Says 324 – Cognitive Dissonance – The unseen role of denial.

I had posted this topic before Says 318 – Cognitive Dissonance & Misinformation but I didn’t realize until this morning that cognitive dissonance is so persuasive and in control of our society. Initially, I related it with politics and religion, but it is far more insidious than that as its vile tentacles reach into the very core and heart of our being.

Cognitive dissonance is when you’re basically an honest and loving person, and you know the truth and the difference between right and wrong, but have now changed to the opposite polarity, that of denial and unlovingness. Where this gets twisted and unloving is when one has been coerced, either though monetary gain, indoctrinated, or is just innocently willing to help another that seems to be in trouble to tell a lie, or a little white lie as it’s sometimes called. They tell the lie and then repeat it enough times and soon enough they begin to believe the lie is the truth. If asked, they will have either forgotten their own truth, or they choose deny it. They have been corrupted into being in denial and living a lie, and even worse, they are oblivious to that fact and will defiantly state otherwise.

Now getting down to the nitty gritty. Like I said, I originally equated it with politics and religion, but it is everywhere in society. Military, police, lawyers, judges, financial institutions, media, education, science, technology, industry, food, water, medical, doctors, pharmaceuticals, energy, transportation, etc.. Basically, anyone that is in the “work force” is living a lie. They are told how to do things if they want to keep their job, and even though they know that what they are doing is wrong, a lie and unloving, they still do it and will defend their actions, even if their only reason for doing so is that they are just, “doing their job and following orders.” So when you spend so much of your time “living a lie,” is it any wonder you can’t make the changes you would like in your life,  without a major shift in your consciousness that is terrifying, as it goes against everything that you believe to be true.

Says 309 – Why the system is as evil as it is

This meme popped up on my Facebook news feed and I felt I need to share it as it expresses my point of view, not only with the police, but in all the ten categories that I identified in my previous post “Says 305 – The Beast.”  that are shown in the second image. As long as the order followers are willing to carry out the orders of the power hungry psychopaths in a position of power, they are bad, “unloving” by way of their choice. As the old cliché states, “If you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem.”

The biggest problem is, and this is my guess-timate, that 60% of the people work in some form of government or in the myriad of agencies that are directly and indirectly associated with the various forms of government. Corrupt politicians and bureaucrats are involved with the rest of “the Beast.” and so it affects everything and everyone. Bad corporations hire bad lawyers to make bad laws that are approved by bad bureaucrats and politicians, and enforced by bad police, covered by bad media, and the list goes on and on.
