" Whatever the area of conspiracy or spirituality or fringe thought in general, LKJ tends to keep herself and her community in the role of a uniquely valuable lone "lighthouse" shining a light into a world of darkness and doom, through the simple strategy of always having their own incompatible take on polarizing ideas of the day."

Spot the media manipulation pattern: The theme presented in the first (widely misused amongst the spiritual community) Matrix movie, gave most viewers an instance to question their own realities.

Hi Resilient, Thank you for sharing these interesting bits of info, all things I can learn from. I had a little laugh with the Mercury retrograde comment you made as that is relatable.

The latest David Icke response to his webshite being targeted by hackers states: ‘obviously not a bloke in his bedroom but a major player’ - Why of course it would have to be of great expense, to be somebody of note and great importance, with no female ever being able to fit the role of hacker. That’s one hilariously narcissistic and closed way of perceiving for someone who claims to have a

This is very interesting, thank you for the link. Of late, I have come to view the term, "X + leadership", or "leadership + X" as potentially coded language. How is that for paranoia!?!

Interesting you mention coaching conferences. There is an organisation that started in the UK called Common Purpose which is about leadership development. There was an attempt to expose the organisation about 10 years ago however those behind this turned out to be promoting their own far-right, anti-EU political agenda and built their attacks on the organisation into that. They also jumped

I googled Benjamin Fulford and he does seem to be quite involved with unsubstantiated conspiracy theories. Unfortunately I can't find any evidence for the stuff he claims. Personally, waking up to the fact that I was in a cult has led me on a journey to hone my critical thinking skills and I am less able to believe what someone says without looking for evidence to support their claims.

I distanced myself from some of the people in my life because of their weird obsession with David Icke.

How people like him attract so many followers (and their money) is beyond strange. He once claimed he&#

If "Truth is a Pathless Land" as JK Krishnamurti said then there won't be any initiates on the right or the left hand side of a path. Krishnamurti was reacting to the Theosophists' notion of "the path", which was dogma that had been drummed into him from an early age. In Desteni they talk about "walking the process" which is not dissimilar to being on the p
