A gentle, but firm Red Pill

A guide to helping a friend in their awakening

“This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill - the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill - you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes.” - The Matrix

Many of those who are awake are looking on at our sleeping friends and relatives with some frustration. Their continued torpor has the potential to be a threat to themselves and others, after all. But as the illusions of the Matrix falter and stutter, the truth becomes ever more apparent.

So much information, publicly available to anyone willing to go through the exercise of connecting the dots. Incriminating information. Anyone who connects those dots for you will quickly be struck down on social media. You will not see dot-connecting exercises in the main-stream media either.

Because of this, for the most part, such exercises are confined to the shadier parts of the internet, where free discourse still occurs without the oversight of big tech who seem desperate that people not cotton on to what is really happening.

For this reason, it becomes difficult to get people to accept some of the really great information out there. After all, people can post whatever they want on rumble, bitchute, or substack, and everyone knows that. Nobody is “fact checking”.

But even for some very sleepy people, recently things have started to add up in a way to the point that they’re thinking at the very least - “wait a minute, something doesn’t feel right anymore”.

I have friends and family in this stage right now, they’re at the point where they realise something is up, but don’t quite get it. They haven’t made the dive into the rabbit hole/swallowed that Red Pill.

But you can see it on them, they’re starting to think about it. Your outstretched hand, with the Red Pill on it, is starting to look like an attractive proposition. As the illusion continues to falter, they are at least starting to become curious:

What is the truth? What is really going on right now?

For those of us who have even begun to see the truth, we know that this is a huge question.

How do you help someone you care about through this process? After all, if you’ve been through it yourself in the last couple of years, as many of us have, you know that it’s quite the experience. It can leave you feeling like you’re going crazy, you need to be strong to face it.

What is the truth? I don’t intend to break all of what I think is going down right here, chances are I’m wrong about some of it, and chances are I’m right about a lot of it. It’s too huge anyway, it’d be enough to write a whole different article on, and I’m assuming you’ve already spent some time connecting the dots, and probably coming to similar conclusions as I have.

But as a brief summary, anyone who has spent some time connecting dots knows the sort of thing I’m talking about -

Conflicted interests everywhere, connections between companies and entities that shouldn’t rightly exist, and some very dark connotations around spirituality and even what it means to be a human being. Cover-ups about adverse effects of vaccines. Inflation of the risks of Covid. Lies, lies and more lies. The twisting of sexuality, and gender. The new definitions of words, and the words we are now no longer allowed to even say without sanction. Big tech quashing what they consider unacceptable views, rampant censorship and silencing of anyone who dares to to challenge The Narrative.

You know…all that “Welcome to 2022” stuff…

I’ve tried a few different tactics myself when it comes to this issue of helping your friends on their awakening journey, some of them certainly more successful than others. I’d like to offer my insights here.

1. Be mindful of the implications of the information you share.

Depending on the situation of your friend, try to be careful about what you’re sharing with them.

As an example, if you have an awake friend who is vaccinated, would you consider it good form to send them a lot of information on adverse vaccine effects all the time?

Personally, I wouldn’t.

It could scare them, upset them, make them worry about other people. It could cause them to retreat back into denial and the comfort of groupthink.

By all means, if they share it with you, go ahead and discuss it with them, they obviously want to explore it a bit.

Similarly, be mindful about the fact that the truth could mean major adjustments to their views on people or institutions they once held dear, or even loved. If you attack someone/something they love, they might be inclined to dismiss your attempts to help them altogether.

In general, before you share/send, take a moment to think “could sharing this information hurt my friend?”, and if you have any doubts, hold off. Let the conversation come up naturally instead.

2. Don’t get too extreme too quickly.

I’m sure you’d agree, there are many layers to what is happening right now. The deepest parts of the rabbit hole and the ultimate truths behind things is not only quite dark, but it sounds downright kooky to someone who hasn’t spent the time actually connecting the dots to realise that truth is indeed sometimes stranger (and darker) than fiction.

So don’t go crying out from the bottom of your rabbit hole telling them what’s down there at the bottom. Go and meet them partway up at least.

It’s a lot to take in all at once. Chance are you didn’t even do it that way yourself. Give them a chance to catch up.

I know for me, it was a bit of a gradual process to begin with. In the beginning, some of the wilder theories were rejected out of hand by me. But as I delved into things, I realised that some of the kookier theories were probably not all that kooky after all.

There’s a bit of an adjustment to your perception of reality required, to accept some of these things, give the person a chance to go at their own pace and come to peace with things as they go, it’ll be less traumatic on them that way.

I know it’s lonely at the bottom of the rabbit hole sometimes, and you’d like your friend to join you there. Remember though, it’s a long way down and you don’t want your friend to get hurt. Help them find a safe path.

3. Be gentle and gracious

For goodness sake don’t browbeat your friend into submission by barging into their mind as soon as there’s a crack in the door of their consciousness. That’s just plain rude.

Don’t be obnoxious, don’t say things like “I told you so”, or “I wish you had just seen sooner” or other things that say you’ve judged them for their sleepiness. You might be right in your views, but that doesn’t give you the right to be a jerk about it.

Remember you want your friend to be your friend at the end of their journey, not someone they know is right, but don’t like anymore because they were so bombastic about it all.

So try not to argue, try not to batter the person with your views, and if they argue with you, back off a bit and give them some space to process.

Above all, be respectful and mindful that the person has chosen to embark on this journey of truth with you. That in itself is a huge compliment, take it as such, and don’t let them down by adopting a superior stance.

Remember you’re on a quest to help your friend, not prove to them how right you were all along, and how wrong they were. Respect your friend through the process, acknowledge them for seeing the truth now rather than criticising them for not seeing it before.

4. Being gloomy and negative is not productive and potentially harmful

Yeah I get it, things are dark right now. When you see what’s at the bottom of the rabbit hole, it is downright terrifying and incredibly sad. I know it’s a struggle to deal with, because I struggle with it myself and many around me are in exactly the same boat.

But be mindful that your emotional affect can certainly rub off on others. Also be mindful that being overly negative about the situation is not likely to yield any major reward, but being positive will at least yield the reward of not feeling bleak all the time.

So, I know it’s hard, but try to be positive. I don’t know about you, but ultimately I believe that although we’ve arrived in a really dark place, and things are likely to get significantly worse before they get better, ultimately good is going to win, and that things are going to turn out alright. That’s a good belief to have, even if it flies in the face of rational thought.

Faith can help a lot of people at this point, so be especially careful about tearing down anyone’s spiritual beliefs. They are part of what anchors that person, be mindful they need that especially in these dark new times.

Be a beacon of hope, not a gloomy proclaimer of doom.

Try to support your friend emotionally through this journey, if you can. It’s a sad and difficult time, we all have to try to stick together and support each other. Try to be a good and supportive friend.

5. Don’t launch a bombardment of information

It’s really tempting when someone starts asking questions to hit them with everything you’ve got on the subject. Try not to to do that, especially in the beginning.

I get sent so much information by people that I literally can’t keep up, I don’t think I could keep up even if I spent every waking hour of my day on this stuff. Bear in mind too that your friend only has a limited pool of time.

So instead of hitting them with a barrage of information, instead send articles that summarise things, or pull together information from various sources in a convenient way. Make a bit of a user-friendly experience to begin with. If they ask deeper questions on some things, then it’s fair to hit them with more detailed information.

Respect your friend’s time and don’t send them information that you are not sure about yourself. It’s not going to help your credibility if you send them something that is quickly or easily debunked.

This means you really need to cherry pick out the articles and information you think fits the situation best and exercise some discernment on behalf of your friend, taking into account where they are on this journey.

Try to make the information you share concise, pertinent, and easy to digest. Resist the temptation to send all the material you have on the subject, instead send articles or summaries of the subject to your friend and just mention that you have more detailed information on the subject if it’s something they want to explore.

I hope these insights offer a structured view on how best to help your friends through the process of taking the plunge to take the Red Pill and join the rest of us in the somewhat bleak reality we face today.

I guess in closing I’d simply say that “how would you want someone to treat you if the situation was reversed?” applies very strongly here.

With practice, you might even become good at it. We need people who are good at it, the numbers are still a little out of whack.

Once we unify, it’s all over, so the process of Awakening is probably the most important part of all.

Good luck out there.
