Over two decades later and the public is still being gaslit about one of the most influential global events in modern history. But this is also providing meaningful evolutionary pressure.
Well done, Joe, like all your work. I have been following you for some tie now starting at collective evolution. What strikes me re the 9/11 but also COVID related information that strives to reveal the truth is that to me it is not new that the rich and powerful deceive us even going to measures like false flag operations and massive public deception. This has been the case all through history and in many cases much worse... starting wars, accelerating wars, spreading misinformation about climate change, pretending to be federal banks when they are mostly privately held etc. Actions that easily has cost the lives of millions of people. Let's not forget that we pried a more just system out of the hands of feudal brutality and out of the hands of slave owners. We are not done.
What I cannot see is a way out by pointing to the problem. You are not the only one who's doing that but without a vision for the future we will never move forward. The future will have all the people still in it. Nobody is leaving.
I have been aware of many of these aspects of the deceptive human culture for a long time and along with me a lot of people. But I don't see a movement that outlines what future we are committed to. Do you? Please point me to it. A long time ago you wrote an article about oneness as the better worldview... do you still have it? Is it published somewhere?
I came to the conclusion that oneness is the only way out because of its many implications. Oneness activism though must start with a vision of where we going and how we will get there.
Check out Charles Eisenstein and The Sanity Project. Within it are “pods” where approximately 20 people [per pod] join to practice real-time, though virtual, “interbeing.” Undefinably powerful nascent community-building.
It is unfortunate that there are so many alternative reporters depending on donations. Real reach would happen if you could turn on a radio station, instead of NPR, you could tune into an interesting show with conversations embracing a wider perspective, a show geared toward fanning the flames of curiosity in listeners and not fear or antagonism. That would require many who work separately now to come together and campaign for fearless investors with a mindset on the same page. Employees would lose some independence but would get paid to push the envelope more, not as much as they would like, but enough to educate an audience. The civil rights movement made progress against huge odds, no reason this cannot happen again regarding the chaotic issues of our time. It wasn't too long ago that prominent players wanted to jail Elvis for his gyrations, yet he changed our music culture for the better creatively, by not allowing his artistic self-expression to be edited.
Though I can relate to your vision of broadly funded "wider viewpoints" news and such, I'll say that there is something very empowering and also connecting in paying for things that gave been assumed free by most: my news, my email services, my data management services., my document creation programs, etc. It's very energy consuming (perpetual learning curve) and yet, the feeling of sovereignty outside of GAFAM is fantastic. Happy trails!
We’re having to re-invent, re-purpose, re-imagine how to contribute most powerfully to this metamorphosis. A big part of the process is letting go of what we thought would, with enough good intention and tenacity, take deep root. Yet as you acknowledge, more seeds have grown, the ground is more fertile now, and hope is even a reasonable place to stand.
It's funny timing reading this from you today... I woke up this morning to a substack from The Free Press written by a doctor named Jay Battacharya who wrote a piece about being censored during COVID. I felt for him and his story - and agree with the insanity of the censorship he was subject to - but I am now also thinking to myself... he has a huge platform to put his story out on and he has a very large twitter following. It's as you said but I never thought of it before.. he was censored but that censorship made his message go further. He still reaches millions even though he was censored. Whereas I remember you guys disappeared entirely from my newsfeed, Google and YouTube.
You're right, that is a good thing, and this is a different time.
As a long time follower, I'm sad to see what happened with you guys and CE. I remember when a bunch of celebrities used to repost your stuff. Maybe one day things will grow again for you guys.
Maybe one day indeed! Ya I think I got that piece from The Free Press you are talking about, but I haven't read it yet. You are pointing out the exact sentiment I was hoping to get across. once I minus out my personal pain on the issue, it's a net positive where we are. That's it that's all! :)
"Going from hard-earned Joe Rogan level reach to being hard to find, all from a switch of a button." Wow, I didn't know this happened, that is a hard pill to swallow. You had a hard-earned place in the expanded Consciousness we see today, and like so many people who are ahead of their time you paid a price for it. Thank you!
9-11 is what woke me up primarily through architects and engineers. It wasn't easy to have my illusions shattered, but that's the tilled soil needed to plant new seeds.
Indeed it has been a wild ride lol. At one point Rogan used to share our stuff on his Twitter from time to time. It was a great learning experience overall, and as you mentioned, we do see the places where we may have indeed contributed to how things are now. The grief is still being worked through to some extent. I had worked really hard to build a robust company, we had 15 employees and huge plans for the future. Then all just taken away, it was an attack not just on my livelihood but everyone on the team. We all figured things out eventually, but it certainly didn't feel fair.
And what you said about 9/11 being a catalyst for you and how that tilled the soil to plan new seeds... very well said, and that certainly is a journey I have seen many go on which has led us all to this point. Good things ahead I sense, even if it may get a bit rockier still. :)
"By its own fluid, the caterpillar’s body dissolves within the chrysalis to metamorphose into the butterfly. The chaos that has recently emerged on all of Earth, is the ‘fluid’ now dissolving humanity as we know it, within our global ‘chrysalis’. We the ‘Conscious Creatives’, are the imaginal cells building the new evolved Whole World out of the formless solution that chaos continues to make of us, as it expands and envelopes virtually all of humanity. It is time we redirect technology toward the truly organic evolution we so desperately need, arrest our descent to extinction, and manifest a paradigm that transcends our shortcomings."

Yes, personally I would like the choice to subscribe to both avenues of info. I simply can't afford to pay for every substack individually.
A wonderful, peace-filled article for such a difficult subject. Well done Joe, as always.
So much loss by so many.

Grief.
Patience.
Faith.
And as always, plenty of work.

COVID, 9/11, AND CLIMATE CHANGE
Thank you for being fearless and for using your platform to ask the hard questions
That's it that's all, and thank you for using your voice, expertise and intellect on these inquiries as well!
