What do you put your faith in?.
Underlying pillars – spiritual practicalities.
COP27: fear and no communication with China – the stasis and farce.
The woke beartrap is why there are so many issues.
Respecting institutions and the pillars of society.
Mantras block critical thinking.
Circumstances – and meaning and link with spirituality.

How the Woke
is destroying our world and your business (and what to do about it)
1 Thessalonians 5:3, NIV: While people are saying, 'Peace and safety,' destruction will come on them suddenly, as labour pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.
Peace and safety
are the divisive guises that underpin EDI. Even the The Bible suggests destruction is coming on them deploying these strategies.
Implicit in digitalisation is standardisation and universality and becoming like our enemies to mitigate the downside.
Peter Thiel adds Egalitarianism’s excuse for failed elitism.
In 1994 I was a director of an auto manufacturing company and I noticed that it required real skill to be honest. The CEO was great at drawing generalisations from isolated incidents to beat up his executives and create a smoke screen for lack of process.
Wokeness, according to Eric Kaufman, is the sacralisation of race, gender and sexual identities, so if any way you speak out against these groups of the ideology, you have committed blasphemy centred around social cultural socialism: equal outcomes and psychological harm protection.
People are very open to having their attitudes shifted in their late teens and early twenties, so these attitudes will likely solidify, and so social culturalism is only getting started. So pay attention.
The truth is, Wokies are destroying everything. Your business. Our world. The economy. Our children’s futures.
So if you’re ready to get a grip and ditch the slave-minded shackles that have silenced too many CEOs (and their employees) for too long, then keep reading.
It's time to:
• question reality and reject corruption
• stop emotionally reacting to something you don’t understand for fear of being outcast or labelled
• learn how to read situations and identify blind spots and manipulation
• challenge the weird dialogue
• ask the questions no one else has the courage to
• and discover the real solution to fixing the woke fallout.
In short, it’s time to seek the truth. Woke is the parasite, not the solution.
And the enemy has a manipulative plan to silence us into inaction. But not everyone wants to be silent. We need you.
If you’re ready to start a much-needed dialogue into woke and stop its crushing ripple effect on your life, buy this book today.

Divide, destroy, and entrap without firing a shot.
I’m witnessing enough weird conversations and crashing outcomes to indicate CEOs realise that they might be out of their depth.
Figure 1 Source: Economist Nov 2022
In part, it's due to slave-mindedness
, which is rather like getting drunk and falling asleep on a train, rendering you unable to get off until the guard wakes you up at the final destination.
The challenge for many leaders now is how to regain the ability to get a grip and arrive at a destination of your choice.
Your perspective matters too: Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
Colossians 3:2 KJV
Christian principles produced a successful civilisation. So what do you now believe and what does good look like?
Take men: we are the gatekeepers of morality; we are the warriors who stand up against corruption and protect women and children. So, it’s convenient for those who wish to create problems to label us as toxic
to undermine the male role in averting corruption to keep society safe. This also undermines the male/female relationship that’s the crux of society - the nuclear family. The ultimate attack.
