Since the Government’s crazy idea at the beginning of this week to encourage the public to buy and even stock-pile petrol and the media’s irresponsible coverage, petrol stations have seen overwhelming queues of people trying to fill up their tanks, buying in fear, which has actually forced many outlets to ration petrol. The truth is, there is no shortage of petrol, or at least there wasn’t, until The Government and News channels induced this outbreak of mass hysteria and panic. This is the power of media. People can easily be manipulated and literally believe ANYTHING they are told, quickly starting to behave in an irrational way just like lemmings who decide to jump off a cliff because they saw someone else doing it.

In the greater cities such as London, Manchester and Brighton, there is less panic due to quality train and bus services, however in the countryside people are dependent on the car and some are going to any lengths to ensure they don’t “run out”. I spend a great deal of time in Southwold, Suffolk, and see why cars are essential to be mobile. It’s the rural communities that are feeling the effect of this scare-mongering.

There was a time when human beings thought the world would end because there was a shortage of mustangs, then, humanity uncovered the “automobile”. We found it necessary to imagine a new way of living which could propel us forward. Henry Ford played a huge role in this. Just as we evolved from relying on mustangs to cars, there may come a day when our supply of oil dwindles and we will be forced to use the power of our imagination, the power of our will and the power of our Higher consciousness to uncover a new secret of Nature that will permit the human race to move forward again.
