Independence Day. Free your mind by reexamining your deeply-held beliefs
What if I told you at least one of your beliefs/values was inserted by a distant institution with its own agenda?
Have you ever considered the possibility that at least one of your most emotionally-loaded values/beliefs are not organic, but an intentional result of social nudges and subtle forces of peer conventions initiated/maintained by powerful institutions well-versed in mass manipulation, which have vested interest in swaying X% of the population to prefer belief/politicians A vs B?
It should be obvious that many of your current beliefs serve the institutional interests of powerful organizations; that by itself is not a bad thing, so long as those beliefs/values also ultimately serves YOUR best interests.
How recent is your emotionally-intense beliefs about BLM, Ukraine, or the Science Juice Injection Which Must Not Be Named? Does the timing of WHEN those beliefs inserted themselves into your worldview give you pause?
On my end, I periodically audit my own beliefs and values, viewing with greatest suspicion/skepticism things I’ve come to believe most-recently, since they have the highest probability of being mind-virus smuggled in by a crafty outsider, who wants me (and millions like me) to support (or reject) a particular thing because it serves their institutional goals.
It’s a good and mind-expanding exercise. If your beliefs can stand up to harsh and skeptical scrutiny, it’s a positive sign you have a decent grounded view of reality, and your willingness to reexamine your beliefs means that even if you’re deceived/on a bad path, you have the tools to extricate yourself.
Contrawise, if the mere thought of reviewing your beliefs through a skeptical lens makes you nervous and self-conscious, that’s your subconscious telling you that you are knowingly hosting parasitic beliefs which don’t stand up to scrutiny.
Lean in to that discomfort. Don’t remain a hostage to parasitic beliefs/values inserted by outsiders, expel them and reclaim your authentic mind and organic values.
You are a child of God, born sovereign with a mind capable of discerning deep truths about the universe, do not allow it to be held hostage by this world’s mind-viruses or dance to the tune of distant corporations/institutions who see you as just one chit on their massive chessboard.
Happy Independence Day.
