I often say we are only as sick as our deepest darkest secrets, meaning those things we do not talk about (either with our 'self' or with others) are what psychologically haunts and emotionally disable us. This holds true regardless of whether we are discussing personal problems or cultural taboos and this inner dysfunction scales perfectly to regional, national and even global populations.
Nowhere is this psychological phenomenon more evident than when examining the insanity surrounding all aspects of the false flag attacks of September 11, 2001. Even those who claim to be wide awake carry some sort of long term trauma from that (ongoing) national shock and awe psychological operation. As painful as it may be to scrub an old wound, it is extremely helpful to examine exactly what is ailing the population in general and ourselves specifically.
It is beyond the comprehension and understanding of nearly all of 'us' (myself included) to fully appreciate how much of what we perceive and believe to be 'reality' is nothing more than a trance or illusion, albeit an extremely persistent one. It was with this thought in mind that I came across this quote in an article I am re-posting here on TIF.
"In the contemporary world what counts is the goal. To reconnect with the Earth and the Sky what matters is the present, not the destination. Trance or shamanic states of consciousness have to do with the present and with getting out of the most dangerous trance: our conditioning and daily conventions."
I needed to read this article three times before all it had to offer began to sink in and soak my mind and body. Resist the urge to skim it and instead kick back and read it several times for the pure pleasure of knowing such knowledge.
If you accept the premise 'You are what you eat', meaning ultimately you are physically composed of what you consume....good and bad.....then it stands to reason you are what you think, meaning your reality is composed of what you consume and thereby think and/or believe.....good and bad.
As the image of the deeply, and beautifully, eroded rock in the image above demonstrates, the slow drip and steady wind of social, political and economic conditioning and propaganda can break down the hardest substances. Our only defense is to be forever mindful of who and what we are....and what we consume.
It is with this thought in mind that I present a blast from the past by Neil Kramer from back in July of 2008, an oldie but goodie if you will.
