Truth in Alternatives (Part 1)

I have some intense thoughts to share with you today. I will not always write about things like this, but I am a reflective, thinking person. I investigate. I seek knowledge and understanding. I dare to live outside of the proverbial box that “they” fight to keep us in. I am not scared of change and development and I have a few observations that I want to convey. Remember, I’m speaking from the perspective of someone living in America and from my personal opinion/experience.

Many people think it is too risky to turn to the internet or alternative sources for truth and fact. Instead they insist through implication that you should form your opinions and beliefs on what is commonly admonished and publicly approved by mainstream authorities; be it the institutions of government, religion, public education, medicine, finance, etc.

The only problem with this way of “thinking” is that the truth is hardly, if at all, to be found in such capacities. Popular media and, thus, popular opinion is controlled and engineered by people who have self-serving agendas. To them, you and I are just the “little people.” But at least they’re nice about it and allow us to feel, once in a while, that we actually do get to think for ourselves and have complete, God-given freedom. That way we don’t fuss too much, stay in our place, and are more easily led to the slaughter.

Don’t understand what I’m talking about? That’s okay. Research. That’s the point of this post; to urge you to find out for yourself and be aware that there is a whole other side to the official stories we are told every day to pacify us and soothe us to sleep as would frigid waters that carry us away into permanent unconsciousness. 

Truth Is Not Popular 

Also consider that the truth is not popular. It is not in the main stream. It must be personally sought out amongst the varying side streams – alternative streams. You deserve to know both sides: what the “experts” are telling you and what they are afraid you might find out. You mustn’t be enlightened; it would hurt their bottom line and weaken their level of control.

And as far as experts go… First of all, experts are only experts at what they’re taught, not necessarily what is true, right, or beneficial. Entire corporations, operations, industries, and even research organizations are often established based solely on inaccurate expert conclusions that persist, not because it’s successful or benefiting humanity (because it’s not), but because it turned out to be a moneymaker or platform for power. 

I won't name names but use your imagination, check into what I'm saying, and begin to pull back the veil from over your own eyes. Dare to entertain the thought that I'm not talking about strange, barely known, off-the-wall companies that get run out of business for lack of integrity and therefore won't affect you and yours... who is held accountable anymore anyway?... but major ones you most likely have or do support. 

Consider yourself a shrewd skeptic? Fine. Just make sure you're being just as skeptical of mainstream ideas and conventional practices as you are with alternatives. The next time someone tells you that what you currently think is impossible really is possible, listen. Don't be so quick to dismiss contrary ideas or options. Question why, how. They may know something you don't. It just may change your life for the better when you realize how much responsibility for your family's "well being" you've entrusted to others and begin to take it back. All that these "others" can do is further attempt to fool and pressure you into believing that they know what's best more than you do/can.

We are all collectively being affected every day. Withholding pertinent information can be just as detrimental as giving false information. The control of information and the economy are commonly used tactics for enforcing control over a populace. No, not just in some other, far off country. I'm talking to YOU.

It’s mind-blowing to come to the realization that what you have trusted your whole life is indeed hollow and propped up in order to keep the cash flowing in and the monopoly expanding. Forget about you.  

All The Experts Are Dead 

Second, as I read in a recent Deliberate Agrarian blog post, I now also agree with the notion that all the experts are dead. What that means to me is that we view experts as practically knowing everything you can know about a topic. But the only way to know all YOU can know about something is to no longer be alive. Your ability to learn has stopped. If you are still alive and your learning has stopped, there has been a death of education and growth. 

The only unchanging foundation of principles one can surely stand on is God’s Word, and a careful translation and understanding of it at that, of which God will reveal to individuals in his own time. It’s okay to not know everything. In fact, if you do know everything, I would be inclined to not listen to you much. Be a seeker. Be a student.

You may be genuinely amazed (as I was) of just what lengths to which many people will go for profit. It is easy to be naive and gullible; thinking we can trust any person or any entity that presents itself in an official capacity... or, could it be possible that we've been deliberately dumbed-down and health-impaired so that we won't be able to think - or think straight - enough to recognize the difference between right and wrong and know when we're being deceived and ripped off? Food for thought. 

Greed really does cause people to turn a blind eye and keep a closed mind about growth, learning new information, and making changes. You will find that the root of all evil is the love of money.

Somehow, as I get older and more experienced, I find less and less room in my life for anything that comes out of the mouth of an “expert”. In my opinion, conventional expertise is often frustrating, costly, endangering to life and limb, over-complicated, and practically useless. Not all of the time, but probably most of the time. If you want to know in what arenas of society I concede to this theory, re-read paragraph two above.

I have a lot to say on this topic, but for now I’ll just sum it up. For about the last 10 years, I have been compelled to challenge EVERYTHING I’ve ever been influenced to believe and know as fact. I encourage you to start doing more of your own thinking and to be open to the possibility (and probability) that much of what we are taught to follow and submit to is fraudulent, deceptive, untrue, and smoke in mirrors.  

Seeker of The Truth 

One of the meanings of my daughter's name is "Seeker of the truth". She is that indeed and so am I. Have no fear that precious truth will be lost or abandoned; seek and trust the Truth (Jesus/Yeshua) and let the cards fall where they may. Sometimes the best way to sort through a huge mess is to scrap it and start over.

Because this post has expanded further than I intended, I will post the second half separately. The next time I touch on this topic, I will encourage you to really know your personal reality instead of embracing denial and I will give you a direct challenge.
