You’re going on a cross-country trip. Airplane, train, bus, car, or bike?

Once upon a time, people used to feel deeper. They had sharper intuition. They were able to transmit their thoughts not only by look or by vibration, but also by telepathy! In those days, we communicated without mobile phones, tablets, or social media like Facebook and Instagram. We didn’t need platforms like X, TikTok, Viber, or WhatsApp either. And  believe me, I am not at all “old-fashioned!” That etiquette has been introduced by the same so-called “people” who managed to introduce thoughts in our everyday life to hide their plan of enslavement. Their methods are explained below.

“In order that the masses themselves may not guess what are we about, we further distract them with amusements, games, pastimes, passions, people’s palaces…. Soon, we shall begin through the press to propose competitions in art, in sports of all kinds… These interests will finally distract their minds from questions in which we should have to oppose them. Growing more and more disaccustomed to reflect and form opinions on their own, people will begin to talk in the same tone as we because we alone shall be offering them new directions of thought… of course, through such persons, as will not be suspected of solidarity with us.”

This was written near the end of…. XVIII century! Before amusements such as the Olympics and other games came into existence. 

So, then things were slower but had substance. Substance that helped clear the atmosphere for the human mind. Then, the search for the purpose of existence was easier, inspirational, and real fun! We used to write and send letters instead of instant messages. Those letters took time to reach their destinations. That allowed thoughts to settle, leading to more wisdom appearing.

Education was more meaningful than the dry, dulling material we face today. It was an education that promoted creativity and dreaming. Sharpened intuition. Education then was first overall and imaginative, and then specialized. Just think about simple lessons of geography… Reading books was promoted and widely discussed. Today, we have some best-selling book lists channeling us to read those books. Other books are forbidden for promotion and cunningly hidden under the shelf to collect dust. That is why philosophyofgoodnews created DUSTY BOOK CLUB. With only six dollars, you become a member. You qualify to receive 2 “Dusty books” a month or twenty-four books for twelve months!

One needed to introduce, to produce original ideas, and to become a Master of any science. This is even more essential for a doctorate. Then, the candidate would present the work. The candidate had to defend it in front of the specialized commission. These wide-open eyes, scientists had the same experience themselves and had already contributed to the world of original ideas, in all the fields. The system, that “on foot” one had been made to advance humans deep and wide!

We were doing things slowly, with human touch.

And then the alienation appeared. Actually, it was introduced to us under the cloak of modernization…… As we can see, it was received beautifully deep and wide and, worst of all, allowed to take root. It was always there. It awaited the chance to enter our lives. While subtly introducing a new “industrial revolution,” it sought to divide us from other fellow human beings.

That is why whenever you can, whenever you find courage, do a cross-country trip on foot once a year! Of course, you can hitchhike on the road, so that you don’t get tired walking too much. On that “on foot” road, talk to people. Be open and cautious. But remain genuine. The universe will have a beautiful surprise for you.

Why?

Simply because you will understand that there is no encounter happening by chance when you are genuine!

That will ennoble you, clear your mind, show you the way, and make you happier. It will change you from being dependent on sweet lies to becoming self-reliant!

You will escape all planted malicious manipulation, and yourself become a flywheel for others!

On foot, you will awake and win! We will win back ourselves and make humanity prevail!
