The answer is to be found in patience
One thing that ancient man had that we do not have is leisure. Now the common man of his day, whether he was a builder of pyramids or an agriculturist probably did not have much leisure but there was a very broad deep scholarly class particularly the priesthood, then the custodians of all knowledge, who not only had leisure but an infinite kind of patience….which also runs short with us This is the kind of patience which will permit a problem to be passed down through 20 generations without impatience. Observations and reflections were not carried out by small groups in a period of months, weeks or even years but became the projects of empires and of dynasties and of descents of families, so that one problem may have been labored over for a thousand years with each generation, each century bestowing its own fragment of further insight. Thus by observation, with great patience man accomplished much.
—Manly P. Hall, Zodiac & The Great Platonic Year
Those who have risen above us, filtered, strained and refined their power over us to a point where they can finally envision a complete takeover of the human race and the earth, have spent many thousands of years at it. They have exercised such patience in doing so. We must master this level of patience if we wish to stop them. I hope it won’t take thousands of years. But our commitment to freedom must be such that we shall be willing to devote those millennia and more.
