Is Truth Telling the Solution?

+ Hydroponics and Part 2 of LoA: Science vs. Deception

Greetings to all,

No, I am not going to start sending newsletters every day, I don’t have a staff for that. I am working on editing my 4-part series about the Law of Attraction: Science vs. Deception, and will be sending it along the week.

I’ve loved Mattias Desmet’s book The Psychology of Totalitarianism, and am looking forward to his new endeavor about truth telling.

Yes, people are awakening to the lies that pervade society today. I believed it truly got into gear with Edward Bernays’ book Propaganda. Most everything has become manipulation and it is difficult at times to separate truth from lies.

Since the 1950s, consumerism has sky-rocketed. The bread-winners, usually men at that time, have been working longer and longer hours to “keep up with the Jones.”

When that became impossible, women entered the work force. Homemakers were discredited as “not contributing” to society. What did “outside of the home working women contribute? First, more taxes for the government.

Now, don’t get me wrong. I am not against “working women,” especially entrepreneurs. I believe we can find a balance.

However, when stay-at-home mothers are discredited for “only” contributing to making healthy meals, often gardening and preserving their own food, sewing and taking care of children, I have a problem.

Yes, that contribution can easily be replaced with prepared food that can be microwaved, cheap synthetic clothes from China, and early day-care to long hours of schools and after-school programs.

What are the results? A sick society that often does not realize it is feeding their bodies with non-foods, and children who are taught a lot of useless non-sense, in disregard of science and healthy living habits, unable to tackle the challenges of living and contributing to our community on this planet.

Neither men, nor women, nor children take the opportunity to spend time in nature, one of the best ways to relax and decompress. Instead, we have a society who pops pills to wake up, and pills to slow down.

Two of my strong beliefs regarding the build-up of a great society are:

1. We need a return to nature

2. We need to build strong families/communities again

Here is a 20-min. interview of Mattias Desmet talking about a return to truth-telling. Very inspiring and encouraging.

I did not plant kale this time, as it did not give me much of a harvest. Kale seems to be better suited for regular gardening, tower gardening, or a different type of hydroponics. It got too tall in these units, which was detrimental to the rest. My salads are growing. Here they are at 14 days. I’ll be harvesting soon.

For my paid subscribers, here is the 2nd installment of the Science behind the Law of Attraction. In this part, we go into how propaganda has shaped today’s society.
