I want to start with the premise that our thoughts are being manipulated en masse, regardless of the perspective we have developed about reality. Right now we are seeing a huge outpouring of differing perspectives, and the main channel for these is social media. It is obvious that this was going to happen, and the most popular platforms may even have been created for exactly this purpose.

Since we are all mostly confined to our houses, communication has been drastically limited to phone lines and the internet. The internet is being heavily monitored at this point in time, with platforms such as YouTube and Facebook censoring anything that contradicts the mainstream media narrative in bid to prevent “fake news”. Ironic as this is, many people are falling for it… but not all, and the number of mainstream narrative dissenters is growing by the day.

The political leanings of such online platforms may be more apparent than ever, and as a result people are searching out other platforms still willing to accommodate freedom of speech. I feel this is a good thing, and that only fear would convince you otherwise. After all, if you have the courage of your convictions, information that contradicts your opinion need not trigger you.

You can and should think for yourself

Still, such information is labeled ‘dangerous’, ‘fear mongering’ or ‘conspiracy theory’, by both mainstream media sources and anyone who supports them. The action of suppressing any information at all implies that we are not competent enough to think for ourselves and that we should not be in control of ourselves in any way: not our health, not our whereabouts and certainly not our perspectives.

Questioning the official narrative is only dangerous to the establishment, because if people start to come to their own conclusions based on critical thinking, the system will surely collapse. Unfortunately that is the very thing that people who are dependent on or invested in the system are afraid of, and so they police the matrix on behalf of the forces orchestrating this attempted erosion of our inalienable human rights.

Mainstream narrative supporters tend to be unwilling to comprehend that their perceptions have been cultivated by the very same forces that spoon feed us the same panic-invoking tales designed to control our every movement. It’s interesting that information highlighting the insidious forces influencing us from every angle is classified as fear mongering, when the mainstream pelts us with nothing but dramatic language and frightening predictions, 24/7. The only time they let up is when they need to change the direction of the herd for a moment.

Seeing through the veil is only part of the journey

Looking at the social media battles online, there is a lot of finger pointing. “The sheep” versus “the conspiracy theorists” loosely sums it up; or at least those stereotypical labels indicate the attitudes of the two predominant camps. The thing is that even if you feel you have stepped outside of the ‘herd’ by becoming aware of an agenda to enslave humanity, it’s actually not a given.

It may only be a given if you can see the mechanisms by which your thoughts are still being directed. For example, focusing overly on any key players on the world stage with a view to pinpointing either perpetrators or saviours means your thoughts are still being directed. No matter which aspect of the game you are fixated on, you’re still fixated on the game, and if your thoughts are being directed, you are not yet in control of them.

Your belief is fuelling the game

Do you ever wonder why there are quite a few big names going against the mainstream narrative yet still getting a massive amount of airtime? People tend to assume that if the information has been censored (even repeatedly) this is a reliable indicator that the information is ‘true’. It might be, and the presenter of the information may have legitimate, honest reasons for presenting it. Yet even then, could it be that the truth is being used to keep your attention on the game?

This is exacerbated by the fact that so many of us are hopelessly attached to being right. The need to feel and be seen as ‘right’ often overrules the inclination to find common ground or viable solutions that work for everyone. This is a sign of emotional immaturity and even lack of awareness, to some extent. For example, there are many “truthers” out there who are so focused on the external that they do not examine their inner world, their motivations or their core beliefs. Instead they only ever project their feelings onto external people or events and feel victimised.

These very core beliefs (for example, “I can’t trust anyone but myself”) are the very things used to direct our attention away from our own personal power. The powers that be do not care what you are focusing on, so long as it is not on your innate power as a human being. You can argue about toxic injections, electromagnetic frequencies and political puppets all day long, and you may well be right. I don’t try to hide my opinions about such things, but I know that there is more to the story, and so closing the book there would be a disservice to myself and others.

The key word is conclusion

Is it possible for us to make any concrete conclusions in a constantly evolving and unprecedented time? The only constant in life does indeed seem to be change, and hindsight always allows us to reframe past conclusions. Therefore it would probably be wiser to forgo ultimate conclusions about what is currently manifested in the outside world, and allow your current conclusions to serve as a guide to the next stage of your journey.

To describe the prolific online behaviours I’m seeing, I want to use a metaphor that I saw on a wildlife program. A row of walruses lay on some ice, pressed body-to-body, seemingly resting and unfazed by the proximity of their neighbours. All of a sudden, the walrus at the end got upset by something presumably innocuous, as the camera showed nothing that might have triggered it.

Without warning this walrus attacked the one next to it with its tusks, drawing blood. That walrus, confused after being violently woken from its slumber, immediately lost its temper and launched a frenzied attack on the walrus next in line. What ensued was a domino-like effect in which all the walruses ended up fighting, yet all seemed oblivious as to why it was happening; they just reacted to the stimulus and blindly went on the attack. Does this sound familiar?

Your power does not depend on being right

When we are behaving like walruses fighting we are out of control, responding to stimulus unquestioningly and attacking who or whatever may have wronged us without much discernment. This is a fear-based activity, and no matter how right we feel we are, it changes nothing about the fact that we do not know for sure what is going on, who started it or why.

What is attacking anyone else going to achieve? By doing so we are playing right into the hands of a system that relies on not only communicative discord, but also our investment in the belief that to achieve power, we must preside over something or someone else. Do we really have to ‘prove’ that our perspective is valid, or that the authority we have chosen to represent our perspective is unequivocally ‘right’?

If so, we are inadvertently fuelling the war on consciousness instead of focusing on creative solutions based on love, connectivity and sovereignty. We may be lulled into a false sense of security while doing so, precisely because so far we have only had to bring our minds to battle… but what if misdirecting and thus capturing our minds once and for all was the first stage of a downward spiral? Your mind is a powerful tool, so it pays to be in control of it.

If you control your emotions, you control your reality

Your emotions are equally as important. When you make a decision to respond in a certain way, it is wise to check in with yourself to see what base emotion are you operating from. All feelings can be distilled down to two base emotions: love or fear. For example, you can be in the mode of attempting to prevent harm, but if you feel victimised or frustrated you are probably not coming from love.

If you knew for sure that you were creating your own reality, would you be afraid? You could argue that it is only collective reality that matters, and that we are bound to this. If so, what other people believe really does matter. Then it would make sense to highlight the flaws you see in the direction we appear to be headed in. Yet if you do this from love for humanity and a desire for freedom, sovereignty and peace for all, it’s a different energy and will result in a different expression.

This can be quite a complex thing, because righteous anger does have its place as a motivating force for positive change via righteous action. However the expression of this makes all the difference. We have the option to choose between love or fear in any given situation, and one thing worth keeping in mind is that focusing on what you don’t want will create exactly that: more of what you don’t want. Fear will always direct you to what you don’t want, while love will direct you to what you do want.

Love cannot be destroyed no matter what

My perspective is that the system is attempting to disconnect us from the very things that make us human. However, no matter the measures put in place, those who apparently wish to control us just can’t seem to destroy love, nor authentic spirituality. If anything, they are fuelling those things inadvertently by forcing us to take a good look at our lives, in particular our motivations and priorities. This is the silver lining that could result in a much more peaceful world.

Love and spirituality are the two main things that will take us through to the other side. The time of revelation is here, and we cannot ignore what is revealed… but how we respond to the revelations (no matter how shocking or frightening) will determine what happens to us over the long term. Those trying to control us right now know full well that our beliefs are shaping reality, so they go all out to misinform us and impose their desires by making us believe that things are being done with our interests in mind.

If and when we are able to understand our own power, we may well choose to continue curating aspects of reality for our communities. This paves the way for disillusionment, which is often the first step in understanding personal power and reclaiming sovereignty. Remaining silent may not be helpful, because the success of the current system depends upon stunting our communication. It is relying on peaking our fear, aggression, and egoic bias.

Transcending such impulses in favour of compassionate, loving and honest communication may be the only thing that results in a collective understanding of our power, and consequently the control we have over reality… and the time to take back control of our reality is now.
