Divide and Bonkers! Divide and Bonkers! Divide and Bonkers! Divide and Bonkers!
So, just what the heck is going on in our world? Every day seems to bring a new level of crazy and just this last week, the opening ceremony of the Olympics has taken millions to a new level of incredulity. Some days I sit back and observe, some days I feel compelled to take action and do something about it.
People’s fuses are getting shorter and in the world of social media, tolerance levels are diminishing to almost zero point. As an old codger, I have seen the Internet descend into a cesspit of shameless slander, rudeness, disrespect, lack of compassion, vile language and intention, baseless accusations and blatant ‘fakery’ but above all, it has become a tool for creating division!
With CGI and AI based image and text manipulation, one cannot trust the Internet as any source of truth. We must begin to learn that the only source of truth we can trust, comes from within.
As I browsed the Internet one day, I literally witnessed history being changed and it reminded me of Winston Smith. Who’s he you might ask? He was the central character in a very famous book and his job was to erase or alter text and images previously published in books and the media and replace them with a new version of history in line with the preference of the sinister ruling political party of the time. In short it was censorship and brainwashing.
The book was called “Nineteen Eighty Four,” written by George Orwell. It’s a thoroughly depressing read but what is fascinating about it is the more you get into the book, you will realise that you are reading about our society as it stands today and what is likely to be coming up in the future. In my opinion, it is the blueprint which reveals the ultimate plans for political control over the human race and it is happening right now.
Another example of this willful manipulation only occurred to me recently. While I was scrolling through Instagram, I suddenly realised that the ‘bots’ are placing the most ridiculous and inflammatory comments at the top of the comments feeds. From there it becomes open season and the bickering and back-biting ensues, revealing every aspect of base human behaviour.
The ‘shield’ of the Internet is a very powerful tool and it is being used to divide us. Whilst sitting in comfort behind this shield, people are at liberty to post shocking images and make hurtful and insensitive comments, however, if a comment is made that does not fit the social media providers “community standards,” it is removed!
“Community standards” or is it “double standards?”
If people were to meet each other in the street, would they speak like they do on social media? I would hope not but the more conversations I have with corporate representatives, I’m seeing more and more of an attitude of indifference, ignorance and rudeness coming out in people along with a willingness to argue.

Is it not yet obvious that we are being dictated to by corporations and politicians as to how they want us to live our lives? As a species, how much longer are we going to allow ourselves to descend even further into this madness? Is there any shred of hope that we might just one day, all pull together and say “no” to these soul-less entities? The answer lies in a conundrum, both very simple but very difficult! The good news is that in the grand scheme of the spiritual awakening, we are nearly there but not just yet.
The awakening has to run its course and I’ve said it many times that there are still people on this Earth who have yet to have their light bulb moment. Every day another wakes up and another and so on… but we have to reach a critical mass, a point where where we can confidently put aside our fear of illusory false authority and take back our power from those who abuse it.
There are still many people who do not yet see the tyranny in the corporate-political world. People have said to me, “Jonathan you ought to run as politician.” In truth I would never associate myself with this system but for a time, the world does need people to stand up and speak out. The only issue is when one stands up, they become the target. If we all stand up, we cannot all be picked off by the systems ‘snipers.’
The strain on everyone living through these times is showing. There is hope though and it is beginning to happen. More and more people are beginning to see the doorway to a better world. If you don’t believe me, look around and observe. Division and fear are the greatest weapons used by the system, the weapons of the people are love, compassion, kindness and togetherness and once we begin to exercise these things en-masse, the change will come.
I put this question to everyone…
…who is it who creates the world’s problems, the wars, the debt, the strife and untold misery? Is it you and I?
No, it is the system. Why are we focusing our derision on each other when we should be putting our energies into healing the failing system we live in?
It is now time to realise that we are all being manipulated to the nth degree! We need to divert our attention away from bickering with each other and instead focus on those who are creating this miserable, crazy world. We cannot achieve our emancipation from tyranny with guns, bombs and violence, that is their way. Those who work to uphold the wishes of the tyrants, are now being given a choice, to either be with the people or be on the wrong side of history.
Why is it that the media is constantly filled with politics? It is because the media is the only “voice” the tyrant has. Without the media voice, we would no longer hear or see them spouting their contempt on humanity. They are nothing but playground bullies and any good parent will tell their children to ignore the bullies. Modern day corporate-politics does not emanate from loving spirit, compassion, kindness and togetherness. It is based on greed, control and power and is anti-human, anti-spirit.
To begin to change our world, all we have to do is wake up to the age old “divide and conquer” tactics, be strong together, stand together, say “no” to the demands of tyrants, turn around, walk away and ignore them. Tyrants – Zero power. People – Full power.
Simple but seemingly difficult! Let the building of the new world begin.

“Resolve to serve no more, and you are at once freed. I do not ask that you place hands upon the tyrant to topple him over, but simply that you support him no longer; then you will behold him, like a great Colossus whose pedestal has been pulled away, fall of his own weight and break into pieces?”
– ‘The Politics of Obedience: The Discourse of Voluntary Servitude’ by Étienne de La Boétie
The problem is spiritual, which cannot be solved by political, economical or any other action in the world or things of the world, so it requires spiritual solutions. The external manifestations of this, state of the ‘world’, is due to the internal state of many of man, and womankind. Most wish to remain ‘children’ and to avoid self-responsibility, which cannot be done in reality, as ultimately each man, or woman, is responsible for themselves.
Life got good, those of man, and womankind, fell asleep, they did forget that freedom has to be fought for every generation as there are always those willing to take it from you. They did even forget that they are man, and woman, creations of all creation, and diminished themselves by taking titles such as mother, father, parents (pair-rents – pair that rents), teacher, doctor, farmer, and so on. Titles do diminish the status from that of a man, or woman, and come with duties and obligations.
**“The fundamental realities of man and woman are not material and biological, but energetic and magical. Women are, in energetic and magical terms, creatures of the Moon, while men are creatures of the Sun.” So man, and woman, possess magical polarity, and as each becomes more like the other that magic is lost.
Whilst there is the ‘they’ the ‘them, the psychopaths/elite/those seeking power, though in reality there is no ‘they’ or ‘them’, there are only those of man, and womankind, then there are demonic forces, manipulations, indoctrinations, propaganda throughout society in all facets, to quote from the film V for Vendetta:
“How did this happen? Who’s to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you’re looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror. I know why you did it. I know you were afraid. Who wouldn’t be? War, terror, disease. There were a myriad of problems which conspired to corrupt your reason and rob you of your common sense. Fear got the best of you, and in your panic you turned to the now high chancellor, Adam Sutler [Caesar}. He promised you order, he promised you peace, and all he demanded in return was your silent, obedient consent.”
Many even in the so-called ‘awake’ communities are still pointing externally to the ‘they’ or ‘them’, however it starts and ends with each of us, looking at ourselves, we are to blame. We all have to take a look in the mirror, and accept responsibility for our part/s, our wilful ignorance, and so on that did allow it all. ‘Know Thyself’. Self-responsibility is the way forward, working on ourselves and our uniqueness, doing what you, are here to do, and allowing others of man, and womankind, to do the same, looking upward and climbing the mountain back to God – by God I, do not mean religion, I mean, the one from which we became the many, and to which we will return, that is all we can and should control. You, are the centre of your universe. Change the internal, and the external will follow.
I have learnt that I, have a lot to learn and the path is not a straight line. It is a different path for each of us. It is not a formula of instant results, do x then y, nor does any of it happen on a fixed, linear timeline. The ‘results’, ‘rush to the finish line’ and always climbing higher, is a body-mind-feelings, material realm thing, as is linear time. We go up the ladder, and down the ladder, we go forward, and we go backwards, one step towards the path may be all we take in a lifetime, or none at all. It requires thought, emotions and action or will. It is all experience and learning for our souls, so no time is wasted, and it is all in the blink of an eye to God and our souls.
So it is never too late to learn, to take a step towards the path of light. It is ultimately what we all have to do, to return to God, not on a linear timeline.
