Some time ago I was at a yoga class and the teacher finished the class with a prayer in which she also said: “Let’s be conscious of what we say, and if we don’t have anything nice to say, it’s better to be silent”. That is a good example of the distortion of “being conscious/aware” and relates to the fact why more spiritual-minded people don’t look at the world more objectively, speaking out and standing up against the lies and psychopathic ways of our culture. Because it’s not “nice” to state that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza based on the racist ideology of Zionism. It’s not “nice” to say that Obama is a pathological liar and that the US is controlled by Zionist forces. It’s not “nice” to point out that 4- 6% of humanity have no conscience by birth and are mostly found in positions of power. It’s not “nice” to claim that the official 9/11 story is a blatant lie. Not only is it not nice, it’s also being “negative” or it is “conspiracy nonsense” according to some people’s convoluted perception who never researched these topics in-depth, hence one should not say anything at all. This attitude of contrived “niceness” essentially creates the conditions for conformity, complacency, authoritarian followers, ignorance, the atrophy of critical thinking, and only fuels the oppression and atrocities we see in Gaza right now and in the world at large. This doesn’t mean that one should be mean, aggressive and rude or push information on someone who didn’t ask for it. It simply means to be sincere and honest with conscience and awareness. There is a time to speak up and a time to be silent. And sometimes you have to be direct, call a spade a spade and give the lie what it deserves: the truth, regardless of what others may think, even if it doesn’t sound “nice” and it doesn’t conform to what someone “likes” to hear.
