In the Beginning
2009, America. Weakened by decades of greed and a lust for power by those who can even conceive of those elements the majority of Americans have been beaten down. Now many turn on each other. Full of fear and the tales of doomsday many silently wait for a clock that they can only feel ticking down to zero the final stages of a world contemplating its demise. That’s what we have become, after decades of motivation by fear at the hands of those who have sought to enslave us through fear. While they play their games of power, domination, and final gambits for all or nothing. Most of us got nothing, or close to it.
Our numbness may be our salvation. Powerful stories of why we should be afraid finally wearing thin, finally reaching its limit. Now after all to understand how less has freed many and letting go has put us in perspective. One in six-billion. It’s hard to lay blame as there is plenty to go around. Politics, religion, cultural superstition, from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan to the Mayan calendar to the Apocalypse, even cancer or other illnesses born out of television advertising. We have sucked it all in and filled the darker recesses of our minds with it. All of it to motivate, all of it affording someone power over us.
Now we come here is hash it out. To figure out the storm and find some refuge from the mind games that unify the Internet. At least now we have become seekers. Many still believing but many ready to cast off the cloak of fear that has falsely activated so many until now.
So is dedicated this site. To the seekers of truth. To the end of false manipulation. To the beginning of something different, even if it is that we don‘t know what lies ahead. Yet, it seems better than to carry the weight of negative energy that drags behind each of us, in one way or other. The reassessment that happens here may change little, or may change a lot. It all depends on how deep the fear goes and ultimately how much it really matters. As long as it’s your fear and not someone else’s and as long as you accept it and not find it imposed by some other power for another motivation. So, we launch this site, and we shall walk as far as it takes us and look to a future as much as it can illuminate it for us. But, as important as the distance is the reality that is will be a path people walk together and seek out the truth, whatever it may be, and wherever it happens to be found.
So, good reading to the judges of the site and good hunting to the seekers of the truth. We will be listening and writing and waiting.
