Beyond the Ballot: Exploring the Resonance of 2024 U.S. Elections

Many were shocked by the results of the November 5, 2024, U.S. elections.

But should we be? If we step back and consider that everything around us is information, then perhaps not.

Our entire reality—our beliefs, perceptions, and even reactions—has been sculpted by information from the moment we were born. If we’ve been systematically programmed, and our neurons have fired in patterned, synchronized ways over time, was the outcome really a surprise? Or was it a design set in motion by those responsible for our programming?

Here's a reflection on how information shapes our reality, the role of critical thinking, and the surprising twists in the 2024 U.S. elections.

A World Programmed by Information

Our programming begins the moment we enter the world. Our parents shape our beliefs, but they themselves were shaped by theirs, creating a ripple through generations. 

But it’s not just our families—it’s a complex, pervasive web of information: family traditions, religion, cultural norms, political ideologies, nationality, and most critically, the governments that influence education and media. 

These institutions weave a narrative that we absorb daily. In a world where we’re constantly exposed to information 24/7, our minds are wired—neurons that fire together, wire together—to absorb, retain, and eventually believe. Critical thinking becomes essential here, as it allows us to question, analyze, and evaluate this information rather than passively accept it.

This is programming. This is how reality, as we perceive it, is formed.

The problem is that this programming passes down beliefs, values, and biases which are then reinforced by the societal structures around us. This process of information transfer isn't random; it's a meticulously crafted program designed to ensure continuity and conformity within society.

The Role of Critical Thinking in Deciphering Programming

Critical thinking is our tool to become aware of this web of information. By practicing it on a daily basis:

We learn to scrutinize the credibility of information sources, recognizing biases and agendas.

We question the status quo, understanding that what’s presented as normal or true might be subject to manipulation. 

We expose ourselves to a range of viewpoints to create a more comprehensive  understanding rather than falling into echo chambers of self-reinforcing networks. 

The Crack in the System

Despite this pervasive programming, the 2024 election results revealed a malfunction in the system. Policies that did not benefit everyone may have created dissonance, leading to distress and questioning among voters, and prompting to search for different outcomes. When people feel unrepresented, marginalized, or unheard, it can lead to suffering —a kind of “short-circuiting” occurs in the neural pathways that uphold the established narrative. It’s like a glitch in a program that helps people ‘eject’ from their internal data, awakening them to an unfiltered, unprogrammed reality that they no longer relate to, and thus reject. This crack in the system sparked a moment of clarity, breaking through the numbness and apathy, and enabling people to make new and different choices. 

The Role of the Younger Generation

Unlike their predecessors, young voters today avoid traditional media channels like newspapers and TV news, favoring instead, the interactive platforms of social media, where influencers and a variety of alternative voices shape their worldview. This shift has significant implications for political campaigns and how information is consumed and processed.

In this environment, young voters, with a ‘beginners’ mind’, embrace the possibility that everything can change, including the political landscape, free from the limitations of established programming. This has helped to the unexpected outcomes we have seen in these elections. 

Finding Clarity in an Evolving Landscape 

The quest for clarity in this new informational ecosystem invites us to ask ourselves questions such as: How does one break away from the pervasive patterns of society programming? The answer, it seems, lies in neutrality.

Neutrality: A Path to Freedom

Neutrality is not about disinterest or withdrawal; rather it’s about achieving a state of pure awareness, where one’s thoughts and decisions are not colored by external pressure or past biases. It’s the quiet, still space between our thoughts, the calm between breaths, akin to the serene eye of the storm. In neutrality, individuals operate from a place of intuition and inclusivity, tapping into what some might call zero-point energy—a place of limitless potential that connect us to the universe’s infinite possibilities. 

 The Power of Quartz Crystals and Neutrality 

For anyone who finds the results of the United States shocking, they should reconsider the original source of the information they were repeatedly exposed to and are resonating with and consider neutralize it.

Just as quartz crystals are used in modern technology to neutralize and balance frequencies, they can help us find balance from within. When we wear quartz, we tap into a resonance that supports neutrality, helping us make decisions that are inclusive and beneficial for all.

In a world saturated with information and programmed responses, critical thinking alongside the use of quartz can help you connect with the space between your thoughts, experience the stillness between breaths, and invite the peace in the eye of the hurricane into your life. 

From a balanced and neutral perspective, we can make decisions that serve not only ourselves but the collective as well.

By embracing neutrality and encouraging critical thinking, we can transcend the limitations of programming and access a new layer of reality. Today, let’s choose to see with fresh eyes, act from neutrality, and let go of the old programming that no longer serves us. It’s time to step into a future of unity, clarity, and boundless potential—one filled with infinite possibilities.
