Hello everyone! And a big thanks to @rickthor for his encouragement, wouldn't be here if not for you man.
Extraordinary times! I am joyed to become a member of the Steemit Community! :-) My name is Jason Peter Clark, I'm 34 and I live just outside of Jacksonville, Fl. Took a few to find my way here, but happily ready to kick this off! What an opportunity right? Look where we are now, what we started. I like to breathe that in for a moment..
Okay yess, and so to begin let me start by saying that I'm here for progress. How so? Connectivity. Through this very platform we can expand the flow of information now with incentive behind it, amazing! With incentive comes quality posts, creativity, and hopefully some enlightenment of all kinds. My idea behind progress is also a thirst for knowledge and truth. Steemit is a great outlet for that:-): connectivity, cryptocurrency, blockchain technologies, 'the internet of things' i.e. Internet 2.0.
But Internet 2.0 is just a tiny piece of a much larger pie. Some seemingly understand, but most don't, yet.
Conjunctively though, most can agree the truth has been tremendously skewed. It's important we strengthen and improve new media outlets and other 
means that don't have alternative agendas in mind i.e. Censorship. This mixed-in with healthy doses of discernment can propel one above the lies. William Tompkins, an American hero said it best, "all lies". CNN, Twitter, Hollywood, etc., all part of a much bigger picture I like to refer to as the "Machine", it has many names, and its agenda for the masses: [controlling the narrative, controls the people] masking stories as News; it's not. Knowledge is Power. Knowing how to access and filter that knowledge is key. Blockchain technology now appears to allow a new fight against the narrative and censorship.
Knowledge also gives conviction.
To explain deeper, being alive during these extraordinary times requires a personal sense of responsibility, a quietness within if you will; meditation. That responsibility is being in space at 'moment' and giving thanks. Learning to Love and forgive yourself FIRST and foremost above all else because we are all connected and thought matters. It has actual weight to it. Since everything in existence is sound vibration, including thought. Self-reflection matters, vibration matters, one affects all [reality]. Heighten your vibration heighten your reality. Rupert Sheldrake explains this well in his theories on Morphic Resonance [TED Talk].
Another example is Entanglement--discovered by a scientist named Nicholas Gisin from University of Geneva, Switzerland--which suggests once matter is joined physically it remains linked energetically, [once matter is connected it's always connected i.e big bang]. His experiments imply this as true regardless of distance. Known as this twin-photon experiment, it was reported in over 3,400 scientific mainstream outlets. Backing up the claims that all things time and space are connected.
So how do we access this conviction? For me personally it was truth through discernment, truths that gave me clearer knowledge, and with knowledge comes the responsibility to do something about it. (I'll be sure to explain more about how in future posts).
The idea: like a small rudder on a ship--steering its path--our own collective consciousness steers the path for humanity, collectively we can steer mankind toward an optimal timeline.
Considering more of my experiences; I'm progressing my spiritual enlightenment and raising my vibration through positive thought, meditation and reading, repeatedly reminding myself of the bigger picture, humbling myself as best I can, giving thanks as often I can, and leaving myself open to change and the unknown--being mindful. All Conflict is division but [Question the narrative always].
And so I'm here for the betterment of that pie. Progression. Together we can uncover and expose genuine truths, and provide new thought-provoking perspectives to people. Our time in this space is moving, changing; NASA will back this up, if you're sensitive to the energies you can already sense it happening, what is global warming? What is it really? Q Anon said: "2018 will be GLORIOUS!!!" Well, what is 'they're' right? And what if 2018 is only the start of a much bigger-brighter future, one we all only dreamt about?
This page entertains that, and will not only focus on cryptos but thoughts, links, videos, etc., on topics like: advanced technologies, human expansion of mind and body, collective consciousness and how it effects our reality, Zero Point Energy, UFO's and who is really showing off, Meditation and its relation to sound vibration frequencies.. all to start. Also how Me, I, Jason, have come to understand these topics, where I've been in my life to where I am now, my personal experiences and struggles; what being 'woke' means, how it continues to happen to me, and the connections I've made in contrast to what we see in the MSM (main stream media).
Together we connect the dots through Steemit! A perfect example of the paradigm shifts, progression--let's use it. How deep the discussion goes is up to You, Me, Us. That's the beauty of this platform. Ultimately it will be up to you to decipher your own truths on your own path, like the saying: "you can lead a horse to water, but you can't force it to drink".
With that,
I look forward to a wonderful ride these next few years, happy blogging!
Jason.
