brother I apprecilove your use of the world illusion cause this is exactly what this grip the system has on us is... its a illusion for real... has people on such a run around peopel dont even have the time for each other no more, parents aint got time for they kids, brothers aint got time for theisr sisters and vice versa, and the list goes on and on and on... we aint even got much time to say high to one another... we too busy running around chasing this and that all in a bid to mek ends meet... and mans gotta be chasing x-amounts of things all at the same time to keep head above water..... fortunately the is light and love within that illuminates from outta dark situation through the consciousness that filters into the pool of corruption we live in..... this light can only continue to shine brighter.... all is well the darkness shall pass over in jah good time .... wen jah rise all his enemies shall scatter!!!

Good question brother.., I'm starting to believe the fact that me just showing people and telling them of the truth that I've found isnt doing as well as I thought. Babylon has a grip on many people that I love. It's not something thats east to swollow down into your mind and allow your self to change. Awakening I guess is the best way to put it. I mean I knew how hard it was for me being that I was a child of babylon for such a long time to allow my self to awaken within. I still be believe that it can be done. But I still believe all will not allow themselves to be awakened.., But Jah lives within us. and he shines through. This is tough question. I sometime find myself wondering what my part is in this life circle of 360 degree ya know. But Jah know all things best. I just believe that whole heartedly., And do my part in this awakening.., babylon is shaking brother. did you see them trying to censor Youtube? Trying to keep INI from awakening others. But the back lash was tremendous! the people have spoken and they want the truth! The people refused to have censorship on youtube and babylon backed away! They are shaking and INI will keep them shakin! One love brother!! thanks for the great thread!! Jah bless!

i had the opportunity to march with these brave native americans three months ago. they had marched all the way from alcatraz to washington dc. all the way across the united states from cali to dc. they were recreating a march that was held in the seventies called the longest walk. this was the longest walk 2 led by dennis banks and the aim(american indian movement). i met up with them at malcolm x park in dc and marched the last mile with them to the white house. they were made up of hopi, sioux, apache, creek, and many many more tribes. there were buddhist monks and all types of races that marched the final leg. these warriors marched with war paint on their faces to the steps of the white house. ive been involved in several marches in different cities but never had i seen or heard anything like this.... i heard a man named barry carter from the saponi- occonechee tribe from sw virginia give one of the illest speeches ini have ever heard. he talked about the concept of authoritarian worldview versus the indigenous worldview. this is an excerpt from his website. ini think it is pertinent to this conversation. capitalism has mashed up this world. no ifs, ands, or buts about it. all of our streams and lakes and rivers are increasingly more and more toxic. just about every ecosystem in the world is in collapse. wars and rumors of more wars. big brother cameras everywhere. this shitstem is collapsing before our eyes. in china and russia just this week ini have heard newstories about how they want to manage our decline so its not too fast and destabilizes the world. we must return to an indigenous worldview. here is the excerpt from www.indigenousway.net

No matter what direction one looks today, the evidence is everywhere and overwhelming that our entire modern civilization is dying - global warming, peak oil, mass species extinction, climate change, terrorism, wars, gangs, ancient prophecies, poverty and death, ethic cleansing, genocides with millions being murdered, mass starvations, sickness, drugs, violence, over population, mass corruption, potential global pandemics, a polluted Mother Earth, school shootings, failing or broken government such as in the US and the former USSR, global organized crime, serial killers, failing schools, broken families, potential nuclear destruction. Most people see these problems as separate and independent from one another but they are not. They are all connected to the same root causes and are symptoms of a failing social system. The truth is that our modern civilization is near its death as detailed in the book Infinite Wealth: A New World of Collaboration and Abundance in the Knowledge Era.

There are many Native American prophecies that speak of the times that we are in--a time of purification and renewal. The problem is that we have taken the wrong path and our modern civilization is built on the wrong stuff for a peaceful, abundant and sustainable civilization. We have forgotten how to live on Earth. Our modern world is based upon the Authoritarian Worldview of Western Civilization. The Authoritarian System of control, fear, selfishness and fragmentation or analysis was brought to the rest of the world by way of Europe, starting perhaps 6,000 years ago. It has now grown to infect and dominate the entire globe and its attributes are now considered to be human nature - greed, selfishness, fear, violence, competition. This is the big lie. The only true human nature is LOVE!!!

There are at least two ways of knowing. Through the head and through the heart. The authoritarian system comes from the head--it is the way of the mind--analysis, fear and fragmentation. This is the foundation of Western Civilization. The Indigenous
