Social Media As A Form Of Spiritual Warfare
Over the past several years, I have noticed a lot of sensationalist content on social media that is intended to evoke strong negative emotions.
Here are some patterns I have been seeing pushed:
Misogyny in men: These videos cause men to look down on women as all morally corrupt and see them as enemies
Misandry in women: These videos cause women to look at men to be feared or manipulated into a relationship
Mistrust of people: Though 'dark psychology’ content has its place, consuming too much of it can also cause people to become hypervigilant and mistrust everyone
Gruesome news stories: Related to murders or abhorrent crimes. This can be educational in some ways, but a lot of people are consuming these videos as a casual form of entertainment. A person can unknowingly be programming their subconscious to believe the world is a dark, dangerous place.
Doomsday content: Whether from the Christian or conspiracy sphere, most “end of the world” videos tend to come from a place of fear and fatalism.
Although they have their good, social media platforms like Youtube and TikTok are ultimately controlled by the “powers that be” which serve the principality of darkness (i.e. lower realms).
The principality of darkness not only feeds on negative human energy (loosh) but also seeks to corrupt the innocence in mankind.
Since many people today have a sense of impending doom due to AI and the instability of the job market and fears of the world ending, people are already disenchanted and disillusioned. Their guards are down.
So this extreme wave of low vibrational content we have been seeing in the past several years is not just because it gets views and makes money, although it is true that humanity is consenting through its mass consumption of it.
I believe this is a form of spiritual warfare specifically intended to weaken the human morale in this time and engender hopelessness, mistrust, and fear in mankind.
What is the solution to this?
To understand that we ARE being spiritually attacked by so much of this content being pushed onto us.
To understand that we have a CHOICE in what we give our attention to. If you are going to give your attention to a video that might bring your energy down, do so consciously (i.e. to educate yourself).
To give your attention to what gives LIFE (i.e. positive spiritual teachings, high vibrational music, inspirational videos). Though I don’t think social media is wrong, I am very particular about which platforms I am on and what I consume.
To engage with life in a meaningful manner. Many people today are isolated and spend much of their time consuming content on social media. I’m not judging this, but it is a good idea to get in touch with the things you feel passionate about and connect with like-minded people that can enrich your life. One of our greatest joys as human beings is to be of service to others doing what we love.
