I wouldn't mind having something planted permanently in my arm, that would identify me.

In the end, everybody will be locked into a monitored control grid,

where every single action you perform is documented,

and if you get out of line, they can just turn off your chip,

for at that point in time, every single aspect of society will revolve around interactions with the chips.

This is the picture that is painted for the future if you open your eyes to see it.

A centralized one world economy where everyone's moves and everyone transactions are tracked and monitored.

All rights removed.

The most incredible aspect of all:

These totalitarian elements will not be forced upon the people,

the people will demand them.

For the social manipulation of society through the generation of fear

and division has completely detached human from their sense of power and reality.

A process, which has been going on for centuries if not millennia.

Religion.

Patriotism,

Race,

Wealth,

Class,

and every other form of arbitrary separatist identification and thus conceit,

has served to create a controlled population, utterly malleable in the hands of the few.

Divide and Conquer is the motto,

and as long as people continue to see themselves as separate from everything else,

they lend themselves to being completely enslaved.

The men behind the curtain know this. And they also know,

that if people ever realize the truth of their relationship to nature,

and the truth of their personal power..

The entire manufactured Zeitgeist they prey upon, will collapse like a house of cards..

The whole system that we live in, drills into us that we are powerless,

that we are weak, that society is evil, that it's crime ridden and so forth.

It is all a big fat lie!

We are powerful, beautiful, extraordinary.

There is no reason why we cannot understand who we truly are where we are going.

There is no real why the average individual cannot be fully empowered.

We are incredibly power beings.

I think I spent 30 years of my life,

the first 30 trying to become something.

I wanted to become good at things, I wanted to become at tennis and school and grades.

And everything I kinda viewed in that perspective,

I'm not okay the way I am, but if I got good at things..

I realized that I had the game wrong.

Because the game was to find out what I already was.

Now, in our culture we have been trained for individual differences to stand out.

So you look at each person and the immediate hit is.

Brighter, dumber, older, younger, richer poorer..

And we make all these dimensional distinctions,

put them in categories and treat them that way.

And get so we only see others as separate from ourselves

in the ways in which they are separate.

And one of the dramatic characteristics of experience

is being with another person and suddenly seeing

the ways in which they are like you, not different from you.

And experiencing the fact that which is essence in you,

which is essence in me is, indeed, one.

The understanding that there is no other. It is all one.

I wasn't born Richard Albert, I was just born as a human being

and then I learn this whole business of who I am, whether I'm good or bad, achieving or not..

All that's learned along the way.

When the power of love overcomes the love of power,

the world will know peace.

-Jimi Hendrix

The old appeals to racial, sexual and religious shovanism,

to rabid nationalistic fervor,

are beginning not to work.

A new consciousness is developing which sees the earth as a single organism,

and recognizes, that an organism at war with itself is doomed.

Bill Hicks used to finish his shows

with this:

Life's like a ride in an amusement park,

and when you go on it you think it's real because that's how powerful our minds are.

The ride goes up and down and round and round,

it has thrills and chills and it's very brightly colored.

And it's very loud and it's fun for a while.

Some have been on the ride for a long time and they begin the question:

Is this real? Or is this just a ride?

And other people have remembered and they back to us and they say:

Hey, don't worry, don't be afraid ever.

Cause this is just a ride.

And we kill those people.

Shut him up I have got a lot invested in this ride, shut his up!

Look at my frowns of worry.

Look at my big bank account and my family,

this has to be real..

It's just a ride.

But we always kill those good guys who try and tell us that,

you ever notice that?

And we let the demons run a muck..

But it doesn't matter, because it is just a ride

and we can change it anytime we want.

It is only a choice.

No effort, no work, no job, no savings of money.

Just a choice right now.

Between fear,

and love.

The revolution is now.
