Listen to a reading of this article: ❖ If you are reading this, it's likely the result of a long and ongoing process where at some point you got very curious about what's going on in the world and managed to punch through the fog of mass media psyops with a mixture of research, logic, and insight. But the fact that you had to do this means everyone is being constantly psychologically assaulted at mass scale by very powerful people.
You mention three ways that a person struggling with anger, for example, can use to increase their self-awareness of the issue: therapy, introspection, or reading a book.
I would like to add compassionate confrontation. An intervention from the universe, or just from your own people. Until someone outside of the person, whether it's a therapist or the author of a book, holds a mirror up to the person and shows them what their behavior is like, or what the effect on those around them is, they won't have much opportunity to see themselves in a different way.
When black people march against racism, or when the population engages in a general strike against predatory capitalism, that's a nonviolent confrontation that brings the effects of damaging behavior to the awareness of the perpetrators.
There is more than enough personality disordered people on the street level to do their dirty work. Not to mention, people want their bread and circuses. The truth means little, illusion is all.
"all the systems which we've been conditioned to look to to figure out what's going on in the world are just indoctrination programs disguised as information and education. It is disgusting, and it is abusive."
Brava, well said.
Except, that from the standpoint of neuroscience, I'd emphasize the role of religion amid the "educational systems" you reference. This is simply because most of us are introduced to these fables during our brain's most malleable period of intellectual development, birth-to-5 years, evidenced by the extreme avidity, even cupidity of toddler brains for language learning. Instead of multi-language learning, too many of us got these fables, mostly without any qualifying explanation that none of it had a basis in observation of natural systems (the world). The exceptions might be aboriginals introduced to a Nature-based religion that's logically attuned to the observations that the natural system IS god-like in its support of all living things. Meanwhile, the cloud-being, live-for-afterlife religions like Christianity and Islam manipulate a child's extremely malleable synaptic networks into early configurations whose later impact is rarely evaluated and therefore poorly understood. Propaganda seeking to enslave by limiting perspectives doesn't strike me as a productive way of expanding awareness about what's really going on in the world. Quite the contrary.
A shift in consciousness involves becoming aware of awareness itself.
On the societal level this involves becoming aware of our collective oneness— one tree with an infinite variety of leaves.
This becoming aware of our oneness is an integrating force: reuniting all the apparent disparate pieces of our Self. Expansion of awareness is this One Self/Source trying to know itself as One Whole within a universe of near infinite bits and pieces.
Becoming more and more aware is thus a primary movement within existence. It can never be stopped. Things may look very bad but at least we know that the movement toward greater awareness/ integration can never be stopped by anyone or anything on this planet.
It's no accident but maybe surprising that Jimmy Dore -- the self-described pot-smoking jagoff comedian broadcasting from his garage -- has mentioned his experiences with mushrooms and of those so hateful of Trump as reacting to his activation of their shadow, so clearly he's done some self work which informs his progressive values: Caitlin's point in a nutshell.
The environment is gasping for air. little is left to revive. those in the know, know how to grow their food and are making their way south way south hidden away..
spot on as usual. I would only add that the real true freedom is freedom from fear, and I know of nothing that assists us more in raising consciousness...
"...Government secrecy, propaganda, and systematic indoctrination from early childhood are all carefully engineered by the ruling class to ensure the continuation of their rule." Yes, even the money, all issued by banks for profit, thus usury, has deep subconscious psychological consequences such as alienation, lack of cooperation, unethical behavior, an unwillingness to help others which a growing body of research indicates. Search 'psychological consequences of money'.... the money we use which is privately issued credit. A public money system could reverse all those hidden effects. monetaryalliance.org
Caitlin writes that "The deck is stacked very aggressively against the collective expansion of consciousness."
Yes. Through what Antonio Gramsci called "cultural hegemony," the influence of the elite oppressor class is vast, corrupting even Gramsci's own insight. Their influence even extends to "movements" that are ostensibly anti-establishment including Antifa and BLM on the "left" and neo-Nazis on the "right" or others who obsess in fear about "white genocide." Virtually anything that pits people against people advances the "divide and rule" agenda of the elites.
Caitlin is does well to point out the positive changes that have been made by our society over the last two hundred years, struggles against "slavery, apartheid, prejudice, etc." Movements to forget such positive changes by claiming that current US society is based exclusively on slavery and racism, such as CRT and the 1619 Project, are destructive of the progress toward justice we have already made. They are forces aligned against the "arc of the Moral Universe" that "bends toward justice."
Many of the "woke" are well-intentioned sleep-walkers in a nihilistic nightmare where statues commemorating abolitionists like Hans Christian Heg or Robert Gould Shaw and the 54th Massachusetts Volunteer Regiment he led are defaced or torn down. Our job is to awaken those sleep-walkers who contribute to the "divide et impera" agenda of the elites.
You were criticizing Alison McDonnell early on Twitter - framing just one of her tweets out of context. I think the two of you have more in common than you realize. I posted this Whitney Webb podcast on your twitter act, but posting it here as well ... 4th industrial revolution / reset is really an interesting area to delve into:

Caitlin, you are a necessary voice. I hope you have more following here on Sound Cloud and beyond than shows. This is critical information.
