Keep Calm & Live Your Life

Trying to balance the scale between a reasonable and emotional response to information, has for most people, become a tricky task. We’re now entrenched in a world of overstimulation, and propaganda the likes of which has never been seen before. Sifting through copious amounts of news, trying to draw reasonable conclusions, then digesting those results in a way that can add value to your life has never been more difficult.

Why is this? Well for starters the MSM (Main Stream Media) has sensationalized every aspect of our culture. If it isn’t shocking, scandalous, or scary it doesn’t run. Take a quick look at YouTube’s homepage and count how many thumbnails of people looking aghast there are. They’re selling an emotion, and we’re buying it. Almost everything you purchase is an emotional buy. The biggest boom of industry in the 21st century is online commodity. Now everyone and thing is on the Internet. How are they supposed to grab your attention? According to Microsoft they got about 8 seconds before you lose interest. Well they do what advertisers have been doing for centuries. They make a play for your emotions. What’s the result? You are now making hundreds or thousands of decisions every day browsing the internet, based off emotions.

That doesn’t seem healthy…

The fact that cancel culture is even a thing plays credence to this. Crowds of keyboard warriors demanding people they don’t know, lose their jobs simply based off “horrific” accusations. No evidence or facts needed. You have made us upset, so we are no longer interested in what you are selling. Bye-Bye

We are now so use to operating on emotional instinct that we’ve forgotten how to filter out things we see and hear with logic and reason.

So what about news? What about information? How can that add value to your life? Being well informed has numerous valuable possibilities. You know the “what, when, how, and why” of a certain narrative. You can take that information and have a call to action. You can learn about dangers and how best to avoid them. You can engage or disengage in social discourse. You can be an expert in a specific field of information that can lead to a career, or simply quench your curiosity. But information, now more than ever, is a double edged sword.

The trick is to determine if your emotional response to information is adding any value to your life.

Being privy to alternative news and information that pertains to the NWO (“New World Order” for those new to this) agenda often produces an emotional response of doom, gloom and anger. No kidding, of course it does! There’s a coordinated effort to divide, conquer, and enslave us! Shades of Oliver Cromwell! This is valuable information. Now that I know what is really going on I can…

You can what?

Well for starters you can share it and have others open their eyes to the workings of the global puppeteers.

Yeah you can. That’s good. Then what?

Well you can then create a community of people that will stand up to the tyrants and make it clear that we’re on to them.

Not bad…but at the end of the day we’re not going to war with them face to face. That’s not a thing. My point here is that the stories in the news you and I get so upset over are mostly things out of our hands. There’s little to do besides stress out or get angry. When things that we are upset about don’t get resolved, they manifest into ugly things like hatred. Hatred does not add value to your life. It truly is a heavy burden on your soul. It can overwhelm logic. I see too many of my friends and colleagues walking around with this hatred. Upset at the left for allowing the degradation of the West. They’ve become completely blood thirsty, begging for a civil war in America. Most of whom have never been in a street fight let alone full scale warfare. If they could calm themselves and remember that there have always been “sheeple” throughout history, and that they are specifically targeted as mind prey because of their blindspots, then maybe they wouldn’t let it upset them so much.

So how do we resolve the emotional issues of information while still using it to add value to our lives?

Begin with accepting what you can realistically control.

You did some research and decided that the MRNA vaccine is poison, so you don’t take it. That’s completely under your control. That information has added some value to your life, and you didn’t even have to fight with a Pfizer employee.

You know that the Vanguard group, and Blackrock own the majority shares of most global corporations. Although you can’t escape their products for long, you happily try and avoid them as much as possible. That info had value to your life.

You get so mad after learning that some BLM protests were started by agent provocateurs, that you punt your dog, post racist memes on Facebook, and have a brain aneurism. Although the information is valuable, your response did not in fact add any value to your life.

Get angry but don’t harbor it. Read about what new freedoms might be taken away from you, but don’t let it stress you out to the point of losing hair. Be disgusted by radical left communists, but don’t become a lynch mob yourself. Always see the bigger picture. Acknowledge that there are powerful people counting on you to be emotionally infantile. Finally, realize that the covertly waged war is not only for your mind/body, but also for your soul.
