STORY: Searching for the TRUTH is an ancient practice and today it is a most worthy use of our time. We must pay attention and search for TRUTH - because today we are living in an ocean of information that is definitely overwhelming all of us! Our social media (Facebook, LinkedIn, Snapchat, Twitter, Instagram, WhatsApp, Reddit, WeChat or TikTok)! fill us with too much information. Our major media stations (MSNBC, ABC, NBC, FOX News, CBS) claim that “alternative media” views - are conspiracy theories. Did you know that the major media stations are owned by just six corporations. Are these corporations running the media now? Now here is a TRUTH to think about: A democracy depends on its citizens studying what is going on, reading newspapers and thinking for themselves. Yes there have always been quacks - but study things yourself to determine the truth. The Prosperos School of Ontology teaches that TRUTH is an Essential Principle of One Life Energy that is here now within us all and that we each must do some WORK to let go of our-ego-quack-stuff and open up to the TRUTH.
