But then what is the point of all of this? If this is all just inward manipulation, I see it as no more than spiritual and intellectual masturbation... Such is why I have participated less in these debates. I don't feel as if anything positive is being pulled out of these debates anymore; it's become stale because all that is left to discuss is ego.
I understand and respect everyone's decision and ability to "keep it real". I just figured that a place such as this might better understand that what is 'real' is purely perception. When we perceive hopelessness and the same ole' same ole', we give power to it.
Wait..... can someone explain to me why there is ANY reason we should not hope for a golden age/utopian future? What exactly are we distracting from by doing so? The only answer I can come up with is "3D catalyst".... which is becoming less effective with each passing day. I am officially sick of 3D, and believe it or not, I feel it lifting. Due to these feelings, I hope that what I am feeling is something larger than just what is within myself; I cannot prove it - but I can see it. I choose to see it. Make of that what you will, but for myself, it is the only thing worth doing in regards to the future.
How in any way can this be the "same old rhetoric of all civilizations"? We are living in a new reality. Technology grows exponentially, and with nanotech, we are years away from making nearly anything reality - 3D/4D or otherwise. The difference is that we have a true shot at it this time; if nobody can see this then I don't think you're looking hard enough. Never before has the world been shaken up with this much power lying in the hands of regular people through the proliferation of information. If ever there was a time where the elite could be done without, it is now. This is my opinion.
At the end of the day, those who wish to remain in 3D will do so. I figured this forum was a place where we would look to move forward, rather than stay where we are.
