Your consciousness is the field of subconscious thoughts and feelings that you uniquely possess. In other words, it is your unique energy fingerprint that makes up the entirety of who you are as a soul in creation. It is shaped by every past life experience that you’ve had, and the lessons you’ve learned along the way.

Your consciousness is entirely your own to create and mold the way you choose. This is what it means when we often hear the saying ‘You are the creator of your reality.’ You get to choose what you allow and do not allow into your realm of being.

Nonetheless, living on Earth in this day and age, there are influences that try to mold your consciousness the way that they would have it instead. These influences can take the form of all types of media (television, music, popular newspapers and magazines), powerful celebrity figures, and legislation to name a few.

Humans who have yet to develop their consciousness to the stage of awareness that thinks deeply enough to question the source of these everyday influences that permeate our day-to-day existence, often thoughtlessly go along with them, allowing their consciousness to be permeated by what I like to call, ‘pre-packaged thoughts’ (i.e. thoughts that were manufactured by a source other than the entity thinking them, with the intent to influence the masses).

Thus, once the initial thought has been injected into stream of human consciousness via any of the outlets mentioned above, a chain reaction begins whereby those most susceptible to receiving and acting upon those messages, begin propagating them through their individual expression (which needless to say, is no longer original at this point, but rather a photocopy of the carefully designed message which was fed to them).

Word-of-mouth is likely the #1 method through which these messages are propagated within the human network of consciousness.

Think about it.

You hear something on TV about how women prefer men who are rich and successful. Since it was a third-person who said it on a trusty platform like television, it must be true right? How could it not?

So you adopt the statement as your truth (this is unless you actively discern and counter it within your mind). Interestingly, the more you can relate to the character who made the statement, based on demographics and personality, the more you are to adopt the belief.

And this is the belief you carry in your mind from there on forth.

Since this is your belief, it has become part of your subconscious mind, and it is bound to come out sooner or later in a conversation with a friend, getting more and more ingrained over time depending on the validation (aka confirmation) the belief receives from the people you talk to.

These are the basics of how external influences create targeted beliefs within the human consciousness and how they spread throughout the network of human minds.

Now, I don’t know about you, but the media within the last 10-15 years has become increasingly vulgar. There are more and more open displays of nudity, violence, aggression, untasteful slang, disrespectful and derogative terms directed at women, men, and minorities, and parents being presented in a silly, disempowered light.

All these things should raise an eyebrow for the awake and aware mind.

The subconscious part of our mind works in terms of images and words. It is always listening and never asleep. Sitting in front of the television, our mind tends to go into a trance. In fact, a lot of television shows and music are laced with certain frequencies and subliminals to make our mind more susceptible to the messaging within that program.

If people nowadays are consuming this content on a regular basis, imagine the impact it is having on collective values.

Imagine the impact it is having on the younger generations, the youth, who grow up watching this content with no other truth to compare it to. Their minds are the most susceptible as they are still learning about the outside world and forming their sense of self based off their observations.

It really is a shame that this is what they’re being fed.

Of course, through the themes which are manifest within popular television, we can see that the younger generations, Gen Y and onward, are the ones who are intended to be impacted the most, because they will set the foundation for the new way of thinking and doing things.

Nonetheless, those susceptible within the older generations (usually those with a mindset of wanting to be modern and in-style) are still targeted through content showcasing characters of that age group saying and doing things that fit within the agenda.

If you observe people in popular cities anywhere in the world, you will clearly notice an overarching capitalistic, commercialized mindset that has become devoid of higher thinking and eroded of virtues.

People have become increasingly rude and self-oriented, consumed by thoughts of carnal desire, excessively focused on physical appearance, brands and material gain, more aggressive and irrational, and arrogant and judgmental. Contrarily, they are less virtuous and eager to help others, decreasingly kind and people-oriented, less likely to see or even look out for the suffering of others, and less likely to be generous in their appraisals of others.

It is a sad reality.

The saddest part is that people don’t even know this is happening to them and those around them.

They are going about living their normal, everyday lives, doing the things they think humans are supposed to do like work, watch TV, talk to their friends and shop, all the while feeling increasingly depressed and discontented with their lives.

Depression rates are at an all-time high.

If you observe men and women and even teenagers nowadays within the age range of 13-30, you will notice an increased focus on wanting to appear physically attractive and assessing other people based on their outward appearance, paired with an increased focus on physical pleasure.

Don’t you see what this is doing?

People are objectifying themselves and other human beings – rating them based on something superficial and ephemeral, all the while disrespecting the temple which is their physical body.

They don’t know any better.

 Most don’t stop to question the trend.

They think that others are doing it, so why not go along with it?

It’s too mainstream and widespread for people to want to question it. Especially if generations before them are not stopping to question it enough to propose a contrary opinion.

People go with what is familiar and what is available.

Yet most are feeling that something is not quite right on the inside. I mean, the depression rates speak for themselves.

The song ‘Shape of You’ has become an international hit over the past few years, with even kids aged 7 and under singing it like a nursery rhyme! Although the tune is catchy, what message is it really promoting?

Hookup culture is more common than ever, in fact participating in it is glorified on college campuses and seen as being in the ‘in-crowd’.

In some cases, it is even viewed as a sign of female empowerment.

…HUH?

How is carelessly giving away your intimate energy (your life force), empowerment?

See, most only see the surface. They think that not waiting to ‘lose your virginity’ within a committed relationship is female progression because females can now make their own choices, whereas before they used to be subject to the decisions a man, whether their father or husband, made for them.

What they don’t see beneath the surface, is the agenda all this is really propagating and more importantly, the impact that it is having on younger generations of females.

Look around.

High school, college, and even middle-school-aged females nowadays think that hopping in bed with someone attractive is commendable and a way of receiving recognition and praise from their friend group. In other words, sharing your hormones and being frivolous with your sexual energy has become a way of boosting your ego now among women, getting them to match the standard which has been common for men.

Female progression is being confused with becoming like men. Gender equality is being muddled with replicating masculine energy. Masculine and Feminine energies exist as a duality for a reason (see The Duality of Feminine and Masculine Energies). They complement one another. It is the way the universe was designed. Hence, having masculine and feminine traits evident within society is natural.

Yet, what we see happening is a destruction of feminine energy altogether, whilst gradually shaping it into masculine energy in the name of ‘female empowerment.’ (see The Subtle Erosion of the Feminine Principle).

In some content, we even see parents becoming the subject of derision by their own kids who act like the boss for the day. Take the movie Yes Day for example, which consists of a mayhem of crazy activities and messes that kids generate, all because the parents have decided to say ‘yes’ to all their requests for a day. Although movies like these can seem entertaining and harmless, they promote an image of passive parenting and disobedience on behalf of children. Children’s minds are highly impressionable, and content like this can have a significant impact on a child’s developing personality and expectations when it comes to their own parents.

Modern-day content also sadly promotes derogatory and racist vocabulary like ‘nigger’ and ‘bitch’ which may be considered slang terms used to coolly address a black male and a female friend, respectively, but the undertone is nonetheless jarring, detached, and disrespectful. In a similar vein, we also see some content that explicitly expresses racist viewpoints toward characters who are not white. For instance, a movie (I cannot remember which one, but likely one of the mean girl movies) with a nail salon scene in which a white female getting pedicured by an Asian woman, smugly expresses to her white female possie, “[It’s so sad when they change their names.]”, alluding to how some Asian people choose to adopt American names in place of their original cultural name.

Similarly, in the nail salon scene in the movie Sisters, the blond, white female directly asks the Korean woman performing her pedicure, “Is that your real name? What is your Korean name?” All the while, the Korean woman is presented as having a neutral expression on her face, appearing comical through her bland tone. Although the scene is intended to be comedic, we must keep in mind that assuming that someone who does not appear ‘white’ and has an American name, must have another culturally inherited name that is ‘real’, is a racial prejudice. The scene furthermore contains an untasteful racial interplay of power (i.e. “Do they pay you well?” asks the blond woman to the pedicurist).

There are a whole lot more themes I want to touch on when it comes to the programming (often the poisoning) of consciousness, and I will do so one by one in future blog posts.

For now, bear in mind that your consciousness is your own energetic fingerprint. It is the essence of who you are. You are supposed to be the sole authority over what you allow into it, yet as we have covered, there are influences that work to subtly gain units of authority within your mind.
