I have grown increasingly amazed at the inability of so many to see trends that are so clear and obvious to us here.
I'm definitely claiming any kind of superior intelligence--I was a steady B- student throughout all of college. I agree 100% with the statement "I can't be smart enough for there to be so many people dumber than me!" (I can't remember who said that).
Yet, we have been brought to a new understanding of our reality in the past 2 years-- that the vast majority of people get their beliefs and understanding of the truths based on what they are told--not by what they see.
We have seen a number of mysterious vaccine deaths and injuries. Of course the vaxxed have seen and experienced it even more. Instead of gaining an immediate sense of concern and suspicion, they just consider what they've seen around them as a coincidence or bad luck until they hear CNN say otherwise.
The "believe what you are told, not what you see" group tends to lean left, but there is certainly no shortage of those on the right also--just look at Patriot.win.
How many "q proofs" convinced you Q was real?
After seeing one q proof, I thought "whatever". After 2 Q proofs I thought "interesting!" After seeing my third Q proof I thought "Wait a minute...is something going here? I'm going to pay close attention from now on to determine if these are just coincidences or if POTUS and the military are nodding "yes, it is real! yes, it is real." Sure enough, in a month of careful observation, I was 100% convinced it was real.
Yet, we all know other conservatives that have been exposed to dozens and dozens of q proofs, and it never intrigues their interest in the least.
Any how, this is my rant for the day. Anyone else feel the same?
Yes. And it's maddening sometimes, because I still fall into them.
When you have learnt what you need to learn they will stop.
There is a feeling of safety in a familiar pattern...and that's what draws people in...it's the child in us...you are in it until you reach the point in the pattern when the child realised there was no safety around the parent and withdraws.
An ongoing pattern..but less time involved each time? Less pain? Less involvement...more understanding of the parents helplessness to change..a forgiving and an acceptance...
think of what you are learning from all this.
I dont repeat most anymore, especially the toxic people pattern. So, I've matured some, it seems. Lol.
I like you
You're deep. Thats good.
Think of the Jesuits..give me a child from one to seven and I will give you the man..
The pattern is set. The disc if you will ..repeats...you speak from the script inherited from parents educators peers etc.
You can reach a degree of self observation that you can see the pattern being played but not able to stop it repeating.
Gurdjieff urged people to remember themselves..you are not this script..or the name and identity you got when you were born.
All religious teachers are right when they say forgiveness is key....the person you most need to forgive is yourself..when you reach the stage you can forgive yourself you can forgive others for their inability to stop their scripts.
There is a paperback called who is pulling your strings...can't remember the author but you will find it useful. It's old but good
an unexamined life is not worth living. Socrates. Krishnamurti. It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.
You are doing good....
I wish everyone here had wisdom. Shills are so boring and predictable. I swat them like knats these days. They're shallow and immature. You, my fren, are the hope we all seek; wisdom to overcome ourselves so the light of truth can shine through. I really like you, a lot.
