We are not free, because, in the aggregate we have chosen not to be. We have been conned into accepting many falsehoods, two of which stand out to me. 1) That "authority" granted to a ruling class is legitimate. 2) "You" -the egoic centre of your life, the story that you carry with you and project to the world, the little "me" - are separate from Nature/ Life/ God/ Infinite Potentiality/ whatever. This short musing will ponder why the latter illusion is the most important to shatter, if we desire to return to our natural state: conscious points of awareness that are entirely Sovereign (above rule) and therefore immune to being tricked into accepting enslavement.
When we contemplate the fractal nature of the Universe ("That which is Above corresponds to That which is Below") it becomes less about the external tyrants and much more about the internal tyrant (the shadow self), that most would do anything to avoid. Jung said, “People will do anything, no matter how absurd, to avoid facing their own souls”, and when we look at how most of us spend our time* we see nothing but inane distraction.
In what ways are we toxic to our own worlds through not paying attention to those so-called "negative" emotions (...guides?)? In what ways are we allowing these psychopathic interests behind 911 and the like continue to subjugate us? How do we buy in to their dastardly schemes through refusing to examine our own behaviours and lead an Authentic life?
The Ancient Greek proverb couldn't put it more eloquently - "Your character is your fate".
When "the world" (energy expressing within infinite potentiality) turns its attention inward, as opposed to looking to external "authority" to provide answers, then some healing - a psychic cleansing - can begin. One angle Icke, who for the most part I agree with doesn't seem to consider (I could be wrong here) is that the kakistocratic, demonic energies are actually agents for change, for consciousness elevation. Yes, they have been to blame for the ubiquitous (but lessening) Mind Control, but we need to make understanding our motives for buying what they're selling for so long a priority.
Put another (probably plagiarised) way: When we change ourselves through disciplined and focused awareness, through examining who and what we Truly are, then and only then do we change our world.
"The gigantic catastrophes that threaten us today are not elemental happenings of a physical or biological order, but psychic events. To a quite terrifying degree we are threatened by wars and revolutions which are nothing other than psychic epidemics. At any moment several million human beings may be smitten with a new madness, and then we shall have another world war or devastating revolution. Instead of being at the mercy of wild beasts, earthquakes, landslides, and inundations, modern man is battered by the elemental forces of his own psyche."
~ Carl Jung
*yes it's an illusion, but perhaps the deeper realisation is that it is also a form of spiritual currency, which can be used through intent and discipline to create wonders in this world
