This is a question that keeps coming back to me. Are we going to experience the same feeling of something unusual did happen on that day but the major news networks aren’t talking about it? Many people feel that John F Kennedy was assassinated by the government or something deeper than that. Does this all sound like conspiracy theory stuff to you? Well what is conspiracy anyway? According to the dictionary this means; “a plan or agreement between two or more people to commit an illegal or subversive action.”
Now you can argue that all organizations are somehow already involved in some kind of conspiracy. It might not be termed illegal but they do “secretly” plan their marketing approach and strategy to obtain more business and take business away from their competitors. Only certain individuals in the organization know the real plans that were laid out for the company. Sometimes different things are deliberately told to the employees than what was discussed in the boardroom. Can’t this also be seen that this organization is conspiring in secret to gain in the long run at the cost of their competitors and sometimes employees to benefit the shareholders? So conspiracy is almost an everyday event, now the question remains whether this also includes governments and more importantly, will they conspire against their own citizens, the ones paying their salaries in the first place?
I’ve performed a lot of research on what happened on 911 and there are many websites, books and video clips on this subject. What I find the strangest about the incident is that the major news networks don’t run extensive research and coverage on what happened on 911. Why don’t they question the discrepancies? Aren’t they normally the ones that run these adverts saying they bring the news first and do all the research? Why are they so quiet on this subject and yet for those who seek will find things on the internet that so blatantly show something seriously went wrong on that day that can’t be explained away with a couple of terrorists who planned this operation from a cave in Afghanistan. That the same “terrorists” could foil what is arguably the best military defense system in the world.
Let’s look at that best defense system first at the Pentagon. They have anti-aircraft missiles that unless disabled will fire at any non-military signature entering the no fly zone. Why did this system fail? Why did a large Boeing virtually disappear into the wall of the Pentagon? No sign of broken wings or significant amount of debris that are always present at passenger aircraft crashes. How did it make such a small hole in the wall and penetrate so deep inside reinforced steel walls? It went into the building at such a low approach angle that the engines must have dragged on the ground before it made contact with the wall, however the lawn right in front of the crash site had no markings at all. It is strange that video camera’s footage that would have shown the aircraft’s approach into the Pentagon (a garage and hotel), that the FBI arrived minutes after the crash and removed the tapes from the respective sites, never to be seen and never viewed again.
Let’s look at the twin towers. Those two buildings came down as if they were demolished by a professional demolition company. Nowhere in history has a steel frame building collapsed because of fire and also never in a fashion of the buildings falling down perfectly. Some people say it was the “pancake” effect. That the planes destroyed the column structures and once it started falling, the one floor fell on top of the other causing the one to collapse on the next floor and so on. Now you expect the one falling on the other will cause a building of 110 floors to take lets say a second for each floor to hit the next, collapse and then fall again. If you look at the video of the buildings falling, it took only 10 seconds for it to collapse (that is almost freefall speed), which means the floors encountered no resistance at all, just like in a demolition. Also very little was mentioned about building no7, a 50 story building. This building wasn’t hit by a plane, but somehow it also manages to collapse as if it was demolished. How did this happen?
The other strange thing that happened that day was that President Bush was at a Primary School and this was a televised event, yet he was allowed to remain at this venue endangering him and all the kids, while all the planes were crashing not far from his location in New York! Now either knowledge that he was not a target was known, or it was a huge oversight.
What I am describing here sounds very much like a conspiracy theory doesn’t it? The trouble is if you look at all these events that took place, you can either decide that 911 happened because of a comedy of errors and mistakes that prevented fighter planes to be scrambled to intercept the planes. The anti-aircraft missiles at the Pentagon was turned off or malfunctioned (unless the plane gave off a military signature). This means gross incompetence from military defense and/or incredible luck on behalf of the terrorists. Or alternatively, the government allowed this to happen or even worse; they planned and participated in this event from the start.
What is far worse than the loss of life at this tragic event is what conspired directly after 911. Many times over lives (mostly innocent) were lost in the “fight for freedom” with the invasion of Afghanistan and later Iraq. Then more and more control measures were put in place everywhere, monitoring and spying on people. This was all done with the view to protect our “freedoms” but if you see how the most powerful nation in the world reacted to “protect” and rescue its own citizens in Louisiana after hurricane Katrina stuck, you have to wonder what the real intentions of all these control systems are?

What are dreams REALLY about?
Today I am asking this question because I’ve had a strange dream last night. I dreamt that I was going to a concert, or at least tried to get into the concert but could not find any tickets for the event. This concert was held at a large hotel resort and it was fully booked. I can remember looking for ways to get in like trying to book a hotel room and see if I cant somehow get access to the concert that way.
I went through a door and walked down a flight of spiraled steps and strangely enough found myself inside the concert venue. There were a lot of people but very few showed interest in the performers. Most people were in fact sitting on the steps and floor looking very bored with themselves. The strange thing was that the group performing was Led Zeppelin, a band I know by name only, I can’t recall any of their songs and also there were two guys performing on the stage (supposedly them) but I did not recognize the song. They were also standing behind a glass wall during the performance and after the song no one applauded.
They disappeared back stage for a minute and then the one guy came back and said; “you are not alone”, then I woke up. I can remember the way it was said, almost implying that we are not alone on this planet, there are others…
This morning I thought I’ll have to look it up and performed a search on Google for Led Zeppelin. The results brought up a lyrics page for Stairway to Heaven. This intrigued me because it is strange that I dream about a rock band I don’t know and after searching the web I’ve picked up that they actually performed the song I knew; Stairway to Heaven and this also reminded me of the dream where I was walking on the spiral staircase.
I will copy the lyrics of the song Stairway to Heaven as performed by Led Zeppelin here; the lyrics do make for interesting reading:
There's a lady who's sure
all that glitters is gold
and she's buying the stairway to heaven.
When she gets there she knows
if the stores are all closed,
with a word she can get what she came for.
Ooo,......................
and she's buying a stairway to heaven.
There's a sign on the wall,
but she wants to be sure,
`cause you know sometimes words have two meanings.
In a tree by the brook,
there's a songbird who sings,
sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven.
Ooo,......................
It makes me wonder.
Ooo,......................
Makes me wonder.
There's a feeling I get
When I look to the west,
and my spirit is crying for leaving.
In my thoughts I have seen
rings of smoke through the trees,
and the voices of those who stand looking.
And it's whispered that soon
if we all call the tune,
then the piper will lead us to reason.
And a new day will dawn,
for those who stand long,
and the forests will echo with laughter.
If there's a bustle in your hedgerow,
don't be alarmed now,
it's just a spring-clean for the May queen.
Yes, there are two paths you can go by,
but in the long run,
there's still time to change the road you're on.
And it makes me wonder.
Your head is humming and it won't go,
in case you don't know,
the piper's calling you to join him.
Dear lady can you hear the wind blow,
and did you know
your stairway lies on the whisp'rin' wind.
And as we wind on down the road,
our shadows taller than our soul,
there walks a lady we all know
who shines white light and wants to show
how everything still turns to gold.
And if you listen very hard,
the tune will come to you at last,
when all are one and one is all (yeah),
to be a rock and not to roll.
And she's buying a stairway to heaven.

What is planet Earth REALLY about?
My whole life I questioned things. I never really knew why, but somehow I always felt or looked at things differently than other people. We are all influenced by the way we are brought up from a very young age. So many things “program” us the way we are today. Our parents teach us their version of the world, the education system does the same and then there are all the other external influences in our daily lives like TV, movies, radio, Internet, friends, colleagues and off course, religion.
After going through all these “normal” programming methods in my life, I have reached a point in my life where I am trying to de-program some of them, removing all the “clothes” so to speak to identify the real me. I am not sure if this is REALLY possible but I know it means a lot of personal work. It also means that I have to be “awake” all the time. Every time my mind drifts of into a state of dreaming I need to awaken myself again, know where I am and also know what is REALLY going on around me. This is easier said than done. Just try for 5 minutes not to think of anything at all or to make it slightly easier, focus on just one thing. Can you do it? Does your mind drift off to other thoughts? Can you stay “awake” for only 5 minutes?
Also, whenever a thought comes into your mind, do you analyze it? Where did the thought come from…, why do you think about it? Has the thought originated from you or were you influenced by external influences or different “motivation” methods? Energy seems to be linked to thoughts and the effect of thoughts. I wonder if writing does the same thing…
Is this world a kind of prison?
I get the feeling that we are living in a prison, we are an experiment and only a few REALLY know this. In a prison you have walls, high fences and the threat or fear of what will happen to you if you try to escape (this reminds me of that movie; The Village). You also have guards making sure you follow the rules and they enforce them, but then you also have the owners of the prison. The problem with prisons are that they are difficult and expensive to police. The ones on the inside want to find a way out or at least anticipate for the day they get out. The ones that patiently wait are not the problem; the ones who plan to escape and get others to escape with them are the ones to worry about.
So what do you do when you want the “prisoners” to follow the rules? What if this world is a prison but the walls are invincible to us? What if our walls are the day to day work (jobs) we mechanically do? What if our prison wires, fences and potential threats are our religions wanting to make sure we must stay our “term” because after our “sentence” we are promised “freedom”? We are expected to accept our “sentence” and wait for parole or the release date when we move onto a better place, is this not what religions are saying? Or maybe we must wait for that “one” that will come to release us and save us from this sentence? So we must be happy with the “cells” we’ve got, eat the food we are “given”, learn the rules of the prison and one day we will be released or set free? Does this sound familiar to you?
Maybe the best way is to make sure this world doesn’t look like a prison at all. In fact, get the “prisoners” to accept their fate and even get them to love it, to fight for what they have now, fear losing what they already have and fight for their “freedoms”. Again that sounds very familiar doesn’t it?
I will quote a story out of a book I’ve read (Ouspensky-In Search of the Miraculous):
"There is an Eastern tale which speaks about a very rich magician who had a great many sheep. But at the same time this magician was very mean. He did not want to hire shepherds, nor did he want to erect a fence about the pasture where his sheep were grazing. The sheep consequently often wandered into the forest, fell into ravines, and so on, and above all they ran away, for they knew that the magician wanted their flesh and skins and this they did not like.
"At last the magician found a remedy. He hypnotized his sheep and suggested to them first of all that they were immortal and that no harm was being done to them when they were skinned, that, on the contrary, it would be very good for them and even pleasant; secondly he suggested that the magician was a good master who loved his flock so much that he was ready to do anything in the world for them; and in the third place he suggested to them that if anything at all were going to happen to them it was not going to happen just then, at any rate not that day, and therefore they had no need to think about it. Further the magician suggested to his sheep that they were not sheep at all; to some of them he suggested that they were lions, to others that they were eagles, to others that they were men, and to others that they were magicians.
"And after this all his cares and worries about the sheep came to an end. They never ran away again but quietly awaited the time when the magician would require their flesh and skins.
End quote.
This book goes into a lot of other things I don’t want to discuss here but this story tells us something about our current condition.
Who are the guards anyway? Were these “privileged” few given the task to control us? They interact directly with the owners of this prison and report to them. Who are the owners? It might be in the interest for them to keep us under control by any means possible. They might have technology and all the worlds’ resources at their disposal for this purpose. In fact the owners of this prison most likely have technology available to them that will make our “prison” technology look ancient. They can observe and affect us in many ways using this technology. It is very important for them to make sure we accept our walls and cells as real and distract us all the time.
To keep us occupied, we need to be kept busy too. We need to be kept “entertained” to distract us from what is REALLY happening here. Our multiple sport channels, 24 hour news feeds, work and “world events” all seem to make sure we are kept very busy indeed. Then there are the many who can’t afford all these “luxuries” and they are kept in a state of ignorance by just trying to survive, living from one day to the next. I wondered so many times why this world has reached such a state of utter poverty in many regions of this world. People are dying from malnutrition and treatable diseases, when we are supposed to have reached the most advanced state ever from a world development, scientific and technological advancement point of view.
While I was writing this article I was thinking of the best way I could end this discussion, but I can’t think of a way to do this. Maybe I should leave the questions unanswered for now and observe more, discover more, learn more? I think so many things have been put in place to distract an enquiring mind and there are also many wrong paths to deflect and misdirect anyone on the road of true discovery.
I don’t expect to find the answer “out there” anyway; I think it is very important to REALLY know yourself, where you are and what REALLY is happening around you. This requires a lot of work and dedication on the personal level.
