RE: Oh no, I missed "Voter Registration Day"! How ever will I force others to behave the way I want?
"By the time I turned 18, I was pretty completely sure that voting didn't matter since the folks in charge were all politicians, and all lied about everything. That was just my intuition and some really basic observation, but I certainly hadn't researched the system at all, and I certainly hadn't started building my philosophical grounding yet."
lol, I was exactly the same. I have never watched mainstream media, even from an early age, because of my intuition. I have always known it was BS, it just took me a while to figure out why and know the ins and outs of their propaganda and mind control.
I don't know how so many people fall for this BS. I guess this quote sums it up quite nicely:
“Fortunately, some are born with spiritual immune systems that sooner or later give rejection to the illusory worldview grafted upon them from birth through social conditioning. They begin sensing that something is amiss, and start looking for answers. Inner knowledge and anomalous outer experiences show them a side of reality others are oblivious to, and so begins their journey of awakening. Each step of the journey is made by following the heart instead of following the crowd and by choosing knowledge over the veils of ignorance.” - Henri Bergson
Great post.
I certainly had that sense from my interactions with you :-)
Knowing SO many people who had this innate knowing but had so much difficulty fully stepping into it because of their parenting & school is part of why I am so excited to have kids of my own, as well as helping raise the rest of the kids in the village. Skip the 20 years of ridiculous programming and let the natural intuition be supported & strengthened!
Something I've noticed is that SO MANY people actively know that this stuff is BS, and are generally pissed off about it and don't want to add to it... yet don't see any alternatives. This is why so much of the message I present to people focuses on the ways to operate outside the system, to create alternative systems, and generally trying to empower people rather than giving them more information about the fucked up system. Knowing the problem and not knowing any way to solve it is often more dis-empowering I've found.
Love the Bergson quote, thank you for that!
