by fiz on the benjamin fulford thread:

remaining intentionally open in cognitive uncertainty permits all possibilities their potential reality. cognitive uncertainty about reality is the mind's analogue to being ontologically open to emerging reality at the core.

standing in cognitive uncertainty takes work! so much so that i would so much prefer to have a story to believe....

but to believe prematurely information that has no evidence is to be knowingly immature in myself, and willing to sacrifice my sacrosanct free-will for a good story in its place. this level of subtle relinquishment of sovereignty at the level of information-reception is worth guarding against with sharpened awareness.

i would like to think that this way of reading current events -- vigilantly holding them in uncertainty as they continue to emerge and unfold -- may also be a positive way of participating in them, one that might maximize being open, and that this potent quality of being -- however cognitively uncertain it otherwise must be -- is itself a communicative, positive contribution in itself. fiz wrote this so eloquently, and this "way o' thinkin" can be applied everywhere with everything. i choose to remain open-minded on topics such as this, however, the fear message implied by "reptilian overlords" does not resonate with me; therefore, i choose not to dwell on nonsense like this that is out there. is it true? i don't know. is it false? i don't know. i place it in a realm of possibility that has its own place in my mind.

what else have i placed there? well, most anything that has a fear-basis. i believe it is important to analyze new information with an open mind and cross-check it with other information. if it fits, then i may look deeper. if not, i pass it aside and place it in the aforementioned realm of possibility.

the main difference being, information that does resonate, does "click" - i choose to focus on. most of this information can be connected to piece together my perception of reality, my individual interpretation of truth. this interpretation is constantly changing with new information, new experiences, but is being refined, sharpened.

so, if i may offer some advice - ask yourself these questions,

* * "who am i?"

* * "am i an instrument of love; a positive force in the evolution of spirit, growth of the universe?"

* * "if i could create the future, what would it be like?"

these are just a few of the questions we all may encounter on our journey. my reason for presenting them is that we can "link" information we uncover to these questions and others. so, in closing, the idea of reptilian overlords does not fit in the positive, loving universe that i choose to see, believe, create... i'm not a blind fool, there is evil out there. but, i fear it not. all of the members of this forum, and anyone dedicated to lightwork and the evolution of oneness has the power to master their fear and overcome it. each of us is very powerful, more so than we could ever imagine. so much so, that i do believe if we were to focus on fear and doomsday, then that is what the future will bring. fortunately, this isn't the case. :d

good luck in sorting through the information and formulating the answers for yourself. this forum is a great place to assist you, but ultimately, you define your own reality, as do each of us. :d
