The problem with conspiracy theory rabbit holes (WARNING)

Aaron Doughty explains five problems with diving deep into conspiracy theories: they make you angry, drain your energy, destroy your ability to judge what's true, expose you to false documentaries, and include paid misinformation agents. He argues discernment and selective consumption matter more than obsessive rabbit holes.

As you go down these conspiracy theory rabbit holes, there's a couple things you need to know. There's a couple problems that may present themselves to you if you're not aware of it. I'm going to show you in this video exactly how to bypass that, what you need to know, and the main 5 problems with conspiracy theories. Welcome back to another video. My name is Aaron and I help people expand their consciousness. Now in this video, I'm going to be sharing with you the main problems there is when you start heading down conspiracy theory rabbit holes. And I say this from a place of experience as well, because I've been through some of them. I've been through some of those conspiracy theory rabbit holes. You just kind of go down there. It's kind of very, uh, it's very— it's a whole new world, to be honest with you. The first time I ever became aware of this kind of information, it was actually kind of what spawned part of my spiritual awakening. I was on a road trip with with my dad and my two sis, and two of my sisters to Grand Canyon. And going there, I was on like one of those, it was like the older iPhones where it was very, it was much smaller. And I was like scrolling and reading different conspiracy theories. And there was something about some of them that actually resonated and made sense. And as I started to learn, I started to see, oh, there's more to reality than I priorly knew. And one of the other big things was when I learned meditation. It was so beneficial, transformed my life so much, and I couldn't understand why it wasn't taught in school. I wasn't getting a lot of answers and I was starting to really see things in a different way. So that was one of the first tastes that I have of going down that what we call conspiracy theory rabbit holes. And before we get too deep into it, I'm going to be talking about some of them. You might be a little bit surprised that I'm talking about in this video, but, um, the word conspiracy theory, the word conspiracy theory, conspiracy theory was coined by the CIA back in the day to keep people from questioning the government. And, um, it's interesting as well, the CIA, what they did is they made conspiracy theory and they made them look crazy, anybody that questioned the government. And now even when people hear the word conspiracy theory, it sounds like this really esoteric thing where like a guy that hasn't been sleeping for 3 weeks in his basement has like crazy long hair and is like, just doesn't come out, he's got— hasn't had sunlight in like months. That's the way we think of a conspiracy theory person, right? However, when we look at this, um, back in the day, what they also did— this is the other thing that's kind of funny— is what they did is, uh, they say, you know, the, the CIA also had infiltration and an influence on Hollywood. So one of the things they did is they wanted to make their job look really cool, so they, they got that of like the James Bond series and really wanted to, um, like almost had an influence on that coming out, the whole, you know, James Bond and And that made their job look super cool. So they're like, let's look really cool. Let's make conspiracy theories look really crazy. And that's kind of what they did. So realize that if you feel triggered when you hear the word conspiracy theory or conspiracy at all, realize that that's a conditioning, that's a priming that's happened since the 1970s or '80s when that coin was first even termed. Now here's the thing as well. So all conspires, conspire means, is a secret plan with unlawful bad intention. And when you start to study a lot of this, you may eventually realize that there are and does exist a group of people on the planet that want to keep people in a certain level of consciousness or keep people in fear and anger because then they're much easier to control. And then those people are also much more likely to look to authority for certainty. Just one of the things that they— and they're elite people that want the resources also to go to them. They don't believe necessarily that everyone can have abundance. So it's like, oh, let's kind of keep the, the, the perspective and keep people in the dark. So once again, that is also a conspiracy theory. So it's ironic that I'm talking about that, but I believe it's the more you look into that, there's many documentaries. What was that? There's one called Out of the Shadows. There's a whole documentary series on YouTube called Fall Cabal, which everyone was telling me, you gotta watch this, you gotta watch this. It's like a 12-part series on, on YouTube, and some of it seems like it could be true. Some of it seems like it could be a little bit exaggerated. I don't know. The one thing that I want to encourage you to do is to use your own discernment with this. This is one of the problems. I'm going to skip around a little bit, but let's talk about that. Number 4 on this list is false cabal. Now with this, understand conspiracy theory rabbit holes, you'll notice that whatever you pay attention to, begins to in a way be something that primes you towards seeing more and more of these things in your life. So I know that when I went down that conspiracy theory rabbit hole at the beginning of the year, when all that stuff was happening in the world and things were starting to shut down, and I started to realize there's something else going on here than what's being shown, because one, there were, you know, there were— not that that thing at the beginning of the year didn't exist, but it was being very exaggerated by the media. That was very obvious. And one of the reasons is that the media is owned by 6 major corporations that has a certain agenda. And everything I'm sharing with you right now, I encourage you to do your own research on, have your own discernment. Don't just believe me because I'm someone on YouTube. But I am someone that is— I've studied this not at an expert level, but I have looked into a lot of this stuff and used my own discernment as to what some of these things are. This is what I learned. So a lot of people were telling me to watch this documentary series on YouTube called Fall Cabal, and I did. Some of it may be very true. However, some of it is also very negative, and focusing on it I found really lowered my vibration. Yes, it's important to be aware of these things, but sometimes we become aware of it and then we'd find ourselves like almost emotionally, um, tied to it, to where it becomes like something we focus more and more on, and then we're going down many, many rabbit holes. So the rabbit hole has a tendency just to suck you in because whatever you pay attention to, you become a vibrational match to and you begin to, you begin to in a way become mentally stimulated by it, but then it continues to carry you down into deeper and deeper states until then you've, you've been on, I don't know, 600 YouTube videos and you're like, then you really have been in the basement. You haven't slept in 3 weeks and you haven't had sunlight. So I know even my mom, for example, my mom and my brother, um, they came over when I was back in Vegas, and I remember I could tell that they were— they told me like, we need to take a step back from studying and looking into this because they went through weeks of studying that information. They could feel that it was very dense. It was very much lowering their vibe and keeping them from, from being as happy. And the thing is with this, yes, a lot of these things may be true. A lot of these things may also— a lot of what's being shown in the government and the media may also be completely exaggerated. But the thing that you do want to ask yourself is, is it draining your energy? Is it coming at a cost to you for you to study this stuff that then it completely drains your energy to where then you don't have the energy to do other things? After I watched this series of Falkabal, I had like, like my dreams weren't as great. I felt more dense the more I focused on those things. But some of it may be true, and it's inspiring to know that there's more to reality than than has priorly been shown. And it's important to become aware of it, but I think we have to be very mindful of our own energy and how much we're putting into these things. And that's another thing I wanna talk about. So let's go back to number 1. Let's start, let's revamp it back. The first problem with conspiracy theory rabbit holes is when you start to go down them, you may find that you become a little bit more on edge and angry. And one of the reasons being is because a lot of the conspiracy theories means that there's a certain group of people that have been doing and orchestrating certain negative events that have been keeping us as the people in states of fear and anger. I know when I first became aware of this back in 2012, actually, um, at different levels, I was very angry. I was like, why, why are people doing this to a mass amount of people? And I felt in a way like I wanted to help to kind of revamp that energy to so that us as the people take our power back. And that's one of the— it's honestly one of the things that really drove me to do that because I felt this calling. I felt like it's I feel like a lot of you watching this video right now are also here to kind of spread your light and to kind of— that undoes a lot of the darker agendas that some of these elite celebrities or elite groups of people have. So one of the side effects of going down these conspiracy theory rabbit holes, though, is that you might become a little bit on edge and angry because you want to take your power back. And you may be angry that you bought into a lot of stuff. You may have been so scared of the stuff that happened at the beginning of the year and all this other stuff, and may find yourself in a state to where like then you, you judge yourself because you bought into it a little bit more than you should have or something like that. And the key to this, and I'm also showing you these problems so that you can then avoid them and then kind of bypass them or make them not as much of an issue. So on edge and angry is one of the first problems of it. The second that we've already talked about is drained energy. It takes energy to look at some of this stuff and yes, it's important to be aware of it, but It's at a certain level. You just got to be mindful of your own energy and what your purpose is and whether you want to put your energy into it. I had something happen recently that I won't get too much into, but there was like this, this book that I used to talk a lot about my YouTube channel and back 3 years ago, and I ran into some issues where there were, there was videos, YouTube videos on this video taken down and it was I felt like it was against my freedom of speech. I felt like the people that were doing it, a part of this organization of this book that I was like sending people to, to buy this book, I felt like they were not living by the teachings of the book and I felt like they were not in integrity. And I felt like they were doing it because they were in a way jealous that I had so many YouTube videos that had so much views on it that it was hard for them to compete with that. So they said, okay, we're going to take out almost 100 videos on my channel, delete it. And I also felt like, yeah, I felt like, I just felt like it was kind of like I spent so much time to like spread the message of this book and then it was just like, it just didn't make sense to me. And I was, I got very angry when that happened and I started to judge myself for getting angry. But then I also had to, had to make a choice. Do I want to pursue and fight and, and like call these people out publicly or do all this stuff, or will they that drain my energy more. And that's what I realized. I was like, no, I don't want to drain my energy. I don't want to put my energy into that kind of stuff. And here's what happened. I did not put my energy into that. And you want to know what happened? The person that's running that organization that had that done to my YouTube videos, and I was also doing it to other people, anybody that talks about this, this book, the people from inside the organization are realizing that this lady is the problem. And if the universe is taking care of itself, isn't that interesting? I let go of the outcome and then the universe just took care of it, but I didn't have to put my energy into it. So with some of these conspiracy theory rabbit holes, become aware of it, but then decide where you put your energy and then trust the universe is going to take care of it and set the intention that it does. But realize that if it's not your purpose to figure it out and to be a voice for it, then put your energy where you think it should be. I'm getting a lot of benefit from doing that and from being very mindful of my own energy. Now, lack of discernment. One of the problems too is that then people start to believe everything they heard with conspiracy theory. It's like they, they develop a— they doubt in the government or in the media or the things that like have been lying for a long time, but then they start to specifically believe every single conspiracy theory they hear. Now, the thing is, is you have to have discernment on both sides. Have discernment with the media because of course exaggerated many, many times, and many times it may be completely not true, or maybe the propaganda or the narrative that they want you to believe. But you have to use your own discernment with that. Same thing, conspiracy theories. There's many different versions of them. Become aware of them and choose where you put your energy and choose also what resonates and what doesn't resonate. There's some things I hear that I'm like, yeah, I'm not, I don't believe that, that just doesn't feel right. Or I just choose not to focus on it because it'll drain my energy. Falkenball, that series I was telling you about, just the story. I just, I watched that and I just, I felt like it was dampening my own energy. I felt like some of it may be actually true. So many people are reaching out to me to watch it, but the one thing that I recommend is don't watch it late at night. And when you do watch it, or if you do, just have a lot of discernment with it. Something like that, you know, it's all, it kind of sheds light on many different storylines of what's happening in the world and kind of shows a new perspective. Now the fifth thing too, the problem with conspiracy theory, rabbit holes. There are people in the government, or there, they've actually talked about this on a show called Cosmic Disclosure on Gaia, that there is this guy named Corey Goode was talking about it. There are people by the government or by these different corporations that get paid to go online to spread misinformation. So there's people that get paid to be conspiracy theorist people and that go through and spread misinformation so that it's almost like there's so much misinformation out there that we don't know what is true. It confuses us. It's like a confusion thing. So be aware of that as well. Some of it may resonate, some of it may not resonate, but the thing that you want to become aware of is that what is and where is your information? Um, what are you paying attention to? And could it be something that's misinformation with some type of agenda or to keep us confused? So it's very important to be aware of all of these different things. And I have a video going out very soon as well on 7 conspiracy theories that sound crazy, but I think are true. I'm gonna go and link that below. You can check that video out. That video would have gone out recently and then this video come out afterwards. Other than that, I hope you enjoyed this video and as always, I'll talk to you later. Peace, much love, and namaste.
