Who to believe, if not the media or the government? (English)
Friend:Going back to a previous email, if we do not believe the media, even those who seem to be sympathetic and certainly not the government, who? Each individual has their own perspective and agenda, and it seems to be mostly a matter of choosing who to believe, which is pretty risky business. Like how do you choose? Actually, this is one of my big issues in life --
Djalòki:
We live in the Reign of misinformation, obscurantism, confusion, lies and... business. The most divine and most powerful human attribute is being raped, corrupted and soiled: the power of the Word. Instead of serving the higher purpose of participating in co-creating Life, beauty and balance, in alignment with the Divine, the human Word is now used to bring about confusion, injustice and death, for the interest of the current ruling god: corporate business and money. In our artificially created rules, money is the equivalent of Life in the natural world. The whole system is designed to fuel it.
I believe it is possible to demystify obscurantism by reclaiming our divine prerogatives on the Word. One of the first things we need to do is to free ourselves from the manipulating language and vocabulary used by corporate business (relayed by churches, governments and schools) to maintain us in ignorance and confusion, and reestablish words of truth and meaning, celebrating Life and the Divine instead of money and big corporations.
Here is how this applies to media.
The first manipulation is in the very word media itself, or more precisely in the word "information". We are told that the intention of the media is to provide us with information. Because there is a cost involved in this process they need to be financed and thus they sell advertisement. In other words the mission is informing us and advertisement is the support for that mission. Or so we believe. Big lie! The real situation is that the "god" (corporate business owning the media) needs "life energy" (money). They get that money from advertisements. In order to get advertizing sponsors, they need to offer large potential markets, which are us. To get us, they entertain us through their media, with whatever it takes to keep us glued to their screens and pages so we can be bombarded by their advertisements. So their business is not about providing information, it is about selling a bunch of stupid consumers (us!) to their announcers. The rest is details. Because we are little children who love to listen to stories, they tell us stories. And because we are even more fascinated when we are told the stories are true, they become expert at making us believe that whatever is published in their media is true. We get the stories and we are happy. The advertizers get us and they are happy. The media get their advertisement money and they are happy. Everyone is happy and everything is fine in the world!
Now, that is not the whole picture, of course. The corporate-gods still need more and more money-life, and they have invented this ingenius system called globalization, where they can have a globalized control over the world and they can globalize the flux of money-life to their own not-globalized-at-all heavens. In this system, they need to control the economy in every country on earth (United States of America included), so the flux of money-life is maintained at the right level and in the right direction. In order to control the economy, they must control the politics, but it is not "politically correct" to control the politics from outside in supposedly sovereign countries. So they must control what is publicly said about what they do and about politics in those supposedly sovereign countries. Their media, where they tell us stories, which they make us believe are true, are the most perfect tools to do this, and they are so skilled at it! We are fed false tales and lies by them so we can feed them our real money-life. In my Ayitian language I call that SLAVERY... Even more efficient than old time colonial slavery, because the new slaves are so happy to keep giving their energy and being fed worthless crap.
But because the chains have to be so thin as to remain almost invisible (to maintain the illusion of the lie), they are also easier to break, at least for those who want. And this brings us back to our starting point: the use of the freeing Word. Anyone who understands this is already half liberated.
So, here we are. We have demystified the lies of the media and we know that they are not selling us real information. Now, we need to find where that information is available. And that is the main point of what I am trying to say here: what comes to you, or what is actually forced upon you, is NOT information, it is lies and entertainment. If you want real information, you have to actively go and look for it. Real information is rarely well sponsored. It is not likely to be found in the mainstream media, during prime time hours. You will have to go further than that, in places not much traveled. Getting real information is not a passive activity, as being fed stories is. Three sources of real information come to my mind right now:
1- from real people, real places and real experience;
2- from the Internet;
3- from independant and alternative media.
- Real people, real places and real experience:
If information won't come to you, you will have to go for it. Which means physically go places, meet people who can tell you about their lives and perspectives, and first hand experimenting yourself. That is real information, and once you get it, no media, no government warning, not the whole world can manipulate your knowledge of it anymore. The more you will befriend people from afar with whom you will build mutual trust, the more you will be freeing yourself from the globalized information slave system. "Far" does not necessarily mean geographically remote. It may be the neighbor down the street, so far socially, culturally, economically, linguistically, ethnically, religiously, politically,... In order to keep you under control for its own survival, the manipulative system needs you to be scared of your neighbors, especially those who don't have the same perspectives on life as you. I suggest you reverse the situation. By reconnecting with your neighbors, you will scare the system to death and regain control over your own survival.
- Internet, independant and alternative media:
This is where it gets interesting. The Mystery of Life is such that once you consciously turn your intention into something, you activate a real, though invisible, link (I purposefully use this Internet term) between you and that which you are turning into. And all of a sudden, information which was nowhere to be found minutes before, becomes so overwhelmingly abundant that you are even more confused than before, especially because that new spring of information is not as coherent, standadized, simplified and easy to ingest than the one you were used to with mainstrem media. It is now all chaotic, intricate, contradictory, complicated, often disturbing, and so gargantuan in volume! You cannot possibly find a rational efficient way to search through the millions of pages of information available on the Internet on the subject you are searching. And beware, the system is still there! The search engine is likely to be owned by a big corporation thriving in the system we have described earlier. The first few pages that will show up on your search engine page may not be the most relevant ones to your request. They are those who have more money either to pay the search engine owner or a skilled programmer, or else those who are already more visited by the public in general. In any case, they are the more relevant for the system in continuous hunt for money and consumers. So you need additional search tools to access the real information you need.
I use a combination of 2 different tools: one is my spiritually guided intuition, and the other is the "multiple checks". We can talk about the intuition later, but I think that you see what I mean. In my perspective, the question is not as much as who to believe outside of myself, than how to develop my inner knowledge that will guide me through the maze. I have signs in my very flesh that I am now able to understand as messages from my inner wisdom giving me instructions and directions. And I am developping support tools too, akin to psychic reading tools like tarot cards, crystal balls or pendulums. I believe each one can discover, invent and develop their own. In my experience they can be very "real". And these support tools, as well as the intuition itself, are reinforced and sharpened as one relies more and more on them. It is like a muscle, the more you use it the more it develops, otherwise it atrophies.
By "multiple checks" I mean double checks, triple checks, quadruple checks, etc... I don't take one piece of isolated information as truth. Even when I know I won't be able to "prove" it or garantee its veracity, I will test it against several other pieces of information, as well as my own previous experience. Of course, I am always open to the new and unprecedented, but even that should be challenged, tested and pondered, not in the "scientific doubt" fashion, but in the awareness that we still live in the Reign of confusion.
Now, a few questions for you:
What is Truth? Is it universal? Is it relative? Relative to what?
And what is Real? Is there such a thing as an "unreal" thing?
Is truth always real?
Good meditation.
