Lies & Hatred: They Work Hand in Hand With Each Other

 

Mixed Messages
As a society we keep on telling our young people that they don't have any idea of what love is all about, yet when we are adults we are expected to know what love is. If we tell our children that they have no concept of love, and then when we grow up, are expected to know what love is, without seeking it as a child and learning to know love as a child, then how do we as adults, become such experts and authorities on love ourselves? The best time to learn love is as a child, because at that age we are more inclined to know love, than we will as we grow older.

We have become a society that tells our children that we know love better than they do, but who is really deceiving who with that consciousness. So rather than have our children learn real love, we manipulate and deceive them, just like those in power that deceive and manipulate the masses of people.

Adults find pleasure in deceiving a child.
They consider it necessary, but they also enjoy it.
The children very quickly figure it out
and then
practice deception themselves.
Elias Canetti
1905-1994

So each time that we deceive a child, in any manner, we are destroying bit by bit the love and trust that the child will need later as an adult. You see, truth and trust go together and are a big ingredient in what goes into the making of true and real love. It is very easy to see why the foundation of lies is associated with hate, because any type of misconstructed truth is a lie, and the lie is the breeding ground of hate, because hate feeds off of the untruths of society.

Each time we close our minds to any consciousness that is contrary to the consciousness of our own, we attack the virtues of the foundations that form the truth, because we are more content to be deceived in our stupidity, than pursue the enlightenment and freedom that knowledge can bring about. Mankind by virtue of this has become lazy to the realities of the truth. This fact has not gone unnoticed by those in our society. Take for example this piece from the Praise of Folly, written in 1509 by Desirerius Erasmus:

Man's mind is so formed
that it is far more susceptible
to falsehood
than to truth.

The manipulation of the consciousness of the masses of humankind is nothing new, in fact the more modern beginnings of the consciousness that permeates our world society today started approximately 1,635 years ago with the marriage of the Christian church and the Federal system of government, as ordered and created by Emperor Constantine the Great. From there the social situation in world civilization has continued to decay to its current level, and will continue to decay unless the masses of people change that consciousness to a more positive one.

How can we do that?

Come back to this site soon and by the next time that you visit here, the rest of the site should be up and running. This site is a work in progress, and from time to time the content will change, so if you want this page as it is now you had best save it.
