“Woke” or “Awake?”

Published / by Lee Kessler / 3 Comments on “Woke” or “Awake?”

Probably most people reading this will not consider themselves “woke.” That, frankly, is a term I wish had never come into our parlance. But, if you are “woke,” this is for you especially.

Most of you probably consider yourselves “awake.” I am sure you are. And, I hope that you are as well. But there are different degrees of “awake.” This Blog may help you increase your capacity.

Artists lead a culture. It is their vision and imagination which has, through time, helped people see what is possible, and what is necessary even. They see the world uniquely, and can help you see things that might be otherwise invisible, or perhaps overlooked.

I am an artist for sure. My field today is writing. Currently I am working on–and almost finished with the first draft of–the fourth book in the White King Series. It should be released in the fall, and it is the story of The Great Reset which is occurring on this planet today. Titled, “White King and the Seat at the Table,” the heroes you have come to love are tackling the entire package of who is doing this reset, why they are doing it, what they are doing, and where they are implementing it. And, more horrifyingly, what they intend for you and me.

So, my friends, I have some homework I suggest for you if you want to bring your “awakeness” to a higher level. You will need to find these three movies, for each is probably 30-40 years old. But, I am sure you can find them.

Watch them, in the context of today, not simply the context of the story line in its time 30+ years ago. See how prophetic they seem to you. See if they move you. See if you spot what today’s adversaries are doing. Characters and plot lines may change, but the underlying vision of those who have a different intention for our future than you and I hold for ourselves, remains true today.

Here they are: “Red Dawn” with Patrick Swayze, “Rollover” with Jane Fonda and Kris Kristofferson, and “Soylent Green” with Charlton Heston and Edward G. Robinson. Wake up calls, all of them.

In the coming Blogs I promise a sneak peek at the newest adventures of Andy Weir, Brian Washington Carver, and James Mikolas.

Here’s to being truly awake, all of us!!
