You have been programmed

It is what it is - not what is programmed into us.

If you are going to be programmed at least know it for what it is.

Whether it be religion, politics or what ever belief systems you have bought into. nn.............At least know that you are programmed and have bought into it.

We are bombarded from birth with information ...some good.. . some bad.

This determines who we are - what we consider important in life. What makes success .....what makes a woman beautiful. It has all been programmed into us.

We need to think about the ways we are being programmed and who is doing it ...

Figure out what it actually is (it is what it is ) not what is programmed into us.

Go back over your own programming- try to find where the invalidations occur.

Also, figure out why it takes a traumatic experience for many people to understand what is important and what is not.

Why does it take something like a near death experience for us to reprogram? ......Think about the people who aren't fortunate enough to have a near death experience to realize what is important and what is not..... and instead of a near death encounter just plain die in many instances -- ending their misery or the misery they perpetuate on others.

What a waste of a human life .....What are our thoughts when eminent death is upon us ........Is it how much money we made or the new Mercedes in the garage or the fantastic house we have? Not at all ... We are usually thinking about the human relations we have formed in life and what kind of person we have been and filled with regrets for not having lived a better life or having been a better person.

We wish we where more of a human being than chasing the things we were programmed to... nn...Many of our denial tools are stripped away and we are faced with ... it is what it is.

Little wonder at these times our thoughts turn to religion and we are filled with regrets on how it could have been.

It is important to realize what is important to us and not what has been programmed to be important to us.

I'm sure the brainwashed (programmed) German soldier was not thinking of German superiority, when the allies were bombarding their way through Europe. No..... He had been reprogrammed...

What is utterly amazing to me is why the war continued when defeat was eminent, but it did drag on to the brutal end. Why? There was no great moral cause (German superiority). It had to do with a lot of people buying into someone else's trip. In this case, Hitler's. Kinda like the sheep - and the sheepherder leading the sheep over a cliff. A great example of human programming . ..There were very few Germans that were able to understand what was going on .... it is what it is...(Hitler's Insane Programming ).

What a terrible time it must have been for the people who were able to understand what really was going on and not able to do anything to affect their neighbors and family members, following like sheep ... so caught up in a mad mans dream. Many of the modern day Germans still have a hard time understanding how their fathers and grandfathers did what they did.

Look at the Japanese from world war 2. They can't even acknowledge to this day what happened in the war ... colossal denial. Look at their history books. How are you going to learn from history if an attempt is at least not made to tell it like it is?

If I were a Japanese, I would be outraged to be so blatantly programmed. However, there is no outrage. We are led to believe none of these forces exist in the United States. Ya Right ......love it or leave it ...... nn....Look at Thomas Jefferson and the recent revelations about Sally Hemmings, his black mistress, whose children he fathered. Many Americans are angered by this revelation, as it is perceived to be derogatory to an American hero.......Nationalism is great but many times it is used to put blinders on us, to shield us from the way it was. We might as well live in Japan if we don't analyze our past.

What is wrong with telling it like it is? How else are we to learn from our mistakes, or history's mistakes, if it is not accurately depicted? We need to be like the few Germans who knew Hitler for what he was. There are examples throughout history of people being led like sheep, not knowing it for what it was. But ...I guess if you don't realize you are being programmed it doesn't bother you. nnn
