Due to my big mouth & opinion about mandatory vaccinations I am now experiencing quite a testing time as a consequence.
For the last 3 nights I have had to get up at 3am to stand outside in unseasonably freezing temperatures in order to get my internet time. We’ve just moved house and with no 3G connection and no internet box till Thursday the only place to pick it up now is at our old home, 100m down the road.
The trouble is I am trying to avoid the man who lives there due to a recent conversation regarding vaccinations which led him to become impolite, not dissimilar to the doctor who created the conversation by telling us we were ‘ignorant & uncultured’ earlier that day because we had chosen not to vaccinate our children.
After moving from Bali to France we lived with our friend for a month while we looked for somewhere more permanent and I thought our host would enjoy hearing about our experience with the local doctor. I thought wrong.
I’ve known him a few years now and after successfully discussing the flat earth theory without him getting upset I assumed he would be open to the vaccine discussion.
But just like it was for the doctor there was an instant angry reaction to my simple words.
Why would this be?
What is it that turns a man from an open minded non-judgemental caring individual into an angry person? The way his energy changed in the moment he learned about my decision to not vaccinate the kids was HUGE! He could no longer look me in the eye and went red with rage while giving me the same modern medicine speech as his doctor friend.
The answer is the media.
He follows the same pattern as so many with his media habits.
- Newspaper every day.
- His favourite (politically orientated) magazine at the weekend.
- Radio news at work.
- TV news night.
I can see no other reason why he would react in such an extreme way to this subject which he openly admitted he had not researched.
I have not ingested any of the above media list for around four years now and feel so very much better for it.
In a nutshell
The news serves only to influence the way we think (making us believe we have a good understanding of a subject) and is not in any way an accurate reflection of the world. Mainstream media appears to us as a diverse range of options giving us the feeling of choice, but is in fact coming from one centralised and very controlled source. A source which has a big vested interest in controlling the way we think around a plethora of subjects, vaccines being just one.
I tried to explain this to my friend but this only pissed him off even more!
His anger then seemed to extend out towards my two year old son Esteban, speaking to him aggressively, suggesting that he would be punished if he didn’t eat his food when he was told… which wan’t true.
I felt a little sad in that moment, for this subject had suddenly created a rift in the energy between us, potentially forever. I am grateful however that we already had the keys to our new home and we were able to leave the next day.
Them & Us
Ever more conscious I become of this growing divide between them and us. I must hold my hands up to this one and acknowledge that I didn’t have to mention our experience with the doctor. In hindsight I clearly shouldn’t have done it. The world is not as it once was and I must control my desire to excitedly share with everyone the energy of my moment. Selected friends only!
In Conclusion
Be conscious of your media consumption. Is it influencing your behaviour? If so, does your new behaviour feel good to you? Perhaps try some time off from the news and see what happens.
My own experience has been one of vibrational liberation. I understand now the importance of where we are placing our attention in every moment and since removing the horror of the ongoing atrocities around the world from my consciousness I have been able to better attract that which I am seeking.
Opinions will always divide people. Nothing new there.
What is new is my routine!
- 3am wake & write & steemit post
- 5am walk to old house & freeze my arse off getting my internet hit
- 6am leave before he wakes up
This leaves the rest of the day for me to enjoy some quality family time in our new home whilst pushing my body to endure sub zero temperatures at night… which I understand is actually quite good for us!
Happy days :)
Big love from France 🇫🇷
Took this moments ago, 5.40am snow on the ground... feet getting cold now!
