Step three:

Do something about it.

None of it is a movie for you two watch the scenes of go by. This Universe is something you're part of, not apart from. Know it. Understand it. Be it.

When you understand what is keeping you asleep... make a choice to not accept what is being fed to you. The sleeping pills shrouded in false senses of security. Reassurance in your government. Your locked windows. That padlock. The lights being off.

None of it is real. And just knowing that, you have a lot more power than you're letting yourself possess because you've been so desensitized of being in control. Why is that? Because you've been controlled your entire life.
The playgrounds weren't there to entertain you during recess, they were designed to harness your fear and get you used to predisposed obstacles for you to struggle to conquer. But all you really did was condition yourself to the prison they had planned for you. Not a prison like a penitentiary but one that you cannot feel or see or taste or touch. An infinite and evilly devised microcosm-net built to look like you need it.

To better let your mental immunity fight it, you need to identify it completely in all the nooks and camouflage it comes in. Economy, education, government, vehicle, home, carpet, desk, computer, internet, couch, family reunion, tupperware, insurance, daycare, 401k, retirement, pharmacy, birth control, hunting, cell phones, state borders, home security, patriot act, and census. You could probably fill in the rest.

Understand the reasons you're told they're all there and in their place in your life but allow yourself to explore the reasons they don't tell you why they're there.

Explore by taking off all the safety precautions you have on the way you think. All the biases you previously had, all the prejudices to information you've kept, let it all go. Let the doubt belong where it always should have been; in your oppressors. Become a skeptic but with a heavy influence of optimism. Stop believing entirely. Take every bit of information you happen upon with the conviction of a skeptic. Keep track of how coincidental it all seems when you stop and think about it... put together all the erroneous traits of the reality you've been given. Create the map of where you really are in all of it... Create the landscape of your prison. Notice all the lies and accoutrements.

You now look like you want to wake up.
