Stay on it, man. That's what I'm talking about. Our son is 34..has two young kids. Redpilled but seriously apathetic. Completely dismisses everything the last year or so. He hides in video games and his wife hides on tiktok or whatever while the kids are just numbly going thru the motions. But everything in me says those are the ages...birth to 13 or so...who REALLY NEED these lessons. They're the ones who will inherit this fight and we will all be too tired or too dead by the time They're of age. The time is NOW to teach them how to think and live and feel, else they'll grow up apathetic too.
There's a lot of fatigue, I feel it myself at times and need to retreat for a bit time to time. I especially can't "cheerlead" constantly either and you get to a point where some people are as awake as their going to get and you need to worry more about yourself.
I get that. I'm an ol fella with a lot of years under my belt.
Here's something I think everyone needs to take account of: continuity along the current project (as opposed to the current thing) - aka the Great Awakening - requires building a capacity to travel on dual complementary tracks.
One of the tracks, often the first or predominant one, is the macro level interaction: getting involved on some level, whether national, local, or supra-national (the Great Awakening online is essentially supra-national). Getting involved, taking action because we feel its important and can have an impact.
The other track is an internal one, on the micro level. It's how we reflect and grow as individuals, families, communities (starting with the individual). It's about personal growth and transformation, and the key components of this are realization and building a relationship with the divine creator (however you understand that), and in that context, build your own connection with self, with those close to you, and build up quality of life.
So, there is an external awakening, where we wake up to what is actually going on in the real world, waking up from the Matrix as it were. But this also has to be complemented by the internal awakening, and transformation (and liberation, growth) within.
The process as a whole cannot proceed for long without BOTH of these elements. So when the Macro level (outside, interacting with and changing the world outside my door) becomes difficult, or slow, or heavy, then it's important to tap into the micro level, and build that up.
You are NOT powerless. If you have young children, you are a custodian of the future. How you interact with them, how you reflect on yourself and work on becoming a better parent, a better spouse, etc, will DIRECTLY impact on who they become, what resources they have to overcome the challenges in the world.
And remember: George Washington had a father and a mother. So did DJT. So did John Adams, Samuel Adams, and Martin Luther King. These champions did not emerge from nothingness. Who they became is traceable in large part to who their parents and forebears were. And also, each of them had moments and periods before they rose to greatness where they were challenged, felt powerless, and were forced to dig deep.
So dig deep my fren. The door to the power you seek is within, and in delving there, you have ALL the power.
It’s apathy.
I feel this way often because I feel powerless. So many problems and issues and we’re going 150 mph down the spiral.
What kicks me back into gear is the fact that I have very young children.
