Preparedness as a reaction to an authoritarian regime has a limited outcome. There's an explicit benefit to preparing for the worst outcome possible, however long term solutions do not come from fear-based reaction. To liberate ourselves entirely from this inhumane system we need to homestead the mind with localized solutions.
Are we mediating our subjective reality through the lens of the Matrix?
To live life in opposition to authoritarianism is a necessity, but an unexamined life is a tragedy.
Let us not take for granted that we exist in the New Age of Intelligence wherein Weapons of Mass Disruption are ubiquitous in the cyber-domain. To base our life on the tempo of narratives unfolding on the internet will be a tragic mistake. Rather than ignore the political theater or dictate our life by it we should contextualize the cycles.
We are tasked with challenging our role in powering up this inhuman system with our attention & energy. Is our connection to the establishment simply physical or is there a hidden psychological dimension? To what extent are we seduced by the convenience of the corporate matrix?
Are we truly ready to step outside of hyper-reality and reconfigure our subjective reality?

Often we see the need for immediate action in these dark times as dependent on large organizations, political climates and large sums of money. Rarely do we recognize that the system preserves the status-quo through fear, scarcity and deception. We have internalized the prison-mentality by constantly reacting to the Spectacle.
A cultural transformation of what homesteading means in its true essence can expand the horizons & lower the barrier of entry for most people. In practice this means to liberate our mind of limitations such as: scarcity, lack of time or crippling perfectionism. To live life outside of the matrix requires a fertile mind, to be fully present in the now and a desire to meet challenges with a peaceful mind.
Let us admit that we exist inside a plastic prison which shrink wraps the minds of men and beguiles us with convenience, superfluous luxury and transactional relationships. Homesteading the mind with fruitful & disruptive ideas leads to a new beginning outside of this cultural matrix.
What lies beyond the big conspiracy?

To begin life outside of this corporate maze individuals need to reclaim their energy, time and attention by exercising a mental diet which is exclusively focused on their localized reality. This is your point of origin from which your rational mind can deconstruct its self-imposed limitations.
In practice this viewpoint extends to a philosophical approach to redefine our role in relationships, in society and in our own personal narrative. The transvaluations of these personal values needs to go beyond a fear-based reaction, and breakthrough the social & parasocial compunctions.
The Fountainhead which flows from our imagination can set us free, empower us and bring us abundance but to climb this mountain individuals need to confront their desire to assimilate to the matrix.
