Critical Thinking: Is Humanity Being Victimised By Their Shadow?

If the average person was asked to share their opinion in regards to why the world is the way that it is, they might say that it’s because of the people that are in power. Therefore, if these people were dealt with in one way or another, the world would be different.

This can be someone who pays attention to the mainstream media or the alternative media. The reason why it could be one or the other is that both of these sources generally blame those at the top, so to speak, for what is going on in the world.

The Same View

And, as there are millions of people who pay attention to one or both of these sources, it will mean that a large part of the population will have this view.  The difference is that if someone pays attention to the alternative media, they can believe that they have a better understanding of what is going on.

If someone only pays attention to the mainstream media, on the other hand, they can look down on those who pay attention to the alternative media. They can believe that these people are out of touch with reality.

The Same Direction

But, although they will have a different opinion in regard to who is at the top, what they will agree on is that those at the top are the problem. So, thanks to the amount of power that these people have, then, they will have a big impact on what does and doesn’t happen on the planet.

From what has and is taking place in the world, it will be clear that these people are not interested in living in a world that is full of love, peace and harmony. Instead, they are primarily interested in living in a world that is full of hate, conflict and disharmony.

At the Bottom

It can seem as if these people don’t view their fellow human beings as being at the same level as them. No, they view them as being inferior beings who are incapable of living their own life and need to be kept in line.

At the same time, some of these people, due to how they behave might not even seem human. It is for this reason that those at the top have often been described as evil and as being from another planet.

Looking Deeper

Now, while it can seem as though those at the top are the main problem and that the world will only change if they are dealt with, what if there is far more to it? After hearing this, someone can question how this could be possible.

But, as the source of information that they pay attention to, whatever that source is, and perhaps the people in their life will support this view, this is to be expected. Additionally, their five senses will play a part in this view, with these senses creating the impression that what is going on ‘out there’ is the problem.

Another Angle

However, what if the people at the top, as inhuman as they can appear to be, are a reflection of what a large part of humanity needs to face and deal with? After hearing this, someone could say that they themselves, along with most of the people on the planet, are nothing like these people.

For example, they could say that they are not greedy, cruel, hateful or controlling, for instance. Consequently, they, and most of their fellow human beings, are going to be ‘good’, whereas those at the top will be ‘bad’.

Two Levels

What needs to be acknowledged at this point is that they, along with their fellow human beings, don’t begin and end with their conscious mind. Furthermore, even though they will appear to be separate from what is going on ‘out there’, this is nothing more than an illusion.

In other words, in addition to what is going on for them at a conscious level, there is what going on for them at an unconscious level, and, what is held in this part of them influences what is going on ‘out there’. Based on this, what is going on ‘out there’ will be letting them know, albeit in a symbolic manner, what it is that they and their fellow human beings need to face and resolve.

A Closer Look

If what is going on externally is not seen in a symbolic manner, they won’t be able to see how it reflects what is going on for them internally. But, if they were to look deep within themselves and reconnect to the parts of themselves that have been hidden, they could soon find that they carry a lot of anger, rage, hate, helplessness and hopelessness.

It can be difficult for them to connect to these ‘dark’ parts of themselves as what they experience can go against the view that they have of themselves and this can be a time when they will be overwhelmed with pain. The experience that they have will then shed light on why they had lost touch with these parts.

A Small

Still, by engaging in this process, they will be able to see that their conscious sense of themselves is only a small part of them. When it comes to the ‘dark’ material that was repressed and is now entering their conscious awareness, this will be a consequence of the experiences that they have had as an adult and a child.

Either way, by facing and resolving their inner wounds, they will be changing their own consciousness, and by doing this, they will be changing the collective consciousness. This will allow them to see that they are anything but a passive observer of reality and are actually a co-creator of their reality.

Awareness

If someone can relate to this and they are ready to change their life, they may need to reach out for external support. This is something that can be provided with the assistance of a therapist or healer.
