Default Re: Wish you had taken the blue pill?

Hi John

I know how you feel! Living in the "blue pill" world having taken the "red pill" really sucks but the internal pressure, I hope, will encourage us all to create someting better.

I have to say that I don't think Camelot helps in this regard as all interviews at the moment are gloom and doom. I mean, what was the point of interviewing the guy from Half Past Human? He sends web spiders out into the fictional reality/matrix, created by TPTB, in order to find trends in the fiction which will be communicated via his own sujective filters, no matter how much he'll protest that it's all objective. How does that help? Or is that important because it appears to back up all the other gloom and doom stories?

I loved the post about being grounded; nature is great for picking up the spirits (I'll be off to my allotment this morning to enjoy the sunshine). I also liked the "unity" symbol - glad to see the "peace" sign turned the right way up instead of the CND upside down symbol which means death.

Lastly, those who say they couldn't swallow the Venus Project, what was it about the project that was unbelievable to you? It made sense on most levels to me: it does away with a monetary economy (it can't happen too soon), it points out that current technology could solve our energy problems given the chance (I believe it could) and frees mankind from "wage slavery". I'm not sure about placing all our faith in technology and AI but I see no need to throw out technology if it can be used for the good.

Myself, I'll throw myself behind the "Anastasia" movement, take my hectare of land and live happily off that, in tune with nature and the divine as a co-creator...
