Induction by Confusion—The Sequel

Hypnotized into the matrix of lies and propaganda

We seem to be in the repetition of a cycle that started in January 2020, though the underlying themes are perhaps as old as time. Things are escalating quickly now.

On January 3, 2020, the US military took out Soleimani—an Iranian general and the second most powerful person in Iran—while he was in Iraq on a diplomatic visit. He was considered the architect of Iran’s foreign policy in the Middle East.

US Department of Defense

Several days after the assassination, Operation Martyr Soleimani carried out the “largest ballistic missile attack ever against Americans” at a US airbase in Iraq. It was part of the “13 revenge scenarios” that Iran’s national security council announced in the wake of the assassination of Soleimani, which was promised to be a “historic nightmare” for the US.

A few hours after the missile attack, a Ukrainian civilian plane was shot down in Tehran on the way to Kiev, killing everyone on board. Initially, there was a lot of confusion.

In the fog of war, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps allegedly shot it down on accident, mistaking the plane for a US missile retaliation. Certainly there were heightened emotions at the time, and that’s not usually a good recipe for making sound decisions. It’s an interesting coincidence that the flight was destined for Ukraine, which would become center stage a couple years later.

So that’s how the year 2020—and the decade of the 2020s—kicked off.

Shortly after that—in the early days of the “novel coronavirus”—the same patterns appeared that are recurring now with the global war propaganda amidst the atrocities taking place in Israel and Gaza.

We are in the middle of a hypnotic induction by confusion.

Much like during the genesis of the COVID atrocity propaganda, many people are now in a triggered, hyper-reactive, adolescent state of black-and-white thinking. This is a defense mechanism.

When people are terrified that other people are dying (especially their people, which evokes the fear of one’s own mortality), the neurological response to the fear of death can be so overpowering that people can’t access higher states of consciousness and nuanced thinking. The primary concern becomes self-preservation.

That’s when a person can get easily seduced by the desire of wrath—becoming a captivated prisoner to their hatred of the enemy. By dehumanizing the enemy, it becomes easy to justify, or even beg for, heinous and inhumane acts to be carried out against others for people to make themselves feel safer.

Couples therapist, Terry Real, teaches about the three parts of the human psyche (the wounded child, the adaptive child and the functional adult) to help people understand the effects of trauma upon our ability to relate with others.

The adaptive child (an older child / adolescent) reacts to the aggressor and also sometimes identifies with the aggressor. That’s when people can behave like the perpetrator. This desire for retaliation, which is a false sense of justice, will not lead to peace or healthy relationships. It often leads to death and destruction—starting with the self.

We saw this theme with COVID. Innocent people died and a lot of inhumane, tyrannical measures were taken by governments, organizations and corporations to make people feel safe while they were being traumatized with fear propaganda and watching others suffer or die. The media covered up the crimes, pushed the atrocity propaganda 24/7, disseminating a mostly false narrative with bits of truth sprinkled in. People who challenged the narrative were smeared, censored and dehumanized.

Some people threatened others due to their own fear, enabling the tyranny because it made them feel safer. If only they had listened to the warnings that others were trying to give them. Many people and their children have been harmed or killed by the injections that they believed would be the path of hope, health and safety.

It can be true that innocent people are dying AND there is something off about what’s happening. This requires nuanced thinking and a functional adult perspective.

In the absence of functional adult thinking, we are triggered, reactive and unable to make sense of things, becoming easily lulled into another hypnotic confusion induction.

Do we realize the gravity of the situation that is in front of us now with a potential global kinetic war escalating?

Are we remembering our humanity amidst the intense psychological warfare?

What did we learn during the last three plus years about the media, the narrative, governments, corporations, global organizations and human nature?

This time—instead of a global pandemic—the focus is a global war. Though who knows, maybe the next plague will come about through the war. The psychological and biological aspects of the global war started in 2020 and we are now seeing what appears to be the start of the kinetic phase of the war.

David Palmer, an astrologer who goes by the name Leo King, has been showing the similar transits of the time we are in now with several past wars, the witch hunts as well as the plagues of 541 and 1345. He mentioned in his recent event, Battle of the Gods II: Red Alert, that Operation Warp Speed was a military operation started in 2020 and that perhaps what we are seeing now could be where all of that was heading. In Palmer’s New Years Eve 2023 event, he said that 2023 would be the year the Great War starts and that in the next two years, half the world’s population will disappear.

The 2025 Deagel (part of the greater US intelligence web) forecast shows a massive reduction in the population of several countries around the world. That would be a historic nightmare. What could cause such an anomaly?

Is Deagel's 2025 Depopulation Forecast Coming True?

In the last few years, I’ve spoken about the hypnotic induction by confusion that took place during COVID. The following contains some excerpts from that content combined with current observations. By examining the patterns recurring now, we can perhaps avoid falling into the familiar traps that are laid out for us with emotional bait.

The Confusion Induction

In 2020, I started asking people: Have you been noticing that nothing makes sense with the story we are being told? 

We are being lulled into a hypnotic trance induced by confusion.

The confusion induction is a long-known technique of hypnosis. 

Milton Erickson came up with it. It’s used by the hypnotist or hypnotherapist when the client has a particularly strong analytical mind that is resistant to letting go and allowing access to the subconscious through the simpler hypnotic induction techniques. 

The confusion induction can be done by many methods. Some of them are: 

• speaking nonsense (word salad)

• a bombardment of information

• mixed messages and things that don’t make sense

• doublespeak or double binds

• directing the client’s hand in one direction and their eyes in the opposite direction over and over again, then suddenly “shocking” them into trance by stopping and saying “sleep now"

In the confusion induction, the client's critical-thinking and analytical mind get overwhelmed by the bombardment of stimuli, nonsensical or opposing information, so it short circuits, lets go of control, shuts down, and the hypnotic state can be induced. 

This very tactic is being used against us right now.

Does part of you, somewhere deep inside, have a gnawing feeling that’s questioning what's really going on? 

Do you notice how similar it is to the state of cognitive dissonance that you can get stuck in during an abusive relationship?

Cognitive dissonance is the disorienting confusion that is caused by going back and forth between two opposing ideas—denial and lucidity, illusion and truth, distortion and reality. 

Cognitive dissonance is the stressful conflict that happens when you hold a certain belief so strongly such that when contrary evidence shows up, you simply can’t look at it. Your mind will work overtime trying to block out the opposing information. 

This inner conflict causes so much anxiety that it’s like triggering a short circuit in the brain.

That allows the mind to go back into denial in order to protect itself from feelings of fear, insecurity, helplessness and defenselessness. 

Cognitive dissonance causes scrambled brains. In addition to denial and confusion, it will cause brain fog and disorientation. 

When you are in such a state, you can be easily manipulated. 

Once the confusion technique is used and you have been led into a hypnotic trance, your subconscious mind becomes highly suggestible. 

What we’ve experienced thus far in 2020 has just been the hypnotic induction into whatever is next. 

This is psychological warfare. 

The confusion induction is just the introduction into whatever happens next.

A couple years later, on Substack, I wrote about The Hypnotic Trance of the 2020s:

What we experienced in 2020 was just the hypnotic induction into what started unfolding in 2021. Now in early 2022, the narrative is becoming a new species of Theatre of the Absurd in order to keep covering the truth.

In 2022 and continuing through most of 2023, many people seemingly forgot about what happened. They so badly wanted to go back to normal, that they buried it all or let it slide into oblivion like a distant dream.

But it did happen. And it was clear that it would happen again. Because this is the nature of the abuse cycle. It just keeps repeating the same loop on ever-escalating octaves until we opt out.

We had a relative period of calm for the last year and a half or so, even though the war in Ukraine was being waged. We were In A Time of Perceived Normality. Of course, evidence kept coming out and pieces of the Big Picture have been fitting together. Yet all of that was ignored or not even seen by most of society. It was like nothing happened.

That level of denial of reality is both dangerous and deleterious to the mental, emotional and physical health of people and society. Things will continue to get worse until more people wake up and take a stand.

On September 18th, 2023, the US national debt hit $33 trillion. That number was a signal.

Next, the government threatened to shut down, though not a first. Amidst that weeks-long theatrical performance, on September 30th, one Congressman pulled a fire alarm that stalled a vote, when he “mistakingly thought” that pulling the fire alarm would open a locked door. The government stayed open with a 45-day extension, a temporary fix.

Then on October 3rd, the Speaker of the House was removed for the first time in US history. This is no small thing. That role is second in line to be President, coming just after the Vice President, in the US presidential line of succession.

On October 4th, the US did the first ever wireless emergency broadcast to cellphones as well as TVs and radio. That same day, Russia did a nuclear siren test.

Three days later, on October 7th, we turned another corner in the abuse cycle—now back into the chaos after the Hamas terrorist attack in Israel.

This time, the globalists will need to scare people much more than the last. We are already seeing Signs of Coercive Control in order to get our consent and have us begging for the solution. I wrote about this a month ago.

Most people are done with the COVID fear campaign, so I think the only way they can carry out the next steps [of Agenda 2030] would be to utterly terrify people with something new and unknown, and potentially far more dangerous. Then offer perceived acts of kindness, and many people will be right back in the State of Captivity, AKA Stockholm Syndrome.

John Kirby, Strategic Communications Coordinator of the National Security Council in the White House this week warned us, while simultaneously manufacturing our consent for the harm of innocent civilians.

“This is war. It is combat. It is bloody and it’s going to be messy. Innocent civilians are going to be hurt going forward.”

They’re telling us that their war is more important than the wellbeing of people—not that this should be a surprise, but it’s interesting when they tell you exactly what they’re doing.

The Speaker of the House position was finally filled yesterday, on October 25th. The very first order of business of the new Speaker, Mike Johnson, was to push forward the war in Israel. “We are going to stand for the good in that conflict,” he said.

Ostensibly, it sounds great to stand for the good in any conflict. However, we ought to look deeper to identify the doublespeak.

This is the kind of gesture that warmongers would make before harming innocent people—and justifying the “collateral damage” as necessary—in the quest to eradicate evil terrorism. We’ve been in a war on terrorism since the 9/11 aftermath, and there are a lot more questions than answers about what happened that day.

Several years later, Obama was given the Nobel Peace Prize before launching a bunch of new wars, then going out with a bang in his 2016 Grand Finale, dropping 26,000 bombs in one year—killing plenty of innocent people who were collectively punished for the sins of their leaders or neighbors. Of course, hypocritical Obama is now warning that Israel’s military strategy could backfire if it ignores the human costs of the war. Again, the words sound nice and true. But what do they really mean?

Be vigilant of your mind and own your reality lest the snake-tongued confuse you into supporting their anti-human agenda of war and genocide.

In Outwitting the Devil (written in 1938 and published in 2011), Napoleon Hill has an imaginary conversation with the devil in which he reveals how he takes over the minds of people:

One of my most effective tricks is known to you as propaganda. This is the instrument of greatest value to me in setting people to murdering one another under the guise of war.

The cleverness of this trick consists mainly of the subtlety with which I use it.

I mix propaganda with the news of the world. I have taught it in public and private schools. I see that it finds its way into the pulpit. I color moving pictures with it. I see that it enters every home where there is a radio. I inject it into billboard, newspaper and radio advertising. I spread it in every place of business where people work. I use it to fill the divorce courts and I make it serve to destroy business and industry.

It is my chief instrument for starting runs on banks. My propagandists cover the world so thoroughly that I can start epidemics of disease, turn loose the dogs of war, or throw business into a panic at will."

The devil goes on to define propaganda and how he does it:

Propaganda is any device, plan or method by which people can be influenced without knowing that they are being influenced, or the source of the influence.

I am the world's greatest propagandist! I never attain an end by direct, open means which I can achieve through subterfuge and subtlety. What do you suppose I am using when I plant negative ideas in the minds of men and gain control of them through what they believe to be their own ideas? What would you call that except the cleverest of all forms of propaganda?

The war propaganda, from all sides, is off the charts now. Many people have been infected by the contagion of wrath. In their emotionally inebriated state, they do not understand the potential consequences of escalating a global war response to the terror attacks in Israel on October 7th.

In a nuanced perspective, one can both acknowledge the egregious atrocities that were committed by the terrorists AND recognize that the wrathful retaliation is a very dangerous and destructive path for humanity.

Where does it go from here?

The pattern starts with chaos, fear bombardment and promises that they just want you to be safe.

Soon we will be hearing more talk about how much they care and want to protect you. When this language starts, beware that whatever solution they’re offering is likely not for your benefit. It may temporarily assuage your anxiety but will come with a big price.

In 2020, they even signed the so-called CARES Act here in the American Congress, but those people don’t care about us peasants. $2.2 trillion dollars of debt or “aid”. Congress had no problem promoting the very protocols that were terrorizing, harming and killing innocent people during COVID with PCR fraud, medical malpractice, toxic Remdesivir and poison shots, plus the harmful effects of social isolation, which were already known in science, which is something they claim to believe so much in. They’re still doubling down, covering up the harm and deaths of innocent people like it never happened. They’re not owning any accountability, even now that so much of the truth comes out.

The US government cares so much about its citizens currently in Israel, that it’s offering Americans flights to Greece, Germany or Cypress, which is not even home! In order to get government-assisted charters out of the war zone, there’s one condition—US citizens must sign a promissory note prior to departure, agreeing to pay back the government within 30 days. It’s been a US policy for many decades now, so that’s not new, though in the past the government has often forgone those fees.

Meanwhile, President Biden announced last week during his primetime address that he wants another $100 billion for the war effort in Israel and Ukraine—paid for by American taxpayers. Allegedly part of that money will go to border security. Let’s see what that really means. The US border is, and has been, unsecured, allowing in thousands of illegal migrants daily (are any of these terrorists, by the way?), who are provided with transportation, food, housing, medical and other costs—again paid for by American taxpayers.

America’s government is as caring about its own citizens as a narcissistic mother who makes all kinds of food for other families in need but leaves her own family to fend for themselves.

You might wonder, why do so many people still believe they care when their actions are so clearly hypocritical? It’s the fantasy that’s so hard to kill. Most people want to believe their narcissistic mommy really does love them, just as they want to believe their daddy government actually cares.

They made lots of false promises during COVID. “Safe and effective,” they said, which was the biggest deception of them all. Then they said people needed a booster. And then another . . . this time it will work, they say every time.

Millions of people were harmed or killed by those injections. Thankfully, less than 2% of Americans wanted the Version 2023. This downtick in product consumption makes for desperate criminal corporations who want their money.

Just when it seemed the insanity of the last three years was ending, another global chaos and mass fear erupted—leaving many people instantly stoked with wrath and hatred, so certain of their perception of reality, and ready to destroy one another.

Some of the people now calling for genocide were prominent voices in the medical freedom movement during the last few years when they claimed to be against the genocide taking place.

We have been exposed relentlessly to emotionally-provoking images and stories of events that can trigger a barrage of feelings such as fear, doubt, hatred, empathy, vicarious suffering, false guilt, exhaustion, apathy and a sense of paralysis.⁣ This informational and emotional overload causes confusion and brain fog.

Fear and hatred then becomes fuel—an emotional and energetic supply source—as the vampiric entities drain our life force energy and use it to manufacture more war and chaos.⁣

Did you notice how the spiritual warfare fear campaign intensified in your personal life just a few weeks before the war?

Did you also notice the timing of the national emergency broadcast in America and the nuclear siren drill in Russia just three days before the war started?

It’s hard to get clarity when you’ve been inducted by confusion into a hypnotic trance.

Abusers often lure victims into their trance by confusion.⁣ Confusion is a spiritual and psychological warfare tactic.

In society and relationships, the shock of informational bombardment and emotional provocation through imagery or direct experience also creates confusion.

Perpetrators will engineer chaotic situations, provoke fear, disrupt communications, cause confusion between people and also within the individual. People will turn on one another and even betray themselves and their core values.

The chaos will cause misunderstandings, anger, suppression, silencing, blocking, sabotaging, triangulation, divide and conquer, and other distractions so that the focus is anywhere but on the perpetrators.

They will also disrupt the connection you have with your inner self and with God.

This will make you feel isolated, alone, and more confused.

When you're in a brain fog, you won’t be able to think clearly. Thinking feels heavy, like a drag. So it's easier just to follow the herd, even when they're marching straight for the slaughterhouse. It becomes difficult and painful to think for yourself and go your own way.⁣

It's scary to be left alone. If you lean toward independent thinking, you might have a fear of losing the protection of the herd when you don’t go 100% along with the current or pick a side and fully subscribe to all its talking points.

People take sides—of seeming opposites—yet they’re both part of the same whole. These sides and seemingly opposite stances are created by the philanthropaths in order to divide and conquer the people. Will we ever learn this lesson?

If you present a third (and perhaps more humanitarian) perspective, both sides will often accuse you of minimizing the suffering and deaths of innocent people on their side only. This is a sign of black-and-white (all or nothing) thinking.

When the black-and-white thinking shows up, it’s a sign that we are triggered into an adolescent type of awareness. In that state, we’re likely responding in the same way we learned to survive and adapt to our childhood traumas—going into one or more of the defensive states: fight, flight, freeze or fawn.

In a triggered state, you might rely on an authority figure or group to tell you who you are and what to do because it feels safer than being alone.

You might believe the perpetrators’ promises of virtue, safety and security because this temporarily relieves the overwhelming anxiety and fear.

These intermittent perceived acts of kindness also activate the dopamine reward circuit of pleasure. In such a state, you can feel motivated and willing to give up nearly everything that matters for those feel-good promises and fantasies.⁣ That’s exactly where the perpetrators want you.

The intermittent reinforcement of love-bombing and devaluation is part of creating confusion and it’s what makes you keep investing in something that you know is not healthy for you.

The jarring nature of the 180 degree flip-flopping of what they said or did yesterday vs. today also creates a sense of confusion. In a prolonged state of confusion, your sense of reality becomes unstable and you don’t know what to believe.

“Masks don’t work, leave them for medical personnel . . . Masks are essential and if you don’t wear one, you’re going to kill someone’s grandma . . . You should really wear two masks!”

“It was Israel who bombed the hospital and killed hundreds of people . . . No, it was a missile from Hamas . . . The hospital is still standing and we don’t know how many people died.”

What really happened at that hospital? This is not clear yet. What is clear is that this incident was a turning point in the war. It stirred a lot of emotions, whether those emotional reactions are based in reality or not.

After the confusion induction, the censorship starts.

Once people have been traumatized into a state of confusion and disorientation, the information control begins to tighten its noose. By this point, many people might be relieved just to be told what to think so they can end the mental torment of not knowing what to believe.

Information control is reality control. Reality is being curated.

In order to successfully carry out the three main spiritual warfare tactics—deception, temptation and false accusations—the evil forces must disturb the communication.

This is why we saw so much information control since 2020 and the continued doubling down on COVID lies, even now after so much evidence of harm has come out.

In January 2023 at Davos, there was a panel on The Clear & Present Danger of Disinformation in which they discussed, “how much the information ecosystem has been poisoned” and how “disinformation maps to every major challenge in society, particularly the the most existential of them.”

At Davos, they also said, “what misinformation attacks is trust, then trust declines and society fractures, along tribal lines.” Interesting, because that’s exactly what massive societal lies do as we have witnessed in the last several years.

This week, the director-general of the WHO is still pushing for a global authoritarian response to pandemics. He speaks of the trust that was eroded between people, governments and institutions, “fueled by a torrent of mis- and disinformation.” He spoke of the next pandemic, the ongoing negotiation of a new pandemic accord and amendments to the International Health Regulations, “to strengthen the legal framework for the global response to pandemics.” He says we must do this “for the sake of future generations,” yet any sane person can see how the WHO does not care about the wellbeing of future generations. They pushed an experimental injection on children and pregnant mothers. What they want is total control and a submissive, compliant global population. He concludes his sales pitch with, “We are stronger together”—a throwback to the we are all in it together campaign, which are pretty words but also an extortion of trust.

After the October 7th atrocities in Israel and Gaza began, a leaked State Department memo revealed that diplomats were specifically told not to publicly use terms like “de-escalation/ceasefire”, “an end to violence/bloodshed” or “restoring calm.” In other words, they want war.

The more they silence voices, the more people become more afraid to speak up about anything that contradicts the acceptable narrative.

Most of us remember seeing this happening during COVID. People were called crazy, murderers, deniers, conspiracy theorists, Nazi sympathizers and other terms to try to shame them into silence. Some were even arrested. Only the brave persisted through the false accusations and smear campaigns.

Recently, Israel’s Communications Minister proposed “emergency regulations” that would allow the arrest of civilians or seizure of their property if it is believed they have spread information that could “harm national morale”.

The censorship and propaganda is always disguised as for your good, in some twisted way. What’s crazy-making is how they keep repeating that mis- and disinformation is breaking down the trust in society and relationships. It’s complete hypocrisy because it’s their lies, deception and distortion of truth that is collapsing trust around the world.

Trust is the glue that holds relationships together.

Trust can be powerful and strong, yet it’s also so fragile. Trust is built slowly over time, yet it can be destroyed in an instant. When divergent values emerge and a debt occurs in relationships, war breaks out there too.

Once trust collapses, there’s nothing left but an empty abyss between people. Can the trust be repaired or not after it collapses? The path to the repair and restoration of trust involves returning to the truth.

One of the main obstacles preventing people from seeing reality, is not wanting to see that such evil exists in the world and that some of the very people they trust, are untrustworthy.

We have already learned that a declaration of an “emergency” is a convenient tool for tyrants to bypass laws and humanity. Just about anything can be justified with “emergency powers.”

If we cannot have open dialog and free speech during crises, we are walking through these situations of heightened stress and trauma blinded to reality.

This is how the fog of war is created. It’s actually brain fog. What happens at a societal level is similar to what happens to targets of psychological and spiritual abuse in relationships and families, which is like living in a kind of war zone every day.

Piers Robinson, during an interview on Jerm Warfare, describes the fog of war as “the uncertainty in situational awareness experienced by participants in military operations.” In other words, it’s difficult to know WTF is going on, which makes it difficult to get clarity and make sound decisions.

Robinson lays out some specifics:

1. All information about the enemy’s forces, their positions, and their intentions might not be available or accurate.

2. There might be challenges in communication among various units in an army due to technical issues, enemy intervention, or chaos in the battlefield.

3. The situation on the ground can change very quickly and unexpectedly.

4. People make mistakes, and in the heat of battle, the chances of mistakes can increase.

5. Elements such as weather, the morale of troops, unexpected reinforcements for the enemy, or even something as unpredictable as a disease outbreak can drastically affect the course of a battle.

The uncertainty and unpredictability, the communications breakdown, the bombardment of propaganda and the resulting emotional reactivity and cognitive dissonance is what keeps people in a state of fog and confusion.

Brain fog can be used to socially engineer consent for abuse, war and slavery.

Propaganda and the fog of war involves gaslighting, which is used to distort your perception of reality and make you feel crazy if you see things differently.

When people are bombarded with emotionally-provoking information, the Autonomic Nervous System gets hijacked. It becomes hard to think clearly, to process information, and discern what is true. Instead, people are highly reactive and defensive. In such a state, it’s easy to fall into traps without realizing what’s happening.

Short, catchy phrases are introduced, some of which are true statements by themselves or sound harmless, but they’re being used in doublespeak to hide the opposite reality that's taking place. Other catch phrases are irrational and nonsensical but they're presented as if they make perfect sense. These are repeated to anchor a false certainty or clarity in the confusion. People sometimes cling to these phrases for exactly that reason—it’s a false refuge from the disorienting stress of the confusion.

The more you hear the catch phrases repeated by people, corporations, government and organizations, the more it's programmed into your mind, the easier it is to believe it's true, and the harder it is to unsubscribe and stay sane.

When bits of truth do come forth, the mind doesn’t want to see it.

This state of denial is difficult to pierce.⁣ It’s a survival mechanism that gives the mind a break from the stress and discomfort of the dissonance.

Groups of people and entire societies can be lured into slavery this way.⁣ 

The Powers That Shouldn’t Be tell us what they’re doing, as a psychopath does in an interpersonal relationship. It’s just that most people aren’t listening because they’re focused on a fantasy that the perpetrators sold them.

Here we clearly see the Hamas-Israel conflict on top, at the center of which is wrath. All seven of the deadly sins are written into this Economist magazine cover image, published just after the December 21, 2012 Mayan calendar famous date. Eleven years later, here we are.

Do you want to live in Hell?

They want us to believe this reality is inevitable. They want to entice us to join them in Hell. Misery—and evil—loves company.

We have the power and responsibility to not drift into that environment if that’s not the world we want to live in.

While you can’t directly control what’s happening on the global stage, you can apply your free will—your personal responsibility—through the actions you take to make your environment as peaceful as possible through these intensely chaotic and uncertain times.

Your freedom depends on your commitment to presence.

It’s up to you to reclaim control and sovereignty over your mind.

If you catch yourself zoning out or drifting into negative environmental influences, bring yourself back to center and presence.

When we are not present, we are lost in illusion, lies, fantasy, confusion, false narratives and empty promises for the future.⁣

When we are not present, we can be lured by unhealthy desires.
⁣
When we are not present, we become easy targets for abusers.⁣
⁣
When we are not present, we are unable to feel and see what's really going on.⁣
⁣
But when we are present, we are focused on growth, making new choices and not repeating the past habits of drifting or automaton behavioral programming.⁣
⁣
When we are present, we are able to discern good from evil.⁣

When we are present, we are less emotionally reactive.
⁣
When we are present, we are able to be truly connected to others.⁣
⁣
When we are present, we are able to make important and timely decisions that can save our lives.⁣

When we are present, we choose our actions consciously.

Stay present. Keep bringing yourself back to presence with your breath.
