Hi Phr0z3n
Yes, truly staggering and long lived. I went to a 21st school reunion (gate crashed actually, I wasn't even invited to my own class reunion) and found that "the crew" were still the same, the adorers were still the same and generally the hierarchy was still intact. It appeared that the only person who had moved on was me, and I do not say that boastfully merely as an observation. It was very VERY strange to see mature folks still following their rules of caste, so to speak.

I have never said to myself, I'm one of those people. I was always my own person. However, this did not mean that I couldn't interact with them as I shared some of the same interests as them. People are too absorbed in the fast paced society that we have today. While I have tried to embody these traits, I admit that I sometimes relapse. No one is perfect, but we can maintain the journey towards it.

I was pretty much an outcast and I guess that was of my own doing (and choosing). However, we are talking awareness here and I think that is of the most importance. At least you are aware and think on these things Phr0z3n, most people will go about their daily lives performing like circus monkeys, on auto pilot, not using their brains to think there may be another way. I have to believe that this is as much spiritual awareness as just plain common sense.
As I mentioned in my narrative, we can buy the alternatives to branded products, it takes a bit more effort. We can stop buying the take-aways, the magazines, the news papers. We can stop watching their TV, we can collectively get involved in the free energy/over unity threads and pursue that with a passion. Greg Braden speaks about the idea of when something is relentlessly pursued, a way will open for the answer to that pursuit. It's a ;ot more complex than that simplistic statement but that in itself should give us hope. The trick is to pursue these alternatives vigorously and without compromise.
There is just so much that we are capable of.
Love Light and Peace
