Hello beautiful citizens of the world! Welcome and thank you for ta
king the time to listen and be here with me in spirit. I am here to talk to you about something of the utmost importance. If you are here reading this, you already have an idea. You can feel the stirring. You can feel the change- maybe you can even see others fighting the evolution and transcendence of their minds. You look at the news and you think to yourself: "This way of being is outdated." You feel in your heart that we deserve better than this, that we all deserve better. You want to see mankind move on to a higher calling that will bring health and prosperity, not only to man, but to the rest of the planet as well. Your looking around and seeing that a lot of people are asleep on their feet, being robbed by invisible hands called time. Hopefully, your feeling a little indigent at being prodded along by people that have no authority over you or your life. Maybe, all you have is a vague idea that you are being lied to. You have been told that power, your own personal power lies in your wallet, in your home, in your appearance, in THINGS. You have been fed pills, fast food, ci******es, diets, soda and low self-esteem by force most likely since the day you were born. You have been taught that greed and envy are desirable traits, and that you should always strive to be "better" than someone. You have been taught that you are not good enough on your own, you must constantly make up for your short comings. You have been told, through a systematic and evil-fed ruse, that you are alone. That you must purchase your life, your water, your food, your health from someone else. That you must use "debt papers" (cash is king) that represent HOURS OF YOUR LIFE to PURCHASE the right to exist on this planet, the right to have a family,the right to know joy. All of this is a facade, it is a disillusion. A relatively few people on this planet have become extremely greedy. They are what we may refer to as the "elite". They have designated symbols that represent "power", and convinced us all that giving them what they want will be better for us someday. They have organized not only a system, but our lives, YOUR LIFE, in a manner that funnels resources directly to them. This is the destructive force gone out of control, very similar to a cancer, multiply indefinitely and without hesitation or thought to the consequences. The truth is, you do have the power, insight, perception, and grace to battle this cancer. The truth is that NO ONE needs to be alone. We are all family, we are all connected, powerful and divine. The truth is all of the power you ever needed has always been inside you. There is no truth in your fear, worries, doubts, paranoia, depression, anxiety. Things we do to suffocate and silence our desperation are designed and implemented to be convenient, to keep us alive, and yet not fully alive. The pills, alcohol, food, water, and self image that is given us by force through advertisements and the law are meant to crush the creative force inside you, what I refer to here as your inner divinity. Why should YOU care? Why should you take any of this personally? This affects you on the most personal level possible. This is a battle, and your soul, your life, your happiness, your well being and most importantly, your FREEDOM are at stake. This, you, me, here, now is the shred of hope that we have left. This is the entirety of existence. The destructive force will take your last bit of freedom and anything else that you allow to be taken. There is something that can be done. Something to be done. Something every single one of us can and need to do. The first step is love. You must unlearn all of the hate you have been taught is how we interact with ourselves and the world around us. Don't hate the president, don't get angry at his newest law, don't take it out on your neighbor, don't stare in the mirror and wonder what's wrong with you. Don't hold a grudge, don't go to war, STOP LIVING IN THE PAST. If you are harboring hatred, you are living YESTERDAY, you are not HERE with US NOW, and you are not experiencing what the world is TRULY trying to offer you! Understanding is key to love, forgiveness, personal power, freedom, and the ultimate goal of self actualization. Wide Awake is an up-and-coming, revolutionary art magazine, but really it is a platform. It is a meeting place, a way to express ourselves and call attention to what we know is important. Wide Awake is based around encouraging our community to become more conscious, alert, and aware to our minds, bodies, psyche, family, homes, communities, country and planet. This is a place of love and support. Feel free to used the web-based platform as a discussion place or however you please, but the more art that is contributed the faster this can become a free publication and reach more people! I sincerely thank every one of you who believed in/helped create/contributes to this project. The love, joy and gratitude you have given me through your efforts knows no bounds. Now get out there and create, share, love, grow, live, and be free! After all, we are all becoming, WIDE AWAKE. Much Love,
Mini Snyder
