It has not affected my trusting people or not trusting them, it's about trusting what I am seeing on media, because it can and is all manipulated, and what I read about politics. I can trust some eyewitness accounts. Everything else is almost impossible to verify. I strive for wisdom, and to gain it, I have to learn by experience, and, I need to be objective. Research can trigger a lot of domamine, the feel good chemical in my brain, so, if I spend an hour looking up something, to find the conclusion, and I find the conclusion, or answer to my question, and it aligns with my gut feelings, I get that rush. When that happens it's harder to be objective, and I can be manipulated by whomever is giving me information, to get that rush again. Sometimes I have to accept that the the truth may not give me that rush, that I will be let down. Now imagine that on a grand scale, millions of people being let down or shocked, that's why 9/11 was such a powerful tool in the evil hands of the cabal. You had virtually millions of people seeing and hearing the news when it happened, so it was easy to throw in the answer, that it was some foreign people with towels on their heads. The answer gave people the dopamine and that with adrenaline and anger, and it worked. The wars in the mideast were started. So you have a fact-planes did fly into the buildings, and then the evil powers that be give you the answer, really quickly too, and, the Patriot Act, an enormous tome, gets passed with little objection. The Psyops are real and they are powerful, and I dont know who is running them anymore, either. I continue to research and also try to maintain objectivity. I observe. I do have Faith though, spiritual Faith that there are laws in nature that are true, and I observe, my world is small and I like it that way. I live in a place that has town meetings, hold local elections for the Select Board and School board, vote on how much to spend each year. Hanky Panky is not easy to get away with in small towns. Once there are enough of a population, in a city, large or small, it's easier for corruption to happen, there is more money available, sophisticated technology is introduced into the infrastructure of the bureaucracy, hanky panky follows. Once corruption steps in, the powerful evil can enter. Good vs Evil becomes difficult to discern.. so, I watch, I learn, and pray for discernment. And I have to be willing to be wrong sometimes, which pulls me back to seeking ancient wisdom and guidance, in my case, that is Faith in God based.
