"Consensus reality" is not even a reality because we are all forced to live in a pseudo reality, a false matrix which was designed and created for the sole purpose of controlling humanity through repeated lies and deception; "principality" certainly means individual sovereignty and identity (or soulfulness) which was granted by a loving creator as a gift of life; the controllers or self-willed psychopaths of the world have long recognized the collective stupidity of the masses and set themselves up as the "new gods" who want us to own nothing and still be happy which IN REALITY means sacrificing our very souls for short-lived comforts; this is a strategy that is both anti-human and anti-life but as responsible parts of Creation we are guided in making the right choice; " I now ask you to choose between life and death, between God's blessing and God's curse, and I call heaven and earth to witness the choice you make. Choose life." (Deuteronomy 30:19)

"... self-willed psychopaths of the world have long recognized the collective stupidity of the masses ..."

They fail to recognise their own collective stupidity.

That is their Achilles heel.

Reading Transformations by Jubal Jepson, I recognize a journey that mirrors my own in many ways (https://unbekoming.substack.com/p/heresy). His awakening came through confronting official lies about history and public crises, and mine emerged inside the academic world, where dissenting voices were silenced under the cover of procedure. Jepson describes how an individual can break free from social programming and see reality with new clarity (https://unbekoming.substack.com/p/the-institutional-suppression-of). I understand that deeply, because my exclusion from Université Laval forced me into the same confrontation: to choose between silence or truth (https://unbekoming.substack.com/p/suspension-when-silence-becomes-policy).

His memoir illuminates the inner process of awakening, while my case shows the outer, institutional mechanisms that punish those who question (https://unbekoming.substack.com/p/rogueness-as-policy-the-new-normal). In that sense, our paths converge. I understand his awakening because it sheds light on my own — two different contexts, but the same refusal to surrender thought to conformity. Both stories point toward the same need: courage to resist erasure.

This sounds like a rare kind of book one that doesn’t just tell a story, but invites you into the very act of thinking differently. I love how it blends memoir, fiction, and philosophy to make questioning feel like a lived experience. The way you describe Jubal’s journey curiosity, courage, and intellectual liberation makes me want to pick it up immediately. ✨

There is a brilliantly insightful review of the book on Amazon by Charles P. Wikman, " An Artistic Creation Offers Profound Perspective on America".

might be precient to listen to latest from candace owen as she mentions the fake shooter tyler in conjunction to a valve company. as i believe now strong, covid is normalization and permanent installation of liquid VOC industrial solvent formula that makes the formula, float, coat and quickly off gas, for narrative control by mutagen/carcinogin, all using a coordinated valve system, tied to facial recognition, cell phone signals to release this clear gel mist, as a landmine system. So that targets always encounter high levels of chloro-hydrocarbonic VOC as a slow kill.

Excelnte!Reflexão profunda que vem abalando todas as estrututas que montam o mundo, assim como um palco de teatro ou circo. As mentiras e armadilhas estão em toda parte, é realmente uma destruição da ilusão que nos apresentaram como realidade. O sentimento de tristeza, revolta e coação é aterrorizante. Uma ruputura oprofunda que abala até a alma. Unico propósito se torna continuar na busca de resposta que possoam justificar o que realmente somos.

Gratidão! Paz para todos. Elciene

What a solid review. You caught the marrow of what Warren’s doing here — not just a story, but a living initiation disguised as memoir. The “documentary fiction” frame is genius because it mirrors the very process of awakening: fact and fiction braided until the seams vanish. And “Principality”? That word has teeth. A sovereign term for those who step outside the trance.

If I had one quibble, it’s that you made the ride sound a little smoother than it probably feels in the gut — questioning JFK, 9-11, and the whole house of cards is never tidy. But maybe that’s the point: the rough edges belong to the reader’s own journey.

Either way, you’re right — this one doesn’t just describe transformation, it can catalyze it. That’s rare, and you named it well.

I've noticed a lot of trans-formations going on... not only limited to Kylie Minoghue videos:).
