There’s a new virus going around—a mental virus. It’s called the Conspiravirus, and contains large amounts of fear, untruths, manipulation, and general unconsciousness. You shouldn’t fight it, however. The remedy is awareness.
Let’s make America—and the world—conscious again (one ego at a time)! 🙌🌎🌟🙏🎉😇

Bonus! Below is a partial transcription from a talk Eckhart Tolle gave last month at his Timeless Wisdom retreat in Greece:
So, we are moving into a time period of initially a regression. For many humans it will mean a regression to a more unconscious state and for others it will trigger an awakening, a heightening of consciousness. And others will experience a lowering of consciousness…you suffer more, of course. If consciousness rises into presence, you don’t suffer anymore. The Buddha called it the end of suffering.
Many humans are being affected by a lowering of consciousness. You can see that there’s a lot of insanity in this world right now and it’s increasing. And what is happening is thought forms arise—crazy thought forms—collective thought forms, that take possession of large numbers of humans. Because there’s lack of presence or lack of awareness, humans then don’t realize that they’re being possessed by collective thought forms of very low nature.
(Then he talks about how this has happened in history, in Nazi Germany, USSR, Mao Zedong’s China, Pol Pot’s Cambodia, etc)
So there’s the danger when you’re not sufficiently present that you are infected by toxic collective thought forms. The danger is here also and they will divide humans into sections— these are the bad ones, these are the good ones. And thought forms that create an enormous amount of suffering. So you need to be very careful with thought forms. They can totally distort your view of reality.
(Then he talks about communist states and “group think”)
There are quite a few around these days. I’m not mentioning any, because some of you may already have been affected. And the way to get rid of that is not by [me] questioning your thoughts but by helping you to become more aware, so that you’re no longer at the mercy of your thoughts.
When a psychiatrist meets a patient, and say the patient has a delusion and says, “I am Napoleon” and the scientist tells the patient, “of course you’re not Napoleon! Pull yourself together, you’re not Napoleon!” Immediately, the scientist would lose contact with the person completely. The person would cut him off totally. But also the scientist would not say, “of course you’re Napoleon! I know you’re Napoleon.” That would be a mistake also, to strengthen the delusion.” a good psychiatrist or psychologist – a psychiatrist would probably give them drugs—a good psychologist would simply listen, give attention to that person, perhaps ask questions. “So you’re Napoleon, tell me more.”
Listen—and by listening, create an energy field of presence in the interaction. Then it is possible that some healing can happen. So this is why also, I don’t talk about particular absurd thought forms a significant section or a certain section of population in the western world is possessed by, you have to find it out for yourself. Because if I spelled it out, some of you would go crazy and run out of the room. And that would not be helpful at all.
So don’t question [their] thoughts, but help people become more aware so that they can wake up from identification with their thoughts. Without awareness, the weirdest thoughts you can suddenly take on. You just read something on the Internet, it can be the most absurd things, if you have no immunity. Immunity, in the realm of consciousness, means to have enough presence so that a thought cannot take you over.
Falling prey to “toxic thought forms” is a great danger in our civilization now.
Also question everything you hear in the media… it’s good to question, to bring awareness to it. Say, “Is that really so?”
