Truth Does Not Fear Those Who Fear Truth

When one is attuned to and aligned with Truth, there is no fear that comes with awareness of Truth that is revealed. It is considered as relevant intelligence for decision-making. Our higher choices depend on it. Nor is there any fear in telling the truth. Our integrity depends on it.

Some may naturally react with judgment towards information that has been revealed regarding some group or individual. The feeling of being deceived or manipulated carries emotion that may roll one off balance for a moment or a period of time. But as we evolve, we realize that balance will occur naturally. We are called to respond rather than react.

Our response is more benevolent and beneficial when it comes from a higher vibration. If we strive to practice coming from love and forgiveness, we transcend the states of consciousness that caused the unethical, corrupt, and malevolently designed patterns in society to begin with. Furthermore, when we stabilize higher states of being, we activate deeper perceptions that allow us to know truth when we are exposed to it. We become less and less likely to be deceived or manipulated.

Anatomy of an Epidemic

Robert Whitaker, a former Boston Globe reporter, was curious about why there has been such a large increase of disabling mental illness in the United States. His book,Anatomy of an Epidemic: Magic Bullets, Psychiatric Drugs, and the Astonishing Rise of Mental Illness in America(Crown Publishers, 2010), begins with these data points: in 1987, the U.S. mental illness disability rate was 1 in every 184 Americans, but by 2007 the mental illness disability rate had more than doubled to 1 in every 76 Americans.

During this same time period, there has also been a huge increase in psychiatric drug use. Prior to 1988 when Prozac hit the market, the annual U.S. gross for antidepressant and antipsychotic drugs was less than $1 billion, but today those two classes of psychiatric drugs alone gross more than $25 billion a year in the United States. The question for Whitaker was: is it just a coincidence that disabling mental illness and psychiatric drug use have been rapidly increasing at the same time?


Whitaker does not discount cultural factors that may have something to do with this dramatic increase in mental illness disability. However, he discovered that the most scientifically identifiable factor for the increase of severe psychiatric problems is the increase in psychiatric drug use. He identified a frightening trend: long-term psychiatric drug use has caused children and adults with minor emotional problems to have severe and chronic disorders that result in mental illness disabilities.
