I had a conversation with my sister this week.
And it served as a reminder, a nudge, a truth.
That even though we have information that is circling us at every moment in time, through every crack in our online experience, that we must be weary.
We must make sure to filter out the spaces that we are operating in.
Is this serving me?
Is it for the higher good?
For education and knowledge?
For education of real current events?
Does this information feel true?
And when it doesn’t feel true, when there is a lapse in our judgement and we allow something in that we ourselves cannot claim as 100% true..
Be open to that.
Accept the fact that not everything all of us are ingesting are true facts.
Facts that have ‘happened’.
That were heard.
That were seen.
And recognize that we all may be getting some form of misinformation in our spaces in this day and age.
We can choose to recognize that and do better.
We can choose.
Explore the unknown of the internet or the newspaper.
Explore the articles that show up further down on your screen.
Because today, and these days, the headlines and the top hit can be backed by so much money.
And that same money is what seems to hide the truth.
So, feel into it. Feel into the spaces that you’re getting your information. Blink lightly at the NBC’s and BBC’s of the world.
Don’t take it too seriously until you do your own research from multiple sources (of course, if it is worth your time and it makes for a cause or a truth that you deeply connect to and want to seek out).
We all have more to learn.
From our sources.
And from each other.
So don’t disregard what someone said based on what you may not fully know.
Because, what do we really know?
Other than what we ourselves have witnessed or experienced.
We have to come back to who we want to trust.
And this is your reminder to trust wisely.
And let in only what makes sense to you and your soul.
