A message for our times
Hi everyone! I’ve been unwell this week so I’m behind in what I had planned to post on YouTube. I’ll be back soon with more about what’s going on, but I think W***y has an even more important message for us that I would like to share (Link in first comment below (IG) and in stories)
I’ve spoken about the deceptive nature of the Pluto-Neptune sextile that has held fairly consistently for the past century. To me it is a signature of the extreme use of propaganda - or what could in some cases be called marketing - to influence minds and appeal to base instincts. These are the same tools used in cult programming.
This influence is so refined, subtle, and deceptive that it overrides our intuition and common sense, so we become highly susceptible to believe what is simply not true, not reasonable, and even not good for us in many ways.
Worse still, we become so comfortable with what we are told that we stop being curious to know more, and this is deliberate because we are quickly distracted by another emotionally stimulating thing, ad infinitum, so we forget that the seed for one belief was planted without investigation as it is buried under the torrent of new seeds.
The Buddha taught to believe only what has been directly experienced, or what the wisdom traditions have taught, or what a reliable person has told us. Discernment is key. A reliable source is not based on a personality that we like or identify with.
The Buddha would not have trusted the media, or the government. A healthy skepticism is a sign of discernment and wisdom. Blindly adopting ideas and beliefs without understanding their origins or what they represent puts yourself in a vulnerable position.
