"The [human] species will never learn to co-exist if given total freedom."

A lot of people are saying that humanity is waking up. I will likely be pounced on for saying this, but I just don't see it. I feel most of humanity is more asleep and disconnected than ever on a real level (at least in the US), while paradoxically being more "informed" and connected than ever via the Internet and mass media. It could be that the STS powers of control are ramped up in reaction to the levels of awareness emerging in our world, but the result is still an anesthetized populace.

I agree that the populace is being brainwashed like never before - and the brainwashing is very pervasive now. Most get caught up in it.

At some point, the underlying assumptions of the brainwashing will be completely shattered. To my mind, that will be the true point of awakening for the bulk of humanity, but it won't be instantaneous.

That said, a minority of people is awakening much more strongly than they would have in the past because the catalyst and conditions are in place for that to happen. It's astonishing how many people have figured things out in the past 15 years. These are the folks who will likely be leading the way out of this mess.

In my experience, it's more likely to find awakened folks in areas where there is less money and more struggling. They may not know the solution yet, but they are generally seeking something better than they have. Those who are comfortable now, are less likely to be looking for a better way.

The civilization on Earth won't be "fixed" by a sudden awakening with the media and politicians telling the truth. Rather, it will be fixed from the bottom up when the conditions are right. I always watch the money. Money is still flowing in the wrong direction towards the top of the pyramid, so the people at the top of the pyramid can stymie positive progress. When that shifts, and it will, the bottom up transformation will be facilitated.

As I see it, the vast majority of people are quite well-intentioned, so we'll get it right eventually. But those good people are hindered in all sorts of ways, because they fall for lies and their energy is directed in ways that assist the negative elite in the enslavement of those good people. In other words, good people are assisting the negative elite in building a prisons for themselves. When the lies fall away, humanity will experience an unprecedented renaissance that will change the world forever.
