Hi WarriorServant,
I tend to agree with you in most apects. I think when the people, as the majority do, throw themselves into life, keeping their head down, concentrating on the mortgage and car payments, it is so easy for them to slip into a very mundane, ignorant lifestyle.
Times gone by, great people were known for their acts, like crossing the Arctic Circle or climbing Everset of navigating to find a new world. These days, the people tend to sit on the couch and give value to those who wear stylish clothes and have the latest cellphone.
I also understand the necessity, concious or not, of people needing to escape from time to time from this lifestyle they live.
I tend to give my opinions drawn from personal experience. I left home at 17 and left the UK at 22 years of age. I travelled all around Europe for 12 years and decided, on the toss of a coin, to come to Brazil, where I've been for the last 16 years or so.
My life has been a little more detailed than just a simple timeplan, and when I explain to people what I've been doing all my life, the general comment has been, "Oh, I wish I could do that". But why don't they? What is to stop them? Conditioning - I remember my mother telling me when I was 19 years old to cut my hair, go back home, get married and buy a house (of course I didn't).
I think there are many who prey on these conditioned people for financial gain, with Ponzi schemes, selling lies, hey, even in the UFO field.
I was interested in a lecture which was given in the UK last month about the UK becoming a police state. It appears that it already has. Why? Well because it could.
In this lecture the guy was taliking about CCTV cameras in the UK. It appears now that there is 1 camera per 14 people in the UK. Does the CCTV prevent crime? Well considering that the only 2% of UK citizens have a criminal record, I suppose there wouldn't be that much need. So the government is setting it's infrastructure for the NWO in the UK and, as peace loving, calm, non criminal people the British are, they allow it.
The government here in the Northeast of Brazil has tried to set up speed cameras, but most of them have been stolen! Imagine in the streets!!
What I'm trying to get at here is that the more complacent societies seem to be the first that will be totally controlled, as there is less opposition and of course less controlling to be done by the authorities (a good training period).
Finally, I totally agree with your 'looking in the mirror' angle. I did this many years ago, before I left the uK - perhaps that was the catalyst for me to get moving - and it does actually work, as I know who I am! It made me keep my eyes and ears more open and become more logical without taking away too much of my personality.
Best regards,
Steve
