Everything is an illusion

in #truth6 years ago (edited)

Ever since I started my journey of "waking up" I have been doing my best to unlearn everything I know and re-learn the truths about life, it has been a challenge to say the least. I often struggle with my old beliefs, especially when around family. It is hard to tell them how they are being deceived and they don't realize. But I find myself saying the same things over and over to try to get them to see all the lies around us.

Let's start with fast food, everyone knows that it is terrible for you, but they all put out commercials trying to sell you on healthy their food is! When the truth is that it makes people extremely sick and unhealthy. Its all an illusion.

Even most of the "food" in grocery stores is unhealthy for you. Anything in a box or shiny wrapper is not really food at all. Real food doesn't have a long shelf life but most everything at the grocery store has months or years before the item goes bad, that's not food at all. Nearly everything has corn syrup in it now which is crazy unhealthy. Soda and energy drinks should have poison warning labels on them from the insane amount of fake sugar in them, it is making people overweight and unhealthy but they are being sold as if they give you energy and make you feel great! Its all an illusion..

You think you have control of your money? Wrong! If you use a bank or a debit/credit card at all, you have no control of your funds. They can freeze your accounts, shut off your cards for no reason at all and there is nothing you can do about it. You even have to pay an ATM fee to get your own money, but you better not want more that $200 maybe $300 or else you need to pay another fee to have more of your own money! Sure you could drive to their bank, during their hours and ask their permission to get your money out but does that mean you have control? No. Try taking out a large amount of your own money ($10,000 or more) and see how easy that is, you won't enjoy that day at all. Seems like every thing is on their terms? Oh yeah, because it is! It's all an illusion...

We are prescribed pills by the handful from childhood on up that are suppose to "make us better" when all they really do is make us more sick. The side effects of most "medications" are worse then the problems they are suppose to correct. Hospitals and doctors don't really cure people anymore, they only cover up the symptoms at best. You have a stomach problems, they prescribe you a medication that gives you the illusion you are better, they never find the initial problem. You are "cured" as long as you take that pill, how convenient for big pharma. You have migraines? Instead of finding the reason you have migraines they give you a pill to cover it up. They aren't solving anything, it's all an illusion!

They tell you that fluoride in your water and tooth paste is good for you, but how is it possible when it is extremely poisonous?

Fluoride is one of the most toxic substances known to man, yet based on its inclusion in virtually every brand of toothpaste, the American Dental Association believes it’s okay to use fluoride for preventative dental care. Other products, such as bottled water, infant formulas, and even vitamin supplements, now contain fluoride!
In 2002, nearly 90% of the U.S. population was supplied water via public water systems, and around 67% of that number received fluoridated water. This occurred in spite of the fact, “No statistically significant differences were found in the decay rates of permanent teeth or the percentages of decay-free children in the fluoridated, non-fluoridated, and partially fluoridated areas.”
Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) typically label sodium fluoride as “…toxic by ingestion, inhalation and skin contact” and that PPE (personal protection equipment) for handling should include safety glasses and gloves. Fluorides are more toxic than lead and only slightly less poisonous than arsenic… and these toxins can enter your body from brushing your teeth or rinsing with many popular dental care products!

They used flouride in Nazi Germany death camps to calm the masses (don't believe me, look it up), now they are using it on Americans while telling them it is good for our health!?!? ITS A HEAVY METAL, there is no possible way for it to be healthy! It's all an illusion!!

You think you own things like houses and cars but this is just an illusion. If you have a loan payment of any sort you definitely don't own it at all. Don't believe me, stop making that payment for a few months and see how long you get to keep "your home." Try not paying for property taxes or refuse to use city water or sewer and see what happens, it doesn't even matter if your mortgage is paid off, they will take that house from you and there is nothing you can do about it. It's all an illusion

Same with your vehicle, try not paying your car loan or even if it's paid off don't pay to register it, don't get insurance or don't get a drivers licences and see how long you get to keep that vehicle. Can you see the illusion? You are aloud to have these things as long as you follow their rules, at any time they can take everything away through you in jail for whatever reason they make up and you can't do anything about it. Because you truly own nothing and have no rights! Its all an illusion

Are you starting to see whats going on? Everything that you have that makes you feel safe, secure and comfortable is all an illusion! They can all be taken away at any moment. They want you to think you have all these things so you don't walk away from the system. This is the matrix (if you will) you are stuck in. The cage of lies. The illusion

We have all become slaves and sadly enough our own slave drivers in this brilliant set up of debt and government. Their trick is they have to keep us playing by their rules! But we don't have to, the 99% really do have the power, we just need to learn to work together. If we all choose to see the truth then their system falls apart. Stop living in this cage of illusions, its time to "WAKE UP"!

@moderndayhippie what you just posted is more or less the truth as plain as it can be said. All these problems are a result of a centralized system, as I have been trying to communicate with as many people as much as I can.

To put plainly, there is nothing out of this current centralized system, that we as people have, can do anything about to rid ourselves from this injustice other than adopting a decentralized way of doing things.

The very fabric of our existence is been controlled by a minority and revolves a round a pyramid monetary system, that only encourages greed and encourages us to compete against each other, with work and almost everything we need to sustain ourselves. That is the plain truth.

Therefore, my view on crypto currencies is that, it is more or less our door way to decentralized this "centralized" power structures that exist, that aren't doing us any good as you've greatly articulated in your post. This is our time to decided the faith of our children, and in generations to come, whether to continue being enslaved in this fraudulent system, or we take the decentralized route and rebuild a new future where all this things will eventually become our past.

Do your part by spreading awareness on the benefits of crypto currencies or more explicitly a decentralized way of doing things. Make it your business to rid this world of the 'illusion' that haunts us.

For a better tomorrow for our children and grandchildren!

Greed and competition against each other is the way the game works. (I'm not talking about greed as a disease). Our egos which is IMHO the only true illusion has pushed men to create war and sacrifice children but also nonetheless making us being able to walk on moon, build pyramids, library and the internet.

I would say that things are ALWAYS a shade of grey, from nothing to everything including foods and products.

Competition is bad as its become about the win..No more animals to compete with over food, territory, on earth we killed, tamed and conquered them - so now in mass numbers we compete with each other (not for fun, but get up one on the food chain or money/fame train take your pick)..doesn't feel enlightened eh

..err so, how do i get more upvotes then you hehe..

Right!!! Did we just become best friends!?!? Haha.. love the way u think..

That is incredible. I never thought about creating competition because we are out of things to compete for.

Typping this in a hurry as have to go serve the invisible overlords...but Yeah it makes sense to a certain degree (humans are naturally competing with each other over needs) - evolution theory suggests creatures develop aspects for competitive advantage, driven by needs. Basic needs, are breathe, drink, sunlight, reproduce, food, water. We evolve to reach the taller trees to survive and get the tastier treats, the strongest male in the pack gets to breed to win over competing animals. We run to the food bowl and eat the tastier snacks before the other dogs get there. If we take the view humans competitive advantage is intelligence..and with this we produced tools. There are very few animals on the planet that destroy their own habbitat in order to thrive...then the only means to continue living, is to move on and allow nature to recover. With the large volume of humans on the planet, with our wants now becoming needs (in our minds - it's an illusion by the way), electricity, money, mugachinno's, beers, a car..We are at break point. There are too many of us to move on, nature cannot recover now..Hence why intelligent scientist who helped to create the new human needs (which are now part of the control mechanisms of the system) are the first to say for humans to survive we must colonize a new planet soon.

Sorry must run :) but good to share thoughts

Competition is about to make us more human than human. Colonise space and expand awareness and spiritual powers along with pushing forward technologies so we need to compete. It is the very purpose of good and bad at the highest level of the univers.

Competition makes sense in context of animals in the wild imho...I'd like to think we're more intelligent than that. ;)

Most humans are apes with unused capacities.
We only use our capacities when we need to as we are lazy by design.

Wow! yes, you nailed it right on the head with this comment! I couldn't agree more..

..But if your not using cash in a centralised system your a criminal! that's what an article said I read from a respectable bank today after I did a google search.."is crypo a scam"". I mean a bank wouldn't lie (warning - sarcasm is in use)

Some serious truths being told in this post! Same for the American political scene...two parties only give us an illusion of choice but those two doors lead to the same slaughter house.

oh, good one bro! There are really to many to name, I honestly couldve gone all day with examples but the post was getting long already. I was just hoping to start some good conversations and maybe help some people see what the hell is really going on here..

I wonder who could be behind all of these shady things? If we could just figure that out!

That is an incredibly hard question to answer. Definitely can be answered tho if you look far enough into it. I don't have time to explain it but mostly corporations like pharmaceutical companies and extremely rich and powerful people. But also governments, government agencies like cia and other highly classified organizations like that..

Not sure there is someone behind it. We are all behind it. The human condition. Someone had an idea and ran with it and no one opposed it. So now days there isn't even such aggrrssive moves to lie to people but so little opposition that they do what they want.

I've been saying these exact same things for years, to tell you how long it has been I had to look the information up at the public library, the internet wasn't even around back then.
Just to add to your list, you might want to throw in our justice system, which is anything but justice.
Keep preaching and question everything for sure.

Damn, Respect on that dedication! I don't know if I would have had the patience for that to be honest lol. Im still trying to figure out how use the dewy decimal system!?!! HAHA

Oh yeah, how could I forget about the shitty justice system!?!? I might have to do a part 2 to this post some time in the future because there have been a lot of good ones I missed.
Hell yeah question everything!

I had the benefit of my dad telling me some of this while he was alive, never really paid much attention to it until after he passed, but his words kind of haunted me to the point I needed to research it on my own, and I will be damned if he wasn't right on several of the things he said.
Maybe some day my boys will believe me on what I am telling them now.

It's all true. Everything is an illusion. Working all day, everyday. You don't own anything, not even your own body. Your kids are not your kids, you made them, the government owes them. The only way to come even close to an escape from the illusion is becoming a part of it. Try your chance in politics, sell your soul for a small piece of freedom by creating some more illusions for the rest of us.

I don't think you can beat them at their own game so participating in government won't change anything, its too far gone. However, I do think blockchain can help solve a lot of problems. The people just have to come together and demand that we find a new way..

Great perspective! We are about 8 years into uncovering the lies. You are right, the hardest part for us is talking with family that are absolutely blinded.

With 8 years under ur belt im sure u could even teach me a thing or two! Lol.. glad u stumbled on my page, sounds like we have a lot in common! following

I bet we do! The world is an amazing place, and it seems like only the bad stuff is what gets noticed.

Yup. That about sums it all up.

They can freeze your accounts, shut off your cards for no reason at all and there is nothing you can do about it.

Why do we put ourselve in this position? Because we are told we have to. Answer? Everytime you receive payment, ask "May I have this in bitcoin?". Everytime you go to the grocery store, ask "Do you accept Bitcoin?".

I don't even own any bitcoin, but that's the one everyone's heard of. If we want to get from undernieth the thumb of the banks, alternative currencies must become further legitimized.

@ironshield

Your absolutely right, we shouldn't just take the banks crap. If we (the people) want something to change in our favor than it is up to us to keep pushing that idea forward. Like asking companies for alternative payment options. I think if amazon (or other huge corportaions) do what they are talking about and start accepting litecoin (or any crypto), this whole maret would take off because everyone will see cryptos as legitimate not just some "fake internet money"

A-fucking-men

Wow very well put. The food thing always makes me so angry too. Unless you're growing it and making it yourself you have no idea what crap they add to it and don't even get me started on doctors, the whole situation is upsetting.

Yeah the food thing definitely is hard for me. We even have to check labels at the organic store!?! So much illusion there. As far as doctors go, yeah, i couldn't go any further into that because it is a whole article in itself... truly disgusting!

I drive myself crazy checking labels. Plus here in South Africa buying organic is still very pricey and difficult to purchase. Luckily it's gaining massive support and becoming more accessible

I find it crazy that it is hard to buy real food!?!? It drives me insane! It is much more expensive here too, but my health is worth whatever it costs. 😉
