“Noticing the Patterns”
Author Friedrich Nietzsche wrote: “Sometimes people don’t want to hear the truth because they don’t want their illusions destroyed.”
Patterns happen all the time but are ignored by the masses.
If you take the consistent initiative and do a “deep dive” into history, and the events in your life, you might see some patterns emerge from your research.
In the 1999 science fiction film “The Matrix”, Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne) offers Neo (Keanu Reeves) a choice between a red pill and a blue pill, saying, "This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back.
You take the blue pill - the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill - you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes."
The red pill and blue pill are metaphorical terms that represent a choice between learning a truth that could be unsettling or life-changing, or remaining content with ordinary reality. The red pill represents the choice to learn the truth, while the blue pill represents the choice to remain content with ignorance.
There is so much more to the world around you IF you invest the time to discover truth versus propaganda, lies, manipulation and misinformation.
Do you believe information because the majority of people believe the same information?
Author George Orwell wrote: “The further a society drifts from the truth, the more it will hate those that speak it.”
Many of us, who have studied history, see forms of deception cloaked in different situations. Once you see it, you can’t “unsee” it. Many of us, who understand how to recognize patterns, are not distracted by “sudden events” that fool many people.
Truth is impartial. The “red pill” will enable you to see what you never thought existed but it can only happen if you suspend what you think you understand and have assumed it true.
If you assume something is true does not make it true.
The frustration of knowing that someone is trying to fool you can be enormous.
Author James Clear put it this way: “Never ignore an important truth merely because of the amount of work it would take to accept it.”
What do you choose? Do you choose the “blue pill” or the “red pill?
Have you noticed the patterns?
Do you choose truth?
I Believe in YOU!
