I think the stage we are at now is acting and thinking for ourselves. I think we all need to drop out of this system right now and bring as many people with us as we can. I disagreed with that a few months a go but now I have changed my mind.

We are at the whim of the collective. Even those of us who know the truth aren't free because the rest of humanity has us by the balls. It's us, the people that are awake, and them, the people who drone on. And who's been dominating who for thousands of years? The only purpose people like us serve in this form of mass evolution is to shake things up a bit, but NOT to change the whole humanity, because that is impossible.
Not even Buddha, Christ, or others such as Osho CAN change the whole humanity. They make an impact, for sure. And they serve a huge purpose, no doubt, but what I'm saying is that they don't change humanity to the point where they choose peace and utopia, because even if they could and have, then it's counterproductive to humanity. I don't like to believe it, but it seems this cold and brutal bloodbath we call human history is an efficient evolution for our species.
We are at the end of this evolution and now we will experience consciousness in awareness of itself. Our collective bondage --bondage to the rest of humanity and it's cold and efficient evolution-- will transform into a subjective evolutionary experience (as in you're on your own), and the new way of experiencing reality will be through truth, justice, loyalty, peace, and love. We will no longer be weighed down by everyone else's lake of vision.
I mean let's be honest here people. In our current state, we should not be going to the stars, or have access to free energy, or a utopia. That's like giving a 5 million dollar home to an ape. Or forming an Institute of Technology for dogs.
There is this Native American prophesy which I think a lot about, since right now I can totally say that we ARE in the animal cycle, and NOT the human cycle. " "There was the cycle of the mineral, the rock. There was the cycle of the plant. And now we are in the cycle of the animal coming to the end of that and beginning the cycle of the human being. When we get into the cycle of the human being, the highest and greatest powers that we have will be released to us. They will be released from that light or soul that we carry to the mind. But right now we're coming to the end of the animal cycle and we have investigated ourselves and learned what it is to be like an animal on this earth."

Why have we allowed that !

No one in the world pays such high prices for tiny houses. petrol and then the council has the cheek to tax us ...

I'm not saying don't take responsibility for your life. We should all think positive so that we shape a good reality for ourselves. But there are few of us like this, and even by thinking positive, we are still nothing but black sheep.

Hi There,
Ok. I am going to try to be positive, even though an hour or two ago I had just watched the 'Waco' documentary.
Why are we working/going to school?
Why are we buying food in the grocery stores?
Why are we driving cars?
Why are we reading books?
Why are we sitting inside complaining about the illuminati?
Why are we waiting for some huge event instead of creating one?

These are actually good questions, Devin, and ought to remind each of us to think about the things we do in our lives as a kind of reality check.
I like to think that we are developing from the 'animal' phase of existence through to the human phase. Indeed, it may be, if you are so inclined to accept 'post-mortem consciousness' as a reality and a next phase of our existentialism, that being human is not ideally suited to the harsh environment of physical planes, but that our physical life experience readies us for the post-mortem phase in which it is ideally suited. The physical life experience, perhaps offers a civilising route to becoming human, which might more be a aspect of spirit consciousness rather than that of physical consciousness? I am not saying this as a belief, merely as a possibility.
Thus, the questions you pose are answered in the physical life experience as a way of garnering 'gnosis' (enlightenment) to humane-ness. Suffering for instance, whence experienced can become a motivator to rid the world of suffering, which entails the essential aspect of 'service to others', which imbues a civilising dynamic within oneself. Knowledge can be a means to civilise, but it can also be a means to degredation. In the end, it one's own personal response to what we each encounter in our own individual life experience that leads to the shaping and forming of the human we can potentially become. Spirit is being refined through the denser base levels of existence towards the more rarified levels...each level requiring an experience of conscious life within it.
How else are we to bring comprehension to our assaulted minds?
Best wishes

You lost me. What is "spirit consciousness" and "physical consciousness?" The word spirit means exactly the same thing as consciousness in my mind. It is the complete and ultimate intelligence, the no-thing, out of which the multiverse is born. The multiverse being a physical expression of that intelligence. I imagine you mean soul when you say spriit. The soul is another false-you like the physical body. The difference is that the body is limited to the physical and is mortal, while the soul is also mortal but has the lifespan of the multiverse. From what I understand, the subjective-consciousness which we are inhabits the soul throughout the journey through the multiverse. The soul is what evolves.
I don't believe the death world has anything to do with the issue at hand, and I certainly didn't bring it up originally. I was talking about humanity as a whole. People like Osho, Jesus, Buddha are precursors of what's to come. In their time they are the exception not the rule. They were thrown on here so that we wouldn't plunge completely into darkness (the NWO realizing itself). My only point was that evolution is happening as one collective species. If you want to be independent and move along faster you can't. If you want to break free of the system you can't, because humanity all got into the rollercoaster together and even though you didn't want to go, you didn't have that choice.
Okay, that's not true anymore though. You can break free of humanities boring, dull, harsh, and bloody evolution NOW and move to the new consciousness --the REAL human-- but that is because we are on the cusp of that new transformation. It's right around the corner, that's why people are delving into REAL spirituality (meditation, stilling the mind) at an alarming rate these days. It's MUCH easier to meditate these days.

Why are we working/going to school?
Why are we buying food in the grocery stores?
Why are we driving cars?
Why are we reading books?
Why are we sitting inside complaining about the illuminati?
Why are we waiting for some huge event instead of creating one?
Why are we paying taxes/mortgages,etc...?
Why are we not joining together beyond the internet?
Why are we contributing in any way to a system we hate?
Why do we justify doing all these things?
1: We are sent to school in order to be indoctrinated with a false set of beliefs. From the ages of 4-16 (18), we are apparently taught the official version of historical events, basic mathematics, basic English, etc. in order to progress in life.
If a person can then attain reasonable exam results (a test where you must basically write everything you've been 'taught'), this will enable them to 'progress' in society and thus mix with the 'higher echelons'. If not, they'll have to work their arse off, supporting a regime many aren't even aware of.
An indoctrination system? Certainly.
2: The vast majority of people are so busy working to support the hidden hands they aren't aware of, in order to provide for their own family. It's simply not practical for people to obtain food by other means.
3: It wouldn't be possible to walk everywhere, for a number of reasons. A car is a useful tool, enabling people to make a simple journey in a short space of time.
4: We read books in order to gain knowledge, or simply escape the reality we understand and detest.
5: What else can the average person do? What resources do they have? They have their voice. That's enough. Spreading the word is a worthwhile and meaningful contribution.
6: What event should be created?
7: In order to support a false system we believe to be legitimate. If we don't, we'll be punished.
8: People are. However, they don't have a platform to speak anywhere. The mass media won't pay them any attention, or will simply label them as nutters. The Internet is a useful tool to converse with others and convey information.
9: It's because most people have been controlled by the very same system that they have no knowledge of. Even with the knowledge, we have to contribute to the system to an extent. It's survival. There are lines that won't be crossed. Some people do have principals. Unfortunately, there's not enough of us yet. A small minority can't change a world wide system of control completely - it can simply render its effectiveness.
10: Most people aren't aware. They're comfortable with their life. They're given just enough so they won't rebel. As Icke puts it, 'people don't rebel against being free when they believe that they are'. It's survival.

i like to use the concepts "positive/negative" or "servicetothers/servicetoself" so i'll use them now. the thing is you cannot help who doesn't want to be helped. if you force to teach or explain or help who doesn't want any of those, you are disregarding their free will, which results in an sts type of interaction. without approaching sts, we can just point things and hope that they'll use them.
i really understand your frustration or energy to change things but we cannot change all because it is not only up to you and me, it is also up to the rest of humanity. we can and should try to wake as many as possible without violating the free will of the ones who don't chose to wake up.

Why are we working/going to school?
Why are we buying food in the grocery stores?
Why are we driving cars?
Why are we reading books?
Why are we sitting inside complaining about the illuminati?
Why are we waiting for some huge event instead of creating one?
Why are we paying taxes/mortgages,etc...?
Why are we not joining together beyond the internet?
Why are we contributing in any way to a system we hate?
Why do we justify doing all these things?
Why do anything at all? all depends on your moral/philosophical system and its basis.
IMO this crappy planet and its silly humans would require major major action to fix. It just aint worth it to me, a slightly sweeter life is better than being a colonial type throwing together huts and so forth. Feel free to go colonial for us a start a new communuty. If i ever earn a few million, id invest in some form of community project, and if someone else does one cool sounding id be interested. So, reasons:
1) Its very very hard, taking a long time to get results
2) People disagree philosophically, so u have to be all like minded
3) Money is currently the basis for all economy, to avoid this one needs to chop trees etc.
Id be happy to contribute to something provided
a) is relatively easy - no life spent in intense physical labour
b) i agreed with the principles.

It's just a ride. Your challenge is finding peace while you are on this ride... Of course it's bullshit, of course it's nonsense, of course it sucks at times. But, we all gotta go on the ride. Therein lies the challenge. And it is more of a challenge than most people can handle or conceptualize.

I like to think that we are developing from the 'animal' phase of existence through to the human phase.
That's wishful thinking to me. We'd be doing well if we were even at the animal phase of existence.

9: It's because most people have been controlled by the very same system that they have no knowledge of. Even with the knowledge, we have to contribute to the system to an extent. It's survival. There are lines that won't be crossed. Some people do have principals. Unfortunately, there's not enough of us yet. A small minority can't change a world wide system of control completely - it can simply render its effectiveness.
Read this article by montalk as he has a totally different view on this.

I think a lot of this talk about how we can't change and it isn't up to us and life is just a ride and this is meant to be is just a more sophisticated form of brainwashing intended for people who are more awake than the "common" man.
The article I posted is about "higher laws" beyond the matrix that guide you as you take risks and defy the matrix.

I've stopped a number of those things and working on some of the others, but until enough people are 'forced' to alter their perspective there is very little to be done. If that takes a nuclear war, or mass starvation or whatever I no longer care. I'll continue to do my bit as I see it and await 'opportunity'. Basically if things carry on as they are I couldn't care less about the place, reasons for being here or the sheeple. A nice planet to myself would do me fine. I'd choose otherwise, but hey, if they want to be screwed over, I'd rather be somewhere else. I'm afraid this love everyone is something I cannot get a handle on. There is no doubt that there are many people in this world I hate with a passion and I can see no logical reason to do otherwise 'at this time'.
