TST 8/3/23 - Zombified Psychosis
from The Secret Teachings · host Ryan Gable
People often say that it is difficult to know what is true, who can be trusted, or what is happening in the world. In the past illiteracy prevented the public from rebellion but today it is largely literacy that does that job. Most people can read and write, but only sort of, and these are the people consumed with words or ideas that sound nice or with reading headlines and thinking they are informed. Whereas in the past it has been censorship that controlled information, today it is excessive propaganda which so overwhelms the public they either become zealots or loose contact with reality, or both. In all cases, they jump on bandwagons even if they know that what the group is doing stands against their own beliefs. But the group lets them fit in, socialize, and be a part of something, while also providing power and influence to defend them. This is what is wrong with America: we have no identity and so we choose special groups in a form of collective mass hysteria not unequal to the laughing, dancing, anorexia, and witch trial pandemics of the past.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-secret-teachings--5328407/support.Thank you for supporting independent, unbiased inquiry into the mysteries of our world.
