10 Pieces of Advice I Would Tell My Newly Red-Pilled Self

Strap in - waking up to the Matrix is going to be a wild ride

I was always a curious mind growing up, and fairly rebellious, too. Authority and I never mixed well. I remember reading the philosophies of Carl Sagan in high school and watching the Zeitgeist documentary on the computer in my English class (teacher didn’t know, bless her heart - but it was for an assignment!).

When I was about 20 years old, circa 2011, I really started diving into researching the Real World. The Occupy Wall Street protests were in full swing, and boy did I want to see the fiat currency system crumble (little did I realize at the time that Occupy Wall Street was probably controlled op funded by the banks). I was also waking up to the Big Pharma scam: vaccines, fluoride, GMOs and the like. This was catalyzed by working at a health food/supplement store. And I started looking into suppressed energy and propulsion technologies, the Illuminati cult, and so much more. One rabbit hole led to many in a short period of time, and boy was that a doozy.

My red-pill process hit hard and fast. Family and friends started thinking I was nuts, and unfortunately there weren’t many places to go to find like-minded people like there are now, no mentors to guide me. It was lonely for while. I made many mistakes and believed many silly things, and if I could go back a decade and a half ago I’d slap my bitch ass upside the head with some sense.

If I could write a letter to my 2012 self with 10 pieces of advice to navigate the Great Awakening, here’s what those pieces of advice would be:

1) It’s Gonna Take A While
I know you’re scouring those websites and believing certain influencers who claim “mass arrests of the Deep State are right around the corner!”. Be careful of those people who claim to have inside sources, it will be a constant problem in the Truth/Disclosure circles for years to come - “big things are about to happen on this date”, arrests going on, GITMO is full, etc. - you will hear it all, and their claims will fall through time and again. It’s pure hopium from grifters looking for fame and money. Undoing this Matrix is a marathon, not a sprint. It took generations and decades of corruption to get here, if not centuries, and thus this Great Awakening and the destruction of the Powers that Be will take a while. Plus it must be done so carefully as to avoid blowback, societal collapse, and humans going insane from cognitive dissonance. Instead of focusing so much on the outcome, focus on the process to get there and learn to enjoy the journey. I know you’re impatient now, but you’ll look back in 10-15 years with a grander perspective and realize that this all is actually happening quite fast.

2) You Can’t Make The Horse Drink
As they say, you can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make them drink it. The more you try to force someone to wake up to a topic and see your side of things, the more they may resist and lash out against your efforts. Do your best to plant a seed in their consciousness that will hopefully sprout one day, but don’t get attached to the need to wake other people up. That’s their own choice to make. Don’t be hard on yourself over someone else’s journey.

3) You Will “Lose” People, And Gain Others
As you change your mind and change your behavior, relationships will inevitably change as well. This is the nature of life. You may become distant to friends, family, business partners, and others because of the beliefs you are reworking in your mind, and some of them may choose to end their relationship with you altogether. Just don’t throw away any of those friend or family relationships because you don’t see eye to eye anymore, it’s not worth going full excommunicado just because of differences in belief. Hold space for them, and do your best not to get bothered or hurt over the changing relationships. Now, if they are genuinely trying to harm, abuse, or insult you because of your newfound beliefs or questioning of theirs, then it may be wise to leave their asses behind. Don’t worry, know that there will be others you meet along the way whom you will find a deep connection with because of the magnetic, mental attraction, because you’re on the same page - and they might feel like spiritual family. People will come and go, appreciate them all and what they helped to teach you about yourself.

4) Don’t Be An Arrogant Bitch
You may feel a sense of superiority thinking that you’re the Awake one and other people are lesser than you because they don’t “get it” yet, this attitude happens to many people who start waking up. Even if someone isn’t “on your level” with certain subjects, there can still be plenty to learn from them, and there’s plenty to learn about yourself in your own triggering. Shadow work is crucial, and working on your own psychological growth and humility is a never-ending endeavor, just because you’re “Awaken” doesn’t mean you’re automatically a great, enlightened person. In fact, sometimes it takes people backwards.

5) Use The Internet, Asshole
I know you’re online researching all kinds of conspiracy theories, but you’re not posting anything to social media or using that wonderful tool we call the internet to do much else! Don’t be paranoid of those platforms. Yes they may be harvesting your data, but there’s ways to mitigate that - and in a few years time there’s going to be a huge, growing industry of citizen journalists leading the charge in destroying the mainstream propaganda Matrix. Use this internet tool to share information to try and help wake up your fellow man, and also use this tool for personal and business growth. You’re going to lose out on 3-4 years of sharing information and growing your career because you’re ignoring and afraid of social media. Don’t bother with what other people superficially think about you.

6) But Make Sure You’re Using The Internet Wisely
I know you’re getting lost in conspiracy theory research, and spending ungodly amounts of time on it. You know how you can get lost in digging 2-3 hours a night, every night, for months on end? You smoke a joint and get on your computer. A lot of that research is good, for sure, you do want to be educated, but add all those hours up. 60, 80 hours a month? 1000 hours a year? That’s 60 waking days. Make sure some what you’re researching is valuable and applicable, and use some of that consumption time for production. I know you’re digging into health subjects you can use at the health food store you work at, but make sure you learn about more stuff you can use to succeed. Learn how to use a video camera, develop a website, or run some social media ads. Useful life skills, too - getting better at fixing things, building things, growing food. You have a whole life ahead of you to watch documentaries and listen to podcasts about pet interest subjects.

7) Save Your Stuff Better
I know you’re coming across a lot of golden content, videos, and blogs with incredible information, make damn sure you save it. You’re lucky right now, social media isn’t being censored, search algorithms haven’t changed, and your feeds aren’t watered down - but that is coming. Don’t take it for granted. All those obscure blogs you’re coming across, bookmark them. Heck, even print off those articles on paper because those websites might not exist in 5-10 years time. And if you come across any PDF versions of solid esoteric books, save them, even get yourself a dedicated external hard drive purely to hold this data. Create your own library! It will be incredibly valuable one day.

8) You’re Going To Be Wrong, A Lot
Breaking free from the Matrix requires quite a bit of unlearning and relearning, and the relearning part means that there will undoubtedly be silly things that we believe for a brief period of time while we get our bearings and refine our discernment. Just because the mainstream media says something, doesn’t mean you should believe the opposite - and on the flip side just because your favorite “truther” influencer says something doesn’t mean you should believe it, either. Case in point, never knee-jerk believe a headline or comment without doing your due diligence on it, no matter where it comes from. And on that note, there are tons of opportunists in the truth movement looking to sell a narrative for clicks, fame, and money. Continuously work to hone your critical thinking, that’s the most important part.

9) Don’t Date Dumbasses
Pretty self explanatory, this one. Don’t waste your time dating and getting into relationships with people you don’t see eye to eye with. If they just don’t get it, it will be a struggle no matter how attractive they are. Also to note, just because a person does get it, they’re “red-pilled” on certain subjects like you are and you’re all excited, that doesn’t necessarily mean the relationship you have with her is going to be a good one! Just focus on your own physical/mental growth, and being your own authentic self, and the right one will come along.

10) Don’t Disconnect From The System
There’s a natural stage people go through waking up where they want to completely disconnect from the system - say fuck it all and go live in the woods. Hey, maybe not such a bad idea. But if we want to build a better world for the future generations, you are going to have to learn to live within the system while building new systems at the very same time. That means, don’t avoid bank accounts, money, driver’s licenses, local government happenings and all the other “3D” crap. It is crap, but your soul chose to be born on this planet at this time, and you’re going to have to deal with it. Invest that money you have under your mattress, don’t just let it sit there. Use these Matrix tools sparingly, and when necessary. They might be a pain in the ass, but they aren’t inherently evil. It will only make your life more difficult to avoid these things, and disconnecting from it all and not working to change society is exactly what the Powers that Be want.


You’re on the right path, past me. Learn from this process so in the future you can share what you’ve learned with people who are going through their own Awakening journey.

In truth and love, 2025 Jordan.
