Ordinary people possess enormous power. As Arki said (See Chapter 10) one of the greatest weapons that humans possess - thanks to their intelligence - is the power of inertia. It is a non-violent force and that is best, as violence breeds more violence. Christ said, ‘He who lives by the sword will die by the sword’.
In Beijing, China, a man on his own and unarmed was able to stop a tank with his presence alone. How did he achieve that❓ Because the soldiers in the tank didn’t DARE run him over, they were enthralled by the self-sacrificing act of the unarmed man.
Ghandi managed, on his own, to prevent terrible bloodshed. Lord Mountbatten himself realised that if he’d sent 50 000 troops to Calcutta, they would have been massacred and yet, Gandhi, one man, averted a massacre through non-violent means.
Once, in Arki’s planet, they blocked the roads with so-called ‘broken down’ vehicles: there were 10 000 of them. The police contingent knew it was done on purpose, but they couldn’t do anything about it. When the fire brigade or an ambulance had to pass, the people arranged to let them through by pushing their vehicles out of the way. They then pushed them back to where they were.
That is the power of inertia. They didn’t move; didn’t eat; didn’t scream. They were silent - confronting the forces of law and order. Obviously, they said, they would be more than happy to clear the road - but how could they, without mechanics…❓ The country was paralysed. They had no banners, no slogans, there was no shouting or yelling; just quiet defiance.
They waited to hear from their adversary, who was sinking deeper and deeper into his lies and deceitfulness. A letter had already been sent to the government, which was well aware of their demands and knew why they were there. The name of the person who sent the letter was Mr Citizen...
As Arki said, when 100 000 people calmly lie down on a tarmac, a railway line or in the streets and say to the police, ‘I wan’ t to go home, please take me home, I am ill, I beg you to take me home’, the police couldn’t possibly hurl tear-gas into a crowd of sick people, for no reason, could they❓
The outcome was quick to follow. The ‘fat financiers’, who carried much financial control in the business world (the stock market crash, the rise and fall of gold prices) and were in cahoots with the corrupt politicians, started to panic because they stood to lose millions of dollars in the market.
For every coin the people in the street lost by not working, they were losing hundreds of thousands. So, in the name of their sacred money, they had to do something - and the people won.
Little by little, you’re being conditioned. That’s what our extra-terrestrial friends are concerned about. You’re a human being, not a robot. WAKE UP NOW.
Have you ever wondered, just to give you an example, what would happen if the electricity went out in a supermarket with the new cash registers and the new barcode system of recording prices❓ The check-out assistants wouldn’t even be able to add up the goods - the codes on most articles would make it an impossible task.
Has it ever crossed your minds that the encoding stops you, the consumer from knowing the price of a tin of baked beans, unless you go through the list you’re given❓ But that’s an arduous task. So you are less and less aware of how much you’re spending and, imperceptibly, the financiers take control of your own money.
I knew a charming little shopkeeper who had a problem with his cash register. I arrived while it was being repaired. He sold me two articles at one dollar thirty eight cents each. It took him about three minutes to work out the total on a piece of paper, and he ended up giving me two dollars thirty four change from the five dollars I had handed him, simply because he’d lost the habit of making such a simple addition, even on paper.
He trusts the machine, as do thousands of others like him. People put their trust in credit cards and computers, they’re wrong because, imperceptibly, they’re no longer thinking for themselves, they’re letting the financiers add up for them. Imperceptibly, they’re no longer ‘in control’.
Are you ready❓ Right, a few lines up, I did an addition for you and explained that I’d bought two dollars seventy six worth of goods, and that the shopkeeper handed me two dollars thirty four in change from five dollars. Fortunately, you weren’t the shopkeeper, as I would have made you lose ten cents. I did that deliberately to catch you out.
If, however, you are among those who stopped when reading the paragraph to check the sum, then that indicates that you’re not easily led. If you fall into the second category, of those who didn’t check, you’d better change your attitude now. You’re a human being, containing a Divine fragment, be proud of it, and stop behaving like a sheep.
You’ve already read this book to the end, that’s wonderful in itself. Wonderful❓ Yes, because that shows that you are interested in more than just your steak and chips, hamburger, sauerkraut or a glass of beer. So there you go❗
