I have recently considered that the crises, though real, in the world (economic, political, social) are distractions that are meant to control the full realization of our REAL purposes and designs. I sometimes find that I am so tired physically and emotionally after hearing about the election processes (in USA), the darkness that prevails in all points of the globe, the preponderance with war and bloodshed, etc.
For me, much of this seems like a distraction....to keep my energies and focus tied up in the disintegration, rather than transcending and building, process. Just a thought....and wondered if anyone else has noticed the same (or similar).
One example that comes to mind was 911. It was real, it affected us, but it seemed that the real intent was to make us hostages to that event. I feel that the same kind of energy is shaping up today....to distract us from our real Journey.

I think you are absolutely right Carolyn. So much makes no sense. Laws to take away freedoms to give away food from your own garden????? Laws to force medication on people??? So I have decided to sit back and try to see the perfection of everything. By seeing everything in its highest light - (to quote someone:) 'As a gift that will reveal itself when we no longer oppose anyone.' This is confusing my family as I have in the past fought the battles - articulating my displeasure and my reasoning in the paper and in rallies, but I have seen the benefits of allowing, of consciously shinging light on a situation, and the outcomes are amazing. Not only do I have peace of mind but the falsity of situations seem to be revealing themselves evermore to the general public. Another piece of wisdom I hold onto is - Let me no longer focus on changing your behaviour, but only on changing my minds interpretation of your behaviour. I release the need to judge and criticise. I am loving and accepting! And so it is.
Of coarse there are alot of things to look at in this world, we have concerns, we feel things pulling us towards "them"... :)
But unlike so many others, I don't think these things are put there intensionally by anyone, it's simply how things have evolved in our Society. Cause leads to effect, etc...
I don't understand why people are so "sure" these things are "set up". I just don't get that mentality ~
When you get past being a victim, which believing that basically does, you realize how powerful YOU ARE...
And how much you CAN change things.
That makes all the difference within yourself and this World!!!! :-)
This may sound corny but I think some people who get into the drugs and alcohol are looking for that escape from all the distractions not caring that they hurt everyone around them in the process. Then maybe i am out to lunch with them.
my Mom always saying it ;)... so the question is, what are we diverted from and where ...
I was thinking that as long as people are trapped in the survival loup of poverty then I think there can be little room for anything else......as long as the population is in the water wearing life jackets all that they can think about is survival.....i don't watch the news and mostly a youtube kind of person.....;)
Well said...
also, there is a possibility that all this 'media rubbish' is averting our attention from more important events.
