Why Are Things Like This?
We are taught, of course, that we aren’t conformist, but Monty Python tells truth in the scene where all the jeans and T-shirt brigade are gathered to listen to a speaker who says ‘We are all non-conformists!’ and the little guy who isn’t wearing the jeans and T-shirt uniform says, timidly, ‘I’m not!’
Why don’t we revolt? Because we have been educated into believing we are helpless, we are in the best of all worlds, and that there is no alternative. Look at the US view of the Middle East. The average American sees them as pretty much savages, lucky enough to be sitting on oil, who for some unknown or poorly understood reason, just happen to hate all Americans.
Why do they think this? Because that is what they have been shown, over and over, with symbols that stir the heart to back the message, to drive it home in deep beyond the censorship that a reasoning mind would put in place as it realised that, just like Americans, those of the Middle East are people also. They have opinions, they have lifestyles and they have dreams and hopes for their kids.
But, just as is happening in the Middle East, the people are being programmed by manipulators with a black and white message that leaves no room for a middle ground. It’s the ‘we’re good and they are evil’ message that is ALWAYS put out when the leaders want war. You have to demonise the opposition before you can convince people to go murder other people.
I think the trick is to try to step back from the emotions. EFT is a good way to start this process. Emotional Freedom Technique is easy and effective and you don’t have to believe it to let it work. You can discharge the fear, let go the anger and engage thinking in a creative way. And you can get the manual free, no catches, and although you can go on to buy stuff relating to EFT, the manual is all you need.
