Society is directed by a never-ending mainstream narrative which is always evolving, and always reaching new dramatic peaks in sensationalism and hype. They fill your mind with topics they select, they keep your attention on these topics, and they invite and encourage you to argue amongst each other about these topics. In this way our collective attention is permanently commandeered, preventing us from diving too deeply into matters which have more than a superficial impact on day-today life."It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society." ~ J. Krishnamurti
Free-thinking is the ability and willingness to explore ideas and areas of the mind which are yet undiscovered or are off-limits. It is a vanishing art that is deliberately being stamped out by a control system which demands conformity, acquiescence and obedience of body, mind, and spirit.
For your consideration, here are three questions you're not supposed to ask about life in our profoundly sick society.
1. Who owns the money supply, and the world's debt?
Pretty much the entire world is in financial debt, an insidious form of slavery which enables the exploitation of human beings and of all things in nature. It's maddening when you think about it. The United States alone supposedly owes some $20 trillion, while the world at large owes a shocking $215 trillion?
But to whom, precisely?
Money is just a medium of exchange which facilitates transactions between people. In and of itself it has no intrinsic value as we could just as easily use sea shells instead of dollar bills and still be able to get things done. But today's money is the property of private third-parties who rent it out to national governments, who then use the labor of their citizens as collateral against these loans. This is a highly refined form of slavery, which has already put future unborn generations of human beings in debt.
But who, exactly does the human race owe? Who are our debt-slave masters?
2. Who owns your body?
Ownership means having the explicit right to use, control and dispose of something in the manner of your choosing. The one thing you are born with that you take with you to your death is your own body, but do you own it? If not you, then who does own your body?
If this question were already settled in our society then there wouldn't be ever-increasing pressure on those who choose to refuse vaccines. Children battling cancer and other serious illnesses wouldn't be forced to take chemo and radiation under penalty of law and under threat of being taken from their parents. Water wouldn't be fluoridated without our consent. Natural medicines wouldn't be outlawed under threat of fines and prison time.
We are rapidly approaching a time when people will be required by law to take psychotropic medications as citizens were in Aldous Huxley's dystopian classic, Brave New World.
Do you own your body, or does it belong to the state?
3. Why is the exploration of consciousness restricted and illegal?
The most effective prisons are not material, but are constructed inside the mind. Perception, opinion and understanding are all dynamic concepts, not at all static. These can all change in the blink of an eye just because a new idea or experience resonates with you in a special way. Our evolution depends on our ability to expand the frontiers of what's possible, and when the mind is held in confinement by an entrenched system and powerful cultural paradigm, progress, even happiness, is stunted.
In this societal trap you are given free rein to debase your consciousness and your spirit with alcohol, dangerous drugs, pharmaceuticals, television, pornography, theatrical violence, and then some, yet many natural medicines which elevate consciousness and provide a window into the soul are illegal.
"This is the way freedom is hijackedโnot all at once, out in the open, but stealthily, little by little, behind closed doors, and with our own agreement. How will we be able to resist when so many of us have already willingly handed over the keys to our own consciousness to the state and accepted without protest that it is OK to be told what we may and may not do, what we may and may not explore, even what we may and may not experience, with this most precious, sapient, unique, and individual part of ourselves?If we are willing to accept that then we can be persuaded to accept anything." ~ Graham HancockAbout the Author

I read about when Andrew Jackson worked to get the US out of debt. And those who said that debt would be good for America. Obviously, debt is good, for those who hold the debt. It isn't so good for the 99% though as there is less money for services, improvements and amenities that benefit the citizens. I'm for a debt Jubilee. Reset the nations, and all the citizens debts to 0 and we all start over. After all, who would come collect all this "debt"? Whoever it is they'd better bring a lot of friends. Well armed friends, because much of America is well armed
Peter Christ, a retired Florida state trooper turned drug legalization activist makes an excellent case for why drugs should be legalized and regulated like alcohol is. Not only would it generate massive tax revenue, but it would break the drug cartels like the repeal of prohibition broke the gangs. By eliminating their revenue stream. It sounds crazy, but it sounded crazy to me until I listened to him.
Speaking of Christ, who thinks of Christ entering the Temple, the Headquarters of the Jewish Religion, and violently overturning the stalls the bankers and merchants rented from the priests of the Temple? It was like our modern day shopping centres. And being Kosher, the merchants and money changers could charge more for the same offering to God than is what was charged off the Temple property.
Who gives you the Authority to do that, the priests asked Christ? His answer, according to the Book that has been such a strong influence in creating and shaping this world these last 6,000 years, 'The House of MY Father, is a House of Prayer for ALL NATIONS, but you have made it a den of thieves.'
Mark 11:17; Matthew 21:13; Luke 19:46, Jeremiah 7:11; Isaiah 56:7
If anyone tried anything similar these Days, even if it was in the same Spirit of Christ, it would be certain Suicide by Police.
This require strength, knowledge, and a lot of courage.
Up till now I've said that I didn't believe that real change could come from working within the structure of government they've set up. After all, they've had over 200 years to complicate it and make real, lasting changes more difficult. But I heard an interview and have watched presentations by Robert David Steele, who along with others has founded #Unrig, a political movement that focuses on issues rather the party rhetoric or divisive topics. His web site is [Link] (well, that link takes you to a page within his site.). But I urge anyone and everyone to check out his videos that feature his ideas. They might actually work.
@Ragnar:
If Jesus Christ could not and did not break the old gangs (instead they broke him), I don't see how anyone else could do it.
Perhaps some other Christ, a new and improved and more powerful version, with better laws and other advancements and up-dates, willing to repeal and to enact, appropriately and with an iron hand.
Maybe another Jackson?
Let us wait and let us hope and let us pray. Let us believe.
At least, it makes for good religion.
Whilst we bide our time.
ned,
out
The above is one of the most dangerous statements I have ever seen. It's so dangerous it needs to come with a warning.
Don't know why, but I've been in a story telling mood recently so brace yourself....
This year I heard about a boy. He was nice boy by all accounts but he had severe problems adjusting into society. He had solid friends and was equally adventurous being an avid traveller. He was against capitalism and saw that society was profoundly sick. In fact he didn't want anything to do with it.... so he put himself as far away from it as possible.
He experimented with drugs.... smoking weed and stuff. He took part in debates. He lived with far flung communities in remote areas. I heard about this boy towards the end of his life. He was the quintessential hippie. Dreadlocks and the lot. Exquisite music taste.
But this boy just couldn't fit in. He had friends, he had a sense of conviction but he still couldn't fit in. You know what happened to this boy? He killed himself. His friends simply said that he wasn't off this world, that they knew he'd do it one day.
Second story: there are those people who say you get from life what you put in. I interpret it as meaning if you aren't getting what you want, you aren't doing enough.
It might be a sick world or society but that's no excuse to not be well adjusted. No one else will rescue you from 'not being adjusted'.
Be wary of that statement. If you aren't careful, it may lead you straight to the wolves.
In some cases yes, some believe they shouldn't have to work and contribute to society. But there are many who want to work and get used and given little. There's no recourse when you have to compete with the masses where those who stay quiet keep their jobs or pass their schooling, etc. Lowest common denominator and limited resources are to blame
I just felt like, especially from personal experience, that it's quite easy for someone to use it as a means to externalise the reasons for the discomfort they feel internally. Discomfort which usually revolves around feelings of being alone, not fitting in, shyness and anxiety. It's especially dangerous for younger people who are faced with such things and don't have the experience and awareness to decipher the deeper meaning that is supposedly there in the statement.
Ultimately it revolves around pain and finding the reason why you feel it and where it's coming from. Is it me or is it something else?
Yeah, okay, imagine you are 17, maybe you feel that because your parents are shitty, don't have friends etc and all you have to do is navigate through a bad environment long enough to get to a better one where everything will be okay. You know, you get to 25, get out of your crappy community, become independent, meet some interesting people and voila. There are multiple stories like that out there. It's been even done in movies to death.
Picture that scrawnny kid in the school bus, sat alone, staring out the window, dreaming of being in a different place... where he doesn't have to deal with bullies, or deal with a shitty home life etc where he can be free to discover himself. 15 years later he's living in some fancy city, got a nice girlfriend, good job, decent friends etc... transcended where he came from. Maybe at this point in the movie he gets called back home... and you as the audience get to see the contrast between where he came from and where he got to. Not only in terms of the physical surroundings, but also emotionally and psychologically. Stuff of dreams this!
But then you have the other story... where it's not really the environment out there that is the main cause of the pain. The environment might be shitty but still, this kid discovers that no matter where he goes, he still feels crap - he doesn't belong, nobody understands him, something's missing. In a good scenario, you can picture him 15 years later, lying in bed in his fancy apartment in town, staring at the ceiling. From the decor you can see he's done well... perhaps next to him is the most gorgeous woman you've seen, not only in appearance but character... just when you are about to think everything is perfect and the kid done-made-it, his phone screen flashes, he picks it up and you get a glimpse of the message... It's from another woman and that message looks well dodgy.. like infidelity dodgy.. oh, wait... our guy still has problems! Maybe down the line you'll find the reasons why he cheats on his wife... maybe the reasons won't be what you think - that he's a psychopath, or that he doesn't love or care for her... heck maybe to drive this point home,
You can have him make the ultimate sacrifice for her at the culmination of the movie, the one thing that will leave you in no doubt that he totally loved her, deeply and profoundly... yet despite all this, he cheated? Why? Despite the environment around him changing for the better, to the point of idealistic perfection, *shit* clearly ain't right!
And btw, that's a good scenario. Usually you'll have someone who is unlucky enough to be plagued by feelings of being different, isolation and all that. They can put it down to the environment but, usually again they'll find the feeling is in them primarily rather than outside them. You can change the environment but it remains. If it gets interpreted as pain... then the individual is stuck with pain they can't escape. If you are in this situation, which btw is a huge chunk of people, how you deal with it is crucial. You can externalise everything and say its the world which won't do anything to make it better, to make you adjust within yourself. The only path to redemption, as you can't escape the world other than ending your life, is to do the hard stuff. Adjust.
Might as well figure you need to adjust when you are 17 than 40 or 50.. that's why I think it needs to come with a warning. A 17 yr old will read that statement and if it resonates, they are highly likely to externalise... it'll take them yeeaaaaars before they realise they never left the dog house! And that's if they are lucky...
Ps, sorry... I think in pictures and sometimes putting them down feels like you are painting... been especially bad recently
How about looking at the same statement from another perspective?
'And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, which says, By hearing you shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing you shall see, and shall not perceive:
For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.
Isaiah 6:10-44:18; Matthew 13:15; Mark 4:12; John 12:40
Instead of conceiving and perceiving in blame (guilt distribution society), see in terms of an insanity of split-mindedness whose true nature is not guilt seeking to hide in false flag, but a call for correction.
But as many reading - if they even abide this far in what I write - will not understand NO blame - for blame is to the split mind as debt to the outer reflection.
Who splits the mind? Contradictory thought splits the mind. What is contradictory thought but the desire to be something you are NOT and make it true. The power of the mind in wish can be stated "I WANT IT THUS!" and this focuses energy and attention in an investment of a 'personal' construction or private agenda given personal sacrifice - for this 'creation' you trade in the edgeless and always recognition of Creation - from which you can never separate or be separated from - but in the wish to be a power unto a self in symbol, in image and concept. A state of wilful or coercive wishing is an 'alien will' taken to be your own. Here is the phishing of the false identity theft. Presuming the right to create with this falsely framed rigidity of filtering and rejection asserts a lording over that meets dissonance because it is dissonance - but in the reflected experience of dissonance, the wish to be power unto your 'self' apart overrides and rejects the whole and meets a lack of support, adversity, opposition and conflict - that it projects its own mind upon - by interpreting in terms of its own attempt to generate power. And so it hates and fights itself in the 'other' who brings the reflection of denial and lack of light, loss and imperfection, and it becomes conditioned by its conditions so as to suffer the split sense of powerlessness and inadequacy in a 'world' that increasingly takes its life away - because beneath all appearances, this mind, perception and experience is of giving life to that which cannot recognize or receive or share or grow it - and so is the sacrifice of life to a false 'god' or Self-Life-Existence Idea - as if its 'promise' of power could ever be more than a ruling out by division. In other words a mind that rules out love's recognition and extension in wholeness - perceived as the enemy in Other but secretly feared and masked over or denied in oneself.
Actually this false mind doesn't care what questions are asked as long as they restate the problem in terms of a question that therefore can never uncover a true answer. A true question rises or moves you through the neglect or pausing of the use of this 'self-perpetuating loop' of a defence - and is answered in like kind.
Always are we answered in like kind - but when answered in conflicting terms do dot recognize this is the innate power of mind equally giving and receiving. The going forth and multiplying of the Good, the Beautiful and the True is not a private enterprise of a personal sense of achievement as if to be crowned in victory or some grand fulfilment. Such is of the wish of self-specialness - which distorts or overlays the truth with a mind of reversal - that must see all things backwards by nature of where the focus is given, and experiences a fragmentation into conflicted contraction that it persists the pattern of breaking with the father or source to assert an oppositional 'freedom' that factions into polarities of exclusive identities of shifting 'alliances' that yet never truly join - for separateness is held to be salvation - at least in a partial temporary sense of existence from which to judge in power - or in the grievance of victimhood - that is the secret basis for the persistence in a justified sense of attack in righteousness.
Blame cannot be escaped from within its own terms - but finding the hated and feared will seem like a relative 'innocence' by which to tolerate your own split mind - by unconsciousness of the split and a capacity to hold a narrative reality in which an illusion of surface integrity and wholeness is ascribed to shifting fragments.
The experience of Creation (The Intimate Infinite) as hell, is an experience of suffering one's own hate and pain as if at the hand of another. Fear says this is the adding of the guilt of the world to the self of your attempt to prevail over threat in survival - and such fear operates as if your protector because you made it to protect you - and cannot change what you made by belief except to re-own the mind that made it - and can un-make it. This re-integrative turnabout, is the grace or spontaneity of awakening responsibility.
When the false matrix of a fake sense of self and reality starts to breakdown of its capacity to convince you of your reality, the witness to what Is Reality stir and rise to notice. These 'messengers may be 'killed' or recoiled from - but Are the movement in being of the healing or undoing of a fearful and guilt-ridden sense of separation, isolation and abandonment to a sense of having to cope with intolerable burdens made - experienced - real. Until such messengers are given welcome, they remain a sense of interference or symptoms of awareness of conflict - but in acceptance is the intuition, insight and recognition of glimpses of Original Nature - yet interpreted in terms of the world - while growing another by the changing of the mind of the personality structure to an aligning in true - such as can be accepted - not just in the individual - but in the whole. For these are not two - but an wish for a special self, becomes your special role in serving the rewakening to wholeness - which IS being the true of yourself and not a special power to wield or sacrifice or make.
Who you are, and who you think you are - and accept yourself to be - can be out of accord. True joy in being is not a matter of getting form to fit your fantasy associations, nor of trying to 'love' or align with hate as if to change it, nor by atoning for sin in martyrdom of self-sacrifice and denial. It is already given you to create in the likeness of your creator - but this means nothing in a world of fear-creating chaos under restraint. Fear is something that seems done to you and over which you have little and - (wtshtf) - NO control. But this is not so - except insomuch as you have set your mind to operate. Looking within, noticing the mind, in desire for the peace of NOT being slave to fear - abides through the difficult, feels into the dissonant - and gives welcome to the messengers of true understanding GIVEN you - that teaches you who you are by your willingness to receive what you discarded in attempt to become something you are not - for whatever set of reasons that seemed necessary or right at the time.
Ask and you shall be answered is an intuitive recognition. Demanding what form an answer must take is setting yourself up for a fail. Form is not in itself reality. Phishing of the manipulative intent masks in form. A fear allowed mind cannot reliably tell the difference. Discernment can feel a lie without being baited to hate the liar.
Another perspective on 'end-times' is a crash course in self-knowledge. 'Know Thyself' is the only Thing Going On - but fear of self honesty can only seem to know what fear generates. It cannot really create - but through the denial of what it hides to seem to have independent existence. Co creative being cannot be taught to separative intent. But it can be witnessed in invitation to stir from such fixation. Need for truth rises when illusion's spell can no longer hide its true account.
But the alignment in truth is not the baited mind set against an evil alien will. But rather the acceptance and extending of who you truly are as a wholeness in which nothing can come in or abide that does not belong to who you feel and know and recognize yourself to be - in the extension or living or being it. If we do not live from what we receive, we glimpse only to forget by acting as if we don't know. The quality of being in which you do whatever you do is where you are currently choosing to give and receive, grow and strengthen.
A sense of being unfairly treated keeps you a prisoner. But bringing your true feelings - as they are - to the presence of who you truly are - opens perspective that hate and fear lock down and deny. Not in cruelty - but because they are blind to you by nature - and in fear of a hateful nature, blindness or darkness seem the only escape. What if you are wrong in YOUR judgement of yourself - and therefore of your fellow beings? Would you not rather be mistaken and open to correction and joy in being than struggle on in the dark of a 'righteous' sense in conflict?
