(Golden Age of Gaia)
I was writing about impartiality in reporting, inspired by Jonathan Turley, (1) and I noticed something that I must raise to awareness. It’s about awareness itself.
“Raise to awareness….” In my impressionable years, just starting out, we had what we called the path of awareness in the Growth Movement.
We raised matters to awareness truthfully and harmlessly, communicated that awareness, and discussed them.
That was considered a positive activity, whereas in most relationships it can immediately provoke controversy. “Why are you minding my business? Mind your own.” etc.
We actually talked about things, which was so refreshing.
Something raised to awareness was all that most change required. Awareness took care of the rest.
We thought of it as a centipede suddenly becoming aware of its 100 legs. It couldn’t walk. So, us becoming aware of our rackets and making others aware makes them harder to run and encourages growth.
The opposite is to have an image of ourselves and then do everything we can to dress it up and get others to buy it.
None of it is the truth. It’s just that we all agree to operate this way.
Telling the truth is a distinct departure and can have the mockingbird press sic themselves upon us for threatening social complacency. They lambasted us in those days for being selfish, self-centered, the Me Generation, when Self-Realization is the purpose of life.

What ever gave us the impression we live in a free country? We don’t. We live under political regimes who manipulate elections, kidnap and kill our children, drain our finances, enforce complacency, and punish those who find out and protest. And we need to face up to it.
The message from the controlled press is about freedom, while the reportage reinforces complicity in an unequal and downright evil order. (Toxic vaccines are evil. Forcing our children into sexual slavery is evil. Torturing them and draining their blood for adrenochrome is evil.)
We are not free in our countries. Not free in a public, social, and political sense. But we will be again. And all of this corruption, exploitation, and oppression we see will not go with us.
Thank you, Jonathan, for restoring my faith in the press to produce some voices of balanced truthfulness without partisanship.
