I could ask you to refrain from jumping on every bandwagon you see online, but you probably wouldn't listen, consider us even.

I just hate this whole notion of "waking up" since I've been "awake" from birth. The camp that goes around "waking" people up is no different than the camp that wants people to "sleep".
How about people just use their brains for once. Try not to be influenced by every fad, trend and rally that someone is trying to promote.
How about just using some basic communication skills in life? That is where void is. So OP, go to work, school or wherever, talk to someone you don't normally talk to and tell them what you honestly think of them. Tell them they stink, they are annoying, they are ________, whatever. See what they say in return. If you have nothing blunt to say to someone, find out the blunt things people want to say to you.
Once you get the nasty crap out of the way, it's a lot easier to deal with the people around you. Gets rid of all those passive aggressive tendencies that really slow progress down.
Communication. Honesty. Reality.
That's the real reason nobody wants to sit around a campfire singing kumbaya, half of us can't stand each other. The other half probably can't stand themselves.
The idea of "good" that people have in their heads is a made up one from everyone that has been manipulating you since you were born.
Sitting around "projecting positive bullpoop" is not going to do anything for mankind. FYI

Why do you even ask? Go look for it. Use your own initiative. This is your life. Live it consciously.
Every single thing you buy, you are supporting not only that product but the people and concepts behind it. If you don't like multinationals, don't buy their products. If you buy their products you support their cause and give them power to further infiltrate your life. Buying something from a small Mom 'n Pop business supports more local people on a grassroots level. If this is against your preference then simply do not buy it. Whether you like the product or not is not at issue. Support the concept behind it.
Now, if you want a very good, clean, basic cleaner for your teeth, get a couple of bottles of essential oil (which ones will depend on the condition of your teeth and gums) and make your own in a base of baking soda, a touch of xanthan gum, and a drop of honey.
Be more active in your life. Use your own initiative and your own will.
oh no, i understand now, you think im a part of that whole "wake up" trend that's been going on.
i have nothing against hippies or people who consider themselves enlightened, some of em are pretty cool.
i don't really understand that trend a whole lot much though,
but what im talking about in my original post is not 100% related to that trend.

It's not about ME.
When I believe in ME everything that I do is about ME.
When the business owner wants more money in his pocket, he thinks nothing of the livelihood that he takes away from others when he cuts the workforce.
When the woman falls pregnant and thinks about herself, a baby dies.
When the man decides to have an affair, he destroys his family.
ME is humanism, it is the beast, it is as anti-God as it gets in this world. You are, right, it does change the world - BY DESTROYING IT. ME thinks of nobody else, it's all about what I want and doesn't give one thought about others.
Also before anyone comments...I drink approx 20 cups of coffee a day.....that is my one and only source of real fluidation...

I wouldn't call them hippies. I'd call them Alex Jones listeners.
i don't know him, sorry.
anyway, who says that all hippie-ish people listen to one person? that would certainly make them non-hippies wouldn't it?
some hippies are really cool, anyway.
peace.
