The Gem of Independent Thinkers



Note (July 11, 2010): since I published this piece, I have changed my opinion about the person mentioned in this article. I have observed him being angrily blameful of others, and this has turned me off from his way of thinking. I no longer recommend this person, after spending time studying his writing and realizing that he seems trapped in anger and blame of external forces (which is just another dogmatic box).

The true kings of this world are those who cast off the limitations of their own belief systems, and courageously open their minds to new possibilities and realms of knowledge. Then, they take action on their knowledge.

They ask questions in order to arrive at answers, and do not stop when the terrain of inquiry becomes uncomfortable. They keep pressing on, in the name of that highest of pursuits: the truth.

They push the boundaries, they sojourn into new lands of perception and experience, and expand the frontiers of their own vision. They decimate enemies of truth along the way, and stop for nothing.

They ask, they look, they seek, they find (hallelujah!), and some of them then come back to the masses still lingering in the cave, and communicate about their journeys and fantastic discoveries.

I will dedicate a section of this blog to such individuals, so that you and your family may benefit from their insights. One such individual is Jon Rappoport.
