Is it better to be aware and awake or blisfully ignorant?
So this morning I get into an argument for speaking my mind. My bf has more of an idealistic perspective of things in general vs my realist views (He's a Pisces, I'm a Scorpio). I was once naive and idealistic myself, but I've always kept an open mind because I can sense when there's more than meets the eye.
Being a Scorpio, I have strong opinions that I am not afraid to voice. People who don't know Scorpio often feel like we're trying to force our opinion on others when we're merely voicing or defending our standpoint.
I've always sensed something "dark" behind the scenes of both Political and Entertinment arenas. I was briefly part of the entertainment industry at some point and I got out as soon as I could. I've never truly delved into the whole Illuminati/MK Ultra stuff bc, incredibly as it sounds, I was more afraid of finding that there's truth to it. (Ignorance is bliss)
Having read some of the Jessica Simpson MTV house thread, which led to other sites with even more incredible info, as always I did my own research, only to find that the rabbit hole is much, much deeper than I ever believed possible. As we discussed this topic this morning, I remarked how anyone who's anyone, has had to give up either body or soul, or both, to get there and stay there. Even someone as innocent-looking as Taylor Swift, it's all a show. Wow, you'd think I'd just cursed out his mother because he started to go off about how the Country music industry isn't like that (LOL) and how she's not doing anything bad and etc. It was then that I realized that many people do NOT want to be aware...as much as they can keep an open mind and as much as they know that there is something very wrong with the world, they REFUSE to believe it. They don't want to see the world as it is, they want to continue to wear the rose-colored glasses. I was called a cynic....which I may be, although I think I'm more "jaded" than anything, I simply cannot carry on living and pretending like we don't live in absolute horrible times.
I can forget enough to enjoy life, but I find that the things that make me happy at this stage in my life aren't on tv or on the radio. Classical music, world music, the fine arts, writing, science, literature, nature, that's the type of stuff that brings true joy and fulfillment to my heart and the more "aware" I become, the more I see how people are mindless robots and I find it hard to play the same game.
Does anyone else ever wish they were just blissfully ignorant like the rest of the sheep and not tortured by the terrifying violence, corruption and depravity that is our current reality?

I am a Pisces. I have to deal with folks like you describe every day. I agree, one does not attain a high level in any entertainment industry (and that is only one industry)unless they are run by an unseen group. I even was accosted by bringing up Lady Ga Ga.

So, to answer your question: I'd rather be awake.

If you're in a position to do something about it, it's probably better to be aware.

If you can't do a thing to change it, it's probably better to be ignorant.

There's a reason smarter people are more likely to be depressed.

Exactly. It's either become depressed from being too aware, or play along, which is hard to do all the time.

Most people on this site are even awake, including yourself and your boyfriend. Don't worry about it, if your not awake at this point you probably never will be. And those not truely awake are useless alto the cause.

I would say it is better to be awake than asleep. But in that one will learn that nothing is what it seems. This causes great distrust and unrest. So, if you choose to be awake, make sure there is someone or something that you trust absolutely. You need the anchor. For me it is God.

Re: Is it better to be aware and awake or blisfully ignorant?
I'm with you sister. I'm a Pisces, and tend to sense everyone's emotions. This can be frustrating, especially when you "feel" such extreme resistance to concepts that should be fairly easy to accept and see for oneself.

However, I do have a strong feeling that there are those that are "meant" to get it, and those that aren't. Although seeing the real world is hard, I would rather go through what is coming with my eyes wide open and try to keep love in my heart, especially for those who can't/won't see reality slapping them in the face. Can be an arduous task, but it does help to be mindful of it.

Is it better to be aware and awake or blisfully ignorant?
 Quoting: MartianPrincess


That really depends on your own perspective and your soul evolution. If your soul is not of a higher orientation as of yet, and you still require physical, material needs over spiritual understanding, then you will prefer to remain ignorant as truth is not integral to your material needs.
If on the other hand you are personally evolving and choose to understand your soul and it's origin and source, then truth is not only vital, it is who and what you are and anything less is unacceptable. So therefore to be ignorant is against your soul and to remain sleeping is harmful to you.
No matter how hard the truth is, the truth is real and absolute and cannot be substituted with ignorant falsities in the disguise of bliss. Untruth can never be bliss, just ignorant.

sheep love being sheep and theres no point on convincing them they are sheep because it will just end up in a negative conversation.

The best thing you can do is live your life to the fullest, and show the world (through your accomplishments) how amazing life can be. Let them see with their eyes and learn at their own pace.

You can't forcefully awaken somebody, they have to want to awaken.

aware doesn't mean you can't still have the eyes of a child, when you want to turn them on.

remember, only if you become as a child, can you enter into the kingdom of heaven.

he was talking about remembering and living the magick of childhood. not reverting back to it.

nor being some silly born again ritual.

it's all about keeping the magick, being aware, and not letting cynicism or the world bring you down.

Strange, but people who say they are aware seem to be ignorant, but those who say they are ignorant are much more aware.

Also, those who lack competence then to have too much confidence and those who are quite competent are more cautious.

I am glad I found out about the financial doom because you can prepare for that pretty well (gold and silver) but the other stuff is completely out of my control and I wish I never knew about it. I used to be a much happier person and able to go out and socialize easily. Now I tend to worry more and not want to socialize as much because I know how meaningless the topics are that people talk about these days.

I have turned into a worrier with all this stuff going on. It is not healthy and I know I need to get away from sites like GLP but I can't. I HAVE TO know what is going on. It's an endless cycle of checking GLP to try and be informed but it leads to worrying.

So yes, I really wish I was still blisfully ignorant. I would be enjoying life more for the future and if something happened then so be it. Now I have woke up and just worry about things, because there is nothing I can do it about (such WWIII, sun doom, diseases, etc.)

Blissfully ignorant is being brainwashed, while awake is not. It depends on who you ask...It is hard to be aware, because you see how ignorant most are, while being ignorant has it's own advantages..no worry or anxiety, or hope!
