Re: What does everyone think

If they were men and were capable of 'doing,' they would be able to resist these influences and refrain from killing one another."

Is this what we are doing here, finding the capability within – indeed it might be so, experiencing in another way, tying to look at what goes on behind the curtain?

And later

If we only knew what Illusion is, we would then know the opposite: what Truth is. This Truth would liberate us from slavery.

I think that you may, or may not, have answered your own question here.

I trust that 'I', personally, am here finding the capability within, to SEE what ‘goes on behind the curtains’.

I think the tricky crux here is that we tend to think we have no other resource because we've been trained by the Pathocracy to not SEE any other recourse. We react how they want us to react - we've been trained and limited by those who will most benefit from our own violent reaction.
…
it's a horrific and complicated situation created and managed by those who sculpt how we think and how we react to EVERYTHING. I think the key lies in learning how to think for ourselves and stop reacting - in order to find those other solutions that do exist - but it ain't easy.

I agree, we need to overcome being a machine and reacting, we need to think for ourselves (am I doing that here?!) and,

There is also a lot of '3D thinking' and 'body-centric thinking' coming into play, across the board, which is natural since we're in 3D bodies! However, if we are to ever move beyond that, individually and as a species, we must open our minds a bit more and consider other possibilities. I think it was Martin Luther King who said, "hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that" - and while rather 'airy fairy', I think he was on to something.

Quote from: C's
Love is Light is Knowledge. To love you must know. To know is to have light. To have Light is to love. And to have knowledge is to love

I liked Arun's idea, but had EXACTLY the same thought. At this point, with the media wholly controlled and the public mind, really, wholly controlled, I don't think the masses would get up and say 'what is going on' - and even if some of them did, then what - they are wholly controlled. Perhaps I'm too pessimistic...

I think it is no coincidence that we here have been led to a very different type of resistance, and one that holds the promise of actually being truly effective against the powers that be while at the same time avoiding the requirement to put our physical bodies directly in the line of fire.

I agree.

I, too, agree, and as for the masses, I think it would pass totally un-noticed, the indoctrination is too deeply embedded., already.

Re: What does everyone think

Resistance takes many forms. The vast majority of Palestinians, like the masses of normal people everywhere would do in a similar situation, struggle creatively to find solutions to life, no matter what hardships it throws at them. By simply doing this, eking out a living under torturous circumstances, perhaps they are undertaking the ultimate form of resistance. They refuse to submit and become the total slaves the Pathocracy wants them to be.

This states very simply and elegantly the crux of the matter for me. It reminds me of a poem by the Spanish poet, Miguel de Unamuno, "Throw Yourself Like Seed." Unamuno, a member of the Spanish intellligensia, was known for criticizing Franco's facism and is remembered for his confrontation with General Millan-Astray at the University of Salamanca.

As the story goes, Unamuno, who was presiding over the meeting, rose to address the crowd after a group of Falangists interupted the meeting: "You are waiting for my words. You know me well, and know I cannot remain silent for long. Sometimes, to remain silent is to lie, since silence can be interpreted as assent.

Millán-Astray responded: "¡Muera la inteligencia! ¡Viva la Muerte!" ("Death to intelligence! Long live death!"), provoking applause from the Falangists. Unamuno, unfazed, continued: "This is the temple of intelligence, and I am its high priest. You are profaning its sacred domain. You will win[venceréis], because you have enough brute force. But you will not convince [pero no convenceréis]. In order to convince it is necessary to persuade, and to persuade you will need something that you lack: reason and right in the struggle. I see it is useless to ask you to think of Spain.

Shake off this sadness, and recover your spirit;
Sluggish you will never see the wheel of fate
That brushes your heel as it turns going by,
The man who wants to live is the man in whom life is abundant.

Now you are only giving food to that final pain
Which is slowly winding you in the nets of death,
But to live is to work, and the only thing which lasts
Is the work; start there, turn to the work.

Throw yourself like seed as you walk, and into your own field,
Don't turn your face for that would be to turn it to death,
And do not let the past weigh down your motion.

Leave what's alive in the furrow, what's dead in yourself,
For life does not move in the same way as a group of clouds;
From your work you will one day be able to gather yourself.
