Deception

Silence by Philip Dodson

‘Don’t piss down my back and tell me it’s raining’ a phrase that aptly describes what is starting to happen in the world today.

More and more people are becoming aware of the many false things we are told by the people we have been conditioned to trust. Starting to see beyond the facade that is the system, the established order, the so-called ‘trustworthy’.

We have and are so caught up in our minds and our day-to-day routines, that we are unable to see the reality, we remain in our subconscious. If we do realise, then often we do not want to admit it for fear of standing out or also we do not like to admit that maybe we were wrong in what we thought. Again our egos stop us from being wrong and keep us defending a position that needs no defence.

We are being manipulated constantly, but it is hidden in plain sight, it is so everyday that it has become normal and accepted without any question. Over time, it doesn’t seem out of the ordinary and anyone who questions is seen as weird, dangerous, extremist or simply wrong.

A possible solution is to remain curious? Be brave enough to be different, to be ‘weird’.

The mind and the collective mind is full of deception.

There is always something wrong

There is always something wrong if you look for it. Especially if this is the filter that your mind uses.

Looking for something wrong yields wrong-doing always and that wrong enables our mind to react, complain, it allows our ego to be justified. It makes us feel superior, that is what the ego needs in its vulnerable state.

Yet, the pointing out or reacting to things that are wrong, and that is ‘wrong’ only in our minds, doesn’t make anyone else feel good. Interestingly though, the person who suffers most is the person who seeks the wrong-doing and does the pointing out, as they are the ones that are doing the judging. A judgement of others is, in fact, a judgement of ourselves.

It is a reflection of our own discontentment that leads us to manifest that in criticism of other people’s behaviour, with the hope, that catching others misdemeanours or mistakes somehow will elevate us above them and brings salvation to us.

The insecurity of the ego leads to continued pain and suffering, do not look for right or wrong in ourselves or others, accept them and ourselves for what we are and do not form opinions or judgements. This way there is peace within and within our relationships with others.
