If you do not read this article through to the end,
it is likely to have the opposite of its intended, loving effect.
I have a perspective about today's media blackout that I think you may find worthy of your time to consider. To understand my perspective, it would be important that we agree on a basic factor first that may be very iffy for you: That a basic part of our government's strategy is to stoke the fires of fear and separation---fear for our safety or lives and a sense of clear lines that divide us from each other and separate humanity from realizing itself.
That last part was a mouthful. Basically, what it means is that our government wants us fighting with each other. As long as we are fighting those representing a different political party, different religion, different philosophy about handguns or entitlement programs then we are too busy to see what would otherwise be obvious about our governmental "servants" and the quality of their service to us.
And the last line of that first paragraph here means that we are all here to integrate a loving, harmonious, trusting and calm world. This is impossible if we allow ourselves to be governed by forces that abuse us.
But like drugged sheep, we communally have just been plodding along on the path to complete servitude and hopelessness.
Kind of like repeat visits to the waitress who drools on your food as she is serving it to you every time you come into that restaurant. But you keep coming back because she is cute and she tells a good story, and she repeats the story over and over until you start to think the story is true. At some point, you believe her when she tells you over and over that her saliva is really clean and that she gets it tested every week.
We, the People, have been manipulated by our government. Like almost all religion, their game is creating fear and conflict.
So what is going to happen today with this blackout? No matter what you think is going to or might happen, the key to moving through it is choosing calm. Having fear sucks your energy. So maybe right now, you can choose to embrace loving trust that you--the true you--will still be here when the sun goes down tonight, and if your body is not, it's kind of like the situation when your car has broken down for the final time and you get another one. That's how it is when the body dies; we just get another vehicle, and your Spirit--your essence--gets behind the wheel and moves along different roads to learn the lessons that you didn't quite get last time through.
So, the possible scenarios for the blackout:
First, it could be just another of the myriad ploys by the government (I certainly wouldn't say "our government") to provoke more fear and division among us. Maybe it's that and nothing more.
Another possiblility is that lots of folks will want to be at their TV sets when it happens just to see what is said and whether it'll be just 3 1/2 minutes. It might just happen that they create some more content to scare or divide us, and that content could come in the form of subliminal messages or something similar-sounding to the tone and white noise they've played so much before during the 30-second tests of the Emergency Broadcast System. Certain tonal frequencies can provoke anxiety and agitation. For this reason, I will not be watching/listening today during the EBS test.
Or it could be that an actual emergency will occur at roughly the same time,by "coincidence." Given the history of actual disasters happening on the same day and place as tests are happening,intelligent eyebrows gotta get raised. When London had the subway bombing emergency simulations, it just so happened that that subway really got bombed at the same time. When 9-11 happened, our government was supposedly running a bunch of tests that prevented timely response. If your blinders are still so firmly on that you do not see who was at least complicit in the 9-11 disasters, then you are living in a fantasy land. You've been spoon fed a ton of lies by the government and by the scientists and other experts they have paid to lie.
Many, too, will see the blackout as just a test. But think about it: if it was just a test, why wouldn't they do it at 2 am on a Sunday? And what are they going to learn in 3 1/2 minutes that they couldn't learn in 30 seconds?
Now some people are going to say that our government would never broadcast something to intentionally harm or upset us. If that is your line, you're just pretending to be asleep so that you can avoid life and reality. The government poisons our water with flouride, which just happens to be the main ingredient in rat poison, Prozac and Sarin Nerve Gas. Flouride was originally used in World War II concentration camps by the Germans to keep their captives weak and docile.
Government intentionally poisons our skies, raining boric acid and other chemicals down upon us to dumb us down from above.
It allows food manufacturers to feed us toxic chemicals such as aspartame and monosodium glutamate.
It assists the big pharmaceutical companies in supressing medical advances that could save an immense amount of pain and prevent hundreds of thousands of deaths every year.
Given all that, easily given credence if you research something other than the Republican political shows, do you really think government is beyond a little broadcast hanky-panky?
Lots of people keep their mouths shut when it comes to speaking their truth about our government, for any of these reasons. Three major ones might be---
* They don't want to be rejected by their friends and family
* They do not want to be put on the government's enemies list, allowing for their summary murder
* They have already embraced defeat and hopelessness
Somebody's got to spill the facts pure and simple, and that is part of what I do. We cannot move beyond the mess until we are willing to see the mess for what it is.
Just like you cannot escape a prison until you realize that you are in one, we cannot rise above the current collective sense of chaos, anxiety and overwhelm until we face what isstaring us in the face. We can do this together if we shift the emphasis from focusing on what it is that divides us to what we believe in common. This builds collective strength. It is time to unite.
As we have the courage to go within ourselves and allow the will and the wisdom of the heart to swallow up the lunacies of the mind, we find peace: calm, humble, loving and powerful peace.
What serves us is to trust in ourselves, and in each other, along with letting go of rage, judgment, fear, doubt, and feeling separate. Better said, what serves us is the embrace of love, the reflection of love, the integration of the knowing that Love is all we are. This is what The Shift is all about.
If you look at it cleanly, you realize that reckless speculation about potentially negative is simply a form of masochism in disguise. When we forget that we are creating that which we are focusing upon, then fear is the catalyst for creating all that we say we do not want. And yet, sooner or later, we will become so fed up with what we have created that we will make the most powerful of all surrenders: we will choose to respond to all of life with Love.
