What we see is not what it is.

 

What we see is not what it is.

My good friend works in Northern BC. If what he tells me is true, the people there are tougher than in the south and are united in hate. He hates Trudeau and also hates the premier of Alberta. Trudeau is making him take the vaccine and Kenney caused him not to be paid overtime when he worked in Alberta. Kind of strange, but he swears that all his co-workers know about the vaccine causing harm. Well… there aren’t many intellectuals he works with and they get the news from sources that we don’t. He mentioned Rebel News and Tic Tok.

Since I am compromised, I have been waiting for him to get vaccinated. Yet he swore he will not let THEM inject him with poisons and some kind of electronic tracking device. Finally, (For the fourth time) he announced he was getting the shot. He plans to place a protest sign on his chest saying that his freedom was taken, etc. etc. A comment under his note said that he may die of blood clots. He wants the “news” to video his protest. Perhaps he and his co-workers think that they have a very original idea. Well, I will be happy if he is immunized and I may see him for Christmas.

The present pandemic hit the world at a bad time and place. The US came to realize that it’s losing the economic game to China, and the President made China the scapegoat instead of dealing with the real problem. They lost precious time while the country further divided itself into political ideologies, enhancing the damage the virus can inflict, and it did. Three-quarters of a million Americans lost their lives. It is relatively easy to confuse the human mind.

Those of us who study the human mind learned much in the last few years. We learned that genes do not control what people see and do. The environment and a person’s willpower do. We choose whom and what we want to be, but we don’t know it. The language we use and the actions we take on a day-to-day basis dictate our direction in life. Belief is our driving force. Our imagination is not only projecting our dreams, but also our reality. The sub-conscience mind is pre-programmed early in life and we end up living the programing. That is why most poor people remain poor and rich people stay rich.

That which we call reality is also what we expect. You may say with conviction, I know it is so, I saw it with my own eyes; and be wrong. The human eye is not what we think it is. For example, one of the primary colours that we see is green, yet green doesn’t exist. We mix a combination of other colours in our human mind and we call it green. The engineers who designed the Hubble telescope knew it. Only one of the sensors they installed is detecting light. The universe is full of radiation that our primitive eyes can’t see. Those beautiful pictures we see from space are a combination of waves that we can’t see without special filters.  

We argue about the story of creation. That too now became a political point. Was it an evolution or creation story? How dumb. It was a creation that we are only now beginning to understand. Our minds don’t let us believe the truth if it doesn’t fit our limited knowledge we call science. We will learn more. The great “I am” creates but the simple minds yet don’t understand how.

Our rudimentary understanding of time doesn’t cover even a portion of reality. Memories are only a small, inaccurate portion of reality that keeps changing all the time. When we say “I” we shouldn’t mean a skin bag full of bones and parts. We should refer to the entire universe. “All that belongs to the Father belongs to me and all that belongs to me is yours through me.” (Bible.) Why do we say it and not believe it? We interpret the knowledge with limited resources, politicize it and fight over it to make a profit here on earth. If we followed religion or science, we should be OK. Just forget the statement about six days. When the earth was forming “days” were not 24 hours on a human watch.

Now, in my old age, I am facing a possibility that someone will change the beloved province I helped build and call home. A political group is working hard to change my reality. Nurses and doctors are leaving. Private surgeries will provide care for people with money, leaving more complicated cases and poor people to wait longer for care and die. They will force our public schools to teach the curriculum thought in private schools skewed to one religion, contradicting science. Mentioning polluting the environment will be investigated. They will curtail help for disadvantaged people. Insurance will be out of reach for those who need it most. Canada’s pension will be replaced to focus on investing in carbon-emitting industries instead of on those who live on it. The one that hurts most, we will no longer have the security we always enjoyed by using the RCMP. The red coats will be replaced.

Those Neo-Liberal ideas are ruining our economy, as we are presently witnessing. The focus is on selling raw materials and buying finished goods made by cheap labour somewhere else. Where will our jobs and high standard of living come from? Now the Neo-Liberals teamed up with the anti-vaxxers and infected my friend and his buddies.

We must realize that we need to protect ourselves, produce what we need here, and look after our brothers, sisters, kids, and parents. If others do it, they will ruin us. Our investors will go wherever they make more profits while we will not be able to feed ourselves. We need small businesses, little farms, and vaccines.
