Momentum and consciousness has inertia and power. We are on fourth density earth, yet we manifest third density because of our consciousness. All is interrelated (For All is One). We are all mirrors for one another. Our energy effects each other. Yet when we do not realize it, it is too easy to fall into the group consciousness without even realizing it.
I think the cognitive dissonance we see is because people, at some level, are stuck thinking the ways others do. And they do not realize the effect of the mass consciousness and how it shapes their beliefs.
To most, these inconsistent beliefs are perfectly consistent and reasonable. Because, after all, others believe the same thing as well. Therefore, it must be consistent. But as I said, it's not a rational thing. It's a group think / energy transferring / mirroring / mass consciousness thing. Psychology explores this area of human nature when it tried to understand how everyday people went along with the atrocities of the Nazi Regime.
It is useful to learn to distrust group think - not that it is inherently bad, much like power is not inherently bad, but it has a tendency in this day and age to mislead one. I think part of being awakened as thinking outside the box. You hear that term a lot "thinking outside the box" in a lot of different areas, but sadly you see it put into practice by people on the street. I'm sure that day will come though, and I look forward to it
.
I think in conclusion, we speak up. Not self-righteously, but to open a door for those who wish to think outside the box to be able to do so. It's not so much as which position you support that constitutes thinking outside the box, but the philosophy that gives rise to the position. And I think that's much needed in this world - people think not just about the issues, but the deeper philosophical decisions as to the person they wish to become and the society they wish to live in. I think we'll be there sooner than we release. I have much faith in our youth
