Know Yourself – Question Everything


First understand yourself before you try to make sense of everything else. What does this really mean? Understanding yourself is first acknowledging that we are a product of a life time of mental conditioning (what we've been taught or subjected to). As a result we subconsciously filter out or reject any information that falls outside of the boundaries of what we have been conditioned to accept. This becomes the basis behind discrimination between different groups of people. One group has been conditioned from birth on to accept a set of ideas presented as "facts" while the opposing group also are conditioned but presented with different or polar opposite ideas that they too accept as fact. Hence the clash results and nothing changes because both groups fail to realize that they have been conditioned in the first place!

A touchy case in point especially for religious folks is the differing viewpoints of most religions. How often have we've seen the strife and division that results from religious conditioning of different ideas resulting in wars throughout history. It should be noted that religions are the perfect tool for controlling a massive number of people and the elite controllers of our world have made effective use of this. Especially over the last half century this conditioning is further fragmenting the human race by teaching an ever confusing and conflicting information about everything you can think of - religion, science, history, philosophy. This has been done by design to produce a population that fails to unite on thought and intent about anything important. Today everyone has an opinion about what is right that varies from everyone else opinions.

Let's add another form of conditioning that has had the most success - television. Think about this - Why do you think they call a show on television a "program" or "programming"? Also think about the kind of programming content that is now popular versus say forty years ago. Can you honestly say that programming today is increasing your mental concentration or is it doing the exact opposite? 

So the first step is acknowledging that we all are victims of an aggressive mental conditioning program that has dictated everything we believe, say or do since the day we were born! You need to realize this before you can do anything else. You must be willing to accept the one fact that everything you have ever been taught may be a lie – everything! Do you think that all the correct facts have been presented to you on a silver platter? How often have you been encouraged to question what you believe?

Are you willing to ask these difficult questions?

If a Christian: How do I know that Bible is even the word of God? What are the exact origins of the various books in the Bible? When were they translated? What are the earliest manuscripts and who wrote them? How do we know they were authentic?

About your government: Does my government even work for the citizens? How do I know if my government is using our taxes to fund secret technologies that could be used against us? Why do we continue to support it financially if it is not working for us? Why don’t we replace the entire process? Am I willing to do what is necessary to secure my personal freedom and not be subjected to tyranny?

About science: How do we know if certain authorities such as scientists and doctors are giving us (the average person) correct information? How do we know if there’s an agenda to cover up specific information to keep the masses in check for a desired result?

About education: Why is education not given a priority in our community? Why do we have to go into debt to pay for a decent college education? Why does the quality of education continue to decline? How do I know if “what” we are being taught is even correct especially in the fields of science and history?

About business: Why are we living with a monetary system that rewards only a few while the rest live in poverty? Why is there so much emphasis on climbing a corporate ladder just to be downsized in later years? Why has the work environment become so regimented in recent years and your value as an employee has been reduced down to what is called a “human resource”?

Granted these are but a few questions but I believe you get the main point:

Question, Question, Question EVERYTHING!

Personally I started that process a few years ago and I have never looked back! It has been an amazing time of discovery and mental/spiritual evolution for me and it all started with “Why”! Is it not time for you to set out on your own journey to start with a clean slate and begin the process of questioning? Do not let fear control you or stop you in discovering the truth. As what was so appropriately stated in the X-Files series “The truth is out there!”.  You just have to be willing to not accept anything you’re taught or hear on face value but diligently do your research to establish for yourself what truth is. I am certainly not going to hand you a bunch of information on a silver platter in this blog and expect you to believe it without you doing the necessary research to confirm whether what I’m presenting is truthful or not. My primary intention is to get you to “think and process” and let you make your own determination of what is truthful in your mind.

Namaste,
Samantha
