Unravelling the Media B.S.
Is it worth our mental health - or a necessity to discover the truth?
We may be tempted to shy away from the daily published news and that which appears incessantly on our screens; because of the disruptive and negative vibration that it brings. Never-the-less we should play our part in recognising the truth and dismissing the lies because we owe it to those who have put themselves and their reputations at risk by discovering the deceit and corruption which is unfolding in all levels of society.
By moving through recent disturbing media episodes, we are now able to read between the lines, see the ‘B.S.’ and should now be more determined to discover the factual information in everything we see or hear. We owe this to those who have been involved in all trauma because ”by God’s grace”…….. (you know the saying!)
We have been and are still living in a time of cover up and denial of the truth. We owe it to those who have been brave enough to live through those lies and respect those who have put their reputations on the line to reveal the truth to us.
The sad fact is that we can no longer be innocent bystanders in the world’s corruption and denial because modern technology drags everyone and everything into the mainstream whirlwind of conspiracy and lies. It also acts gloriously as a double edged sword and can also reveal the truth!
What we need to develop now is discernment and a commitment to self; to deny falsity and seek out authenticity and this involves us questioning almost everything we come across.
This may seem an onerous task but in fact we all have an inbuilt beacon which - if we have switched it on and paid attention to it - can make our task much easier. I am talking about going to our WORLD WITHIN and placing our doubts and questions before it. We cannot resolve anything contentious or otherwise unless we approach it from a centre of calm, resilience and self-awareness and that can only be found in the serenity of our inner being.
Reacting in the moment is not always the best action - unless it is a life threatening situation. When we respond in haste to something we find physically, verbally or emotionally threatening, it will come from the ego.
As I have mentioned many times in my blogs, when we were living in a dangerous world many centuries ago the ego was set up to help us defend ourselves against violent threats.
One of the most useful skills for us to practice now is tempering our reactionary self. Social media presents us with an opportunity to discover information and share it, but if it is used in a mean, accusatory or disruptive manner it can cause more trouble than it solves.
We all have choice, no matter how seemingly restricted we see our lives and that choice is to be authentic or false in our thoughts, speech and actions. If we embrace those true parts of self, not only will it help us in our personal times of angst, but it will allow us to play our part in healing the whole of humanity. Moving into authenticity is one of the most positive and decisive actions we can do at this time, to help ourselves and play our part in moving our world forward into a much better place.
