See No Evil, Hear No Evil, Speak No Evil
Mahatma Gandhi.
Fake news, rumors, gossip, and lies disrupt and ruin people’s lives, affect people’s productivity, sickness, and losses, and even destabilize established democracies. It used to be before the advent of social media that some people always tended to make up stories without even thinking about the consequences of their lies. Because there were no social media, these lies would spread much more slowly to have any significant impact. But with social media users everywhere, lies and misinformation gets propagated faster than the television news or the print media. The damage is so severe, especially when people in power use misinformation as a pollical strategy to hurt brilliant people’s nations, opponents, and careers. This kind of behavior stems from an extremely narrow-minded, self-egregious behavior. The social media moguls are so interested in making money that they do not even care to control the dissemination of lies in the name of freedom of speech. Yes, freedom of speech is essential, but when abused intentionally for selfish reasons, there must be a mechanism to either neutralize it with facts or discredit them.
An alternative is a voluntary appeal to the Supreme Power for each of us to discern the Truth. Since God, the Divine Mind, knows facts versus lies, if we seek His help, we will be informed of the lies right away. How does that happen? When it interacts with the human Mind and thoughts are passed on, the divine Mind will react and feel in two different ways. If it is the Truth, we will have a pleasant and good feeling. If it is a lie, we will have an unsettling, discordant feeling, and our behavior will become angry, boisterous, and impatient. At this point, it develops even hatred towards those who disagree. It could eventually lead to mental madness. When adopted by many people, these qualities and their Thinking lead to manifestations of the now prevalent pandemic, wars, turbulence in weather patterns, etc. Suppose a large majority would understand Spiritual Thinking and practice synchronization of our human thoughts with affirmations of one reality and Truth and prayers to reinforce that Thinking. In that case, all these discordant manifestations will disappear, and we can all unite as one nation and one world, with God as the Supreme ruler. While this is a lofty goal, it is attainable by transforming one individual at a time. God willing this can happen fast, and all disharmonies can be eliminated, and even the culprits who start these can be healed. With God, everything is possible. That is why Spiritual Thinking is a beautiful way to combat Fake news.
