Waking Up From The Matrix
Source: Lotus Guide, article by Rahasya Poe
Is it just me or are there others out there who have a difficult time walking the fine line between being positive and at the same time keeping an eye on the reality that we find ourselves in.
As we continue this journey of what I see as a global awakening, it may be very important for some of us to “hold the light” and maintain a vision of a better world, so I have no problem with that. But at the same time it may be just as important, if not a little more so, that there are people who are of the “spiritual warrior” mind-set who are willing to keep an eye on and put the light of consciousness on what could be called the “Darkness” that seems to be in control of our reality. As Edmond Burke once said, “All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”
We are living through the greatest transformation of consciousness in human history, so it’s important to be able to dance with this transition because we are entering uncharted territory. To do this, we must see behind the curtain and realize that it’s a group of angry and scared old men trying desperately to hold on to a worldview that is crumbling before their eyes.
What we need to watch out for is how we use our words and how their definitions have been changed behind that curtain. For instance, take the term conspiracy theory. The original definition was, “A belief that some covert but influential organization is responsible for a circumstance or event.” But somehow it has taken on a new meaning. The real conspiracy is how the term conspiracy theory has been linked to terms such as fantasy and fiction and the people who bring up a conspiracy are labeled as paranoid and as crazy, out-of-touch people.
Then you have the term skeptic, which used to be anyone who was thinking rationally and pointing out something that needed to be clarified. Now, being a skeptic has almost become a pathological state of mind with some people, and it’s a very effective tool for the powers that be to use to protect their lies through the media.
Those were only a couple of terms and I discuss them to show how we need to be more conscious of how we are being manipulated and controlled by the use of words and ideas. What is going on is very dangerous because it marginalizes very important information and places it in the fringe category.
Here Are Some Examples
· In reference to 9/11, how many people know that there was another investigation that came to different conclusions than the original 911 Truth Commission did? What was once an absurd “conspiracy theory” is slowly becoming a conspiracy fact. And how does a commercial airliner fit through a 19-foot hole at the Pentagon? When questions like this start being answered honestly, it will wake up a lot of people who are desperately trying to stay asleep.
· Look further back in history and think about how many lives were lost in the Vietnam war because we were told that we were attacked in the Gulf of Tonkin. Or more recently, the weapons of mass destruction and Iraq. I was called a conspiracy theorist in 1968 as I demonstrated on campus and the same thing happened when I spoke about the WMD and Iraq.
· The CIA and drug running story finally made the news back in 1993. This took years of people being labeled as conspiracy theorists to finally come out.
· How about the business plot that involved a group of wealthy businessmen and Chase Bank, GM, Standard Oil, the DuPont family, Goodyear, and the father and grandfather of two of our presidents, Prescott Bush. In 1933 they tried to overthrow our government and would have probably done so if it weren’t for one honest American who most of us have never heard of, Major General Smedley Butler. This and the fact that Prescott Bush was charged with laundering Nazi money was hidden from the public quite effectively.
Obviously, the complete list is far too large to include in this article but here’s my point … what is it now that is being marginalized into a fringe group of conspiracy theories that will eventually see the light of day, when maybe it is too late? The most dangerous ones I can see now is the truth about the health dangers connected with GMO foods, the continued radiation from Fukushima, and geoengineering and chemtrails.
We recently had in Chico a guest speaker, Guy McPherson, who is, or at least was, a well-respected climate change researcher (it’s illegal to use the term climate change in Florida now by the way). If you attended the talk you almost had to feel sorry for the guy, but he was not prepared for the well-informed citizenry we have here in Chico and Grass Valley/Nevada City. He “believes” (something a researcher or scientist should never do—you either know or you don’t know) that geoengineering isn’t happening and he says there’s not enough evidence to say that chemtrails exist.
What was behind his denial? I have no idea, but as I told him, geoengineering and chemtrails are not religions, so saying you don’t believe in them seems a bit unprofessional for a researcher. But this is a good example of the power that the establishment has over us; it can make even the smartest of us go into denial for fear of being relegated to the conspiracy theory group. Fortunately, Dane Wigington from GeoengineeringWatch.com was there to ask a few important questions, questions that were never answered, by the way.
Our world is in peril, whether you “believe” it or not, and we are all in this together. This is a fact. However, I do have a personal belief that we are riding on the cusp of something amazing, a transformation of human consciousness from fear-based individuality to a compassionate collective consciousness. Why do I believe this? Because I can feel it happening to me and I see it in others. I know … you may be saying that I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one, and I hope someday you’ll join us … and the world will be as ONE.

HELP ME. I WANT TO WAKE UP. I KNOW THIS ISN'T REAL. HOW DO I WAKE UP? HELP. I CANNOT TAKE IT ANY LONGER. I NEED TO WAKE UP. I MUST WAKE UP. HELP ME WAKE UP.
Hello Cori, I remember you, coming all the way from AZ…It's too bad you couldn't have joined Dane in Redding last night, over 1,000 concerned people showed up from every walk of life. Rahasya
P.S. Here's my most recent article on the corporate media and its dangers http://www.lotusguide.com/disinformation-and-misinformation/
I really think we need to climb out of this Rabbit Hole as fast as possible because we no longer have the time to see how bad things can get. We need to stop polluting so the earth, oceans and atmosphere can do what it's done for hundreds of millions of years. The problem, as I see it, is that we think we are far more intelligent than we are and end up making things worse. I don't know what the solution is but I do know we need to get out of the way and do what we can to reduce the population humanely…if we don't 'they' will, and it won't be humanely. Will we do it? I don't know. Rahasya Poe
I believe this too, Rahasya, what we think is what we create so we can all create light and help people to awaken to what is going on.
Hello Barbara, after attending Dane's Redding event last night and seeing 1,000 people demanding to know the truth, it encourages me to keep on writing in my magazine, the Lotus Guide, in hope's that someday we will all wake up…in time. Take care, Rahasya
Rahasya Poe,
Thank you for writing this piece, highlighting the many aspects that we as activists find ourselves confronted with, or navigate on a daily basis. Regarding the stance one takes, I studied and did my best to practice the manifestation of positive thoughts, creation, expectation… I gave it my sincere attention for a period of years, attended workshops, traveled to conferences… Things changed for me when I realized that (in my opinion) it can be another form of putting your head down, and not recognizing your power and purpose. Now, I feel it's necessary to have "warriors" for the 'good' who are willing to look at, and speak to, the difficult and ugly or wrong things that are occurring in this world we share. Unless we face the dark and call it out, it's impossible to know where to direct our energy for the betterment of all. There is a noble and honorable purpose and goal to this action. It's not at all intended to create more discord, or angst. It's intended to stand for what's right and truth. It's loving.
The only thing that makes sense to me on the deepest level is – this period we've agreed to be here for, is the ultimate test of our will and purpose. I feel we have spent lifetimes gathering the tools and wisdom needed to take these issues on, and right the wrongs as they exist and unfold in real time. We have a choice. Use our abilities to influence and guide the continuance of our ability to live here fairly, compassionately and respectfully, or choose to disregard what we know, take a passive stance, and fail to exercise our purpose. The later will ensure an outcome that ends life on Earth. In the case of geoengineering, it's ill effects are front and center every day, and they are rapidly worsening. At a certain point, not far off, the damage and trajectory will be irreversible. This is… it. Canaries are dead and dying, right and left. I don't know if we'll succeed, but I chose to be one who tries to do my very best. My heart is warmed everyday working alongside you and many others who choose to do the same. In many respects it feels like we traversed this lifetime feeling solo, or different from most. Now… it's obvious the tribe is coming back together. Thank you for what you've done, and continue to do.
*I met you briefly after the Guy M. presentation in Chico. I traveled to attend from Arizona. You summed that one up well, and I'm in full agreement.
