Because the cognitive dissonance would be mentally overwhelming that people would have nervous breakdowns and cease to function I believe.
Imagine a girlfriend you are in love with happily for years just dumps you out of the blue and claims it was all a joke the whole time and had been posting your most intimate secrets online for everyone in the world to laugh at and make fun of. Now multiply that by 100.
Everything you believed and trusted crushed before your eyes.
I get this scenario... married for 13 years and after 2 kids, my ex basically told me she lied the entire time and was just trying to make her ex jealous, whom I found out she never stopped talking to behind my back. I lost 20 pounds in a week and 45 lbs total in a month. I was a wreck, my stomach just could not handle eating. At one point I was just sitting on the couch doing nothing, but my Fitbit told me I was working out for 45 mins, because my body was in so much pain I felt like it was on fire. Thankfully my faith in Jesus pulled me through and in a much better place now 🙏
Same here, my friend… it’s legit debilitating and only faith gets you through
Good to hear, betrayal is a serious wound and can make a person hurt so bad. Been there, I had thought I wanted to die, but I was carrying a child, it was what kept me going, the only thing. It took awhile to realize how much better off I was, it was like having a 200 lb tumor removed, in retrospect.
13 years is a long time to be with someone “on spits”. So awful. Sorry brother.
Thank you 🙏
Sorry to hear brother. God bless you and your family!
Thank you🙏
I'm a bit naive when it comes to worldy ways, I was living as Christ asked me too. She told me I was too trusting and easy to lie to. I have forgiven her and hold no resentment towards her 🙏
-.-
This comment is the most on target of this thread, imo.
Fortunately, very few of us have ever experienced true, overwhelming cognitive dissonance. Rather, the process of awakening is normally one that takes place in stages, step by step, so that the capacity to process (digest) the dissonance is developed.
Case in point, when I first began going down rabbit holes in 2015, I did this by simply beginning to look at one topic on the net, and then following this idea, that idea, this thread, that thread, and step by step over the course of 6 or 7 or 8 hours I followed the rabbit hole to a very challenging burrow.
It would take me weeks and weeks to emotionally and mentally digest the information. I couldn't even think of going back down another hold for a month or two at least. And, then when I was ready, I would find another trail leading in another direction, ending up in a different burrow. And then, again, i had to take weeks or months to digest and integrate, and process and actually 'accept' the information into my system.
As this process went on, each time, my resilience was developed, and I could process more information and deal with it more quickly, until I only needed a week or so to process the content.
My view on this is based on an ontological worldview; we are inherently spiritual beings that interact with the world through the integrated (or non-integrated) relationship between our emotions, intellect and volition, rooted in heart. Heart is sensitivity to truth and love, and is the root of emotion intellect and volition (will).
Processing difficult and painful truths requires internal (aka spiritual) development and growth. If your heart is alive, then pain is a very real thing, and the more attuned you become to the Great Heart of God, the more suffering you are exposed to.
For these reasons, I see the Great Awakening as a dual process of a) learning about the mechanisms that evil has used for millennia to control and destroy people, and b) building up the internal capacity to discern, process, and attune to truth.
Without that process, ripping off the veil of the reality of the world would indeed put "99%" in the hospital. Mentally, or physically, or both.
I see the "99%" as a metaphor, as non literal, however. It means, "the vast majority", and not literally 99%.
Thanks, here are some questions that appear for me:
I stopped with the mainstream media about 10 years ago.
Then the mind is open. What is happening right before our eyes? What was the corporation designed to do?
What are the physical things here, feelings, pain, joy, what do they mean in my development ? What if there were no negative consequences?
What did Jesus do? was he watching something like CNN in his time, or debating them ?
Thank you fren.
I just realized that my true awakening started after I stopped watching MSM. I never made the connection before.
Story: I used to watch Bill O'Reilly show on FAUX. One day I listened to the opening closely - "No Spin Zone".
Then the rest of the show was Pure Spin. I realized in that moment I was being brainwashed, and conditioned to hate and be angry at those "people boxes" where they would argue and spin their asses off. I thought ... fuck this shit. I turned it off and never watched MSM ever again.
The spell was broken and my mind was free to research and find my own truth. (I guess I owe Bill O a thank you)
I was a huge Rush Limbaugh follower. I was brain washed and didn't know it. Everything MSM is controlled.
this looks like the trait of alot of us autist frens, not watching msm brainwashing or conforming to the institutions ...
Extremely well put. I concur entirely.
One other dimension I would add: there is yet another level of courage and strength of character that emerges once you 1) realise there’s no going back and 2) dedicate the remainder of your life to operating in the new paradigm, and basing all life decisions on that basis, come what may.
It’s like having a particularly impactful hallucinogenic experience which presents previously unknown and inaccessible truths to you, such that once back to “normal”, you resolve to live your life more virtuously as a result.
This was exactly the same for me. I would learn something and sometimes the dissonance made me physically ill and I would avoid it for a bit while it incorporated into my belief system and i could handle more.
Now days I just assume most everything is a possibly misinformation from either the liar or the ignorant and can say at time I feel I can pretty much handle anything.
this seems like the most obvious answer to me
I think this is it. Seeing the levels of denialism, gullibility and sheer willingness to be deceived in almost everyone around me, I am convinced they are terrified of reality being anything other than their programming. Then seeing how much they rabidly defend their paradigms if you threaten them with any notion that they are wilfully oblivious to widespread corruption, evil, deceit, genocide, eugenics etc in plain sight, whether via scamdemics, jabs, wars, disease, emergent technocracy etc… I have been shunned by otherwise rational people for bringing their gullibility, cowardice and susceptibility to propaganda and deference to authority into focus. Reminds me of the quote attributed to Aldous Huxley:
“There will be, in the next generation or so, a pharmacological method of making people love their servitude, and producing dictatorship without tears, so to speak, producing a kind of painless concentration camp for entire societies, so that people will in fact have their liberties taken away from them, but will rather enjoy it”
I don't have to imagine.
Cuts like a Knife
Sorry fren!
