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.
Once I awoke in 1997, I always wondered why Rush never talked bout the Deep State. He would never ever go there. He’d hang up on callers who mentioned it.
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.
