Ego-Mind Controls and Manipulates With Fear and Lately COVID 19 Fear
I wrote the content below when COVID 19 was much more prevalent, with lock-downs, mask or not to mask controversies, etc. Now in 2024, it's become endemic, just not quite as widespread. Getting the latest vaccine for COVID's latest variant is sensible, as is getting a flu vaccine.
I'm not a medical professional. A doctor and I were discussing the fear and panic associated with COVID 19 while at a routine check up.
He said COVID 19 is going to do what it does regardless of all the money the government throughs at it and then it will become a memory.
We know COVID 19 is particularly fatal when infecting elderly people living in nursing homes and those with underlying health challenges, especially obesity.
Having visited persons living in nursing homes, I believe dying from COVID 19 which causes death through pneumonia (which used to be called "the old man's friend" because it was considered a relatively good way to die) would be for many nursing home residents a welcome blessing.
People aren't living in a nursing home for fun. Most are waiting to die.
However with all the advanced medical procedures associated with dying from pneumonia today, dying from pneumonia may have become an horrific experience.
The reason for suppressing the rate of infection is so hospitals can treat those who doctors believe need to be put on ventilators etcetera without being overwhelmed.
Explaining this from the beginning would have been helpful.
The panic inducing draconian measures have caused people to believe COVID 19 must be a very serious and deadly disease, which it is not for most of those infected.
Most humans are very group oriented and delete information that conflicts with what their respective group has concluded which often results in unfortunate outcomes.
This is why explaining the reason for suppressing the rate of infection in the beginning of the outbreak would have been so helpful.
Once people reach a conclusion about something they will stubbornly delete information that conflicts with that conclusion regardless of the facts.
Being a nonconformist who is relatively immune to the effects of groupthink, I am compelled to post the following.
Fantasized Experience Appearing Real is what fear is. It is helpful in limited ways.
Back in our hunter-gatherer days it kept us from being eaten, poisoned, or injured in numerous ways.
In our modern world fear is mostly unfounded and can severely limit our range of experiences keeping us from leading more fulfilling lives.
As I write this the world is in a fearful state over COVID 19 AKA the novel coronavirus.
This virus causes a respiratory infection that is described as relatively mild in the majority of cases. Some people, especially children, who test positive for the virus are entirely without symptoms.
Children infected with COVID 19 often are asymptomatic and recover with no treatment. This is significant since children and the elderly are most at risk from diseases such as influenza and food borne illnesses.
It is therefore likely many people are being infected with COVID 19 and getting over it without their knowledge of having being infected.
Being that this virus produces symptoms similar to the common cold or flu, it is also likely people who were infected with COVID 19 thought they just had a cold or flu and got over it.
Furthermore, considering the hassle involved in being diagnosed with COVID 19 in countries such as China, people who suspect they may have it are keeping silent.
Considering these facts objectively, the statistics regarding COVID 19 we are getting from the World Health Organization are very likely invalid and/or inflated.
Perhaps we need to consider who materially benefits by promoting the hysterical fear associated with COVID19.
Ego-Mind is the ultimate beneficiary. We have an ancestral memory of numerous horrific events associated with widespread disease outbreaks causing massive death and hardship.
Ego-Mind uses this sort of thing to reinforce body identification and fear of death.
Witness Ego-Mind nonjudgmentally.
Eventually you will Self-identify with your nonjudgmental Witness and your Ego-Mind will become simply your ego-mind and will be perceived as a great source of entertainment rather than fearful ideations.
