I remember when ignorance was bliss.. When I watched or listened to the sanctioned news outlets. Took all that I was told to be true, and didn’t give it much thought. I spent the majority of my adult life keeping up on world affairs in this way… If I kept up at all. At some point, I came across a 9/11 conspiracy documentary… By now, I don’t remember which one, but I remember thinking before watched it… “this oughta be good… Let’s see what these brainiacs have come up with.” My snarky internal voice told me. I never gave 9/11 much critical thought to be honest… but somehow I was certain I knew that the buildings fell from planes crashing into them, and thinking otherwise was absurd. I was working on my computer and half watching… but as I heard things that sounded off… I’d quickly google it to see if it was total bullshit. After a few times doing that… and the results coming up not to be bullshit, I payed attention. After I finished watching it, something had changed. My “I know how the world works” worldview cracked before my eyes. My first thought from then on was… If they are capable of doing this, there is nothing they aren’t capable of.
Once the veil of ignorance had dropped my first reaction was fear and paranoia. Realizing that most things you have been told throughout life are lies, you see foundations of beliefs crumble. It’s natural to feel unsafe. A consequence of feeling unsafe, is fear and paranoia. I dove deeper and deeper into the conspiracy world, when doing this the fear can compound if you absorb this information in the same way that we are conditioned to absorb sanctioned media information. I tend to analyse my own thoughts, actions, and reactions. Through this process, I questioned this idea of needing to feel safe. Around the same time, I came across William Cooper’s book “Behold a Pale Horse”. In the later chapters this book gets pretty weird… and while interesting, I’d need much more research to accept them. The beginning however , resonated with me… He talks about this idea of a womb, a womb that has been constructed for us. This idea is also shown in The Matrix film.
This “womb” is here to make us safe. Or I should say, its purpose is to make us think we are safe. This need is the same that a child has for their parents to keep them safe. But, we are not children. We are not infants. Why then are we conditioned to seek safety from an external source? Can we not secure our own safety within this construct? Is this innate or are we programmed to think in this way? Wombs are meant to be nurturing, fostering growth. This is a womb constructed by man, it is a perversion of the word itself. Corruption of the divine feminine.
While it is likely innate that we want to feel safe in our daily lives. We are programmed to believe we are incapable of securing our own safety. Programmed to believe that so many things on this earth are beyond our scope. Indoctrinated into a school system that merits memorization and drudgery above problem solving and innovation. Given a plethora of toys and distractions to amuse ourselves with. These toys and distractions are arguably the most important things that exist in the average citizen’s life. All the while, those we give our power to create death and destruction within our world, ever cementing the idea that we are divided. We feel small against the system we exist in… What can we do?
Because the machine is so huge, it is natural to fear it. In comparison the individual seems insignificant. Another natural reaction to it, is fear’s father: violence. The machine’s life blood is currency, it feeds on the energy we give to it. Fear, is a major food source we feed to it by the second. It will not be defeated by violence. Violence serves only to create more food for it, in the form of fear. If it were possible for all of us to stop paying attention to the media, stop buying from corporate monstrosities tomorrow… The machine would grind to a halt not long after. This is unrealistic I think… It is not unrealistic however to begin designing new systems, and adopting those systems at the local and individual levels. Create new systems outside the chain of production, and render the old obsolete. Create new truth based media distribution platforms, let the old collapse. In order for this to happen, you must first realize that you are more powerful than you believe.
At this point in my journey, I no longer want to live in a womb. I take ownership of myself and my actions. I want to live up to my full potential as a being within this construct. I do not submit to another telling me the limits of my power. I believe that those who do hold power now are not extraordinary. They are probably just like the Wizard in the Wizard of Oz. No need to pull back the curtain, let them stay there behind the controls, until their levers no longer have any effect. They wield power only because we give up our power freely. If we all focus our energy and actions to uplift humanity, then it will be so.
The Matrix was such a good metaphor for the times that we now live in, very prophetic...
