The Void
We are living in unprecedented times. You could say we, as a collective, are living the unfolding realities of all the best and worst movies that have ever been. It’s an interesting perspective, is it not? All the possibilities and imagined Sci-Fi, Horror, Romances, Historical, and Literary creations with all their many scenarios, are, or have somewhere, been lived out by someone. A president gets assassinated, and the story becomes a movie. Then, books are written, resulting in a variety of interpretations of what really happened. A mysterious object crashes outside a town in New Mexico, and suddenly there is a new tourist industry, new books, Google groups, and conventions - and, of course, a movie. You get the idea. You can also see how one particular version of any situation could be engineered by powerful, unscrupulous minds with unlimited resources to control the perception, beliefs, and actual sense of “reality” of the majority of the population of the world. This has been going on for thousands of years, but has reached an extremely dangerous level with the advent of highly sophisticated technology such as AI.
Most people are unaware of how their perceptions have been moulded by unconscious programming and the insidious use of modern technology in the hands of the giants who now control our lives and the hidden giants who control them. Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Apple, Walmart, McDonald’s, CBS, ABC, the major banks, medical and pharmaceutical establishments, the health care and insurance industries, the transportation and food distribution industries, and many large corporations, too numerous to mention, control almost all areas of our lives and have put more and more people on the street corners with pieces of cardboard - “Anything helps”. Cash will be obsolete before long, and it may be soon that we are being “recommended” to get chipped “for our own safety.”
So, in the face of so many potentially “scary” scenarios, what does one do? It is with this in mind that the Guides have been discussing the Void and are recommending a set of principles and practices for remaining grounded, sovereign and at ease in the present moment as we navigate the many changes during this interesting period. It is vital to examine everything. This is the first of a list of recommendations that are reflected in the teachings from our book, The Path of the Spiritual Warrior. I will elucidate on some of these over the next few blog posts. These are indispensable to maintaining sanity, stability and peace of mind.
