A Title, Award, Fame, Power - All Distractions

What is keeping you from knowing the truth about a situation, family member, favorite entertainer, or even when it comes to your finances?  Sometimes it is the glitter and glitz of seeing a celebrity in person wearing an over-priced suit.  Other times you marvel over the many accomplishments of one who has name recognition from around the world.  Periodically, you might find yourself admiring the relationship of others so you permit that to sway you from researching anymore about truth, "Don't ask anymore questions," you warn yourself while in the presence of a relative or friend. 

Those that claim, "I don't care...I am not easily impressed with people..." are usually the ones that are often misled the minute their favorite person shows up with what they believe is trustworthy truth.  The best way to get to anyone, including a skeptic or one who considers his or her self wise, is to reach the ears of those who are closest to him or her with an unpleasant truth.  This is how one who we think is smart, popular, powerful and the like begins to take the slow or fast spiral downward in his or her family, career or elsewhere.  He or she listens without considering the source because well of course, "She is my dear friend of over ten years...He is trustworthy...I love them dearly, they would never..."  Far too many people are overly confident in flawed, money-loving, overly sexualized human beings with a weakness for the demonic.

Titles, awards, fame, power and other things that programmable puppets consider important are mere distractions.  A name without a title or something behind it that shouts, "You are someone worth listening to..." means nothing in America!  No one in any professional industry would give any downright foolish or talentless person a second thought if he or she wasn't connected with someone or a group with name recognition.  "Oh she worked with...Oh he knows...Okay let's hear what they've got!"  says the producer/owner/CEO. 

The problem with many individuals who stumble across real truth is that once they see it for what it is, they find themselves looking for excuses not to believe it.  They insult messengers with frivolous arguments, bad mouth sincerely caring individuals, and will go so far as to either lie, cover up, or stay mum about the recently discovered truth.  Why?  Because ultimately one's ego, title, award, power, fame, etc. is more important than the truth, and for that, it isn't any wonder why so many are hoodwinked out of money, marriages, property, position, and more. 

Look beyond the distractions, my friend!
