Are we playing into the hands of a system that relies on communicative discord and investment in the belief that to achieve power, we must preside over something or someone else?

Do not be fooled into thinking you are not in control. Master your mind, your emotions and your communication, and you will be…

Self-Trust, Self-Responsibility and the Need for Righteous Action in Testing Times

Make no mistake, we are being subjected to psychological warfare. This is a war on our consciousness, so it’s little wonder we are confused.
