<p>Now, since some of you are still into "eastern spirituality" I found this quote somewhere and it is certainly interesting. Might even be something Dungeness likes-</p>
<p>"it is the disciple who has something special in him, and not the guru. The speciality of a disciple is his absolute faith, unflinching devotion and total absence of a critical mind. It does not matter how wretched and bogus the guru is, if the disciple has absolute faith it will bring him face to face with the inner guru. Such a disciple is greater than his guru. If the guru lacks faith and the disciple has faith, then the whole work is accomplished completely."</p>
<p>Whether or not the actual spirituality is real makes no difference to me. I just found it could be of value to some of the people who know Baba Gurinder sucks, but still want to meditate. It's all in you. If you are single minded, you could probably worship a crackhead pornstar who robs women at gunpoint and still see a lot of inner lights and hear buzzing in your ears.</p>❤❤❤ 💛🌟💛 ❤❤❤ commented on 'Open Thread 31 (free speech for comments)'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451c0aa69e20263e946fcc3200b2020-05-10T14:24:22Z2020-05-11T02:20:25Z❤❤❤ 💛🌟💛 ❤❤❤"I have heard GSD say that we have limited free will.

You wrote<br />
"And when trust breaks down the relationship falls apart. Learning to love without fear is unconditional love. But it’s really difficult to do."</p>
<p>Take it in small steps.</p>
<p>Love is unconditional because it is the foundation of all life and in infinite supply. There is no scarcity of it. But there is great ignorance of it. </p>
<p>To paraphrase Carl Sagan, we spend our lives searching the earth and digging deep into the dirt to find fossil fuels, the remains of creatures who died long ago, which we use as energy, and we fight over the land and mineral rights, command our youngsters in uniform to die by the tens of thousands for those rights. Our entire economy and wealth is based upon this scarce commodity which we protect using the dead bones and torn flesh of our children. And the burning of this sludge poisons the air, water and soil, makes our children sick, and leads our home, mother earth, upon which we all depend, to an early grave. But all the while the sun and the winds offer more energy in a day than we can use in a year. How ignorant is that? What barbarians we are! How foolish and degrading we must appear to more intelligent species that look in upon us from other worlds from time to time? </p>
<p>I think they must have a sign up to passers by stating "Off limits. Wild Irrational deadly beasts! No children allowed and no adults without special permit and military escort." </p>
<p>We have to find the love within ourselves first. That makes it easy to love and to trust, because the major source of our happiness is not the other person. It is within. If we are unshakable in that inner love, then we can love unconditionally. </p> 👍 777 👍 commented on 'Open Thread 31 (free speech for comments)'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451c0aa69e20263e8619aa6200d2020-05-09T10:32:07Z2020-05-10T02:16:58Z 👍 777 👍If only detachment were easy. . . .

<p>The lasers themselves rely upon cutting-edge "Chirped Pulse Amplification" technology, the development of which won its inventors the 2018 Nobel prize in Physics. Much smaller and simpler than any of the high-temperature fusion generators, HB11 says its generators would be compact, clean and safe enough to build in urban environments. There's no nuclear waste involved, no superheated steam, and no chance of a meltdown.</p>

<p>Will poetry go viral?</p>
<p>Mad Song<br />
BY WILLIAM BLAKE<br />
The wild winds weep, <br />
And the night is a-cold; <br />
Come hither, Sleep, <br />
And my griefs infold: <br />
But lo! the morning peeps <br />
Over the eastern steeps, <br />
And the rustling birds of dawn <br />
The earth do scorn. </p>
<p>Lo! to the vault <br />
Of paved heaven, <br />
With sorrow fraught <br />
My notes are driven: <br />
They strike the ear of night, <br />
Make weep the eyes of day; <br />
They make mad the roaring winds, <br />
And with tempests play. </p>
<p>Like a fiend in a cloud <br />
With howling woe, <br />
After night I do croud, <br />
And with night will go; <br />
I turn my back to the east, <br />
From whence comforts have increas'd; <br />
For light doth seize my brain <br />
With frantic pain.</p>Run commented on 'Open Thread 31 (free speech for comments)'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451c0aa69e20263e8617ddf200d2020-05-08T22:55:53Z2020-05-08T22:55:53ZRunhttps://youtu.be/wfGAktuU93s<p><a href="https://youtu.be/wfGAktuU93s" rel="nofollow">https://youtu.be/wfGAktuU93s</a></p>Irrational commented on 'Open Thread 31 (free speech for comments)'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451c0aa69e20263e8617dce200d2020-05-08T22:54:56Z2020-05-09T02:19:14ZIrrationalMath, it’s time you solved your own problems.<p>Math, it’s time you solved your own problems.</p>🐉 Slayer commented on 'Open Thread 31 (free speech for comments)'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451c0aa69e20263e8617c99200d2020-05-08T22:26:24Z2020-05-09T02:19:14Z🐉 Slayer All this time I’ve been focusing on “men” when I should have been focusing on the evil queen.

You lay down the impressions yourself, your reactions. All the impressions you harbor are yours. That is your future. If your deep groves are pain, then pain is the road you yourself paved and you will have to drive down it. </p>
<p>And that's good news. Because you have some small margin to move those actions. And when you find your own inner Master your margin widens because you can give many of those things to Him /Her /It. And if you keep practicing, more and more goes to Him, and less and less sticks to you. </p>
<p>Even your name calling "Ignoramus". It's tame, but you can still give that to Master also. Once that's given away, then you get the love you ask about. It's all in you. Love actually doesn't require impressions unless you need to be reminded. Love is the natural state in the absence, even temporarily, of impressions, of their effect, on us. </p>

<p>Was this directed at me or Spence? It almost made me laugh. Almost.</p>
<p>Yesterday was full moon in Scorpio. Somebody just shoot me. </p>
<p>“LOVE”?? Even if this was directed at Spence, I have to add a comment about it. Yesterday I was thinking about how they say a mother’s love for her child is almost the purest love there is. And I thought, it’s because she loves the child and is secure knowing the child loves her because it needs her. </p>
<p>But other relationships are much more difficult. Unconditional love is almost impossible. In relationships people are more vulnerable because they’re not “needed” the same way that a child needs it’s mother. This makes people insecure and afraid of rejection. And when that happens people lose trust. And when trust breaks down the relationship falls apart. Learning to love without fear is unconditional love. But it’s really difficult to do.</p>7 commented on 'Open Thread 31 (free speech for comments)'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451c0aa69e20263e94670a1200b2020-05-08T14:49:02Z2020-05-09T02:19:14Z7@Sonia "" by the Chinese government which is what our intelligence community believes.

"It’s interesting... the cycle of life. But it never ends, in theory. Say one comes back and causes extreme suffering for someone that hurt them in a past life, then the abuser in that case will have to come back for another life so the person they abused can abuse them. It never ends."</p>
<p>Karma doesn't work that way, actually. </p>
<p>The person who was abused, and became used to it as part of their experience will return to being abused over and over again. </p>
<p>Unless they desire to harm tyrants and have rehearsed that retribution daily in their heart, and then they take that role if that is their principle impression. </p>
<p>But generally speaking, we return to the roles we have rehearsed day in and day out. The victim will become another victim, a hundred lifetimes. And the bully will just become a hundred varieties of bully, until it's beaten out of them, or they wear it out. </p>
<p>The tyrant who loved tyranny will return to becoming a tyrant over and over again. </p>
<p>Until they all become so sick of these roles that they fight with all their might to break free. </p>
<p>It is the impressions that bring us back, not our notions of justice. The notion that life is fair of fool's gold. Life is in perfect balance, but it isn't fair in any way shape or form. This is just the lie of religion to control and enslave people. </p>
<p>I may desire to be someone else. But it is the impression of what I am that is generally much, much stronger. </p>
<p>The notion of balance has gotten confused in the mythology that has developed around Karma. The impressions upon you are the only thing bringing you back to those same impressions. </p>
<p>When you make a mold, that impression can only produce more copies of itself. </p>
<p>That's how Karma actually functions. </p>Spence Tepper commented on 'Open Thread 31 (free speech for comments)'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451c0aa69e20263ec1804a0200c2020-05-08T04:00:41Z2020-05-08T04:00:41ZSpence Tepper Dear Sonia Sheena could have responded to Gurinder in a completely different way, independently.

Sheena could have responded to Gurinder in a completely different way, independently. "Yes I've known a few men. I'm best equipped to speak about these things. Far better than you, Baba Ji. Your own Master Maharaji admitted he was not equipped to give marital advice. But in either case I think the person with the most successful experience knows best about these things. You handle spirituality, if that is your experience. I'll handle advice about getting along with men. Deal? </p>
<p>"We hardly need men to go around publicly shaming women, wives or otherwise anymore. Really, you are offering a terrible model to the men right now." </p>
<p>"In a marriage both parties need to work very hard and submit to each other, wife to husband and husband to wife. Or wife to wife and husband to husband, whatever the case may be. That's just for everybody. And, news flash, Baba Ji, the whole relationship rests on respect for each other, and forgiveness. No public shaming. Really, what is that supposed to accomplish? Are you pandering to the women - haters? Please stop. I forgive you, Baba Ji. Now please walk the talk. "</p>
<p>Write your own script. So that next time some asshole tries to humiliate you in public you are ready to give as good as you receive. </p>Sonia commented on 'Open Thread 31 (free speech for comments)'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451c0aa69e20263ec17f628200c2020-05-08T00:19:45Z2020-05-08T03:03:48ZSonia@Jesse I don’t hate men.

<p>The idea of past lives makes sense as far as a lot of inexplicable things go. Like why are some born into extreme poverty and suffering while others have more than they’ll ever need and are (seemingly) very blessed.</p>
<p>It’s interesting... the cycle of life. But it never ends, in theory. Say one comes back and causes extreme suffering for someone that hurt them in a past life, then the abuser in that case will have to come back for another life so the person they abused can abuse them. It never ends. </p>
<p>Maybe some people just turn into ghosts. 🤷♀️ 👻 </p>
<p>This why forgiveness is good. I have a difficult time practicing it when it comes to certain things, and to be honest there are a few things I don’t feel like I can forgive. But I guess if I don’t forgive, I’ll just have to come back to another life. 🙄</p>
<p>I guess I’d rather forgive than deal with those individuals again. </p>
<p>Wow! Good chat. I’m glad you brought up that story. I don’t need “ghosts” hanging around. I guess I’ll “forgive” them. </p>
<p>I think that’s kind of how we release our demons, so to speak. And most people don’t want to look into the darkness but the fact is some people act quite demonic—the Hitlers and Genghis Khans of the world... and there have been some monstrous women as well.</p>
<p>Well, to end this on a more positive note, I’m going to burn some sage, light a candle, and say a prayer for the somewhat recently deceased.

<p>That was in no way unfortunate. It's literally one of the only reasons why we're alive.</p>
<p> Now that men in "the west" are encouraged to be irrational, weak, and emotionally expressive, we see the death of our entire civilization approaching, and far more violent and less emotional people quickly entering our territories and waiting for the best time to easily slaughter us all. Just imagine Detroit multiplied times a million.</p>
<p>World leaders like Erdogan talk about it openly and taunt countries like Germany and the entire EU. Hindutva advocates are very open about their desire to take over the west if not the entire world and exact revenge on white people. The best thing for these sorts of psychopaths is crying men whose veins pump soy juice.</p>
<p>There'll be a reckoning one day for all the upside-down self destructive theories the politically left leaning of America and Europe have imposed on us all , but nobody will get any joy from it because those who are correct get nothing for being correct. We will simply have to suffer for your mistakes along with you. </p>
<p>Thanks a lot. Your hatred of men is really cool and edgy.<br />

Once upon a time a young girl saw a picture of a child in poverty. The picture was so compelling she cried for days. Her parents tried to console her. After all it was just a very old picture of some stranger. </p>
<p>She could not be consoled. For years little things would set her off. Anguish over the suffering of others. And then in time the pain this unveiled transformed into anger. And anger into action. She fixed things. But still the grief was there. She tried to locate a cause. But to little avail. The cause was long before she took birth. </p>
<p>She had no idea of the suffering of her family in a recent past life. She had no of idea of the trauma she was carrying. She was brought back because of it. </p>
<p>One day someone, a friend, suggested that she go on crying for a while. There was no one left to be angry with. But the grief, accumulated over several lifetimes, though seemingly out of place and context in this life, wasn't. </p>
<p>She was naturally and very healthfully dealing with her own past. She had to honor that grief, and all the other wonderful things she began to discover within herself by letting things progress in their natural way. We can let go, but we cannot throw this away. It passes naturally, and we become stronger because of it. </p>Sonia commented on 'Open Thread 31 (free speech for comments)'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451c0aa69e20263e8612332200d2020-05-07T20:14:49Z2020-05-07T20:14:49ZSoniaThis is my favorite part of Sheena’s book—it’s very sad but I appreciate her willingness to tell the truth. This...<p>This is my favorite part of Sheena’s book—it’s very sad but I appreciate her willingness to tell the truth.</p>
<p>This type of behavior is shocking indeed. She went through far worse treatment by him than most people. I think Gurinder’s wife was extremely jealous of Sheena which is probably the reason she became the victim of so many humiliations. It’s no excuse, but some men are fools—if their wive’s chase after money they will break every rule to please them.</p>
<p>Anyway, this is only “good” because it was the end of her harrowing ordeal. It’s an important. (And GSD’s wife was no angel.)</p>
<p>“One evening, fifty of us sat facing Guruji, children and adults. People were chatting with each other while I was in a whispered conversation with a young, excited girl who was to be married in a few months. She was beaming with happiness, asking for my views on how to handle her marriage. I advised, ‘The onus is on the girl to make the adjustments initially, with the passage of time the equation changes...’ At this point Guruji asked aloud, ‘What are both of you talking about?’ When he spoke, everyone turned in our direction. The girl replied with a smile, ‘Sheena Aunty says when a girl gets married; the onus is on her to make the adjustments first...’ Guruji turned to me, raising his voice. ‘After sleeping around with so many men, who are you to advise her on marriage?’ Pin-drop silence. Fifty pairs of eyes were on me. I stared at him in total disbelief. Was this the Guruji whom I had revered and looked up to for his wisdom, for salvation? Had he just uttered those obscene, crass words? Did he realize the agony and helplessness of a woman who is a victim of character assassination? Did the seat of power give him the liberty to demean women? At that precise moment the pedestal I had put him on smashed into a million pieces. At that precise moment, he had exposed himself bare - he was not infallible - he was just an ordinary human, very ordinary indeed!”</p>Sonia commented on 'Open Thread 31 (free speech for comments)'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451c0aa69e20263e9462e2c200b2020-05-07T18:28:21Z2020-05-08T03:03:49ZSoniaHi Spence, I’m rereading Sheena’s book.

<p>Thanks, Spence. :)</p>
<p>My new mantra is peace. When I say new, I mean like in the last 24 hours. Had a pretty intense therapy session yesterday morning and realized I just have to let go. We hold pain the body—pain that has accumulated over our entire life and releasing that pain isn’t easy even when you are ready to let it go. Tears are the body’s way of releasing pain. When someone is crying they’re getting relief. Unfortunately our society historically hasn’t been as accepting of men crying. I think that has just added to all sorts of problems for everyone.</p>
<p>So, I’m repeating ‘Peace’ and it’s giving me the strength to just sit with the pain and somehow I feel certain effects of the pain leaving even though my heart feels broken. Peace gives us patience and strength. I think it’s the thing that has been missing from my life. Wise people learn acceptance. I’m not a wise person but maybe someday...</p>

Giving these to our loving Master releases us from that anxiety, and brings us closer to acting from peace; adapting rather than reacting with either aggression or retreat. Master has a functional role in our lives. </p>
<p>When we can successfully make progress doing this, trusting in inner Master to take these burdens, to bring us peace and insight, we experience moments of freedom from that anxiety and frustration, fear and attachment. In those moments we realize we are surrounded by peace. In the midst of the world moving, nature, God, Master gives us a space to exist in, and it is largely pleasant. We still have our role to play. If we are momentarily stopped in traffic we can enjoy that spot. And when traffic moves forward, we maintain our peace attending to the traffic and keeping pace. Even then, we can take that atmosphere of peace and freedom with us wherever we go. Disrupted by events, we can withdraw, reconnect with that peace, re-establish our connection with it we had momentarily forgotten, and proceed ahead with the next step of our lives. </p>
<p>This is the basic foundation and power of all spirituality. It is uncomplicated, but it is a little work, a little devotion to Master, who is our own development and next step. </p>Jesse commented on 'Open Thread 31 (free speech for comments)'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451c0aa69e20263e860da72200d2020-05-06T21:19:24Z2020-05-07T02:51:02ZJesseMy anti-feminism rant was one of the few undeniably true things I've ever written.

I’ll go one step further to piss you off even more by saying that you married an Indian woman believing she’d be more submissive than an American woman of your generation.

<p>Now that you’re fired up, wtf were you thinking when you got initiated? </p>

During the regime of Charan Singh and specially before the decade of 70’s, the initiation was very simple and in many cases had nothing to do with faith. There are thousands of initiates, including many holding high ranks in RSSB who have never tried to meditate, nor they have faith like westerners.</p>
<p>In most of the places in India, people were convinced to get initiated and most youngsters from RSSB families were automatically enrolled for initiation.</p>
<p>In late 60’s, people above the age of 18 could present themselves for spot initiation during Charan’s visit to the place, where he would only ask whether you eat meat or drink. Even many below the age of 18 were also initiated.<br />

<p>I think even Gurinder admitted to not being much of a meditator before he was assigned to be Master. And then he had to try and catch up to speed. Not sure where he landed. I’ve never seen him within so I can’t attest to his Mastership.</p>
<p>There is an accepted belief in Group Consciousness Theory that the more people who believe in an idea the more powerful it becomes. Today 20M + people are RSSB initiates. That’s just 6M shy of the Sikh religion, but RSSB isn’t counting family so who knows the real impact of RSSB worldwide. This pandemic has been a huge RS PR boom for Dera. No doubt there with be an exponential amount of applications for initiation when Dera is “open” again.</p>

I’m not sure where conscience or moral compass fits into the scientific model but I believe we all have experienced it with the exception of a tiny percent of people. Some people are purely tribal and they only feel bad when they’ve hurt someone in their family or “tribe”. Kind of like most animals or the mafia. </p>

And, for the record, here’s what I believe about RSSB. You get initiated based on faith. Then you’re supposed to use the SOS “scientific” method….</p>
<p>…The present initiation process is quite different. During the regime of Charan Singh and specially before the decade of 70’s, the initiation was very simple and in many cases had nothing to do with faith. There are thousands of initiates, including many holding high ranks in RSSB who have never tried to meditate, nor they have faith like westerners.</p>
<p>In most of the places in India, people were convinced to get initiated and most youngsters from RSSB families were automatically enrolled for initiation.</p>
<p>In late 60’s, people above the age of 18 could present themselves for spot initiation during Charan’s visit to the place, where he would only ask whether you eat meat or drink. Even many below the age of 18 were also initiated.<br />

<p>Because Bill Gates is an idealist... and naive. Probably so naive because he’s an idealist. He certainly isn’t trying to gain anymore profit—that’s not what he’s about. He’s just one of those rainbow-pie-in-the-sky idealists. That’s not a bad thing except for when you’re dealing with people who aren’t so ideal.

Any evidence he would have seen would have come from them. Also, the Intelligence community is say it’s not CONCLUSIVE that it came from the lab.

The Newsweek piece explains a research method to enhance the transmissibility of natural viruses called gain-of-function (GOF), which could be suspected. It's controversial for obvious reasons, but "Scientists in many of the more than 30 BSL-4 labs around the world had used them to enhance the transmissibility of respiratory-tract pathogens."</p>

<p> China surprised the world today and decided to cancel the dollar peg in the stock exchange transactions and decided to deal officially and the official link to the Chinese yuan instead of the dollar, and this is a bold and important step in China's economic history. This means that the dollar has become non-existent in Chinese trading and the US dollar will fall strongly against the Chinese yuan and may affect it in global markets. And all the global markets were stunned by the decision. The news was discussed today on the BBC World English afternoon program. It is an economic war that could lead the world to a devastating war that cannot be neglected if America acts foolishly in the face of this decision !! China 2021 will lead the world. This is China's old dream and what it planned to achieve for decades or more.<br />

<p>But always remember, all you faithful who believe, that you trusted the same government approved scientists that claim marijuana is more dangerous than fentanyl to guide your views on this coronavirus. And you trusted the same media who, in collaboration with foreign and domestic government, invented stories about our president urinating on hookers to start a coup.</p>

<p>Trevor,</p>
<p>Timely and interesting comment, “Never forget, your Guru owns your soul and what it can be subject to.“</p>
<p>I’ve never forgotten that and that is exactly what caused the extreme bitterness that drove us apart. He doles out punishment and no forgiveness for past sins (in my case something I did when I was in my 20’s). I had such bitterness towards Him for that.</p>
<p>But that’s my Chiron. I’m starting not to care about... but a tremendous amount of apathy in general surrounds the subject.</p>
<p>I’ll weigh my words carefully.</p>
<p>Apparently some sins can’t be forgiven. That’s fine but there will never be closeness or love where that is concerned. Just a sense of duty and obligation.</p>
<p>Chiron rules here.</p>
<p>@Trevor</p>
<p>I’m sorry I responded the way I did. I just took “Never forget, your Guru owns your soul and what it can be subject to.“ as a threat.</p>
<p>I realize (hope) now that you didn’t mean it like that. It just felt like you were threatening me at the time.</p>

It is almost impossible to convince anyone that has yet to awaken to the truth of...<p>The awakening of humanity.</p>
<p>It is almost impossible to convince anyone that has yet to awaken to the truth of human nature, that they are trapped in a perceptive reality... created by their own mind.<br />
The human mind is a powerful creator that processes all incoming information to generate the perceptive reality we live in. <br />
Change the information...change the perception of reality.<br />
Looking out, it is easy to believe that the world we see, is all there is.<br />
Albert Einstein once said,<br />
"Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one."</p>
<p>Even in this very dense layer of reality, most humans are aware that we exist in different layers of perceptive awareness that fundamentally changes how each of us experiences life. <br />
Still our limited perspective prevents us from applying that awareness beyond the conditioning of our mind by the Religious Institutions and Educational System... to see the trap. </p>
<p>I wish I could simply do as the character Morpheus did in the Matrix, and give all those that have yet to awaken a red pill to help them see what they really are... but that is not how Consciousness works. <br />
So we have to suffer to slowly break down all our false beliefs, to finally get to a place where we are forced to look inside and feel our inherent connection to Source, nature, and one another... to understand the truth of all that we are. <br />
That is something ‘the system’ does not want. </p>
<p>In regard to the required suffering.... NOW, this time when humanity is being driven into fear and being manipulated into choosing control as a form as safety, will lead directly to the suffering that will serve its purpose, and awaken the masses from the illusion. <br />
How much we suffer depends on how many of us are awakened.</p>
<p>The fear you see manifesting across the face of humanity is merely a symptom of our disconnection from our true nature; a fear that is being exploited to sustain another branch of Consciousness... to feed their need. </p>
<p>On this plane of existence, your purpose is to awaken to your true nature, or you will continue to create suffering until it eventually forces you to change your mind, and look within for the answers. </p>
<p>You have been misled to look for ‘God’, safety, comfort, abundance and love.... out there. <br />
You have been conditioned to believe that you are small and insignificant, that you are something separate from creation and the rest of humanity. <br />
You have been conditioned by your education to believe that the system is there to protect and to help you create an independent life where you have free will. <br />
In fact, almost everything you have been taught has been a manipulation to suppress the inevitable awakening of Consciousness and keep humanity in a State of Fear...<br />
to hide the fact that OUR LIFE FORCE IS A RESOURCE.<br />
(FEAR - Our underlying state of mind, or our output frequency, is a form of sustenances until we transcend into our ‘higher’ states of Being... LOVE) </p>
<p>If sheep could think as humans do, they would probably love the kind farmer that feeds them and protects them from predators. <br />
They would cling to the safety of that illusion until one or two of the crazy sheep started to notice that the lambs keep disappearing. <br />
If the herd could be convinced to shift their perception of the farmer, to focus their attention on looking for the lambs that kept mysteriously disappearing, they would finally start to smell the blood from the slaughter house hidden behind the hill. Then the sheep would suddenly realise... the fence is not there to keep the wolves out. <br />
But they cannot....</p>
<p>Your mind cannot see the trap because it is the trap... a trap that has been manipulated for thousands of years. <br />
In the age of information technology ‘they’ have just become extremely efficient at it.</p>
<p>Look beyond your beliefs, look at what the system suppresses... <br />
only you can find the truth. <br />
You won’t believe anyone else.</p>
