The Word- Alternate realities!
Hello all,
Last week, we were discussing the importance of the Word from a divine masculine and feminine perspective. We humans take our words, so very lightly. A person who truly understands the power of the word, won't use the words unnecessarily. Words have power to create our lives, reality and destiny. Instead of giving importance to the word, we give more importance to the happenings of the world. This happened here, that thing happened there, the climate, the weather, the political and social climate etc.
But do we ever realize, as humans we sowed the seed of that reality somewhere in the previous years. At that time, we never realized the importance of the seed that was being sown, but then we take notice when the seed has grown into a giant Oak tree. Once it is a giant tree, there needs deep struggle to uproot it. This is the metaphorical description of all the chaos the world is seeing nowadays.
Every situation starts as a very unimportant and relatively flimsy scenario. But with time and some unforeseen conditions it takes humongous proportions. Once it takes the form of a Goliath, it becomes difficult to contain it. Today, we are going to discuss the alternate realities the internet is creating where humans are becoming more and more disillusioned and not able to understand the truths. Underlying these scenarios, some spiritual laws also play out.
A time before the internet: Many of you may have lived in a time, where there was no internet. As I am 50 years of age, I have. I always feel, the times were very simple in those days. There was not even TV until my nineteenth year in my home. People had deeper relationships, more time to talk and interact. Have much deeper conversations. Yes, I also may be wearing slightly rose-colored glasses. But in the modern times, I do feel, every mind as very chaotic. Too many ideas, thoughts and concepts floating around. Where is humanity rushing, running and charging? Why don't we slow down and take a breather, enjoy some of the flowers and birds of this beautiful Earth?

The internet, social media, TV and the continuous news cycles have created a continuous loop of constant mental spoon feeding of information. Eat, eat, and eat. Here, a snippet of the news, there a piece of information and later another piece of data. The human mind is barraged with information and data- drip, drip, drip, constant. So, this keeps on stimulating the nerves. Every information is actually an electric impulse going from the eye to the brain through the optic nerve. This constant flow does not give the brain or mind a break. Brain has to keep on reading, reversing and interpreting the data. Mind has to constantly understand it.
What happens? As the information is constant, the brain or mind finds no time to relax, take a break and recharge. This constant turned on state makes the mind and the brain very tired. A tired mind loses the ability to critically think and analyze. Is there any wonder, humans are becoming walking zombies with a phone hanging from the neck or hand? I totally understand the dynamics. The marriage of Rahu- electronic, futuristic technology with Mercury- logic, information data with another partner in the mix- the Moon- Mind. Basically, Moon is taken prisoner by Rahu as well as Mercury.
Rahu in lower vibration is rakshasa- demon and Mercury is a teenager. Think a demon along with a teenager running the collective conscious human mind. That is where we are. Rahu is churning and pouring on intoxicating news and Mercury, the teenager is keeping on feeding it to the mind. The mind without a clue is drinking this Kool-aid of constant runaway truck of information. In Vedic astrology- Rahu rules intoxicating liquids, drinks, drugs and other mind-altering substances. It is not necessary; mind should be altered with drinks and drugs. It can also be altered by mis-information or fake news. Shouldn't we take a break and chill out?
All of us read, so many news. How many of us take the time to understand whether the news is real, truthful or hocus-pocus? Many of us don't. It is not necessary a piece of news has to be truth. It can also be someone sitting in front of a computer and randomly creating something. Here, you can ask, isn't that what you are doing? Yes. But the difference is, the concept I write, I first use in my life and practice it. If I write about a mantra, be very positive, I chant it. If I write about the concept - Aham Brahma Asmi- I am the creator, be sure, I have taken the concept, understood it, aligned with it and started creating a blog or Quora answers for my own life.

Mis-information: But the news or information, I mentioned is never real. Some propaganda or some organization puts personnel to deliberately confuse the minds of the people. Remember, the constant flow of information? In this flow, a human who is not aware does not realize this fact and take the time to check whether the information is true or not. We as consumers, voraciously gorge upon whatever is being fed to us. That makes us victims of misinformation, fake news and alternate realities. Alternate realities we will discuss after a bit. But this misinformation has become a truth of everyday life.
As a human, it is imperative that we try to use our critical thought process and logic to winnow the truth out of a lot of falseness. This concept of misinformation is a headache to the social-media platforms like Facebook, Quora and Twitter. If people are just cooking up things, how can we understand what is truth and what is not. What is fact and what is not? This dynamic is actually playing out in real life in real time, nowadays. Let us take the main example.
The Covid-19 Pandemic. There is so much information out there, we have no clue what is real and what is fake. The problem is when there is a lot of fake news, people don't understand what to do and what not to do. This creates a lot of problem because people are not wearing masks, are not socially distancing and not taking the Covid prevention measures. Now, what do we see? There are so many infections and every day there is another strain. As of now we have heard a British strain and a Los Angeles strain. Yesterday again, I heard a new strain from South Africa.
The people who are not taking the measures may be or may not be actually putting themselves into risk because most probably they are young and healthy. But one thing is definite. It is the people who are above 65 with underlying other medical conditions who are being put to risk. Is this fair? To do something, so that others are being at risk? No. We should exist and live in such a way all, yes, every single Soul gets a fair chance at life and living. So, we as people, need to listen to genuine, time-tested, truthful facts that are given by medical and scientific experts. For anyone reading this blog, here is the Covid preventive measures from the CDC, USA- Center for Diseases Control, the authority to decide what should be practiced- Covid Checklist. On the left side of the page, links to every kind of information is available. Genuine,truthful information.
So, the misinformation has overtaken the world in these modern internet and pandemic times. So, already people are confused about what are facts and what are fiction. Above this, people are deliberately spreading fake news and conspiracy theories. Nowadays there are organizations that actively are involved in spreading these falsities and lies. There is a saying in Malayalam, the native language from my home state of Kerala, India- Kalakka vellathil, meen pidikkuka. Fishing in muddy waters!
The water is so muddy, the fish don't get dissolved Oxygen to breathe and they come up to the surface, struggling to get air, belly up. Then, the fisherman could catch the fish. The same way, here people are confusing the heck out of people that, normal everyday person does not know whom to believe and fall for con men as well as tricksters. So, it is important to understand and be aware of whom to trust and what to trust.

QAnon: Let us discuss, such an organization that is actively involved in spewing misinformation and conspiracy theories. This organization, which is discredited and disproved is called QAnon who deeply believe the world is run by Satan worshiping, cannibalistic pedophiles who are actively trying to bring down the previous US President, Donald Trump. Their propaganda and agenda are considered far right (too conservatives and the country are only for one race), which believes that many people are actively trying to bring them and the previous Presidency down. They are so much into conspiracies, they even believed that the former President would do a day of reckoning called "Storm" and would arrest a lot of people who were thought as part of the cabal the QAnon had cooked up.
This organization started in October of 2017 with an anonymous post on an image board (a website, which has the image of a board) by a person named Q. This Q could have been a single person or multiple people. A lot of people got enchanted and started following them. Soon enough, it grew into a huge organization. Now, it has been known that the Capitol storming and insurrection had a lot of QAnon members in the mob. Many of them have been arrested by the FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation) and other police authorities.
The point, I am trying to make is, we as a reader need to know from where we get our information and facts. Otherwise trusting anything that comes before our eyes can lead us into dark rabbit holes of confusion or to the prison cells as many of the QAnon members are now facing. Isn't it a fact that even a school kid knows, storming and taking charge as a mob of governmental buildings in a democracy brings punishment and jail time? Here, the logical mind had taken a Tata, while the subconscious emotional mind is running the show.
Yes, I write about living from the heart using emotions. But those emotions are raw energy. They have no eyes or brain. They have no capacity to think. So, allowing them to run the show would be like a mad elephant running amok or a bull in a china shop. No eyes, no ears or no sense, but raw power and energy. It is when this raw power is channeled as energy using the logical mind, the emotions work elegantly and beautifully. But without any logic, if we fall for any cult or propaganda organization, start reading their pamphlets and other information, slowly this starts to get deeply into the subconscious mind. Anything that gets into the subconscious, has the power to move mountains or bring another reality that is not aligned to the true reality.

Alternate realities: This is how different or alternate realities are created. The person who reads up about information on websites, pamphlets or other output sites as they keep on reading, the information drop by drop starts to rewire or realign the inner mindset or reality of the person. The person from their subconscious mind starts to think, this may be correct. They keep on thinking about it, reading about it and start to feel there may be some truth to it. Now, the funny thing starts to happen. Let us see, how these proceeds.
We have discussed before here- Our inner reality, reflects outside! Anything that we deeply start to feel, that feeling is the cash or the Universal coin to which the Universe responds. The person keeps on feeling this conspiracy theory or fake news as correct. As the person is emotionally feeling that, the Universe starts to respond to his/her request. People, places, comments, features, websites everything would get presented to the person. Slowly, they move towards a reality they themselves are creating. This tunnel of darkness to conspiracy theories, fake news and lies keeps on showing up and feeding their mental appetite.
The spiritual law is water tight. Whatever we are feeding our mind, whether it is scientific truths, spiritual truths or conspiracy theories, whatever we are feeding our emotional mind would start to show up in our life and becomes our reality. It is because of this tenet, it is practically impossible, to make a person deep in the dungeons of lies or conspiracy theory to understand. Because we as a person interested in science is standing in our reality and speaking, that is our truth. But that is not the truth the conspiracy person is living. The Universe or their own experiential reality is bringing proof after proof that what they are living is their truth.
This is why it is imperative to develop a cutting-edge intellect to understand what is truth and what are lies. Because the chances to fall into the rabbit holes of the mind are numerous. This is also a truth of true spirituality, which is very logical. The mind, if one is not careful can masquerade as the heart. The mind can twist or flex itself into the shape of the heart, the person follows it as the heart, instead of the truth of the real heart. This is why lower vibrational mind is Rahu- the snake and the higher vibrational heart is Krishna.
A person living an alternate reality gets stuck at the emotional level. They don't get to the level of the heart or the Soul. If they get to the heart, then the person gets a taste of the concept of Universal love. But in the Capitol insurrection, was their compassion and love? No. The mob was literally beating a police officer to death using a flag pole, symbol of the freedom itself- the American flag.
This mind of the conspiracy theorist starts to build stories of deep lies, deception, and treachery. The person believing this, goes deeper and deeper into those lies and falsity. This is the same kind of technique the terrorist organizations and cults utilize. Keep on feeding the follower's mind the lies and falsity, soon they turn into a zombie of a mind robot. The person is still living, but the mind is under the control of the cult leader or the terror organization head. Everything else the mainstream people live become an untruth for them. This is how people as young as seventeen and eighteen leaving their family and friends behind, go to Syria or Yemen to join the fights of the terror organizations.

Here, to truly come out of the cult or the organization, the person only has to deeply think- Do I have free will and choice? Can I leave the organization or the cult at my will and can I choose to leave them whenever I want? Usually the answer may be - I cannot. That shows, the person actually has no free will and choice. Anything that cuts into our free will and choice is against the principles of the Universe.
Because the Universe or the source deeply respects the free will and choice of the person. How do I know? For the last four years, my intuition kept on asking, when I started my blog, when I started writing Quora answers, when I took my business license, when I made my website, when I started my FB page, when I started my company and when I put together my store- Are you sure? Are you certain? Do you positively think so? Do you have second thoughts? Do you have trust in yourself, what you are going to start? Are you sure? Again, and again and again. Giving me space and chance to choose. Free will and choice!
One of the main principle, the Universe respects and recognizes- Free will and choice! Anything, any one or any organization that takes away that from a person is working against the Universe. Free will and choice!
I wish you a good and safe weekend, and I'll see you next Friday! 😉
Next week: The Word - Self deception!
