Be Careful What You Believe
Friday, June 13th, 2008On September 11th, 2001, my good friend and working associate Nicholas Frankl and I sat quietly eating our breakfast at the Embassy Suites hotel in lower Manhattan, New York. Little did we know, early that morning, what was about to unfold literally 100 meters from where we were sitting. I will not bore you with the details but I have never been the same person again. This horrifying experience changed me indefinitely and I’m sure nobody doubts its massive impact on the entire world.
Many people have suggested therapy to help me deal with the trauma, but I believe that reliving the experience over and over again within my mind will only make it worse. You have to put such experiences behind you, try to think about being grateful to have come out of it alive and try your best to make sure that the experience helps bring out the best in you by treating people better, and to try to make this world a better place. I simply refuse to give my attention and energy to the fear based evil that caused that world shattering event.
The problem is that time and time again I keep being reminding of the experience. I very much doubt if there was ever an event that got so much exposure in the news. The footage has being shown to us repeatedly during the past few years as if someone is making sure we don’t forget what actually happened on that day and yesterday was no exception.
For the first time since it was distributed in 2007, I saw the Zeitgeist movie. To view it please right click on the following link and select open hyperlink www.zeitgeistmovie.com I’m a little late I know but I’m not so sure that many of the people I’m about to send this e-mail to have seen it either. To be honest it left me dazed and confused, and I’m sure it will terrify some others. Now, I don’t want to be at best an alarmist, at worst crazy, or that I believe or embrace everything in this film. However, I am certain of one thing only, that this film hit so many sensitive points within me that I felt people just had to see it, not to absorb these conclusions, but to begin drawing their own. In my humble opinion this movie is simply what it is, a reflection of this particular time and condition of the world that we live in, while at the same time serving as a tool of transformation or wake-up call. For we really need to wake up you and I, its time for all of us to question everything we are being told, to learn to think differently, to think about what’s possible rather than what’s impossible. To expand our minds, and with that transform our lives and the lives of all the people we touch.
If you do get the chance to see this movie and would like to comment for or against it, please feel free to do so by logging on to my blog on blog.inspireyourmind.com. I am genuinely interested in what you have to say and would appreciate it if you could continue to pass this knowledge forward and assist me in continuing to expand my ‘Inspiring Minds’ global network.
