Denial

Denial is the disease of our time. It has become this species 'cancer'.

We have lost our ability to relate without SPIN to not only others but also and more importantly, ourselves. We twist, shape, turn and draw out whatever it is we are trying to solicit from the listening party including ourselves with our self-talk. Our motive is to no longer always share information for the purpose of discussion and dialogue in an transparent and honest forum, but to leave a manipulated and indelible image on the listening party`s psyche for the purpose of us feeling accepted or at the very least…not rejected. And all of this effort in futility of propping up our self-image leaves us feeling confused, disoriented, unsafe and insecure within our environment. Is this by intention?

This is a lesson well learned from the mega-media onslaught we have been subjected to ever since the media became too powerful and limiting a ‘weapon’ for influencing public opinion. After all, public opinion is what regulates our society`s and cultural direction, is it not? Right or wrong, limited but powerful media moguls regulate and manipulate public opinion. We have allowed ourselves to become ‘sheep’ or as the Zionists describe….”goyim”. We are constantly told what is right or wrong and we accept that without much discrimination. In reality, right and wrong are totally obscured by what is becoming more and more ‘gray’ and hence, more chaotic. ‘Gray’ leaves us uncertain and without direction….as is by intention and design and we do not question it. Imagine if you will, being able to accurately discern the following:

What is healthy nutrition? Without the conflicting studies about what is and what is not nutritious what do we know for sure? For 40 years we followed the Canada Food Guide only to find out after all this time, that the guidelines we trusted to follow, were out of balance and really not a good diet, after all.

What is a healthy work ethic?….why are we all willing to subject ourselves to a 9-5 work ethic without question nor challenge. Just because the church brought this about to control its followers, thereby benefiting from a steady income, we have entrapped ourselves within this unchallenged expectation and have suffered unbearably, since. What other species is regulated by the clock, guilt and fear?

What is debt driven?…our entire culture and society is debt driven. We have all willingly succumbed to being enslaved by debt. You will note that debt is the economic engine that coincidentally, keeps us working (mostly without passion) in order to sustain a life style that is detrimental to our health and welfare. How many people do you know that are no longer useful (because of ‘burn out’ or ill health), that are cast aside wearing only the ‘watch’ of gratitude.

What is freedom?….given the constraints within our culture, sub-cultures and society, and the ‘boxes’ we have willingly built for ourselves, whatever is left over, is called freedom. Granted our boxes may be bigger than those of jail cells, but we too have allowed ourselves to become incarcerated to behaviour patterns that are limiting and not in our healthy self-best interest.

The above are just a few examples of how we are neither given nor give the ‘straight goods’ without SPIN. Spin is our ‘weapon’ of choice in keeping us oppressed and suppressed and we use it to control our environments. We are ‘spun’ about politics, business, religion, world affairs inclusive of power mongers, imperialism, occupation, resource exploitation, labour exploitation etc. and worse of all wars that are the instrument for attaining the above, without question. And, while all of this is occurring in and around our lives, we vehemently deny that any or all of this is really happening. If we were to accept this reality, we would have to admit that we perpetuated these wrongs by our greed for material gain and ultimately for want of acceptance. Now, that would not look good on our SELF-IMAGE would it? So, we put our head back in the ‘sand’ and pretend everything is OK, when deep down within our spirit we know we have and continue to violate, betray ‘prostitute’ our nature in order to keep our image ‘afloat’. Denial can be addictive, can it not…and so it is.
