Who Controls Your Life?

Far too few people understand where control of their life actually lies. I include myself in this group because what we are blind to, we don't see. It's far too easy to focus on things we think or believe is important and ignore things that are truly important.

With the breakdown in family and community, the isolation of the modern world (less real world interaction and honest conversations), growing lack of accurate communication tools, the utter malpractice of psychology and psychiatry, the reliance on pharmaceuticals, the absence of nature, the programming and conditioning effect of many of the distractions and tools we have to use, the parroting effect of the issues and narratives being presented to us, etc... There are many ways blindness to our ceding of control to others takes place. 

Also, the absence of being aware that ~95% of our behavior is beyond our conscious mind. Within the realm of the subconscious mind. A part of our mind that has no filter. That is susceptible to trickery, confusion, fear, doubt, ignorance, conditioning to name a few... If we don't consciously create filters, recognize and identify threats, consciously condition our own behavior we can easily fall victim to our own blindness. Culture used to take care of this... but with the advent of modern institutions nad communications, movies and media, the programming of our subconscious minds has slipped from our family and community... to the programmers.

This blindness, this mental and perception weakness, has been around for awhile. The Native Americans had many words for it, some called it simply "The White-Man's Disease," the Algoquins called it "Wetiko," native Hawaiians call people with it "Haolies," the Buddists call it "Ego" or "Spiritual Materialism." Those in control of modern Western society or what I would call "the anti-culture culture" encourages it. It's the basis for hiding the reality that most have enslaved themselves to a system that will use them up for everything they have and then spit them out.

One glaring alternative is to take on the responsibility for our use of time. The first law in Hyrum W. Smith's book "The 10 Natural Laws of Time and Life Management" is: You control your life by controlling your time.

In this scenario, constructing some sort of virtual control panel or method of control specifically for you and your life is essential to taking control of your life in this hostile environment.

In addition, instead of relying on others who have been corrupted to determine what are the important indicators... Stock Market, GDP, CPI, Salary, Title, etc... you need to determine your own economic and well being indicators by associating yourself with trustworthy sources of knowledge and information.

If you haven't done this, it's pretty clear you have allowed others, whose interests may be in conflict with your own, to control your life. Don't let it continue.
