Why Are Things Going Wrong?

Have you considered the fifth column(s)?
The means behind the scenes.
Whatever is happening will happen anyway; it always has.

“A fifth column is a group of people who undermine a larger group or nation from within, usually in favour of an enemy group or another nation.

“Their activities can be overt or clandestine, and can involve acts of sabotage, disinformation, espionage or terrorism, while secret sympathisers can mobilise openly to assist an external attack.”

What can we do?
Recognise that this is Mara at work.
Be aware of whatever is going on in our mind, and why.

We used to say, ‘Sticks and stones can break my bones but names will never hurt me.’ Now, names seem to hurt people, but they never noticed this change in events. That is the illusion that we live in.

George Orwell wrote about this in ‘Animal Farm’, when the pigs who were in charge stated, “Two legs bad, four legs good’ which later changed to “Four legs good, two legs better.” Once people are taught to believe, they will continue to believe.

We can tell people about a fifth column,
but they won’t see it as they’re living it.
