Finding Freedom In An Age of Confusion

by John Vibes, Derrick Broze (Contributor)

Being an activist can be a difficult road sometimes, but the righteous path is never easy. Most of us encounter the same struggles in our path, but these struggles are rarely ever talked about. When someone “wakes up” and realizes that our society is not free, it can sometimes lead to depression and confusion or alienation from family and friends. This is what happens when the whole world is mad and you are seeing clearly for the first time.

This transition can be extremely challenging, and to help make it easier, we are dedicating our second book to tackling these very personal issues that activists experience and offer solutions to help them overcome it.

Finding Freedom In An Age Of Confusion, will focus on the hearts and the souls of activists, truth seekers, and free thinkers. In a series of essays we will explore the human struggle in the search for freedom. We will talk about overcoming the depression, confusion and fear that can come along with understanding the circumstances of our present situation. We will also offer tools for action to deal with coming to terms with our crazy beautiful world.

This is the second of the 'Conscious Resistance' trilogy. I really enjoyed the first one because it was primarily about philosophy and defining terms related to Anarchy and Agorism. This one was still good, but a bit more airy-fairy. It's not a bad thing. It's just not so much my thing. The authors focus on peace, love and self esteem. They do go into some depth about how to effectively talk to your family and friends about this movement. This is quite helpful. The final section was more focused on strategies, called 'Tools for Action'. This included chapters on meditation, non-violent communication and eight ways to change society without politics, including opting out, being your own president, campaigning for philosophy, mutual aid groups, alternative currency, community gardens, alternative media and acts of kindness. All important and useful suggestions. The goal of this book was to encourage and inspire the reader to continue down the path of physical, mental and spiritual liberation. I think it does that. Now I'm off to read the third and final installment!
