The Strength To Stand

I have a friend on Facebook. She lives in England. I've never met her in person--she was introduced to me by a mutual friend, but she is someone I particularly admire. She has a son who has a rare genetic anomaly. He is capable of learning, but needs a different sort of structure than the mainstream typically allows. The local school district wants him in a local special education school where he won't learn what he is capable of. As a mother, my friend is very aware of what he is capable of and has found an out of district school that would work. Problem is, the local school district doesn't want to pay for it--to the point of trying to bring her up on criminal charges for not educating her son. (She has been home-schooling him, a task she is more than capable of with her advanced education.) Fortunately, my friend is also brilliant! She has been able to anticipate their moves and remain step ahead of them. A lesser person would have given up a long time ago. My friend is an extremely powerful woman, and she is here to help change the world.

Changing the world is not for the faint of heart. It takes amazing courage to be willing to stand in the fire intentionally. Just being ridiculed is enough to make most people back down. The powers that be understand this. They find ways to manipulate information so that most people will not have the courage to stand up for the truth. This is why they are still in power.

This is also why I have no shame in calling myself a conspiracy theorist. I do believe ideas the mainstream has been programmed to consider outrageous, and I have actual reasons!!! I have learned to listen to my heart when it tells me something is not right! Usually when I investigate something because of an underlying nagging feeling, I am rewarded with new information that makes me understand why I questioned in the first place.

The world is a very unjust place. Billions of people live in abject poverty while a very few at the top of the food chain wiggle their fingers and their every whim is acted on. The thing is, is doesn't have to be this way. Mother Earth gives her resources freely to us--to ALL of us (not just the thieves at the top). They have done such a good job controlling everything they now also control what most people think.

The world will not and cannot change if all you do is stand back and watch. Change requires active participation, and ALL of us need to participate, not just a few random and strong people!!!

It is time for all of us to tune in to our inner strength. If nothing else, you can actively support people like my friend mentioned above!!! By adding your strength to those engaged in the battle, we all become stronger. By adding your support to all those ideas based on actual truth (and not made up lies), we all have the strength to stand.

Want to change the world? Find your courage. Find the strength to stand. (Hint: it's in your heart!!!)

Attributes Of a Conspiracy Theorist

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?
