Section1: A Dying Paradigm & The Ascent Of The Sovereign Individual
“Freedom means you are unobstructed in living your life as you choose. Anything less is a form of slavery”

The Evolutionary Challenge
You are probably reading this book because you felt drawn to experience more of something in your life... more fulfilment, understanding, meaning, purpose. Whatever motivated you to read these words is a result of something so much bigger of which you will begin to understand as we journey together through this book.
Individuals have found they have been facing monumental challenges in their personal lives as they struggle to make sense and cope with upheaval surrounding their:
Key facets that have made up our identity, for decades in some cases, are being called into question and for many it can be a very unsettling time. I can't tell you how many people I come into contact with who are experiencing significant challenges in one or more of these 4 areas. Through my personal difficulties I discovered I actually had an inner strength I didn’t believe was possible. It was this inner resource that allowed me to surmount some of my biggest challenges to date; albeit with the help of some incredible teachers. When I come into contact with people who are experiencing the difficulties associated with our collective evolution, I share with them what I am about to share with you...
“Challenges are our greatest teachers and represent the opportunity for accelerated learning in life. When you’re in the middle of an undesirable situation, it’s often difficult to picture a happy conclusion. Often it is not until we have passed through the scorching fires and weathered the harshest of storms that we are able to reflect back on the process with new eyes. Only from an evolved perspective can we recognise the lessons presented within an apparent nightmare. With this clarity comes the recognition that the gift lies the wisdom gained from acknowledging our lessons that come with passing through difficulties. The bigger the challenge, the greater the opportunity presented for self-understanding and transformation. We have to rise to life’s lessons and never under-estimate our ability to weather the storm and emerge stronger for it. If we’re not learning, growing and evolving then we’re dying from the inside out”.
The wisdom of the ages passed down through ancient scriptures, artefacts and indigenous traditions have indicated that Earth would experience a period of transition at this current time. Humanity would approach a fork in the road which would present the opportunity for our accelerated evolution and this time has now arrived. Part of this evolutionary challenge is to reclaim the power we lost to the various systems of social control; at the same time to bring to awareness our subconscious programming so that we can attain sovereignty over these hidden parts of our identity. When we make the decision to do this, and it is only a decision, we allow ourselves to expand into a greater sense of self. We become enlightened, powerful and free to consciously choose the ideas and beliefs that direct the patterns of our inner forces.
The Spell Cast On Humanity
Let’s ask ourselves a few key questions so we can begin to conceptualise the systems of social control and programming that I’m suggesting.
These systems of social control perpetuate and enforce an “official reality program” upon humanity to the extent that those of us in the West believe we are sovereign beings with individual thoughts and beliefs. In fact the very opposite is true. You may have a hard time accepting that your thoughts and beliefs aren’t strictly your own. I certainly did I did when I first came to this realisation. No one wants the embarrassment of discovering that they are being manipulated in such a way that they maybe aren’t as sovereign as they had thought. We like to think of ourselves as being in control and fairly switched on but for the majority this is sadly not the case. However with something this important, given the choice between upsetting my ego and living an illusion of freedom, I’d gratefully take a bruised ego any day!
Let’s explore how this system of control has weaved its spell on the human population.
You may think that there is nothing amiss with the ideas and beliefs propagated by official outside authorities who maintain the systems of today’s society.
Authorities such as
In fact the very structure of our daily lives relies on these “experts” figuring everything out for us and telling us “how it is” or “the right thing to do”. Our ability to look after ourselves is continually undermined by the overall system of control comprised of these various compartmentalised institutions. Through these authorities we have been taught and conditioned NOT to look at the bigger picture, about what reality really means and the purpose our existence may hold. Heaven forbid the implications of people connecting to a deep sense of purpose in their lives and searching out the meaning behind their existence... it could result in people opening their minds to greater possibilities for themselves and opening their hearts to greater meaning in life. If this were the case the system of control would collapse like a house of cards.
To ensure the system’s survival, it teaches us from a young age that such questions as the meaning of life are unimportant or unanswerable. Instead we are taught to follow the rules as set by the majority and think as our parents had thought and their parents had thought, perpetuating this deeply embedded subconscious programming throughout generations.
We have to ask ourselves
• Why such censorship exists?
• How did this system of control come to define reality for us and urge us to never define reality for ourselves?
• Who might benefit from teaching generations of people not to question authority or the ideas upheld by authorities?
Conformity: The Jailer of Freedom
core subconscious belief systems, as dictated by the official view of things, are where all our other beliefs emerge. Because our beliefs operate at a subconscious level most people aren’t consciously aware of their belief system and essentially live their lives on autopilot. What this means is that these subconscious programs direct most people’s thoughts, actions and behaviours rather than them consciously choosing to direct them. Sadly, the result is a human population that is largely disempowered believing they are the victim of external forces beyond their control. Our subconscious programs dictate the workings of our physical, mental and emotional systems, so in turn we become victimised by the power they have over us. Essentially the human population has become like a herd of sheep unable to think independently outside the pre-determined boundaries and programs of consensual reality.
For the sake of transparency...
Before we go any further, I want to acknowledge that what I have just mentioned and am about to expand on may be uncomfortable to accept. This is perfectly understandable. However, I believe that in order to forever transform the understanding we have of our self and bring about the life experiences we truly desire, we need to get right to the root of the issue. I’m not expecting you to blindly accept these conclusions as that in effect would be selling you another belief system. The purpose behind what I am about to share, is to get you to ask some questions you may have never thought to entertain before. An open mind will be required in order for you get the most value from this eBook. The hope is that the proceeding paragraphs will resonate with you at a level beyond the initial surface reaction; that they will spark your curiosity and urge you to do your own research and reach your own conclusions. The journey of self discovery and mastery becomes so much more rewarding and energising when you connect the dots for yourself. I have put a link at the end of this section which will kick start your pursuit of knowledge and enquiry to assist with your self-mastery.
The motivations behind any organisations’ strategic decisions are principally acquiring more profit (leverage to expand) more control (larger market share) and therefore more power (influence over the market).
At the top of the hierarchy you have the board of directors who make up a comparatively tiny number when compared to the entire organisation. They make the strategic decisions and have access to privileged market information which they may share with the directors of the company. Together the board and directors determine the best direction for the organisation to take. The guys in the board room have what I call “Capstone Knowledge”. The relatively tiny few at the top of the pyramid structure who have full knowledge and vision of the organisation and marketplace so can therefore determine which direction the organisation needs to go in to achieve their goals. After collecting and acquiring market information obtained from the lower levels of the pyramid, the board make informed decisions which will allow for them to increase profits so they can expand and control more of the market. The CEO is then responsible for taking the company towards these goals and his senior directors do the same within their respective area of responsibility (marketing, risk and compliance, finance etc). The senior managers within these respective areas then make the necessary changes at the operational level to meet the boardroom agenda. However, as you travel down the organisational hierarchy each level is privy to less knowledge than the level above. For example by the time the agenda reaches the functional workforce at the base of the structure (who make up a majority of the organisation), they have little, if any idea of how their individual responsibilities relate to the purpose of the agenda set in the boardroom. Very few think to question the impact of their individual responsibility on the bigger picture as we have been conditioned not to question authority and those in positions of perceived power.
Just to summarise the above:
Holographic Pyramids: Structures of A Broken Paradigm
The hierarchical structure of knowledge and ignorance permeates all levels of our 
knowledge that would allow full understanding at the lower levels of the Holographic Pyramid. Many would argue that our knowledge as a species has expanded over the centuries so how are we being kept in ignorance? While our intelligence seems to have evolved in many ways since our predecessors, unfortunately the same can’t be said for our wisdom and wellbeing as a whole. The consensual opinion is that our standard of living has greatly improved over the past century which gives the illusion that we have evolved. Yes, we have more freedom and privileges than previous generations but has the quality of our lives improved?? Increase of cancer, mental illness, stress, depression, addiction, suicide, apathy, violence, corruption – it’s a heavy price to pay for the privilege of being able to consume more material items which we have been conditioned to believe reflects our personal evolution!
What is important to take away from this sub-section is that throughout history, there has always been a hierarchy of knowledge and subsequent ignorance in human civilisation. The idea of a global pyramid structure of control is difficult to comprehend as it’s been complicated by compartmentalised institutions in society which appear completely independent of one another. They are actually interdependent at the highest levels within the respective institutions. The control system’s agenda is to keep humanity distracted, ignorant and placated so they are happy to continue to serve and operate within the imposed limitations. In the meantime those with Capstone Knowledge benefit from the ignorance of the masses in terms of profit, power and control. It is our ignorance that allows for the system to expand and impose itself on increasing areas of our lives through its various institutions.
Consider, it would be near enough impossible to get the human population to agree to serving this
system if it were transparent and sought our permission for participation. Just imagine it...
All we want in exchange for this experienced illusion of freedom is for you to continue serving the system until you’re no longer capable of serving it. At this point, depending on how proficiently you have served us, you may get to retire and spend some of your later years having the freedom to live as you wish, albeit still within our imposed limitations. However we must warn you that this outcome is unlikely as statistics show that most will spend their retirement in poverty and as many as 80% will leave this world without ever accomplishing their dreams. We’d like to extend a formal invitation to you, what do you say...are you up for it?”
Society wouldn’t quite exist in the same way would it?!
You can’t physically control 7 billion people and get them to comply with a system that is not remotely in their interest. The only way this is possible is by subtly controlling their perception of reality and themselves so they willingly acquiesce with the system of control and its agenda.
This is the primary function of our mainstream media which includes TV, movies, newspapers, magazines, radio is to feed us a mediated version of reality that suits the system of control. They propagate and circulate mainstream beliefs and perspectives that serve the control system’s desire to promote ignorance amongst the population whilst satisfying their insatiable hunger for profit, power and control. It’s interesting to note, that at the time of writing this plans are being put into place to regulate and monitor the internet. The government have openly admitted to the public that they are losing control of the information battle (people in their millions are being drawn to alternative media to find out what’s really going on in the world) and this can’t be allowed to happen if the people are to be kept asleep and in servitude. So the threat of cyber attacks is being sold to the public in order to justify a reason to monitor and censor information on the web. Fairly soon web surfing will no longer be a private activity and sites posing as a threat (to the system) can be closed down under the new internet censorship laws that would be signed into place. This would potentially include alternative news sources that are exposing and de-compartmentalising the global system of control and its infringement on human freedom.
Time For A Reality Check
We are taught, just as our parents were, that all that we are is what exists between the top of our heads and our toes. All this time we have been trained to doubt the self, fear the self, punish the self and to place our trust in the authorities and experts outside of ourselves. A paradox exists in that we are taught to yearn for power yet to question our ability to handle it wisely. Emotion is a power which is inherently ours so for that reason we are taught to negate, fear, devalue, disown and discredit intuitive perception and knowledge. Hmmm... does it sound like our mainstream institutions are designed to help us to become empowered or free. This programming has led us to the situation where the majority believe that what is on the outside is more important than what is on the inside. We are continually encouraged to distract ourselves with the “more important” external aspects of reality.
Are we encouraged by our mainstream program to look within for answers, to discover our own innate power to create change in our lives or to spend time exploring the great phenomenon that exists between our ears?! The average person is too busy, overburdened or distracted to take time to explore the self; everything else seems “more important”. And many are far too intellectually smug to admit the self is a great unknown and too frightened to approach the concept with an open mind.
If you reminisce to your school days, you’ll recognise that you were trained to accept the perceptions of others as being more valid than your own and to appease at all costs. I am of the belief that our mainstream schools were designed to squelch creativity and personal identity to create “good little students” who obey their teachers and follow the rules. Then we enter an economic structure that further programs us to obey the authorities, work for others and allow them to benefit in unfair proportions from the investments of our energies and labour. Basically we are taught that in order to survive, we must either please others at all costs (because they hold our power) or fight our way through the system to make it (and forcibly reclaim our power).
Sacrifice the self, serve others, work hard, make more, buy more... compete, push produce.
When it’s all spelt out like this, it seems like utter madness doesn’t it? Yet, these are the hidden belief programs we are encouraged to adopt from cradle to grave. We have even been programmed to create disease in the body and only in recent years have people come out to tell us that we have the power to change the program and make better, healthier idea choices (Big Pharma is on its way to being a trillion dollar industry and its profits depend on our sickness and disease). Why has no one within the mainstream taught us that thoughts are the foundation of our physical, mental and emotional wellbeing and that ultimately they create our reality?! This is of huge importance to our expression of freedom and it’s an empowering concept which we’ll delve into in the next section.
The Hope Of A Better World
In relation to what our mainstream consensual reality teaches us, we have to remind ourselves of why it is important for us to become self determined if we are to break free from this disempowering program. The hope of a better world for us, our children and future generations depends on it.
I think you’ll agree the answer is a categorical no. The absence of these qualities is based on fear and scarcity, the polar opposites of love and abundance – 2 qualities every single person in this world responds to positively on some level. We have been living in an age of fear and darkness because of a lack of knowledge and yet you can sense a collective yearning for this to change. It’s far from natural to live a life where dis-ease, disharmony, corruption, violence and injustice are the norm. There has been an explosive growth in alternative media and researchers who have dedicated their lives to exposing the knowledge kept from us have experienced great success in the past few years. This is an extremely positive indication that the wisdom of the ancients is indeed playing out. We are at the early stages of a global shift that is picking up pace as the months go by. Collectively we are starting to seek a deeper understanding of who we are and the world we live in. The system of control can only function on a foundation of ignorance and fear and its days are numbered, the old paradigm is dying despite its increased efforts to retain their control.
Ignorance will give way to knowledge, darkness will give way to light and humanity will awaken from its hypnosis, break free from its shackles and remember who it is. To understand why this is almost a certainty requires a basic understanding of the principles of energy which we will explore in the next section.
At the beginning of this section we identified that...
“Part of our evolutionary challenge is to reclaim the power we lost to the system of control and bring into our awareness our subconscious programming and attain sovereignty over these hidden parts of our identity. When we make the decision to do this, and it is only a decision, we expand into a greater sense of self. We become enlightened, powerful and free to consciously choose the ideas and beliefs that direct the patterns of our inner forces”.
We are each responsible for our personal evolution and with this commitment humanity can heal itself and bring about a world in which:
We are the change the world needs. Up until this point you may have been imagining who is going to be responsible for changing the program of the old paradigm – Governments? Religions? The doctors and scientists? The bureaucracies? These are the very organisations and institutions that stand to benefit the most from the current consensual program of beliefs.
When people can lead themselves they do not need leaders, when people can heal themselves, they do not need healers. When people realise that “God/our creator/universe/source of universal intelligence /spirit” exists within us and that we exist within that force, they will not need others to save them.
A global transition and awakening is taking place, presenting us with the opportunity to discover, comprehend, change and heal the base belief program within ourselves. This is the responsibility of each individual whose life is immersed within and controlled by that program. Each person’s successful liberation from the base program makes it easier for the next person to succeed and together we can create the change we want to see in the world. If at this stage you’re not sure if your contribution can make that much of a difference, it can! Through a phenomenon known as the 100th monkey syndrome...
100th Monkey Syndrome: How Change Happens
(Below excerpt taken from www.i-change.biz)
this new way and they taught their mothers too.
This cultural innovation was gradually picked up by various monkeys before the eyes of the scientists. Between 1952 and 1958 all the young monkeys learned to wash the sandy sweet potatoes to make them more palatable. Only the adults who imitated their children learned this social improvement. Other adults kept eating the dirty sweet potatoes.
Then something startling took place. In the autumn of 1958, a certain number of Koshima monkeys were washing sweet potatoes -- the exact number is not known. Let us suppose that when the sun rose one morning there were 99 monkeys on Koshima Island who had learned to wash their sweet potatoes. Let's further suppose that later that morning, the hundredth monkey learned to wash potatoes.
THEN IT HAPPENED! By that evening almost everyone in the tribe was washing sweet potatoes before eating them. The added energy of this hundredth monkey somehow created an ideological breakthrough!
But notice: A most surprising thing observed by these scientists was that the habit of washing sweet potatoes then jumped over the sea...Colonies of monkeys on other islands and the mainland troop of monkeys at Takasakiyama began washing their sweet potatoes. Thus, when a certain critical number achieves an awareness, this new awareness may be communicated from mind to mind.”
As we continue to journey through this book, you’ll find out how we are part of something so much bigger than ourselves and how you can use this awareness to break free from the disempowering program we’ve been subjected to and go on to fulfil your potential by living as the incredible you.
