			This article is not about whether the earth is flat, round 
			or something else, but about the rabid dogmatism, intolerance 
			and religiosity that has apparently taken hold with the more staunch 
			adherents to this new perspective and to put it in a clearer 
			context. 
			 
			
			Flat earth or whatever theory that 
			somehow brings unnecessary contention and division is an 
			indicator of something we're seeing throughout the information 
			field, and such lower level forcing of assertions have been a source 
			of infection in many arenas for generations - some obvious and some 
			not so obvious, but the symptoms are the same. 
			 
			Because something is perhaps true or not true does not make any of 
			us an unquestionable source of anything. We're here to each wake 
			up individually, and no form of forced persuasion, 
			threats or bludgeoning will change our minds. 
			 
			That's the beauty of the human spirit and
			
			our eternal consciousness. 
			
			  
			
			  
			
			  
			
			 
			How Do We Fall 
			Into These Traps? 
			 
			The following might help explain a lot of things to a lot of people.
			 
			
			  
			
			The overarching question of how segments 
			of humanity can fall for lies and deceit of any type is an 
			intriguing one. More importantly, how can agendas be carried out by 
			so many lemming like sycophants of the clearly illuminist empire to 
			the obvious degradation of humankind? 
			 
			The answer may surprise you. 
			 
			I'm not trying to imply this latest flat earth investigation 
			is wrong, as it's important information that needs processing and a 
			wonderful world of discovery.  
			
			  
			
			The point is so many play into 
			mechanisms they may not be fully aware of. 
			
			  
			
			  
			
			  
			
			 
			Behold the 
			Predator - "They Gave Us Their Mind" 
			 
			They, those outside our playing field, work through the mind.  
			
			  
			
			What we think are rational processes are 
			not always what they seem.  
			
			  
			
			Minds can be tricked, and very easily, 
			contrary to what your self-reinforcing mind might tell you. That's 
			why it's important to not play in their arena; they're smarter 
			than us on a certain level, a level we don't belong in and 
			should shirk. 
			 
			And it all has to do with the mind... 
			 
			This quotation from 
			
			Don Juan Matus alludes to this 
			aspect of which we all should be well aware: 
			
				
				"We have a predator that came from 
				the depths of the cosmos and took over the rule of our lives.
				 
				  
				
				Human beings are its prisoners. The 
				predator is our lord and master. 
				 
				It has rendered us docile, helpless. If we want to protest, it 
				suppresses our protest. If we want to act independently, it 
				demands that we don't do so… Indeed we are held prisoner! 
				 
				They took us over because we are food to them, and 
				they squeeze us mercilessly because we are their sustenance. 
				 
				Sorcerers believe the predators have given us our systems of 
				beliefs, our ideas of good and evil: our social mores. They are 
				the ones who set up our dreams of success or failure. They have 
				given us covetousness, greed, and cowardice. 
				 
				In order to keep us obedient and meek and weak, the predators 
				engaged a stupendous maneuver, 
				
					
						- 
						
						stupendous, of course, from 
						the point of view of a fighting strategist 
						 
						- 
						
						a horrendous maneuver from 
						the point of view of those who suffer it  
					 
				 
				
				They gave us their mind... 
				 
				The predators' mind is baroque, contradictory, morose, filled 
				with fear of being discovered any minute now. 
				 
				Sorcerers of ancient Mexico reasoned that man must have been a 
				complete being at one point, with stupendous insights, feats of 
				awareness that are mythological legends nowadays. And then, 
				everything seems to disappear, and we have now a sedated man. 
				 
				What I am saying is that what we have against us is not a simple 
				predator. It is very smart, and organized. It follows a 
				methodical system to render us useless. 
				 
				Man, the magical being that he is destined to be, is no longer 
				magical.  
				  
				
				He's an average piece of meat…" 
				 
				Don Juan Matus 
				
				in Castaneda's "The Active Side of Infinity" 
			 
			
			  
			
			 
			 
			How Do We 
			Differentiate? 
			 
			This is the human dilemma.  
			
			  
			
			We're born into these physical 
			body-minds with an immediate challenge.  
			
			  
			
			We are not greeted from the outset as 
			being spiritual or super sentient and innately awakened beings as we 
			should. Instead we are neglected, abandoned and ultimately abused. 
			And so begins the treadmill of denial, fighting to gain acceptance, 
			and a life of involuntary co-dependence and servitude. 
			 
			Quite the heavy concept for most to wrap their minds around but this 
			is our reality. 
			 
			Finding out the fundamental truths that are so contrary to what 
			we've been taught is a rough road. It's never, or rarely, met by 
			others with compassion and understanding, but rather ridicule and 
			belittlement.  
			
			  
			
			Hence so many are shying away from 
			reality. No matter. It will meet them halfway anyway.  
			
			  
			
			Eventually... 
			
			  
			
			  
			
			  
			
			 
			Symptoms of 
			the Archontic Mindset 
			 
			Whether you subscribe to the Juan Matus or Gnostic understanding of 
			our reality or not, the fundamental teachings remain - from the
			
			Tao Te Ching through Zen Buddhism 
			and the like and even eclectic western philosophy as well as 
			psychology reflect this same underlying nature of reality, that the 
			mind is more often the tool of illusory ego fabrication and lower 
			dimensional reinforcement of extremely hindering psychic mechanisms 
			than a helpful friend. 
			 
			The right brain, left brain picture tells the tale in another 
			fashion. 
			 
			Once aware of profound spiritual forces active in our universe with 
			which we interact, things take on other dimensions and require 
			deeper levels of awareness to truly get the big picture.  
			
			  
			
			It's up to each of us to discover these 
			experientially, not just intellectually, which hails to the crux of 
			the matter we're addressing here. 
			 
			If you apply this
			
			archontic understanding to our 
			mental nature and often untoward inclination to justify everything 
			via non-conscious, pre-programmed reason, a lot makes sense. 
			
			  
			
			  
			
			  
			
			 
			Enter the Flat 
			Earth Contra-versy - Example of a Digital Inquisition? 
			 
			This has to be addressed.  
			
			  
			
			Not just because I have been attacked 
			personally for not conforming to what certain individuals in this 
			movement seem to require in order for anyone to be considered a 
			valid source of information, but to help people understand the 
			symptoms and origins of this type of rigid insistence that causes 
			such uncalled for conflict and division. 
			
				
					- 
					
					Who needs a government psyop 
					when we can individually yield to the archontic mindset?
					 
					  
					 
					- 
					
					After all, who is our real 
					enemy?   
				 
			 
			
			Let that bake your noodle... 
			 
			To attack alternative websites for not wanting to take on some 
			belief system, real or unreal, is so counter-intuitive to the 
			awakening process it is staggering. So many very intelligent and 
			well "informed" people going combative for a particular mindset that 
			seems to be a catch-all solution is actually disturbing to me.
			 
			
			  
			
			I admit, I am fascinated by the flat 
			earth information and know we've been lied to on every front and 
			love learning new information and challenging realizations. 
			 
			But don't give me ultimatums. 
			
				
					- 
					
					Aren't I and others allowed to 
					wonder and process?   
					- 
					
					What's with the idiotic 
					insistence and condition setting?   
					- 
					
					Who do these proponents think 
					they are?  
					- 
					
					Do others with very strong 
					beliefs and personally experienced based systems insist 
					everyone get on board and publish their stuff or you're a 
					shill worried about your income or you can go to hell?
					  
				 
			 
			
			Yes -
			
			mainstream religions working within 
			the 'divide and conquer' construct.  
			
			  
			
			Are those not "on board" with some 
			proposed new understanding being lumped into the same false 
			paradigm? That's simple evidence of what I am trying to discreetly 
			expound on here - without ultimatums and name calling but with 
			distinct disdain. I mean, c'mon. You who are unwittingly pushing 
			this warfare are your own psyop from the sounds of it. 
			 
			Snap out of it. Even the logic doesn't make sense, never mind the 
			exclusive spirit of the overall thrust. 
			
			  
			
			  
			
			  
			
			 
			Fundamentalism 
			Revives and Hardening of the Arteries 
			 
			What it boils down to in my understanding is a falling for this 
			archontic "yahwey or the highway" mentality. 
			
			  
			
			It divides, puts others down, creates 
			discord, disharmony and confused aggravation. That's how it works. 
			 
			When one researches the Flat Earth thoroughly, as I have, and 
			imbibe the information as well as the reaction to it, one very 
			profound realization arises. And this could very well be the crux of 
			our problem. 
			 
			The iconic-archontic savior concept... 
			
			  
			
			While I do know there is a wonderful 
			creative force we're all part of, this so clearly plays into the 
			mind control matrix paradigm. And this is what we need to remain 
			aware of as well as transcend. 
			 
			Flat earth fundamentalists manifest, confirm, reinforce and greatly 
			magnify the God-Creator factor and contend that this one 
			realization of the flat earth truth will single-handedly bring down 
			the matrix.  
			
			  
			
			Interestingly enough, I'm not against 
			the theory in it's most esoteric form and love solutions of all 
			sorts. Creation and our particular place in a magnificent creative 
			universe and our wonderfully particular place makes a lot of sense 
			in many ways. 
			 
			But this can also be seen through the lens of
			
			the holographic universe 
			understanding of our situation without all this godhead stuff that's 
			being implicated.  
			
			  
			
			There are many interpretations that 
			shouldn't be excluded. Point being, the easily adopted creator 
			concept could be a set up for the unwary to be cleverly hijacked 
			by the archontic influences of hierarchy, 
			patriarchy and domination. 
			 
			Take it for what you will, but let's stay open and conscious here. 
			
			  
			
			  
			
			  
			
			 
			Warning Bells 
			 
			Serious warning bells went off when I found this factor over and 
			over from the very staunch and more belligerent proponents of this 
			issue that are now giving this false choice, in or out type options 
			with all the incumbent ultimatums.  
			
			  
			
			What gives? Is there no room for debate, 
			time to digest and present the information for people to decide for 
			themselves? Not a very winsome approach if you ask me. 
			 
			What's with this "weighing in" precipitation process? Where the hell 
			does that come from? 
			 
			Flat, round or pear shaped as one confused physicist said, we all 
			exist here together with very real challenges. That the flat earth 
			realization will solve any and every problem is tantamount to 
			following a religious belief for salvation, salvationism 
			being the ultimate control tool of the archontic mindset. 
			 
			If you make it a religion you've lost your argument, real or not 
			real. And the attachment to it is nothing less than the archontic/illusory 
			mind once again seeking to take control. 
			 
			Separate truth from this fundamentalist thrust and you might get 
			some traction.  
			
			  
			
			This confrontational tack is way wrong 
			and contrary to any and all consciously awakened methodologies that 
			have brought us this far. 
			
			  
			
			  
			
			  
			
			 
			Conclusion 
			 
			Despite these unnecessary yet revealing skirmishes, the march to 
			loving truth goes on.  
			
			  
			
			When forces attempt to disrupt this 
			powerful yet somewhat sensitive process it bothers me. Overall, I 
			have to admit it disturbs me how people cannot grasp the importance 
			of actively participating in the awakening, but 
			skirmishes like this don't help one bit. 
			 
			There are so many easily available vectors to just walk into, worlds 
			of empowering and enlightening information and encouragement.  
			
				
			 
			
			  
			
			  
			
			 
			Seek and Find 
			 
			"You Are the Awakening". It's nowhere else. It's in you, it's in me.
			 
			
			  
			
			We cannot change the external world 
			unless we ourselves are changed. Let it happen. 
			Discern the pressure lobbies, whatever truth they may bear. We're 
			here to freely learn. 
			 
			Lose you mind. Find your heart.  
			
			  
			
			And don't forget to dump the infected 
			rubbish after gleaning the truth...
