The two prime outer realities that shape our personal experiences are Religion and Government. Both have appointed themselves as having authority and dominion over not only the masses, but the Earth and all upon it. Know that these establishments are just puppets as there is a more sinister, “shadow” force that controls them both. Not that this shadow force controls religion or governments, but it controls the people in them.
In religion, you “learn” what love is.
In Spirituality, you “know” what love is.
I find it interesting that a few of the New Agers and RUOW people I know are turning toward organized religion. I don’t mean in an exploratory way, I mean getting right into the Christian saved and born again bible thumpers, or into Hinduism, Buddhism, or Muslim religions with a gung ho attitude that they’ve finally found their community, a sense of commonality, and their calling. I feel they were searching for a common thread that would unite them with other like minded / feeling people where everyone had a so-called “positive” attitude and supported one another. A community where they would feel loved, wanted, and protected, and not alone, unwanted, or in fear of being attacked. Once your Spirit is broken and you have given in to the outer reflection that you are powerless, your mind no longer challenges or searches for answers, but blindly accepts what it is told as the truth. You become part of the flock with herd mentality.
On the other hand, I’m also witnessing some friends and family members that were “born again,” saved, church going, praying, and gospel singing Christians that have lost their “faith” in their church (aka religion) and are trying to come to terms with that. I feel these people have a better chance of healing and empowering themselves, as now they are unsure of their beliefs about what love and life are all about and are willing to question what they previously called truth.
Overall, even if you are not a devoutly religious person, (including atheists and agnostics) there is this social “religious” mindset that while it may not be obvious, has a sinister undercurrent that dictates social morals and behavior. Until one is able to let go of their religious beliefs they will be controlled by them and will also try to control others around them, thus creating conflict. They try to solve the conflict by either changing the rules or adding new and improved ones hoping that it will create peace and that things in their life will change for the better. Besides letting go of one’s religious imprints, programs and beliefs, one needs to explore and let go of, or change the social imprints and programs that are embedded in their mind that unconsciously control one’s thoughts, words and deeds. Politics, government, education, media, police and the military are but a few major players that dictate social experience and reality.
To follow or not to follow
It’s easy to say, but it’s also one of the most difficult things to do, as it goes against all your imprints and programs of wanting to fit in, to be accepted and loved and not be shunned, scorned and attacked for being different. Religion, politics, and customs and traditions are key elements that we feel forced to adhere to as best we can to minimize conflict.
We long for a community, for others that think, feel, and do as we do, where there is commonality. BUT in that, is also the death creating unseen role of denial as it locks you in to following the crowd, and not being the individual, the you that would deviate from the “normal,” as you fear to stand out and be noticed and shunned and rejected.
Another way to say it is that you are giving more energy to “denying” your fears, than in facing and healing them… So the reflection (reality) you create and experience are your denials and NOT your desires. Once you have truly faced and healed your fears (shadows) at the causal level, your outer reality also changes, and what was a fear and issue, no longer is.
Saying that is easy, doing it is quite another thing as it’s something that you have NEVER done before, or you wouldn’t be having the outer reflections you do. Ending your denial of a particular fear or issue also allows you to feel what unconditional love really feels like, and not what you presently believe it is based on some religious rhetoric.
Religion and politics (government) are the two major players that control your life through the social illusion that they have the “authority” to make rules, laws, and conditions that “others” must follow. They both control your physical life, mentally, emotionally and physically. The government controls your physical activities through laws, rules, taxes, etc., while religion has rules and conditions that you must adhere to ensure that when you physically die, that you will have a happy afterlife.
You are lead to believe that you must accept their “authority” over you, to unquestionably follow their instructions and have faith that “they” know what is good for you. If you don’t follow your various governments’ rules, conditions and orders, you will be harassed, intimated, incarcerated or even put to death. If you don’t follow your religions voice of “authority,” they would have you believe that your Soul and Spirit will be dammed in the afterlife.
I was thinking that the main issue in healing that Empaths have in empowering themselves is their religious beliefs. I was going to say that the second thing is seeing and knowing what denial is, but as I thought that, I knew it also related to their religious beliefs that had to do with love and what a loving person is. As long as you belief that denial (of self expression) is love, you are, as the saying goes, “Screwed, glued and tattooed.” Even if you are an atheist or agnostic, that doesn’t mean that you don’t have any religious beliefs, it’s just that your beliefs are opposed to organized religion. You were raised in a society where people had religious beliefs, customs and traditions, and your parents, and their parents and so on. All were imprinted and programmed with beliefs of what is loving or not, moral standards, and codes of behavior, etc.
The second thing that controls you is the various forms of government and their agencies. If you are not a so-called “conspiracy theorist,” then you aren’t even aware of the blatant social denials that are in politics and government, military, media, food, medical, big business, etc., etc. If you can’t see the obvious lies, denials, and deception going on in your outer reality, it’s even harder to begin to see your own lies and denials, and how you are deceiving yourself. It’s far easier to pick up on what others are, or are not saying or doing, than it is with yourself. It’s sad to think that over 95% of the population is so brainwashed and in denial that they can’t see the obvious and blatant lies and denials in their outer reality (religion and politics) that is controlling them. The irony is that in ending ones denials, one begins to break away from both these illusions that control us, and that we call natural, a way of life, and the way things are.
I’m in the process of compiling the material I have for my next book, (The Empaths Dilemma) and I thought I’d join a couple of Empath and a lightworkers groups, just to get a feel for what is happening, as it’s been years since I’ve been in any group. I was “removed” from both Empath groups, but re-instated in one. I made a few posts and commented on others, but I have to say that I felt that only two or three people were at what I would call their “quickeing” stage, where I could feel the lights in their Mind and Heart flicker. The rest are still asleep, although all would disagree. Unfortunately, the ones that were open, happened to be in the group that I was deleted from without even a warning.
Sad to say, it’s really no different than what was going around 25 years ago. Light workers are still sending out love and light, and Empaths are busy grounding and protecting themselves.. and both are asking for prayers and energy. I feel that the biggest obstacles people in both groups have is –
(1) They still cling to their religious beliefs, and as such, they think they KNOW what love is, oblivious to the role that denial plays.
(2) They also cling to what they have been taught, either an alternative healing modality, or recycled “quick fix” solutions.
(3) All are afraid to stray from the herd, as they feel safe and supported.
So tonight, I silently removed myself from the groups and will focus on gathering the material for my book.
This meme is floating around the internet and it is hogwash, NOT that it isn’t a truth, but that it’s NOT a social truth, far from it. People are socially imprinted and programmed to label (judge) people, places and things. They give other people status and authority and then kowtow or worship them. The pope, Dalai Lama, priest, minister, the Queen, president, a politician, a movie star, singer, sports player, policeman, soldier, fireman, guard, CEO, teacher, manager, supervisor, etc, etc. These are all people that we put ahead of ourselves, that we think and say have more worth or value.
But wait – there is more! What about the labels you put on yourself. The irony is that in our brain-washed “altered” EGO state of Being, we try to be like, or at least, associate and identify ourselves with the idols we worship. I AM a Christian, I AM a Catholic, I AM a Anglican, I AM a democrat, I AM a Jennifer Lopez fan, I AM a Boston Celtics fan, I AM a patriot and support our troops, I AM Pro life, and the list goes on an on. All these I AM labels separates people and creates inner conflict, as always there will be people better or more important than you. The irony is that religion and even New Agers, put on this false bravado and rhetoric that we are all the same and equal., which is a part-truth, but what is not said, what is denied and already imprinted and programmed into our Minds is that some are more equal than others.
And now, we get to the interesting part. Because you identify yourself with another person that you think is above you; as soon as anyone says anything that appears to attack what you idolize and worship, your “altered” Ego thinks it’s a personal attack and gets it’s Belief Systems (BS) brain cells firing at anything it sees as a threat.
BUT THERE IS MORE….. Now on a more personal level, all this came about with my activation on my previous post .. and removing the labels I had placed on others and myself, is part and parcel of working on healing my shame issues
This post ties in with my earlier post Says – 273 The false idols people worship. What gives people a euphoric high, a sense of purpose, of value, of being accepted, and part of something larger than themselves, and a host of other adjectives, is their interactions with others that share the same exterior group experiences or events. It could be a religious or political gathering, customs and traditions, music, sports games, a club, bar, or whatever or wherever a group of people share a COMMON interest.
This commonality or shared experience is actually an energy, a vibration that draws them together. The saying, “Birds of a feather flock together,” is an accurate metaphor to describe this social phenomenon. It’s also a herd mentality, as they blindly follow others without logic or reason, and do whatever the crowd does, as if in a hypnotic state. This group energy either makes them feel alive and takes them out of whatever issues and problems they prefer to ignore or deny, or… they are actively engaged in what they think is a solution to their common problem. They can play both sides of the fence. It’s similar to a person that is addicted to drugs or alcohol, where they can temporarily escape their undesired reality. While this sense of commonality doesn’t usually involve drugs, it can.
While this is nothing new… it has now reached a new level. The general population has been slowly desensitized, dumbed down and controlled, and so now they have this in COMMON. They have the same dulled mentality, energy, and vibration, and although they may have different beliefs and experiences, what they all share is a lack of conscious awareness, and this is what they have in common. They have a dulled mind and numb feelings, that swings and sways with the herd mentality propaganda that the media continues to pump into their minds. Most would deny they have a herd mentality and are dumbed down, but that too is part of the herd mentality, as DENIAL, and being in denial of being in denial is what they also have in common. Yet another example of the unseen role of denial.
In this increasing dumber down society, the role of the media as a tool to control the masses is becoming clearly evident. Distraction is the name of the game, and electronic perception becomes reality. With the exponential development of electronics, there seems no end to the ways and means that the media can use to program whatever message they want into the mindset of the masses.
If the thousands of religions wasn’t enough to worship an external power and distract them from their daily lives, they now have a myriad more to choose from. Don’t get me wrong as I am far from religious, but here are a few images that show how people have become distracted and are fervent followers and worshipers of people, places or things that they hold above themselves. Take away their idol; what gives them a sense of identity and commonality with others of the same beliefs, and their world collapses.
Denying anything that is negative and undesirable is not how you go about solving a problem. – Shenreed
I’m posting this as I’m tired of the – “Positive Attitude” BS that has been going on for as long as I can remember. It’s the same BS that was around when I was a child and is still being regurgitated. Whether it’s religious people or New Age Spiritual people; the problem with having a positive attitude is that it is based on religious imprints, programs and beliefs, as well as social customs and traditions. Even if you don’t consider yourself religious, you have unknowingly been imprinted and programmed with religious views through social dogma, morals, scruples, and ethics that contain the unseen role of denial. The irony is that the people that say they are being POSITIVE are in fact, the ones that are being NEGATIVE and unloving, because of their hidden denials. If you challenge and question their Belief System (BS) then you are not accepted as one of “them” and are considered negative, wrong, and a naysayer.
For the person saying this, it’s really, “Do as I say and make me happy.” – Shenreed
Some of the most popular so-called positive clichés used to justify and support their negative and unloving words and actions are:
All religions have the same basic Golden Rule of… “Do unto others as you would have others do unto you.” This is just another way of saying it. – Shenreed
Being so-called “positive is what is wrong with society today. This is the same social mentality that lets presidents, governments, military, police, religion, corporations, etc., get away with the shit they do. The Media, including social media, is full of clichés and excuses used to justify any wrong doings by these groups, and any voice against their unlovingness is considered negative and wrong. The outer reality is but a reflection of the inner reality, so when society (social consciousness) denies any so-called negative feelings and emotions, they will be reflected and experienced in their outer reality. In other words, their denials will come back and bite them in the ass. Why do you think the people and groups I previously mentioned are getting more blatant and outrageous in the shit they are doing and getting away with it. Social consciousness is a collective of individual consciousness, and until people begin to take personal responsibility for all of their Being and end their denials, their reality (life and freedom) will become more and more compressed and limited.
I like this. While the logic applies to politics and government, it also applies to religion and a host of other BS (Belief Systems) that we have that have no valid foundation. Removing the BS doesn’t create a hole or vacuum that must be filled with another BS..it simply returns one to their natural state of Being..
I don’t know what it is, but at the beginning of February I got the strong feeling that something major was about to happen on 2017 Feb. 17. I don’t know if it’s personal or on a global level, but whatever it is, it was with me constantly for several days. Now that the date is getting closer, it’s back in my mind again. I’ll just have to wait and see what it’s all about. If any of you reading this have any feelings about this date, please post a comment.
“If I were the Devil” ~ A prophetic essay written and recorded by radio commentator Paul Harvey in 1965.https://www.facebook.com/IndependentStream/videos/131619900596272/
I don’t know what happened, but I’ve lost a few posts. I’m updating the ones I have copies of – others are just lost.
This video clip reminds me of how government, religion and the media work. What they show is how they would like you to perceive the event…. The last part of the clip shows what is really going on.. If you just believe what you are shown and told, you will never know the truth..
Of course all the followers (sheeple) would cheer and clap and would deny anything that didn’t portray their leader in a favorable “god like” light. Perception is a commodity and can be used to manipulate, persuade and control people that buy into the presented reality.
This imprinted and programed dog video clip just shows you how powerful your Minds imprints and programs and beliefs are. Things can only be done one way and they can NOT change.. Politics, religion, food, medicine, or whatever you have been programed to believe is the TRUTH…. that is what is RUNNING your mind and body.. And no matter what anyone else says or does… you refuse to believe them and see a new truth….. And the more dumbed down you get, the more you are unable to change..
I felt I needed to share this today (2012 Nov 08). There are major changes coming, including a shift in consciousness for those that are awakening. The imprints,programs and beliefs that are presently keeping the old system alive are slowly being exposed for what they are, and the Beast, will try to do everything to maintain control. Denials are ending, and the truth is revealing the unloving corruption that has been in power for eons, and is beginning to collapse.
PS: No, I am NOT a Christian, nor do I follow any organized religion. I do however, take note of certain phrases and passages (in any religion) that strike a chord in me. Later, when I feel more into it, I express what I feel it means to me.
I found this image and a related article entitled… “Everything You Think You Know About Animals Is Wrong” on my facebook page. When I saw the image, I immediately felt there was a BIGGER picture that also had to be shared. I used part of the title, but shortened it to give it a new meaning and food for thought.
The sad truth is that most people will have a pecking order (JUDGMENTS) of their fellow humans… before they even get to animals. These judgments are based on race, colour, sex, young, old, religion, nationality, politics, work, wealth, social status, etc., etc., etc…. Who is more VALUABLE has more WORTH than another human being? Who are considered workers, low life, slaves, etc.? Of course Humankind (in general) considers itself above all other life forms on Earth, including their fellow humans that are not LIKE them. They think that any life form, and the Earth itself are meant to be used and subjugated to serve their purpose.
It’s this mentality that needs to be addressed and removed from our mass consciousness as it is not loving and does not seek or support life. I’m sure that you are aware of the rapid changes happening on Earth, and how denials and unlovingness are being exposed. Those that can see and feel the truth are the ones that will be part of the new Earth. Changes are coming, and either people will let go of their unloving beliefs and judgments, or they will be removed. It’s all a matter of choice and intent.
People claim to be awake and even Spiritual, and yet they still hang on to their old religious beliefs and recite dogma and rhetoric at infinitum. They give so little thought to what they are thinking and saying, that I find it amazing that they can even tie their shoe laces. This is a classic example of religious (Christian) meme’s that have I have come across on the internet.
First point.. If these so-called Christians believe that they are a child of a God who is all knowing and powerful, and the creator of mankind and all that exists. That he has created everything for a purpose and reason, even though mortal man can’t comprehend or fathom what that is, except to believe that it is so, based on their religious beliefs.
BUT… Stupid mankind who believes all this, also doesn’t want to accept that what they are experiencing is right or good, and that God has fucked up and made a mistake, and that they know what he (note he, as there is no she in Christian God) should do.
Second point… But even that is screwed up as now they pray to God’s son (Jesus) telling him to help and SAVE them from all that they deem is God’s wrongful and hurtful design. They cast up their hands and wail in mournful prayer, commanding to be saved and healed. Advocating that they don’t have any responsibility or power to change the experiences that they deem undesirable.
Talk about a dumbed down society, religion has to be the number one leader in how to do that, and collect a mass following of sheep, followed closely by politics. As the old saying goes.. “Bullshit baffles brains,” and until people can get their mind to question their old Belief System, or BS as I like to call it, they are doomed to remain as they are. The dilemma one faces when questioning religious BS, is that you will certainly be attacked and admonished for such behavior and will most likely be deemed a blasphemous heathen, bound to burn in hell.
Okay, so now that I’ve shit on this meme PRAYER image, let me say what a person could use this for in a way that would empower them. It’s all about intent and whether it is loving or not. Prayer can be used to tell or command, like in the image above, or it can be used to ask for guidance. If you add the words.. “Help me to…” to the text, that changes the intent to where you take responsibility for your experiences, even though you don’t understand why you are having them, but that you are open to hear what your options might be so that YOU can solve YOUR issues. And to quote the so-called good book, “Ask and ye shall receive.” Food for thought.. Or not
Here is an good article at Collective-Evolution that exposes religion for what it really is. It also includes a YouTube video by Jon Shelby Sponge, a retired American bishop of the Episcopal Church
<quote> In the video, Sponge affirms that “religion is always in the control business, and that’s something people don’t really understand. It’s in the guilt producing control business.”
Every church I know claims that we are the true church, and they have some ultimate authority. . . The idea that the truth of God can be bound in any human system by any human creed by any human book, is almost beyond imagination for me. God is not a Christian, God is not a Jew or a Muslim or a Hindu a Buddhist; all of those are human systems which human beings have created to try to help us walk into the mystery of God. <end quote>
Fascinating… How PROPAGANDA changed its name to PUBLIC RELATIONS, and how MIND CONTROL of the masses works, and why the Sheeple love it… as it gives them a source of IDENTITY. Politics, religion, language, customs, sports, product brands etc… are are aspects of mind control..
Here is a like to the YouTube video
Besides the three point in the image above. there was also the comment that …
“Perception is a commodity.” Now that is deep statement… and needs thorough reflection.
Yet another powerful image I found on the internet. These imprints, programs and beliefs form the foundation of what and who you presently think you are, and also your worth and value as a human Being.
It’s time to awaken to your true identity.
Food for thought… or NOT…
This is the current image-text definition of cognitive dissonance that is flooding the internet. The original definition of cognitive dissonance is when you know the truth, but have been “persuaded” to change your mind, and accept and promote the lie as the truth. The most common examples can be found in politics and religion.
This is a video from the mid 1950’s that explains, by example, what cognitive dissonance is and HOW it is created… As you can see, this modern definition twists that into something entirely different. The meaning of cognitive dissonance has now been changed, just like the word psychopath and been changed to sociopath.. Don’t be fooled by word or definition changes. Bullshit is still bullshit, even if you call it a mud pie.
Politics and religion are indeed bedfellow. Politicians claim to look after your best interests in your physical life, while religions claim to do so in the afterlife, when you die. Of course, both want something from you for their “services.” Not only do they want your blood, sweat, tears and money; they also want your undying loyalty and devotion to their dogma and cause. As long as the sheeple believe what they, the politicians and religions are selling, they are not only trapped and become slaves to their beliefs, but also controlled by the dictators they admire and adamantly defend, even with their lives.
