Thank you for another amazing and thought-provoking session
Especially that part about shocks has rung close to home.
I can speak from experience that sometimes a big, painful shock is more than necessary. And not even a shock that can shake the whole collective with you in it, but a shock of more personal nature. It just need to be strong enough to make you want to change your current reality and finally start implementing the knowledge you were gathering all these years - put it in use and try to make a difference. For yourself and the others. That kind of a shock that even if the General Law would be activated to put you in your place (like it usually happens), the reminder of this shock, and the possibility of experiencing another shock of the same kind would effectively make you fight it more consciously and with more fire than ever before. Because you would never ever want to go back.
But yes, looking around and seeing how crazy the world is, and how it gets even more freakier and scarier every passing day serves, I think, as the biggest alarm-clock of them all.

(Ark) I mean, because you may know things, know things, know things... and do nothing! And then, there comes shock, and then you realize that your knowledge - you were not using your knowledge!
(Perceval) It seems to me that this might apply to a lot of forum members who have been just quietly absorbing the information, but unable to do anything with it because of all this programming and stuff. The seed of knowledge has been planted in those people, but they haven't actually done anything with it.
