As far as I can see there will be no mass awakening. That is a rather hopeful expectation. The measure of awakening realistically required comes after
a lifetime apprenticeship. Most people are economists - they can suffer a little less, or indulge a little more.
Russell Brand may have 5.9 million subscribers who all seem to be as he calls them “Awakening Wonders” but these people I see as flag wavers at
the rumours of a coming war. They understand the underbelly of international politics and enjoy the feeling of privileged holders of insights into the
truths that alternative media has made available….theoretically…..but….
All their lives, they have only known one line of action: the search for pleasure to some degree or other. They are not qualified to fight the battle
required after “awakening”. They are not prepared to suffer, they are not prepared for homelessness, they are not prepared to feel pain or
poverty, they are not prepared to lose their reputations, they are not prepared for chaos. They are not prepared to die. They are not prepared to
lose.
For those with eyes to see and ears to hear, the nature of the planetary reality is at a critical point. If you accept this, you are a bring-down
poisoning society with your miserable prophet of doom forecasts. You have forgotten how to chase pleasures great and small and after all life is
short, _ehova’s Witnesses have been preaching the end of the world for decade after decade and we’re still here, right?
The only question I have is, what actually is “awakening” and what price should we be expected to pay for it? Is it political awakening?
Whatever it is I don’t think we have much to lose by moulding the world into an earthly paradise of our own designs. But we don’t own our world.
We only lease a small plot and continue to pay taxes on it. We are prisoners of created mediums of exchange. We only lease those monetary units
created by the game meisters. We are easily defeated as we are all playing someone else’s game for a reward of carnal pleasures.
Isn’t awakening discovering what it is in our nature that cannot be threatened, or starved out or isolated? As Sherlock Holmes would say, “The
game is afoot”.
