(NaturalNews) Much of the people in the western world are ostensibly living

unconsciously, locked inside their own minds, too busy to break free of

social norms and societal pressures. In fact, when presented with a new or

different idea to a pre-existing belief, 96 percent of the population will

reject

the idea outright while only four percent will be open to the possibility of

the inherent truth. It is because of this inability of many individuals to take

in new knowledge that much of the present problems of the world have

recently been exacerbated. When the world is ready for independent thought and

knowledge, devoid of societal influences from the media, friends and family, the

revolution will have arrived and flow of positive changes will be unstoppable.

 

According to the German philosopher, Arthur Schopenhauer, " All truth passes

through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently

opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident. " For example, looking

back

historically at how _cigarettes_ (http://www.naturalnews.com/cigarettes.html)

were recommended by doctors, anyone who initially said that cigarettes caused

_cancer_ (http://www.naturalnews.com/cancer.html) was summarily laughed at.

Still, as more and more knowledge was evinced, the masses moved to only reject

this information as being totally incorrect without accepting the truth of

it. But, over time the laughable idea that smoking could cause serious _health_

(http://www.naturalnews.com/health.html) problems including death, became

self-evident.

 

The same truths are slowly becoming self-evident in regards to the dangers

and greed behind the release of GMOs, pharmaceuticals, the cancer industry and

mandatory _vaccines_ (http://www.naturalnews.com/vaccines.html) . The only

tactic Big Pharma and Big Biotechna can possibly employ is to subvert or block

truthful knowledge in order for the majority of society to be inundated with

deleterious and misinformed information, keeping the status quo while the

masses remained incognizant prisoners of poor choices and disinformation. This

can only be seen as a last-ditch effort by these desperate and soon-to-be

defunct companies to keep people fearful, controlled and chronically ill. But,

as

more and more people begin to slowly awaken, the grip of the corporate

juggernauts begins loosen as individuals reclaim back their well-being and

happiness.

 

In terms of the efficacy of natural health, society has gradually been

shifting from the violent opposition stage to the self-evident stage. A

conscious

awakening is steadily occurring in many individuals as they begin to question

the _food_ (http://www.naturalnews.com/food.html) they are eating, how they

are living their lives and what true health entails. These shifts are only

going to precipitously increase as the world moves from the unconscious control

of the majority, to leadership of the conscious, aware and love of the

minority. Once this occurs, the true revolution will have commenced. The best

way

to foment change is through the dissemination of veritable information to the

masses in hope that some will become the change they wish for. As Samuel

Adams once said, " " It does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an

irate, tireless minority keen to set brush fires in people's minds " .
