Even though every arrow seems to be pointed and ready to fire remember that you do not give your enemy advance notice of your attack.
It will happen when it happens, do not be discouraged.

I was reading about mass psychology (and mass psychosis) and how they manipulate via increasing waves and lulls, to give more effect, rather than an unrelenting onslaught.

To undo the mass manipulation, I'd expect the same tactics to be necessary. Hence the build-ups then the small reveal then subsiding... Need to break down the resistance til they're ready to hear.

I think this infomercial styled presentation covered it. Hate the style, but the message seems accurate

I often watch the Academy, good knowledge there. While this is valid they fail to mention that time heals all wounds. I believe time is what will be needed for us.

I was mainly referring to the ebb and flow... the build-up and let down.
I have a tendency to rebel and get irritable when I know I'm being manipulated, especially when someone plays on my emotions. I've learned to control them over the years, while still feeling them deeply. It can be painful. Right now, it's frustrating to watch this play out, knowing how many people are being hurt. I still monitor MSM to understand what they are feeding people - and while there are glimmers of truth, it's still 99% lies.

I try and gently spread truth, while keeping my more unique perspectives of possibilities to myself. I can't prove them, as they are intuition based, and I don't see how they'd affect how we should take action right now, so the only reason to discuss would be ego. There's enough confusion out there now.

Truth will be revealed over time and will become plain. It will set us free. That's the start to real healing. Accepting the past for what it is, moving on.

What you say is very true. I was just in a conversation on twitter that was a result of what you state here. People need to have stability if not they will grab at anything to get it. They need to feel in control of their lives and when that doesn't happen they will lash out to try and make sense of the chaos. I myself have done and still do just that.
I have to calm myself and put my faith back into play. I must remind myself I can only control me and this moment, nothing more. I trust that the Lord is in command and even though I may not see his way I know it is the correct one. It brings me peace. It brings me hope and it brings me love. The pain evaporates.

As for your thoughts of events always trust your gut, there are many scenarios that are playing out and it is perfectly plausible that everyone is right in someway and wrong in others.
Right or wrong we will all gather at the river when the time comes.
I am sure I will see you there.

I'm living in the present. The future is not mine to see. Only faith can carry me there.

As to what is happening, it's not too bad to control when online. I have time to think things through without anyone jumping on me because the expression on my face gave something away. I focus on logic and reason, yet accept that I need to juggle multiple possible explanations. Not going to let myself jump from one lie to the next.
I'm working on re-learning history and setting aside any previous judgments or biases, mostly based on lies.

It's weird. I find myself trusting almost no one, even while I have faith in man's fundamental goodness. I suck at judging people I've never gotten to know in person. Wish I was better at seeing, but maybe it's because I keep choosing to hope they will live up to their potential. I've been pretty happy overall, and in real life, giving folks a chance has paid off far more often than when I've been disappointed.
Attitude is everything?

Stay exactly as you are. God gave us empathy and suspicion for a reason, maybe this reason. I do not remember who said it but I think the quote is something like "I am the smartest many in the world because I know I know nothing." If you are following the truth it will always lead you to where you need to be. It seems that you are doing just that. I pose questions to generate thought, I post proofs on what I know to be true. Many things are based on my own experiences, I know the nastiness the world hides, not all of it but much more than anyone should have to. I have been witness to many failed attempts at things man should not delve in but never stops trying. I want a better world but I am not sure I want to see the cost paid to get it. So I hope there are ways to get there in ways we as a whole discover and are not lead to by anyone but God.
We all have our own truths so may God bless you while you find yours.
