Bridging the Reality Gap: Sensory Overload and the Ostrich Effect

Bridging the Reality Gap - sensory Overload and the Ostrich Effect

By  Zen Gardner

Contributing Writer for  Wake Up World

Have you ever wondered why people struggle to make the leap to real awareness of what’s going on?

How can world conditions not completely startle someone into thinking clearly? Why do so few people seem to care about the dangers of the unreported radiation levels and toxic debris washing across the Pacific? Why are GMOs and EMFs considered sideline issues? How is it no-one but local residents raise the alarm about the horrific effects of the Gulf oil spill, and the poisonous seafood landing on American dinner tables?

As the Orwellian police state sweeps into place in the United States, the economy crumbles, and their faultless leader languishes on his latest vacation or exalted meeting, Americans are actually celebrating their entry into a brave new police state with minimal awareness of the true dangers – dissolving their health, wealth and chances for survival in an engineered conflagration of mythic proportions – that are already descending on their heads.  Buried heads, I might add.

Sensory Overload and the Ostrich Effect

As the gap between reality and manipulated public perception grows, it may just be too big a leap for many at this point. Having been dumbed down and unresponsive for so long, it’s too much for many to take in, never mind respond to…. Or so they’ve been conditioned to think.

Sad, but again, that’s the projected reality that many unconsciously adopt.

“Hey, why wake up when everything’s such a bummer if you do?” – That’s the underlying mentality. The thing is, this is a conditioned response. Overload and recoil. And it’s been going on a long, long time.

Why? Like the dumbing down effect of not just the manipulated media but fluoride and chemtrails and adulterated water and food, this continual conditioning eventually suppresses natural responses. When the real alert presents itself, the subject will not be able to react and protect himself, never mind mount a coordinated response.

Why all the dramatic end of the world sci-fi movies in popular culture at the moment? Why the emphasis on violence and horror movies and graphic, destructive wars? Why does the news focus only on the bad events of the day? Why the combative gladiator sports, emphasis on technology instead of humanity, and the mind-numbing crass consumerism and sexualization of society?

This is deliberate social engineering, and that’s the biggie. Conditioning.

It’s all engineered…. and that’s the last thing most people want to realize.  And it usually IS the last thing for those who refuse to see it sooner.

The Power of Cognitive Dissonance

The world has become essentially schizophrenic in outlook. Being told one thing while the exact opposite is happening before their eyes for so long, the “dissonance” created by this conflict causes humanity to shut down or accept a carefully synthesized solution. America is the perfect example. Fighting for freedom and liberty, they commit genocide and destroy nation after nation. To supposedly protect their liberties the government has overturned all of the basic human rights originally afforded via the Bill of Rights and the Constitution, however rigged it was.

cognitive-dissonance-theoryYes the populace sits and takes it. Why?

It’s too big of a leap.

If they realize they’ve been completely conned by a massive manipulated agenda, they may just completely break down. And subconsciously the horror of that reality is therefore a “no”. Most would rather pass on in a numb, however ill-founded false reality.  They’re at the point where, if all of this manipulation were true, they’d rather not know.

I’ll Take Conscious Reality

“Why all the negativity?” is what you’ll hear a lot of the time when you bring these things up. The answer is that what we’re trying to make known isn’t negative, it’s ignorance that’s negative. Truth is empowering, no matter how awful it may be sometimes. And at this point in history the more you learn the more negative it may seem, with the Controllers’ agenda in full, final-phase swing.

But so what. Keep learning and you’ll have that breakthrough into the wonders their veil has been hiding; the infinite well of our source of empowerment. The purpose of life is to rediscover who we truly are, and that wonderful awakening makes everything else pale in comparison. Our mission then becomes to inform and empower, share and encourage. The same one it has always been.

That it’s taking this kind of extreme compression to awaken the slumbering masses is really no surprise, and ultimately a gift from the Universe to help people back into the real world…. that of conscious loving awareness.

Awaken from slumber, one and all. Make the choice to do it now. That’s always the best time to awaken.

And once you find out, get your butt in gear telling others any way you can.

The storm is coming…. in fact, it’s clearly already here.

Spread the word, under any conditions.

Love, Zen

You Are The Awakening

Zen Gardner - You Are The Awakening (book)

Zen Gardner’s new book, ‘You Are The Awakening’, examines the dynamics of the awakening to a more conscious awareness of who we are and why we are here – dynamics which are much different from the programmed approach of this world we were born into.

In order to tap into the limitless source of our full potential, any change we seek in the world around us begins with each of us individually. Grounded in this understanding, ‘You Are The Awakening’ will help to inform, empower and encourage anyone who is on this wonderful path of realizing our infinite potential.

‘You Are The Awakening’ is available here on Amazon. You can also order your copy and read reviews from David Icke, Max Igan and many more, here on ZenGardner.com.

May these words inspire and empower you!
