Something is off
“Something is off.”
“It doesn’t add up.”
“It doesn’t make sense.”
Ever got this feeling that something is off, but you cannot find out what it is?
That is precisely the feeling we are looking for.
It is no surprise that many folks get this feeling because something is massively off, but this is not easy to tell because we are fully immersed in a constantly repeated fiction.
The world as it has been presented to you is based on a narrative constructed by some folks who are interested in you thinking in this manner and not in another manner. Me too, i used to believe in this fiction.
So what?
If something is off, it’s good. It’s a sign that you have spotted an exit door, a “glitch in the matrix.” You don’t really understand how to approach this exit door, but feel there is something to look at. If i may use this image, it’s a bit like a kid spotting something off on the lake. Something is weird, and the kid needs to investigate. They need to know what it is! Funny enough, we had lost the deep curiosity that most of us had when we were kids.
I suggest you write down and say out loud what you think is off. If you do not capture that thing, you will likely return to your fictitious world and continue your fabricated life as if nothing had happened.
Here are a few things that were off to me:
I felt it was off that in 2021, so many countries followed the same actions in terms of lockdown and restrictions while usually, they can’t even align on one topic
I felt it’s weird that history books and movies repeat the same topics (war, viruses, …) over and over again as if they absolutely want us to believe this and not believe something else.
I felt it’s weird that the media are not talking about excess death statistics following the Covid-19 vaccines.
I felt it was bizarre that suddenly we have so many gays and lesbians inside TV series, and we don’t see many heterosexuals anymore.
What else do you think is bizarre, off, or weird?
Say it in your own words.
Okay, something is weird. What would you have expected? What would you usually see? How would you have expected them to behave? For instance, you would expect some media to discuss the excess death topic.
You try to identify normal behavior, what you would have expected to see or hear. You bring some contrast for you to see. Have you ever put a filter on a photo? What do you do? You increase the contrast so that elements in the photo are more visible. You are doing the same thing here.
Something is weird because there is a gap between what you would expect to see or hear and what you observe.
It belongs to you to find out the reason behind this gap. Most People won’t even bother understanding why there is a gap. They go on with their life for whatever reason… no time, laziness, don’t think it’s an issue, don’t perceive a risk, whatever.
Understanding requires effort, so why use your brain when you can enjoy more highly entertaining TV series?
These gaps between what you observed and thought should have happened are exit doors towards starting your journey toward a life where you are in charge. A life where you are thriving. A life you drive and not the robot-type fabricated life you are likely having right now. Indeed, you find security and comfort in this current life, but first, it is not your l,ife and second, as you may foresee it, that model of life will likely end. It’s not your life because you did not choose. You were put inside a box, and that’s it.
Start seizing these opportunities provided by things that you perceive as being off. Feel free to share with us what was off for you. What got you started on your own journey?
