I haven't been there after all.
Let me ask you something as if we have been friends for twenty years;
Do you think it really matters? If you were to find out tomorrow that the Earth is in fact a spherical shape, would you stop believing in God? Would you feel that society is still an acceptable model to force onto millions of developing infants? Would you all of a sudden decide that the point of life is to eat, buy and die after all?
I wanted to believe the Earth is flat. I truly did. To be a flat Earther would have been a pretty harmonious addition to my character. But, I realised it's fucked up to adopt beliefs as an accessory, and it doesn't really matter either way. The flat Earth has made it to the BBC now, and other news channels. It is tagged in graffiti all over Glasgow on cash points and road signs. So much energy is going into it, energy that could be spent elsewhere to greater effect.
When I saw you singing in that video I felt very good. Your desire to help, getting out there and singing in the street; taking a risk for what you believe; it is fucking inspiring. I am trying to do my part too, as I am witnessing so many others finding the courage to do so also. But, we all need to be together.
We can't keep continuing to sing on our own corners and argue with one another about which ways they are or aren't fucking us. We already share the agreement that we're getting fucked. So instead of you and your small community standing at one side of the road talking about flat Earth, me standing at another end talking about how blockchain is going to be the last bar in our cell, and others standing at their own separate portions telling of what they believe and we do not;
Why don't we all just agree upon one thing that we know they are doing to us, and then band together and fix it? This we can accomplish as long as we just look for that one thing we all agree on; which will definitely be there. And after we get the first bit of positive change in a fucking century, because we were together; we will know our fucking power and the rest will come naturally.
I was really just trying to ask, does it truly matter what shape the Earth is? Or should we be worrying more about what shape we're all in?
i hear you - but flat earth led me to the truth of the bible, God and salvation through being reborn in Jesus, when He returns. so on one level it matters a great deal to the many thousands who might have been 'awake' to 9-11, vaccines, chemtrails, gmo, fracking, banking fraud etc. etc. but were new age in their spiritual beliefs and therefore following the religion of the rulers even while opposing their political and economic machinations until they came across one of the biggest lies of all and started trusting their senses instead of the model programmed in their heads.
but on another level it IS very divisive, because it's such a huge mind-hurdle to get over, given the amount of ball/ outer space/ nasa/ scientism programming that goes into all of our early 'education' and belief systems.
for me, the 'official' model pushed by every major channel, the flat circle pizza with surrounding ice wall is one of the biggest problems - it's utter non sense, easily researched as unobserved impossibility, but
the response i get within the community to pointing out its flaws generally gets me laughingly labelled as some kind of shill, showing the cult-like behaviour and belief systems engendered into the flat earth, a point i will be making next weekend at the uk flat earth convention where i will be speaking.
is the pursuit of truth important? of course. should it be at the expense of our personal relationships and well-being? no, though how many in the truth movement would accept that?
can any thing be done? hard to say. perhaps the maxim 'to change the world, first change yourself' holds more true here than ever. we are all hypocrites, we can all do better, and we can make a tiny change in the world we personally inhabit, making the lives of those around us better, rather than trying to effect grand social changes when for most of us our own lives need some degree of attention and repair.
hope this didn't waffle too much. peace.
