Thanks to the current pandemic, many people have been looking to the mainstream media and the government for guidance. For many of these people, the aforementioned sources are considered to have all the answers.
So as long as you keep up to date with what these two sources are saying, you’ll know what to do and you’ll be safe, or as safe as you can be. In other words, the virus will be less likely to end your time on this earth.
the same scenario
Now, while more people today may be looking to these sources for guidance, this is something people have been doing for eons. Before the outbreak, many people turned to these sources to stay informed about what was happening and what to do about it.
On top of this, just as there is increased pressure on health professionals to provide answers, it is not entirely new either. To use an analogy; it’s like it’s always been hot, but now, the heat’s turned up a bit.
The foundations
When it comes to why someone would seek out an expert to fill them in on what’s going on, considering their opinion more valuable than anyone else’s, it can be seen in part as a result of what they learned during their time in the system. educational. . Here, they would have been taught, both directly and indirectly, to respect authority.
These people would have known, while they themselves might not have seen that they knew anything. Furthermore, they most likely viewed their caretakers, at least for a time, as all-knowing gods.
Two levels
Then many years will have passed, and yet certain people will continue to be placed on a pedestal. This may not even be something you consciously think about; it could be something that just happens.
And just as hearing and accepting what such people said when they were children allowed them to experience an inner sense of certainty, the same will be true now as adults. Ultimately, listening and accepting what they say can calm their inner world and allow them to feel safe and secure.
the logical thing to do
Other than this, if someone has been training in a certain area for many, many years, it makes a lot of sense to listen to what they have to say. For one, not only can it take years to get a full understanding of something, but it could also be difficult for them to gain access to the correct information.
Based on this, looking towards those who know will allow you to know what is happening without having to wait too long and conserve your own energy. If they did their own research, they could also miss important information and come to the wrong conclusions.
the middle ground
However, this does not mean that relying solely on the experts is the best approach to take. A more balanced approach would be to listen to what they have to say, do your own research, and listen to your own guidance.
This will mean that they will have access to three sources of information; of those who know, their own research and the wisdom of their body. The first two might make sense, but the last one might confuse you.
Confusion
When it comes to their body wisdom, they may wonder how this part of them can provide information and guidance. As far as they are concerned, this part of them could be seen simply as a head-bearing part of them; it is not an area of your being that can guide you.
There are at least two reasons why they would perceive their body in this way and not see it as having their intelligence; an intelligence that is far greater than what his superior memory bank can offer. First, they may live in a left-brain and intellect-worshipping society, and second, they may have become disconnected from their body due to experiencing trauma.
a closer look
The educational system, and perhaps their parents, may have treated them as if they were a blank slate and they probably would not have been seen as being born with an inner intelligence; an intelligence that was always available to them. This would have prevented them from developing a connection on their part with them.
If they experienced trauma during their early years, this would have caused them to be separated from their body. This would not have been something you consciously chose to do; it would have taken place automatically to ensure their survival.
Coming home
In order for them to reconnect with their body and the wisdom found there, it will be essential for them to overcome their trauma. This will allow them to become a more integrated human being.
They will discover that their body speaks to them and that they know things without having to look for answers outside of themselves. Their mind can often dismiss what their body is saying and this is something they can simply acknowledge.
Conclusion
With this in mind, if someone lives in a society that is mind-centered and does not recognize, let alone consider, the wisdom of the body, it is perfectly normal for them to only look outside of themselves for answers and be overly dependent. we experts. The trauma they have experienced throughout their lives and even before they were born can prevent them from realizing that something is not right and that this is not the right way to live.
