What Makes Us See The Truth When So Many Others Are Falling For The Lies?

When growing up, I was always curious about what was really going on, and what the truth was behind the ‘facts’ that we were being taught at school, which seemed to be so impervious to new discoveries and evidence to the contrary.

I remember in my early teens reading books from the funky fringe by the likes of Erich von Däniken (who has died less than six weeks ago now), Carlos Castaneda (who once said, “the best of us always comes out when we are up against the wall” – so true), Pauwels & Bergier (who wrote ‘The Morning of the Magicians’), Lyall Watson (who wrote ‘Supernature’), and Peter Tompkins who wrote the 1973 classic ‘The Secret Life of Plants.’ It was that book which really got me wondering why such well researched and well referenced information which was opening up a whole new field of scientific study, was not being taught in school.

I concluded that it was just a matter of time, and that soon curriculums would be updated to expand the awareness and consciousness of the next generation of classroom kids.

Well I am still waiting for that to happen!

Meanwhile, all those incredible books are now forgotten and lost in dusty boxes on the bottom shelf of dingy old second-hand bookstores. Yet, in their time, they helped me realize that what we are fed by school curricula and newspaper headlines is just what ‘the system’ wants us to believe, not what the real truth is. And so grew my skepticism and my suspicion, which has only become stronger since I migrated to the West and realized how much further down the indoctrination path the hallowed ‘First World’ really is.

But I often wonder why, from such an early age, I didn’t buy the narrative?

And it happened for so many of us again in 2020 when we were told to panic and go and hide in our rooms because we were all going to die. It sounds so ludicrous now, but that is exactly what happened. Yet some of us (and more than we realized at the time) just didn’t buy it. We watched, we considered, and even if we grudgingly put on a mask, we knew it was illogical.

John Leake asks in one of his latest posts, “Why did a small minority of people quickly perceive all the anomalies and implausibilities of what we were being told by our government, while the majority were apparently unable to spot the lies we were being told?”

In response to this, Leake references the 19th century French philosopher, Henri Bergson, who is famous for his reflections about consciousness. On this topic of intuitive awareness, Bergson once said;

“Fortunately, some are born with a spiritual immune system that sooner or later rejects the illusory worldview that was grafted onto them from birth through social conditioning. They begin to sense that something is not right and search for answers. Inner knowledge and anomalous external experiences reveal to them a side of reality that others do not perceive, and thus begins their journey of awakening. Every step on this journey is taken by following the heart instead of the crowd, and by choosing knowledge rather than the veil of ignorance.”

Remarkable this was written more than a hundred years ago, as Leake points out, when he says; “The idea of an individual “awakening” is ancient, and it captures the idea that most of the time our minds are in a somnambulant state, probably because active thinking requires an enormous amount of energy.

The human brain is heavily tilted toward doing and thinking the same repetitive patterns, apparently from the natural selective mechanism that if we are still alive, we must be doing something right, while changing the behavioural pattern could be hazardous.

This is apparently why we have such a strong tendency to choose what is familiar, even if what is familiar is foolish and inimical to flourishing and well-being.”

So is that evolutionary view of why some people are set apart to always ‘take the path less travelled’ and to explore reality and ‘the truth’ for themselves, not matter how loudly ‘the herd’ tells them they are wrong, right?

Personally I’m not so sure. I feel there is something deeper to it. Something like a knowing or a sixth sense that we are able to ‘feel’ what is right and wrong, what is safe and what is dangerous, what is truth and what is a lie…

Since those tumultuous days of 2020 and 2021, I have spoken to hundreds of people who have said the same. They just knew that the official narrative didn’t add up and quietly stepped into the sidelines to see what was going to happen. It was a tangible sensation and they knew without doubt that they shouldn’t participate, even though at the time there seemed to be no logic to that ‘feeling.’

Now, what I have also noticed with those many, many people I have spoken to is that there is an immediate ‘click’, a type of camaraderie and a sense of connection through this ‘like-mindedness.’ Again, it is as if those who, in John Leake’s words, “see clearly” somehow have greater intuition and perception that bonds them across all the usual racial, language and religious differences which have been used so effectively in the past to divide us.

Maybe we are finally ‘finding our tribe’ and the development of these spiritual connections or psychic abilities are what humanity needs to make the next evolutionary step towards becoming true ‘children of the stars’…?

Who knows, but I think maybe we are indeed here for a reason…
