Thread: Where do you get your world news?

What I mean is, if so-called "news" was really meant for you, you would've already known and experienced it first hand without having to "inform" yourself about it.

Anything negative known through second or third party sources is about as useful as rubbernecking as you pass an accident on the highway-- it does no one justice and is more a subconscious way of basking in the glow from your perspective and feeling better for not having to experience the same thing, whether one is consciously aware of that or not.

In all honesty, even if you contributed some money to a charity or something that benefited those affected by the typhoon or earthquake, what did the knowledge of those events actually do for you as a person, other than provide you with some water cooler talk at work?

What did people around the world do to get their news before the internet, newspapers, mass media, etc? In those times, people were arguably no more worse for the wear from not having known about it. In all reality, they probably spent their time doing something more productive, instead.

I would argue, this perverse need of ours in this digital age to keep ourselves informed of the ills of the world is something that holds us back and bring us down as individuals.

As David Icke said in the video I posted, "The whole of this manipulated society is globally structured to make us fear, to make us have stress, to make us worry about tomorrow, have guilt about yesterday, and forget about now... it brings us into a slow dense vibrational state."
