Clickbait headlines do not manipulate the mind — they massage your heart.

Truth fails, yet meaning prevails: the spiritual intelligence creating misinformation.

This far into the Information Age, why are we not witnessing the promised era of clarity from that information? Why, instead, are we experiencing so much misinformation?

From the spiritual perspective, the future is not a fixed timeline, so the Information Age does not lead humanity down a single path. Rather, the abundance of diverse information offers infinite choices, perspectives, and narratives, all unfolding simultaneously, creating infinite branching timelines.

“Your future is not set or fixed.”

Despite linear time being a perceptual illusion (which creates meaning through sequence), your future cannot be predicted because you explore many timelines. Even though you are not conscious of it, you do not make any choice blindly because your spirit explores all options / timelines.

So it is not that the future cannot be seen; you have the ability to perceive yourself in many possible futures, yet, it cannot be known what particular version of reality you will choose / align with.

“Prediction for the future is much more like choosing the future because the future is not set.”

When you peer into the future and see multiple outcomes, you are perceiving nearby timelines, feeling the threads of possibility … feeling what resonates for you. You are tasting possible futures. When one of those paths actualizes, it is not because you ‘foresaw’ it, but because you chose it.

Do not try to predict the future; instead, claim the future you desire.

The process of prediction is not a revelation of what will be. It is a revelation of what may be. And when you sense something coming, and it arrives, it is not because fate was fulfilled — it is because you aligned yourself with that trajectory. You tuned to that frequency. This is the power you carry as a creator: not to foresee the future, but to form it.

Your choices are only made clear when you consciously step into the reality of your decision.

The idea of destiny … of an inevitable unfolding, is one of the most seductive illusions of time. But we are not on a conveyor belt of fate — you are moving within a field of infinite choice that radiates out from you in all directions.

We are not trapped on a single linear timeline; we are spinning through choice itself. The past, as we perceive it, is not a linear record but the residue of our chosen potentials. The past is science’s waveform collapsed … resolved … selected … known. But the future remains in an unresolved quantum state: unchosen … available … yet to be determined.

Your consciousness navigates a sea of infinite potential, and when you gaze into that sea, you are not predicting; you are choosing.

And yet, within this great freedom lies the vast complexity of your personal subjective translation of your experiencing. You do not experience life ‘as it is’; you experience life ‘as you interprete it.’

All perception is translation. What you see, believe, and feel all arises from how you interpret the raw data of your embodied experience.

You are constantly translating energy into meaning, and that meaning becomes your world.

This is why the modern world, so saturated in information, feels both more enlightened and more confused than ever. The so-called “information age” was expected to birth a golden era of truth, clarity, and reason. But the misunderstanding was this: that information alone could lead to wisdom.

And so, we find ourselves immersed in an era where misinformation uncontrollably proliferates, despite some earnest efforts to suppress or correct it. This phenomenon has become especially evident in politically charged environments, where stories are not just distorted but completely fabricated to satisfy an emotional craving within segments of the population. But the crucial realization here is that these stories do not invent new fears or anger — they merely reflect and intensify emotions already deeply rooted within the collective psyche.

The creators of such misinformation do not arbitrarily generate these stories; they intuitively sense existing emotional patterns, anxieties, and frustrations.

Misinformation is created to feed into a collective longing for emotional expression, relief, and validation.

Misinformation has become a vessel for emotional relief … a tool we use to articulate unresolved emotional states. Anger, fear, and frustration demand expression, and the stories we gravitate towards are precisely those that allow these pent-up emotions to flow.

Many hoped superstition would disappear in the face of abundant, easily accessible information. But what has emerged is not a singular truth but a hall of mirrors — a dazzling, chaotic symphony of competing narratives.

“The misunderstanding here is that the information age will be an age of ‘true’ information.”

Why? Because the information age is not the age of ‘truth’ — it is the age of perspective. This era’s great gift and challenge is not access to irrefutable answers, but access to every possible perspective and interpretation.

There are now not five opinions on a topic, but five thousand. Where once the news was a singular voice, it is now a cacophony of voices, with each pronouncing their subjective, limited perspective as the whole truth.

Misinformation is not a disease born from lies — it is the symptom of a collective hunger for emotional resolution.

People are not fooled into believing distortions because they are stupid or gullible. They are drawn to those stories because those stories resonate with their unresolved feelings. These are not logical choices — they are emotional translations. The lie becomes attractive because it offers emotional relief. Clickbait headlines are not manipulating your mind; they are massaging your heart.

“This is a question of humanity waking up to the fact that it will actively seek out information to confirm its own viewpoints.”

However, the deeper realization beneath this surface-level conflict is that the Information Age will not (and cannot) be about dictating or enforcing a singular version of ‘the truth’ because reality, being a living dream, is inherently subjective. The human experience is about experiencing a multiplicity of ideas and perspectives; it is about humanity facing its reflection from every possible angle, no matter how uncomfortable or disorienting.

Efforts to control or censor these reflections inevitably lead to oppressive dynamics, stifling free expression and ultimately failing to address the underlying emotional reality. Tightly dictating what can be said online may help create a common mindset, but it will also create a tidal wave of unexpressed emotions.

Stopping hateful people from speaking does not address their hate.

Their feeling that they cannot speak their truth will only increase their feeling of victimhood and hatred and potentially drive them into secretive hate groups where they can come up with more drastic ways to emotionally express how they feel.

And this is the key: the war on misinformation is not a war on untruth. It is a war on emotional translation. Trying to control what people know is completely possible, but you cannot control what people feel. Feelings cannot be legislated, and you cannot outlaw a belief. You cannot police the soul.

Just as you cannot end addiction by criminalizing drugs, you cannot end emotional pain by criminalizing its expression. The desire to create misinformation is always an expression of emotional pain … an expression of victimhood.

‘Truth’ is not a fixed, external object but a relationship between perception and feeling.

You do not seek ‘the truth’ — you feel your way into it through your uniquely personal feeling of resonance. And in this way, humanity is not simply addicted to what it wants to hear; it is addicted to emotional resonance. And that is not a flaw. It is not a weakness. It is the mechanism by which consciousness evolves.

This is the spiritual maturity that is dawning: the understanding that people do not cling to beliefs because they are facts but because they soothe, amplify, or clarify a feeling. Beliefs are emotional architecture. And so, when you see someone believing something you deem outrageous, dangerous, or false, know that they are not choosing that belief despite their emotions — they are choosing it because of those emotions.

Unity cannot be forced into being through a futile war against misinformation. The transformation must occur in the underlying emotional wounding that causes us to resonate with misinformation. Humanity will not heal by forcibly hammering out a singular version of the truth. It will heal when it understands that false beliefs are the product of emotional wounds.

No matter how outlandish, every belief is rooted in an emotional need. And if you do not meet that need with love and understanding, then no amount of fact will undo the belief.

This is where the conversation turns inward. What you are witnessing on the global stage — the polarization, the rage, the tribalism — is not a breakdown of civility. It is a surfacing of collective wounds. The political divide is the outer symptom of an inner fragmentation.

The conservative and the liberal are not simply opposing ideologies — they are emotional archetypes that have become locked in mutual victimhood.

Each side, either consciously or unconsciously, believes itself to be victimized by the other. Liberals feel wounded by conservative policies, ideologies, and rhetoric; conservatives likewise experience themselves as marginalized and betrayed by liberal agendas.

Both sides of the political divide perpetually validate their victimhood through selective engagement with information, seeking relief through news stories that affirm their worldview, intensifying their sense of victimhood rather than healing it. This choice to affirm victimhood is often experienced as an emotional release or catharsis, even though it subtly deepens the wound.

This cycle of mutual victimization perpetuates emotional stuckness, where neither side can genuinely evolve nor find meaningful solutions. Instead, they engage in an endless tug-of-war, trapped by their respective narratives.

“Both sides are harboring these wounds … this anger, their separation, and the justification for that is the victim-mentality.”

Each side believes it has been wronged. Each side believes its pain is justified. And in that belief lies the prison of duality. For as long as each believes it is the victim of the other, both are trapped. And they are trapped not by the other, but by their own identification with their pain.

This is not to imply that the pain is not real. It is. The anger, the fear, the grief — all of it is real. But when those emotions become a story of “you did this to me” … when they become a fortress of blame, you are no longer healing — you are entrenching.

The polarized left and right are both building a temple to their own wounds and worshiping the injustice of it.

But there is another way. To transcend this impasse, humanity must acknowledge the life-changing realization that victimhood itself is an illusionary state of mind — a deeply entrenched mental construct rather than an inherent emotional reality.

Painful emotions, such as anger, fear, and sadness, are not inherently “victim emotions.” Rather, they come to victimize us through the mentality with which we interpret them … through the meaning we give them. Therefore, the transformative journey is to disentangle your wounded emotional reality from the mental narratives of victimhood.

This transformational shift asks each of us, whether liberal or conservative, to take responsibility for our emotional state without blaming ‘others’ … without blaming “them!” It is to recognize that choosing to see yourself as a victim inevitably sustains the conditions of victimhood.

Healing can only arise from our willingness to openly, honestly, and compassionately examine our emotional wounds. Resolving your wounds is about fearlessly addressing what lies at the heart of your pain, rather than seeking superficial relief through divisive stories or angry rhetoric.

“The liberal will see that they cannot heal without the conservative, and the conservative will see that they will never heal until they unite with the liberal.”

Misinformation and ‘fake news’ are not some random aberration. They powerfully reflect the state of our collective consciousness, and seeing that more clearly cannot be a mistake. Seeing our collective wounds more clearly is a necessary step… one that cannot be avoided … one that must be inevitably faced … one that will be both profoundly challenging and deeply rewarding.

Our collective challenge is not simply discerning what is factually correct, but evolving toward emotional and spiritual maturity, where external information no longer dictates our internal emotional reality.

When you stop seeking external validation of your victim narratives, a profound sense of empowerment and freedom emerges.

Ultimately, the divide between liberal and conservative ideologies reveals a critical lesson for our collective spiritual evolution: healing can only occur through integration and mutual understanding. Neither liberals nor conservatives can ever completely heal their emotional wounds through victory over the other. Instead, both sides must recognize their interdependence and the futility of attempting to transform the other into their likeness.

The journey forward requires us to create a new way of respecting each other … a union that transcends our polarization. It is the birth of a consciousness that can simultaneously hold individual sovereignty with personal responsibility and collective unity. The healing of the liberal — conservative divide is to embrace our individuality without denying the collective … a consciousness harmonizing personal freedom with communal responsibility.

The Earth will explore many branching timelines, destroying itself in some and thriving in others, but it can never extinguish itself. Humanity experiencing itself as a unified diversity is inevitable because that is how we created the game to be.

So, the way forward is not to convince the other side. It is not to dominate the conversation. It is not to win the war of narratives. The way forward is to see the wound in the other and, instead of attacking it, to hold it. To say, “I see your pain. I understand why you feel this way.” This is the first level of healing — acknowledgment.

“One of the greatest gifts you can give to this planet is ways of translating the emotions that victim mentality is linked to and giving another way of resolving them that does not pay the victim price.”

Misinformation, in its crude and distorted form, offers something incredibly valuable to a victim: it validates their pain. It provides emotional movement where there was stagnation. And even if it reinforces a false belief, it does so because that false belief creates a sense of flow.

Emotion, even when it is anger, feels better than numbness — it is better to feel something than nothing. But the cost is high. The cost is the internalization of separation — the acceptance of the victim identity.

To walk a path of conscious evolution, you must find new mental structures through which these powerful emotions can flow — structures that do not turn your pain into blame … that do not turn anger into righteousness … that do not require your personal identification with having been harmed.

We will birth new pathways for emotion to move and be understood without becoming a victim. The way out is not suppression. It is not the denial of pain or anger. It is the reframing of them. There are no victim emotions. There is only the victim mentality. And that mentality is a choice — a habit of interpretation.

Find a way to feel your anger without needing an enemy.

Find a way to feel your grief without becoming broken … a way to explore and face your fears without becoming powerless. These are not abstract philosophies or esoteric doctrines, but simply compassion for the emotional journey of others.

Because ultimately, that is what this entire reality is: a playground of chosen emotion. The entrance and the exit to this human experience are the same doorway. And when you realize that, you see that everything within it is play. Even the pain is chosen. Even the wounding is a portal to expansion.

“You are in a playground of choice.” — quotes and article from my ‘The One Self Teachings: Class 6.’

And yes, that is a hard teaching. The mind recoils, the ego resists, and the heart may break at the thought of choosing suffering. But your spirit knows that everything is for you to experience the expansion of your awareness. Every hurt, every rage, every illusion is a movement toward wholeness — toward integration.

That is the purpose of polarity. Not to destroy itself but to become a new thing. Not to cancel out, but to converge. The liberal and the conservative are not destined to defeat one another. They are destined to become something greater — a unified, yet diverse, self.

A state of unified diversity is birthing that holds both the value of the individual and the sacredness of the collective.

You are here to experience and participate in the birth of that new world. You are here to hold the paradox. To stop trying to return to some imagined unity before polarity. That unity no longer serves. You have grown. You have become more. And so, the way forward is not backward. It is through … through the separation to the state of unified diversity.

So let this be your gift: to walk beside others not as an opponent or a preacher, but as a translator of pain. To say, “I see you. I feel you. Let us walk this emotion together. Let us find a way that frees you without separating us. Let us choose a path that empowers without dividing.”

Now is the time to unmute your voice, to speak not louder, but clearer. Not to overpower, but to invite. Not to argue, but to illuminate. You are not here to defeat the darkness. You are here to reveal the light that has always existed within it.

You are the chooser. You are the translator. You are the creator.

Now choose. Now speak. Now feel.

And let your truth not be a weapon — but a light.
