Damn it, this thing is so elusive. I've woken up this morning and everything seems normal and I'm starting to doubt my own reasoning. My rational mind is saying this cannot possibly be true yet I must acknowledge that it's my rational mind that got me here in the first place!

I feel I'm on the verge of insanity so I've decided to take a step back and ponder for a while. Then I'll try to attack this from a different angle i.e. the Bible.

I'm baring my soul to this forum in the hope that it may help some others out there, plus I want to keep a record of my own thought process for future analysis.


I like to view my 3 key points as hairline cracks in my own old-reality. I cannot explain two of those things by rational thought alone in my old-reality i.e. #1 and #3 didn't make any sense to me. #2 reflects more my personal suffering and probably isn't as relevant to others. My stubborn refusal to accept these things have led me to an incredibly bizarre conclusion. My new-reality rationally explains #1 and #3.


Dave, thanks for that interesting tidbit about the illuminati symbols on currency. I would suggest that you go out and get all the note denominations and try it yourself. Just reading about this off the internet won't do it, you need to physically have the notes in front of you so you can hold them. I have the notes laid out on my coffee table so I see them whenever I walk past, and have resolved to keep them as physical evidence before the dollar gets destroyed and decirculated.

Jeremy, I could elaborate but you wouldn't believe me and I'd lose whatever credibility I have left on this forum ;-) I can only suggest to you the following...

1. Read and understand George Orwell's 1984

2. Critically question absolutely everything you're told. That means everything in the media, especially in the mainstream i.e. TV, magazines, books, internet, documentaries, research papers, etc, etc, etc

3. Be curious, be interested, and never stop gathering as much relevant information as you can.

4. Think carefully about hairline cracks in your own reality. Do #1 and #3 make sense to you? Think long and hard, and do extensive research from all sources. If you see nothing wrong then I can't help you. Otherwise you're on the right path.

Cheers

My god, it suddenly occurs to me that I've become 'enlightened'.

Thinking about this, Orwell's 1984 takes on a whole new meaning.

Am I going crazy? Yes!

Dizzib,

C'mon, tell us more about the details.

Regarding 1984 I read it in high school. Doublespeak and doublethink and things like that. The chocolate ration has been increased to 100 grams per week (when actually it was 200 grams per week last week). In the end of the book Winston gets killed just after he suddenly has the moment of understanding and he loves Big Brother. I've never understood that part myself.

Some other video or article I just saw talked about the Wizard of Oz, by Baum. Those books are fun reading. There was a documentary about Baum, where he was played by John Ritter I think. He wrote the books for some little girl he liked. Everything is a parable on things in his own life. This thing I read recently talked about the yellow brick road was representing the gold standard. Emerald city was representing paper money -- greenbacks. The ruby slippers were originally silver. I did a google search just now and found this url: http://www.halcyon.com/piglet/Populism.htm which claims WOZ was a parable on populism.

Suppose people who are enlightened simply can't come out and tell the new truths and insights they know, because their book will be suppressed by the "censors". Censoring can occur not necessarily by government, but by publishers bowing to pressure by whatever powerful source who gets veto rights on what books they can publish. So they want to share their insights but they do it by writing in parables, sort of in code, to get them past the censors. Then they hope the public picks up on the code.

Orwell's Animal farm had characters directly from Soviet Russia. Trotsky was one of them.

Dizzib: One very important point, very, very important. In 1995 I had an event where I sort of went crazy for a while. I actually was bipolar for a while. It faded away. It's a very personal experience but I can share some details if interested, at the time it was the most amazing thing I'd ever experienced. I had thought almost I heard voices talking to me. The critical thing is don't stay awake too long. You need to get rest, otherwise you go insane. New insights can be very exciting, you can get caught up in them and be too infused with energy to stop and rest. But force yourself to get enough sleep. Sleep deprivation causes hallucinations -- it's a chemical thing I believe. My "bipolar" experience ended in some unhappy experiences, so it's good to avoid going off the deep end.

2nd recall that there is an automatic filtering process the brain does. If you've formed a hypothesis on some subject, there is an almost irrisistable tendency to only recall evidence that supports it and deny/forget evidence that contradicts it. A very pertinent case in point is how I can quote a lot of sources for articles that talk about how great silver is an investment, how cheap, how it's going to rise...but I tend to dismiss counter arguments. But I recall some people have written the industrial shortage of silver is a myth. I think that Antal Fekete of the "Gold Standard University" is one. In fact here's a url: http://www.kitco.com/ind/fekete/sep252007.html my point is that I "buy into" silver as an investment and don't want to hear anything that conflicts with this. But to be truly enlightened one must hear both sides and make an informed decision. Because I do have doubts, I don't invest 100% in silver. Anyway you must beward when you start forming theories about the web of deception, you must force yourself to admit counter arguments, and evidence to the contrary.

Anyway we're all very curious, can you share more details?

#1 I think I recall enough of Orwell's 1984 to get your point
#2 I think I'm doing this, 4 months ago I had no idea of the level of corruption the US has fallen into. I think I embraced the whole concept relatively quickly though.
#3 Yep, continuing to do that...
#4 I'm looking for hairline cracks but my reality seems quite solid. I haven't experienced anything out of the ordinary since 1995 or so.

Dave,

You have an open, intelligent, and inquisitive mind.

Reread my posts and think for yourself. You have all you need.

Cheers,
db

Dave,

Sorry to hear about your bipolar episode and thanks for your concern regarding my health. Be rest assured I am getting my standard 7-8 hours per night.

I appreciate your point regarding the brain and may need your help in keeping my sanity. To be honest I need to take a few days off and reflect on these experiences since I'm a bit overloaded right now. Then I'll revisit my hypothesis step by step with a high level of criticality. If I've made a mistake then I hope I'm strong enough to admit that and get back to my old reality :-)

Cheers,
db

Fooey! I want immediate gratification!

Anyway hang in there, I'll look forward to anything you care to share.

-Dave

btw I came across that last link *after* my enlightenment, not before i.e. I wasn't aware these things existed with such incredible beauty and complexity until yesterday. Yet another part of the mainstream media cover-up. This further strengthens my hypothesis.

Also as far as #3 goes, my $20 and $100 bills are series 1996 i.e. they were issued years before 911. Do try to get at least one series 1996 in your collection ... this should help you see through this deception.

Brilliant investor123! A week ago I wouldn't have believed any of this and would have dismissed it all as nonsense. Today it all makes a lot of sense. Thanks!
