Those of you who know me know that I do not tolerate lack-of-thinking well. How is it, then, that this lack-of-thinking has come to surround us all? I call it that, instead of 'stupidity' or 'ignorance', because that is what it is: pure lack of concious thought. Society now is more akin to that of knee-jerk reaction instead of thinking out the consequences of actions... and, I restate, how in the name of the Blessed Goddess did we arrive at this sad sad state of affairs?
It is simple. We, as a society, were led there. We gave up our power of cognitive conciousness to the television, and chose to accept blindly the spew that it produced. Since this is easily the third generation that has been enslaved to the Idiot Box, now we do not have the overall ability to question the pap that issues forth from it, infecting our souls to the point that we no longer communaly have the desire to further our own thinking processes.
This has allowed those who seek to control every aspect of our lives, virtually unlimited access to our concious thought, manipulating it in ways both subtle and overt. We heap praises upon a leader that sends our sons and daughters, our sisters and brothers, our husbands and wives, off to foreign lands so that they are put in harm's way... attacked by forces funded by the same governmental entities that placed our troops in these far-away places! And for what end? Certainly not the ideals of Freedom, Justice, Balance, and Harmony...
How, as Pagans in this modern age, can we attempt to bring this madness under control? Or, as some have asked of me, should it be brought under control at all?
We will discuss that in the next offering... until then, hold fast to your God or Goddess and the Magicks Mystical that bind us all together.
Blessed Be!
