At the height of the pandemic, it wasn’t possible for a lot of people to live as they usually would. This was a time when so many people had to isolate themselves from others and were only able to go out for the basics and perhaps to work, that’s if they were a key worker, for instance.
As time passed, most of the restrictions were lifted and life more or less went back to normal. What played a part in this was a vaccine that was initially positioned as something that would stop people from contracting the virus. Another Experience However, there are still countries that have not gone back to normal and this means that a lot of restrictions are still in place. A country like this can then be very similar to how another country was a little while ago. For those who live in a country like this, they can wonder if what they are going through will ever end. It can be as though they are stuck in a nightmare with no end in sight. A Temporary Situation For those countries that have more or less gone back to normal, what was going on before might not receive a great deal of attention but that doesn’t mean that it will have been completely cast aside. The media and other sources are still likely to mention it from time to time. Along with this, they can often hear about at least one other threat that is seen as being just as, if not more, destructive than the last one. Therefore, it might not be long until a number of the restrictions that were put in place before and lifted, return. Very Different Now, it wouldn’t be right to say that this is the only time that certain measures have been put in place that undermines people’s freedom. Take terrorism, for instance, this led to different laws being created and more security cameras being put in place, among other things. This meant that some of the things that could be done before could no longer be done and depending on where someone is, their every move can be watched and recorded. It could then be said that what each event does is chip away at what someone can do. A Mixed Response For some people, it doesn’t really matter what is going on; their main priority is to feel safe. For someone like this, they will trust those at the top, so to speak, to do the right thing and they are seldom going to question what they do. For others, it might also not matter what is going on; but their priority won’t be to feel safe. For someone like this, they are not going to simply trust that those at the top, so to speak, will do the right thing and they will question what they do. A Clear Stance Someone like this could say that it is not right that their freedoms are being taken away and that their fellow human beings need to push back. Furthermore, they could say that if they and their fellow citizens allow this to happen, there will always be one crisis after another. According to this view, the people at the top, then, will see how easy it is to take away people's rights and will continue to go down the same path. This, of course, will show that they believe that what has, what is and what will happen in the future is not random and is planned. One Conclusion If someone who trusts their government was to hear this, they could label this person as being a “conspiracy therapist.” In their eyes, this person won’t be of sound mind and, thus, will have views that are irrational. Yet, if someone doesn’t trust their government, they could label the person above as being a “sheep.” They could believe that someone like this is not of sound mind, which is why they blindly accept just about whatever they are told. Stepping Back If these two types of people were put to one side, along with what is going on ‘out there’, it will create the opportunity to look at what is going on differently. What if a large part of humanity feels comfortable living a life where they don’t have a great deal of freedom? For one type of person, the one that was mentioned above, this could be seen as being an accurate assessment, but, for another type, the one that was also mentioned above, this could be seen as being inaccurate. After all, the second type is resisting what is going on. It’s hidden However, even if someone consciously resists what is going on, it doesn’t mean that they are against what is going on at a deeper level. Ergo, those who are against what is going on are not necessarily going to be radically different to those who don’t. Deep down, at an unconscious level, irrespective of how they behave, someone can feel comfortable being treated like a child, as opposed to a sovereign human being. Being in a position where someone else has power over them and tells them how to live their life is then going to feel comfortable. A Continuation One way of looking at this would be to say that although they will look like an adult, they will still carry a child inside them. This child will give them the need for an external source to look after and protect them. What this could show is that their early years were not very nurturing, with this being a time when their caregiver/s and/or other adults abused their power. Then again, it might not be this black and white. A Natural outcome Either way, if a large part of humanity is made up of people who have this need, it is not going much of a surprise that the world is the way that it is. On one level, there will be those who look for this and those who resist this. And, on another level, what is taking place within each person’s consciousness will feed into the collective consciousness and co-create a reality where there are people who are there to look after them. These people will provide them with the stability that they are either consciously or unconsciously looking for but it will come at a great price. The Mirror What this illustrates is that what is going ‘out there’ is not random and someone is not purely a passive observer of their reality. Nonetheless, their extroverted mind, along with their eyes, will create the impression that they have no effect on what is going on ‘out there’. Naturally, without this understanding, it is to be expected that a large part of humanity will see themselves as a being controlled by an external source. In reality, what is going on around them will shed light on what is going on within them. Final Thoughts The key, then, will be for an individual to look into how they truly feel about being free and to work through any issues that arise. By doing this, they will gradually be taking away their energy from a reality where there are people ‘out there’ who are happy to control them and feeding it into a very different reality. This can be a time when they will be working through wounds that relate to their adult years, childhood years, their birth, time in their mother’s womb and even from other lives that they have had. To do this, they may require external support.

If the average person was asked to explain why the world is the way that it is, they could say that it is because of the people at the top. So, when it comes to the reason why so many people are struggling to survive and so many resources are in the hands of the few, for example, this will be why.
With this in mind, if it wasn’t for these people or the different families that have been around for hundreds of years according to some, then, the world would be very different. Not only would each individual have their basic needs met at the very least, but the world would be far more harmonious and peaceful. One Solution Thus, to put an end to what is going on and for the world to change, there will be one thing that needs to take place; the people at the top will need to be dealt with. Until that happens, the average person will be totally powerless and will have to accept just about whatever happens. Another way of looking at this would be to say that those at the top will be the perpetrators and those at the bottom, so to speak, will be victims. Ultimately, there will be a massive power imbalance; a power imbalance that has a lot in common with a parent-child relationship. A Bleak Existence Merely thinking about this could cause the average person to feel totally hopeless and helpless. What could come to mind is that their only option is to accept how the world is and/or to do what they can to “wake” people up. By waking people up, they can believe that they will be able to put an end to what is going on. So, once enough people wake up, it will be possible to directly deal with those who are in control and for these people to face the consequences of their actions. The Evidence Is There If they were told that it is not this black and white and that those at the top don’t have all the power, they could end up dismissing this. They could say that this doesn’t reflect reality, and that one only needs to look at how many people are struggling to survive right now while the elites are continuing to thrive, to see how powerless so many people are. This will be what is going on and what will prove that those at the top have far more power than the average person. The average person will be like a sheep that is at the whim of the sheep dog when it comes to how they live their life. Stepping Back If at this point, it was also put forward that they, along with their fellow human beings, are not just observers of reality and that they are also co-creators of it, this could also be dismissed. This is likely to show that they are strongly identified with their mind; the part of them, along with their eyes, that will create the impression that they are passively observing what is going on ‘out there’. By being this way, they, along with their fellow citizens who are ‘at the bottom’, will have very little if any control over their life or what takes place on the earth and what does take place will be a consequence of what the elites are doing. This view, the view that they are powerless, is also likely to be supported by the society that they live in. An illusion Still, what if they, along with their fellow citizens who are ‘at the bottom’, are not powerless victims and are actually helping to sustain the very reality that is enslaving them? If one is strongly identified with their minds sense of separation and believes that they are simply observing reality, then, of course, they won’t be able to accept this. But, if they were to realise that their own consciousness, along with everyone else’s, has an impact on their life and what takes place on the earth as a whole, it would be very different. This will mean that what is taking place inside them, so their thoughts, emotions, feelings and beliefs, is not just held inside them and that’s the end of it, it is actively shaping their external reality. An Analogy One way for one to understand this would be for them to imagine that the world they live in is a house that they don’t like. It will then seem as though this house just exists and there is nothing that they can do about it. In reality, they, along with their fellow citizens, will be holding this house up without knowing it. If their own consciousness was to radically change, along with the consciousness of many others, this house would end up falling down. The Big Deception There will be a number of things that will make it hard for them, and their fellow citizens, to see this. As has already been said, there will be their extroverted mind, along with their eyes, that sees itself as a powerless observer of reality and they will live in a society that is a manifestation of this viewpoint, something that can be seen as a manifestation of ego-consciousness. Also, they will have a brain that represses pain and once it has been repressed, their conscious mind will forget all about it. This pain won’t just lie dormant in their unconscious mind, though, it will play a part in what they do and don’t experience and it will feed into the collective consciousness and, thus, have an impact on what happens on the planet as a whole. The Law of Resonance What this illustrates is that while their mind will deceive them and the society that they live in will tell them, in one way or another, that they are a powerless victim, this is not the truth. Beyond the physical form that they take, they are made of vibrating energy. This means that what is taking place inside them is literally co-creating their life and together, with their fellow human beings, they are co-creating what takes place on the planet. On one level, then, everything is solid and their mind will back this up, but, on another level, it isn’t. Final Thoughts Considering this, the only reason that the ‘elites’ have so much control is that so many people have unknowingly given it to them. By forgetting who they are and how powerful they are, it has led to the creation of a world where the few rule the many. Thanks to the current reality that a large part of humanity has largely manifested unconsciously, the elites do have a lot of control, but, as soon as enough people ‘wake up’ and decide to create a different reality, this will change. A big part of what allows the ‘elite’ to stay in control, then, is for them to maintain the illusion that they have absolute control and that the average person is powerless.

If someone was to think about changing the world, what could come to mind are all the things that they could do. This could be seen as the only way for them to have an impact on what is taking place out there.
Sitting around and waiting for things to change could be seen as the only other option that is available. Then again, if another option was to come to mind, it could involve someone who is rich and/or powerful making a difference. A Common View In most societies around the world, this is likely to be an outlook that is the rule as opposed to the exception. The person above is then going to be surrounded by people who also see life in the same way, at least in this regard. So, when it comes to what is going on out there, they, along with most of their fellow citizens, will have very little to do with it. They are likely to see themselves as nothing more than an observer of their reality. A Random World By being a passive observer of it, most of what takes place in their own life will just happen and most of what takes place on the earth will also just happen. Or, if they don’t have this view, there will be certain people who have control over their life and the planet. Either way, both they and most people on the planet will be nothing more than victims of circumstances. Therefore, the people at the top, so to speak, will be the ones who have the greatest ability to change how things are. A Passive State As this view is so common, it is not a surprise that so many people feel pretty helpless when it comes to how the world is and their ability to make a difference. If someone doesn’t feel helpless, they can just end up being indifferent to what is going on. This will be a way for them to protect themselves and no longer have to experience the pain of feeling helpless. What is clear is that being this way will make it hard for them to feel alive. A Sense of Separation Another way of looking at all this would be to say that in a society like this, someone will be separate from everyone and everything. This is then why taking action and doing things will be the only way to have an impact on the world. However, what if this sense of separation is a product of their ego and is an illusion? And instead of someone simply observing what is going on out there, what if they are actually observing their own creation? Back To Front If this is the case, it would mean that someone, along with their fellow human beings, is not a victim of circumstances. It would mean that they are a powerful co-creator of their reality and together, with others, they are defining what takes place on the planet. What is going on out there will be a reflection of what is taking place internally for humanity. With this in mind, purely focusing on the issues that are out there and overlooking the issues that are on the inside will be a waste of both time and energy. An Analogy It will be the equivalent of endlessly focusing on and mopping up the water that is on a kitchen floor. Without dealing with the leak itself, the water will continue to appear. Now, removing this water can allow someone to feel good and as though they have achieved something, and this will be necessary for them to use the kitchen, but it won’t truly resolve anything. After a while, they could up moving home and the next owners could do the same thing. The Same Old Story When it comes to the last part, this will relate to the fact that once one generation has given up, the next generation will inherit a number of the same issues and continue to do the same thing. At this point, someone could wonder how their inner world impacts their outer world. What they will need to keep in mind is that although they and everyone and everything else look solid, this is also an illusion. At the root, all that appears as solid is made up of vibrating energy. The Law of Resonance When it comes to their vibration, this will be influenced by their thoughts, feelings, emotions and beliefs. What is going on inside them will then serve as a magnet that pulls in people, places, circumstances and events that are an energetic match. With this in mind, for there to be war, conflict and misery out there, it has to exist inside a certain amount of people’s inner world. If the world was filled with people who were in harmony, at peace and full of love, the external world would reflect this. Two Parts What will make it hard for someone to see this connection is that on one level, the level of their conscious mind, they can be full of ‘goodness’ and do a lot of the ‘right’ things. But, when it comes to the unconscious mind, the part of them that is far bigger and more powerful than their conscious mind, they can be full of ‘badness’. This part of them will contain painful feelings and the parts of themselves that are seen as bad and unacceptable, among other things. Their conscious mind will be oblivious to what is held inside this part of their consciousness but it will still influence their reality and feed into the collective consciousness and thus, what takes place on the planet. Final Thoughts Purely focusing on what is going on out there is highly appealing as it will allow someone to avoid themselves and potentially receive a lot of positive feedback. Yet, if they are not dealing with their own baggage, they won’t be as effective as they would be otherwise. In fact, they can end up doing more harm than good, or at the very least, help to sustain the very reality that they want to change. What this comes down to is that what is resisted is what will persist and trying to change the world is an example of resistance. If they were to see the external world as a mirror that is reflecting back what they need to resolve inside themselves, they will be playing their part. This will allow them to be the change that they want to see, instead of trying to change their own reflection.

If on one side, there are those who believe just about everything the media says, on the other, there are those who believe very little of what this source says. As a result of this, when it comes to how the former see the world, it is going to be very different to how the latter see the world.
This is, of course, a very black and white way of looking at things, and there are going to be many different views on both sides of the spectrum. However, when someone doesn’t look towards the system to inform them, they are more likely to have views that are seen as being crazy. Way Out There If they were to share a few of their views with the average person, they could be seen as someone who is totally deluded, if not insane. Compared with what this person has heard from the mainstream media, what they say can appear to have no basis in reality. Due to the fact that what they say is so different to what this source says, it will soon be dismissed. As opposed to one being seen as having a good understanding of what is going on, then, they will be viewed in a negative light. Validation What will support their view is that the media often labels anyone who questions the accepted narrative as being a conspiracy theorist. This term, a term that is said to have been created by the CIA to silence dissent, will be used to shame and even pathologies anyone who doesn’t go along with what this source says. This source, unlike other sources, will have the monopoly on the truth and every other source will be dispensing misinformation and fake news. One way to look at this would be to say that the media is like a parental figure who abuses their power and the consumers of it are like their children, and the complete acceptance of and submission to this authority is the only thing that will be tolerated. A Grey Area Now, while it would be easy to say that someone will find out about what is really going on when they look away from the mainstream media and towards alternative sources, this wouldn’t be the complete truth. The reason for this is that there are so many different views and while some of them will be accurate, some will be close to it, and some will be way off. With this in mind, it will be essential for someone to think critically and not to simply go along with something just because it sounds right, is coming from someone who they like or matches up with their current view of the world. Yet, although this will be important, someone may end up being drawn to information that is very dark and sinister and they could accept just about all of it. Down The Rabbit Hole Through going down this path, they could often hear about things that could fill them with rage, fear and despair. They will then be shocked, at least in the beginning, by some of the things that are said taking place and have been taking place for years. By finding out about these things, they could have a strong need to share what they learn with their fellow human beings. The challenge is that if they were to simply mention some of the lighter things that they have heard about, they could be seen as crazy and end up being ignored. A Helpless Place One can then be in a position where they believe that they know what is going on behind the scenes but, apart from the people who they talk to online, there can be no one for them to talk to in the real world. Along with this, they can feel powerless when it comes to doing anything about what is going on. They can have the need for everyone to wake up, so that the people behind the scenes are dealt with. But, taking into account what is going on, this can be seen as something that is unlikely to occur. Looking Deeper When it comes to why they are drawn to this kind of material, it could just be put down to the fact that they are curious and want to find out the truth. Moreover, they can be described as someone who wants to make the world a better place, hence why they will want to wake people up. Nonetheless, what if there is far more to it than this? What if this is just what is taking place on one level and, at a deeper level, they are drawn to the darkness that is out there as it is a reflection of a part of themselves that they are not aware of? An Unconscious Process If this is the case it will show that, without realising it, they are trying to indirectly resolve the conflict that is inside them. By dealing with what is going on externally, it will be a way for them to try to deal with what is going on internally. Their inner darkness will then be what is causing them to be drawn to darkness and it will cause them to also project darkness into the world. As to why they would have this darkness inside them, it could go back to what they experienced during their developmental years, and this may have been a time when they were unable to trust their caregivers. Out of Mind Yet, as their brain will have blocked out what took place during this stage of their life, a stage that may have been brutal, they are unable to see the connection. It will then appear as though they are just drawn to this information and their mind will have a number of reasons as to why this is. If they were to get in touch with their own darkness and started to work through their own emotional wounds, they would probably find that their pull to the outer darkness starts to diminish. Their inner world will become more in balance, so their outer world will follow suit. Final Thoughts At this point, it could be said that if someone no longer focuses on the darkness out there and stops trying to do anything to change it, it will end up getting worse. From a materialistic point of view, this sounds right. Nevertheless, if separation is an illusion and everyone and everything is connected, then if someone connects to their inner darkness and starts to transmute it, their outer world will change and they will no longer feed into the darkness that exists. Whereas, if they were to purely focus on the darkness out there and tried to change it, without dealing with their own darkness, they would be feeding into this darkness and sustaining the very thing that they want to change.

With what is taking place in Ukraine and the damage that is being done, it can seem as though the main problem is the president of Russia – Vladimir Putin. The reason for this is that he is at the forefront of what is taking place.
So, if he was to change his mind and put an end to what is going on, the war would soon come to an end. Most importantly, this would save lives and, along with this, it would stop infrastructure from being destroyed and allow the people of Ukraine to begin to mourn what has taken place and start to rebuild their lives. Back and White Therefore, it will be clear what the problem is and it will be clear what the solution is. Naturally, most people on this planet will want what is going on to come to an end as soon as possible. However, although this will be so, the average person is likely to see themselves as having very little, if any control over what is going on. When they think about Putin, though, they are likely to think of someone who has a lot of power. A Helpless Place Thanks to this, they, along with many of their fellow human beings, can hope that what is going on changes before long. For example, they could hope that Putin is able to come to his senses. Furthermore, they could hope that their government as well as other governments do more to stop what he is doing and even to bring his time in power to an end. With the threat of another world war looming, it could be said that the sooner this happens the better. Nothing New This scenario might be new for most of the people who are alive today but it is not a scenario that humanity hasn’t been through before. Not too long ago, many people’s ancestors were involved in one if not two world wars. And, although these wars were brutal and millions were killed, it is often said that the lessons were not learned. As a result of this, what took place in the past could very well happen again and this time, due to the weaponry that is now available, it could be far worse than ever before. A Natural Outcome With this view in mind, if humanity had learned the lessons of the past wars, it is unlikely that what is going on right now would be taking place. Until these lessons are learned, then, the past will continue to be repeated. This whole outlook can be seen as a consequence of living in a society that has a very materialistic view of the world. In a society like this, a citizen will just be an observer of what is going on externally and thus they will be separate from everyone and everything. How it Is When it comes to describing why certain things happen, it will be put down to things such as good and bad luck, fortune and misfortune, and an act of God or Mother Nature, for instance. Ergo, apart from some good luck here and there, the average person will be nothing more than a victim of circumstances, that’s in addition to being victimised by those in power. As this will be seen as the truth, it is to be expected that they, along with most of their fellow citizens, won’t believe that they can do anything about someone such as Putin. What is going on won’t have anything to do with them and even if it did, it wouldn’t matter. Another Angle If they were to think about Putin and how he is behaving, they could soon see that he is nothing like them. While he can be seen as someone who is possessed by ‘evil’, they can see themselves as having no ‘evil’ inside them. Now, if it was put forward to them that the sense of separation that they experience is an illusion and that Putin might embody some of the things that they, along with their fellow citizens, have disowned inside themselves, this could be seen as crazy. As far as they are concerned, it might have absolutely no basis in reality. A New Paradigm If this is the case, it would mean that they, along with their fellow citizens, are not merely passive observers of reality and victims of circumstances. It would mean that they are co-creating what is taking place. What is going on out there is then going to appear to have very little to do with them, but it will be an expression of what is held inside the collective consciousness. This will be made up of what is taking place inside each person’s consciousness. The Mirror If what is taking place out there is an expression of what is taking place inside the collective consciousness, it would mean that Putin or at the very least what he is doing is a manifestation of what is taking place at this level. It is then not that he just appeared out of nowhere; he was brought into existence. Still, this is not to say that humanity has consciously chosen to co-create what is going on; no, most of what appears both at an individual and collective level is coming from the unconscious mind and collective unconscious respectively. Another way of looking at this would be to say that Putin is a manifestation of humanity’s shadow. An Unwanted Messenger Purely seeing him as the problem and dealing with him would stop what is going on and that would do a lot of good but what it wouldn’t do is deal with what led to his creation. Before long, another individual who is very similar would probably end up doing or attempting to do the same thing. When it comes to humanity’s shadow, this will partly be made up of people’s painful feelings and parts of themselves that are seen as being unacceptable. This inner material and these aspects will be hidden from their conscious awareness but that doesn’t mean that they will lie dormant; instead, they will have an impact on what they do and don’t experience and what does and doesn’t take place on the planet as a whole. Final Thoughts If something has to exist internally in order for it to be experienced externally, then it is essential for humanity to understand the importance of consciousness and dealing with their own darkness. Without this, all kinds of lessons can be learned at a head level but the same scenarios are likely to continue to play out because of the illusion of separation and repressed darkness.

Oliver JR Cooper http://www.oliverjrcooper.co.uk Critical Thinking: Is It Easier Than Ever Before For The Mainstream Media To Deceive Humanity?4/3/2022
If someone was able to go back in time a few hundred years, the only way that they would be able to find out about what is going on in the world is by reading a newspaper and speaking to others. Now, if they were to go forward in time, they would soon have a radio to inform them and then a bit further down the line, they would have a TV that would do the same thing.
After this, they would soon arrive at the point in time where the internet was invented and a little while after, they would have access to devices that would allow them to stay up to date no matter where they are. Going from having a newspaper to being able to listen to radio will be a massive difference and going from watching TV to walking around with a device that is smaller but does far more will be an even bigger difference. The Next Phase The big question is what will be the next thing after this? Will people have the opportunity to insert something into their brain or body that tell them directly about what is going on around them? They won’t need to carry anything around with them and won’t need to worry about running out of battery either. This, of course, will bring a totally new meaning to being ‘plugged in’. A Big Difference Anyway, when there were only newspapers available, it was primarily all about words on a sheet of paper, along with a few black and white images here and there after a certain period of time had passed, and when it came to the radio, it was all about words being spoken. After this, with the invention of the TV, it was not just words being spoken and the odd image; there was also video footage of what was going on. Once the internet and the different devices were available, images, audio and video could be viewed on-demand. What also played a part in all this was the invention of the camera, the video camera and the digital camera. A Greater Influence Naturally, seeing words on a sheet of paper is not as impactful as it is to watch a video on a screen. For example, reading that there is a war is not the same as seeing footage that shows a war is taking place. Considering this, it is a lot easier for the media to let people know what is going on and for them to really connect to it too. So, if in the past someone felt as though they were on the outside looking in, they can now be very much on the inside. Seeing Is Believing Once someone has seen the footage or even an image that relates to a certain event, they can believe that they know what is going on. But, as they will have seen what is going on with their own eyes, why wouldn’t they come to this conclusion? And, the more footage and images that they are exposed to, perhaps primarily by looking at their device, the greater this belief will be. What can also help to enforce what they believe will be the validation that they receive from people who have also been exposed to the same footage and images. Stepping Back However, what if some, if not all, of the footage that they are exposed to, is not necessarily fake but doesn’t relate to what is going on? What if the footage that is used relates to other events and is years old, for instance? As for the images that they are exposed to, what if these images are not necessarily fake either but they also relate to other events and are years old? Upon hearing this, someone could dismiss what has been said and see this as the view of a conspiracy theorist, for instance. Not On Board They could say that there is no chance that this is could be the case as they have seen what is going on and so many people have also seen what is going on, so it is clear that this is what is actually taking place. Additionally, they could say that the mainstream media is there to inform, not to deceive; that’s all there is to it. What this will illustrate is that they are not willing to acknowledge, let alone look into the fact that this source of information continually engages in what it accuses others of doing. This source routinely accuses other sources and others of creating fake news and spreading disinformation. Direct Competition It wouldn’t be right to say that this source is the only source that does this and other sources, such as the alternative media, doesn’t. There is a lot of fake news and disinformation out there. But while this is something that is well-known, thanks to what the mainstream media accuses this and other sources of, what is not as well-known is that this source is also full of it. The trouble is that this source is generally seen as a bastion of truth and it positions itself as being above those sources that are out to deceive humanity. Final Thoughts If someone doesn’t believe that the mainstream media would deceive them, it might not matter what they are told or shown that proves that this source creates fake news and produces disinformation. This can partly be seen as a consequence of how effective this source is at deception and their unwillingness to think critically. At the same time, if it wasn’t for the latter the former wouldn’t be very effective. Nonetheless, as the average person hasn’t got the time or energy to question everything they see or hear, it is not a surprise that the mainstream media is so good at deceiving others.

Right now, there is a war taking place in Ukraine and hundreds of innocent people are being killed. If someone watches TV or has a Smartphone, they are likely to have heard a lot about what is going on.
Due to this, they could be deeply worried about what is going on and this could make it hard to them to focus on other areas of their life. Furthermore, after what took place with the contagion and what is still taking place and now this, they could wonder what will be next. The Extreme Part of them could fear that there will end up being another world war and this could mean that they will experience a fair amount of fear and anxiety. As of late, it may have even been hard for them to fall asleep at night. If they are in this position, they are not going to be the only ones. Most likely, there will be hundreds of thousands, if not millions of people who are in the same position. Counting Their Blessings Still, if they are in this position, what they can keep in mind is that they are not living in a country that is at war. This is not to say that this will allow them to feel at ease but it is certainly something they can be grateful for. Along with this, they could look into if there is anything that they can do to make difference. Perhaps the most obvious thing would be for them to donate to a charity that is helping to provide support to the Ukrainian people It’s Clear When it comes to what is going on, it could be said that there is a war going on out there and that’s all there is to it. There will then be those who are bad and those who are good, and there will be those who are playing a part in what is going on and those who aren’t. And, as they are against what is taking place and don’t even live in this country, they will be the good ones and they won’t be playing a part in what is going on. This is something that is so obvious it doesn’t need to be said. The Majority Not only will this apply to them, it is also something that will apply to most people on the planet. After all, if this wasn’t the case, there would be far more wars and the planet would be one big warzone. It could be said that the average person just wants to live a peaceful life and if they don’t get on with another person, they would rather avoid them than fight them, let alone kill them. Therefore, there is only a small part of the population that is interested in harming others. Two Levels Now, although it can seem as though there are those who are bad and those who are good and those who are playing a part in what is going on and those who aren’t, what if there is far more to it? What if someone can come across as ‘good’ and be filled with ‘bad’ and what if they can be playing a part in something even if it is thousands of miles away and they are against it? Upon hearing this, they could wonder what is being said and believe that they are being seen as something that they are not and are being held accountable and even blamed for something that has nothing to do with them. If they do, this is likely to show that they see themselves as beginning and ending with their conscious mind and as being nothing more than an observer of reality. Going Deeper As a result of this, it is to be expected that they will only see themselves as being purely ‘good’ and not have anything in common with those who are ‘bad’ and what is going on out there won’t have anything to do with them. However, along with their conscious mind, they also have an unconscious mind that will, among other things, contain the parts of themselves that are seen as ‘bad’ and painful feelings. Their extroverted intellect will give them the sense that they are simply an observer of life, when, in reality, they are a co-creator of it. Seeing themselves in this way will allow them to have their own experience but it is still an illusion. A Different Outlook Without this understanding in place, what is going on out there will be the issue. It will then be normal for them, along with a large part of the population, to focus solely on what is taking place externally, whilst what is taking place inside the collective consciousness will be largely overlooked. With this understanding in place, what is going on out there will be seen as a reflection of what is taking place at a conscious and unconscious level for them and for humanity as a whole. This will then allow them, along with their fellow human beings, to not simply focus on an effect but to deal with the cause and thus to create change at a fundamental level. For Example So, if someone resonates with what has been said, they could ask themselves if they are at war with themselves or anyone in their life. By doing this, they may see that there is a war taking place inside them and around them and this could be more like a covert as opposed to an overt war. Another part of this would be for them to connect to how they feel when they think about what is going on and are exposed to media coverage. This can shed light on the feelings that have been held inside their unconscious mind/body. Playing Their Part The next stage will be for them to process the pain that they have unknowingly been carrying around. This is not to say that this is a time for them to lay into themselves and to blame themselves for what is going on, something that can happen if they have a strong inner critic; it is simply about them stepping back and looking into how their own consciousness is shaping their own life and what is taking place on the planet. If the above does happen and they find it hard to face their pain and end up blaming themselves or others, it is likely to show that they will need to develop a stronger ego. Once this part of them is strong enough, it will give them the ability to work through their inner wounds. Final Thoughts Focusing purely on what is going in externally is something that has taken place for many, many years and a large part of humanity has seen themselves as passive observers of reality for just as long. The outcome of this is that what is going on out there can change but most of what is held inside the collective consciousness, the field where everything exists before it materialises in the physical plane, will stay the same. Perhaps this is why history continually repeats itself, even though so many people ‘know’ about the bad things that have happened in the past. This is then no different how so many people ‘know’ that exercise is important but not everyone does it. But, if someone only had a conscious mind and this part of them was always in control over how they behaved, knowing something at a head level would be enough. What this illustrates is how important it is for them to work through what is held inside their unconscious mind and by doing this; they will change what is held inside the collective consciousness and thereby help to co-create a different world.

If someone was to hear that they have a shadow, they could end up thinking about the dark shape that appears when their body intercepts the rays from the sun. They may remember that there was a time when they didn’t realise that this shadow was connected to them or why it appeared, most likely when they were younger.
Along with this, they may have had moments in their adult life when they saw their shadow and wondered what it was, before soon realising what was going on. This was probably because they were not very present and their mind ended up projecting something onto their shadow and the situation itself. Two Types In addition to this shadow, one that they can see with their eyes, they also have another one. Unlike the other shadow, it won’t be possible for them to notice this shadow with their eyes; that is unless they have been shown how to see it. When it comes to this one, it will relate to the parts of themselves that they have lost touch with but still influence their life. If they are not aware of this, though, they will be like a child that doesn’t realise that the shape that keeps following them around is their own shadow and this will cause them to suffer unnecessarily. For Example So, they could find that they have the tendency to end up with people who don’t treat them very well. These people will be mirroring back parts of their own being that they are not aware of. But, until they realise what is going on, they won’t be able to do anything about these parts and thus their shadow won’t change either. If they were to hear this, they could say that this is not possible as they want to be with someone who treats them well, not who mistreats them. Two Parts What they will need to bear in mind at this point is that they don’t begin and end with their conscious mind; they also have an unconscious mind. It is this part of their being that holds the parts of themselves that their conscious mind has lost touch with. Once something has been removed from their conscious awareness, this part of them can forget all about it but that doesn’t mean that will have actually disappeared. Instead, what is held in this part of their being will influence who they are drawn to and repel, how active their mind is, how they feel, and their physical health, among other things. Another Part Still, it doesn’t just impact their own life; it also has an effect on what happens in their world. Once again, they could say that this is not possible as they have no effect on what is taking place in the world. This view will be coming from their extroverted intellect that will cause them to believe that they are just an observer of their reality. What is going on ‘out there’ will then have absolutely nothing to do with what is taking place in their conscious mind, let alone their unconscious mind. However, this is nothing more than an illusion as they, along with their fellow human beings, are co-creating what is taking place ‘out there’ whether they are or are not aware of it and whether they want to or not. The Bigger Picture With this in mind, while it may seem as if most people are powerless when it comes to what is taking place in the world and only a few people have control, this is only true on one level. On another, deeper level, each and every person on this planet has the ability to co-create a world that is radically different to how it currently is. What this illustrates is how much power someone has and they are anything but a passive observer of reality and a victim of circumstances. Naturally, this will go against what the media tells them on a daily basis and perhaps what most if not all of their friends and family are likely to believe. Going Deeper, A Lot Deeper If they are not simply an observer of their reality and are actually a co-creator of it and they are also having an effect on what is taking place, along with their fellow human beings, on the planet, it shows how important it is for them to not only do the right things but to also be in the right place. Not just at a conscious level but also at a deeper level; to use an analogy, to have a house that looks good on the outside and is in order on the inside. By getting in touch with and working through the painful material that has been pushed into their unconscious mind, they will gradually change both their own and the consciousness of the planet. They will be working through their own ‘darkness’ and by doing this they will be directing less of their ‘darkness’ into the collective consciousness. Invisible Work The inner material that they will be working through can relate to what they have experienced as an adult, what they experienced throughout their early years and even what they experienced during their birth and when they were in their mother’s womb. Facing this pain will be tough at times and they are unlikely to receive any awards for doing so but they will certainly be playing their part. On the other hand, if they were to simply focus on what they can do to change the world, whilst neglecting their own ‘baggage’, they would be overlooking their own contribution to what is taking place. They would be caught up in their minds illusion of them being an observer and while this would allow them to avoid their own pain and to even receive a lot of positive feedback from their fellow citizens; they wouldn’t be as effective as they would be otherwise. Final Thoughts When someone lives in a society that is a manifestation of ego consciousness and therefore sees themselves as an observer and the problems being ‘out there’, it is naturally going to be hard for them to accept that they are a co-creator of their reality and are influencing what is taking place in the world. This can seem like an outrageous view and something that has no basis in reality. Yet, purely focusing on what is going on ‘out there’ and neglecting what is taking place internally, so focusing on the screen and ignoring the projector, is unlikely to lead to a real shift. It might change things for a while but before long, and even if the lessons are learned at a head level, the ‘darkness’ that is held in the collective consciousness will end up manifesting something, or a number of things, that is destructive in one place or another.

Oliver JR Cooper http://www.oliverjrcooper.co.uk Critical Thinking: Is The Feminine Seen As Being Inferior To The Masculine In Today’s World?24/1/2022
In most, if not all societies around the world there is typically a focus on the doing, so taking action and getting things done. As a result of this, the other side of this, the being, is rarely given much consideration.
It is often as though the only thing that matters is achieving things and becoming more successful, at least in the material sense. If then, someone spends a lot of time doing things and they are becoming more ‘successful’ in the process, they can be seen as living in the right way by a lot of people. A Different Experience On the other hand, if someone’s life doesn’t revolve around the need to achieve and be more successful, they can be seen as living in the wrong way by a lot of people. They could end up being seen as lazy or lacking drive. It then won’t be that they are more in balance and that someone who doesn’t live in this way is out of balance; no, it will be that someone like this essentially has something wrong with them. Therefore, they are unlikely to receive a lot of positive feedback from their fellow citizens. A Closer Look When it comes to someone who spends a lot of time doing things, they could be a manager of a company. Or, they could simply be an employee of a company and work a lot of hours, along with filling the rest of their time with other activities. Yet, when it comes to someone who doesn’t practically spend their whole life doing things, they could be a stay at home parent. Then again, they could have a job or be self-employed but when they are not working; their attention is unlikely to always be on achievement, with them also focusing on having fun. A Natural Assumption At this point, it could seem as if a man is likely to be the manager and a woman is likely to be a stay at home parent. The man would then naturally be more focused on the doing and the women would naturally be more focused on the being. However, as both a man and a woman are made up of both the masculine and the feminine aspects, this is not the case. The fact that there are women who are managers and men who are stay at home parents shines the light on this. The Outcome So, in a society that values the doing and other masculine traits, not the being and other feminine traits, if a woman was to be a stay at home parent as opposed to sending her child/children to someone else to look after and going to work, she can be looked down upon. Once again, she can be seen as lacking drive and even as being “oppressed.” And, if a man was to be a stay at home parent and his partner was to go to work, he could also be looked down upon by others; especially other men. He can be seen as being emasculated and lacking testosterone. Something Else This typical view that the masculine is better than the feminine doesn’t stop here, though, as another part of this is that the intellect is seen as being superior to the emotional self. Therefore, logic and reason (the mind) will be revered, while the ability to feel and sense things (the body) will rarely be acknowledged, let alone dismissed. Women are often seen as being emotional and men as logical, which has played a part in why women have often been seen as being inferior throughout history. A man can believe that, unlike a woman, he is more rational and this allows him to make better decisions. One Factor But as men and woman have both a neocortex and a limbic system, its shows that they are no different in this regard. With this in mind, it could be said that as a lot of men have, throughout history, seen their emotional aspect as being inferior to their intellect, this has played a part in why they have had the need to control women as they have reminded them of the part of themselves that they have alienated. Another thing that plays a part in women being more emotional is that, for so long, there has been less pressure on them to suppress their feelings. Also, due to the number of wars that there have been throughout history, there has been a lot of moments when a man has had to suppress how he feels. How It Starts Off Now, if someone spends a lot of time doing, there would have been time when they were very much in their feminine. At the beginning of their life, they had to rely on others to give them what they needed; they were unable to do anything for themselves. As time passed and they continued to grow, they would have gradually got in touch with their masculine aspect. If this stage of their life was ‘good enough’, they may now have the ability to be and to do. Deprived If this was a stage of their life when they rarely if ever had their developmental needs met, they would have missed out on a lot of the nutrients that they needed to be able to grow and develop in the right way. They may then have emotionally shut down and lost touch with their feelings. The stage of their life when they were in their feminine would have been a very painful time, causing them to form an unhealthy relationship with this part of their nature. This would have given them the need to be in control and prevented them from developing a felt sense of worth, love and trust. The Fall Out By being on the go, then, they won’t need to experience the vulnerability that they experienced all those years ago, and achieving things and becoming more successful will allow them to experience a sense of worth and to feel loved. They won’t be able to just be and to feel valuable, loved and to trust that their needs will be met, so they will need to do things to have this experience. If they were to develop a felt sense of worth, love and trust, there is a strong chance that their behaviour would change. They wouldn’t need to use their body to affirm themselves any longer, allowing them to have moments where they are able to just be and not to think about attaining a certain outcome. Conclusion So, if the world was made up of people who had a ‘good enough’ upbringing and were able to just be, what would it be like? For one thing, there is a strong chance that the feminine aspect would have at least the same level of importance as the masculine. There would be a greater focus on people’s wellbeing and the things that are associated with it such as having fun, relaxing and connection and less on achievement and success and perhaps a country’s GDP. With people having an inner sense of wholeness and peace, the earth would be inhabited by human beings, not human doings.

If someone has been paying a lot of attention to the mainstream media over the last two years, there is the chance that they will have a certain view of the Coronavirus and all the variants that have and are likely to appear as time goes by. As far as they are concerned, this virus and its variants can be seen as being extremely deadly.
As a result of this, it will be essential for them to have every vaccine and booster that is offered and to follow all of the rules, regardless of what they are. Most likely, they will have a number of people in their life who behave in the same way. Stepping Back Now, if they were to step back, if only for a few minutes, and to think about why they perceive the virus in this way, what could come to mind is what they have heard about from the mainstream media. What the newsreaders have said, along with experts and governmental figures, will then have had a massive impact on their outlook. Additionally, they may know at least one person who has died or is said to have died from it. But other than this, what they have been told from the people above can be what is primarily behind how they perceive reality. The Truth However, if they don’t engage in this process and look into why see the virus as they do, how they see the virus will just be seen as a reflection of what it is like. In other words, their experience of it won’t be influenced by what they have been told; it will simply be a reflection of how dangerous it is. Consequently, if they were to meet someone who doesn’t really pay attention to the mainstream media, it is not going to be a surprise if there is conflict. The former will have one outlook and the latter is likely to have a very different outlook. Two Experiences The former can spend a lot of time feeling anxious and fearful, and rarely even leave their home. They can believe that the other person simply doesn’t realise how dangerous the virus is, needs to ‘wake up’ and could describe them as a conspiracy theorist. On the other hand, the latter might find that, in general, their inner state hasn’t really changed and is happy to carry on as normal, or as normal as is possible and is doing what they can to naturally boost their immune system. In their eyes, they can believe that the other person has been conditioned to be overly fearful of the virus, due to what they have been told by the media and also needs to ‘wake up’. The Power of Fear If the latter had a different lifestyle and was also plugged into this source of information, there is the chance that they would have a different outlook. Yet, if someone was being fed fear, day after day, month after month, year after year, how else would they be? It has been said that perception is reality, so if someone has been told, constantly, how dangerous a virus is, this information is going to define how they experience life. It won’t matter if there is any evidence that goes against what they believe, or if it is possible for them to naturally boost their immune system, as they will have literally been programmed to see reality through a certain lens. The Big illusion However, as this source creates the impression that they are simply reporting on what is going on, nothing more, nothing less, and one can see themselves as just an observer of reality, they won’t be able to see how what they are told goes into their creative consciousness and ends up defining what they do and don’t experience. Ultimately, the media is not simply informing them, it is conditioning them to see reality in a certain way as it is not possible for them to passively observe reality. What this does is shed light on how powerful they, along with their fellow human beings, are. Thanks to the power that they and their fellow human beings have to create their own reality, it also means that each human being also has the ability to co-create a very different world. An Analogy With that aside, taking into account the part that the mainstream media is playing in what is going on, if the virus was an organisation that wanted to keep everyone in fear and to control them, the media would be its mouthpiece. This organisation would be dangerous, no doubt about it, but without this arm of the operation, it wouldn’t have the same level of control. But, it wouldn’t be right to say that what is going on is anything new as this source has been pumping out propaganda for years, with so many people being fearful of so many other things due to what this source has told them to fear. It is then very much a case of - business as usual. Final Thoughts Still, as easy as it is to see this source as the perpetrator and a large part of humanity as the victims, an outlook that is unlikely to lead to change, this would only be true on one level. What also needs to be looked into is why this source is able to manipulate a citizen; what’s inside them that makes them susceptible to this propaganda? Is this source simply tapping into a citizen’s repressed fears and unresolved trauma? Someone in this position is then already in a vulnerable position, and, with the right words, images and sounds, this source, along with the government, is able to gradually hook them in, promise to protect them and, finally, to lead them wherever they desire.
