I don't actually label myself as a conspiracy theorist, but I am becoming increasingly interested in understanding the world and why things are the way they are, and what is keeping them that way. This involves learning about some pretty horrendous stuff, that could be pretty depressing if I let it.
I am wondering: would it be better to be blissfully ignorant? It's much easier to be an optimistic beacon of hope in the world when you don't actually know about some of this stuff.
Is it really helpful to research conspiracy material? Can I really change these situations anyway? (probably not) Or would I be better to focus on envisioning how I would like the future to be, and doing what I can to make this happen?
I'm sure we are all familiar with the Law of Attraction, and how by focusing on something you create more of it. I can see that there are some inherent dangers in getting bogged down in some of the terrible things that are going on in our world.
What are your thoughts? Is it useful to engage in this stuff? Or would we be better to focus our thoughts and energy on what we want instead?
Conspiracy theorists: how do you find a balance?
Interested to hear your thoughts.

How can you possible hope to change the world, or at least positively impact upon it, when you ignore what is ACTUALLY happening with it. It's very easy to pretend things are fine and nothing is wrong but that is just ridiculously unrealistic.
Sure being ignorant might make you feel better, but it doesn't make you a better citizen of the Earth.
And, you can say that again, Marique, about Pollyannas. And don't I know? Been there...done that. Or how about an ostrich burying its head in the sand? NO, NO, NO!!! Don't tell me that....I don't want anything to shake my comfort zone, or my belief system (which is BS) :)))))
Yes...i agree with all thoughts here...
The important for me too is to focus on what we want to create, than to just
blame the current corrupt situation...We have understand that Earth's situation now,
(humanity, environment,animals),
is bad, so we need to focus our thoughts and actions on how we can make things better..
Yes 1 person maybe feeling too weak to change the whole system...but the thing is,
that we are not only 1 person...we are many who becoming One...
And many more will join in time, like the snowball rolling down the hill.....
Its up to each and every one of us to focus on the positive life that we want for all...
and each one needs to find ways, with whatever way he/she feels is better for him/her,
to move in this direction...not only by thinking of it...but by acting on it also....
What actions we can Do???...well..its up to You, to decide about this... ;)
My feeling is that one has to have some idea of what is going on before they even have a desire or intent to change it. We have been such sleepyheads for so long that it's been very easy to dupe us. However, I DO agree with you that it would be far better to "focus our thoughts and energy on what we want instead." Energy flows where attention goes. So, this begs the question do we want to perpetuate what we are experiencing, or do we want to cre8 Heaven on earth?
