In this day and age we are constantly bombarded with Internet memes, pictures, videos, sound bytes etc.. We function at a level that is reactionary. See something react. Hear something react. We become walking expressions of the things we see around us. We are like sponges, absorbing everything we come close to.
Society is being dumbed down through a constant bombardment of stimulation. We are always being stimulated through some source. Stimulation isn't inherently evil. Nothing is inherently bad. What happens is we become unconscious of the content we consume. We don't realize how deeply we are affected by constant outside stimulation.
So many of us are unoriginal even though deep down, each of us has a unique expression of source, of the divine, of God. Really truly, each human is unique in some way. Yes, we are all human and we all have similar ways of functioning, but every single person is different in some way, shape or form. This has been taken away from us and one of the ways it has been done is through the internet.
It is sad to see us regurgitating memes without realizing it. This is what it means to think for yourself. Realization. It is using the power of awareness. Using the knowledge that we are constantly being fed information without our consent. This knowledge can be turned into the wisdom of what to do with this constant bombardment. To think before reacting, and to become conscious of what is being put into our brains.
A lot of things in life boil down to awareness. Being aware of what we are doing is one of the most powerful things we can do for ourselves. Instead of becoming robots, we take back our individuality and express our own unique part of the divine to share with the rest of the world. Humanity would be in a much different place if we were able to be aware of all of the things that are harming us. But unfortunately we have to make mistakes to learn, a lot of the time.
Watch and observe your thoughts. Practice this. Meditate. Sit and follow your breath. Take time away from your phone, screens, electronics. On the surface, society is stupid. Dumbed down. Shells. Don't let it happen to you. We need to take back our originality.
Thanks for reading, more to come in this series :)
