Level Up
Maybe we'll never be "given" the full truth. I don't think The Great Awakening is about exposing the truth out into the open as much as it's about leveling up our intuition to see through the lies.
There will always be more lies.
We can uncover the lies of the past, but it's only a temporary fix. Intuition is our defense against deception; past, present and future.
Working on our discernment is the exercise we can do to strengthen our intuition. We are all capable of this instinct, it's just we're out of practice. We've been taught to focus only on intellect, but the brain is easily manipulated and TPTB we're up against are experts in manipulating the mind. But the human body actually has 3 brains, the mind, the heart, and the gut. Our gut even contains a high concentration of neurons (brain cells).
So how do we work on our discernment and build those muscles back up? I like what @realjusthuman often says, "Understanding is better than reacting." Observation without immediate reaction helps strengthen our discernment. I'm a lot slower to react these days than I was when I first started out. This has helped me pan out to a wider view and become less manipulated by every new piece of information.
I also loved what @5_d_Chesterton said the other night in the DPH chat, "We are all going to have to learn to stop outsourcing our discernment."
It's great to have people we feel we can trust and look up to, but we can't get lazy and depend on others to do our thinking for us. That's literally how humanity got into this mess in the first place.
The responsibility is ours to resolutely and tirelessly seek the truth for ourselves in all things.
This is the only way we take back our power and win the spiritual war on here on earth where deception currently reigns supreme.
Well-said, Kate! Its very tempting to believe-without-question those that say exactly what we want to hear. Many of us fell into this trap in the immediate aftermath of the 2020 Steal. But discernment is a skill which can be honed through practice. And just like any other skill, we often learn the most when we make mistakes. Nothing to be ashamed of as long as we continue to grow. Thanks for pointing this out....and thanks for continuing to write! I love reading your pieces.....and it doesn’t take me half the day to get through like a certain Tiger we know’s work does! 🤪(just kidding BB....you know I greatly admire your writing skills!)
Nicely stated, Kate. I also like a recommendation from @burningbright which I’ll paraphrase. If a bit of information incites strong emotions in you (good or bad), that’s your cue to slow down and ponder. It’s a skill I’m working on. There’s always room for improvement, but I’m getting to be more circumspect. Many thanks and much credit to you and Jon for Badlands.
