What is humanity doing to build a consciousness that is creating so much censorship?
How common is it for people to be over-controlling, criticizing, and gossipy? These are all forms of censorship. We’re deciding what other people should be doing and thinking. Why are so many world leaders trying to control our lives in the same manner, with their beliefs?
How many try to “be helpful” by deciding how someone else should do everything? I see a parent decide, tell, and do everything for her very capable honors university student daughter, who will only choose a husband that continues this and does all her thinking for her, until one day she wakes up and wonders where her life went that she never lived. This is censorship of her life.
What is criticism and judgement but deciding how someone else should think and act? The same for gossip. What is interrupting other people as a constant habit but allowing only space for your way of thinking?
When I stopped controlling it became a beautiful thing of joy, awe, curiosity and wonder to get to see my children, family and friends express who they really were, a god-given, humanitarian first principle – free will. It is a huge joy every day at every age to see them grow and express their true selves. It is a beautiful thing to do for the feelings created in me and them.
It also includes acceptance and trust that others will make mistakes and have opportunities to learn and grow, build self confidence, and self awareness, like every other human on the planet. We can make suggestions and have good discussions, communications coming from a positive place (note where you feel it in your body), then we must let go.
This is how we change the wave of censorship and control in our current consciousness. Changing the world starts with each one of us as individuals, not the other way around like we used to believe.
