Keep Thinking
For a few days during March 2020 I was scared. Then I went online and saw people were talking about elderflower syrup. I ordered a bottle and stored it in my cupboard. My fear subsided. Taking care of our health is empowering. It was a lesson I learnt the hard way after experiencing medical injury back in 2006. I knew I couldn’t trust the medical system to take care of me. I would have to take care of myself.
Fear effects critical thinking. When we are experiencing fear, we are in fight/flight/ freeze mode. All our mental energy is focused on handling the emergency. There is no ability to think outside of the threat.
This is what happened during covid. Months spent being afraid and not having the ability to think. Fear fed through the media, through government speeches and school and work protocols.
But those who weren’t scared were thinking. We were looking at rules like 2 metre distance, and masks in schools and thinking, why? Where is the evidence?
That doesn’t make any of us cleverer than you. It’s just that maybe we already had a bad experience, a trauma, an injury that cut through the narrative like a knife, and taught us not to trust.
Deep down. Everyone was thinking. Deep down, buried in your subconscious, maybe there were some thoughts that something wasn’t quite right.
Next time, please don’t let the fear get to you.
Next time detox from the media, the government, the schools.
Whether it’s wars or rumours of wars, famine, pestilence or earthquakes in various places. Whether it’s grounding all the flights to ‘save the planet,’ confining people to 15 minute neighbourhoods or another disease.
It will happen again. It is written.
Please keep thinking.
It might just be the start of a journey towards truth.
A journey that will save your soul.
It was for me.
