		<description>Great Comment...

Any documentary that has half-truths raises more questions than answers...

Maybe the world elite is preparing us for a staged alien invasion...where apparently...they will decide to become better human beings under a fabricated new world order?

How about that for a conspiracy theory lol...</description>

		<description>Dear Paul
Bravo, You have put in precise yet concise words what I think. And like Jesse, I wish to pass it around. Merci beaucoup.

		<description>If I were to condense the effects of our present world paradigm and the possible paradigm for a new humanity, I would say this:  

 All actions thus far taken by individuals, groups and nations correlate to a worldview of You OR Me.  A shift to a worldview of You AND me  would result in actions that correlate with that worldview... and the assumptions of separation and scarcity would shift to unity, compassion and sufficiency.</description>

		<description>Freedom is a feeling we will ALL realise together, when it becomes obvious to ALL that there is no impediment to our personal survival, or restraint on our personal fulfilment. Once this truth is realised, why would anyone respond in any other way than feeling privileged to help others to their own fulfilment.

Everything else is just the mechanics of clearing the path.</description>

		<description>So well said...Thank you for so eloquently stating what I was churning about inside. Separation is the issue! This is sooo true..I prefer to think of things in these terms that you stated above, rather than the illuminati/ the conspiracy theory feels so disheartening, unreachable unchangeable. The simple recognition that we are one is available to everyone, and totally doable!  So glad you are here with us! </description>

		<description>It is very difficult, when sick and hungry, to consciously put effort into changing our mindsets.  Conscious awareness is part of an evolutionary as well as personal process. Many have awakened with the help of being healthy, well fed and have a roof already over ourheads. Non-violent non-compliance with those who have sought to take these fundamental needs away from all of us and have already brought about devastation to human bodies and minds around the world is important, to gain back our health, feed our bodies and then the healthy brain can have the deeper thoughts of changing and creating a new mindset.  The power elite and desire for world domination were created by powerful beings that are far beyond the average persons ability to comprehend, even your own.  Non-compliance with the status quo is the only way to begin to break the bonds of their control.  Humanity has evolvedt o this point and now in the process of a great evolutionary leap which has helped us to become aware of these beings, their agenda and how they have had a hand in influencing every aspect of our lives, but they could not stop evolution.</description>

		<description>The fact is - that there is an underlying &#039;PRINCIPLE&#039; of everything - when understood, even as a small portion , it reveals to the &#039;seeker&#039; answers in whatever field it is applied.
It is &#039;universal&#039; as is mathematics. It cannot be &#039;used up&#039; nor, &#039;misapplied&#039;.
Within all structures of society there are many who want to exert control, consider using the term &#039;law enforcement&#039;, rather &#039;police&#039;  by using &#039;law enforcement&#039; the consciousness shifts from thinking about &#039;protect and serve&#039; archetype, to one strictly on the lookout for &#039;transgressors of the law&#039; - so police will change their behavior, and they have!
This is but simple example.
We are all at a different &#039;level&#039; in our understanding of &#039;truth and reality&#039;, as are children in a school classroom - we each, for whatever reason have different &#039;gifts and talents&#039; that lead us to where we go in life, and yet this life as we seem to perceive it, it so small in comparison to infinity, or even the millions of years that many believe the Earth has existed, that is seems rather insignificant - so therefore, we must think in terms of our own EDC - Evolutionary Development of Consciousness - that is all we can be truly responsible for.
So, what is left for any of us to do is to connect with each other honestly, adhering to seeking and doing that which is &#039;good for all&#039; - and keeping an open mind so that the answers will come as needed.
In Truth ,

		<description>I also found the analogy of the metamorphosis of a caterpillar to be the most compelling and compassionate moment of the film. To their credit, the Gambles do emphasize nonviolence, peaceful transformation, and a hopeful future. The suppression of free energy is criminal, however. I have heard secondhand of researchers whose labs have been shut down and who have been thrown in jail on slim premises (not having a proper permit, for example)... and here&#039;s the story I&#039;ve heard: They now realize that there is safety in numbers. When free energy is finally viably created, they will rent a football stadium and introduce thousands of people to the devices at the same time. Be sure to be there!

		<description>I like your review of Thrive.  Blaming people is not the solution.  The solution is changing the system - a difficult undertaking.  All people are part of the system whether you are the 1% or 99%.  We have &quot;bought in&quot; to the colonization system on a micro level (personal relationships) and on a macro level (organizational and community level).  We need to ask ourselves, what is a citizen?  What does a citizen look like in your neighborhood, your town, your country, your world?  Who is your neighbor? And do you have colonizing or value adding thoughts about your neighbor?</description>
