It’s nuts out here, any way you look at it. The shutdown of planet earth is under way. Deliberate and deviously calculated, someone’s closing shop on us while we watch them do it.
Drones…passport confiscations…ubiquitous surveillance…illicit raids and incarceration of private citizens…adulterated food, air and water and outlawing of health products…re-education camps…economic slavery…a micro-managed manipulative media. You telling me it’s not shutting down like a huge gulag?
Sound fatalistic? Were the prognosticators fatalists when they forecast the fall of empires, one after another? Let’s get real. Shit happens, empires fall. Period. And we’re in the end of one of them.
A whopper.
The Surreal Factor
That things are so fricking weird is not something the mainstream media keeps track of. Nor does history…unless it’s to their advantage to twist or instigate fear or minimize something for the next generation. They keep mindlessly on with the drumbeat mantra of “normal is now, now is normal”
It’s hard to hear anything contrary.
When someone starts to wake up it’s all too often thrown into the ready and waiting context of either conspiracy thinking or a sci-fi movie, and they quickly compartmentalize it as such in the ever ready “unreal” category. Instead of “Where the hell am I?” and asking around saying “Are you seeing what I’m seeing?”…it’s “What’s wrong with me for not feeling like everyone else?”
Serious deep programming for generations. It seems to be a lot to overcome.
But it’s not. Just takes a little guts and common sense.
The En”trance” Fee
Everyone gets in here somewhere and we all have a free shot to see the Truth. It may appear more challenging for some than others, when the very basics of life are denied so many human beings around the globe and they appear to not have time to ponder such things.
Guess what. You live in the moment, Truth is staring you straight in the face. No matter who you are or your circumstances. The so called “advanced nations” are more backwards than they would ever begin to realize.
Who’s to judge what an awakening or awareness is?
Today, however, is a different ballgame in many ways. Where people were self sufficient they’re almost all completely dependent now. To an amazing degree. From cell block like living quarters to supermarket or fast wickedly processed foods to mind numbing drugs and 
hypnotic television, even Orwell would be shocked at the world we live in.
The Global Cage
Admittedly societal engineers have a huge leg up with today’s technologies available to them. But they’re available to us as well, at least the essential communication capabilities, and so far so good on that one.
The point is, we may be in a prison for our bodies but not for our souls.
Ever.
We can communicate. We can love. We can help empower each other with encouragement and kindness. We can keep the Truth alive.
The Power of Truth
“The Light is more than some abstract, unknowable energy force. Light is Truth. If Light is truth, then darkness must be lies. Each and every lie we tell to ourselves and others casts the shadow of separation upon us. Every time even the most minor deception is revealed and the truth is made known we are re-united with the Light. So, Let there be Light. Those are the words by which you can create your own magnificent world.” – Renee Bledsoe
Just one of many such wise quotations. Amazing how Truth is such a revelation to so many. That speaks for itself about the world we live in. You’d think Truth would be the standard and not the deviant idea.
It’s incredulously strange the world we live in has become. Clearly, it has always been so, with whatever false projected paradigm has been smothering the society of the time, but we’re up against amazing contradictions in a very short time span with vastly high-powered technologies accelerating the plan.
The American experience is only 200 plus years old, yet it’s been rendered defunct over just a few short decades. Surely by design, but that’s fast work at the same time. Other empires have fallen rapidly within their own context, but what we’re being handed is a doozey.
Let’s be on target in our conscious response to all this. Be Truthful, be Peaceful, be Loving, be Fearless.
And be conscious. We’ll follow in the footsteps of the greats. We came here for this. Come what may.
Much love, Zen
