Ever since I was a teenager, I’ve wanted to
stop the pollution of the planet for industry’s gains. I remember I had a
sticker on my wardrobe as a kid with the planet choking with fumes from factory
chimneys. Killing our planet for material benefits seemed madness to even a
young me, yet it carried on for decades, cloaked under lies and secrecy.
I’ve also always questioned everything,
challenged authority. In history at school, I learned about the four humors, an
Ancient Greek and Roman theory about how the body worked, subsequently
overturned by a new discovery, which changed everything. From then on, I knew
everything is open to change, that nothing could be said to be 100 per cent
certain, except that, in time, everything would change.
Then, studying journalism, I quickly saw
that newspapers have to fill their pages, with something. Anything goes in the
name of a story, and it isn’t necessarily the truth. All media has an agenda, a
bias, a slant on a story to make their readers buy their paper or watch their
news show, instead of the many others in the market. It’s really all
entertainment (often pretty sick), so it’s often baffled me why anyone would
believe it and not question it more. But so many people still have no idea that
they are being duped, lied to, played with, for purposes they still have no clue
about. Some say ignorance is bliss, but then all manner of horrors can happen
without you being any the wiser. But it’s your world too, don’t you want to
know how things really are and join in the movement to make things better?
When you know many truths about what’s
really happening, and when you question everything, but its seen as being
argumentative not simply being curious about your world, it’s not so easy to express
yourself without provoking a strong reaction in those who refuse to see behind
the smokescreen. But we have to keep on sharing what's real, the truth of our world, for there to be real change.
Sometimes, it’s not as easy as just telling it like it
is – from UFO evidence to conspiracy theories being conspiracy fact. So many
refuse to believe that their leaders really don’t have their best interests at
heart – but their own financial interests or security, above all else. Or
worse. Yes, it’s dark when you start to see the bigger picture of what
politicians are actually up to in your name, from starting and continuing wars,
to letting GM crops grow in your countryside.
But we have to help people know
the truth, to make more see that things desperately need to change.
So how do
you get those blind to the harsh realities of our world to see the truth,
without losing your friends and alienating your family (unless you want to, of
course!)?
The Thrive movement is a good place to
start, with an eye-opening movie to get you started questioning the status quo
– and plenty of further information, advice and countless ways to make change
in your own lives and the world at large – so that human beings can thrive.
Of course, people’s worlds will be rocked
to their foundations as they open the Pandora’s Box of serious corruption and crime
that occurs at the top of the tree. So, maybe, do it gradually, with kindness and
warmth, with those you know will be shocked to the core. Not everyone questions
the way things are. We’re encouraged not to by a culture that distracts in the
extreme with shopping, celebrity, sport and other fripperies. But perhaps by
talking about a new film or documentary that you’ve seen, about an important
issue or spiritual awakening, such as any from this great list from Mundos Divinos is a way to get others finding out more.
Host a screening for some friends at your
home, or go bigger and hire the local community centre. Copy a few different
movies onto DVDs to give to people, if they show interest. Even better, copy
loads and leave them on park benches, in bus stops and train stations, for
people to pick up and watch. Be creative and do a cover design with the words,
‘WATCH ME! Or ‘ESSENTIAL VIEWING!’ These DVD Drops could even be the more
shocking documentaries, blowing the lid on everything from the food industry to
fracking, free energy and aliens. Go for it!
Online, on social media sites, it’s much easier
to keep posting pictures and links to websites revealing what’s really going
on. Keep up the good work sharing anything of interest happening to bring
things to light every day.
This Saturday, for example, there’s a
conference held by the architects and engineers for 9/11 Truth, some 2000 professionals asking for a new independent
investigation questioning the integrity of what happened, to not just the twin
towers, but a third tower which fell into its own footprint, on that fated day.
If it all seemed a bit suspicious at the time, you’ll be pleased to hear many
people question the events that conveniently led to a ‘war on terror’ which has
exacerbated the war machine more than ever - making certain people in the arms
industry a LOT of money. Always follow the money, that’s my tip for getting to
the truth.
Many YouTube channels, such as The People’s Voice, Truthloader and Russell Brand’s The Trews, question the news and report a wider range of worldwide events.
I’ve always believed that the ‘truth will
out’, as Shakespeare wrote in the Merchant of Venice. For centuries, whole
continents thought it was fine to sell people into slavery, to treat other
humans worse than animals and make a heap of money of the back of this vile
trade. But the truth at the (cold) heart of it was felt, in growing numbers of
people around the world, and change happened, albeit slowly and still with work
to be done, but good triumphed evil, eventually. I have the same faith in
today’s world, that all the wrongs that are being done, still in secret for
many who won’t pull back the curtain, will be brought to light and rectified.
These things take time, but that time is now. Surely, good things will come to those who have waited, and acted, for most of their lives, in the hope that the world will be a better place. Now we feel it’s our last chance to really push for that change, to wake everyone up, get everyone on board and turn this world around.
