“Is everything a conspiracy? No, just the important stuff.” – Jeff Wells

by Zen Gardner

Waking up to the realities presented before us and even more importantly what they imply is a very profound and personal experience. Once we become aware we are living in a world that’s been deliberately fabricated in ways we never would have imagined and that even our own true nature is anything but what we’ve been told, there’s no turning back.

It may appear to be a lonely path at first, but we are by no means alone in this awakening. It is happening in all walks of life. Whether a banker or corporate employee wakes up to the scam being perpetrated on humanity and pulls out of the matrix, or a normal taxpaying worker realizes they’re contributing to a military industrial machine hell bent on control and world domination, we’re all the same.

Sometimes, for many of My children, frustration is like a plague. Whichever way you turn, you can’t seem to get out of the loop. Sometimes it seems, and it may well be, that something repeatedly blocks the flow of completion for you. You may feel that you are banging your head against a stone wall, and you can’t tolerate this another minute.

You seem to have no say. You rely on people who are not coming through as promised. You feel disregarded, disrespected, and your needs and needs of others who are important to you are being cast aside, as if your needs are unimportant. They are all- important to you.

This pattern is like a death knell to you as it keeps you immobilized. In life, either you move on, or you go nowhere. You have been treading water for way too long now. You are continually promised results, and every time you hope, and your hope is left dangling.

It does seem to you that, if only you had the wherewithal, your true needs would be filled. If you had the money, for instance, you believe you would not be so restricted. That is bad enough yet, worse, you feel powerless and humiliated, and you don’t know where to turn. Your powerlessness does not earn you respect from other quarters nor does your powerlessness help you with your own self-respect. It is like you are on a washing-machine cycle that keeps going around and around and doesn’t finish.   

Ultimately, you are the one who puts yourself and others through the wringer.

With wealth, dear ones, you would still be you. You would be you just the same but with money.

We cover a lot of fun and interesting house ideas here at Higher Perspective, but this one takes the cake for me.

Today’s houses are rarely made out of any reclaimed materials. Even though many buildings are demolished every year, most of the waste goes right to the dump. And about 40% of what ends up in the landfill every year is construction waste. Jeez! That’s a lot of waste. But a Uruguayan artist  who goes by Jaime had a great idea:

Build a house out of recycled materials.

Surrealist painter Octavio Ocampo is one of the most prolific artists widely known for his metamorphic painting technique. His versatile paintings provoke the viewer’s curiosity and can be interpreted in several ways when viewed from different distance or angle.

Ocampo was born on February 28^th, 1943 in Celaya, a city in the state of Guanajuato, Mexico. As a member of an artistic family, he started studying art from a very early age. While attending art school, Ocampo revealed his manual dexterity by making paper mache crafts. He created figures that were used in altars and floats in carnival parades and festivals. In high school, he mostly painted murals. That was when Ruth Rivera (daughter of artist Diego Rivera) and Maria Luisa Mendoza encouraged him to attend the National Fine Art Institute...

In a world where the majority of people are so conditioned by an unhealthy culture that they cannot even fathom equality or the eradication of poverty, nor even perceive them as socially viable, and merely write them off as “it’s just the way things are,” it helps to have some tactics to fall back on in order to prevent our slipping back into our old ignorant ways. As the majority of the world sleeps, we, the courageously awake, must discover new ways to remain diligent. Here are four powerful (and fun) ways to remain awake while the rest of the world sleeps.
