| Quote |
The more people I talk to, the more I realize just how out of touch many of them are concerning what is really going on with the global economy. Some of them are aware of it to a point but most people I talk to sincerely believe that it's just a temporary setback.
If I mentioned anything about a credit freeze or the bond markets, the eyes instantly glaze over and the conversation changes to food, TV, or the latest gossip.
I know that it is human nature to slip in and out of trances. You know, like when you drive a familiar distance and your unconscious mind takes over the wheel, or when you go into the alpha state when you watch TV. But it is so ridiculous these days I'm not even sure if most people I come across are even real anymore.
Growing up I was rather quiet, perceptive, and observant. I watched people go in and out of normal everyday trances. No big deal. These days something is different. It is like people are on autopilot 100% of the time.
This may seem harsh to some but I would love to see a full economic collapse just so people would be forced off all of the brainwashing mechanisms about them. That includes the Internet! Back to nature and back to reality! |

You don't know how much it hurts to be that one in a million my friend, the one who sees through it all/has snapped out of the trance, only to awaken to the nightmare/prison that surrounds and penetrates every aspect of your life, and everyone elses..
The world can be a very lonely place when you're the only one who is awake |

I think you're right. People do seem to be functioning on "auto." People are only concerned with getting through their day. It's me, me, me focused. People only occasionally seem to step back and take a look at the larger picture. That and these issues create fear. People would rather not think about the potential doom and instead believe that we'll be "saved" like we always are, but America is not the blessed country that it once was.
It's just safer for people to not think about this stuff. Many of us have never lived through anything difficult like our ancestors did. They forget it's a very real possibility that we could face a deadly flu pandemic, earthquake, war, etc... |

I think there is a lot of subliminal programming and NLP done through T.V. If you notice, most of the eye-glazers are television watchers. |

It feels like being in a Sea of Death. I am neither here nor there. I occasionally connect with people who intuitively know exactly what I am talking about. I don't even have to explain it to them. They just know. I can feel you know this from experience. Thank you for your comments. |

I have studied mass psychology for some time now. One thing I have learned is that people unconsciously associate limitation with safety. So anything beyond there limits is associated with fear. The government, corporations, and other organizations obvious understand this well and use it to their advantages i.e. creating illusory enemies.
I don't want people to suffer but like you stated they have never lived through anything difficult but life in Disneyland can't last forever. At least I hope not. |

I am so happy that I met someone on GLP that is awake also. It is great to have someone at home whom I can talk to about all of this and not worry that he will call the funny farm team to come pick me up.
My family members have all been told. Most secretly think I am crazy, or partially believe but are mostly still in denial. |

Oh most definitely. Television uses hypnotic anchors, conversational hypnosis techniques, subliminal programming through images and symbols. If anyone ever studies these methods it becomes instantly obvious what is done. Same with movies. The information on how these methods work can definitely be found if you look in the right places. |

That sounds like a good place to be. Having a friend who understand these things is extremely valuable. I hope more people like you find each other. |

I feel for those that are lone wolves within a family which attacks them for not accepting the status quo. It is a horrible position to be in. |

I am fully on your side and it's also pissing me off a lot.
And you can't really reach them. The only thing that is able to change them is life itself. They have to go through all the shit that is coming to wake up. They refuse to do it without pain.
I think all that we can do is assist them when they wake up and bombard them with info. |

Yes sadly most of my friends and family are in denial too. But you know, maybe that's the way it's supposed to be. If everyone were more aware then life wouldn't be the wonderfully difficult school that it is. I know it can be very lonely, but thank goodness for the internet! |

Yes, perhaps it isn't our responsibility to anything for them and just let them be who they are. I guess it would be arrogant on my part to believe it was my duty to try and make people more aware but feeling like an outsider all the time sure does make life difficult! |

Thankfully, I live in a rural area where people do watch the warning signs. Usually on weekends, our small restaraunts are packed with folks......this last weekend, the grocery store had no parking available, and the restaraunts had no customers. People around here don't discuss these things much, but they do watch the warning signs around them and know when to hunker down. |

I agree. Everyone is on their own path. If I was totally fulfilled within myself, then none of it would matter anyways. I'm not sure about the Internet though. Sometimes I think it adds to the problem by alienating people from each other and taking away the opportunities of people connecting to each other on deeper levels. |

Of course you shouldn't shut up.
I just said that you don't change people by words. They have to realize, become aware for themselves. There is no one they can look up to, only themselves. |

I agree. You can't force people to become more aware. They can only do that for themselves. In fact, if people are not ready they can get quite nasty and attack you to save their beliefs about themselves and reality. |

I'm in the same position too. I am awake, it's awful lonely though. Especially since we are on 3rd density, and we have to wait until 4th density before everybody else can realize we are all the same. |
