Hungry For News

There are a good many people who watch the news. In the family I grew up in, my father liked to watch the news every evening. As it usually came on a dinner time, I watched a good deal of news as a child. That didn't change when I became an adult. What has changed in recent years is what I pay attention to and how I interpret the items I see on mainstream news.

I understand the need for information. There is nothing wrong with asking questions and searching for understanding. In fact, that's what learning and growing is all about. Questions lead you to new awareness. The problem I've gotten myself into is that I have a tendency to look outside myself for answers first. That's what I know--what my programming has always been.

Ironically, the whole reason I became aware of the alternative news scene in the first place was because I was forced to look inside myself for answers!!! I was having problems that the mainstream had no solutions for. I could hear my heart in the background saying, "There's so much more to this story than meets the eye." When I finally took the time to listen to that still small voice and began to look for answers within, I was led to outside information that backed up the answers I received in my heart!!!

So many of us are hungry for news. We want some indication--any indication--that things are working out the way they should be. The problem with this is our focus is on the wrong place. We are so used to looking outside ourselves for answers we don't take the time to consult our hearts for understanding of what is happening! This is why nothing gets done and our world struggles to leave her problems behind.

When we turn our focus inward, we are open to understandings that are not readily apparent in the outside world. When we turn our focus inward, we are instructed through the wisdom of Oneness what our role is in the universe. Not only do we receive the news we need when we need it, but we are able to play an active role in fixing problems and helping our world evolve.

Our world will make a great deal more progress when we begin to understand the answers lie within.

The Turning Point

Today, all eyes are on Greece and the markets. Greece itself has declared a banking holiday today because it is getting ready to default on loans, potentially setting off a chain reaction that will ultimately lead to the demise of the petrodollar. The Asian markets are already down substantially, and the markets in Europe are falling. 

That said, if I know anything about the powers that be, they will do their best to prop up the markets--even if it means publicly lying about them and manipulating the actual sales statistics. Otherwise, they will have to admit defeat. The demise of their power (the petrodollar) is not an easy thing for them to admit to. Because they totally control the mainstream media, they do have the power to put off the inevitable. Reality is largely what most people believe it to be. If a fact is generally ignored by the public, the powers that be can use that ignorance to perpetuate their myth.

The thing is, there is a point where the majority finally know something is up, and it is coming sooner rather than later. More and more people wake up to what is going on around them every day. The distractions and manipulations are becoming so commonplace they are beginning to be obvious to even those most asleep. 

Look at all the things going on in the United States in the past two weeks. A racially motivated church killing in the deep South. Controversy over an old symbol of slavery (the Confederate flag). The US Supreme Court ruling all gay marriages to be constitutional. Even though there is much debate going on, the American people have been largely peaceful. They can distract us enough to argue, but they cannot goad us into fighting.

The final turning point will be when they can no longer distract us enough to waste time arguing. When the majority can finally look at news on the mainstream media and say, "This is garbage! What is really going on behind the scenes?", then we will know their time is finally over. 

The turning point comes when the majority stops playing the manipulation game and begins thinking for themselves. It may come today. It may come a few months from now, but it is definitely coming. The momentum is too great to stop it. 

We are on the brink of amazing change! Chin up! The light is coming!!!
