Brainwashing isn't something that occurs only in P.O.W. camps or in interrogations. It happens all around you but you're just too numb to see it.
Everday you're experiencing sensory overload and if you don't make time to think for yourself and reflect on your experiences, you will fall prey to brainwashing.
Sometimes it's hard to recognize the tactics being used but if you're not aware of them, then you really don't have a chance.From governments and media outlets to the lady giving you free samples at the grocery store, you're experiencing a subtle form of brainwashing.
I found this article that gives you 10 easy ways you can resist the persuasive strategies that are thrown at you on a daily basis. Remember, your life is not for others to define, so cut through all the glare and propaganda and take control of your life.
"10 Ways to Avoid Brainwashing
If we don’t own our minds, we’re like pawns in a game where we’re not the player. We’re being played. Corporations, governments, advertisers and even religions (oops, I said it) have gone to great lengths to control your mind. Sometimes their tactics are obvious, but most of the time they are downright sneaky.
If we want to ensure that we’re living for ourselves and not serving some corporation’s agenda, we have to put on our mental armor. We have to arm our minds so we can first know when their is an assault on our sovereignty.
Here are 10 tools you can use to avoid brainwashing and retain the ownership of your mind:
1. Decrypt media spin.
The media uses many different tools and angles to sensationalize things that aren’t inherently sensational. “Experts generally agree” can mean a community college professor and “recent surveys find” can mean the polling of 10 people.
Be wary of any claims where the sources aren’t explicitly stated. (See this article for understanding media spin.)
2. Break through the hype.
Have you ever noticed that the most genuinely talented people don’t feel the need to convince you of their ability? If something is authentically awesome, it advertises itself.
All hype isn’t necessarily bad, but having some man scream at you about the amazing cleaning power of OxyClean is most likely an attempt to scare you into believing something.
it a valuble tip one has to pratice
Very good point. I am constantly intrigued by the packages on illumination I am being offered for sale. Some of them also offer access to greater wealth and happiness.By the time I have achieved sufficiently of these great attributes to purchase all I would like to explore, I will probably be in a position to do without them all.
Excellent!
My intuition usually has the last word with me...
The more I listen to it... the more it 'kicks-in'.
Somehow, it's always right!
thank you. Be blessed
I am just watching you.
I don't have tv, because I don't need it.
I don't go to much to the moovie theater because it is more I would say a way of advertisement for certain intrests
and yes I am not from l'americ du north, I am just now hearing the train siren and I am amazed may be you do no't going to understand, it maked me dream about other places not from here.
For me there is 2 type of people: the very creative ones and inventive and the others.
This exquisite entry has my mind vertiginously alive.
Oh how I adore a knowledgeable peice of information.
Brainwashing! It's real and it's frightening what I see happening
here and in the world at large. There are many books like 1984 that are collecting dust on the shelf but should be required reading. Are you a consumer, a citizen, or perhaps a drone.
You have a built-in detector of B.S. called your higher self but it's mostly dormant in people. Reconnect to it and use it!
