Critical Thinking: Does The Establishment Control People By Keeping Them In A State Of Confusion?2/11/2019
For a very long time, the establishment was able to control what most people could or couldn’t find out about. There were many ways that this took place, with some being more obvious than others.
One way was via the creation of a school curriculum that only taught certain things. Two other ways that this occurred was by controlling what books were published and what was spoken about in the mainstream media. A Platform A more subtle way was through films, documentaries and even the music that was produced. Due to the nature of this form of media, it may have seemed as though the primary purpose was merely to entertain. This is why films are such a good way to influence people as this can be done without them even realising what is taking place. Along with this, so many people would be exposed to this form of ‘entertainment’. No Different At the same time, there is a strong chance that very few people thought that they were being indoctrinated when they were at school, or that the book or the paper they were reading was doing the same thing. It was then no different to if they were given medicine by a doctor; they would have simply swallowed it all. A Huge Problem It could be said that this was all working out perfectly and then the internet came along. Thanks to the internet, people were given the chance to look through a wide range of information. Some of this information was in alignment with what they had been told, while there was other information that wasn’t. So while this was great for anyone that loved to learn and those that had a critical mind, it wasn’t great for those that wanted to control the citizenry. Another Part Furthermore, what has also made a difference is that so many people can now film and capture their experiences and share what they see online. Not only does this allow the citizenry to police their fellow citizens; it also allows them to expose what the system is doing. Taking all this into account, it could be said that just about every citizen has been given the ability to be well-informed and to have a lot of influence, and this is the last thing that the establishment wants. Nonetheless, the establishment hasn’t been taking this lying down. A Number of Tools One thing that the establishment has been doing to regain control over what people believe or don’t believe, is to crack down on free speech. Under the guise of removing ‘hate speech’, they have been able to limit what people are exposed to – websites, videos and books have been removed. Something that has taken a very long time to attain is then being eroded in a very short period of time. They have even managed to convince so many people that free speech is a bad thing. Remove It If something is true or accurate, it will be able to stand up to anything that is put forward. However, if something has weak foundations, it won’t be able to handle anything that challenges it. Therefore, it makes complete sense that certain information needs to be banned or else this information would expose the lies that are being dispensed on a daily basis by the system. Having information like this available is too much of a risk; it is far better just to ban it altogether. A Disorientated State Banning information is not going to be enough, though, especially if a lot of people can see what is going on and decide to resist what is taking place. What also needs to happen is to put as many people as possible in a confused state so that they don’t know what is going on and, if they don’t know what is going on, they won’t be able to function, let alone resist what is taking place. This is exactly what the establishment has been doing, with this being something that has been described as the great inversion. For example, the things that were seen as being self-evident before and were not even spoken about are now seen as being incorrect and are openly discussed. The Cinderella Technique This has been described as ‘up is now down’ and ‘right is now left’, with this being something that has resulted in a lot of people being confused and doubting their own perceptions. Like a machine that is not working properly, they can end up malfunctioning. The society they live in will have been gaslighting them, meaning that their perceptions will have been invalidated day in, day out. One can then end up in a position where the floor has been taken from beneath their feet, with there being no firm foundations for them to stand on and they won’t know what to believe or what is going on, which is going to stop them from being able to think clearly and then to do anything about what is taking place. Conclusion Ergo, not only does the establishment do just about everything that they can to divide the citizenry; they also do what they can do mess up their ability to function. One way of seeing this would be to say that someone’s mind can end up like a computer that has a virus; it won’t work properly. The key here will for someone to realise what is going on, to see that there is a reason why they are in a state of confusion and that it is due to what they are being exposed to. With this understanding, one will see that there is nothing wrong with them and to cut down on the amount of time they allow themselves to be exposed to certain types of media.

Fairly recently, a number of celebrities have spoken out about climate change (the current phrase). Along with this, a number of them have even taken part in some of the extinction rebellion protests.
In general, these people have said that more needs to be done to protect the planet and that, if more is not done, the earth will destroyed in a very short period of time. One thing that is also mentioned is the damage that fossil fuels are doing to the earth. An Important Role One way of look at all this would be to say that it is a good job that people like this are speaking out. A lot of damage is being done to the earth and more needs to be done to protect it. Ergo, by having people like this speak out, people that have lot of influence over so many people, far more is likely to be done to protect the planet. Clearly, someone like this is likely to have a bigger impact than the average person on the street. A Strange Scenario Another way of looking at this would be to say that although it is a good thing that people like this are speaking up, it is strange that they don’t practice what they preach. On the one hand, someone like this is talking about how fossil fuels are damaging the planet and that more needs to be done. On the other hand, this is also likely to be someone who uses far more fossil fuel than the average person does. They could have at least one private plane, numerous houses and a whole fleet of cars. Hard To Fathom So if someone was to think about this, they might find it hard to understand how these celebrities can be so hypocritical. It doesn’t stop there, though, as they might also wonder how they can be so sanctimonious. The first thing that could come to mind is that people like this must lack any kind of self-awareness. And although they simply act for a living, it is as if they have developed a god complex. A Superior Position Therefore, as their fame and fortune has gone to their head, causing them to lose touch with their own humanity and reality, they are unable to see how hypocritical they are. Like other human beings, they will also defecate, bleed and die at some point in time, but they will see themselves as being above the average person. As a result of this, the rules that apply to people like this won’t apply to them. It is strange how someone like this can be so deluded, yet it must be hard to stay level-headed given the fact that they have so much money and are treated like gods by so many people. It Doesn’t End There What has been said above doesn’t completely match up with what has been going on, however, as a number of these celebrities have recently come out and said that the media are right to call them hypocrites. It would then seem that somehow, some these people have had a flash of self-awareness. The term ‘flash’ is used as their response was very similar to a burglar, who only apologises because they have been caught, not because they realise they have done anything wrong. The general gist of their response was that we are all in this together, even though they lead very different lives to the average person. Business as Usual Based on what they came out with, it is highly unlikely that they will alter their lifestyle. If anything, they will need even more fossil fuel so that they can fly around the planet to tell the mere mortals of the world how to live their life and to pick up different environmental awards. What is clear is that regardless of what is done to try to avert what these people and other ‘experts’ believe is going to happen, that’s if something doesn’t change, whether it is more taxes or controlling what people can or can’t eat, these celebrities are unlikely to be effected. They will continue to live however they want to live, while telling everyone else how to live. One Narrative What is interesting about these celebrities is that they generally come out with the same things that the mainstream media comes out with. Due to this, it would be easy to assume that the reason for this is that the mainstream media only shares what is true and accurate, with their being no hidden agenda. Nonetheless, it might be more accurate to say that these celebrities, like the mainstream media, are all mouth pieces for the establishment. These people then have to act when they are making a film, hiding who they are, and they have to act when they are not making a film, hiding who they are again. One Big Illusion These people are then going to work somewhere that creates illusions – Hollywood – and they will help to keep the illusions that establishment has created in the real world alive. They won’t be allowed to veer away from this narrative; if they do, their career would probably be over. To the average person, someone like this can appear to be just an actor/actress who has their own views and makes their own decisions, but this will be far from the truth. What has helped to maintain this illusion is the fact that establishment has had so much control over what people could find out about. Conclusion But while the internet has made it easier for people to find out about things that the mainstream doesn’t cover, the establishment is tightening the noose again by controlling what people can see online. The people behind the scenes only want people to see the world in one way, so anything that challenges the official narrative is seen as a problem. Terms like ‘hate speech’ have most likely been created to suppress certain information, all the while creating the impression that this is not taking place and that the right thing is being done. These people understand that you can’t control people directly or they would notice it and resist; it is has to be done indirectly and very slowly, so that they don’t notice it and resist.

It has been said that the answers are within and that ‘who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes’ (Carl Jung). Based on this, it could be said that there is a lot going on internally.
Therefore, if someone is connected to their inner world, they will have access to their truth and they will be awake. With this in mind, in order for someone to live a life that reflects who they are and to be a conscious human being, they will need to have a strong connection to their inner world. The Ideal Although the answers that they need are not going to be outside, this doesn’t mean that external sources of information are of no use. However, although the information that can be found externally can be of use, it can’t replace the guidance that is inside them. Also, having a good connection with their inner world will stop them from getting too caught up in what is taking place externally. They will be able to experience the external world but they generally won’t be completely caught up in it. Back To Reality Now, while experiencing life in this way could be seen as the ideal, it is not how everyone experiences life. In fact, it could be said that very few people experience life in this way. When someone doesn’t experience life in this way, they can believe that all the answers are to be found externally and they can be completely caught up in the external world. Someone like this could be described as being self-alienated. Dependent Due to this, it will be perfectly normal for them to look ‘out there’ for answers and to be caught up in the world that they experience with their five senses. So even if one is not sleep and having dreams, they are still going to be caught up in an illusion. As a result of this, it won’t be hard for other people to define what they believe and how they see the world. Through being out of touch with themselves, they will have given their power away to outside sources. One Outlook It would be easy to say that people like this are just asleep and that all there is to it. Some people are then in tune with themselves and are not caught up in the physical world, while there are others that aren’t. Nonetheless, what his view would presuppose is that the world just happens to be this way and that there is nothing going on behind the scenes to make it this way. Yet, even a cursory look at what is taking place in the world would show that this is not the case. A Deeper Look At the same time, if someone is completely plugged into ‘the matrix’, they probably won’t notice anything. Thanks to how long they have experienced life in this way for and how immersed they are in the external world, it might not even stand out. When they were small, their parents and the education system would have told them what to do and, as time passed, the media and other authority figures would have taken over. There would then have been no reason for them to tune into the information that is inside them. All-Consuming And now, with the help of a Smartphone, someone like this can download what is taking place out there at all times. Thus, unless they are asleep, the there is no need for them to be oblivious to what is taking place. In a way, it is as though one no longer needs to use their own brain as other people will tell them everything. Regardless of whether it relates to how they should live their own life or what is going on in the world, the experts out there will be on hand to tell them. One Part One way, then, that someone will lose touch with their inner guidance, is through being put through an education system that doesn’t encourage them to look within. Of course, their caregivers will play a part in this too. Another part of this will be the effect that the media has on making them believe that what is taking place around them is real, and that they need to buy into it. With these things alone, one can be totally out of touch with themselves by the time they are an adult. Another Part It doesn’t end there as there is also the impact that trauma may have had on their ability to connect to themselves. One thing that the mainstream media does is provide an endless stream of negative events. Every day, it is as if the world is going to end, and this can help to keep someone in a highly stressed state. Consequently, they can be too anxious and fearful to be in their body, which will most likely make them look outside for answers. Out of Their Hands The people behind the scenes, the establishment, are then going to be the ones that tell someone how to live their life. With the help of the education system, the media, technology, authority figures and celebrities, the answers will be presented as being ‘out there’. It then won’t matter if one is religious or not, as they will see certain human beings as gods and goddesses – people that are all-knowing and all-powerful. These people will be mouth pieces for those that are not seen but who have a big influence on so many people. Why? The question is: why would the people behind the scenes want people to be out of touch with themselves and to be dependent on others? And, why would they want them to be caught up in the external world? Undoubtedly, if someone is out of touch with themselves, it is going to be a lot easier to manipulate them. They won’t know what is true and what isn’t, which can cause them to accept most of the lies that the system comes out with. The Perfect Scenario Someone like this will go along with just about whatever they are told and they are unlikely to put up any resistance – the perfect citizen. They will be an adult, yet they will see certain people as in the public eye as parental figures. What this can show is that the people behind the scenes are completely out of touch with their own essence and that they have a superiority complex. Through being dead on the inside and deluded at the same time, they need to take energy from others and to control them at all times. An Important Role Another way of looking at it would be to say that they are parasites; they have to live off the energy of others. Without their energy source, they would die or go madder than they are already. As for keeping people caught up in the dramas of the external world, this allows the people behind the scenes to achieve their goals. If people didn’t buy into all these dramas – whether that relates to the endless warmongering or trying to get people to fight each other simply because they are part of a different religion or have different colour skin - it wouldn’t be possible for their plans to come into fruition and the game would soon be over. Conclusion Ultimately, no god or goddess exists ‘out there’; what is out there is nothing but an illusion. Nevertheless, if someone is out of touch with themselves and is totally consumed by the external world, they can end up being duped. If someone experiences life in this way, and they want to change, it will be essential for them to get back in touch with themselves and to no longer be so caught up in the external world. This is a process, not something that will happen overnight but it will be worth it in the long run.

Oliver JR Cooper http://www.oliverjrcooper.co.uk Critical Thinking: Is Humanity Traumatised So That They Will Accept Their Own Enslavement?19/9/2019
In recent years, a lot has been said about mental health and how so many people are not in a good way. Now, although some people are not in a good way due to something that they have personally been through, it could be said that there are others are not in a good way due to what the modern day world is like.
When it comes to the former, someone may have experienced a loss or been in a car accident, for instance. On the other hand, when it comes to the latter, the stress of modern living and trying to adapt to a dysfunctional society may have messed them up, for instance. Both Ways However, although it would be easy to say that there are two categories, this wouldn’t be the complete truth. The reason for this is that even if something in ones personal life has affected them, their experience can still be influenced by what is taking place around them. For example, if someone has experienced loss and they live in a society that doesn’t embrace the grieving process, it can be a lot harder for them to go through this. Most of the people that they come into contact with could basically encourage them to ‘move on’ and to ‘be strong’, meaning that they will live in an environment that is invalidating and it could then take them longer to heal. Self-Sustaining With that aside, it could be said that society traumatises people in a number of different ways and the people that it has traumatised help to maintain this society. This doesn’t mean that the average person goes out of their way to traumatise others, though. Nonetheless, the way in which they behave can help to keep the society that does traumatise others in place. What this emphasises is how much power an individual has in the world, and while they might not be able to change the world, they can behave in a way and spread a message that does change the world. One Need When someone is in a traumatised state, their need to survive will be more important than any other need. What this means is that their so-called ‘higher’ needs will end up being overlooked. Being happy, joyful and free is not going on be on their mind; what will be on their mind is feeling safe and secure, having enough resources to exist and removing anything that will cause them to feel uncertain or experience doubt. The Norm Yet, although this is how someone can be if they are in a traumatised state, this is how so many people experience life. But as living in this way will have become so normal, most of these people probably won’t even realise that they are in a traumatised state. In this state, someone won’t be operating as a whole human being; they will be operating as a fractured human being. Still, someone like this can be the perfect obedient worker and they are unlikely to create any resistance either. Broken Down One is then going to be like a car that turns on but can only go about ten miles an hour; like this car, they won’t be functioning at full capacity. Or, instead of being an individual in their own right, they will just be a cog in another person’s wheel. Along with this, they can look towards the government to look after them and to protect them. Without a sense of safety and security inside them, due to being in a traumatised state, they will look towards an external source to provide this. Distracted When someone lives in this way, they are not exactly going to have a fulfilling life. They will have a life of routine, a job that is mind numbing and they are unlikely to care that their freedoms are being taken away. Someone like this will have been domesticated and, to top it off, they can be completely oblivious to the fact that the people in power are not willing to respect the fact that that they are a sovereign being. The trouble is that as one is in a traumatised state and has a strong need to be comfortable, not free, there is going to be no reason for them to notice what is taking place. Cui Bono An integrated human being - someone who can think critically, is capable of showing love and is not interested in controlling anyone – would want to do what they could to get another person, and society as a whole, out of a traumatised state. Nevertheless, if someone has no self and can only experience a sense of power by controlling others, the last thing that they are going to want is for another person to operate as a whole human being. With this in mind, what if the people behind the scenes, so to speak, are working overtime to keep humanity in a traumatised state? It would be easy to see this as a ‘conspiracy theory’ – a term that is often used to dismiss anything that goes against the official narrative, in order to try to stop people from becoming aware of what is actually going on – but the evidence is there if someone has an open mind. Nothing is Random So whether it is the terrorism that is designed to terrorise people even more, the other countries that are portrayed as threats or the fairly new threat of the world ending at any moment, it all serves the same purpose. All these things, as well as others, help to keep a large part of the population in a very low place. There is then no need for the people at the top to use weapons or to threaten anyone, as the people that are in a traumatised state will happily trade more freedom for security. Naturally, this is a lot easier and a lot smoother than using violence to make people do things. Conclusion The trauma that so many people have experienced in their present life may have gone on top of the trauma that was passed down to them from their ancestors. Thus, even if they hadn’t experienced anything traumatic, what their ancestors went through and were unable to deal with may have still made it hard for them to operate as whole human beings. Undoubtedly, humanity has been traumatised for hundreds and hundreds of years, and this trauma is what most likely needs to be dealt with in order for the world to truly change. It is unlikely that humanity as a whole will get together and work through their trauma, which is why this is about individuals healing themselves.

Oliver JR Cooper http://www.oliverjrcooper.co.uk Critical Thinking: Does The Establishment Control People By Keeping Them In A State Of Ignorance?17/9/2019
In order for someone to find out about if something is true or not, it will most likely be vital for them to have access to a wide range of information. When this takes place, it will be possible for them to come to an accurate conclusion.
Simply having access to a lot of information won’t be adequate; the reason for this is that all this information could be the same. So by having access to a number of different sources, one will be able to filter through what is right and what isn’t. The power of Contrast Another way of looking at it would be to say that when one only has access to information that is in alignment with a certain outlook, it will be as though they are in the dark. Yet, by having access to many different viewpoints, it will be as if a light has been turned on. They will be able to run their mind over many different points of view and to come to their own conclusion. If they only had access to one point of view, it would be a lot harder for them to know whether or not it is accurate. The Best Approach With this in mind, if someone wants to understand what is taking place around them - or at least try to understand - it won’t be a good idea for them to only view one source of information. If they do this, they are going to be severely restricted. What will be a good idea will be for them view many different sources of information. There will be the mainstream media sources and then there will be the media sources that are not mainstream. Another Source As is typically the case in the political realm, the media often provides two perspectives. So a number of papers will have one view and a number of other papers will have another view. If, then, one takes a closer look at what the alternative media sources are coming out with, this will provide them with a number of other ways of looking at the world. One can then take all these views and come to their own conclusion about what is right and what isn’t. A Continual Process Now, this is not to say that one will form an opinion about something and that will be it, as their opinions can change as time goes by. In the same way that a car company will update a car as more technology is invented; one will update their views as and when they become aware information that refutes what they believe. Therefore, in the same way that one would need to regularly clean their sunglass to see what is going on around them; they will also need to regularly update what they believe to make sure that their views are accurate. The Same Structure At the same time, this doesn’t mean that one will need to continually change absolutely everything that they believe. Just as the chassis of a car can stay the same with only certain features changing each time a new version is released; one can have certain views that don’t change. There is then going to be a structure in their mind that rarely changes and this structure will help them to ascertain whether or not something is true or false. Still, there could come a time when they will learn about something that will completely disrupt this inner structure. The Modern Day World However, although having access to many different views is the key to finding out about what is true and what isn’t, there is a downside to this. The downside to this is that someone might actually grasp what is taking place in the world. This is something that will benefit them in a number of ways; what is wont do is benefit the people that are only interested in controlling them. These people can be described as the establishment, but it doesn’t really matter what they are called. The Key For these people to shape the destiny of the planet, the last thing that they want is for the people on the planet to be aware of what is actually going on around them and what has been going on. The only way that their plans can unfold is if the majority of people on the planet are kept in a state of ignorance. Before the internet was available, it was a lot easier for them to control what people could or couldn’t find out. It was then only going to be a matter of time before they started to control what could or couldn’t be found online. The Big Purge Certain videos and websites have simply been removed, while others have been removed under the guise of ‘hate speech’ or another term that they have created. By doing this, they can limit the information that is available; making it harder for people to accurately assess what is going on. Yet, by removing information from search engines and video platforms, for instance, there will be plenty of people who are not even aware of the fact that there are other ways of looking at the world. The version that the mainstream presents will just be seen as the truth; nothing more, nothing less. It’s Easy There is then going to be no reason for them to prove that what they are banning is actually hateful as they can just say that it is hateful and ban it before most people get the chance to take a deeper look or remove it with only a few people ever finding out about it. They are probably only too aware of what would happen if they didn’t control what people could or couldn’t see – the world would radically change. What also can’t be overlooked here is that, with the help of the education system – indoctrination system – so many people have been conditioned to see the world in a certain way. Having been taught what to think, not how to think, many of these people are not going to resist what is taking place. Conclusion It has been said that the only way that a problem can be fixed is if it becomes clear what the problem really is. Unless this takes place, it is likely that it will end up getting even worse as time goes by. Taking this into account, it could be said that one reason why the world doesn’t really change is because the establishment does everything it can to prevent the populace from understanding what is going. Through keeping so many of them in a place of ignorance, it stops the real issues from being dealt with.

Oliver JR Cooper http://www.oliverjrcooper.co.uk The Media: Is It Important For Someone To Be Sceptical When It Comes To The Mainstream Media?17/9/2019
If someone was to read a newspaper or to watch a news station, they might keep a mental distance (psychological distance) from what they are exposed to. Said another way, they won’t let what they hear to go straight into their mind.
Through being this way, they will be able to take a deeper look into what is being said. Naturally, it will take more effort and energy for them to do this, but it will be a way for them to protect own their mind. An important Ability What this is going to illustrate is that one is sceptical, not someone who will just go along with what they are told. Perhaps they have been this way for as long as they can remember or maybe they developed this ability in their later life. Nonetheless, having this ability doesn’t mean that they will never be fooled; after all, they are a fallible human being. Yet, although they will be fooled from time to time, this will be something that doesn’t take place as often as it would if they were not sceptical. One Agenda They might be only too aware of the fact that the mainstream media doesn’t exist to inform people about what is actually taking place in the world. Instead, it will be clear that this source exists to define how people see the world. This source will have a narrative and the narrative that it creates will be presented as the absolute truth. So, thanks to their ability to question what they are told as opposed to swallowing it wholesale, this will be something that stands out. Their Priority They may be used to being around people that are radically different, with these people buying into the accepted narrative. One most likely won’t be concerned about what these people think of them as they will be more concerned with finding out about what is true and what isn’t. There could be times when they share different ways of looking at something with these people, but when they do, it might soon be clear that this is a waste of time. Directing their energy into other pursuits is then going to be far more fruitful. Another Source What they may do, to get a more balanced view of what is taking place, is to look towards the alternative media. Once again, though, they may realise that it is important to question what they are exposed to. It might be clear that some of the sources that are available have been created to deceive those that are not willing to be deceived by the mainstream media. They might see a number of these sources as being ‘false opposition’. All bases Are Covered Therefore, whoever it is that is in control of what the mainstream media does or doesn’t say will also be responsible for what some of the alternative media sources come out with. Undoubtedly, if the establishment hadn’t created their own opposition, it would have been a massive oversight. One might see the mainstream media and the alternative media as being very similar to the left and right in politics - two sides controlled by the same hand. If they were not aware of this, they could have got out of one hole and fallen straight into another hole. A Different Experience Conversely, someone could read a newspaper or watch a news station and they could allow what they hear to go straight into their mind. Or if this doesn’t happen, it might only be because they are reading a paper that they don’t usually read or station that they don’t usually watch. They are then not going to have the need to take a deeper look into what they are told and to see if there is any truth to it. That is unless, of course, what they have been told goes against what another mainstream source has told them. No Effort Required As a result of this, ones views will have basically been given to them by the mainstream media. What they think is good or bad, or right or wrong will depend on what this source has told them is good or bad, or right or wrong. And even though they won’t have done their own research and come to their own conclusion, they might be happy to criticise anyone that has done their own research and come to their own conclusion. The mainstream media will have made out that there is only one way of looking at the world and they will have embodied this outlook. Blind Trust This source of information is then going to be like a parent and they will be like a child, meaning that they will go along with whatever they are told. The fact that this source might have a hidden agenda might not even enter their mind. Like a parent, it can be as if this source has their best interest at heart, taking away their need to think for themselves. This external authority will take care of everything for them, thereby allowing them to focus on other things. A Puppet Maybe someone like this is intellectually undeveloped or maybe they just don’t like thinking, who knows. But what is crystal clear is that someone like this is not going to be a threat to the system. Unknowingly, and like a sheep, they will be happy to go wherever they are directed to go. One way to describe someone like this would be to say that they are the perfect slave – someone who is totally oblivious to their servitude. Conclusion Controlling what information people are and are not exposed to can be seen as one of the many ways that the so-called few control the many. The people at the top take advantage of the blind trust that so many people put in the mainstream media and in recent years, the alternative media. Lastly, if someone can see that they have the tendency to believe what they are told and rarely detach from what they hear, and they want this to change, it will be important for them to develop this ability. One thing that can allow them to develop this ability is meditation.

In the past, dermal fillers were only used by a small amount of women but, as time has passed, this has changed. Far more women use them than ever before and there are undoubtedly a number of reasons as to why this is.
One important distinction that needs to be made here is the difference between a dermal filler and Botox. A dermal filler is something that smoothes out the skin to reduce wrinkles; whereas Botox is something that freezes muscles to reduce wrinkles. The Reasons If something hasn’t been around for long, only a small amount of people can know about it and it can cost a fair amount of money. Therefore, as time goes by, more people can find out about it and the cost can come down. Additionally, it can be hard to get hold of something if it has only just come out. So when it comes to fillers, not many women will have known about it at the beginning, it would have probably cost far too much for the average women to be able to afford to have this procedure done, and there would have only been a time when there were only a few places that offered this procedure. A Key Part When it comes to what has allowed more and more women to find out about this procedure, what can’t be overlooked is the effect that celebrities have had. There are certain celebrities that talk openly about what work they have had done, while there are those that hide it. However, even if a female celebrity is not open about the fact that she uses fillers, it doesn’t mean that it will be hard to spot. Providing one is aware of how someone usually looks when they use them, it could stand out. The Look As someone gets older their face changes – the firmness and fullness that was there during their younger years will gradually disappear as the years go by. Thanks to dermal fillers, though, something can be done about it. After someone gets a treatment, they may find that it lasts for about six to eighteen months. When it is done right it can make a massive difference but, as is the case with most things, if it isn’t done right it can lead to all kinds of problems. All Ages These fillers haven’t just been used by female celebrities who are heading towards the latter stages of their life; no, they have also been used by female celebrities who are in the early stages of their life. For some of these women, their teenage years won’t be very far behind them and there will be others that are still teenagers. One way of looking at this would be to say that not everyone ages in the same way and this is why these younger women have this procedure done. Another way of looking at it would be to say that while this may be the case for some, for others it is a reflection of how insecure they are. It’s Always There So if a woman follows these celebrities online and spends a fair amount of time watching so-called reality TV, there is a strong chance that she will see a lot of women that use fillers. And, if this is how she lives her life, a number of her female friends could also use these fillers. Let’s say that the years have gone by and her face is no longer as full as it used to be, she may have the need to undergo this procedure herself. This could be seen as understandable, given how much pressure there is in today’s world to look young. Out of Balance Nowadays, if something is new it is often seen as being better than something that is old, and this relates to objects as much as it does to people. What his has done is given some women, and some men are starting to getting caught up in this too, the view that they need to look like a teenager forever. Of course, this is not something that is possible, no matter how many fillers one uses. Ultimately, if someone tries to look young forever, they are fighting a battle that they simple cannot win. A Deeper Look It would be easy to say that an older woman would have this pressure due to social pressure, but this would paint her as a victim. What is going on ‘out there’ is then going to define how she sees and feels about herself. But what if there is another reason why a woman like this would feel the need to have this procedure done? Also, perhaps it is the same reason why a young woman, a woman whose face looks fine, would have the need to have this done. What’s going on? If a woman wants to have something done to her face, irrespective of what her age is, it is likely to show that she doesn’t feel comfortable in her own skin. Having something done to her appearance is then going to be seen as a way for this to change. Yet, although it may seem as though her appearance is the problem, there is the chance that what is taking place inside her is preventing her from being able to see herself clearly. If this is so, it could show that she feels worthless. Seeing with her mind, not her eyes As a result of this, it might not matter what she does to her appearance as it won’t change how she actually feels about herself – if it does, it probably won’t last. In order for her to view of herself to change, she will need to change her inner world. If this takes place, she may find that it is lot easier for her to accept her appearance and by doing this; her whole demeanour is likely to change. Other people will pick up on how she feels about herself, either consciously or unconsciously, and be drawn to her energy. Awareness If a woman believes that she is worthless and carries a far amount of toxic shame, it could show that her early years were not very nurturing. Perhaps this was a time when she was abused and/or neglected. There will be the beliefs that she will need to question and the toxic shame inside her that will need to be brought out into the light, so that it can gradually dissipate. This is something can take place with the assistance of a therapist, healer or a support group.

No matter where in the world someone is or what time it is, the mainstream media will be there to inform them about what is taking place. This source of information will tell them about what is going on around them and that is going on further afield.
The main reason for this is that one no longer needs to watch TV, listen to the radio or read newspapers in order to stay update; the only thing that they need to do is to go online. So, providing they have a Smartphone, they will be fine. A Different Experience In a way, it will be as if one has their own newsreader that is there to tell them about what is going on around them. Of course, they won’t have someone on their phone who talks to them directly. But what they will have is a practically endless amount of videos, articles, podcasts and live streams at their finger tips. And if they want to find out about anything in particular, they can simply use a search engine. One Perspective One way to look at all this would be to say that it is a good thing, as unlike their ancestors, they can stay up to date with what is going on it the world. How fortunate they are, then, with this being something that they would have missed out on if they were born in a different era. By being up to date with what is going on, one may find that they feel more at ease. Due to what they learn each day, they will be able to give their mind the information that it needs to understand what is going on and to settle down. Another Outlook Nonetheless, even though one can believe that they are ‘informed’, it doesn’t mean that this is actually the case. When it comes to what one is aware of, it can simply relate to what this source wants them to be aware of. Its other words, this source is not simply telling them about what is going on in the world; it is only telling them about certain things. Now, it could be said that this is to be expected as it can’t cover everything. The Big Question This is something that can’t be denied, but why is one thing given exposure and another thing completely overlooked? One reason that could be put forward is that not everything is important enough to be covered. It is not as though this is something that can be denied, but then, who is it that decides whether or not something is important? Would it be right to say that important stories haven’t been overlooked over the years? Conditioned It might be more accurate to say that this source of information is not really there to inform people and that this is just the illusion that it has created over the years. One can then believe that they are ‘in the know’; when in reality, they can know very little about what is actually going on. Sure, their mind can be full of information about what is going on, but what is in their head will be in alignment with the narrative that this source of information wants them to buy into. Making sure that one doesn’t realise this will be essential for them to continue to be lead down the garden path. One Part It wouldn’t be right to say that this source is merely there to deceive others, though, and this is something that can be observed by paying attention to what it generally gives exposure to. Regardless of what day it is or what time of the day that one pays attention to this source, there will be something negative for them to consume. The argument that could be put forward here is that this is because bad things are happening in the world. Therefore, if this source didn’t do this it would be creating a very one dimensional view of the world. One Step Back Nonetheless, if this source exists to define how people see reality, it will be clear that it wants to control people. And if it does want to control people, making sure that their inner world is in total disarray is certainly going to help. If someone’s mind is clear and their emotions are settled, it is going to be a lot easier for them to think clearly and to make good decisions. On the other hand, if this is not the case, it will most likely be a challenge for them to think clearly and to do things that will serve their highest good. An Easy Target Taking this into account, a big part of controlling someone will be to make sure that they are constantly exposed to things that will traumatise them. There will be no need for this source to focus on the big things all the time as the small things will do the job. In fact, if this source focuses on smaller things, it can allow them to traumatize someone so slowly that they don’t even realise what is taking place. But while they won’t be aware of what is going on, their mind and body will suffer. The Perfect Zombie Once they are in this state, this source will be able to continue to administer their poison. Ones inner world will have been taken over by a pathogen and they will be like a sitting duck. Clearly, someone like this is not going to be a threat to the establishment and in a position where they could help to create a different world. They will be in a bad way and they might look towards the system to save them. Conclusion There is no doubt that there is a difference between someone being informed and being loaded up with propaganda. Nevertheless, it will be important for one to think about how informed they want to be. If being informed means being loaded up with fear and not being in a good way, it is not going to serve them. They will probably be able to do far more good for the world if they make sure that they are in a good way and allow their inner goodness to touch others.

It would be easy for someone to come to the conclusion that more people are into politics than ever before. One reason for this is that so much of what is spoken about on social media relates to this area.
If someone was to engage in black and white thinking, they could even believe that everyone is into this area. Yet if they were to use their ability to think, and didn’t get caught up in this type of faulty thinking, it would still be clear that this is an area that plenty of people pay attention to. A Number of Options And although some people will just share things online, there will be others that have gone even further. Some of these people will describe themselves as activists, meaning that they will spend a lot of their time attending different rallies, amongst others things. For others, this will also include writing articles, making videos and giving talks. There will even be a small amount of people who are hoping to move up the ladder and to become politicians. One Outlook One way to look at the people that spend a fair amount of their time engaged in this area would be to say that they are simply people that care. Someone like this will have a clear sense that the world isn’t right and they will want to correct this. According to this, the greater their interest, the greater their sense will be that something isn’t right. However, even if this is what is running through their conscious mind, it doesn’t mean that what is taking place in their unconscious mind is not playing a part in all this. The Difference When it comes to what is taking place at a deeper level, in their unconscious mind, this will relate to things that they are not aware of. Said another way, one can believe that they are doing something for one reason, but this could be nothing more than an illusion. Behind the reason/s that they say they are doing something could be a number of other reasons, and these reasons might not have anything to do with the reason/s they are consciously aware of. One way for someone to find out why they are really drawn to this area would be to connect to themselves and to see what comes up. Going Inside This might not be as easy as it would be for them to go inside a house and to see what’s in there, though, as it could take a while for them to really tune into how they feel. One will be getting out of their head and going into their body; this is where they will be able to connect with their emotional reason/s for why they do what they do. If one is carrying a lot of emotional pain and has disconnected from their body in order to protect themselves from this pain, it could take a while for them to reconnect to it. One thing they may need to do is to reach out for external support, so that they can work through this pain. Worth the Effort Meditating a few times a week can also help them to detach from their mind and to be more objective. Anyway, through engaging in this work, one can gradually find out if they are really aware of why they are drawn to this area. If they were to find out that they are not doing it for the reason/s they thought they were, it will allow them to direct their time and energy towards the things that do matter to them. Still, it could be said it is unlikely that someone like this would take this route, due to the fact that they will probably be so caught up in what is taking place externally. Totally Absorbed Like someone who is eating their favourite food; they could be completely immersed in what is going on and have absolutely no desire to change. It is then not going to matter if they are unaware of the reason/s why they are behaving in this way. What this shows is that one thing that the political realm will do for someone is to provide them with a distraction. Instead of having to focus on their own life and any challenges that they may have, they can focus on what is going on out there. Avoidance If they were to get in touch with how they feel, they could find that they feel powerless, helpless and worthless, and their life may lack meaning. But, by focusing on the problems of the world and receiving attention from others – that’s if they go into the political arena themselves – they can keep how they feel at bay, feel strong and powerful, receive approval, and experience meaning. Thanks, in part, to the fact that there will be people who will give their power away to them, one can feel powerful by having power over others. And the further up they go, the more power they can have over the people that have renounced their own power. Another Part What this can also illustrate is that they lack boundaries, which is why they have no trouble telling others how to live their own life. Without a strong sense of where they begin and end, and where other people begin and end, walking over others can just feel normal. For much of their own life, they may have had numerous people walk over them. Due to the profession that they are in, walking over others will just be part and parcel of their job. One More Even if one doesn’t want to get into politics and only follows what is going on, this can still take care of their adrenaline addiction. One can find that they only feel alive when their body is filled with adrenalin and, fortunately for them, there is always plenty of drama taking place in this domain. Yet, if there is very little is going on, one will be able to count on the mainstream media to create something out of nothing. Thus, while a drug addict can go to their dealer to get a hit, one can simply watch TV or read a paper to get their hit. Way Back Regardless of what point above is looked at, what took place during their early years will have most likely played a part. If one is in a lot of pain and feels powerless, worthless and hopeless, for instance, this could show that they were neglected at this stage of their life. As for not having boundaries, this may mean that they were brought up by at least one caregiver who walked over them. This would have prevented them from feeling safe in their own body and developing boundaries. If they are hooked on adrenaline, there is the chance that this time in their life was very traumatic. Perhaps they lived in a very unstable environment where they had to walk on eggshells. Conclusion Taking this into account, it shows how someone’s early years can influence what they are drawn to as an adult. Instead acting like a conscious human being, they can end up replaying their early childhood dynamics. The way for this to change, and for them to own their own inner wounds, will be for them to become aware of what they are doing. This might happen as time goes by; then again, due to how absorbing this area is it might not happen at all.

Whenever someone spends time on social media, they could end up looking through what their friends have been doing. Furthermore, they could look into what certain celebrities have been doing.
When this takes place, there could be times when they end up feeling happy and times when they end up feeling sad. There could also be a number of other emotional states that they go into when they look over what other people have been doing. One Reason Now, if one of their friends was to share a happy picture of themselves or some good news, it could result in them also feeling good. If the opposite took place, one could end up feeling bad. What this could illustrate is that this is someone who they are really close to. Then again, one could just be someone who has a lot of empathy, which is why they have the tendency to experience strong emotions when go online. Pulled In Another reason why one could experience a strong reaction when they see what another person has been doing is because they have made a comparison. If one believes that their life is better than one of their friends, they could feel good; but if they don’t, they could feel bad. They might not simply compare their life with other people’s lives, though; they could also compare their appearance with them too. If this was to take place, it is likely to show that one looks to what is going on ‘out there’ to gauge how well they are doing in life. A Losing Battle The trouble with this approach is that one didn’t start from the same point as anyone else, and they are on their own path in life. Taking this into account, it would be far healthier for them to compare themselves with where they started. By looking back on their own timeline and seeing where they started from, they will be able to accurately assess how well they are doing. When one compares their life with someone else’s life, it will be similar to a dog comparing their life with a horse. A Waste of Time What will have most likely played a part in why one would compare their life with someone else’s life is the conditioning that they have received throughout their life. Their time in the school system, for instance, will have most likely played a big part. This would have probably been a time when they were just seen as another child who needed to be educated, as opposed to a child that already had knowledge within them. But if they were taught by people that had also gone though the same programming, this is to be expected. An Illusion At the same time, even if one did start off at the same starting point as everyone else and was also on the same path, it still doesn’t mean that it would be a good idea for them to compare their life with others online. The reason for this is that what they see online might have very little basis in reality. One can then believe that one of their friends is doing really well, yet it doesn’t mean that this is actually the case. In the same way that someone can edit their pictures to make themselves look perfect; they can also edit their life to create the impression that everything is perfect. Effortless Just as a house can look great on the outside but be in complete mess on the inside, someone life’s can also be the same. It is not as though it is hard for someone to make out that their life is perfect online. To create this impression, the only thing that they need to do is to upload pictures where they are on holiday and are smiling. The areas of their life that are not going well can be kept offline. No Better Off One can then compare their life with someone else’s life, believing that this person’s life is better than theirs, and the other person could be in a very bad place. This person could even be looking at what one has been doing and wish that their life was like theirs. But even though this person’s life is not going well, they might be too ashamed to open up to anyone about it. Their need to maintain the image that they have created is going to be more important than their own happiness. A Big Trap What this shows is that not only can one suffer if they get too caught up in what they see online; they can also suffer if they use social media to try to make out that their life is perfect. One way for one to stop themselves from getting too sucked into what they see, is for them to think about what they are not seeing. Ultimately, no matter how good someone’s life is, there are bound to be things that they are not happy with. Everyone on this planet has stuff to deal with, and even if someone is rich, famous and talented, it doesn’t mean that they don’t have problems. Conclusion If one finds that they are not happy with the direction that their life is going, it will be a good idea for them to look into what they can do to get back on track. The time and energy that goes into comparing their life with others can be directed towards their own growth. They owe it to themselves to live a life that is fulfilling, so fulfilling that they no longer need to compare their life with the edited lives that they see online. There is plenty of information online when it comes to what they can do to transform their life.
