Have You a Positive Personal Practice?

Have You a Positive Personal Practice?

Those who dive deeply into unmasking the Deep State Matrix (also known by many other names) and its various methods, operatives, sycophants and agents think they are enlightening themselves. And in some ways they are, if enlightening their lives is strictly interpreted as exposing the multiple layers of Imperial lies and deceit.

Rather than constructing a truth, arguably a somewhat more positive experience, what we are in fact doing is deconstructing a lie. Therefore by extension we are deconstructing our self, since our self is seamlessly intertwined and interchangeable with our worldview. We are taught, conditioned really, to identify ourselves in relation to how we perceive the world and our place within it. Continue reading Have You a Positive Personal Practice?

While we closed on the purchase of our mountain cabin in March of 2013, we didn’t actually make it our home until June of that same year. Over the ensuing four years we have been busy getting a lay of the land and a sense of where we may fit within the bigger picture up here.

Some of this entails interacting with the natives, either socially or when conducting business of any kind. I’m a firm believer in spending my dollars locally if at all possible, even if that means it costs a little (and sometimes a lot) more.

Another way is to constantly explore the back roads (many of them dirt) by taking a right instead of the usual left.

Rarely am I disappointed with my investment of time and energy. Continue reading Ψ Dark Homes

Once or twice a month Mrs. Cog and I pack up the car and head to Winston-Salem, North Carolina. For us poor mountain folk, that’s the big city and the best destination when our need for certain items calls for visiting particular stores.

Each trip down from the mountain elicits at least one observation about recent changes to the Matrix. For example, Mrs. Cog noticed the big box stores appear to be reducing their selection significantly. Once it was brought to my attention, it was suddenly obvious they were narrowing their inventory to those items with high margins and quick turnover. Essentially they are abandoning the rest of the low margin consumer market to the likes of Amazon.com, Wallmart.com and so on.

But what we stumbled upon as we hunted down a used book store near the heart of Winston-Salem was a bit surprising to say the least. It is common to find beggars and panhandlers working the stop light at busy intersections. Often they are soliciting the right hand turn lane or narrow island of grass separating the traffic flowing in opposite directions using the tool of their trade; a cardboard sign describing their particular plight in hand written black marker.
