It's All Coming Out

 

Keeping track of what is going on in the world is liable to drive one to despair. So many people are getting away with so many things. The slaughter on October 7. Putin in Ukraine. Unknown people , possibly foreign angst or terrorists, flooding into the US. People shoplifting brazenly in SF and not getting arrested. Homelessness; rampant drug use. Lawfare against political opponents. Everyone in authority turns out to be a pedophile. Attempted censorship everywhere. The list goes on. Every time I check on X, it is a half dozen more horrifying revelations.

But perhaps this is the point: every time I check on X. A large part of what may seem to be some new chaos is that at last, thanks to the Internet and Elon Musk, we are actually hearing about things that previously were silenced—it is not so much that matters and morals are spiralling downward, but that things that dwelt in darkness are finally being brought to the light. 

That, and the inevitable reaction by the guilty parties, trying desperately to close the spigots and lash out.

For the rest of us, the innocent many, any sudden flood of new knowledge is traumatizing; it upsets your world view, and so your mental equilibrium. What you thought was true, and possibly based your life on, isn’t. Wait; you can’t trust doctors? You can’t trust science? You can’t trust the justice system? You can’t trust the results of elections? You can’ t trust cardinals and popes? 

Anyone might experience cognitive dissonance, and a sense of  emotional betrayal, and depression, as a result. 

As Aristotle put it, the seed of knowledge is bitter, but the fruit is sweet. It is nevertheless better to know. And be able to improve.

Tucker Carlson argues, in his interview with Joe Rogan, that the evidence is plain that JFK was killed by the CIA; and Nixon was driven from office by the CIA/FBI. The evidence was always there. We knew long ago that J. Edgar Hoover had files on everyone in politics. We just never went there in our thoughts. It’s just that, in the past, with the media pipeline controlled, misdirection was possible. On this, and on any issue. Now somebody’s sure to blow the whistle, post the video, and the word gets out.

UFOs/ UAPs are another example. Evidence has been around since at least the forties. Only recently, official and semi-official sources are confirming that it is all real. Why? 

Perhaps because everyone now has a smartphone. It is no longer just a rare blurry photo, or just an eye-witness account, that they have to discount. Now there are too many videos and electronic detections to plausibly deny…

So the world seems to be going crazy. But it was always crazy. And amidst the apparent craziness, a new and more solid perception of reality may be emerging. This new reality may be shocking to some. For example, Carlson observes that the obvious explanation for UFOs and their capabilities is that they are spiritual, and not physical, entities.

A lot of people, I feel, are turning to God. Especially those closest to the best sources for the new information. Candace Owens just entered the Catholic Church. Jordan Peterson, Joe Rogan, Dave Rubin, Tucker Carlson, Russell Brand, have been publicly and rather quickly moving towards a more religious view..

The biggest con of all has been the claim that he does not exist, and the spiritual world, the world of ideal forms, does not exist.
