There are two realities that have been purposely created for humanity and one can live in either quite easily, with all the supporting infrastructure that makes your “reality“ quite realistic.
If you’re in the “Everything Is Fine” reality, there are newspapers, morning shows, uninformed friends, doctors, movies, books, jobs, internet sites and media that will reflect that reality back to you. It’s quite easy to believe “everything is mostly fine” and think everyone touting an alternate opinion is nuts. Beyond inflation and the oddities—like soldiers in skirts—you can live fairly comfortably, going to work, watching a movie, having a beer with uninformed friends, making a pie, watching your news. You don’t have to live in fear for a nanosecond if you don’t want to. Maybe you survived the vax all right, and so did your family. Your newspaper comes to the door, the coffee is on, life, for the moment is good. But that reality is artificially created for you.
If you’re awake, there is also a reality you can inhabit. There are websites, newspapers, blogs, intelligent people to follow, like-minded people to associate with, directions on starting gardens, medicinal remedies, prepper books, videos, and the like. You can inhabit this world fully. Like the “everything is fine” reality, Deep State operatives contribute to it, by feeding news stories, peddling fear to us, supplying us with rogue informants, bad actors and the like.
To inhabit the reality of pure truth, and not falling prey to the propaganda In the two artificially created realities, is a difficult proposition. I would say people with finely-honed intuition are best at it, but even then, it is difficult. Who to trust? What to read? What to believe? Who dropped that story and why? Which politician is fighting the matrix? Who is just pretending? Are there really cockroaches in our food or is that just part of the fear machine?
Living simply helps to discern the artificial realities. Staying away from corporations and their products, weighing information before reacting, spending time in nature to strive for clarity, taking care of oneself, taking breaks from our news sources and reading—-it all helps. And knowing that an artificial reality has been created for truth seekers helps too.
We must be at our best right now.
Another thought on this: You are right about avoiding the corporate "reality" presented to us on TV. I've tried to tune out TV as much as I can, but occasionally watch certain programs I like (Mountain Men, NOVA, etc.), but in the back of my mind I sift and sieve what is being presented, ESPECIALLY in the commercials. I mostly mute the commercials but every once in awhile I will watch one simply to look for the subtext, the unspoken part... where today only black and Hispanic people are depicted as strong people and whites are mostly feckless losers and can be "set right" by emulating the minority folks; where men are mostly depicted as second-class wimps and STRONG WOMEN!! take charge.
I first noticed this in the original movie "Toy Story".... where was the father? No father at all, not even an oblique reference to a father. Presumably the mother had divorced the father, or he was dead, or whatever; we never know, he simply doesn't exist as far as "Toy Story" is concerned. Countless TV shows depict men as superfluous annoyances and the woman of the household wears the pants.
This emasculation of the media males has led to quite a few social disasters.
Very insightful, thank you. I intimately know that "pure truth" reality, or at least I know the struggle to find and live in that reality. It helps to be a natural contrarian and question everything. Still, though, at times it's too easy to get sucked into a rabbit hole vortex that wants us to fear, think, or just become 'comfortably numb' to what is going on around us.
Daily prayer and meditation helps, so does living frugally and within my means, and keeping focus on things that matter... my spiritual house, my family, and becoming ungovernable to whatever degree I can.
Good post, thanks.
Great post!
I was thinking about how this affects couples. I’m sure there are literally millions of couples out there right now where one lives in one reality while their mate lives in another. And, there is a tug of war where one is trying to pull the other into their reality.
I’m curious to hear your thoughts on how people can make their way through that challenge.
It’s interesting, because two people living in different realities can inhabit the same house. One can be saying “don’t eat processed food, it’s poison,” and the other can be thinking they are living in the same world they were ten years ago. Nothing has changed for them, except their spouse seems to have lost it.
I’m not sure how to reconcile the two worlds. In a way, they both have to wake up. The asleep spouse needs to face the truth and the awake spouse needs to live in truth and not succumb to believing everything their reality is spoon feeding them. Fear has to be put aside.
I’d be interested in reading what that’s like for some couples.
And this seems to be closer to reality than the current events, I’m for simple living. I am concerned because it has taken over 20 years to get me to this ideal place for me. That rat race and money wheel are powerful “habits”!
The main problem with the Rat Race is that the rats keep winning.
So true. The world is and can be a scary, frightful place to be in and navigate. I do what maes sense to me and my family and thank Gid everyday for the 2 best friends he could ever have sent me. My fur partners, Rocket and Puddles. Coming home to unconditional love, kisses and 2 little guys that just want you to throw the ball and snuggle with you on the couch while you watch all the crazy us ehat gets me through this clown world. I LOVE making my Rocket MAGA Trump shirts and Bydan stupid shirts. It puts a smile on a lot of people when we go out. He walks proud with a smile on his face and I think people feel better after they give him a head rub or he shakes their hand. He is just a slice of heaven here on earth. HE is my sanity!
Excellent point, well put.
