Staying Sane in a World Going Insane

Monday, January 12, 2026 15:25

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

(Left. Test Pattern i.e. Keep the mind blank or focused on God/Christ/Consciousness.)

WE NEED TO TAKE REGULAR BREAKS FROM FRETTING OVER OUR DISINTEGRATING SOCIETY AND FOCUS ON THE BIG PICTURE WHICH HOLDS THE ULTIMATE ANSWER.

The planet is run by Satanists.

We have been programmed to chase money and sex instead of celebrate and obey God.

God is Consciousness, the Sweetness at the core of our Being, ideal love, beauty, truth, the plan for human and social perfection.

We are mostly unconscious, asleep. Our challenge is to wake up!

We create our own reality. We want a better world but we must first create one for ourselves.

It’s not how long we live. It’s how we live.

Disclaimer - Is it not hypocritical to write about detaching from the world and yet provide a largely depressing daily feed about current events? I do this because most people are unaware of our real predicament. They are in denial and cling to the pretence that things are normal, that the ship of state can be righted. I hope they’re right but in the meantime, we serve God by exposing the work of the devil. I haven’t mastered the wisdom below, that Aldous Huxley called The Perennial Philosophy, but it has helped me cope.

Thinking is an Addiction (Updated from July 4, 2022)

by Henry Makow PhD

When I say thinking is an addiction, I’m referring to the compulsive stream of fear, anxiety, judgment, argument, chatter, and trivia that usually fills our minds.

I used to depend on the mass media for my mental image of reality. As a result, I was dysfunctional.

Like sickness, war and poverty, dysfunction is systemic (inherent in society.) They are profitable.

Illuminati member Harold Rosenthal spelled it out: “We have converted the people to our philosophy of getting and acquiring so that they will never be satisfied. A dissatisfied people are pawns in our game of world conquest. They are always seeking and never able to find satisfaction. The very moment they seek happiness outside themselves, they become our willing servants.” Harold Rosenthal The Hidden Tyranny

TRAPPED IN THE PRISM OF THE MIND

We don’t experience reality. We experience our thoughts.

As Rosenthal says, our minds have been programmed to “be dissatisfied” and want more. The programming is in music, movies, TV and education. There must always be striving, conflict.

Tell a man he is a chicken, and he struts around and clucks and even tries to lay an egg. Thus, men go to war and die “to defend freedom.” Look at the Vietnam War for example. “If Vietnam goes Communist,” they told us,”all South East Asia will fall.”

Didn’t happen. Look at Vietnam today. Was that war necessary? Were Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya or Syria? Necessary only for profit and to impose the NWO.

(Remember “terrorists” did this)

The Illuminati fabricate reality. Consider the JFK-RFK-MLK assassinations, 9-11, Boston Marathon, Sandy Hook, the COVID hoax and Ukraine. They determine reality simply by lying. They created ISIS and are responsible for war crimes as bad as any in history.

They program our minds to adopt self-destructive behavior.

BAD INFLUENCE

Teachers can no longer refer to children as “boys” and “girls.” Children are encouraged to change their gender and experiment with homosexuality. Women are taught that being a wife and mother is “oppressive” and promiscuity is “empowering.” Men are taught to seek sex and not love. Society is governed by depravity & nonsense.

Un-moored from the Moral Order, (i.e. God, the soul, intuition) the mind is malleable indeed! “The first effect of not believing in God is that you believe in anything.” — GK Chesterton

We experience our programming rather than reality. For example, Hollywood presents romance and sex as panaceas and we actually experience them as such…until the illusion dispels like a morning fog. The Cabalists love hypnotizing us with their “magic.” By themselves, our minds have no anchor in Truth. The mental world is a house of mirrors.

GROUNDING YOURSELF IN THE REAL YOU

The mind (ego) and the consciousness (soul) are two competing sources of identity. We have been programmed to identify entirely with the ego and deny the existence of the soul.

We need to experience ourselves as consciousness. Consciousness witnesses ego. Empty the mind of thought and what’s left is the real you.

Turn off thought like a light switch. As we shift from mind to spirit, many “desires” fade away. They were mental in character.

The poet Henry More (1614-1687) wrote: “When the inordinate desire after knowledge of things was allayed in me, and I aspired after nothing but purity and simplicity of mind, there shone in me daily a greater assurance than ever I could have expected, even of those things which before I had the greatest desire to know.”

Like penguins stranded on an ice flo, mankind is an ape colony on a speck in the universe. No one really understands what we’re doing here.

The colony is infected by a parasite which, by “vaccine,” war and social engineering, devours the host.

We are here to realize the Creator’s purpose.

God wants to know Himself through us.

But collective salvation is NOT possible without personal salvation.

Most of us can achieve personal salvation.

—-NOTE Christians complain that this is Raja Yoga and New Age. This shows how little they understand Jesus’ message.

Matthew 6:26-34 New King James Version (NKJV) 26 Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? 27 Which of you by worrying can add one [a]cubit to his [b]stature?

28 “So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; 29 and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not [c]arrayed like one of these. 30 Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?

31 “Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

Thoreau echoed this wisdom:

” I know of no more encouraging fact than the unquestionable ability of man to elevate his life by a conscious endeavour. It is something to be able to paint a particular picture, or to carve a statue, and so to make a few objects beautiful; but it is far more glorious to carve and paint the very atmosphere and medium through which we look, which morally we can do. To affect the quality of the day, that is the highest of arts.”

Eckhart Tolle:

“Can’t stop thinking; can’t stop drinking; can’t stop smoking; can’t stop eating; thinking is a greater addiction than any of these.”

I recommend the YouTubes by Eckhart Tolle below. “Find your identity in the present moment,” Tolle says. He is referring to pure consciousness. With so many people spinning webs of crazy thought, we need an anchor in spiritual reality.
