Welcome to Gaia! ::

hey madison. i just got here too. nice to see another new face.

it's awesome that your friend and you are on a journey of self-discovery. some things i've learned in my years of seeking:

-people will disbelieve you. people will call you crazy. they are afraid to look at the facts. double-check your sources, and your sources' sources. then you needn't be uncertain.

-the truth about reality can at times be stranger than fiction. keep a very open mind. that said, always double-check your sources, and your sources' sources.

-you'll spend a lot of time sifting fact from fiction. a lot of information out there is disinformation- deliberately false in order to mislead. there are people who work for the government and for private interests whose job is to create false information. they are very skilled at this, and have entire books written on the subject.

-the conspiracy is pervasive and well-orchestrated. these people have their grip on the world locked down solid. 95% of all the media we consume is owned by 6 corporations, and all of them are members of the bilderberg group. look them up.

-even when it seems like everyone around you disbelieves, remember that there are those of us out there who understand. we're all in this together.

-there is a higher self. there is an all-soul. there is transcendental peace. follow your heart and keep your mind sharp. all paths lead to enlightenment. rushing to it moves one further away. reward comes to those who are methodical and thorough.

good luck and blessed be
