Critical Thinking: Has The American Election Result Unlocked Some Peoples Unresolved Trauma?7/11/2024
Now that it is clear who the next president of America will be, some people are pleased with what has happened and some are not. This can be seen as a natural outcome as only one candidate can win and not everyone will have voted for the same candidate.
When it comes to the people who are happy with what has happened, some of them can believe that this will allow America to be ‘Great Again’. After going in the wrong direction for many years, then, it will start to go in the right direction. Another Position However, when it comes to the people who are not happy with what has happened, some of them can believe that America will go in the wrong direction. After going in the right direction for many years, all this progress will be lost. Based on this, although these people will be living in the same country, it can be as though they are living in different countries. So, those who are happy will be experiencing a lot of ‘positive’ feelings, while those who aren’t will be experiencing a lot of ‘negative’ feelings. A Lot to Deal With When it comes to the former, not only can they be happy and full of hope but they can simply carry on as normal. But, when it comes to the latter, not only can they be unhappy and feel hopeless, but they might not be able to carry on as normal. The reason for this is that they can be all at sea emotionally and unable to keep it together and function. When it comes to what is going on for them at an emotional level, along with feeling hopeless, can feel angry and enraged, helpless, and full of fear and anxiety. The Reason One way of looking at this would be to say that, when someone is in this position, it’s purely because of what is going on externally. What has happened and what will happen as time passes will have caused them to experience these feelings. Their feelings are then not going to be ‘irrational’; they will reflect reality. Consequently, it will be a good idea for them to reach out to friends and family and even seek professional help to help them handle what is going on for them. Another part Furthermore, there can be things that they can do, such as writing articles, creating videos, taking part in demonstrations, volunteering and donating to different causes. This can give them a momentary break from how they feel and allow them to make a difference. What they can keep in mind is that even if they feel insignificant and unable to do anything, they can make a difference. Not only this, but if they align themselves with others, they can have an even greater impact. Another Angle To take a step back, although it might seem as though how they feel is solely due to what is going on externally, what if there is more to it? What if what is going on externally, has also unlooked feelings that were already inside them? If this is the case, feelings that were repressed will have entered their conscious awareness. What this illustrates is that they don’t begin and end with their conscious mind or conscious sense of themselves and another part of them holds feelings that their conscious mind has lost touch with. A Big Impact So, thanks to the inner material that has been unlocked, it will be harder for them to handle what is going on. If they were to become aware of this, they could wonder where these feelings have come from. These feelings can be a consequence of what they have experienced as an adult and during their formative years. They will then have had experiences where they felt overwhelmed and, as they were unable to face and process how they felt, their brain would have repressed how they felt. One Stage If, for example, their early years were a time when they had a parent or parents who were emotionally unavailable and out of reach, they would have been greatly deprived and deeply wounded. Thus, regardless of whether they were also often physically harmed and verbally put down, they would have often felt overwhelmed. As they were powerless and dependent, they were unable to change what was going on or to find another family. Their only option was for their brain to repress how they felt and for them to gradually leave their body. The Past Is Present The years would have passed and their conscious mind would have forgotten about what happened but the pain and arousal that they had to repress, to handle this stage of their life, will have continued to be held in other parts of their brain and body. Moreover, what took place will have left them in a disconnected and fractured state. To get back into their body and be an integrated human being who is no longer anchored to their past, they will need to heal their inner wounds. This is also likely to allow them to be more resilient, resourceful and less reactive. Final Thoughts What this shows is how someone’s emotional history has an impact on how they feel in the present moment - even if they are not consciously aware of this emotional history - and on how they perceive reality. The trouble is that, as someone can be deceived by their brain into believing that how they feel is purely caused by what is going on externally, their unresolved emotional history can remain unresolved. They will then be caught up in what is going on externally and stay in a disconnected and fractured state. The outcome of this is that they are likely to continually be re-traumatised.

When it comes to all of the bad things that are taking place in the world, it can seem as though there is very little that the average person can do. Thanks to this, the only way anything will really change is if the people in power do something about what is going on.
Someone can then want to live on a planet that is full of love, peaceful and harmonious, and where everyone is able to meet their basic needs, for instance, but they won’t be able to do much about this. Consequently, they could feel pretty hopeless and helpless. Two Sides They, along with most of their fellow human beings, will then have to hope that the world changes sooner rather than later. That’s not to say that they will believe that there isn’t anything that they can do. But, if they believe that there are things that they can do, they won’t believe that these things will have much of an impact. For example, they could do what they can to be kind and generous, donate money to one or a few charities and even volunteer. Another Angle However, what if they, along with most of their fellow human beings, are not powerless and the people that are in power don’t actually have all the power? After hearing this they could find this hard to accept. What could enter their mind is that the people at the top, so to speak, are the people who have all the money and make most of the big decisions. Thus, it is to be expected that they wouldn’t believe that they, along with most of these fellow human beings, are unable to do a great deal. Going Deeper Nonetheless, what they will need to keep in mind is that it is not just what takes place externally that impacts what is going on in the world; it is also what is going on internally. This means that what is going on for them and their fellow human beings has an impact on what does or doesn’t take place on the planet. So, while their disconnected mind can create the impression that they are merely an observer of reality, this is not the truth. In other words, the sense of separation that their mind has is nothing more than an illusion. A Closer Look When it comes to what is going on inside them and their fellow human beings that have an impact on the external world; this will be their thoughts, beliefs, and feelings, among other things. Together, these elements will define what is going on for them at an energetic level. This is because although they have a physical self, they are not actually solid and neither is anyone or anything else. In reality, they, along with everyone and everything, are made up of vibrating energy. The Power Is Within Them With this in mind, even though it can seem as though a small handful of people have all of the power, if it wasn’t for what was going on for the rest of the population, they wouldn’t have this power. Without realising it, then, they, along with most of their fellow human beings, are unknowingly giving their power away and are playing the role of not having much power. As powerful as these people are, they will be being energised and kept in place by what is going on at an energetic level for most of the population. The key is then not for them, or their fellow human beings, to focus on purely changing what is going on externally, but to primarily focus on getting their inner world right. A Different Experience If what is going on inside them is influencing what is going on ‘out there’, it will be clear that the external conflict, chaos and misery is a reflection of the inner conflict, chaos and misery. As they, and their fellow human beings, resolve their own conflict, become more settled and deal with their own pain, the external world will follow suit. Their inner world, the projector will change and, therefore, what is on the screen, the external world will also change. What this illustrates is that the external world is a reflection is what is going on inside the collective consciousness and what needs to be dealt with internally, as opposed to a sign that those at the top are causing problems and need to be ‘dealt with’. Inner Work When it comes to someone dealing with what is going on inside them, they will be facing pain and integrating parts of themselves that have been repressed. A lot of this material is likely to go back to what took place during their formative years. What has been repressed and removed from their conscious awareness will have been forgotten about by their conscious mind but will have continued to impact how they experience life and what takes place on the planet as a whole. Their conscious mind or conscious sense of themselves is then just a small part of them. Final Thoughts If someone can relate to this and they want to embody the change that they want to see in the world, they may need to reach out for external support. The assistance of a therapist or healer, for instance, can allow them to go where they wouldn’t go by themselves and work through their inner wounds.

Oliver JR Cooper http://www.oliverjrcooper.co.uk Romance Scammers: Why Wouldn’t Someone Be Able To Accept That They Are Talking To A Romance Scammer?5/9/2024
After one has spoken to a friend or family member on a number of occasions about the person who they are in a relationship with, they could soon come to the conclusion that something isn’t right. This could be because they are with someone who is physically and/or verbally abusive, but, this might not be the case.
Instead, it can be because they have been talking to someone for months if not years and haven’t met them. Additionally, they might have told them that they have sent their lover money and perhaps other resources. Another Part They might have also said that they have only seen pictures of this person and not seen them on video call. Apart from the messages and calls that they have had, then, they won’t know for certain that who they are talking to is who they are actually talking to. As for how they met them, they might have met them via a dating app, or a social media site or this person might have contacted them directly. Now, as strange as everything will sound, their friend or family member could be convinced that they are in a real relationship. Looking Ahead Not only this, but they could also have spoken about what will happen when their lover shows up. They might have talked about how they will get married and/or move to another country, for instance. Either way, once this man or woman shows up, their life will end up going down a very different path. Naturally, as they expect that so much will happen, it is to be expected that they will be excited and full of hope. External Feedback If one were to talk to their friend or family member about what is going through their mind, what they say might not be heard. For example, what they say could be dismissed and they could even be accused of being negative or jealous. This could be something that takes place not once but on a number of different occasions. After this, they could wonder why they are unable to get through to their friend or family member and why they are unable to see clearly. One outcome What could end up taking place, as a result of their continued failed attempts to get through to them, is that they could stop talking to them. They could make it clear that they are not completely turning their back on them but that they are not willing to support what they are doing. Interestingly, they might not be the only ones who do this, as many of the other people in their life, after trying to through to them for however long, might also pull away. If so, their friend or family member will become very isolated. What’s going on? At this point, it can seem strange as to why this friend or family member wouldn’t be able to face reality. If they have sent their online lover a lot of money over the months or years and have not even seen them via a video call, they should be suspicious. Moreover, if they are in a position, or soon will be, where they are unable to pay their bills thanks to the money that they have given away, they should start to experience a lot of doubt. Ultimately, there will be an increasing amount of evidence that shows that they are being deceived. Blocked out Most likely, there is a part of them that is full of doubt but this part of them is dominated by another, bigger part of them that isn’t. Therefore, it will be a part of them that is stopping them from being able to face reality. It is then not that they are simply being deceived; they will also be deceiving themselves. This big question is: why do they have such a strong need to deceive themselves? Going Deeper To understand why this might be, it will be necessary to look into how they might have felt before they started speaking to their online lover. Before this, they might have felt lonely, unloved, worthless and helpless. So, when this person appeared, who is likely to have showered them with ‘love’ very early on, they are likely to have gone from feeling empty, to feeling whole. To use an analogy, in one moment, they would have been out in the cold, and, in another, they would have been in the warm. A Lot to lose Taking this into account, and assuming that this is accurate, if they were to face reality, they would end up being cast right back out into the cold. They would soon feel lonely, unloved, worthless and helpless. Furthermore, they would have to face up to how much money they have lost and even all the people in their life who they have pushed away. Keeping the fantasy in place, the fantasy that they will meet their online lover sooner or later, will allow them to avoid reality and the pain that goes with it. Time Is Running out The trouble, of course, is that if they need to keep sending money to keep this fantasy alive, there will come a time when it will fall apart. They will then not only be in a lot of pain but they won’t have any money left. Their brain will have blocked out reality to help stop them from being overwhelmed with pain and allow them to keep it together and function. What this illustrates is how their brain, like everyone else’s, is not designed to make sure that they are able to face reality and see what is or isn’t true; it is designed to keep them alive.

During an election, numerous people vote for a party that they believe is going to change their lives for the better. For some of these people, what goes on at this level defines what their life is like.
In other words, their life will be in the hands of whoever is in power and so, it is to be expected that they would not only vote but be careful who they vote for. If their party gets into power, then, they can be happy, but, if they dont, they can feel totally helpless. Another Example Putting the political world to one side, there are numerous people who look toward their partner or friend to change their life. Once again, another person will be seen as defining what their life is like. This person, regardless of if they are their partner or friend, will be seen as having power over their life and so, it is to be expected that they would look toward them to change their circumstances. They can hope that this person will give them what they need and that this happens before long. A Difference Now, when someone looks towards a political party to change their life, they are likely to be surrounded by people who are in the same position. On the other hand, when they look toward another person to change their life, they can be seen as someone who needs to ‘take responsibility for their life’. At the same time, if someone is in the first position, they can be told that they need to take life into their own hands and stop looking toward people, people who don’t care about them, to rescue them. Likewise, if someone is in the second position, they can have people in their life who treat them like a child and are happy to do things for them. Stepping Back One way of looking at this would be to say that the reason someone would want to be rescued is because they feel powerless. They don’t have the sense that they have what it takes to meet their needs and create a fulfilling life. Therefore, they look towards other people, people who may come across as strong, powerful, and capable, to change their life. Nonetheless, why is it that they would believe that another human being has more power than they do? No Different Of course, some people have a lot of power, certain abilities, know other powerful people and even have a lot of money, for instance, but, they will still be human beings. What they won’t be are all-powerful, all-knowing, all-seeing gods. With this in mind, although they can see themselves as lacking what these people have, they are, like these people, still a spiritual being having a human experience. Inherently, then, they are no different to these people. Two Levels One of the main differences is likely to be that the person who wants to be rescued has a view of themselves that relates to them having no power, while the person who presents themselves as someone who can rescue others doesn’t. But, beyond the view that someone has of themselves is the fact that they are not merely an observer of their reality. No, they are co-creators of their reality, with what is held inside their own consciousness defining what they do or don’t experience. This is something that has been said for thousands of years, and in more recent years, has been backed up by quantum physics. An Illusion Taking this into account, if someone sees themselves as someone who needs to be rescued, they will consciously and unconsciously create a reality that reflects this view. Yet, without this understanding, this will just be seen as a reflection of how powerless they are. In a way, it will be as though they are playing a game but, as they are so caught up in this game and it is so normal, they won’t realise this. Still, this doesn’t change the fact that they are unknowingly choosing to play the role of having no power. Another Angle To take a step back, when it comes to why they would see some people as being all-powerful, all-knowing, all-seeing gods as opposed to their fellow human beings, it can show that they are unknowingly projecting their parental figure or figures into them. So, when they were a child, their parent or parents would have been gods in their eyes, due to how much power they had over them. This stage of their life is now over but they will still carry child parts inside their own consciousness, which is why they will elevate certain people. When this happens, they will attribute more power to someone then they have and, in the process, they will give away their own power. A New Reality If someone is in a position where they don’t have a felt sense of their own power, they are likely to have a lot of inner work to do. When it comes to this work, it can largely relate to them working through wounds that they experienced during their formative years. This will take courage, patience and persistence. Awareness If someone can relate to this and they are ready to change their life, they may need to reach out for external support. This is something that can be provided with the assistance of a therapist or healer.

Since the match between Portugal vs. Slovenia in the European football championship, a lot has been said about the emotion that Cristiano Ronaldo expressed after he missed a penalty. Some people have criticised him for crying after he missed a penalty, while others have been supportive.
When it comes to what some of the former have said, it has related to him not being very professional, not showing the right level of maturity and even as a sign of how narcissistic he is. When it comes to what some of the latter have said, it has related to him being very passionate, a sign of how committed he is to his country, and an expression of how responsible he feels for his team’s success. A Number of Reasons Nonetheless, what is clear is that when it comes to the view that someone has, it can depend on a variety of different factors. So, what will play a part is if someone has or does play football, if they are a friend or fan of Ronaldo, and what kind of relationship they have with their own emotions. Also, along with their conscious reason/s for the view that they have, there can also be their unconscious reason/s. But, if they are strongly attached to what is going on for them at a conscious level and believe that this view is accurate, it might not occur to them that there might also be another reason or a number of reasons that are playing a part in why they have this view. One Outlook To look at what happened from a purely professional level, it could be said that he shouldn’t have allowed his feelings to get the better of him. The reason for this is that as he is the captain, he needs to keep it together for his teammates. Moreover, as it is a team game, it is not solely down to what he does or doesn’t do that defines whether his team wins or loses. And, as he is surrounded by very good players, it doesn’t make sense for him to carry the weight of the team on his shoulders. Another outlook At the same time, it could be said that he is just a very passionate person who wasn’t able to keep how he felt to himself and is overly responsible. If he wasn’t way, would he have become one of the greatest ever football players? And, although he did become overwhelmed with emotion, due to the type of person that he is, he soon pulled himself together as demonstrated by him not only taking the first penalty but also scoring it. In this moment, he showed courage, inner strength and that he is a true leader. Two Extremes In one moment, he was at rock bottom and, at another, in part thanks to the goals that two of his teammates scored and the three goals that his other teammate saved, he was on top of the world. However, if Portugal had lost the penalty shootout, he would have most likely stayed at rock bottom for a lot longer. Furthermore, the criticism that he received after the game is likely to have been far more severe. There is likely to have been a lot said about how he is to blame for Portugal being knocked out and that he should retire. A Closer Look But, to take a step back from what might have been said if the outcome had been different to what was said, one of the comments that were made after he cried was that he was “crying like a girl”. One way of looking at this comment would be to say that it is sexist. To go even deeper, though, what it is saying is that it is fine for a girl to cry but that it is not ok for a boy to cry. It also suggests that as he was crying and was described as “crying like a girl”, it is not ok for a man or woman to cry. Going Further From this, it’s as if it’s ok for girls to express their emotions but it’s not ok for boys, men or women to. Or perhaps to be more accurate, it’s ok for girls and women to show their emotions but not boys or men. Boys and men are then supposed to deny this side of them and always come across as stoic. The trouble with this view is that both sexes have an emotional self and need to embrace this side of their nature to be mentally and emotionally healthy and have fulfilling relationships, for instance. A Harmful View Yet, although this is the case, there is the commonly held view - a view that is generally unconsciously passed down from one generation to another - that men who express how they feel are weak and are not real men. It is then not accepted that men have an emotional self as they are expected to act as though they don’t have this element. One of the outcomes of this is that many men end up in a very low and depressed state and are unable to connect deeply to others. And, instead of reaching out to others for support when they need it, they can drink, take drugs or even take their own life. A Misunderstanding But, if a man feels ashamed of his own emotions and expects to be humiliated and rejected if he expresses them, how else would he behave? Now, to come back to the act of crying itself, the common view is that crying is a sign of weakness. However, the truth is that someone can cry for a number of different reasons; they can cry because they are sad, happy, relieved or exhausted, for instance. Crying itself is said to release toxins and stress hormones, painkilling chemicals, and activate the parasympathetic nervous system, among other things. It’s Healthy Therefore, to make out that crying is a sign of weakness and something that only little girls should do is not only a lie but is harmful. Having the ability to cry is a key part of being a mentally and emotionally healthy human being. Keeping everything in and being an emotionally repressed human being, on the other hand, might allow someone to create the impression that they are strong but this will be an illusion. A breakup, loss of a loved one or the loss of a job, for instance, could break the defences they have in place and cause them to hit rock bottom. Final Thoughts For not just girls but boys, men and women to feel comfortable expressing how they feel and knowing that this is the healthy thing for them to do is surely a key part of humanity’s evolution. Still, this is not to say that there is not a time and a place to do this or that when this takes place, it is ok to behave in a destructive manner. Lastly, the view that Ronaldo was “crying like a girl” is probably a clear sign that whoever left this comment doesn’t have a very healthy relationship with their own feelings. If, then, they were to cry, they would probably soon shame themselves and do their best to lose touch with how they feel.

Oliver JR Cooper http://www.oliverjrcooper.co.uk
Whether someone is watching the news or browsing a social media site, they can hear about how a certain country is a problem. Alternatively, they could hear about how people who belong to a certain group are a problem.
Then again, they could hear about both of these things. Either way, this will be something that is very black and white; it won’t be unclear what is going on. One Solution Thus, for things to change, something will need to be done about a country or a group of people. It can then be a case of attacking another country or dealing with the people that belong to a certain group. From this, it will be as though some countries and groups are good and some are bad. One doesn’t need to have a degree in history to know that this way of looking at the world and some of the people in it has led to a lot of suffering and carnage. It Doesn’t End Yet, even after a country has been attacked or a group of people have been killed, this hasn’t resulted in their being peace and harmony on earth. Another country and/or group of people have ended up being seen as the problem and the same cycle has played out. This is something that is only too clear when what is currently taking place in the world is taken into account. Human beings have then become more technologically advanced as time has passed but, in many ways, the same conflicts are being played out. One Outlook One way of looking at this would be to say that the in-group, out-group dynamic is just part of human nature. As a result of this, it is not something that can be changed but at the very least, it is something that can be recognised and steps can be taken to make sure that it is kept under control. This might not completely eradicate the problems that this way of being creates but it is likely to minimise the damage that is done. What this emphasises is the importance of education and the suffering that ignorance causes. Another Angle At the same time, what if this is not purely something that is part of human nature? What if it is largely a consequence of what takes place when human beings don’t deal with their own issues? In other words, what if human beings have both ‘good’ and a ‘bad’ within them and as this is not something that is generally accepted, this ‘bad’ side ends up being externalised? If this is the case, the out-group, irrespective of whether it relates to people who live in another country or a group of people within the same country, will embody what the in-group has disowned within themselves. Hidden What this illustrates is that even though someone has disconnected from parts of themselves, it doesn’t mean that these parts will have disappeared. These parts will have been removed from their conscious awareness but they will now be held inside their unconscious mind. Consequently, the parts of them that they have lost touch with will end up being projected into others. It then won’t be that they are hateful, aggressive, intolerant, entitled and/or greedy, for instance; it will be that those people ‘out there’ are. A Defence Moreover, seeing these people as the embodiment of these elements and themselves as being radically different to them, will help to stop them from coming into contact with the parts of themselves that they have disowned. Still, as they won’t be consciously aware of what is going on, they won’t be able to see the connection. Their brain will have repressed the parts of themselves that are ‘bad', to enable them to keep it together and function, which will have caused them to be deceived into believing that they are nothing like these people. This is why, if another person was to point out, that they are behaving in a way that is similar to those they have dehumanised, they won’t be able to accept it. Another Element It is for this reason that it has been said that human beings don’t see with their eyes; they see with their brain. Therefore, when it comes to if someone can or can’t see something; it depends on what is going on inside them. Along with their brain blocking out evidence that goes against what they believe, aligning themselves with those who have also blocked out the ‘bad’ parts of themselves will help to stop them from being able to see clearly. Naturally, the more people who have the same views as them, the easier it will be for them to maintain the conviction that they are ‘good’ and in the right and those ‘out there’ are ‘bad’ and in the wrong. Final Thoughts With in mind, a big part of what will allow humanity to work together and get along will be for individuals to embrace their shadow or repressed darkness and gradually integrate this part of them. As more and more people do this and become more integrated, less darkness will be projected into the world and there will be more harmony.

Oliver JR Cooper http://www.oliverjrcooper.co.uk
Most likely, someone will live in a society that is built on the view that they, along with their fellow citizens, are passive observers of what takes place externally. What is going on inside them, then, won’t influence what is going on outside them.
Thus, unlike the few that have power, there will be part of the many that don’t. Those who have power will be those at the top, so to speak, who make the decisions and are in control of what does and doesn’t happen. Another part Along with this, there will be there will be what other countries can do to their country and what the environment might do to harm them, amongst other things. In each of these examples, as well as others, it will relate to what the external world can do to them. With this in mind, they, along with their fellow citizens, will be powerless. Due to this, it is not going to be a surprise if they often experience fear and spend a lot of time hoping that their life changes. One outcome Additionally, they could spend a lot of time paying attention to the mainstream media, with them believing that this is the way for them to stay informed. If they don’t pay attention to this source, they could experience more fear and uncertainty. Being informed, then, will settle their mind down and give them the sense that they know what is going on. Most if not all the people in their life could also behave in the same way. Another Angle However, although they will live in a society that is based on this view and they live as though this is the truth, what if it is a lie? What if they, along with their fellow citizens, are not merely passive observers of reality and what is going on inside them influences what is going on outside them? If this is the case, it would mean that they, along with their fellow citizens, are unknowingly feeding into and sustaining a reality that is not serving them. They are partly doing this by focusing on and giving their attention to a reality that certain sources want them to both create and keep in place. The Illusion But, as they, and many of their fellow citizens, are not aware of how they are co-creators of their reality as opposed to passive observers of it, they won’t realise this. They are then unknowingly helping to keep a reality that is not serving them in place. As powerful as those at the top or other external factors appear to be, they will be dependent on their energy and belief to be able to survive. What this comes down to is that what is going on for them externally is a reflection of what is going on for them internally. Going Deeper What will have played a part in preventing them from realising that they are not merely passive observers of reality is their disconnected mind. This part of them creates the sense that they are separate from everyone and everything. On the plus side, this allows them to have their own experience on this planet. Yet, when this sense of separation is not seen for what it is, an illusion and external sources feed into this sense of separation by making out that what is going on ‘out there’ is the issue, they will be undermined by it. No Impact The thoughts, emotions and feelings that they experience at a conscious level and the feelings, and beliefs that they are carrying at an unconscious level are not simply impacting what is taking place in their mind or what is taking place for them at a physical level. No, together, these elements define what is going on for them at an energetic level and the frequency that they are emitting. This is because, beyond their physical appearance, they are made up of vibrating energy. What is going for them at this level will then define what they can or can’t experience in the external world. A Key Point What this illustrates is how much power they, along with their fellow citizens, have when it comes to what takes place on this planet. So, if they don’t focus on and feed into a reality that is based on fear, lack and suffering, and they deal with their inner wounds, it won’t be possible for this reality to materialise. Final Thoughts As more and more people become aware of this, the less creative energy there is for those at the top, for instance, to materialise their plans. Considering this, the power that these people have rests on them being able to deceive humanity, not on them having any real power. This can be seen as a point in time when humanity is waking up and taking it's power back. A time when they are starting to spend less time watering the weeds and more time watering the flowers.

If the average person was asked to share their opinion in regards to why the world is the way that it is, they might say that it’s because of the people that are in power. Therefore, if these people were dealt with in one way or another, the world would be different.
This can be someone who pays attention to the mainstream media or the alternative media. The reason why it could be one or the other is that both of these sources generally blame those at the top, so to speak, for what is going on in the world. The Same View And, as there are millions of people who pay attention to one or both of these sources, it will mean that a large part of the population will have this view. The difference is that if someone pays attention to the alternative media, they can believe that they have a better understanding of what is going on. If someone only pays attention to the mainstream media, on the other hand, they can look down on those who pay attention to the alternative media. They can believe that these people are out of touch with reality. The Same Direction But, although they will have a different opinion in regard to who is at the top, what they will agree on is that those at the top are the problem. So, thanks to the amount of power that these people have, then, they will have a big impact on what does and doesn’t happen on the planet. From what has and is taking place in the world, it will be clear that these people are not interested in living in a world that is full of love, peace and harmony. Instead, they are primarily interested in living in a world that is full of hate, conflict and disharmony. At the Bottom It can seem as if these people don’t view their fellow human beings as being at the same level as them. No, they view them as being inferior beings who are incapable of living their own life and need to be kept in line. At the same time, some of these people, due to how they behave might not even seem human. It is for this reason that those at the top have often been described as evil and as being from another planet. Looking Deeper Now, while it can seem as though those at the top are the main problem and that the world will only change if they are dealt with, what if there is far more to it? After hearing this, someone can question how this could be possible. But, as the source of information that they pay attention to, whatever that source is, and perhaps the people in their life will support this view, this is to be expected. Additionally, their five senses will play a part in this view, with these senses creating the impression that what is going on ‘out there’ is the problem. Another Angle However, what if the people at the top, as inhuman as they can appear to be, are a reflection of what a large part of humanity needs to face and deal with? After hearing this, someone could say that they themselves, along with most of the people on the planet, are nothing like these people. For example, they could say that they are not greedy, cruel, hateful or controlling, for instance. Consequently, they, and most of their fellow human beings, are going to be ‘good’, whereas those at the top will be ‘bad’. Two Levels What needs to be acknowledged at this point is that they, along with their fellow human beings, don’t begin and end with their conscious mind. Furthermore, even though they will appear to be separate from what is going on ‘out there’, this is nothing more than an illusion. In other words, in addition to what is going on for them at a conscious level, there is what going on for them at an unconscious level, and, what is held in this part of them influences what is going on ‘out there’. Based on this, what is going on ‘out there’ will be letting them know, albeit in a symbolic manner, what it is that they and their fellow human beings need to face and resolve. A Closer Look If what is going on externally is not seen in a symbolic manner, they won’t be able to see how it reflects what is going on for them internally. But, if they were to look deep within themselves and reconnect to the parts of themselves that have been hidden, they could soon find that they carry a lot of anger, rage, hate, helplessness and hopelessness. It can be difficult for them to connect to these ‘dark’ parts of themselves as what they experience can go against the view that they have of themselves and this can be a time when they will be overwhelmed with pain. The experience that they have will then shed light on why they had lost touch with these parts. A Small Still, by engaging in this process, they will be able to see that their conscious sense of themselves is only a small part of them. When it comes to the ‘dark’ material that was repressed and is now entering their conscious awareness, this will be a consequence of the experiences that they have had as an adult and a child. Either way, by facing and resolving their inner wounds, they will be changing their own consciousness, and by doing this, they will be changing the collective consciousness. This will allow them to see that they are anything but a passive observer of reality and are actually a co-creator of their reality. Awareness If someone can relate to this and they are ready to change their life, they may need to reach out for external support. This is something that can be provided with the assistance of a therapist or healer.

Nowadays, it is not uncommon for someone to have difficulty falling asleep. Furthermore, they could know at least one person who has the same challenge.
And, even if there isn’t anyone in their life who has spoken about this, it doesn’t mean that there is not someone in their life who is in the same position. The reason for this is that they could keep what is going on for them to themselves. A Common Problem What this illustrates is that this is not something that only affects a small handful of people. Thus, as hard as it will be for them to have this challenge, they are certainly not going to be alone. This is unlikely to change what is going on for them but what it can do is stop them from believing that there is something inherently wrong with them. What this can do is stop them from experiencing a lot of shame and suffering in silence. Another Angle At the same time, as this is a challenge that is often spoken about on different social media sites, for instance, they might not feel ashamed of what is going on for them. Furthermore, as there are so many solutions available, there is no need for them to suffer in silence. In the past, however, when this wasn’t something that was commonly spoken about and there weren’t many solutions available, it would have been very different. Fortunately, the world has changed since then. A Big Impact Anyway, when they go to bed at night, their mind could typically be racing and it could take them not just minutes but hours to fall asleep. And, when they do fall asleep, they could wake up at least once. Consequently, when they wake up, they can feel exhausted and their mind can be foggy. It will be as if they haven’t been to sleep and they can feel more tired than they did the night before. Another Part After this, when they are at work, they can find it hard to concentrate, remember things and be irritable. Thanks to the impact that this is having on them, then, they won’t be just able to put it to one side and live their life. They will need to deal with what is going on or else their life will continue to get worse. One thing that they can end up doing is going to see their doctor or do a search online. The next stage Either way, they could soon learn about the importance of going to bed and waking up at the same time each day, to relax before they go to bed and to exercise during the day. Also, they could hear about the importance of not using their phone a little while before they go to bed, to avoid the stimulation and to stop their melatonin production being suppressed by blue light, and to take certain supplements. A New Experience After following what they have learnt, they may find that it gets easier for them to fall asleep and stay asleep. As a result of this, it can start to get easier for them to function in their day-to-day life. If this is the case, they can come to the conclusion that they have solved their sleeping troubles and be deeply grateful. But, if this or another approach that is similar to it works, what if there is another element that is being overlooked? A Closer Look What may have been stopping them from falling asleep is the pain that they are carrying at a deeper level. This pain would have partly been kept at bay during the day as they were generally in doing mode. But, when they went to sleep at night and were longer in this mode and settled down, they would no longer have been able to avoid themselves. Additionally, if they are carrying a lot of pain, it would be harder for their brain to keep this pain at bay. A Secondary Defence If so, being on the go will have also been a way for them to release tension. When they were lying in bed and were not doing anything, they wouldn’t have been able to release this tension, which would then have caused their mind to be busy. The negative thoughts that arose could then have been a sign that their mind was doing what it could to keep material from other parts of their brain at bay. This mental activity, as disruptive as it would have been, will have been a way for their mind to stop them from being flooded with pain and to keep it together. A Short-term Solution If this is so, what they have done to improve their sleep won’t have dealt with what is going for them at a deeper level. What it will have done is cover up what is going on for them and, sooner or later, they could go back to how they were before. The pain that they carry can be a consequence of the experiences that they have had as an adult and a child. These experiences will have had an emotional impact on them and as the pain that they experienced wasn’t faced and integrated, they are carrying it around with them. Awareness If someone can relate to this and they are ready to change their life, they may need to reach out for external support. This is something that can be provided with the assistance of a therapist or healer.

There are numerous articles, videos and books available that go into how important it is for someone to protect themselves from ‘negative’ energy. Furthermore, there is a lot of information that goes into how this can be done.
When someone does this, they will create a strong energetic boundary around themselves. What this will do is stop another person’s 'negativity' from being able to affect them. The Same Therefore, in the same way that clothes will protect their physical body from the elements, an energetic bubble will protect their mental, emotional and physical self from elements that can’t be seen. Or, to be more accurate, elements that can’t be picked up by the five senses. And, as the ‘negative’ energy of others can’t be seen by the five senses, it can be easy to overlook it. As a result of this, there are those who are aware of how important it is to protect themselves in this way and there are those that aren’t. The Outcome So, when someone can relate to the former, they are likely to be in a better position when it comes to looking after their wellbeing than the latter. The reason for this is that, instead of believing that their inner state is always defined by what is going on for them, they will be able to think about if it is because of who they are spending time with, for instance. Yet, if this is something that they are not aware of, they can put it down to something else. For example, they could believe that they just feel down and drained or are going through a rough patch. More to It Nonetheless, to take one step back, it won’t just be the people who they spend time with who will impact them. It will also relate to the people who they have spent time with and are no longer in their life. This can be an old boss, a previous partner or a family member, for instance. Therefore, it won’t be necessary for them to still spend time with someone in order for them to have an impact on them. Another Angle However, although someone can go down this route and use techniques or external entities to protect them, what if there is another approach? At this point in time, this might seem to be the only thing that they can do. But, what if, by believing that they need to protect themselves from what is going on ‘out there’, they are actually undermining themselves? Now, if they were to consider this, they could doubt that this is possible. Going Deeper Assuming that this is the case, it will be important for them to learn about something called the law of resonance. What this law states is that they, along with everyone and everything else, are made up of vibrating energy. Ergo, for them to be able to pull something or something towards them, there has to, be an energetic match. Without this match, then, it won’t be possible for them to come into contact with someone or attain something. The Connection With this in mind, if their being is being impacted by someone who is or was in their life, it is likely to show that there is something inside their field that is a match with what they are energetically broadcasting. If this wasn’t so, it wouldn’t be possible for them to have an impact on them. Still, even if they were able to accept this, they could say that they are a positive person, for instance, and are nothing like this person. If they do respond in this way, what they will need to keep in mind is that they don’t begin and end with their conscious mind. Two Levels In other words, even if they are a ‘positive’ person, it doesn’t mean that they are not carrying ‘negativity’ at a deeper level. When it comes to this part of them, a part that is bigger and stronger than their conscious mind, there can be repressed pain, unmet development needs and parts of themselves that they have rejected, among other things. This material, along with what is going on for them at a conscious level, is what largely defines what they pull in and repel. Thus, where they go and don’t go, who they meet and don’t meet and what does or doesn’t happen to them is not random. Going Deeper Additionally, it has also been said that someone doesn’t live in the world, they live in the mirror. Based on this, what is going on ‘out there’ is a reflection of what is held inside their consciousness. As opposed to the ‘negativity’ that is coming from someone ‘out there’ being a sign that there is an energetic match, then, what is going on ‘out there’ will merely be a symbolic representation of what is going on for them. This means that there is no one ‘out there’ let alone anyone who can harm them. Conclusion Irrespective of whether it comes to the law of resonance and/or seeing the world as a mirror, what stands out is that one is not merely a passive observer of reality. Due to this, it will be vital for them to be discerning when it comes to what they believe and feed into. Without this understanding in place, they will unknowingly co-create and sustain a reality that is not serving them and give their power away in the process. Taking this into account, for them to keep ‘negativity’ away, their best route is probably to face and resolve their own 'negativity’ and become more integrated. Lastly, the view that someone needs to protect themselves from something ‘out there’ can be seen as a consequence of what happens when spirituality and ego consciousness are blended together. The first part makes it clear that there is more than what the five senses can pick up and the second part creates the sense that someone is separate from what is going on out there, which will naturally give them the need to protect themselves from external forces.
