Why It Matters
Graham Hancock offers a particularly powerful consideration in this 6-minute video. Although he is highlighting the criminalization of consciousness-enhancing plants, he explains the vital importance of personal sovereignty (that does no harm to others) and why human consciousness and human potential are being so violently suppressed.
Why should it be the case that a society is afraid of realizing human potential? It comes down to special interests. There are those who run things in society and there are those who are there to serve them and to serve their ends… Once we realize our potential, we don’t need elites anymore. Who needs elites? Who needs to be led?… We do not need leaders… over us telling us what to do… They have no right to do that. The moment we begin to wake up and start asking really profound questions about the nature of reality and about the society we live in, their power is instantly diminished.
