I don't know if I've missed someone explaining it before, and if I have, I'm sorry. It's been a topic a few of us in my area have been discussing without zeroing in on the answer as we're looking for ways to help others wake up. (Admittedly, I don't know what that says about us.)
Does anyone know why are there people awake versus asleep? Not just recently, but even going backward 60 years. Why isn't everyone affected by the psy ops? Why do we see things and immediately think this is bullshit while others don't see anything wrong at all? Surely it cannot be an IQ thing. Is our skepticism from an automatic distrust in others or institutions? Is it academic from subjects we studied? Is it an independence mindset stemming from a natural desire not to be told what to do and think? Are those who appear to be oblivious to their surroundings and events actually oblivious? Or are they bullshitting us? It's like living in the twilight zone.
For me it was seeing one blip in the matrix, particularly WTC 7. I tried to convince myself of the official narrative for a while but it didn't sit right. As I examined it further, I realized that accepting the truth about how our leaders are evil was extremely difficult for me to process emotionally. It's like I wanted to block it out and return to normal but couldn't. I distinctly remember having a semi-panic attack just accepting that we have all been lied to. From then on, it was much easier to see lies because I no longer had that emotional pre-programmed shield up.
It's not easy to alter your entire world view, even if there is a hard fact looking you in the face. That is why I think people naturally carry on believing the lies, it requires a very stressful transition.
Thank you for sharing. I've heard similar sentiment from others. The poster above you referenced an idea I need to think more about: how you learned to resolve betrayal as a child. For me, I don't really know why or how, but I knew as a teen that the biggest criminals sought jobs in government so they couldn't be punished because they'd be running the show.
