How far are we from the better Earth reality versions?

[T.C.]

I think the simple answer to the title of your post is, VERY.

Remember, "those who pay attention to objective reality"... So I agree with Redfox that we should make this concept of changing reality a personal one of changing our own reality. So a more practical question to ask ourselves would be something like, "what is the next step for me in order to shift my reality into the world that is another step closer to the one the rest of the group members are heading towards?" Because, that is something that we've got a much better chance of imagining or contemplating and achieving, and it's much more real for us, as opposed to wanting to know how far we are from a world most - if not all - of us can't even imagine at this point.

Maybe the closer we get, the more idea we'll have of what this "new" world might look like, and it'll be our ability to picture it and understand it, that then through new actions brings it into the realm of possibility. But for now, I want to focus on navigating in this reality which is just going to get worse, and worse, and worse.

T.C.,

I agree wholeheartedly with the bolded sentence.

And if one really asks themselves this, and comes up with answers and DOES according to insight, perhaps the part you wrote "..is just going to get worse, and worse, and worse" is not set in stone ?

I say this not because it's not possible for bad things to happen but because the whole idea behind this thread and the answers members have given, elucidate just how OPEN the future is, and also how subjective "worse" is.

Thank you for your thoughtful response, transientP. I'm aiming for a state of healthy pessimism at the moment because I feel I have so much to do and I don't have time for complacency. That has obviously lead me to an overly linear way of looking at this subject. In future, I'll keep in mind what you pointed out, and use it to balance out my fears of what's to come.

As I want to change tracks to go to better realities it would be good to know for the perception of efforts are being taken each day how far is this reality from the best possible on the above line?

Here is an excerpt you might be interested in, Laura wrote in Chapter 27: Stripped to the Bone:

What this means is that, as long as we do not engage in disciplined efforts to widen our perception, we appear to have little freedom within the field to behave other than we do. The more aware of the noumenal or causal realm we are, the more free will we can have. And this is because we are overcoming the damping effect of matter and the Predator’s mind. By doing this, we are increasing our polarization.

What can be, what might have been, or what should be are ideas that can be dealt with via reason even if there are no apparent manifestations of them in the reality. And this is where the mind — consciousness, awareness — comes into the picture in disciplined effort to envision what has not (apparently) existed and does not (apparently) exist, but which must exist by virtue of the fact we can conceive it.

In the deepest terms, reason is more than the domain of possibilities; it is also the realm of possible empirical worlds, of analytic constructions, of alternate conceptions, and of potential frameworks for the very conditions of experience. Because we can think about things that we have never experienced with any of our senses, and understand that reason, making use of knowledge and awareness, can be independent of the “real world”.

Therefore, it is also possible that reason, supported by knowledge and awareness and followed by choice, stands in causal relation to phenomena.
In other words, if your knowledge and awareness of the reality lead you to the conclusion, via reason, that the reality is controlled, and you are not free within it, yet you can develop or comprehend the idea of a world that is not controlled, that is not limited. You can choose to align yourself with such a possible world in a deep and conscious way. This choice of alignment then becomes your connection to a thought center. And the stronger your connection to the thought center, which is in the causal realm, the more it will manifest in your reality.

That's such a pertinent quote, Oxajil. Thanks for digging it out for us.

I could be wrong, but it might depend on each individual in a group as to how 'far' they are from a better Earth reality version. Individually, it might depend on the daily choices we make, and the amount of effort we apply every day, either to make improvements of our selves, to help other individuals in the group, or to do one's bit for the benefit of all. That includes networking, working, and the accumulation of knowledge and the practice of it. Easier said than done! But as Laura said: "So, it's very, very important if people want to make this transition to be like the wise virgins: keep the faith, and keep doing, keep putting one foot in front of the other day after day even though they don't see any immediate benefits for themselves."

[...]

So I think that it's an individual and group effort, as they say: one for all and all for one. Whether this better reality is far away or not, is difficult to say. I think that it's important to not assume that we will end up anywhere, for all we know some of us might leave to 5th density during these times. However, that shouldn't stop us to work as best as we can while being as vigilant as we can be every day, so that if we do leave here, whenever that might be, we will at least have a sense of having served a bigger and more meaningful purpose. I do think that doing our best in making the right decisions (which can be difficult, but networking helps!) may lead to a better 'future' at some point in 'time'.

That's a great way to put it.

One thing I have learned is that once you start putting effort into knowing what goes on on this planet, minor and major things, you really start to get a glimpse of the amount of evil, darkness, and chaos that's present on this planet.

This is something I'm (gratefully) going through again at the moment. My emotional centre is waking up, and the terror of the situation is more real to me now than it ever has been. For about the past week, what has been really upsetting me is THE LIES! All the lies that cover up everything that constitutes human life on Earth. From health, politics, history. I think it was really triggered for me by the Moriaty's interview Joe and Niall did.

It's all too much to stomach. But I just want to see and know more and more.

Here's another snippet that I found helpful:

To many of you, it may seem that the Cassiopaeans offer nothing but repeated statements that we are “damned no matter what we do”, as one correspondent suggested. But, that is not entirely the case. Yes, it is true that up to this point I have presented mostly the information that relates to these matters, attempting to penetrate and tear the veils of illusion under which humankind has been hidden from his higher nature or potential. But this has only been done with the intention of having a relatively clear view of what possibilities of doing we may actually have. Actually, I have been trying to accomplish something else, something deep and essential. For those who are asking, I have been trying to help you find your free will.

The point is, I am trying to shock you. I am trying to make you think about things in new ways. I am trying to get you to look at yourself, study yourself, discover your illusions and then apply yourself to becoming free of them. If humankind has any hope of surviving, it will have to have a major change of mind, or metanoia, which is incorrectly translated in the New Testament as repentance. For a change of mind to even be possible, it has to know itself.

Not sure if all the above helps at all, but hope it helps a bit.

I found it very helpful. Thanks, Oxajil.

Also, I think it's important to read good news and not just "breaking" news.

Yes, but "breaking" news is not always bad news, but I think I get what you mean! I think that paying "strict attention to objective reality right and left" includes the ''good'' and the ''bad'' news. Either way, I think it's important to stay as objective as possible when reading the news.

A lot of mainstream media would have people believe that everything is constantly falling apart everywhere, as they rely on fear to keep viewers entranced and coming back for more. As well as to try and shape opinions about whatever is "happening" at the moment. Happening being in quotation marks seeing as many other positive occurrences are also happening that go unreported.

Good point, I think that the mainstream media reports news the way they see fit. If the people are in need to be controlled some more, they will be fed terror stories. If they need the people to have a sense of "everything is alright", the mainstream media reports "happypappy" news. In a nutshell, people aren't told what the real terror is and who's responsible for it, and they're not told when something positive happens that doesn't fit the main agenda of the puppet masters.

This is something I'm (gratefully) going through again at the moment. My emotional centre is waking up, and the terror of the situation is more real to me now than it ever has been. For about the past week, what has been really upsetting me is THE LIES! All the lies that cover up everything that constitutes human life on Earth. From health, politics, history. I think it was really triggered for me by the Moriaty's interview Joe and Niall did.

Yes, I know how you feel. These psychos have been getting away with their agendas for such a long time, and like you said, pretty much every area is infected in one way or another! But as the C's said in the last session, "Do not lose heart. Just remember that if you do all you can, yourselves in the future will bridge the gap. You are all potential transducers of information into chaos. Let that information be love/truth." Perhaps one way to channel the anger and sadness is to share what we've learned (and how it affects us) in one way or another. Networking and engaging here on the forum as you are doing is one way. I found this thread very helpful which discusses this: 'Awakened conscience', DOing, and achieving CRITICAL MASS.

Fwiw! Thanks for adding in your thoughts transientP and T.C.!
