the standard phases of "waking up"
Hi, I wanted to share this info:
http://www.cuttingthroughthematrix.c...2alanwatt.html Cutting Through Book 2 by Alan Watt A Glimpse Into the Great Work Sample Page from Book 2 As a preface to understanding, I think it necessary to go through the standard phases of “waking up." 1. An Individual vaguely perceives something is wrong in his/her life. This takes the form of fatigue at trying to "keep up" with real or imaginary crisis, encroachment of government into every aspect of life, increasing taxation and so on. Sometimes it takes the loss of work and the realization that the safety net they contributed to has a gaping hole in the middle. 2. The individual discovers that justice is a joke and that all control mechanisms go up like a pyramid, taking their property, taxes etc. with it. This wealth then is distributed to "help bail-out" or "prop-up" "failing" transnational corporations. Left-overs are channeled via Overseas Developement Corporations to "developing nations," where the loot is pocketed by front-men and their beaurocrats. Crumbs filter down to social services, which, after being guzzled by directors and staff, leave little for the needy except bundles of forms, in triplicate, of course. 3. The individual looks around for others already exposing "the conspiracy." These established champions inform him which "conspiracy" books to read. Having then done so, the individual begins to "expose" the corruption, first to friends, then when friendless, he either publishes what he has gleaned or becomes paranoid and withdraws from society altogether. Why does the waking-up process fail to spread quickly through society? 1. He is terribly naive. He believes the massive corruption "just happened" to begin in his own lifetime, otherwise mummy or daddy or teacher would have warned him. It does not occur to him that his Parents, teachers etc. were as conditioned as he was. 2. Most people do not wish to know. They, like farm animals, have been domesticated. Wild animals (original) have natural instincts of self- preservation. They sense the evil intentions of predators and they survive by trusting their instincts. Wild herds do not "hang around" when one or more members drops dead. Specially bred sheep do. 3. Pavlovian conditioning/response indoctrination has been fed to every individual, through schooling. The media then takes over. Peoples’ opinions are simply sound-bites from news, talk-shows or quotes from glossy magazines. 4. Trust replaces the instinct of self-preservation. It over-rides memory and logic. Controllers and shepherds encourage trust. 5. When threatened with loss of possessions, property, access to health care, etc., people turn to government(predators) for help, or/and organized religion. Should an individual persist in pushing for his "rights," he will be removed from society and placed in a psychiatric hospital or prison on any number of pretexes. The alternative is death by "accident," or shot by police while 'resisting arrest.' http://www.cuttingthroughthematrix.c...2alanwatt.html Last edited by Doncel; 09-21-2008 at 04:35 PM. |

Re: the standard phases of "waking up"
in the strictist definition only an AVATAR would be awake ie someone who is a master of matter and energy...
you just mean someone who has woken up to conspiracy theories not to the reality of consciousness which is very very different and requires .. balance personally in the mental . emotional , physical fields and also being able to create situatons and control energy Last edited by izz; 09-20-2008 at 01:54 PM. |

Re: the standard phases of "waking up"
in-formation is neutral. The truth is in the middle.
First it was: I BEE, now it is I AM. What is Hinduism? http://video.google.ca/videoplay?doc...of+the+new+age (of course one might think this one to be a Christian propaganda fear creating documentary and I cannot deny, but in '84 I was still a kid and I recognize almost all of the terms discussed. Interesting.) |

It's mostly about the stuff that you and I can lookup very easy. My personal view is about people. Just as they stand before me I'll be loving or I walk. And if you experience joy and love with what you do I am happy for you, sincerely. Last edited by Doncel; 09-20-2008 at 09:17 PM. |

Re: the standard phases of "waking up"
I think it's the first step: the awakenning. The truth of our reality, then comes the enlightment, again with observing, studying and meditating data.
