what is the one thing every human being on earth desires it does not matter if you are black white hispanic or asian does not matter if you are christian muslim or buddhist it does not matter if you are a man or a woman old or young rich or poor passive or aggressive republican or democrat american or iraqi it is a universal desire throughout human history it is so strong of a desire that millions have died for it and it is the greatest cause to fight for it is the one idea that could knight all of humanity under common cause the best thing about this desire is the more we lose it the stronger the desire becomes so what is this one common desire that is universally shared by all it is freedom freedom may take many different personal paths but in the end we all want to control our own destiny to live our own lives to do what we want to do to love who we want to love without others interfering the united states was founded on this simple principle and it is the throughout the world before the american revolution tyranny ruled the world for six thousand years and now that seem to arnie is rising up everywhere the greatest truth never told is that humanity has been consistently in slaved over and over again throughout history and that we can be free the moment we wish to be free if the torch of liberty dies in the united states all of humanity will suffer as the powerful seek to enslave the weak our founding fathers studied every aspect of freedom if we seek to be free once again we must also study every aspect of freedom with freedom as a uniting cause for all of humanity we can set about rejecting the paradigm that is based on the spreading of death and death and that we can create a new paradigm where there is a level playing field for all to rise to their highest and best self the american founding fathers and capsulated this idea under the founding principle of our right to life liberty and the pursuit of happiness when we see that we have this one commonality throughout all of humanity we must also recognize that we do not have the right to enforce our version of freedom on to someone else if you truly want and believe in freedom you must respect others expressions of freedom as long as their expression does not infringe upon your life liberty and the pursuit of happiness we should be able to be free to do whatever we want things are speeding up it took thousands of years to go through the agricultural revolution took hundreds of years to go through the industrial revolution it took decades to go through the information revolution now we are on the verge of a awareness revolution where humanity can finally use all the knowledge from all three revolutions to build something that resonates with what we are and what we are meant to be we are at a unique period in human history where there is a very real chance that all of humanity will be free of the old world tyrannies and learn to respect and protect each other's freedoms with the mathematically inevitable collapse of the dollar all of humanity will be freed from consumerism narcissism and militarism once freed humanity will have the knowledge incentive and the ability to communicate these ideas of freedom as a way forward there will be no need to follow down the dark path of fear and coercion men and women of all races ages and creates from all over the world can rally around the simple idea of life liberty and the pursuit of happiness believe nothing no matter where you have read it or who has said it not even if i have said it unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense buddha what you're about to embark upon is unlike anything else you've ever experienced we will set about on a journey that will take us through history and challenge everything that you've ever learned the reason why this is going to be very different from any other educational experience that you've ever had is that i'm going to insist that you question and critically think about the information i am presenting to you do not accept anything i say unless you can confirm it and that resonates with something in your soul there you will begin to become totally free i do not claim to have all the answers but i do seek to ask all of the questions my hope for this project is that it becomes the intellectual foundation for a new era of humanity we can reject the paradigm that is built on spreading debt and death we can set about creating a new paradigm where people are free to play on a level playing field for all to rise to their highest and best selves i have been influenced by many and i do not claim to be the originator of most of the ideas i present to you my unique ability is to bring together the big picture for all to see this encompassing educational experience that will tell you the greatest truth never told the truth is that humanity has been enslaved over and over again throughout history and that we can be free the moment we wish to be this journey will be a dangerous one in which if i'm successful will result in your old self dying so that a new totally free person can be born all know the way but few actually walk it i have gone through this journey of awakening i have lived a life of individual opulence and i have lived a life of collective poverty i now see the middle path very clearly and it has led me to my highest and best self this is without a doubt a life changing experience and if enough people grest the concepts that i present it could lead to a new era of humanity where freedom rings once you are aware of how the world really works you will no longer be played the fool in your relationships investments and thoughts i have seen that those that are most successful in life are not necessarily the smartest or hardest working individuals for the most part they were just in the right place at the right time this project seeks to give you absolute clarity to take massive action in your life to prepare for the greatest paradigm shift in human history the mathematically never will collapse of the dollar this is not simply an american struggle this is a struggle for all of humanity and i want to be absolutely clear i do not just want to scare you and feed you full of doom and gloom there is a way out and i would not bring you on this journey if i had not made it through myself if i could leave you with one piece of advice before we continue on is something i came up with that helped me tremendously throughout my own journey listen to all follow none walk your own path the best that you can once a long time ago there was a wise and master people from far and near would seek his counsel and ask for his wisdom many would come and ask him to teach them and lighten them in the way of sen he seldom turn anyway one day a powerful man came to visit the zen master i have come today to ask you to teach me about zen opened my mind to enlightenment the tone of the powerful man's voice was one that was used to getting his own way  master smiled and said that they should discuss this over a cup of tea when the tea was served the master poured his visitor a cup he poured and he poured and the tea rose up to the room and began to spill over the table finally on to the robes  very powerful man finally the powerful man shouted anough you are spilling tea all over me can't you see the cup is full the master stop pouring and smiled at his guest you are like this tea cup so full that nothing more can be added come back to me when the cup is empty come back to me with an empty mind in mind that is expanded by a new idea will never go back to its original dimension total freedom is a concept i came up with to describe the ultimate outcome  this project it is the idea that you will be totally free to be your highest and best self that we come into our destiny by throwing off all of the shackles that we and others put on to us the best thing about the total freedom concept is that it is totally attainable and no power can stop you you can become free without confrontation coercion or violence it takes very little energy and it is something that you can pass on to others including future generations most of us are simply trying to become financially free the problem i realized early on in life is that you can become financially free and never your highest and best self i grew up knowing people that had financially everything and i mean everything and they were miserable and yet that is what we're programmed in society to do to chase after becoming financially free so many people sacrificed so much for this financial freedom that when and if they get there they become depressed i have identified six freedoms that one must attain in order to become totally free the first freedom is physical freedom the ability to live your life healthy in pain free the next freedom is financial freedom to be debt free and create generational wealth so that you will have the ability to do what you want to do and to be a blessing on to others the third political freedom this is not just the freedom to vote and have a sane politics but free from ideas that keep us divided against each other the next one is intellectual freedom to question everything and logically process information so that we are free from false choices that limit us the fifth step is emotional freedom to be rid of toxic thoughts and people the final step is spiritual freedom the ability to connect to a higher and fulfill our destiny when we are free in all those areas we can become our highest and best self it is only then that we can lift others around us to show them the way as this week's through society the world has changed it is very important to see that this path of freedom is one that is inside of us this is unlike everything we've ever been taught we cannot change the outside world for us to become free we must change ourselves so that the world can become free the six freedoms of total freedom mirror that of mass flows hierarchy of needs as well as hierarchy of needs is a theory and psychology that was proposed by abraham maslow in his one thousand nine hundred three paper a theory of human motivation mass flow hierarchy of needs is often portrayed in the shape of a pyramid with the largest and most fundamental levels of needs at the bottom and the need for self actualization at the top the most basic need is for survival the body produces real physical reactions if it does not get food water air or sleep once the basic needs are met safety becomes the most important need the need for personal financial security becomes most important without the physical security from violence or the financial security from economic safety you cannot become concerned with the next level of human need which is love and belonging once these two basic needs are met you have a firm foundation to become emotionally involved with others this can come in the form of friendship intimacy and family with the acceptance of a loving community a person now has the ability to move on to his next need of self esteem this level allows a person to have self respect or confidence independent of what others think this also shows and a more narcissistic lower version where a need for constant praise and respect of others what a man can be he must abraham maslow the final step is self actualization this is a point where a person can rise to their highest and best self where they can express their true self and their unique talents and abilities these five needs mirror the six day dj's of total freedom you need to become physically free in order to become politically and financially free you must be emotionally free in order to become intellectually free once you have that intellectual freedom then you can then set about connecting with the spiritual freedom to become the highest and best self and find out what you were meant to be it is very important that we understand that what is true for a single human is also true for human society if a society does not have food or water they cannot have a stable political system or a functioning economy without the safety of a stable society interpersonal relationships suffer as people scramble to meet their own physical needs without an emotionally healthy society we cannot produce the intellectual or spiritual thinkers needed to guide and inspire society to its highest levels so much of what we're going to see later on in this project revolves around social predators keeping humanity at its most basic levels so that no man or society challenges the power that they have through the use of debt upon the domestic populace and the use of war on the rest of the world the elite keep mankind down never to challenge them let me read you a quote from an article about the united states using debt free money and how it could bring world peace and eventually bring down the elite of its time quote if the machine vs financial policy which has its origin in north america shall become and aerated down to a fixture then that government will be able to furnish its own money without cost it will pay off debts and be without debt it will have all the money necessary to carry out its commerce it will become prosperous without precedent in the history of the world the brains and wealth of all the countries will go to north america that country must be destroyed or it will destroy every monarchy on the globe that is from the times of london eight hundred sixty two just before the civil war do you now see the power of total freedom our greatest power is to focus the mind on one thing for an extended period of time albert einstein i think therefore i am this is a classic question about our existence but what kind of existence do we have if we don't think unfortunately in most of our existence we do not really think thinking is hard to do and that is why so few do it when we let others make decisions for us we lose our power and our control we are eventually controlled by others who do think most paths towards financial freedom are gone the stock market the housing market and small businesses are collapsing the job market is the worst since the great depression entire industries and professions are being wiped away life savings and equity are gone just when you need it the most we are under tremendous amount of stress mental financial political all motional and even spiritual stress we know that this is not the life we are meant to have and yet it seems that there is no way out every inch of your body is telling you something is really wrong every way out seems to bring us right back to where we started trapped as a country we are economically bankrupt intellectually bankrupt morally bankrupt spiritually bankrupt our families are broken our politicians are deaf our companies are corrupted our military overstretched our budgets are blown out our manufacturing is gutted our borders are wide open and nothing seems to turn back the tide our world is changing our jobs our money our government even our fellow citizens a paradigm shift in everything you know is happening right now this paradigm shift happens once in a lifetime the last time we had a paradigm shift it was during the one nine hundred twenty s and one nine hundred twenty s was known as the roaring twenty's for its amount of technological innovation and incredible wealth that was produced during the twenty's we saw the rise of the automobile highways power stations air travel movies radio telephone and even indoor plumbing but soon followed after that was the great depression of the thirty's and world war two now more than ever people are starting to see the things that cannot go on forever won't we cannot go into debt forever debt is rising on all levels of our life federal trade state local personal corporate student mortgage credit card automotive debt is all time highs we cannot have one hundred trillion of unfunded liabilities we cannot keep zero percent interest rates and print money without destroying the dollar we cannot continue to have rising health food and fuel costs we cannot have endless senseless wars and over seven hundred american military bases overseas we cannot have eighty five million baby boomers retiring at the same time to start taking from the generational ponzi scheme we cannot have manufacturing shipped overseas twenty percent plus unemployment and forty five million people on food stamps we cannot have wide open borders with twenty five million illegal immigrants we cannot have half of americans obese and twenty seven million americans on anti depressants we cannot continue to have banker bailouts high frequency trading or flash crashes we cannot have just in time delivery that only allows three days worth of food and seven days worth of fuel we cannot continue having a failing schools indoctrinating our kids we are living in a unique period in human history and all things that cannot go on forever won't this period will end and it will result in an unimaginable upheaval in every aspect of your lives in fact i'm willing to bet that if you were here right now it already has the bad news is it is unfortunately going to get much worse before it gets any better the good news is that you are here today and it is not too late to become aware of the big picture and start preparing to thrive and not just survive things that cannot go on forever won't it has a mathematically inevitable and our debt based monetary system must create more debt every year in excess of the debt and interest accrued the year before or it will completely collapse i will cover this very important fact in much more detail later but it is essentially we must inflate or die we are reaching a mathematical end of this paradigm which will either end in a hyper inflationary depression or an outright default i have a very good idea on how this will play out and what to do about it but for now let's concentrate on the fact that it cannot go on forever the irresistible force paradox asks what happens when an unstoppable  our way of life is dependent on the absolute necessity of creating more debt every year and it is a noun stoppable force that drives humanity the immovable object is the natural limit to the world there's only a certain amount of resources that all this money can chase after there is also a limit to the amount of wealth the top point one percent can accumulate without tipping the world into revolution there is also a limit to the amount of lies people will believe to keep the system going the immovable object in short is reality you can ignore reality but you cannot ignore the consequences of reality iran to the dollar collapse will be the single largest event in human history this will be the first event that will touch every single living person in the world all of human activity is controlled by money and no money has been so prevalent in the dollar our wealth our work our food our government even our relationships are affected by money no money in human history has had as much reach as the dollar it is the defacto world currency all of their currency collapses will pale in comparison to this big one all the other currency crisis have been regional and there been other currencies for people to grasp onto during the crisis this collapse will be global and it will bring down not only the dollar but all of their fiachra and sees as they fundamentally are no different with the collapse of currencies it will lead to the collapse of all paper assets paradigms are like operating systems for societies there are set of rules and principles that we all collectively operate under our current paradigm operates under the ability to create unlimited amount of money in debt which funds the world's largest military empire which provides a forceful piece pran the world and protects all trade this allows corporations to harvest the world's resources cheaply it provides for cheap energy and the ability to exploit the world's labor which leads to massive paper profits leading to more  money to be created this cycle reinforces itself until it eats itself when the paradigm exhausts itself those that are in control of the paradigm will violently defend the status quo those that do not benefit from the current order will seek to create a new paradigm the paradigm shift is the result of these two forces colliding this paradigm shift will affect every aspect of your life your relationships your finances your health your security even your faith this paradigm shift is a natural cycle throughout history all societies have seasons where there are born grow which are and die it is as predictable as the seasons of spring summer fall and winter or even our own birth growth maturity  eventual death there is nothing scary about it as it is inevitable and it is natural each societal season lasts about twenty years every eighty years our society goes through this life cycle we began our current winter cycle on september eleventh two thousand and one and it will not be over until the end of this decade eighty years before this winter of society we faced another life or death struggle known as the great depression and world war two eighty years before that we faced the civil war eighty years before that we faced the revolutionary war once again we will face a massive paradigm shift and nowhere is it written that the united states will go on our only choice is to first be aware and then prepare for this reality our current paradigm was created by those men and women who are now long gone their sacrifice and dedication made it possible for the united states become the world's lone superpower almost forty percent of the economy had something to do with agriculture back then now it is less than three percent back then people could farm on their own gardens raise their own live stock and take care of themselves now we rely upon corporate food and the food that we get has no nutritional value back then people knew what real wealth was they had gold and silver in their money now we think the digits in our brokerage accounts is wealth back then people had a strong family and community support systems to help them multi generational housing was very common now we live a little lives of narcissism our families have been split up and divided and conquered back then people had strong spiritual strength now we have chemically induced denial back then people were a fit body and strong mind now we're obese and willing fully ignorant back then people had a classical education to help them figure things out now we have to wait for answers back then people had a real economy now all we have is a consumer debt economy back then people did physical activity for fun now we have entertainment that turns our minds and our bodies into mush let's take a few seconds to look at some of the faces of the great depression look at the faces of these people and ask yourself do you think that if given a chance to do something different than the path they chose before the great depression they would you think that these people were aware and prepared for a collapse do you think that they had the mental or physical assets in place to deal with this new paradigm do you think that you are better than these americans if you think it's hard to hear a child cry when they don't get their way wait until they can't get food if you think it's hard to get a job in this economy wait until there is no economy can you imagine strapping all your family's wealth into a car and then traveling across country with the hopes of actually finding a job right now the average american is actually worth less than a bangladeshi peasant the reason why is because that peasant does not have trillions of dollars worth of debt tied around their necks they may be poor but they're not in debt the very real world coming takes a lot of effort and patience to succeed and that is something that our societies and short supply of wild tent cities are popping up here and there the real crippling of poverty is just getting started the generation that made it through the great depression would often say we didn't have much but we had each other this stands in stark contrast to today where we have so much but no one to share it with we can survive anything together but when the an average american family has been divided and conquered we have very little hope the generational support system has been ripped from our human experience and it is a key of getting back on our feet emotionally tough people can make it through anything they can move on and adapt but emotionally weak people break because they've never been challenged those that have been bred to thrive in a collective us paradigm to do as they are told and not ask questions will be left destitute when there is no one to tell them what to do as the paradigm collapses only those with the power of critical thinking will be able to adapt to this new reality physical poverty is one thing but mental poverty is quite another everything you know is probably dependent upon this paradigm ask yourself this question what real value do you have to a post dollar collapse environment how many men sacrificed time with those that mattered chasing after an illusion that failed them the moment they reached for it think about all those things that we work so hard for an how quickly they can become worthless when the paradigm collapses make mansions and ponzi scheme retirements are the real dream while now the only dream that they have is about the real relationships and opportunities long gone men will be split from their families as they seek opportunities far and wide and women will have to endure not only their world falling apart but trying desperately to shield their children from a harsh new reality how many mothers do you think are going to sit in regret that they did not prepare themselves or their children for a collapse how many wish that they had not waste their time and energy and money chasing after things that mean nothing after all how important is fashion soap opera and reality t v perhaps the most famous picture of the great depression was a florence owns thompson taken by dorothea lange to feeling wrote in her notes from the ten minute photo shoot seven hungry children the father is a native californian destitute and p pickers camp because of their failure of early peak crop these people had just sold their tires to buy food i did not ask her name or her history she told me or age and that she was thirty two years old she said that they've been living on frozen vegetables from the surrounding fields and the birds the children killed those that did not see this coming won't know what to do when it gets here jim puplava let's look at the differences in the path to success for the generation that overcame the great depression and what we have now back then hard work honesty and reputation where the path to success now for the most part it's about speculation the scam the quick buck back then having a large supportive family system was a way of getting ahead in the world now it is about avoiding marriage and children for they become a burden back then it was what you know now it is who you know back then it took innovation to get ahead now it takes marketing back then we built factories now we offshore those factories back then it was all about running a tight ship now it's all about bailouts back then when people invested they invested with equity and had partnerships and cared about the outcome of the investor now it is about debt perhaps the biggest difference between the two generations is that the generation that made it through the great depression believed in delayed gratification and sacrifice now all we have is instant gratification and we have been collectively bought off and silenced with our lifestyle we buy now and we pay later our lives are about daily distractions our work sports soap opera selections celebrity gossip fashion personal dramas and cetera after this paradigm shift there will be no american middle class when the music stops that is where you and your family will be for the better part of your life either at the top or at the bottom for the most part most americans will be taking completely by surprise they will go through shock anger resentment depression and eventually poverty only a small few will be  educated and prepared and ready to thrive it is said that men go mad in herds and only come to their senses slowly and one by one charles mckay most people do one of two things when they start thinking about a paradigm shift some dismiss it out of hand and say that it can't or won't happen and blissfully go on completely unaware others that start to think about it become like deer in headlights unable to process all the possibilities of that reality the reality is that the majority of the people who do consume this knowledge will not do so until after the collapse this project is really made for them i believe that understanding the collapse from those that predicted it is far better than following the pied pipers that blindly le us into this catastrophe those that did not see this coming should have no say in what to do after it happens this project is an intellectual salt on the paradigm we now live in and it also provides an intellectual foundation for a truly free paradigm ought to be absolutely clear there is no fixing this paradigm in fact it needs to die of its own cancerous excesses in order for humanity to move on and mature there must be no doubt of the total failure of the society that's based off of spreading debt and death this project will make you aware of exactly how we came to this collapse the men who created perpetuated and profited off of this paradigm the idiology is that restrain humanity and what exactly we can do to prepare for the collapse and also to rebuild a new society after the collapse we will see an era of tremendous upheaval after which we will have either a new dark ages led by fear or a new renaissance where humanity will be free to become its highest and best self in short this paradigm can either be something to fear or something to prepare for so what does it take to be ready the answer is very simple you have to have an open mind fear the unknown is always worse than the reality that we face think about the scariest harm movie i've ever seen the first time you watch that movie you weren't necessarily afraid of the blood the screaming the axe murderer what you were afraid of was the unknown not knowing when they were going to jump out of the closet not knowing what was going to happen next but even the most scariest harm movie when you watch the second time it becomes less scary because you know what's going to happen what if we went a little bit further and then we actually watched the behind the scenes and how the movie was made what if you could see the actor that was playing the bad guy welcome to prime time having fun with the director and to get out that's why you shouldn't be hauling ass in that lane it's very dangerous and that all the blood that you saw was all just fake corn syrup and that the mask that you were afraid of was just a rubber mask or that the set that gave you such fear was actually a backlot studio you might actually learn so much about that movie that the next time you see it you can actually laugh at what someone scared you will think about what's going on now the harsh stories the end of this paradigm the dollar collapse the end of the world as you know it and yet the only reason we are really afraid of it is because you don't know what's going to happen i can tell you the more you study it the less fearful you become of it the more you can prepare for it the further head of the curve you can get the better chance of success that you're going to have and that once you get through this knowledge understand how it happened why it happened  where it's going to end you can actually start looking forward to a new paradigm we are constantly fed the exception and never the norm when you're encouraged to play the lottery we're told about the one winner and not the millions of losers when  we're encouraged to buy insurance we're always told about the young father who left his two children behind but not the millions of fathers that lived every day when the government wants to scare us and manipulate us they tell us horror stories of mushroom clouds and men in caves with boxcutters the scary stories are told us like we are children only so that we run to our rulers to protect us the reality is these scary stories are nothing compared to the freedoms we give up those that would give up essential liberty to purchase temporary safety deserve neither liberty or safety i intend to take the fear out of our future so that we can make mature decisions about what we need to do to become totally free i prefer dangerous freedom to peaceful slavery thomas jefferson this project is based off of a very simple principle that i came up with when you are aware you can prepare i believe that when you see the big picture and understand how you are manipulated finding the best path for you becomes very simple you cannot become aware unless you rebel against everything that you are now it starts with simply putting your foot down and saying no more you must commit yourself that you will no longer be played the fool for somebody else you will start by doing what is best for you and the ones you love you will search for truth wherever it is and let that search be your guiding light that simple little rebellion of your mind is just a spark for a much greater fire of enlightenment you will be reborn a man or a woman that is totally where completely free and fully alive one thing i like to use is something called a decision matrix a decision matrix is a tool to help people understand two possibilities and how best to prepare for it in this case we're talking about the collapse of the dollar and the paradigm that it supports in the first scenario if nothing happens and the paradigm continues and the person does exactly what they've been doing life will continue as is slipping further down the chain every year this paradigm does not benefit those that just blindly go along with the system if nothing happens the dollar doesn't collapse and you are aware and prepared you will learn to view the world as it is and you will be able to be in the right place at the right time those that are contrary and investors have profited tremendously even though the dollar paradigm has still continued the next scenario is what if it happens what if the dollar does collapse what does the world look like then well if you're not prepared you are most likely going to be historical roadkill those that did not see this coming will be totally unprepared for the world that is about to come upon them if you are aware and prepared and it does happen not only will you be able to survive but thrive you'll be able to create generational wealth not only in terms of real assets but also the most important asset of all being able to think in staying ahead of the curve now let's put some percentages to this decision matrix what do you feel the chances are that it happens in my mind throughout all my experience and all my education i know that it is one hundred percent mathematically inevitable even if you only believe that it's a one percent chance that this could happen you still put your seatbelt on every time you get the car don't you the same kind of dramatic impact you would have in a car accident is the same kind of dramatic impact society in the world is going to have when the dollar collapses your ability to question and think and get ahead of the curve is your seatbelt it's going to save you from tremendous amount of stress and pain the worst thing i could think happening is being able to see it coming and not have done anything about it i don't know how people are going to live with themselves after that i have a dental five five stages of awakening i feel that it is incredibly important for you to know this process so as to make the most to beach stage and get through them as quick as possible this entire project is centered on this process and i have taken great care to put the information in the order that i wish i had learned it i feel this will allow the individual to deal with the new reality in a safe environment that also ensures a successful awakening the awakening process mirrors elizabeth kubler ross has five stages of grief which many of you might be familiar with the reason why they mirror is because it is literally your old self dying so they a totally free new self can be born your body will physically mentally react as if there was a real death in your life we identify ourselves by what we do what we wear and what we drive when you are awake none of that will matter you will transcend the current consumer order and be fully prepared to deal with a new paradigm i feel it is incredibly helpful for you to understand this process to not only identify where you are but where you should be going i cannot stress to you how important and necessary this process is if you do not start thinking for yourself you will be without the skills necessary to survive a post dollar world the first stage in the five stages of awakening is denial and this stage will dismiss anything that goes counter to conventional wisdom as crazy talk or conspiracy theory this is really a self defense mechanism the brain uses to protect the ego no one  admit when they're wrong much less admit that they have been fooled so it is infinitely easier to deny a truth rather than it is to embrace it it is easier to mock than debate it is easier to hide under the sheets and pretend that there is not a monster in the room this is where most of our society is stuck right now they believe that whatever the authorities tell them is the truth they go along with the crowd in fear of being looked upon a strange or crazy and my experience denial comes in two forms first as the most common and least dangerous form of denial is just not wanting to know the truth that might upset their happy little life is innocent and isle of ignorance is bliss mentality is held by so many americans who think that things are going swell for them so why ruin it with the truth there was a woman i was working that literally shut down on me when confronted with the truth she literally said to me i do not want to know that because that reality is too scary for me this form of denial is the easiest to overcome because when things go wrong in their perfect little world they will have no more excuses to not look for the reason why their world fell apart there is no more bliss for them to remain ignorant the economic depression and the political failures of both the i view it as guilty denial this is the denial of people who are actually benefiting off of the illusion of our paradigm this comes from business owners government employees and others whose livelihood is derived off of the current debt paradigm the people actively fight against the truth through dissent from ation or saying they just can't keep it a secret or that's just crazy conspiracy talk they would rather create a plausible deniability to distance themselves from the reality of their actions or  inactions their aggressive defense of the illusion shows me that they know what they're doing is wrong they are too afraid to live outside of this paradigm so it is better to try to hold it together despite its human costs anger is just a cowardly  is a lot easier to be angry at somebody than it is to tell them that your heart thomas gate the second stage of the awakening is anger when you start to see that you were fooled you react violently for being taken for a fool and you want to lash out this action is ineffectual in bringing about positive change for the freedom movement in my experience those that proposed violence are probably working for the government just trying to find some sucker don't anger is a very natural reaction and is one that you must go through rather than suppress finding out how the world really works is akin to finding out your significant other has been cheating on you you may have remained faithful to what this country was about while atrocities were committed behind your back anger is just covering up the fact that you are really hurt for being taken advantage of the stage is often the shortest but it is also the one with the most energies expended in my anger stage i redirected my anger to fuel an intense amount of research into making sure that i was never fooled again and eventually led to the creation of this project the third stage of the awakening is called bargaining after you calm down you start to reach out to anybody who will listen to tell them what is really going on this is the most annoying stage of the awakening process and remember that you are reaching for people who are still in the stage one of denial you end up ruining christmas parties talking about world trade center seven our kids basketball games talking about the federal reserve by reaching out and sharing you're not really trying to awaken people you are really looking for help by reaching out your seeking guidance or structure in your own search for truth you know that there's something wrong you know that you can't go back to your ignorance without clarity you cannot move forward and this naturally leads to the next stage of depression before stage of the is depression now that you've reached out to everybody and nothing seems to happen depression sinks in you start saying it's too big what could i do about it the worst kind of depression that permeates the freedom movement is the arrogant attitude of i know it all or screw everybody i don't care this is the most painful stage and the hardest one to get out of human happiness comes from progress and your progress in this journey seems to suck you further into a hole and fortunately there is no way around this yet it is absolutely necessary that you go through it i must not fear fear is the mind killer fear is the little death that brings total obliteration i will face my fear i will permit it to pass over me and thr and where it is gone i will turn the inner i see its path where the fear has gone there will be nothing only i will remain frank herbert the fifth and final stage of the awakening is acceptance this is the point where you now become comfortable with the on coming reality and you actually take active and positive steps to prepare for this this process of making wise choices for yourself and others will yield massive positive personal results these positive results will reinforce your actions and bring about more positive change in your life people will start to notice the light in your eyes has returned as confidence returns they will now ask you what happened to you and those that once did not want to hear the truth will be ready to listen this is ultimately where we all need to be both personally and as a movement i really feel the reason why i have been so successful at waking people up is that i do not try to scare them and depress them trust me i can write doom and gloom with the best of them fear mongers do not want you to logically think they want to motion reaction to their preconceived notions i do try to motivate encourage and like people in order to take the first step into their highest and best self this journey is the most important one you'll ever take and it is the only hope to ever becoming what you were meant to be free and independent we have already seen most of humanity does not really think and that most of our lives is controlled by men who do think in this next awaken paradigm in history man will need to embrace i think therefore i am free our wretched species is made so that those who walk on well trodden path always throw stones at those who are showing a new road voltaire one of the greatest challenges of becoming totally free is to be able to think independently from everybody else you know instinctively that no one cares about you as much as you care about yourself yet we consistently listen to others about what is best for us and stead of thinking about what is best for us that is because we live in a world where everybody tells you what to think but no one tells you how to think we are blasted every day with advertising financial sales pitches political media propaganda religious dictate and more and more social pressure to conform most of our lives we don't really make any decisions we just kind of fall into a routine you see when you do not really think you leave your mind open to those who do think the real and most often unnoticed danger is a class of predators manipulating societies for their own selfish benefits if you go along to get along and not think outside the box you risk being caught in the undertow of a doom society or worse the next revolution will be one of ideas and it is one where you're going to have to be able to think outside of your cell it will require you to see that we are all one and that divide and conquer holds us back from our highest and best self it will require you to see the perceived values we place on status wealth and other distinctions are false it will require you to see that individuals are more important than the collective it will require you to see that we must not sacrifice the future for the present it will require you to see that the ends do not justify th means there is no goal worth the wholesale slaughter of millions and the debt and slave min of billions it will require you to see that this revolution cannot take place by forcing others by protesting or by forming any organization it must come through a change within each and every one of us the mathematically inevitable collapse of the dollar will bring about the greatest challenge that humanity will ever face it will require an unprecedented transformation of the human condition it is not the strongest species that survive nor the most intelligent but the ones responsive to change charles darwin we will cast aside these incredibly destructive forces that have been piled up for decades spreading debt and death throughout the world in the hopeless effort of sustaining the unsustainable only then can we create a new way of life based on freedom that transformation starts only when you as an individual begin to be aware of yourself in every thought action and feeling as humans we naturally look at anyone outside of our group or world view as dangerous and to be shunned this is served us well when we lived in a tribal small community dynamic now we are systematically and scientifically misled and orders serve the interest of others we need to look outside of our own little world for answers if the community is headed for collapse have you ever seen crabs in a shallow bucket if you put one in a bucket it can easily get out but if there is more than one crab and the crab trying to get out will be pulled back into the bucket by the rest of the crabs this is how the collective works it forces individuals to conform so that the collective may survive and that is our society you cannot solve a problem from the same consciousness that created it you must learn to see the world anew albert einstein think about all that is wrong with the world today massive debts and less wars encroaching government power too big to fail systemic unemployment and a general sense of fear and depression you cannot solve these problems with the same consciousness as the ones that created this mess you cannot cure a debt problem with more debt restructure debt or bailout you cannot solve war with more war cyber war proxy wars or covert wars you cannot control the power of the government with new politician laws or lobbying you cannot solve unemployment with more funding for education or regulations or strikes in order to solve these and all other problems that plague our society we need to create another consciousness the men that own and control our world know that so long as humanity either actively or passively has the same consciousness is that their power is secured they know that as long as humanity remain short sighted narcissistic meddling little people searching for instant gratification those at the top have nothing to worry about it is only when we become caring logical and independent people with the opposite consciousness that we can effect real change upon this world i think of when you were a teenager trying to establish your independence you might have huffed and puffed around the house to get what you wanted and depending on what kind of parent you had that might have worked and you think about it you didn't really want to car or to stay out late as much as you wanted your independence from your parents paradigm to do what you wanted to do to make your own mistakes to be free from others controlling you this is what we want in all of humanity to live our lives to love who we want to love to do what we want to do without others interfering in our lives most teenage rebellion is misguided in often never really results in any true freedom since they never change the consciousness of the dependent state and parents never solve the problem by not changing the consciousness from the controlling state even the most well intentioned parent really has no clue of what will make their child happy so why bother trying to control them as long as they're not in mortal danger parents should just let go the child can only begin to find out what will make them happy by following their passions independent of their parents slamming the door yelling or the quiet treatment will not result in you gaining any real power the only way for you to gain true freedom of your parents is to become independent of them to think and provide for yourself without their help or even approval that is what becoming an adult is all about your parents probably did not respect you as an adult until you acted independently from them even that might not do it but regardless of your parents respect you for your independence you know that you can survive and thrive outside of their paradigm and all of third temps to control your life are now rendered useless some parents might still try to control you but they usually get relegated to holidays and only in  symbolic fashion because you know you don't have to listen to them anymore don't believe them don't fear them don't ask anything of them alexander solzhenitsyn think about what you are really upset about in the world today it could be war taxes the government encroachments on our privacy or whatever you'll waste time hacking at the branches and not the root of the problem when you really want is your freedom and independence and to be left alone the fundamental reason why any formalized group effort like occupy wall street or the tea party will fail is that it is a collective effort against a collective problem one of the same consciousness you cannot beg for power you need to be independent of power sending good people into reform  state is like sending virgins in to reform a whorehouse anonymous the game is rigged and nothing will change with elections protest editorials occupy movements or tea parties they are important but they will not change the system the they lack the mature wisdom to guide them to the root of their problems and to become a real threat to those that seek to control them if you want to become a real threat to the system act independently of the system this is essentially what a responsible citizen must do to  oppressive government slamming your door at your parents house is the same as a million man march you think it is a show of power but those that are in charge think it's a cute but meaningless exertion of power and do not fear it in the least let them march all they want so long as they pay their taxes alexander haig you must physically financially politically intellectually emotionally and even spiritually remove yourself from their control the most potent weapon of the oppressor is the mind of the oh pressed stephen biko you cannot change the world to make yourself happy or free you must change yourself to make the world happy and free be the change that you wish to see in the world is long as humanity believes that they can change the world to make themselves happy or free we will continue to fall into this trap over and over again generation after generation it is insanity to think that you can change the world to make yourself happy or free you can't do it on a personal level and you certainly cannot do it on a national or global level think about your own family you share the same race religion education and so on yet there's constant disagreement i can even control my three year old son so what makes us think that we can somehow change the world was seven billion people with different outlooks and motives on life no matter what you try to do to affect change in the world you never really run across others who do not share your same vision and because they come from different experiences education and awareness as you are they will naturally become opposite force they will naturally push against any effort you have and this ultimately devolves into a middle of the road solution that leaves no real change a lot of wasted time energy and money this also gives power to the parasitical middle men that manipulate both sides to their advantage true independence can only come from within we knew this on some level when we were teenagers but we felt for what the world and our masters offered us freedom college degrees big houses fast cars consumer products shallow relationships or grues this inevitably leads to debt frustration and an empty hole in our lives which we usually do not fully realize until we are way past our prime wasting the best part of our life the only thing in the world that you really can control is you so stop trying to change others be the change that you want to be in the world it is very important to know that we also have no right to enforce our version of freedom and happiness and others no matter how much you feel you are right people must come to their own decisions on their own terms and timetable when we focus our time energy and money on working on our own personal freedom we will not only see real effective change we will show the way for millions of others to follow when you are truly
