What we call Reality is a hall of mirrors. It reflects itself back and forth and builds up a consensus.
People do the same thing. They confirm with one another that the reality they believe is real is, in fact, real.
And having established that, they live out their lives and make the best of it.
But what happens if you defect? What happens if you’re not satisfied to live out the rest of your life inside the space of what everyone assumes is real?
More to the point, what happens if you’re not satisfied to live out the rest of your life inside the space of what YOU assume is real?
This is where a lot of people get off the train. They assert, with great assurance, that what they have discovered is the ultimate frontier. They’ve broken through the illusion. They’ve found out who is running the show from behind the curtain.
And with those discoveries in their pocket, they will live out their lives, confident in the knowledge that they can’t be fooled. They’ve won the prize.
Actually, peering behind the curtain and seeing what’s there is step one. The journey has barely begun.
No matter what degree of truth one has found, living out the rest of a life in that truth is going to be disappointing. It’s eventually going to be boring. It’s eventually going to be insufferable.
You want to lift that curtain, and you should. You should find out everything you can about who and what is behind it, and how they operate. But how long before you stop patting yourself on the back?
How long before you decide to create, with great passion and commitment, your own reality, the one you profoundly desire?
The process of creating reality never ends. It’s the ongoing voyage. It’s the reason things become new. It’s the reason boredom loses. It’s the reason you have no end. It’s the reason you can’t be stopped.
It’s the means by which you don’t decline. It’s the means by which you keep imagining something you haven’t imagined before.
It’s the reason you don’t “live out your life.”
It’s the reason “living out your life” seems about the worst thing you can do.
No excuses will suffice to rationalize staying in one place. No complaints will make you feel better. No “ultimate” space or time is good enough, as it is, to convince you that you should just play out the string inside it.
We are witnessing tech giants—Google, Facebook, You Tube, Twitter—hiding and de-listing news they deem “fake.” On one level, this is an obvious attempt to control political content. But on a much deeper level, this is an effort to shore up THEIR REALITY. They want to consolidate their Army of believers and expand its ranks. Outsiders and their ideas and analyses are a threat.
Outsiders, heaven forbid, might decide to launch other creative realities that bleed into the consensus and dissolve it.
The independent and free individual mind has its own immune system. It responds when it detects the intrusion of collectivist concoctions.
“Alert! Fake collective reality is showing up. Take action. Resist. Reject.”
Yes, but then?
The individual then has the power to invent his own future, according to his own vision. This is where the journey really gets interesting.
This is where new space and new time emerge, and the space of consensus shrinks and withers.
This is where the Army of Reality has no answer.
Each individual has his own invention of reality—a project and an enterprise that spills over the conventional boundaries.
Each enterprise is quite different. Each approach is quite different.
What’s similar is the available energy for the work.
Where does that energy come from?
It comes from the individual himself.
When imagination and the creative impulse are unleashed, energy appears in large quantities. New and fresh energy.
Frontier energy.
Cutting-edge energy that quite naturally and automatically begins to shred Army of Reality energy.
Life renews. Life begins again.
The fabric of old limiting ideas falls apart, and the individual steps out on to a unique launching platform.
His own.
This is the voyage that can never be stopped.
Because it doesn’t depend on the fake news and fake consensus and the fake illusion of power of The Group.

EVEN THOUGH RAPPAPORT AND I DONT SEE EYE TO EYE AT TIMES, HE JUST “EARNED A FEATHER” WITH THIS WRITING……..
“This is where a lot of people get off the train. They assert, with great assurance, that what they have discovered is the ultimate frontier. They’ve broken through the illusion. They’ve found out who is running the show from behind the curtain.”
Merely KNOWING is not enough.
In any SENSIBLE REALITY… knowers must become ‘showers’ (not like rain) to the rest of the asleep.
Otherwise, that knowledge is wasted.
“Actually, peering behind the curtain and seeing what’s there is step one. The journey has barely begun.”
Definitely unchallenged.
“You want to lift that curtain, and you should. You should find out everything you can about who and what is behind it, and how they operate.”
BINGO!!!
The story of my life for the last decade.
“But how long before you stop patting yourself on the back?”
When you’ve lost all of your family & friends by trying to wake them up… and still stay the course by trying to wake up strangers that you meet.
‘When you’ve lost all of your family & friends by trying to wake them up… and still stay the course by trying to wake up strangers that you meet.’ ……..something tells me that describes most of us here at the Trenches
Some more so than others, mary.
I’m pretty sure Henry’s sons all believe what he’s told them, and are prepared accordingly.
I actually was able to wake up a handful of my friends in L.A. before I bailed, but not nearly as many as I had hoped for… very few, in fact.
Absolute truth is a scary thing for most sheeple.
Not me. I see nothing but decent caring friends and the people I talk to listen. The trick is come in the back door instead of trying to crash through the front. That way they think they figured it out while they were having a conversation with you. Let it look like an accident with your eyes all agape as they believe they just taught you something important.
Not to sound special or anything, but I’ve always found how you get into a conversation is by suggesting things to people that they already know and pretending confusion yourself. People naturally want to help you and you let them help you by throwing in the right phrases at the right moment.
Our young people are smart in their way, but we old people are cunning in our way. 😉
WHEN JILL AND I FIRST MET, THERE WAS A YOUNG BLACK MAN THAT LIVED NEXT DOOR NAMED “TONY”. HE WAS IN HIS MID 20’S I STRUCK UP THE CONVERSATION ONCE WHILE I WAS WORKING ON AN RC HELICOPTER ABOUT WHAT HE THOUGHT HAS HAPPENED TO OUR GOVERNMENT. HE DID GREAT. HE WENT DOWN THROUGH THE SECRET SOCIETIES, TO THE ILLUMINATI, ETC., BUT HE NEVER MENTIONED THE KHAZRS, THE TALMUD, THE ZOHAR, OR KABBALAH, OR THE JEW. THIS WAS DURING THE TIME OF ME TEACHING JILL THE GOSPEL, SO, I GOT HIM INVOLVED IN THOSE LESSONS. IT MADE FOR INTERESTING CONVERSATION, AND HENRY IS RIGHT. AMERICAS CHILDREN ARE NOT THAT DUMB….ESPECIALLY IF YOU ALLOW THEM LATITUDE……….CONCERNING EVIL…….JUST THROW IT OUT THERE….”WHO BENEFITS?”….. YUNGUNS LOVE TO HAVE SOMEONE LISTEN TO THEIR OPINIONS….. JUST ADD DROPLETS OF TRUTH…. THEY WILL GENERALLY GET IT…..
One main message I take from this is “sometimes you will absolutely have to stand alone.” It might not be an earth-shaking thing, but it’s just something you happen to deeply believe and others do not.
Years ago I heard that people-pleasing was a coward’s game. I saw the coward inside myself and had to stop that game. I will say that the only one who keeps me from my dreams is me, myself, and I. Doesn’t mean I have a perfect world around me, but in the imperfection I’m drivin’ my own boat.
Jon is such a brilliant writer. What could he think when he reads here as we ruthlessly expose the crimes of his tribe? Often I’ve wanted him to bust forth and join the noble few breakaways who’ve done just that. Otherwise, it’s just great writing and great philosophy without support in The Trench. I think that, like God, The Bill of Rights is no respecter or persons.
Yep, sometimes you jus’ gotta stand alone.
