The saying (often attributed to Mark Twain), ”It’s easier to fool a man than to convince him he’s been fooled.”
I read a lot! And I recently read a Substack from a prolific writer that I follow and she stated “I don’t know what else to write about. In all of this chaos I need to refind my voice.”
Her words struck me and stuck with me and also helped me to say to myself “Look at what’s actually in front of you, not for what you want to see. Not at what is being politicized or the flavor of the day.” This is an important part of moving forward in life and something we all might want to start embracing in order to move forward in this new way of living.
Cognitive Dissonance seems to be the new normal and I see it as “deception du jour” or another term I’ve heard is “stubborn ignorance.”
Remember: Curing diseases is not profitable!
How do you test for something when the something is untestable? This has been my question for the last few years. There are venues that are still requiring people to show a negative test, which I have never done nor will ever do, to participate in these social experiences. And my question is still the same. How does this so called test or procedure ascertain something that may or may not actually exist?
First it was, there are no symptoms but you are carrying this disease inside your body and you don’t know it so therefore you must have a test to show you that you are carrying around something that is not affecting or infecting you but you could be infecting others. It continues to be hard for me to even write or rather articulate the idiocy of that thinking. And yet, here we are!
I do believe that something exists but is it the flu or flu like symptoms or a cold? These are my thoughts, which aren’t really worth much of anything except to soothe myself into my internal knowing and how I want to move in every moment.
If you really think about it all we ever actually have is our internal wisdom, our innate guidance system, our intuition, our gut instincts and how they are guiding us in each moment. But unfortunately most don’t adhere to the guidance of that deeper wisdom. And now here we are! In a deep crevasse of shit.
My writing has been and will always be based on the premise that if you don’t take full responsibility for your own life then you are giving yourself up to whoever you listen to and invariably be led down the path that they choose. How does that feel for you?
I know that we must always go back to the source of our wounds, hursts, shame and fears. This is where all will be cleared up and healed. However, this is not an easy task and most do not want to participate in the time and energy it takes to uncover and unravel all that came before. So people just plow ahead and think that if they sweep that debris under the carpet it will somehow go away. Not sure how that became the reality of a lot of people but nevertheless, it is! That type of living leads to a fairly shallow life, IMO. Yes, of course we can move along the surface of our existence and get along just fine. BUT ~ where do you think diseases come from? How do you think all these heart diseases and cancers are born? They don’t just happen to you! They grow and fester from your inability to look at yourself. It’s time to take charge of your life and show up! You are out of time! Do you understand this?
How many more drugs do you want to take to even yourself out? How much more time do you want to spend at the doctors office when you could be walking, making love, eating, laughing, playing, dancing, traveling, cooking, etc? Just some things to think about.
What we are as a culture (cult) is NOT working. Do you understand this? The medicalization of all things is not about health. It is about control. Do you understand this? Are you aware of this? Are you able to grasp the intensity and severity of what this means for you if you ever want to move forward in a healthy body?
Sick people do not demonstrate a life of power, dignity, self awareness and grounded expression of knowledge of their wants, needs and desires. They collapse into a pitiful display of being led and unsure of their own resources to move forward in their individuality. People are not pursuing their own healing journeys of self discovery. It’s easier to just pop pills and let someone else tell you what is going on inside of you, which by the way is NEVER actually going to really get to the bottom of your unhealthy life and lifestyle.
This has become a perversion of our humanity!
Are you living a premeditated lack of life? Yes, as far as I am concerned, you are committing a crime against yourself or another way to express this is ~ Self Sabotage. Or are you living a medicated life that appears to be easier and possibly less complicated? Let me share something with you ~ You are killing yourself by your decision to act upon your non action to take responsibility for your own body, mind, spiritual and emotional life. Does that seem harsh ~ well it is! Get real with yourself and grow the fuck up!
“The masses have never thirsted after truth. They turn aside from evidence that is not to their taste, preferring to deify error... Whoever can supply them with illusions is easily their master; whoever attempts to destroy their illusions is always their victim. ~ Gustave Le Bon ~ He is best known for his 1895 work The Crowd: A Study of the Popular Mind, which is considered one of the seminal works of crowd psychology.
