Storm Clouds 🌩️

 Democracy Dies In Denial.

    Here I was, thinking that things would always end in a bang. Instead, I’ve come to realize, they die with a whimper.

    The inevitable change of society is taking place, and there isn’t much we can do about it. The never-ending propaganda machine has claimed too many victims, too many followers. These followers are sworn by the system, and are willing to defend it no matter the cost. No matter if other people die. No matter how violent it gets. They truly believe that they are on the right side of history, supporting the most prolific killing machine of all time. 

    This false-sense of belonging is nothing new. In fact, it’s critical for the machine to have the support of these idiots in order to achieve its plan of taking over. Over and over again, these individuals have been referred to as “Useful Idiots” throughout history. Every single society which goes through this transition requires individuals who push forward their agenda, bringing in and brainwashing as many individuals as possible in order to grow in size. Eventually, with enough noise and movement, they become the majority. They become the individuals who move the needle, regardless of their ideology.

    Change is inevitable. That much is for certain. You’re either moving forward and evolving, or you’re regressing. There is no such thing as stable. The world is constantly turning, never slowly down, never stopping, for anybody. Perhaps it is up to us as humans to fully grasp that concept, and embrace the change. However, we humans have a tendency of going beyond reasonable limits, when dealing with change. We have the knack of pushing the needle way too far, creating a world where chaos reigns supreme. 

    In chaos, lies opportunity, Sun Tzu is famous for quoting that line. I agree. Chaos lies tremendous opportunity. And the chaos we are experiencing, followed by the results of said chaos which are about to appear, reek with opportunity. One of the main challenges of said opportunities is to understand what is happening, and what can be done. What can be coordinated to take advantage of all the mass confusion and disruptions to the system which we are about to experience. What can we do, as individuals, in order to fight back from these useful idiots, and provide a path of salvation.

    While writing this, I can’t help but think of Schindler’s List. The movie where Oscar Schindler creates an enamel factory during WWII, and hires Polish people to work his factory. This allows him to take advantage of the situation he currently finds himself in, and build an empire. Obviously, there is a lot more to the story which I will not be getting into, however the concept remains clear. The ability to take advantage of chaos, and create tremendous opportunity within. 

    As much as I spend my time reflecting upon the mistakes of our society here in the West, the harsh reality is beginning to set in. The reality that there is no stopping what is coming, despite my best efforts to slow it down. Much like a tsunami which has already set its course, one can only prepare for the inevitable. And make no mistake, what is about to come is inevitable. What we are about to experience cannot be stopped. Perhaps spending energy attempting to redirect it is simply energy misspent.

    Preparation is something anybody can do. However, it requires the knowledge to know what is about to come. It requires the courage to look into the past, to understand the future. It requires the ability to recognize patterns and connect the dots. It requires tremendous power and strength. Embracing the ever-changing world is something very few can do. Our ego wishes to control everything and direct the outcome. Unfortunately, our ego is a liar. It is attempting to control something which it cannot do.

    Letting go and accepting the fact that we are in for difficult times is the first step. The next, would be preparation. Understanding what is coming, and making the best of what we can with the information at hand. Next, would be to find opportunity. To discover something within the noise which can produce a signal. Something which can allow you to draw close and summon, while the noise continues to create havoc around. That signal is the most important thing we can do during the storm. It is what will give us the power and strength necessary to survive the storm. 

    Make no mistake- a storm is coming. The clouds have began to drift in. The sky darkens under the immense pressure. The atmosphere changes to a low, cool breeze. The inevitable is exactly that- inevitable. Embrace it. Look forward to it. Understand that God has sent you to this specific moment in history, for a reason. That He has designated you to be exactly where you are, with a purpose.

Once we understand our life has meaning,

we can finally begin to bring that meaning to life.

        Glory Be,

                    Amen.
