Please correct me if I am wrong, however I do not believe I have heard a description of aliens explaining the reality of a minority of people on earth having power and control over the masses. When Miriam talked about what individuals could do she mentioned seeds for example, planting your own garden. From my perspective, the reason the world as a whole is going to 'hell in a handbasket' is centered upon megolamanical psychopaths who have power and control and people who are pyschologically subdued to allow this to occur.

If - for example - a positive step is for us to grow our own gardens, if I grow a garden and that action represents 1% of society then my actions are insignificant and ultimately irrelevant. What we need is 90% of people to grow their own gardens! Otherwise REAL change will not occur. Therefore the important question is how to get that 90% to want to grow their own gardens! Do you see what I am getting at here?

Convincing (if this is indeed the appropriate step to take) others that they should give up (or at least minimise) their consumerism on the basis of its harm to other beings and the environment - is a very difficult task. In fact some people can be downright angry when you attempt to explain alternatives to them. Cognitive dissonance steps in, and in certain individuals this pyschologically manifests itself in a defensive outburst. The indoctrination is so complete because it occurs from the cradle to the grave, so it is little wonder that people want to 'remain in the matrix'.

As other posters on this thread have pointed out, Miriam's information does not (arguable) add anything substantive to what we already know. I personally found it interesting, but the core of the message I have heard many times before. This is not to denegrate Miriam - or the message - it is simply that I believe that workable solutions to the problems described is what we need to focus on.

I really like what you've written here T.C.

With respect with the gardens it starts with just one person just as the journey begins with one step. I cannot begin to tell you the interest that has popped up here on this and classes being offered to the public. The public can't get enough information on gardening and want these classes offered in many other locations. The govenor here recently signed a bill giving loans for aquaponics. Indeed, learning to grow ones own food is a step to independence from Monsanto and those who would corrupt the food that we eat.
