“The light keeps shining in the dark, and darkness has never put it out.” - John 1:5
“You are the light of the world. So let your light shine...For if the light within you goes dark, how great is that darkness!” - Yeshua (Jesus), 'Sermon on the Mount'
“Forever man will fight, til’ everyone in the dark world sees the light; til’ every man is equal in the Most High’s sight; doesn’t matter if you’re dark skinned, red or white.” - Anthony B, Freedom Fighter
Darkness, darkness, everywhere… Or so they would lead us to believe
The times in which we currently find ourselves traversing as people of the earth appear to be defined by a sense of increasing chaos, division, and intense polarization; with darkness of every kind all around us everywhere one looks. At least this is the view of our world as seen through the lens of the American Mockingbird Media and controlled corporate media across the planet. And with at least two major wars continuing to rage on with no end in sight, inching closer and closer to the point of exploding into a third world war many analysts project would almost certainly be nuclear; it is no wonder so many are convinced that this darkness on the earth – which cannot be denied – is taking over our planet, and that the proverbial ‘end’ is near.
This take on the state of the world being seeded into the collective human consciousness is not at all accidental, being an integral aspect of the deeply societally entrenched, intentionally orchestrated mass mind-control intrinsic to the enslavement of humanity. It breeds fear, depression, desperation, hopelessness leading to apathy, and also contributes to the divisiveness of an already highly polarized world. This unchecked institutionalized obsession with all things dark and violent is part of the Dark Side's longstanding attempt to increasingly anchor humanity in the lower level frequencies of suffering and negative states of consciousness wherein Mankind is incredibly dis-empowered and thus also feels entirely powerless to do anything meaningful to affect any real positive change in the world. This very real dis-empowerment creating a false sense of powerlessness in turn inevitably leads to huge portions of humanity outsourcing its power to the very systems and institutions responsible for fear-mongering, manipulating, and dis-empowering them in the first place. Having been molded into the helpless and often hopeless victims that in truth none of us actually our, one naturally look to 'saviors' outside of oneself for empowerment, solutions, and freedom from the insanity. But the truth, that Bob Marley highlighted in his music, always remains the same: “None but ourselves can free our minds.” (Redemption Song)
In the world of politics, people are perpetually manipulated into outsourcing their power to political 'saviors' that inevitably do little to nothing to create any real positive change or 'save' either humanity or the planet from the 'bad guys', who or whatever that is defined as. On the contrary, such thinking and the action or non-action that follows consistently serves to perpetuate the very system of corporate-government enslavement actively dis-empowering humanity through this sick game of manipulative mind-control. The very same mindset and result is accomplished in religion by convincing people that true salvation, redemption, freedom and peace can and will only arrive when a future Messiah figure miraculously appears out of the heavens to 'save' us, and that we must obediently follow the teachings and leaders of the institutionalized religion if we wish to be among those 'saved'.
In both cases, humanity is being actively manipulated into falling for the lie that we have no real power of our own, when in fact the exact opposite is the truth, and we have always had ALL of the real power – or at least direct access to real power within us – while that masquerading on the world stage as power in all of its various forms is but mere force. It is no wonder that so many spiritual teachers and masters have warned their students and listeners of the danger of becoming entangled with the inherent negativity of these constructs of control by involving oneself in politics and organized religion.
The empowering truth that the Dark Side will endlessly suppress in every way imaginable is that we all have the greatest power of the entire universe lying dormant within is – each and every one of us – and this immense power is the very same power that created the universe. And this Power is Love. As captured so beautifully in the lyrics of musician MC Yogi:
“Your love, is the best medicine; I shine like Edison, whenever I let it in; Love is the power that opens every flower, and transformed this coward into a champion; When we are lost, love is there to remind us, providing signs and offering us guidance; Love is infinite, unlimited and timeless; Look inside your heart, that's where you will find it.”

It is no wonder those who wish to control us must first convince us we are effectively powerless; and ever ridicule the notion – true as it may be – that unconditional love extended to all is actually the real solution to all of our problems!
Inevitably, due to the mass awakening to the inherent corruption of the dark global power structures dividing and controlling us, a Great Inversion of the truth is the only way the Dark Side can continue to convince humanity to outsource its power and thus retain its control and domination of the planet. This is accomplished by putting darkness for light and light for darkness, to reference the words of the Hebrew prophet Isaiah; and so it is that in this time of great awakening, false light is becoming an even greater threat to humanity than the overt darkness now becoming plain for all to see.
Any ideology, system or institution that has us outsourcing our power to external forces of any kind and relying upon those same forces for our 'salvation' – whatever one perceives that to be – is pushing a dis-empowering falsehood directly contributing in large part to humanity's enslavement and state of perpetual suffering.
Peace/freedom activist and independent journalist Derick Broze defines this inversion as:
A false awakening whereby the steadily waking masses of freedom lovers are duped (once more) into falling for fake heroes and messiahs, and stealthily manipulated into supporting their own enslavement.

Unfortunately, this has led to a great number of awakening souls being steered off of the true path of spiritual awakening before completing the natural awakening process within themselves, and millions of minds are in this way being funneled into yet one more false paradigm of enslavement; the paradigm of the false awakening and false light battling the forces of darkness. Both of these 'opposing sides' of the false paradigm feed into the Dark Side's agenda for total control over humanity, and both appear to be equally entranced by the gloom & doom narrative of fear and helplessness that has such a grip on the collective human consciousness. The ‘Doomsday Clock’ well reflects this pervasive state of mind, counting down ever so steadily towards 'Doomsday'; kicked off at '7 minutes to midnight' in 1948 and now sitting at a mere '90 seconds' away from the ‘end’, signaling the fast approach of humanity's self-destruction in recent years.
But many are seeing through the incessant fear-mongering, recognizing that focusing obsessively on the fear-inducing darkness in our world is no solution to the existential threat itself nor to the fear arising from this fixation; while some media voices are even recognizing the very real danger posed by this obsession – the anxiety it spawns. This anxiety then leaves people in a severely weakened state of helpless, hopeless, dis-empowerment, in which the mind is susceptible to even greater levels of manipulation and the body susceptible to all manner of disease.

This Dark Night which humanity is currently walking through is nevertheless a reality and should not be ignored; but so is the Light dawning in the heart of Mankind and shining into this world of darkness an even greater reality. And this is being highly suppressed and ignored like the plague. Why? Because the true light within us IS the solution, and the real solution threatens the political, corporate, religious, and financial power of all those who are a part of the problem. In truth, none of that is true power, but good luck trying to convince the power-hungry wolves who are drunk on greed that, “it ain't money that's power, it's knowledge that's king,” as musicians Steve Falconer and Alex Michael pointed out in a recently released song entitled You'll Wake Up Someday; an honest and loving assessment of the current state of vast swaths of humanity still plugged into the Matrix of dis-empower mind control.
You think your side is winning but you don't know the score; They ain't beasts in the east, we aren't the best in the west, we don't reason very well wearing bulletproof vests...By believing those dog-lying wolves on the screen, whose words you believe and whose pockets are green...You think you have freedom but you'll wake up someday...

This is spiritual war & the dark forces are steadily losing ground
Those who espouse the positive and in my view accurate assessment that the dark forces upon our planet are in fact steadily losing ground, are often met with incredible resistance from many a soul who is simply yet unable to acknowledge such a beautiful possibility. Understandably, I suppose, as it's not a difficult worldview to reinforce, given the rampant suffering of all types plaguing so much of the planet, especially given the amplification of this darkness by the powers that really shouldn't be.
Just one such prime example being widespread human trafficking, with more human slaves on the planet now than when the slave trade was outlawed across the West in the 19th Century. In fact, there are an estimated two to four times the number of human slaves on the planet today than the total number of slaves taken from Africa during the entire three and a half centuries of the Transatlantic Slave Trade!
The problem of modern human trafficking remains one of the ugliest blights of modern 'civilized' society. And while awareness of the scope as well as the deeply entrenched and covertly institutionalized nature of this deep darkness has grown in recent years, humanity has yet to take the decisive action necessary to root out this corruption from within our midst.
Slavery was finally outlawed when humanity could no longer collectively tolerate it, however slavery never actually disappeared, it simply shape-shifted and went underground; and there it stayed - out of sight, out of mind - until now, that is. And herein lies the key to understanding the nature of the darkness that appears to be so pervasive, out-of-control, and spreading at an alarming rate; as well as the reality that things are not nearly as dark and hopeless as they may at first glance appear to be, given our present bleak and dire looking circumstances in so many regards. For example, the claims that the number of human slaves on the planet had increased by a whopping 10 million in just 5 years – from an estimated 40 million in 2017 to an estimated 50 million in 2022, with these figures way up from an estimated 29.8 million in 2013 – are not likely accurate. Rather, a far more realistic picture of the situation likely being that the organizations behind these estimates have simply gotten much better over time with forming accurate estimates, while the actual numbers of modern human slaves have probably stayed roughly the same over the past two decades, as opposed to growing by 10 million every five years.
The reality is, that the darkness we are all being forced to face is nothing new at all; it is simply the same darkness that has been with humanity all along, the root of which we have yet to collectively address, heal and transcend. The collective darkness on the earth is not in fact intensifying, growing and spreading, but is simply becoming more visible to more people, who for so long refused to see or failed to recognize it for what it truly was.
The reason it seems to be intensifying is simply because it is finally coming to light, and this is because there is also more light on our planet at this time than ever before. After all, the nature of light shining ever more brightly into a dark world is the increasing illumination of that darkness, until the light eventually becomes so bright and its healing rays so pervasive, that the once seemingly intensifying and growing darkness fades away, being transformed into light. This is the nature of light; for when the sun rises, the darkness fades away, as darkness is nothing more than the absence of light. And the laws of our physical universe mirror the laws of the spiritual universe underlying the material world, just as our external world reflects our inner world, both individually and collectively.
This is a very heartening realization, and should serve as a powerful antidote to the sense of depression and hopelessness so many of us no doubt feel in these chaotic and challenging times. Humanity is simply collectively awakening from a long and deep slumber, and is understandably shocked and horrified by the reality she sees upon awakening from the illusory dream world she had been living in when she firsts opens her eyes. The Matrix film was ahead of its time, and serves as a wonderful allegory for the transition humanity is now undergoing.
The true state of affairs on Planet Earth is actually much more positive than society is collectively willing to accept. Since 2020, a Great Awakening has been shaking the collective soul of humanity out of a deep sleep of ignorance, sparking a global revolution the likes of which the world has never before seen, which is currently sweeping across our planet. But many do not see it, for this revolution which has the power to usher in the real change that all of humanity so desperately yearns for, will never be televised. Still others miss it because they are too caught up in the false awakening and are thus convinced that this spiritual revolution is being fought primarily or exclusively on the political stage, when nothing could be further from the truth.
We can all see the desperate need for real change at this point, revolutionary change, and few would go so far as to deny that. But fewer there are who actually see the revolution, now in full swing, that is actually serving to bring about this real change.
Many remain convinced that the revolution is a violent one being fought with material weapons, or that it is being fought upon the political stage and will soon be won with votes in an election. And given the state of world affairs, and the unprecedented number of elections taking place this year all around the world, surely people in many other places also feel much the same. Meanwhile, a great number of people remain distracted by the fear-inducing news cycles perpetually peddling gloom, doom and the divisive polarization tearing humanity apart; and in many respects, the world of social media along with a good number of alternative news outlets aren’t really much better at all in this respect. In some cases, they may in fact be worse.
So it is that, despite millions among humanity fast awakening, many of these are simply still unable to see the peaceful revolution of love that is sweeping the planet and threatening to tear down all of the old-paradigm fear-based constructs of darkness and control that stand between humanity and her birthright. This birthright is nothing less than the peace and freedom she has always desired and dreamed of. And when once this birthright has been successfully reclaimed, humanity will at last dwell in harmony on a beautiful planet no longer ravaged by the machinations of insanity, which are currently inflicting great harm, destruction, and needless suffering upon the very Earth which sustains our every physical and material need. What is needed to speed this transition out of the old and into the new, is a shift of our focus largely away from the darkness we wish to transcend and onto the bright future we are collectively creating as awakened and empowered children of God.
For those who truly desire this positive end, and who wish to see the long prophesied Golden Age of peace and freedom transpire before the alternative negative end of total destruction that society strangely seems so obsessed with arrives; there can be no mistaking that this is a full-blown spiritual war being waged for the very heart and soul of humanity, and indeed for the entire planet. The 'enemy's' goal is “full spectrum dominance” over Planet Earth and the entire human race, as their own documents plainly state; but the peaceful revolution of love sweeping the earth is seriously upending their plans, and, sensing that their end is nigh, the forces of darkness are lashing out like a hunted wolf backed into a corner.
In truth, this spiritual war has been ongoing for ages, however it is now culminating in what clearly seems to be a great final battle for the soul of humanity. And being a spiritual war, this battle for the soul of humanity is not fought with guns, bombs or violence, though the Dark Side certainly employs these tools; but it is rather fought with invisible spiritual weapons that are far more powerful than any guns or bombs could ever be. A fatal flaw of many well-intentioned souls, which only ever leads to empowerment of the very dark forces one thinks to be fighting, is to see the ‘other’ - any of our fellow brothers and sisters of humanity - as the enemy, rather than the darkness within them or the world systems of control which they may be serving.
As the Apostle Paul wisely admonished, one must put on the “armor of God” or “armor of light” in order to prevail against the “schemes of the devil,” and not worldly armor.
For our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
As I have come to understand, these dark forces are in fact twofold. First and foremost, the ‘high places’ or ‘heavenly realms’ in which the forces of darkness are battling are the high places within the human body, that is the mind. The mind is home to the ego and
