We’re almost a month into 2025. Let’s all see what this year holds. I’m not just talking about what this year holds in terms of media- spewed political and public controversies, fear-mongering, puppet and non puppet but partially neutered celebrities’ stories, celebrity beefs, divisive stories designed to get us fighting and media lies and propaganda. I’m also talking about what this new year holds in terms all of our collective lives, individually and respectively. That means our personal lives of growth, goal fulfillment, and dealing with personal setbacks and breakthroughs outside of whatever BS that little square box in our living rooms we call a television tries to dictate to us that our lives entails.
Also, outside of what that little rectangular object we call a smart phone tries to dictate to us. “The news” will definitely try to scare you and make you think the world is coming to an end. But you have the power to control your life through hard work and manifesting your own reality through focusing your thoughts, intentions, and actions on your desired agenda and outcome.
That means focus on your agenda and goals and not be so overly consumed with the latest contrived controversy, cherry-picked tragedy, and distorted news that the media tries to feed you with.
You have the power to control your life and you can dictate what you feed your eyes, mind, and heart. I know older people and misguided, semi-enlightened younger people say you have to watch the news to see “what’s going on in the world.” There are 8 billion people on this planet we call a world. There are plenty of topics of interest happening across this world that could easily make the “news.”
It doesn’t make the news because the 6 corporations that control all the mainstream media, and our minds and emotions too, for that matter, decides what’s news and what isn’t news.
I remember all the public controversies and tragedies that happened in 2020. I also remember those propaganda jokey joke memes on social media implying how 2020 is a rough year for all of us based on public controversies surrounding politics and celebrities. They were basically trying to condition your mind to believe that you were having a bad year based on what was happening in the news.
So some of you might have gotten married, birthed a child, received a job promotion, became a millionaire, accomplished your weight loss goals, became a first time homeowner, or any other achievement in 2020. But because of that Covid scare, the quarantine lock down, and those staged political protests and riots, I’m supposed to feel I’m having a bad year? So because the liberal media feigned sympathy and outrage over police brutality that they overly publicized only to get Black people to vote Democrat again on election year, the conservative media expressing sincere joy and indifference at police brutality against Blacks to get their base of redneck bigots to vote Republican again on election year, I’m supposed to feel I’m having a bad year? Yeah. Ok.
Rest In peace to Kobe “Bean” Bryant, his daughter Gianna Bryant, and the other members of that plane crash on January 26, 2020. While most would correctly say Kobe and his daughter’s passing in that plane crash was a tragedy for that year while mentally forcing themselves to feel the same way for the other 7 non-famous casualties, Kobe’s friends and family who knew him personally, can legit add that to their reasoning of having a bad year.
To them Kobe wasn’t just some dude they saw on TV score 40 points in a basketball game, read stories about, and watch give interviews. They have personal contact with him.
Just as the friends and family members of the other non-public celebrities who passed on felt it more personal than a person they only saw on TV and saw casually in passing.
Hopefully no celebrity passes away prematurely by sickness, violent accident, murder, or planned assassination this year. But if it does, let those involuntary negative emotions pass, and stay prayed up and try to stay positive and detach yourself emotionally from the “news.”
Stay blessed everyone. Watch the news not to see what’s going on in the world, but to see what emotion they are trying to evoke, what agenda they are pushing, and what mental trickery they are pushing. Don’t watch the news too much. “The news” is to the mind and heart what fast food is to the body. Stay mentally and emotionally attached to your own personal agenda, stay slightly mentally attached to what their stupid asses are trying to push while remaining emotionally detached from them. The metaphysical rule is he who makes you mad is your master.
