactly where you are right now. Not too sure what to do. Feeling like Neo, just waking up. Realizing for the first time the true meaning and comprehending what The Matrix movie is really about.
I’m starting to see why I’ve been the way I’ve been for years and years now. Believing for the longest while that there had to be more to this life than what I see everyone doing. The exact same thing! It just didn’t seem right to me.
Feeling like everyone I know, except my bro. are all sheeple. Felling alone because I know of no one who knows what I know. Realizing I’m an NOT alone even though it may seem that way.
One way I cope is the hunger for more info., for more truth. Working on myself to become more than I currently am. Seeing people for what they are, human beings. Being kind to them. Trying very hard not to judge them from what I see. Telling myself that they don’t know any better.
We need to keep our head(s) up cause giving up is NOT an option.
when i find my tolerance being tested i feel the same way,not judging,trying to be kinder and trying to help people and then they may wake up as well:-)
Agree
but you have the importance and priorities of the creator backwards! TRUTH is always #1 with GOD, everything else is secondary and derives from the TRUTH.
so a simple way of putting it would be, without TRUTH there is no LOVE, COMPASSION, RIGHTIOUSNESS, FORGIVENESS OR HAPPINESS!!!
if you don’t believe me alls you have to do is look around this sick and lieing world there is no TRUTH anywhere, it’s all lies, deceite and falsehoods we live in a made up world where nothing is real it’s all fabricated bull dung!
only the TRUTH can set you FREE!!! and that TRUTH only comes from one sorce JESUS the CHRIST!!! call on HIM, study HIM, except HIM as your only chance for redemption!!! HE is waiting for you, but time in this existance is short evil will be dune way with, and all those abiding in it will perish and die a never ending death of pain and agony for all of eternity!
this human life is just temporary and you are here to make a personal decision, who will you follow satan and your own personal desires? or JESUS CHRIST and the will of GOD our creator! it’s up to you. it’s easy to follow satan just do as you please.
like you said zen, it is hard to wake up and seek the TRUTH and free your mind and spirit! you have to truly desire it!!! and that is what GOD has wanted all along!!!!!!!
One source? So where did Christ get his knowledge from? Did he wake up speaking and teaching a day after birth? If your answer is yes, then where in the world, or the Bible, did you get that idea from? You see, the book has been mysteriously crafted to exclude almost all knowledge of the Prophets youth. It has been done that way on purpose.
I’m not trying to discount the teachings of the prophet here, but the ridiculous statement that the only way to truth is through the Gospel (our only record of Jesus the Christ), written not by Jesus, but by his disciples decades after the events. It is also a known fact that all of the Gospel texts have been either interpolated or excluded by the very men that claim them to be the ‘one truth’.
It’s interesting that your way is the only way, and I’m not talking about the ways of Christ. You can never convince me that your single interpretation of what you see as the ‘one truth’ of Christ is the same as anyone else’s, including your direct peers. That is an assertion that a book can encapsulate the infinite within the words of men, and it is nothing close to the one truth or complete truth.
How did you ever decide that God could be put into words? What steps of manipulation came about that convinced you that words written by men, men you have never met and that are long dead, are the one and only truth? God, the infinite and the omnipotent, is now a story written in a book? Can I get the Cliff Notes on that?
Without LOVE, COMPASSION, RIGHTEOUSNESS, FORGIVENESS OR HAPPINESS there is no TRUTH. You don’t get to have it just one way because your organizational tendencies, or its handbook, dictate so.
yes you are well versed in the hegelian dialect! if you had any kind of true spiritual understanding you would be able to SEE.
there is NO possible other ansewer, the formulas, parables and historical TRUTHs all lead to the same place!!! just as the stars of heaven also proclaim it!!! JESUS CHRIST is GOD!!!
your own claim of the opposit of GODS truth, shows without a doubt, that you are of your father, lucifer. a liar and the auther of confusion! but you are so full of the anti-christ spirit you can’t see it.
I understand that because GODS letter to man proclaims it, not everyone will understand and it’s because of the spirit that dwells within them. so you have proven to me that you are one of these blind dumb dogs that GODsWORD spoke of.
I feel sorry for you because you are flirting with the unpardenable SIN, and will most likely spend eternity in hell.
and by the way I don’t expect anyone to just take what I am saying as fact. I urge everyone to seek JESUS at thier time and in there own way I want to except HIM on your own. my person has NO bering I am just a MESSINGER, if you don’t want the TRUTH that is your own personal choice, but you need to know JESUS CHRIST is GOD and is in control and everyone of you needs to make a choice whos side your going to be on, and don’t forget those who want to remain in the middle or luke warm about this will be spewed out of CHRISTS mouth like warm vomit, not a pretty picture is it.
GOD in heaven help these people as you helped soul of tarsis,
they have a fever for something they just can not see the TRUTH when it is right in front of them. call them FATHER if it is in your will !!! amen
please……jesus christ= the big shiny thing in the sky….THE SUN (son)….wake up john..you are being fooled:-) ..
Karen and Mike, you both could have been writing my thoughts. After living with this awareness now for twenty-one years, at times I feel like I can’t stand another second of this. I keep going with prayer and constantly reminding myself that a better world is coming. It really helps to know I’m not the only one.
Kris,
I am completely in awe of your life. Truly. Twenty-one years!
How have you coped with such a burden?
I never would be able to make it for so long. I’d have to kill myself.
My hat is off to you, intrepid explorer! If it was up to me, your rewards for this tour of duty would be enormous.
Mike V.
Thanks Mike, you made my day. You get through by biting the bullet and forcing yourself on-ward every day, like drivng a baulky mule. If you would like more details on how I’ve made it through these last 21 years, read my true story @ http://www.searchingforfernando.wordpress.com
Things are accelerating, we all can see it everywhere, currently the beast is mobilizing in So.Cal. possiably for points south, if its points east, I miss judged the time table and G..T is now. IF its east, a very serious emplosion is brewing, many will not turn on Fred and Wilma, they will turnon their C.O.’S. Now is the time wisdom, strength, if you let them function without cost, they will not stop. Leave them for the fouls.
Fillade
I think I am real lucky to be here on this blog and to read what others feel. I am glad I am awake but dang stresss..smile
Chief Bramden could be the icon of the awake and aware movement, I can see a Rick Dees poster using your image. I like it better than “I’m mad as hell…” from network. He just calmly pulls out the water fountain and walks out. Mercy killing Jack Nicholson is a symbol of letting go of the impasse, the endless , pointless, tedious samsaric cycle we all swim in like fishbowl fishes, year aft year.
