You’ve seen me share this visible meme a few times; it always comes along when the predictable sunlight seems looming on the near horizon. Something again to surface that will cause us to question our preconceptions.
Perhaps it started out like this… This information, this description of events, situations, explanations of the background cannot be as described; yet, these Sundance citations make it difficult to refute, unnerving to dismiss; but it’s all just a little too disconcerting; but we’ll watch and see, making a mental note.
As time progresses, it is just like this; it is factually as presented. This journey toward the truth of the thing is messy, awkward, weird at times and quite strange to participate in.
Your friends and/or family end up in the same place you were. As you share the information context, they too, just like you before, initially want to dismiss the truth of the thing – because to accept it breaks away from the comfortable places of prior context. Like you, they too start to notice things. They too pay attention.
The next time you converse, the prior dismissals are not as strong as before. The awakening has enlarged as an outcome of rather unusual predictions, and the outcomes, uncomfortably, also seem to reconcile when the context you provide is considered.
The, “but it can’t be” response, is replaced with “how did you know?” The awakening expands.
Perhaps for you, like me, like most of us, the seemingly uncomfortable place where information is absorbed with totally new contexts for understanding comes best in small digestible doses. If so, that’s the healthy way. I believe it is the best way to retain stability amid an increasingly unstable world.
At the end of most revelations of significant impact, there are people with motives and intentions that boil down to two priorities: influence and affluence. Those who seek power value influence. Those who seek personal financial gain value affluence. These are the priorities we find at the heart of most control efforts.
The need for control is always a reaction to fear.
One of the most significant challenges when confronting corruption, is the need to initially ignore motives and stay focused on the demonstrable and proven citations that cannot be refuted. Stable people are able to absorb consequential information and remain focused; the motives or understanding the ‘why’ factor is not as important as the reality of accepting the outcome.
