Several years ago, when I was in the middle of questioning the medical establishment here in the United States, I fell into a deep, deep rabbit hole. At the time, all I wanted was better answers for my daughter. What I ended up with has continued to surprise and amaze me. I am still in that rabbit hole, much further and deeper in than I ever would have imagined, but I wouldn't change it if I had the chance. The rabbit hole transforms a person into what is better known as a conspiracy theorist.
There are several key attributes of a conspiracy theorist. The first (and most important) is the ability to ask lots and lots of questions!!! Conspiracy theorists have an incessant curiosity about how things work and questions are all part of the information gathering process. The more questions you ask, the more information becomes available to you. People who ask questions know they don't have all the answers. When you don't have all the answers, you are much more open to new possibilities.
A second key attribute of a conspiracy theorist is the capacity to think and synthesize the information their questions uncover. A conspiracy theorist will look at the data and attempt to make sense of it. Quite often, status quo information will not make sense in combination with the new information so new questions form! Needless to say the first two attributes go hand-in-hand.
A third attribute conspiracy theorists have is courage. It takes an extremely strong person to be willing to stand up to the establishment and point out potential flaws in the accepted information. On many occasions you find yourself standing alone. Needless to say, this is not a comfortable place to be. Many people find this struggle not worth it and decide to leave the questions well enough alone and go back to sleep.
A final attribute of a conspiracy theorist is a subtle spirituality that typically transcends traditional religion. Deep down, conspiracy theorists understand there is a subtle connection that binds us all into a perfect whole. It is this inner connection to all things divine that begins this questioning process in the first place. The bond is strong enough that it whispers to the person there is much more information to be found.
There are many people out there who believe conspiracy theorists are just a bunch of crackpots who will believe anything, no matter how silly--that their "theories" are based on fiction and untested principles. The thing is, all big shifts of thought and consciousness come about because people are able to question, think for themselves and stand up for ideas that are not popular. Look at people like Einstein and Martin Luther King.
Conspiracy theorists change the world. Do you have what it takes?
