...have forsaken us — the people who pay their salaries, labor for their profit, and draw faith from what they presented to us as truth. But when one has the courage to distance themselves from his/her own belief systems and critically examines the substance beneath the words of these leaders, beneath their rhetoric - one can only find an endless trail of control by deception and outright lies to satisfy hidden agendas. These elite are so drunk on their own power, self-righteousness, and greed that the possibility of spirituality, unity, or the ultimate truth of oneness simply cannot exist. They must say "no" at all times so that their artificial constructs and world-views, based on ego and the erroneous perception of separateness, can be properly maintained. They pine for the holy grail of absolute power: one government, one bank, and one religion. The ultimate manifestation of insanity happens when power hungry egos control a society and thereby effectively cut themselves and their citizens off from consciousness, wholeness and the source of life. Instead, they live in a fractured and fragmented world so that only differences can be perceived and only conflict can be actualized. As within, so without. Unfortunately, this has also become the reality of the citizens who trust these people and abide by the brainwashing of a contrived and controlled mainstream media. This threatens the diversity, sanctity, and outright existence of all life on this planet.

As a species, as a nation, as a community, as an individual - how then could we have ever expected that these people who are so divided within themselves would ever lead us to equality or unity or humility? How could we have ever expected that they would lead us to peace and honor the laws of nature? That their words would contain truth, their decisions be transparent and selfless, and their integrity modeled? It is our responsibility as human beings to have the courage to acknowledge that those we entrusted to uphold our rights, protect our land, and provide a framework of opportunity that shines upon all beings equally have betrayed us.

If we continue down the primrose path of materialism, convenience, and bloated consumption — as we have been so stealthily trained to do in modern society — we are all but guaranteeing a future that promises more dependency, more judgment, more assimilation, more invasion, more war, more conformity, and more arbitrary laws under the guise of terror which serves to strengthen their goals towards complete domination. A future that will reveal less freedom, less compassion, less love, less unity, less critical thinking, less expression, less species, less life, and less creativity. Unless we are willing to end our bondage on the silent platform of apathy and begin to act in selfless ways that serve the whole of humanity, the whole of consciousness, the interconnected web of all life — we are doomed to witness the shackles of our debt-riddled, passive slavery grow exponentially as we mindlessly obey their subliminal mantra: “question nothing, consume everything — Made in the USA”.

Such an odd persuasion has enveloped my internal landscape. An unfamiliar energy, deep within my solar plexus is intensely vibrating, almost alive. I do not want to judge the sensation as "good" or "bad" — imposing my ethics on forces that are beyond my comprehension serves no one — so I try to still myself and to observe this vortex. It is creating, or I should say, I am allowing these feelings to become anxiety and agitation manifest. I live on this edge for days. Over and over, I try to close my eyes and completely surrender to this swirling energy and observe the nucleus of contraction from which this spiral seems to pulse. It occurs to me that perhaps this represents an internal transformation whereby additional energy can now be assimilated within my body towards manifesting an alternative aspect of consciousness. All will soon be made known, but for now I simply hang on and listen to the rhythm in my gut as if it is attempting to tune itself with the Earth herself.
