Do you believe in the concept of a great revealing? 

A time when the knowledge within humanity grows exponentially, when people’s awareness expands, when secrets can no longer remain secret, when the population is no longer susceptible to nefarious schemes, and underhand tactics?

I like the idea. 

I could definitely get onboard with a time when people begin to grow into the version of themselves that they were always meant to be, rather than the shells of what could have been. 

Do you believe in that?

The Gnostics certainly did. 

They believed that humanity will ultimately transcend ignorance through a profound awakening of inner truth.

But this belief isn’t just reserved for the so-called new age, or mystical thinkers. 

In the Bible, the Book of Daniel predicts a time when human understanding will dramatically increase or hidden truths will be uncovered. 

Daniel 12:4 says “But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.”

Many scholars believe this is talking about the end times, but the end of what?

The world? Are we to be engulfed as the planet erupts, and cracks into a million pieces, or is the end merely referring to an era? An age?

The end of the world as we know it? Maybe that wouldn’t be such a bad thing, especially if the end of the world as we know it comes with increased knowledge of what and who we all are, and what this is all about. 

Maybe that is what the great awakening, that we hear so much about, really is. 

The vision in Daniel 12:4 of people ‘running to and fro’ creates an image of chaos, of disorder, of mass upheaval. 

I think we’re already on that road, and no one seems to be able to locate the brakes, nor desire to. But maybe that’s the point?

“It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge.”. 

It was Albert Einstein who said that, and I can guarantee without even meeting you, or knowing your back story, who your greatest teacher was. 

Sure you may say something like “Mrs Wood, primary school”.

I had a Mrs Wood in primary school, she was lovely, but it won’t be her. 

It will be life. 

It will be your experience. 

It will be what you were put through, good, bad, and indifferent, that was your greatest teacher. 

And so as we look around ourselves right now, pretty much to a man, woman, and child, no one is having a good time. 

There are varying degrees of course, and it is important to remember that no matter what is going on, there will almost certainly be someone more worse off, in more peril, in more internal or external strife, than yourself. 

But that struggle might just be what awakens the lion. 

“The wound is the place where the Light enters you.” — Rumi – As in the Sufi mystic, not the main character from K Pop Demon Hunters. 

“There are thousands of sparks of light within us that only the darkest nights can awaken.” — John O’Donohue

Even Charles Dickens got in on the theme in Great Expectations – “Suffering has been stronger than all other teaching, and has taught me to understand what your heart used to be. I have been bent and broken, but – I hope – into a better shape.”

There are so many quotes along these lines because, in my humble opinion, they are speaking the truth. 

Yes, things are hard right now. We are facing war, economic crisis, food shortages, fuel shortages, rising costs of everything, you name it, they are throwing it at us. 

But with every metaphorical and literal grenade that gets thrown at humanity, another portion awakens. 

And it might not feel like it at times but take it from a man that spent his childhood watching his father shouting into an abyss, pleading into an empty auditorium, writing warnings onto paper that very few people had the inclination to read, let alone heed. 

There are more people awake today, than there were yesterday, but less people than there will be tomorrow. 

Every failed false flag and every bodge job psyop leads another percentage of humanity down the rabbit hole of enlightenment. 

The world is not what we were told it was, WE are not who we were told we were, and that realisation, that mind blowing revelation that throws into question everything we ever believed to be certain, will be difficult for some to comprehend, nevermind navigate. 

That is why, of all the quotes I’ve probably butchered today, this one is the most important

The author is unknown, but it reads ““An awakening usually comes with a kind of breakdown first. You have to lose who you thought you were to become who you truly are.””

When many people learn the true realities of this place, of all its psychological, spiritual and political trauma they will not be grateful for that knowledge, not at first. 

They will attempt to repel it, to deny it, to fight back against those that are trying to assist the awakening. 

But these people do not need our anger and impatience, they need our understanding, our empathy and our humanity.

Because you may well be one hundred rungs up the ladder now, with a wider, more HD view of this place, but none of us started out there, 

We all had to take that first step on to the ladder, and as this world continues to spiral into chaos, there are going to be a lot more people taking that first step every single day.

Welcome them, because we’re going to need them.
