What caused you to wake up, and when?

I'm curious to know peoples individual stories. When did you 'wake up', and what caused you to do so?

Fingerprints of the gods played a part earlier in my life, but I went back to sleep for a few years.
That big dawning realisation moment came for me watching the icke re-match with wogan and reading Tales from the Timeloop. I was definitely drawn to Icke by synchronisities, it felt like something that had been waiting to happen.
like so many others I had intuitive feelings something was not right all my life, and I was already disgusted with the world and its leaders, but to see it all written down in a book blew my mind

synchronisities, but that could just mean nothing.

February 2008 was the time I found David Icke but I have been "awake" long before but couldn't put the finger on it.

I was about 5 years old and had to go to school. All activities were initiated via the ringing of a pavlovian bell. In the playground we were expected to queue in lines and only to act on their orders. When I started my lessons they used operant conditioning in the form of woodwork classes, two at a time. They expected people to rush to it and all put their hands up in eager anticipation that they would be the next two to be chosen.

I therefore never even started to believe them, not even at 5 years old and I would purposefully act in a way that was contrary to what I knew they were trying to get us to do and think. When questioned about why I did not act according to what they wanted I asked them why they were doing these things in the way they were. They could never get me though, I never did anything they could actually punish me for in order to set and example to others.

I was born awake... but forgot somehow after being forced to go to school. I tried to stay awake and got really depressed as a teen so I shut myself off.

I always knew that things were off... wondering most of all why people were separated as they are by class and creed, also wondered why we have boundaries on land that as Earth's people should be tread on and explored freely. Politicians reminded me of androids and people in general were just so negative.

It was until I started to vanquish my own fears and begin to have lucid dreams simultaneously with discovering David's work that I awakened again about 8 years ago.:)

Never did awake, but there was a period where my awareness of many a things shot up. Then it slowed down again.

I've always questioned authority and have always had a sense that something's not right with our government.

The turning point for me, I guess, would be the events of 9/11. My first reaction to that "attack" was one of disbelief and the names of Bush & Cheney first came to mind. I had wondered if it our govt. had a hand in this.

I even wrote an article about my views and sent it off to my friends and family but never received any responses. This was before I discovered blogging.

My "waking up" experience has been a little slow though, because I've had a challenging time wrapping my head around the fact that things could be this *ucked up. I still struggle with that sometimes .. then I discovered David Icke's books. And while I again, have a hard time wrapping my head around some of his views, I also believe there is far more truth to all of this than many people seem willing or able to accept ...

I'm slow to wake up .. but better than being in complete denial and ignorance about what's really going on around us ...

The global warming lie and the media fawning of serial child neglecters/possible killers Gerry and Kate McCann.

After these two events all bets were off for a normal life.

It is hard to answer both questions. Over time especially in recent years i have been more "awake" in the outside five sense way. That naturally lead to an understanding of culture control, assasinations etc and conspiracy in general, in the five sense kind of awake. Some things are quite tangible and evident without much research needed. Some things were read, most was self-discovered. Things have come to me in dreams and visions, and through that ring of truth u hear. Anyways, in my experience, all possibilities should always be open, thats just that nature of life.

I think I "woke up" one day, a Sunday, to be precise. I was in church, because I was raised as a Roman Catholic.. then.. I was looking at the priest, and he was saying his stuff... and then I kinda felt like.. something got pulled off my eyes.. it was a really weird experience.. but right after I felt that, I started to ask myself.. "What the hell am I doing here?", then I just stood up and left.. came back home, and started to think about what had happened.

From that moment on, I started to trust more in my "gut feelings" and so... I also started to pay attention to the dreams I had at night, and I started to let my "empathy skill" flow...

*Note: I don't mean to offend anyone regarding religion.. but to me, I just think the Church is.. well, fake. As fake as porn actresses' boobs. :p

I have been awake all my life really since an early age i would not conform to what other wanted me to be and at age 6 i legged it over the garden gate to find the world have always ahd a connected with earth and the sun and even at school would ask questions in class only to be called stupid dont ask that . why not , ask as meny questions as you can i still do today ask questions like a 7 year old just finding out about santa . school was hard for me being different thinking and that and when i left got into a crowd in the nites that realy opend my mind yes had drugs that made me my mind more open to things since then i have see and felt alot and now started meeting up with others that new stuff in the 90,s but couldnt get it , may that was the dumbing down of the drugs( cannabis ) i dont know but i dont do it eny more as life is my drug and love every day now have passed over the politics of the conspiricys and nwo stuff now become a lightworker for those who want waking and and healing

I'm tired. I think I'll go to sleep now.

I was COMPLETELY transformed by some of the most BEAUTIFUL experiences I have ever had whilst taking some 'shrooms about 6 years ago - when they were still legal!!

Of course, a top-up is required every three months or so....

Also, I was taking sweet, sweet THC for a few years prior to the experiences, and in fact, it was the THC that tempted me to try the Sacred Shroom!!

Gateway to harder "drugs", my ass....

My wake up call was due to a sudden realization that the airosol operations carried out daily were a reality.Carnicom.com ,educated me to look up and view the sky back in 1999.This opened my eyes to the fact that everything is not as it is told to us by the mass media.The first item of my re-education was to get rid of the brain washing machine in the corner of my sitting room.That was back in 2001 ,and have not missed the rubbish on offer via this awsome weapon of mass mind control since.Gradual education in my case became the way forward and enabled me to gain a new world view.

i'm still asleep and wouldn't change it for the world

read ickes "alice in wonderland....." in 2004, just cos i saw the cover and was like "this has GOT 2 be interesting".
then i read it, and when i got to the end chapters i was like ".....well.....why would you say all that you have done, and then "discredit" it?" so i kept my mind open and bought more and more of his books and began my journey.
i've always had different views and been at odds with the crazy world.
a lot of my views, i developed myself, cos i just like 2 think and ponder stuff. my personal mind travels would take forever to put in2 words.
aswell as icke ive done a whole loada reading on a wide variety of related subjects, followed the work of jones, tsarion, a bit of maxwell, recently found a dude called freeman (he's mint as fuck), and tintin, on this forum (shes awesome).
never been 1 for just believing in some1 totally and puttin my faith in that. i take all information.
1 thing i will say. im so glad that i got in2 david icke's work, cos he puts everything in2 an extremely good perspective in the sense that it makes you QUESTION. its self-empowering....and that even makes you question why u even believe what he is saying. which is the whole point, cos if you didnt,.....you'd be just another mask on the same face. n the term "love is the truth, everything else is illusion".....thats the truest shit i've ever heard.
nowadays, i can kinda link stuff up myself real well and dont need many pointers.and.....

blah blah...i've gotta go and im rambling anyway lol

check my music.

its for the soul.:)
