Overcoming the Robotic Mind

Waking Times: “To get from the passenger seat to the driving seat is a momentous act.”

Needless to say, extraordinary things are going on all over this World, and it turns out that having to resort to a survival formula in order to cope with them, is not necessarily the best way forward. In fact, the impending sense of chaos is having the unlikely effect of making people who usually ignore whatever is going on around them – sit-up and start asking a few questions.

So, it appears to be the case that the rising tide of cataclysmic events manifesting on our planet, from environmental degradation and human health crisis, to absolute political corruption and ineptitude; to unparalleled manifestations of corporate greed – are collectively having the effect of stirring sleeping human beings into the realisation that things have gone maybe more than a little off-course. That maybe something bigger and not well understood is behind this unprecedented sense of upheaval.

It means the shift from a passive reliance on ‘authority’ , to an active involvement in determining the truth – and acting on it. When practiced by enough people, it means the freeing of the population of planet Earth from abject slavery and the establishment of an intentional dynamic concerning the positive evolution of the human race.
