Stop the Self-Deception

It’s hard to see the truth, with all the lies swirling about. And, there seem to be fewer and fewer people that you can trust.

So, how do you get to the truth?

That’s a tough one, especially since your first opponent on the road to truth is yourself. You – yes you – are an incredible obstacle to seeing the truth. This is true for all of us.

The question is…

…Are you willing to let go of yourself, to find something as precious as the truth?

I have to keep telling myself this, which is why I’m telling you.

You will never see the truth, if you keep standing in the way of it.

Last week, I talked about that little lie that leads to genocide. It’s also a lie that we keep telling ourselves. And, it seems to be one of those lies that always leads to more and more trouble.

We keep saying…

“It’s not our fault.”

…when it really is ‘our fault’.

We may stand at the pinnacle of God’s creation, but history shows that we are dumber than a box of rocks AND a bag of hammers. We never learn, and we always blame someone else for why we never learn. Every time God sets us upon the right track we jump right off again.

It doesn’t matter how many miracles God demonstrates…

It doesn’t matter that we have countless examples in history of people doing the same stupid thing that we’re doing…

It doesn’t matter that we have a book with the words of God in it…

…we’ll still act like morons and go off on our own stupid course.

I’m surprised that God hasn’t killed us all off and started over. And, I really don’t know why He hasn’t, other than the fact that He loves us. And no, I don’t understand THAT either.

But, I’m not complaining.

Well, Karen J set me on this course of thinking, when she sent me an email last week. In it was this link:

https://forbiddenknowledgetv.net/qanon-a-mouthy-buddha-project/

Always be careful about someone who gives their website the title of ‘Forbidden Knowledge’. Far too many people ‘go there’, and you don’t want to. Of course, there’s knowledge forbidden by the elites and there’s knowledge forbidden by God. Knowing the difference is important.

And no, the author of this website doesn’t.

And then, there’s the guy who did the video that the link talks about.

Mouthy Buddha?

Seriously?

And, that’s why I originally wasn’t going to listen to it. But, I had some extra time on my hands over the weekend, and Karen is pretty good with the links that she shares. So, I listened.

And here, you can listen to:

QAnon | A Mouthy Buddha Project

YouTube shortlink: https://youtu.be/MYkv-I2LJdo

I know. You might hafta hold your nose to get past the title of the channel. I know that I did. But, the video DOES provide some interesting points about our willingness to believe things that we WANT to believe.

We WANT to believe that QAnon really is Donald Trump, or someone close to him.

We WANT to believe that Donald Trump is going to save America.

We WANT to believe that the future is bright, and there is no need for worry.

We WANT to believe that we are smart and intelligent and can handle the threats that we face.

Of course, none of that is true. Although, the first one MIGHT be true. I could add a lot to that list, but I don’t want to get distracted from the main point of the video:

Self-Deception

The video doesn’t use that phrase, but it’s still the main point. What the video DOES do is give names and titles to a couple different kinds of self-deception. And, here’s a list of a few:

Baader Meinhof phenomenon

Cognitive Bias

Confirmation Bias

Frequency Illusion

That’s just what the video talks about. You’ll find a lot more in this Wikipedia article:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cognitive_biases

Yes, yes I know that Wikipedia is a flawed website. But, every website is flawed, including mine. And, Wikipedia is a good jumping off point in your study of delusion. And, when you go down the list of cognitive biases in this article, you’ll find a lot that will help you describe the insanity around us.

If you want to know why the people working for Twitter and Facebook really believe that they are doing the right thing to suppress your freedom to speak, it’s there.

If you want to know why the Democrats are so hysterical over Donald Trump, it’s there.

If you want to know why this or that delusion is present at this or that location, it’s there.

Of course, the origin of all of this is sin, and Wikipedia doesn’t like to talk about that. So, if you REALLY want to learn about self-delusion, please make sure that you are reading your Bible. The Bible – with the aid of the Holy Spirit – is the best antidote to self-delusion there is. And, I’ve found myself caught in a few of those delusions.

Seriously, that’s one of the reasons why I talk about delusions so much. I’ve been caught, and I don’t want you to be caught. And, I must warn you that I might STILL be caught.

Really, some things aren’t as bad as we think. And, THAT is another side of our propensity to self-delusion. We sometimes go too far the other way.

I just saw this article from Martin Armstrong, and it presents an excellent example of what I’m talking about:

Attributing All-Powerful Ability to CIA is not Warranted

https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/international-news/politics/attributing-all-powerful-ability-to-cia-is-not-warranted/

Does the CIA do some pretty awful things?

Yeah. But, they have limits. Lots of them.

I’ve made countless observations about Mossad and the time that I spent observing the CFR. Both of those organizations are extremely limited, but that thought doesn’t stop the hysteria that surrounds them.

Please remember my obsession with the Flat Earthers. I always talk about them because they represent a kind of delusion that we all are in danger of falling into. I call it the Flat Earth Mentality, and I see it everywhere.

No, not everyone is a Flat Earther. I’m not saying that. What I’m saying is that there are people who have picked up an idea, wrapped a conspiracy theory around it, and then turned it into a movement.

The latest example of this comes from an Omega Shock reader who claims that black Africans are the true Israelites of the Old Testament. And, he wrote to me recently talking about having moved his family to Angola of all places – claiming that they are the tribe of Ephraim. And no, don’t laugh at him.

He got caught in a lie that was specifically tailored for those like him. And, I can tell you that there are lies with YOUR name on them, just waiting for you to claim them for your own.

Please, stop the self-deception.

Death lies at that door.
