How deep is your faith

                                            How deep is your faith?  

 Faith is a subject that has been on a lot of people's minds and just about how much you have may be the real issue. So, we know what faith is from the last blog so then what are the biggest problems that most of us are having when it comes to belief. This blog may or may not be about spiritual teachings as they apply to faith but to the general awareness that we have for it in our daily lives. The obvious fact that we can only believe only a very small portion of what we hear or see is quite alarming. However, you feel about any subject in this day and age there seems to be a pro and cons to just about everything these days. Many people in the media are pushing propaganda based on previously written source material that supports a certain narrative. These sources commonly cite a peer-reviewed piece and when it is accepted by most of the target demographic then it is certified as a fact. Hence you get fact checkers who routinely use these as proof to debunk a viewpoint that runs contrary to the chosen narrative.   

With so much information routinely hitting you at once you may feel like a stowaway on an ill-fated voyage during a hurricane bouncing back and forth. So, you see the information that we are getting is almost always in complete conflict with what was previously submitted. Then on top of that, we are told that all this information has been verified and is actually facts. Hold up just one minute I am not the easiest nut to crack on things but I kind of like all of the facts laid out neatly for me to go over them. I trust my own personal judgment and that is that. However, I find that whenever you challenge any of the narratives you are told are factual you are often dismissed as a conspiracy theorist and all you want is proof. It is in this quick judgment that my faith that any information can be actually true is fully tested. A society that wishes to think for the individual and routinely dismisses any other thought than that which has been set by the established facilitators of said information must always be challenged. 

Most people whether they have given any thought to this or not are continuously bombarded with pre-approved agenda-based content and information. Something interesting happens within your mind when this happens while your conscious mind is well aware of the propaganda that it is being bathed in your subconscious mind is unaware. When you dream your subconscious mind see's this information as fact, and it adjusts accordingly. So now you have accepted the programming and believe just about anything to be a fact as long as you hear it over and over, without proof of it. Unfortunately, there are not enough people who actually understand how the brain functions and the mind works. So, this creates an obvious conundrum that masks any semblance of truth. I hope that you can understand what I am saying here please if you can't understand a word look it up because the context is very important to this post.

So, the challenge that we are faced with is in having faith that the information is worthy when there is no such evidence to be seen. One of the most interesting aspects of this is the sheer amount of unproven information that is continuously put out. There is no oversight on the information whether it is an opinion or factual, news outlets know this. It is common practice to run a story that will get people talking whether it is based on fact or conjecture doesn't matter. One of the most controversial aspects of all of this is the fact that many news outlets have donors who often have agendas surrounding programming. This creates an internal conflict of interest where the wants of a financial donor are often more important than the truth given to the public. This happens to basically every news agency on the planet their need for funding and survival comes at a high price that these deep-pocket donors can pay for.

Every day that we live on this planet we fight a battle on our actual sanity, beliefs, and our faith. To everyone reading this blog, I want to say thank you. I realize in these turbulent times your faith will be challenged. Your dignity may be tarnished but I need you to know I believe that even in the darkest of nights mortal men and women will rise up and do what is right. You want to know why I believe this although as of late I have no evidence of this. The reason I believe is that I choose to have faith. 

Thank You
