The Radicalisation Of the Mind

Radical: change relating to the fundamental nature of something; far-reaching or thorough.

The mind is a faculty which perceives through the senses and store information, observed by unadulterated consciousness. That is what we are – pure consciousness. This is our normality. Through persistent misinformation about our reality, however, our minds are stimulated, and we become radicalised; consciousness adopts a persona, a self, a behaviour.

Unadulterated consciousness is like a baby, innocent but learning to cling to toys (ideas) by believing them to be real, and so consciousness wears a self-identity.

We become radicalised through fashion.

Fashion – ‘to make happen’ – creates excitement, and then fashion – ‘to make happen’ – changes. What we were told was good now becomes bad, and what we were told was bad is now good, thus confusing and dividing society. For example, sexualisation can be moulded/fashioned to excite, and is then demonised.

The vulnerable are left hanging in confusion.
The do-gooders point the finger.
The fashion-makers bank their winnings and gain more power.
The fashioners and influencers radicalise the common mind.

We all become caught up in radicalisation and are swayed to go one way, to then be driven another. This creates zealots and victims, and both inflict deep wounds.

Being human means being easily addicted to belief because we lack clarity of reality. We learn songs in childhood that pledge allegiance to country and religion, building a foundation for future confusion.

All this either keeps us busy as we become involved, or sends us to sleep with a feeling that it’s “nothing to do with me”. Either way, it turns our attention away from our true reality.

This is world history, and about as enlightening as gaily-coloured carousel, going up and down and round and round, while we fail to notice that we can get off at any time.
