If you don't read this

I have just been looking at the news and over the last few day there have been quite a few
"non- terrorist" events happenings. It seems like the media are building up the suspense and when and if something happens -"well, you were warned".

I have 61 years under my belt. Not saying that this huge amount of time has given me any claim to wisdom because it hasn't - I'm still as mad as a box of frogs as I always have been. If anything I have increased my birthright. But I still have a memory, just, and as the saying goes: I've heard geese fart before.

I am not saying that things won't happen, but in those 61years there has been a constant stream of fear generating stuff that might happen, so much so that you start to wonder.

From big things to little, I know fear helps to sell everything from insurance to deoderant.
" Even your best friend won't tell you." Remember that one?
"God, if I don't buy........ I might stink and not know it 'cos no one will tell me!"

Fear, since time immomorial, has been used to control and coerce. It works well as it is very contagious and after a while it becomes self-perpetuating.

It is so easy to listen to something you would not normaly listen to if you are frightened.
And when I say frightened I don't mean terrified I just mean that low-grade fear, the back ground fear we have learned to live with. Then we listen and if the ground work has all been done well enough, we believe a little and compromise, just for our peace of mind. After all, if you have nothing to hide what does it matter!!!

Of course our leaders and the powers-that-be would never do such a thing, after all we voted them in? What about then: If you don't join our club you can go and stay at Old Harry's for ever- and this is how bad it is. But stick with us and you will be alright. Or even: If you don't use my kind of Reiki you will be missing out on the real thing! Big things or little, fear is a powerful tool. It has even been know for countries to go to war because of it.

It is so very hard not to get drawn into the web of fear and hate. It is so easy when we do to band togethter and blame someone else some other group. To make them the reason stuff is happening. Easy. especial if the propegander is to an extent true even if it has been emgeneed to be that way.

It is so hard to get good unbiased infomation> The internet? A great place to get good information. True and an even better place to promote disinformation. Sorry but you are on your own.

Oh dear me, doom and gloom ...! No it's not. Life is just fine and on the whole safe, it just helps if you have a game plan of your own.

Tomorrow (give or take a bit) I will tell you mine 'cos I just looked at the time and I'm late for lunch and if you know my feeder... you would be frightened too. Control in action.

Just one last thing before I go. Why are you reading this blogg? All I had said was
if you don't read this you will never know... Maybe just a little fear that you might be missing out on something.
