hey there I do this episode today with a heavy heart
knowing that I'm stepping out on a limb by doing it because anybody who shares
a Viewpoint the contradicts the current in style social narrative is immediately branded a villain
these are strange times indeed within Human Society the current Trend within Society is
wokeness and this should make a spiritual figure like myself very very happy after all Awakening
is a virtue Society is served by people being aware and well informed it's served by people
being actively attentive to and also responsive to important societal issues but alas I am not happy
because the woke movement is not what people think it is it is not wokeness at all instead
it is a human society that has fallen into yet another pothole of both ego and of unconsciousness
[Music]
what used to be a social movement that was fueled by empathy and compassion and the desire to make
a positive change and what once was a social movement that successfully exposed the dark
reality of Injustice and backward thinking that was blatant within our society has devout it has
devolved into a radical political and social ideology that quite frankly is flirting with
authoritarianism and that is wearing a mask of virtue. Make no mistake. The current wokeness
trend is not genuine awakening. It does not reflect genuine awareness or even intelligence
and it is often marked by false concern. If a society was genuinely woke that would
be a good thing, but the general direction of change that you're seeing within society today
is actually a false wokeness. It's a gaslight. It is something disguised as the opposite of what it is.
it is unconsciousness disguised as Consciousness it is virtue signaling disguised as concern for
others it is immorality disguised as morality it is Prejudice disguised as social justice it is an
assault against Health disguised as measures that are pro-health it is racism disguised
as anti-racism it is primitive ego disguised as evolved states of being it is further damage to
traumatize groups of people disguised as help it is a backward step disguised as forward movement
don't forget that gaslighting is a form of mental abuse this is especially sad because
today's performatively woke Society is a society in which we are gaslighting ourselves and each
other on a mass scale this is one reason why being part of society today you might
have this persistent feeling that something isn't right you might feel a lingering sense
of anxiety and maybe even hopelessness you might feel totally out of alignment with other people
inexplicably frustrated and Confused maybe even like you're going completely crazy
like something is seriously wrong with you or you may be noticing yourself leaning towards
political views that you quite frankly never thought you would align with before
by the way if you want to know more about gaslighting specifically you can
watch my video titled gaslighting what is gaslighting and how to heal from it
today we need to take a step toward actual Awakening by seeing some of the main problems
inherent within the woke society that we're experiencing today one the most important thing
to understand about the wokism of today is that it is gaslighting on a mass scale this gaslighting
will corrode the well-being of every single member of society on top of this we must never forget
that gaslighting sucks people into illusion and thus further away from the real solutions
to the very real problems such as the social justice issues that we as a society are facing
two it is a movement within society that demands Conformity and that not
only fuels but that supports inauthenticity and dishonesty it calls for pretense make no
mistake the woke movement within society today is one of zero tolerance even when
it is forcing Tolerance on the collective it is doing so from a place of intolerance
and like all other dogmatic ideologies it is rigid it is black and white it will not give room to
anything that does not comply as a result it is just another movement trying to force compliance
let's be honest man is a social creature when people are put under social pressure to comply
and conform they do so in order to avoid Pain and Gain Rewards but in doing so they deny suppressant
disown what is real they slip into pretense they become inauthentic and they become dishonest and
nothing can be done to actually change what is real when what is real is being hidden
for example if a society decides that racism is out and the new fad is support
for a specific discriminated race many companies will jump on board with that
Trend and you will see people of that race dominating their marketing campaigns but
that does not mean that the people who run these companies actually agree with the new ideology
the people who run these companies could be racist as hell but they are disguising
themselves as a socially conscious company why so as to not be canceled so as to win public support
or for example if a society decides that the right thing to do is to participate in a public
health regime and has decided to paint those who don't as a Public Enemy those people who
don't are then marginalized or attacked if they don't omit their opinion or even lie
the dogmatic demand for Conformity to what the majority has decided is right
kills the ability within people to admit to and express anything that does not conform
to that ideal it kills what is real and what is true people in society don't actually have
to change they don't actually have to be awakened or informed they just have to say
the right thing and advocate for specific things in public and demonstrate a sense of solidarity
against the current out groups in order to be considered part of the newest in group
you guys this is classic unconscious human social behavior at its finest many people
are celebrating the current woke Trends as if they are a sign that Society is changing and is
finally headed in the right direction but it is not true change if people are doing it to
fit in with the in-group or to avoid conflict or to gain social support or to feed their own ego
three today's rigid woke culture is ushering in an era of cancel culture and an end of the
freedom of speech when something is canceled it has ended it is nullified it is eradicated
and today's wokeus culture is looking to cancel anything that does not align with its own very
rigid ideology this includes silencing voices and blocking information that opposes its own
to learn more about cancel culture you can watch my video titled a cancer culture what
is cancel culture and what to do about it 4. the woke culture of today is just
another flavor of right versus wrong good versus bad black versus white thinking
this is a direct contradiction to actual wokeness because Awakening causes your mind to open
it shows you how complex and how nuanced things really are this includes social justice issues
black and white thinking drags us into the inability to fully comprehend the reality of
things it causes us to draw the wrong conclusions just because they're simple it harms our
relationships it shuts us down to learning into alternative ideas and it limits our capacity to
find the actual solutions to our problems on top of this the reality is that the woke culture of
today displays the same dichotomous thinking that underpins the very social issues such as racism
or sexism or homophobia that it professes to be against five today's woke Society Trend gives
the unhealthy ego a place to absolutely Thrive because Society sees wokism as good and right
your ego doesn't have to do anything other than virtue signal now
so many people are saying what they are saying and are doing what they are doing not because of a
genuine understanding of what they are saying and doing and not actually because of genuine concern
or actual personal truth they are saying what they are saying and doing what they
are doing so as to feed their own ego and win the social approval of others
a person can feel like they are such a good person by putting a performatively woke a sign in their
front lawn they can feel Superior by using the right pronouns when referring to someone else
they can Feel So Satisfied by posting a meme about cultural appropriation
they can feel righteous by publicly championing the latest Public Health regime
because of this our actual subscription to the wokeness is actually Skin Deep
this is clearly seen in the fact that our everyday behaviors
definitely do not match the concern for social issues that we Show online in fact
our daily behaviors often directly contradict the performance that we put on for the public
six today's woke culture is a byproduct of very wounded individuals who are bitter as a result of
having experienced unfairness and whom as a result have essentially weaponized their resentment
because of the unfairness that they have experienced they blame other people usually
a specific out group for their disempowerment and hurt and thus they justify any action they
take against a person who they think belongs to that group and in the same vein when they
make other people especially those in those out groups responsible for the unfairness
they then try to manipulate them into making amends none of this is actual healing and
none of this is actual empowerment seven the wokis culture is keeping the social deadlock
triangle of the victim the villain and the hero alive and well the very Foundation of today's
world culture is victimhood there are perks to victimhood this is scary because when there are
perks this big as we're seeing right now to being a victim everyone wants to be a victim
so what do they do they invent crimes so as to be seen by others as a victim this is an injustice
to actual victims and invites false accusations on top of this in a virtue signaling Society everyone
wants to be a hero and a hero needs both a clear victim and a clear bad guy in order to exist
people looking to be public Heroes seek glory and adulation they invent villains regardless
of whether that villain actually exists so that they can portray themselves as Heroes
essentially what culture has given people who lack bravery in every sense and who want to be
heroes the opportunity to invent causes of victimhood so that they can then tell the
world that they are the hero for eradicating the threat this mentality keeps Humanity disempowered
it creates scapegoats and also false villains and it destroys The credibility of actual victims
eight there are many dysfunctional psychological and social patterns that today's woke culture
promotes and advocates for that so many of us in the spiritual psychology and self-development
field are trying our hardest to undo for example it promotes the idea that feelings represent
reality and that you don't have to really deeply look into something because you just
know it or you just feel it when what is true is that while feelings are always a carrier of
personal information and are always important they don't necessarily always reflect reality
and you absolutely do have to look deeply into things and question them if you are interested
in what is true or for example it promotes the idea that we are either the oppressor or we are
the oppressed and we are defined by that group that we are born into when what Awakening looks
like is ceasing to see the world in this black and white way Awakening is to see ourselves in
everything and everyone and to decide that our own thoughts and actions are what Define us personally
let's give another one okay or for example it promotes the idea that if your ancestors are
members of the tribe that you are born into did something horrible it is your offense
it's our offense whether we personally participated or not and thus we are responsible
for what they did When developing psychologically is to see that you are not guilty for or
responsible for what your parents or grandparents did you could not change what happened all you can
do is to make an autonomous decision for your own conduct Here and Now you get my point right there
are so many ways that this woke movement is a direct antagonist to Spiritual Development to
Awakening to psychological emotional and physical health and to self-development
therefore this current culture is not a forward step as many would like to think it is
9. today's wokism shuts down intelligent conversation and thus thwarts the progress of our
entire species many would have you believe that the woke culture is a liberal ideology it is not
this is yet another Gaslight what defines liberalism is the willingness to respect
or accept behaviors that differ from one's own and most especially the openness to new ideas
alas this is not what we see in this woke culture when someone expresses disagreement
around social issues potentially like I'm doing right now it means that person is seen as either
ignorant or bad and instead of being open to their ideas this culture shuts them down
the idea that maybe there's value inherent in the other person's perspective does not exist
they've already made up their mind and anyone who has a different opinion is wrong also shutting
down or publicly destroying someone who doesn't see how wrong they are is now seen as virtuous
also it's now not okay to offend anyone by expressing an opinion that others might dislike
this new culture is quite literally killing new thought and is also killing the conversation
people are showing an absolute unwillingness to test their assumptions you guys this is scary
without Viewpoint diversity there would never be any progress within the consciousness of mankind
I could write an entire book on the problem with the woke culture that we are seeing today
and on just how not woke it is but what I want to leave you with is this there
is nothing woke about a person who cannot see the dangers inherent in wokeness itself
