I had the same awakening about a year ago, but not as profound, it was much more gradual. It's my personal belief that us (the general population)
have been deceived and manipulated for years, maybe centuries or millennium, and us here at ATS and others much shyer to admitting it have been
experiencing this "awakening" partly thanks to some other power (I don't like the words "higher power", the concept of a higher power embodies to
me the exact forces which conspire against us), but also thanks to some blunders which interrupt their plans, such as the internet. Personally I think
youtube is their worst nightmare.
Anyway, I think that we are now being coaxed out of this "sleep" because we're about to reach a climax. Someone or something is going to interfere
with our opposing force's plans and the two are going to clash, it's up to us to pick a side when the time comes. One side will be an enlightened
state which brings greater awareness, but also greater responsibility. The other side will continue ignorance.
To go a tad bit further on the note of coincidence. I'd say that almost every conspiracy theory and supernatural occurrence are related. Aliens,
UFOs, Ghosts, NWO, 9/11, JFK, Global Warming. I could go on and on, point being, I'm almost sure that it's all related, and we can hypothesize an
theorize all we want, but in the end, we will never know. Even after it's done and over, we will only have a piece of a single puzzle in the
universe's giant closet.
I'll leave you off on one thing ninja:
Our entire existence is a lie. Nothing you know is true and as long as you live you'll never understand it all. So don't trouble yourself too much
with the matter and enjoy your life to the fullest. Congrats on your awakening and welcome to ATS
