Thank you for posting this video, I can appreciate the message. I’m going to sound like an ogre where as usually my views and understandings are more rounded and stable, I know and apologize ahead of time for that, but, I wonder how good any of those wake up videos really are. What exactly constitutes as, ‘Waking Up’? How can a person really know when they are awake as opposed to when they are still alseep?
For instance, after seven years of watching a multitude of ‘Wake Up’ videos and following many people who specialize in sending those messages and being proactive to my best ability, I’m still enslaved. The only difference is that I am aware that I am a slave now, as opposed to being a slave then and being unaware of it. While there is some reward in daily life for being proactive, still, not only am I alone in that in my town, but when I reach out to live and teach by example, there is no reception, no company, no one. How many people I’ve talked with in simple conversation that make excuses, I have lost count. I’ve come to the conclusion that most all people aren’t just enslaved in and dependent on a system, most people ARE the system. Most people are compliant and soft, and are the roots and the branches of the system. It’s far easier to blame and hold others accountable, then it is to change what we are at the very core of our beings. How does one change the roots and branches of an oak tree or a rose bush? Sometimes it feels as if our race of beings would have to be something other than human, to know how to choose freedom spiritually and physically. Has anyone thought that maybe human beings are meant to be exactly what they are, as has been since recorded history? Every single point in history where humans make the choice to be free of enslavement, they allow and encourage it again and again, over and over, like a broken record. To me, for as good as these wake up videos have been, it has crossed my thoughts of late that when humans eventually wake up, they will again choose to become the same broken record. It’s a scene and way of life that’s played out since the very beginning of earth and probably before the history of earth. Take an atom, for instance. Within the life of that atom are literally countless life forms with their own individual intelligences, and yet, that atom is geared towards a specific route in it’s existence. To say that an atom does not also have the same perplexing commonalities as the human body in which it resides in would be false. DNA, Cells…all that, they are geared towards a specific pattern and way and don’t you think that way is questioned and fought against by the cells and DNA? What makes our struggle for freedom any more special than the smallest of intelligences that make up our own body’s? Personally, I believe that the awareness of what’s really happening to the human race is beyond it’s collective conscious understanding. Misunderstanding and willful unawareness are an energy that creates enmass and becomes a life force all it’s own, with it’s own set of linguistics and needs. Once a life force has established itself, like all other life forces, it becomes a part of the struggle to survive and thrive. Once strong enough, it then can quite amply take out it’s competitors. Really, none of us are up against masters and the issue of slavery is debatable at best. The truth is, we’re up against a true life form and intelligence called, the human race, which has created it’s own complex set of linguistics on many levels. I am a human being, I know all too intimatly how complex the linguistics are of the human organism. My question is, how is it that some humans believe that things aren’t as they’re suppose to be? Why, after many successful eons is this change needed more than any other? Is there really any hope that the human race will become something other than it is self engineered to be? If we somehow do manage to change at our cores, then we would no longer be human. So, what is the real drive behind the need of change? Some believe that the true masters of our world are alien creatures, I believe these people or entities are purely human in every respect. It’s the people who would see our race unbound from our purely human masters that are something other than human. I don’t disagree with this needed change, but I do suspect that if this change ever does come about, those who choose true freedom will no longer be human beings. This is not a bad thing.
I do apologize for any misspellings and wrong word placement, as I typed this out as it came to me.
For a very long time now I’ve been intimate with a side of existance that is invisible, at best, to other human beings.
Take a lung, for instance. Scientifically speaking, the lung is a body part of many life forms through which aides those life forms in being able to breath, in an exchange of specific gases. Lets say that I take a drag off a cigarette. In goes a mass amount of foriegn gases that are not healthy for the lung environment and can cause damage if I take many drags. The way I see the lungs is that they are not a body part, they are a whole universe of living intelligences, each cell being a whole universe unto itself, in a collective of universes. With each drag off a cigarette that I take, I create a toxication of a completely natural system. Each cell, being made of many universes, with it’s own intelligences and life forms, would wonder of this slow degradation. Is it not plausible that this toxication of their systems would cause them to become unbalanced in the way that the human race is and has been? It’s not hard for me to imagine that within the life of my lungs and the cellular make up, clear down to an atomic level, some tiny life form with it’s own specific intelligence, blaming some other life form for the slow degradation of their known universe. This is a very simple way of comparing our imbalance, but often times I am reminded of the saying, As above, so below, and with that, I am often in wonder at the larger intelligence I am a part of. What choices is it making, so that my universe is slowly degrading?
Nice to see you bringing Stefan Molyneux into the conversation, Regina. I started paying attention to Stefan when Freedomainradio was just a new idea. I’m attracted to Stefan’s brilliance, but even so, aren’t most of us used to what we wake up too…it is a bit frightening thinking that we could free ourselves from tyranny and the corruption we see all around us. Where would we go? How could that work? Howecver, I’m willing to engage in new ideas — conversation that might just bring us understanding of how we got here …and what we can do to break our chains to the elite that seem to run this world.
