Try to notice today in your own experience that unless there is clarity within you, you will just end up being a megaphone for the information that has currently occupied your field of existence. Most people in the world today consume so much data that there isn’t even a moment in their life where there is any possibility for that data to be filtered, questioned, or even just simply thought about.
It is definitely a beautiful thing that we are given mouths and fingers that we can relay information to others that we find interesting or worth sharing, but if there is no clarity within, then all we really are doing is taking some narrative and blindly spreading it, which in turn helps shape a world in accordance to those ideas, even if not true.
It’s one thing to use advertising to inflate the appeal of a certain product in order to sell more items, but in today’s world lying is simply seen as common practice. We can see the outcome today, we are currently living in a world where it’s hard to know what is real and not. And because of this people are drifting further and further from reality, and instead living in their mind’s version of it. This is dangerous because the mind is a trickster, and it will make you perceive a lot of wacky things.
We cheaply sell the one thing that is each of our most valuable assets, and that is our ability to be connected to the fundamental through our own direct channel, which then gives us the clearest perception of the world. Once this connection is temporarily severed or dimmed, you are no longer driving this life, you have given others the permission to use you however they wish, and you will go with whatever narrative is most conducive to your survival. People are literally spewing nonsense because they are paid for it.
I don’t care what you believe in or whatever group you join, but I do care about living in a world where people see things through a perception that is as clear as possible through their eyes, not what others just tell them, or because something is broadcasted on repeat. As I currently sit in the mall and write this post, a missionary stopped by my table and introduced himself to me. He was very polite and asked me if I ever met one. I told him I have met a few, but that I wasn’t interested into joining the team.
It’s quite wonderful that there is so many ways to go about living this life, including the way this fellow does, and many could get a benefit from people like this, but once again even if you take anything from anyone, including me, please use the faculties that you were given each and everyday to see what is being presented to you, and just because it felt right in the past, if today, you are shown otherwise, its totally fine to change course because you are the commander of your ship as long as there is clarity emitting from within and you are being guided by that.
