Something is happening in the world right now, and pretending we don't feel it is no longer possible. Power is becoming louder, and the direction no longer feels grounded in humanity. People are struggling to make sense of what they are witnessing, and for many of us the hardest part is not only what is happening, it is that we no longer know what to believe. This is not accidental. The last several years have taught us all an important, and uncomfortable lesson about confusion. It is one of the most effective tools of control. The stories that many of us were raised on, about fairness, protection, truth, and who power actually serves, have stopped matching what we are watching in real time. We are now noticing the gap between narrative and reality. We are recognising how deeply shaped we have all been by the systems that never had our best interests at heart. We are fed information that keeps us distracted, divided, and dependent, and once you see it, you cannot unsee it. We have watched how quickly fear can override instinct, how easily information can be shaped, sold, and enforced. How communities can turn on one another when people become overwhelmed, when they become scared. When they begin to listen to voices outside of themselves, instead of their own inner knowing. Divide and conquer, this is not new. It is ancient. Every empire has relied on it. You keep people fighting each other so they will never look up. Pt1
