Thank you for taking the time to read my post @phillyc it's very much appreciated. Yes I very much feel that we're living in a manipulated and perceptually controlled reality. My analogy for human evolution is that of a succession of perceptual boxes, we burst through one only to have it replaced by one of a slightly larger size .. within this understanding we're now living inside the final box, consciousness is straining to be released from the constraints that have been that have been placed upon it. We're at the threshold of something quite profound, but equally, it's an awakening that must be intellectually and spiritually fought for .. I've come to think of it like a birth, the pain, the screaming .. doctors running around and then .. we're born into something new, not a new world .. but a new perspective and understanding of the world.
Even aside from the spiritual concept, yes it's important that we must wake people up to the insanity of our political system .. but it must be done in a certain way .. a drip drip drip of bad news conditions the mind to accept it as norm and so yes as reality creators there is the danger of manifesting the desired reality of the manipulator, it's a balancing act and this is why I move between different perspectives. Thanks again my friend.
