This post was inspired after a conversation with my two good buddies Justin Mares and Nat Eliason last week. They both have substacks The Next and Infinite Play worth checking out.
“Compassion is only possible when understanding is there” - Thich Hanh
A common theme I continue to notice amongst some people seemingly on the spiritual path is an interest in conspiracy.
It’s like there is some notion that there’s a small group of elites or aliens that are out there trying to undermine the majority of humanity from thriving.
Some examples in our society that they might cite are things like:
The new U.S. food guidelines created by the National Institute of Health which states that sugary cereal is better for you then an egg, and ice cream is better then a piece of beef.
Censorship of vaccine researchers merely sharing clinical outcomes information on the efficacy of the vaccine.
The incomplete information on the effects of 4g + 5G and all the electrical waves our environments have on our bodies despite the fact that in many of the countries that make these devices, people literally wear anti-radiation clothing to protect their babies.
Weather modification and geo-engineering programs such as the popular chemtrails debate which apparently intentionally deposits aluminum and barium into the air in order to change weather, making us and our soil sick.
I’m sure there are countless additional examples of different things going on in society like this that I don’t even know of which further drive this idea that there is some dark force conspiring against us. Many spiritual practitioners I work with distinguish between being a light-worker vs. the darker, more dense forces. Sometimes listening to this can feel like I am watching Harry Potter vs. Voldemort!
Is this all bullshit? Partially bullshit? All true and most of us are all wildly ignorant?
I don’t know, but I am certainly open to any possibility as I believe anything that consciousness can conceive of it can create.
In any case, it doesn’t seem like getting amped up about people or beings acting nefariously against us is a good use of energy.
