I remember completely backing away from that statement, not knowing how to respond to her. She sounded so sure and it sounded so improbable.
I realized later that there are many such statements that people will back away from. For instance, that petroleum is the most poisonous substance on this planet. Or that millions of dollars in illegal drug money supports black ops projects in the US.
When people back away, they have hit a wall in their own minds. I now believe that that wall is "conditioning" or "brainwashing." We find it very difficult to think beyond that wall. Using my two examples above, to believe that petroleum is poisonous requires that you believe you have been lied to; to believe that drug money supports black ops requires that you believe that you have been lied to. And then you have to do a ton of research to "prove" it to yourself.
People do not want to believe that they have been lied to. Suddenly realizing you have been lied to makes most people furious -- and then there is no outlet for that fury.
Awakening can in some ways be very discouraging until people realize that they have personal power. They can fight their own individual fight against the big system in as many ways as they can find to do that. In some cases it's as simple as a refusal to cooperate -- growing your own food, for instance, or only buying local organic food; or buying a bicycle, or changing jobs.
As Metamike said, it's a tiresome job to pull a third density consciousness out of the matrix. Really it's like de-programming.

Wonderful posts in this thread so far
I woke up around April, since then I've been researching like mad. I quit driving and bought a bike, still gotta get rid of my car.. took out one of my piercings because it was a physical hazard. Quit drinking alcohol and only eating local organic foods. Next is quitting cigs and becoming more active in life. The bike is really helping with that. Plus a lot of my friends here have bikes so we go on adventures often
What's funny to me is that, though my younger sister came to me with knowledge that further stirred my curiosity, she hasn't done much research. So now every time we talk, I fill her in on all the current things that are happening to me and around the world. I leave the info up to her discernment and such. It's a great challenge to me to give her positive information, she tends to put up a mental block on a lot of negative information. This is great, as I have grown up being extremely negative and I need every moment to change that.
So far.. I've helped my roommate awaken (sort of), he knows about what's happening but he drowns his mind in video games, work, sexual thoughts, and alcohol too often. So many times when I try to bring something up, he tells me he doesn't wanna hear it. So be it.
I've helped about 5 of my friends wake up, though I could feel they were already starting to, I think that my awareness has helped them to speed up some of theirs as they have done for me. I have a couple friends who will listen to my information but they don't believe any of it or basically don't care. Regardless though, they will actually listen to what I have to say and I appreciate it so much.
I've told my mom everything I know, she doesn't believe any of it but she'll listen to it anyway. Those who listen, but say they don't care.. I believe that when they're listening, that I may be getting this information to them in someway. Perhaps their higher self is listening? Perhaps a part of them knows? But if a person doesn't want to hear it, I won't push it at all. Mutual respect and respect of others choices is important.
No one said it would be easy
I've been ridiculed, given bizarre looks, bewildered looks, and friends or acquaintances getting reeeally upset over any subject they think is impossible. I don't even know how to have a normal conversation with anyone anymore..
Here's an embarrassing story.. Last month I biked up to Pizzahut to hang out with my friend who works there. It was close to midnight so he was getting off work soon.. I'm sitting in there, bored as hell, my other friend is building a gundam model and there's these two people sitting to the left of us, talking about the elections and Hillary Clinton. I was tired and probably delusional from all the research I'd been doing but I thought I heard them talking about the NWO. So, with little thought, I got up and walked over to them and said "Sorry, excuse me, are you guys talking about the implementation of the New World Order?" ......They just stared at me and shook their heads and looked at me as if I was mentally ill. With their quiet "umm..no.." Anyway, I probably upset them by allowing them to know I was sort of listening to their conversation (no privacy) and then of course.. what I had asked them. So I said "You're.. not talking about that? Ahhhh.. sorry nevermind" and I went back to my seat and started laughing, at myself. I don't regret that situation at all (I don't regret anything) but that's definitely not happening again
But someday when they see it all happening, maybe they'll remember that psycho chick at Pizzahut
Sheesh, judgments..
Love you guys, may the force be with you, always
