I’m sorry. It was a stupid question. I was just thinking out loud.
If I’m honest, I have a brain injury and I’m very tired and confused by all of this and am obviously just not as capable of taking part in discussions like this, as I thought I was. Someone mentioned Occam’s Razor to me earlier and it’s true that sometimes the simple explanation really is the most probable one. I genuinely was just interested in hearing opinions and I underestimated how suspicious people might be of me asking that question. I didn’t anticipate that and maybe that was naive of me.
In a way, we are all suffering from brain injuries, as we've been fed information that isn't true for our entire human lives, to the point that most have a difficult time discerning the truth from the lies.
There's really only one litmus test for everything: our Creator's Word, beginning with His Law, which defines what is right and wrong in His Eyes. Not the organized religions which only use and abuse His Name, but the actual instructions, guidance and warnings we've been provided, which make it possible to navigate this mine field we call Earth.
EVERYTHING that is happening around us has been prophesied, and is the direct result of our refusal to learn, keep and enforce the
COMMANDments given to us to protect us from all of this evil and to set and keep us free. And before that statement is written off as religious zealotry, it should be noted that fear and faith (trust in our Creator) are polar opposites; i.e. where there is 100% faith there is no fear, and where there is 100% fear there is no faith (or reason and common-sense, which go hand-in-hand with faith).
Fear is a dark, human emotion based on pre-judging what
MAY (or may not) happen. From the film "After Earth" the following quote spoken by Will Smith's character is spot-on.
"
Fear is NOT real. The only place that
fear can exist is in our thoughts of the future. It is a product of our imagination (
Gen. 6:5), causing us to
fear things that do not at present
and may not ever exist. That is near insanity. Do not misunderstand me danger is very
real but
fear is a choice."
The ultimate fear all humans share is the fear of bodily death. That fear is
totally irrational because there are only two possible outcomes:
1) if we are truly spiritual-Beings/Souls (which is what we really are), when the body dies we simply move on, in which case there's nothing to fear; and
2) if we are not spiritual-Beings, but are "only human after all" (which is a lie we've been trained to repeat), then we cease to exist at the death of the human body, so again...what's there to fear?
And yet people spend their entire human existence from start to finish making decisions that are largely predicated upon their totally irrational fear of human death. Just as we are witnessing right now, on a global scale.
You asked me why I was afraid of the truth? I’m not. I just don’t share the same truth as others here.
Is there more than one truth? Or is that yet another lie we've been programmed to accept, so we can continue believing lies are truth and the truth is a lie?
To be perfectly clear, these questions are
NOT being asked to accuse you of lying (which is how the ego/"self" will see it) but to encourage you, and others who may be reading this, to consider these questions very carefully, because they strike at the very core of the question you asked in your OP.
Mark Twain is quoted as having said:
"it's easier to fool someone than to convince someone they've been fooled", The reason that's true is because the ego/"self" will
always do whatever it takes to protect its turf/paradigm (maintain ego boundaries), lest it be forced to face the truth that it's been fooled.
We've all been fooled, or we wouldn't be here. The question is whether we want to continue to be fooled to maintain the illusion (lie) that we were correct (arrogance), or would we rather admit the truth we were wrong (humility) and learn how it happened, so we can avoid being fooled again.
I honestly do appreciate the time you took to engage with me. Thank you.
You're welcome.
The question about Goebbels was stupid. I was just thinking about whether he would have acted the way he did whether he believed his own propaganda or not - whether he just really was not an evil person. You’re right however, it really doesn’t matter what the answer to that question is because he did what he did.
Don't worry about the question. Focus instead on what Goebbels did to deceive the German people into giving up their means of self-defense and supporting Hitler's agenda.
There was the self-inflicted/false flag Reichstag fire, followed almost immediately by the draconian Enabling Papers/Act and the relentless disinformation campaigns/predictive programming, which in turn gave way to the disarming of the German people, culminating in WW2, which killed tens of millions.
This exact methodology was again witnessed in the U.S., when, on 9/11/2001 (11 September 2001) the U.S. carried out its own self-inflicted false flag, followed almost immediately by the first U.S. Patriot Act and a nearly relentless disinformation campaign on an unprecedented scale, which in turn has given way to dozens of attempts to disarm the American people, who are really the last nation on Earth with unfettered access to weapons. Weapons to defend themselves against a tyrannical government.
So if it seems like a waste of time to thoroughly research "conspiracy theories", then please think again, because this too will culminate in a world war. Only this time it will be billions that lose their lives in WW3. Lives that could be saved if only people would get rid of their egos, unite to do what is right in our Creator's Eyes, and help put an end to this injustice and oppresion once and for all.
