What can I do?

[Break_The_Barriers]

Hello. After listening to the podcasts and reading the many articles on SOTT and Cassiopaea, I've found myself very upset by the state of our world. I'm angered by what the controllers of my country our doing to its people, and its clear to me now where it is heading, and I ask myself, "What can I do?" I feel so helpless when confronted by the scope of the situation and it really bothers me. I want to contribute to the evolution of man and I want to help end the senseless destruction. I want to help to awaken my fellow humans but I find it very frustrating and hopeless when they don't care about what is happening. They dont care and they don't want to know. They don't want to see the truth and they wish to remain in their fantasies. It makes me question my own state of mind and makes me feel as if I'm living in some delusional fantasy of my own and I fall back to sleep. I'm tired of falling asleep and I'm tired of my actions not reflecting my thoughts. I want to strengthen my voice and strengthen my will and dismantle my reservations, whether they be fear, depression, egoism, denial, etc. I want to be free. And I want to free others. But what can I do? Where do I begin? Where do I go from here?

Welcome to the Forum Break_The_Barriers,

A good start would be to work on yourself. If you need help with concepts you can try the cassiopaea glossary. http://glossary.cassiopaea.com/glossary.php An observation you might consider in your statement , "I want to free others" is that you might want to guard against crossing free will. I mean this in terms "find it very frustrating and hopeless when they don't care about what is happening" which I understand is their right.

There is also a study group called casschat but I am uncertain if I can publicly invite people, maybe a moderator or forum owner will be able to discuss that with you. I'm just not clear on that particular area.

It's an honor to make your aquaintence!

And I want to free others. But what can I do? Where do I begin? Where do I go from here?

I d say from yourself,
how do you know that you really are awake and free now!?

Once you really are you will not have to do anything, those who need you will be drawn to you like a moth to the flame, and they will be ready to have their illusions burned

As I was writing somwhere else on this forum, I think once you start opening your eyes your first natural impulse is to start shaking the others, unfortunatelly this is still very much driven by the ego and our lower centers and we should by all means restrain ourself from anything else but leaving gentle clues and directions. Been there myself.

You will notice that people here very often mention Work. When I first came to this forum didnt have a clue what work is.
Now I am slowly getting the idea and I can tell its a hard work, and a long journey too, but once you set out on it you wont be able to settle for anything less.

So welcome to our kindergarden,
noise has provided excellent link for whenever you r in doubt about meaning or implications of certain terms

My suggestion is first start reading the Wave series and then everything starts to unfold spontaneously

welcome, btb.
you are at a very difficult stage of things, because you'll undoubtably find that people 'don't want to be helped' which just seems kinda mad, right?

my only advice right now, is to just keep on going, keep reading, researching, learning, see where it naturally takes you. You've got a good reason to be upset and angered at how things are, and if you can use that to 'fuel' you to find out more, then you'll possibly discover a whole lot more about yourself, about the world, and why it is that you can't just steam in and 'save the world', and probably also discover what you can do. but only bit by bit.

if it was quick, easy and obvious to get out of, we wouldn't be in this mess in the first place ;)

yeah, I'll second Deckard's suggestion of reading 'The Wave'. Though the subject matter might initially strike you as a pointless diversion if you are initially focused on current political events, it absolutely isn't! basically, we're a whole lot less than we could be, and so if we're going to successfully do anything about anything and even know what to do in the first place, then we need to learn a whole lot more about ourselves and the world, and why we are unable to do things, and we need to put ourselves through a few paces to change that.

hope that didn't all sound too abstract. (only saying that because I know it did... )

There is also a study group called casschat but I am uncertain if I can publicly invite people, maybe a moderator or forum owner will be able to discuss that with you. I'm just not clear on that particular area.

as far as casschat goes. it is a public discussion group which is open to anyone to join, as long as they respect the rules (similar to here). if you are considering it, you might want to have more of a look around http://www.cassiopaea.org to understand the kind of things discussed, to see if it is actually what you are looking for. it is quite similar to some of the material on the forum here, really, except in a different structure, and less 'news' more 'personal' orientated.

One of my brothers, who had his feet firmly planted until recently mentioned last week that "there's something wrong with what's happening in the world at the moment", I was shocked. Several other people have also said similar things.

I think that most people have no interest in being helped but I would surmise that there is a mass "waking-up" going on and they would be best helped by being left alone until they notice you with the big grin and then you can ask them if they are interested in how deep the rabbit-hole goes...

Thanks for the advice everyone. I'm currently reading The Wave a second time around and have read a little bit of The Adventure series. I understand that I can't violate anyones free will, but the above post was kind of the result of a breaking point for me and i appreciate the comments. So I guess I'll just continue along my path and spread as much info as i can. Thanks again.
