I was watching a video of deprogrammer Dr. Steven Hassan who spent about 2.5 years in the Moonies back in the mid-70s from the age of 19 to 21. He was speaking about his experience of being so totally brainwashed by the group and how he finally made his way out of it. So happened it was being in a terrible automobile crash and falling asleep at the wheel due to forced sleep deprivation that got him away from the Moonies for a couple of weeks allowing his family to step in to get him deprogrammed.
We are living in a time when there are many people out there brainwashing us – hypnotizing us – yes I used that word – in negative ways because we allow our minds to be accessed by them. We listen to the negativity all around us, to people who are in power constantly lying about what is going on forcing our brains into a state of believing that which is and never will be real through their constant repetition.
I worry in these days of AI that false statements being placed in someone’s voice that one never said, false visual presentations again pretending to be something that isn’t will be creating a world that is so corrupted by the unreal that we humans will not be able to discern what is real and what is not. For this reason, I do not use AI, have no interest in it, and will probably lose some business as a result of it. However, I would prefer to use my own words to state my own truths than rely on something that has nothing to do with me helping me to write whatever I may be putting out there into the world.
We need to ask ourselves what it is that we are doing with our lives as Steven asked himself as he became a psychologist to help those in the profession better understand the means that were used to bring people into these cults.
I know for myself, having gone through the mental and physical health issues of my younger years, that do not use that which I learned from the healing process to help others would be a waste of all that I had been through.
Life is short. We all have our own journey to live and with that journey, there is something we have to offer that is larger than ourselves to make the world better for having been here.
My question to you is simply this: What are you doing with your life that is of value to others based on that which you learned the hard way – by having to live through it all to receive your learning?
