Sometimes looking honestly at someone's work and understanding why they believe what they believe is an important part of learning/exercising discernment. In our seeking, we may look for information that confirms our hopes and desires instead of understanding the motivations behind those hopes and desires. When I read David's blog about his personal journey (and his personal stories/dreams from other blogs) I do see a part of himself wanting to see the 'ridiculously positive' world.
There may be a difference between what we want to see and what is really playing out within us. I guess in our anxiety or fears or excitement we look to external sources, hoping to find out what the future will look. And we selectively filter in information that confirms our inner desires.
'Freedom from the desire for an answer is essential to the understanding of a problem.'
(Krishnamurti)
The problem being examined was, 'what is going to happen to us?'
When I see 'ridiculously positive' outcome, I think, David must be looking for some sort of assurance that he and the rest of the world will be OK. I think it comes from his heart that he wants everybody and everything to be beautiful and safe. It mirrors all our hopes and dreams for a positive future timeline. If the outcome were full disclosure or end of tyranny with help from positive forces, that would have to come from the people of earth... that would take years, right? If we had outside help, then those benevolent beings would violate our free will. Scott Mandelker talks about this (he sounded a bit upset so maybe he had some personal things going on, I don't know).
And I agree with you, it's important to vibrate that positivity. And also work with our fears and other lessons.
