We've Been Brainwashed, but It's Not Working Anymore

The Archangels Point Out Some of the Fallacies

As chaotic as things are, and knowing they’re likely to get worse before they get better, our world is changing. Those of us who know about The Shift are more aware than others of what is happening as well as the effects. Even for those who don’t know what’s prompted these changes, more and more people are bothered by things that never used to bother them in the past, at least not to a great enough extent to do something about them.

Now, however, the things in the world that are not righteous or fair won’t leave us alone. We are all getting to the point where we’ve had enough and have accepted that we have to do something to make things right, whether these things seem to affect us personally or not. That’s part of the change, you know, realizing that what affects others adversely isn’t only their concern, it’s everyone’s concern. Unity is the answer and the only way we’re going to make needed changes.

For a lot of us, it’s like we’ve thrown away those rose-colored glasses we’ve used for solong, and we see things more clearly than ever before. The fact is, we’ve all been conditioned to believe certain things for so long, they have skewed our perspective and tamped down our willingness to reject what is not right. Now, we’re seeing things more clearly, and it is prompting many of us to take a stand that should have been taken a long time ago but wasn’t.

In short, we are waking up to the reality we have allowed to be created and even taken part in. We were trained a long time ago to act a certain way and accept some things as realities that we cannot change. I asked the Angels to expand on this idea, and their answer follows.

Question: The Shift has brought a new awareness to many of us about things that have been happening for a long time which we have not adequately addressed in the past. We’ve been conditioned to believe we have no power to change such things. Bigotry, inequality, tyranny, and multiple attempts to control others and take away personal choices have made a huge comeback over the last few years, and there has been a rash of backward steps taken where human rights are concerned. What else have we been brainwashed about?

Answer:

You are divine beings of light, but you have been conditioned to forget this. Your true nature has been obliterated for hundreds of years. What is truly your nature, that is, what feels natural to you, has been systematically suppressed and redirected to the point that mankind has forgotten who and what they are, where they come from, and especially, their power and value.

Those in power through the years have done an excellent job of manipulating people and convincing them that they are inferior and in need of leaders who make decisions for them and tell them what they can and cannot do. You have been convinced that you are in need of supervision, that others must make decisions for you, and that you must follow whatever edicts they announce, because you are not capable of making big decisions on your own, for yourself or when it comes to directing your life. You have believed what you have been told, and you have not questioned overmuch. You have learned to say yes and to fall into line and march where you are directed. You are only now beginning to question the status quo that has reigned for so long. Consider the weakness of the way things have been done for so long, how poorly the majority of people are served, and you will begin to see what needs to change.

It is no secret that most cultures on Earth are patriarchal by design. Sometimes this is easy to spot, such as in the places where women are overtly denied their rights and are at the mercy of whatever the men dictate. Others are more subtle, such as silently or not so silently believing that women are inferior in many ways, which is evident through differences in pay, selection for employment, and focus for research for diseases and medicines, not to mention overly conservative views that relegate women to a place where they are not given the freedom to make their own choices and are expected to do what they are told, regardless of their own opinions.

These things may feel normal, because they have been in place for so long, but they are not natural, and they do not serve anyone well, whether you are male or female. In your natural state, humans have an equal balance of both masculine and feminine energies. Both are needed to live optimally, yet men who show sensitivity and women who are assertive have been ridiculed and harassed through the ages up to the present time. 

Masculine and feminine energies are not meant to complete. They are meant to be balanced and work together. They are equally powerful, and gender has little to do with them, other than what society has dictated in the past. Feminine energy is freeing and nurturing and leads to creation of all kinds of things using your natural gifts, while masculine energy leads to production and progress of these ideas. Most of you are unbalanced in these essential energies. The Shift will lead many to see this imbalance, and it will be conducive to finding a new, better balance.

Inequality has been a way of life and accepted for so long, you have been conditioned to believe that it is unavoidable, and it is not. Neither is it natural to ignore it or concern yourself about that which affects you and only you, to the exclusion of what affects others. The nature of humans is to be aware of each other, to socialize, and to nurture. That is why social reform is a much pursued topic of late. More and more people will find discomfort and awareness regarding the suffering of others, find it unacceptable, and be moved to intervene. The Earth, now that it resides in the fifth dimension, is no longer a comfortable place for apathy. More and more, you will realize the worth of everyone on Earth is equal in value.

Traditional religion that is confining and judgmental, while having many followers in the past who did not question their belief systems, is coming to an end. We do not say all religion will end or that it should, but that the passive acceptance of long established dogma and tradition without question will be reevaluated by the individual, and many will no longer accept what has been blindly accepted in the past. People will begin to question rather than automatically accept what religious leaders present to them as truth, especially when it is not centered on love, kindness, and acceptance of others. 

Judgments and stereotypes are already losing their appeal to many, which is tied to the decline in religious practice. Those religions, churches, and clergy who continue to promote persecution of others will find their following diminishing until they are, for the most part, alone. The fifth dimension is not conducive to this, and neither is the true nature of humankind. It is human nature to approach people with an open mind and heart, rather than to make judgments beforehand. Neither will it be acceptable to judge others harshly anymore, especially for things that are not a choice for them, such as their race, sexual identification, gender identification, and physical attributes.

Mankind has been conditioned to perceive appearance and many traits in a certain way when in reality, your nature would not place significant importance on these things. Although it is hard to believe after living so long within these confines, human nature in its unconditioned form is much more of the mind to live and let live according to individual preference, rather than demand that people conform to what others deem as acceptable. The upcoming generations will find these ways ridiculous, and they will not stand.

Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, is how you have been conditioned to live in fear. This new 5D awareness will change everything. When you conduct your life based on fear, you adopt many limitations to joy and self-expression. It affects all aspects and choices when your first consideration is survival and security, rather than joy and fulfillment. You have all been trained to fear the future to such an extent that it affects your present and shapes and dictates your path. It affects what you value and how you view success and what you prioritize, all leading to a sense of discontent, while the fear never ends. 

Because of this ever present search for security and safety, you have been taught to believe that you have no control over things and must trust others to keep you safe by giving them extreme power in decision making. You have been brainwashed to believe that you are helpless and need others to make decisions for you, limiting your options. You have been made to believe that you are weak and that your safety depends on allowing others to control your life. You have been convinced to cede your control and power to others.

All of these things have been in place for so long, that they are only now beginning to be questioned or even realized. More and more things that have been in place for so long are now causing people to stop and reconsider, and they are finding they do not approve, and that current systems are ineffective. They see for the first time that things must change, and they are beginning to take action that will ensure these changes are made and old systems are replaced with better ones.

Whereas in the past, while Earth was in the third dimension, people were quite easily manipulated, it is becoming more apparent that this is no longer the case. People are beginning to question the status quo and think for themselves, rather than accept what others tell them automatically. This trend will continue.

At this point, most of you do not know the true nature of humankind anymore. You must relearn it and continue to question things you either do not understand or with which you disagree. In time, a new normal will be established, and it will be much more comfortable and effective. Change can be exceedingly uncomfortable at the time it is happening, but in the end, it will serve you well.

Final Thoughts

I’ve always believed that there is more good in people than there is bad. After channeling this message, it would seem that most of the bad aspects we experience are not natural to us, but have been forced upon us by people who benefit from us believing that we are unable to do anything about it. I think of the times when people have been in trouble due to violence, natural disasters, or other conflicts, and so many have stepped up in the past to help the afflicted either by sending money or volunteering their time, etc. It always reinforces the thought that most people are decent and kind. Most people care.

All the stuff the Angels talked about rings true to me. For so long, we’ve been aware of problems, but we’ve distanced ourselves from them many times, because we don’t think there is anything we can do about them. After all, what power do we have over these things? I think we are realizing more and more that we have a lot more power than we’ve been aware of in the past. We’re beginning to join together and plan to take action to set things right. This is a crazy time, but it’s also an exciting time.

Most of us, when we someone struggling right in front of us are willing to lend a helping hand. If they fall or call for help, we usually response in some way. We just need to apply that willingness to help others to all people, whether we know or see them, or not. We can’t help everyone, but we can help someone. The first step is to acknowledge that all people are worthy of help and they are all valuable.

Blessings, all.
