Doom and Gloom Misinformation

[EarthBowl]

Really good points Dapper... clear headed ...not fear based.
From my perspective... I find myself" getting a rush " when I hear the predictions. I dont watch scarey movies but I think its almost like that kind of feeling. I also think these "Rushes" can become almost addictive. It raises the adreneline ... its exciting... but at the same time "unreal'. i also think this kind of reaction is an energy waster.
But maybe these 'doom predictions' are a way to teach us discernment and to rely on our own inner guidance. We will need these skills as things unfold. What do you think?

I have experienced the same rush. The next thing I knew I was spending most of my free time sorting through all of the predictions. I don't need to tell you there is a lot out there. What I wasn't doing was balancing the information with other positive or interesting information. I think it is a slippery slope honestly.

Dapper, That brings another thought to mind. I have spoken with Many people that are happy with there lives, good job, friends, family and true happiness. Blind Maybe, but happy. I have to say they seem truly Happy, who i am to rain on their parade. They are more likely to tell me to shut up and join them.

good post mr dapper.

i noticed it as well and made the same point of -wont the masses need people that have had access to lots of unknown info and can help guide them through the manipulation.

if we are all in the himalayas with other like minded folk--then the illuminati have done a good job of separating the few with very powerful information and spiritual guidance from the people that need it.

ive bought silver and canned beans and rice but theres no need to go crazy about holing up or hoarding.

ive also noticed that my friends respond more to possible positive outcomes, the moment i start talking about FEMA camps and fascism and flase flags their minds go to "ignore"

i guess theyll need info in stages


good observations

Agreed, Dapper. After the first rush of the first couple weeks here, finding some positive like-minded people, I have begun to dread reading through the "New Posts" titles, there is so much negativity, a lot of it picked up as "news" articles from other sites and then brought in here for discussion all over again.

I almost wish the Mods would start new categories, and throw all the Gloom and Doom threads into a Gloom and Doom folder, with its own "New Posts" page; and all the positive threads into a Positive Thinkers folder with its own "New Posts" page. At least it would cut down the time spent trying to separate the wheat from the chaff.

Here there's a category for everybody, new age, illuminatti, bible belt fanatic,
spy, infiltrator. For me my war is over , yes I will defend my family and friends as best as I can. I will not run scare like a chicken with my head cut off. Life is precious we should enjoy it as best as we can while we can. The events unfolding no one can deny times are getting a little odd to say the least. I am here to try and make a positive contribution and yes I am in the looney toon category mind you. In a few hours Oct. the 7th is around the coner my prayer and thoughts is that the gloom and doom does not become a reality.
Stay safe and positive

AGREED.

My adrenals are beyond exhausted at this point I've been trying to temper these things with activities I enjoy (my music, my esoteric reading, meditation, etc.).

All of these 'alternative' websites should come with a calm but clear advisory: balance required!
