Sleepwalking in fear through the labyrinth of deceit.

When one sees the world how he would like it to be rather than how it truly is, then one only sees part of the picture. Getting a visual idea of how everything is connected and linked into the big picture of corporate control is key. This is a resource anybody can "get" - the way everything is connected at the top level speaks for itself:

Being aware of these connections is like opening the first door. One must walk through it to begin seeing the world in a new light. Nonetheless, a lot of things will have to come crashing down before there is any real change. The people of the world are collectively holding off on this eventuality, pretending nothing is wrong at the "conscious" level, while "unconsciously" living in fear over the fact that eventually this shit will hit the fan and create a good deal of worldwide suffering.

It's that fear that acts as the glue which holds this high-level mess together. It's fueled by psychological operations which keep the consumer-base turned on and tuned in. Oiled by the sweat of worldwide slave-labor, the machinery keeps moving ahead, pushing forward the empty promise of material success for those who work hard to forward its agenda. It continues to feed people poison and pollute the earth with its by-products, as it wastes precious resources. Natural law tells us it has to come to an end at its present course and speed. Meanwhile, so-called short-term "visionaries", blinded by greed and ostensible "mission statements" and "performance guarantees" continue to stay the course, hoping they will have their safe place within the ivory towers built by the original dynasties of corruption. But all towers will eventually fall...it's only a matter of time.

The things we do now are critical in determining the future...but I concede to the fact that the prophecy must be fulfilled. We've come too far and this has gone on too long for there to be no drastic repercussions. From this point forward, no one can claim ignorance as an excuse. Even the most hardened among us know something isn't quite right. To make things right again, it is the responsibility of each and every one of us to know what kind of mess we've collectively generated.

They say time will tell, but time is the illusion that allows us languish...nonetheless, the time is now, as a people, to opt out of the old way and start anew - hopefully before our seas turn into the lake of fire and our skies into sulfurous clouds of brimstone. The question is, what will be the catalyst for change? I know for my part, I don't always do what I can, and as such, I play a part within this tragedy. Yet, the knowledge is present to guide my actions, should I decide to choose a better way.

The truth is within; the answers are written onto each of our hearts. What will be will be, c'est la vie, but the days of assigning blame must give way to knowing the truth and following the doctrine of our conscience.

P.S.: In careful consideration of what I've written here, I must take a page from the book of Philip Zimbardo, Stanford University social psychologist, who did groundbreaking research on what I think is a highly relevant subject:

We can assume that most people, most of the time, are moral creatures. But imagine that this morality is like a gearshift that at times gets pushed into neutral. When that happens, morality is disengaged. If the car happens to be on an incline, car and driver move precipitously downhill. It is then the nature of the circumstances that determines outcomes, not the driver's skills or intentions[.] ... [E]xperimental research ... illustrates the ease at which morality can be disengaged by the tactic of dehumanizing a potential victim...

For many, [the] belief of personal power to resist powerful situational and systemic forces is little more than a reassuring illusion of invulnerability. Paradoxically, maintaining that illusion only serves to make one more vulnerable to manipulation by failing to be sufficiently vigilant against attempts of undesired influence subtly practiced on them.
