    Once you awaken, you can't go back to sleep.

    There is more to life than making money.

    You obviously dont know this but the very basis of the modern world of money-making is philosophy. All the sciences began as philosophy; and all the great scientists and human creators in all fields have been at heart philosophers; men & women who sought truth not money.

    Yes I think many people are awake to what is going on. However the cave is where they feel safe and don't want to come out and live the truth. They are used to the lies and comfortable with all the technology they have in their homes. I far prefer to be awake and aware and have been since the early 70's. Now people tell me to wake up because I don't follow what they see. No corruption, no chemtrails and no control... Not good at all. A reawakening is needed...

    Well just because money is not the most important thing in life does not mean it is of no importance or value.

    This is part of the modern mental ilness; we have all been programmed to be worker bees; to dedicate our lives to waged labour; and to estimate our worth in monetary terms.
