You can't be too angry with the regular people. Mostly constructs are handed down to us by people who truly believe that what they are handing down
(programming) to their children are the best way to equip them in order to lead their best lives.
We say people are biased, but we believe that our knowledge comes from a place of truth.
We say "I am stuck in traffic" while the driver behind you sees you as part of the traffic he is stuck in.
So we are all 'stuck in traffic' thinking the people around us is part of the problem and we just need to get through it.
This is exactly how beliefs operate.
Everybody knows their truth is the truth, and the other guys truth?
Well it's not the same as mine so it must be wrong because my truth says it's the only truth.
A child has no reason to disbelieve his parents when they teach him about their beliefs. A child accepts the instruction that influences their mind
for the rest of its life.
There is nothing more disruptive to a persons mind than to question the unquestionable. Fear is built into the belief system so even those who stray
are wracked with guilt and self doubt. Ask too many questions and you will be reproached. Beyond reproachment lies ostracism.
It's a powerful web that most are unable to escape because it requires the strength of standing tall on your own, and trusting yourself enough to see
where the unknown voyage takes you.
Most people have no desire for that and would rather disappear into the comfort of conformity.
Someone who goes to the gym religiously for years will not feel good about themselves if they can't gym for a week, worrying about whatever gains they
will have to reclaim through hard work. It is an illusion.
When it comes to core beliefs about our reality, multiply that by a million.
When your beliefs die, you die only to be reborn naked and alone. People avoid you because you're not one of them anymore.
Their truth cannot tolerate constant scrutiny, doubt and disbelief. Their truth is scared.
Their spiritual beliefs is labeled ultimate love, and without it their figurehead promises ultimate pain.
It's not a mature relationship and that's why it's never approached as a mature relationship. At its core it's childlike, possessive, afraid,
threatening.
Remove that belief and people will act as if they have lost everything when in fact they still are exactly who they were.
Stage hypnosis show us how powerful symbolism and stereotypes are ingrained within our minds.
It's quite the accomplishment to transcend these things. If all people could do it the elites would lose their ability to tell believable stories.
Human nature in general won't allow it. We keep ourselves imprisoned.
You can unlock the cell door but most captives will choose to remain inside the room voluntarily.
People who have been prisoners their whole life find it difficult to navigate freedom because it requires being responsible for yourself. So they
commit another crime on the outside and get send back to prison. It sucks in prison, but its the only place they 'know how to be'.
And they will defend it with their lives.
