The Destruction and Resurrection of Critical Thinking

Do you believe that to be effective in all areas of life, there is a need for critical thinking skills?
If yes, what does this really mean?
Critical thinking to me means being able to look at a situation from all angles, beyond the superficial and ask questions, sometimes probing ones that allow you to gain important information about a situation that may not be obvious on the surface.?
Critical thinking also means not automatically accepting the opinion of others such as people in “authority“ but being capable of some independent thought.?Do you agree?
When you were in college you probably had some instructors who challenged you along these lines and encouraged some independent or original thinking, perhaps to do some research that might uncover information that was not commonly known. Ring a bell?
What happened to this skillset? There is strong evidence that it has somehow been abandoned, specifically where needed the most such as in life and death situations many people are facing today.
Before going into the reasons why critical thinking has become abandoned for so many educated people, I will share one example of how this phenomenon has manifested itself.
Today there is a widespread belief that people “should” get a so-called Covid vaccine with the belief that it will protect you from an illness that was never isolated and which at most has only caused the death of .001% Of the population.
On the flip side, these so called vaccines are at best experimental, approved for emergency use only (which in fact has never existed) and have so many dangerous aspects to them that a person would need to be totally clueless to not investigate the ingredients and then automatically trust them for themselves and their children.?
A bystander with critical thinking skills intact would very likely label this pure insanity combined with criminally negligent behavior re your children.?
Nevertheless, we are now witnessing millions of people automatically accepting the voice of “authority” in this arena who have abandoned their critical thinking skills in what is clearly a life and death situation.
To me, this is a perfect example of millions abandoning critical thinking and replacing it with blind trust in authority and peer pressure.
Does it surprise you that there are hundreds of millions of people who feel a compelling need to go along with the crowd and who are terrified of being branded as a rebel??
At what price? Their lives and the lives of their children. It seems that many would rather die than appear to be a rebel opposing the dominant narrative. This situation reminds me of the Jonestown kool aid tragedy but on a massive global scale.

So the question is: how could there possibly be a phenomenon of “mind control” so powerful and pervasive that it would cause people to abandon their own innate conscious intelligence and just do what they’re told?
I’ve researched this question for many years and I can assure you the answer is actually quite deep, so much so that once you go down this rabbit hole you are going to discover many things that will likely shock you to your core.
Are you interested in learning what is really going on?
Are you willing to learn deeper truths about our world that affect you personally and profoundly??
Are you willing to wake up from your trance and reclaim your own natural abilities and instincts?
Would you like to resurrect your critical thinking skills and make decisions based on your own deepest truth.
I don't really care what decisions you make as much as I care about how you make them and the steps you go through internally to reach your own conclusions.
Without critical thinking skills you are essentially a robot or drone. I hope you will agree that in today’s world we do not need more drones.?
We need more independent minded, awake people with the ability to discern, analyze the complex things that are going on in our world who are willing to see the truth that is not easy to see but which our lives depend on seeing.
With this in mind, I created a 9 part video series from mind?control to freedom. It is available free for a limited time at lifecrafting.kartra.com/page/freedom
We also have a lively discussion group on the video series and related topics on the Telegram platform at https://t.me/Mindcontrol_to_freedom?
Hope you join us!
