definition
"Cultivate a mirrorlike awareness that believes nothing in advance, and you will respond directly to facts, free from the distortions of propaganda."
According to Osho, the information industry exploits our conditioning—our bias for either the old or the new—to program our moral reactions and distort reality. When we think through beliefs, media narratives deceive us and manufacture consent. Cultivate a clear, mirrorlike awareness that believes nothing in advance; then you respond directly to facts, immune to propaganda and able to discern truth for yourself.
News plays on what you already believe, so stay clear and look freshly before deciding what’s true.
