So is there an escape from this reality, or can we somehow rewrite a healthier and happier way of living? Maybe ATS members have an answer
Whether you realize it or not, we are all dreaming the world into being. What we’re engaging in is not the sleeping dream we’re familiar with, but the waking dream we craft with our eyes open. When we’re unaware that we all share the power to co-create reality with the help of the universe itself, that power slips away from us and our dream turns into a nightmare.
We begin to feel we’re the victims of an unknown and frightening creation that we’re unable to influence or change. Events seem to control us and trap us.

Sitting quietly alone, against a tree in nature, I was able to look in from the outside. The chaos seemed to be at every level, and I thought "Beam me out of here Scotty".
Sometimes when awareness kicks into high gear the signs of a fear based/driven society are overwhelming, and relentlessly bombarding us from every angle. As I scrolled through Netflix for a bit of escape, I again realized that the majority of movies/TV series were fear based, especially the ones that people seem to gravitate the most to, so I turned it off and jumped on the internet. Guess what I found next? lol
The advent of the internet coupled with social media has become a bitter-sweet addiction for many people, it provides some awareness for a small group that have critical thinking skills, however for the majority it has become an avenue to react quickly to MSM posted fear porn.
I can completely understand why people become drugs addicts and alcoholics, however those avenues seem to amplify the emotions after the buzz wears off and make things progressively worse.
We have fear reassurance on every level and it doesn’t stop with our supposed relaxing time, internet time or down time.
Let’s look at some facets of our way of life.
Health insurance – If someone gets sick then supposedly they are covered medically cough, cough
Auto insurance – People are covered it they get in an accident
Home insurance – Contents and dwellings are covered in case of loss
Life insurance – Loved ones are covered if the bread winners kick the bucket early.
Job insurance – Covered for a period of time in case of a job loss
Vacation insurance – Money back if things change, or something happens during travels
Bank insurance – In case the of bank failures, or fraud
Product insurance/warranty – In case your big and small toys break early
Welfare – supposedly a temporary means to get people back on their feet.
Social Security - insurance for retirement and disabilities
Pension's - Another financial insurance
401k's - Need I go on?
Religion’s insurance - the fear based dogmas, if you’re good by following rules you get to be in good group for eternity, if you’re bad you’re damned for eternity.
I personally do not watch TV or Cable anymore, not have I for many years because of the rhetoric that is spewed on a 24/7 based, and when I’m over people’s houses that have it on, it only reaffirms why I stay away from it. Can we say mind-numbing BS?
I’ve come to a conclusion that simplicity, and nature are a must to be able to gain some perspective, while living in this cluster-bomb of a world.
Lastly, it appears that no matter how much time we trade for money, and how many comforts and assurances we can afford ourselves we are many times at a net loss for a happy state of being. Could this possibly be because of our foundation and current dogmas for living?
So is there an escape from this reality, or can we somehow rewrite a healthier and happier way of living? Maybe ATS members have an answer 😊

I guess awareness is a subjective thing, however we have some inner force that tells us many times "Things shouldn't be this way in the world.". We seem to have an inner paradigm, but do really know how to properly manifest it, hence our states of unhappiness, and chaos.
