Thank you for your reply. I considered this, but that would be a long post.

I guess, to sum it up, it makes sense to say that I have a picture in my mind of the deception, how deep it goes and who might be behind it - but to me, this is less important that the simple recognition that we are being lied to on so many levels.

Suffice it to say that when I express opinions upon this matter, it tends to lead to division - something that we have plenty of already. I would prefer to focus on what common ground we can all stand on, and work toward a better future. There is no knight in shinning armor coming to save us, it is purely up to us.

I am convinced that we, as a species, have been manipulated and sold a reality which does not serve our interests. I also have a deep sense that we have had the divinity literally squashed out of us, and that most of what I learnt and held to be "true" has turned out to be an inversion of the truth. This, upon further inspection, seems to be the MO of evil, call it satanism. Perhaps that is the way to describe the force behind the deception.

Perhaps you have some thoughts on the matter? Would love to hear your perspective.

Kindly,

Wm
