Let's just come out and admit that right now, and it will make all our lives much simpler.
When I was at Yale, I was part of a number of little groups, and one group was mentored by this old man (a retired professor in the history department) whose views really opened my eyes. He said "People who are Awake owe no more to those who slumber than the quick owe to the dead".
Some people spend so much time worrying about the "rights" of those who are too lazy or dull witted to catch on that they wind up making themselves miserable. Those of us who have wings were meant to soar, not to crawl along the ground with the rest of the cattle.
Many of the "conspiracies" painted in such sinister colors (the NWO, etc) will really be blessings for those of us who think and feel in full vibrant color and what becomes of those who see grey and eat gruel is of no consequence to us. All will be treated humanely so long as they cooperate, but those of us who have talent and insight will be rewarded. I tell you the truth.
It's like the so called "economic crisis". Those of us with any kind of foresight have been making the right kinds of investments (dumping real estate, buying precious metals) for some time now. If the hordes need to be brought to their knees for their own good, it's none of our affair. Similarly the use of religious and social issues to render more malleable the teeming masses is no vice, in the end it's for their own good.
I just want those of us who are Awake to feel no shame in it, to luxuriate in the radiance of full consciousness and to have faith that all works for the best of those who deserve it.
Take it from the longhaired libertarian.
Rock 'n roll.

This is the exact self absorbed attitude that is creating this society of one mans pain is another mans gain.
Opened your eyes? More like shovelled a tonne of sand over them.
You need to take a long hard look in the mirror.
Your ignorance has shocked me to say the least.

If you are truly enjoying your enlightenment and awareness, with no concern for humanity living by the billions under a steep sentence of poverty, infanticide, exploitation and slavery by the cartel, then you cannot say you are truly awake. We aren't being called to wake up for ourselves. Those who can see are on active duty!
You might think you're "awake" and therefor "special", but a lot of you have a lot of "growing up" to do. You need some real life experiences. Not everything revolves around your pot induced beliefs. Real life doesn't care about your beliefs no matter what ivy league school you attended or how profound you and your friends think they are.
Now, discarding humanity is indeed arrogant and snobish, and that is the premisse of the OP.
Belief: Why do you think these things are happening? That is based on your perception and is very subjective.
If the reason I believe these things are happening differs from your reasons will you think I am "asleep" (or would I think you are "asleep").
