Are You Controlled By Fear?
I’ve been thinking this morning about conspiracies and conspiracy theories. And I’m talking mainly about those that portray an elite section of the populace attempting to gain control over everything. Especially those that are espoused by David Ike and the lot.
They may be well intentioned by wanting to educate the populace; however they use the same scare tactics that they accuse “the elite” of using to control us. You know what I mean, right? You see it on the TV all the time. Fear is everywhere. Murder, slaughter, mayhem, chaos, you name it, it’s there.
And a lot of people buy into all that, and actually feed off of it. They want to live in fear; they want to believe that they are not responsible for anything. “I have no control over anything!”seems to be the cry we hear emanating from the depths of those souls whom have been brainwashed by the media and popular opinion.
But what I propose, and you may disagree with me, is that we let ourselves acknowledge these things minimally, because that is not our reality. We are in control. We do have free will. We can be, do, and have whatever we desire.
And we are the ONLY thing stopping us!
We get all caught up in these conspiracy theories and soon, if we let it, they will engulf us and leave us paralyzed to do anything. That is, until we decide to pick ourselves up, brush ourselves off, and get back to living a joyous life.
That’s right, i’s your choice. YOU choose how you wish to live. YOU choose the income you currently have. YOU choose to stay in a relationship that isn’t working. YOU choose, you choose, you choose. It’s ALL your choice. The experiences that you are having right now are because of a choice you made to experience them. No matter what they are. That can be a hard pill to swallow for some, BUT, if you get this, I mean really get this, you’ll never be a victim again.
Victims do not make choices that are in their best interest. Victims are powerless to defend themselves from anything. Choose to NOT be a victim anymore. Take responsibility for the reality you are experiencing, because you created it, no matter how bad or how good.
Peace, Abundance, and Blessings,

You’re exactly right. I’ve made good choices and a few bad ones but I chose to learn from those so I didn’t make them again.
I choose to live in my NOW moments. That’s where my happiness is.
Frankly, I take the news in small doses because news stations or newspapers never print or say all the good in the world. In their opinion, it doesn’t make good copy.
I’m sure if someone started a news station with all the feel good stories, they would make a fortune. I know I’d pay to listen. That’s why “Chicken Soup of the Soul” books sold millions.

Gary, I SO agree with you, and have had those same thoughts myself about all the conspiracy theories and the people that get promote them and those that get twisted up in the fear they cause.
Over time and with spiritual growth, slowly but surely, I’m learning to more quickly disengage from anything that makes me feel those kinds of helpless feelings.
Lately, the practice of Ho’oponono has helped me with that SO much that I created a squidoo lens about it at http://www.squidoo.com/zero-limits-hooponopono (hope it’s okay to mention it here, it’s helped me SO much)….
Thanks for putting these ideas into words!

Judith & Laurie,
First off, thank you for posting a comment on this post.
Secondly, Judith, check out Manifest Station at http://www.themanifest-station.com. I think you’ll find something more to your liking than viewing your TV.
Laurie, I have learned the same lessons.
And again, thank you both for your comments.
