   ### - lol thaaat'll beee the daaay :)))   
      
   but is also same as it ever was really, nada's changed in 1000's of years,   
   it's what they've always done & do + they's had 1000's of years to perfect   
   it!   
      
   once ya 'knows' that tho' it gets interesting (sometimes) seein' how they   
   have'ta occasionally rush to cover shit up/smooth things over etc, the   
   'way' they do it being very revealing sometimes as to what's actually   
   going on rather than the way they's spinnin' it, kinda thing (is the kind   
   of strawberries a historian/psychologist/sociologist likes)   
      
      
      
      
   > bullshit is still king here in 2023.   
      
   ### - increasingly so, the more bewildered people are the easier it is to   
   manipulate 'em innit, it's a lesson in mass psychology & public   
   control/management: keep 'em worried, keep 'em busy, keep 'em poor and   
   struggling with their noses to the grindstone... keep 'em distracted and   
   they'll vote for youuuu!   
      
      
   > no place for believing anymore.   
   > hope is useless and well faith,   
   > good luck with that one.   
      
   ### - correct! all the above was the 'old' age/way of everyone going about   
   things with whole societies playin' follow the leader, trust the leader   
   and never question authority, to blindly follow not even knowing what yer   
   following lol... i mean, talk about everyone fumbling in the dark?!   
      
   the 'new' age (or era) just comin' up over the horizon though, is gonna be   
   an era of self-knowledge & knowing, of knowing rather than believing, of   
   finding things out for yourself instead of taking someone else's word for   
   anything... we're in a transition from everyone being told what to do, to   
   everyone knowing for themselves exactly what to do and how best to go   
   about doin' it...   
      
      
      
      
   > what's to do??   "do your best"   
      
   ### - always do yer best mate no matter what... but now is more a matter   
   of what 'not' to do and to resist doing, to deliberately not feed the old   
   ways but instead feed the new, it's all a matter of emphasis me old fruit,   
   what one consciously emphasises/ignores...   
      
   and WILDing is an example of the kind(s) of teaching to come, the only   
   instruction involved being a pointer of how to quickly get yourself to the   
   place (in awareness) where you can then understand everything for   
   yourself, where you can answer all your own questions and 'know' that to   
   be the truth + also know that you're not ripping yourself off/deluding   
   yourself; which in WILDing at any rate, is called the Midway Point ;)

   ### - (ahem, someone obviously didn't read the, erm, fine print? really   
   laffing haha) :))))
