Truth vs. Disinformation -How to Tell the Difference

How can we tell the difference between truth and disinformation these days?
This can be difficult as there are so many conflicting theories on so many issues. Many people have, quite reasonably, come to the conclusion that the mainstream media cannot be trusted, along with other institutions such as governments, corporations and even medical and scientific “authorities.”

Yet it’s not enough simply to question or disbelieve the words of the old paradigm. Once you start digging into the alternatives, you soon find that there are an often confusing number of conflicting theories about what’s really happening. Whether you’re looking into 2012, UFOs and disclosure, the global economy, the truth about ancient history or whether political figures such as Obama or Ron Paul (for example) are “good guys” or “bad guys,” you’ll find a wide range of opinions.

We can be sure that there’s plenty of deliberate disinformation being broadcast on the internet nowadays. Yet one thing that’s worth noting is that confusion is itself a type of disinfo, in that it keeps us intellectually and emotionally out of balance. So getting caught up in the rational mind or left brain, trying to figure something out is often not very productive, especially when we don’t have enough evidence to know the truth.

The following video by Magenta Pixie presents some timely wisdom on this issue. Among other things, it talks about being at peace with uncertainty, and trusting one’s intuition.
