Yet another possibility is they have an opposition, a team of enlightened or en-knowledged beings who have been opposing their control since it started - a battle for Man across time, hidden in the lost annals of our race as (perhaps) the Seven Rishi, or the Seven Lords of Light fought against the powers of Darkness, handicapped by their desire to allow us to develop our path to Light by choice.

But there is another thought… If our reality truly depends on what we perceive, then maybe they need us to be despondent, to see the negative of life, to lose hope and foresee only an ever deepening loss of freedom and advance, where our world is so circumscribed we can hope only to be good servants of the poor overlords trying their best to keep us all alive. Then, they get the world they want, possibly forever.

And if 2012 is really a crux, truly a time of growing energy as we pass from Kali Yuga into a more enlightened Age, maybe if they can make us hopeless, the energy will not be used to bring a new age of enlightenment but instead to confirm into the darkness, our lives, our hopes and our futures and leave them as absolute rulers of an endarkened people, with the Darkness being powered by the very Light that was meant to bring us out of the mire.

This possibility is rather nasty to think upon – we should all make a determined effort to find ways to be positive in our lives, to see good things, to find hope for ourselves and others, if for no other reason than to ensure this doesn’t come to pass. Just the possibility of this being in our future should be a goad sufficient for us to stop playing the doom and gloom game and to work at bringing a little glow of positive feeling into our lives

And we will be surprised at how such a glow can infect those around us.

Be a little bud-light in your own life.

If the Puppet Masters have us so bound up, why do we even have the semblance of freedom we currently see? From that dominance, why have they not enslaved us already? Why are the reins so lightly held as to be almost invisible to anyone not looking closely? If they have the world’s money, the power centres and military in their hands, why do they not pull on the bit and get us under control?

One possibility is they are too few - this fits with the alien or secret race point of view

- they breed slow these Annunaki and there are still so few of the true blood they know they cannot yet win against a raised population of angry humanity. Such a path would seem to require a perfection of the plot, or surely we would know about it. But then again, how many times through history have people stepped forward with tales of strangeness and been laughed into silence as the BEST thing that happened to them?

Or it may be they have a plan for us to enslave ourselves – the best prison is one where the inmates police themselves and prevent each other from escaping. How many times have we seen people with a different view, a new way of looking at things, pulled back to the herd, or locked away where they cannot infect others with their ‘crazy ideas’?

Another is that they are waiting for the perfection of the controls over us, the chip implants, the energy mind controls and the robotic military they would need. This would seem, to me, to mean they had to be able to predict the advent of all these things, because the potential to control us via money and power seems to have been around a LONG time.

How can they do such things? How is it, in the (ex) land of the Free, the government can so plainly act in such totalitarian fashion? When did you and I allow our rights and freedoms to vanish so that people, who are self-evidently NOT acting in our interests, or even in a moral fashion, can reach into our lives and take them over. Why do they think they can get away with this?

I think they are becoming confident, although I am not sure I know the right reasons.

On one level, they have been running more than a century of the vastly mis-named ‘Education’ program on us all. We are taught to ‘not think’ and to compete for approval of Authority and to conform to the norm of those around us and to pull down to the common herd all those who might strive to stand above or beyond the crowd. They have a programming tool that captures almost all the public in a snare of symbols and triggers disguised as Entertainment. They are so scared that Entertainment might fail them, they keep upping the ante of shock, to the point where even minor accidents are hyped as ‘horrific’ or ‘Deadly’ and the slightest international altercation is built into a world-threatening disaster for the modern world.

So effective is their game that they can ignore situations that moral people would normally take deep umbrage at and demand action - children starve around the world while the average citizen worries about whether s/he can afford this year’s version of a t-shirt. We eagerly go into debt to buy the latest model of a car that is designed to break down and be obsolete shortly before we have it paid off.

When we look around, the world seems further than ever from the kind of world envisaged by those who read the message of the Christ. Whether or not we accept the religion of the Church, or even profess to a Christian life, the words of the Christ and other avatars or messiahs lead to thoughts of a better world. The possibility of a world where Mankind loves without rancor, where we can trust one another and where we might all work towards a more enlightened life for all is enough to make most people fall silent as they have a brief moment of wishing.

Then we open our eyes and see a world where our leaders are greedy and venal, where lying is rewarded and the media tell us how most of us will crucify our fellow man for the slightest of advantages. We throw away food and resources while just over ‘there’ children die from need and illness we conquered a century ago rips families apart with death and horror.

And our leaders tell us obvious untruths, fabricate stories to get us to react a particular way and ignore our needs as they play their power games. Financial institutions make exhorbitant profits and then tell us how urgently they have to increase their fees – AFTER our governments legislated to make us use the electronic banking system instead of cash. We get charged to put our money in, to leave it there, to move it, to pay bills or to withdraw it.

These people make laws for us and break them almost before they are ratified – the latest such example I have seen can be found in the US site where people can supposedly trade in their old cars for money.

My thoughts on this are a bit complex to put down, but I’ll try.

Truth is not, I think, black and white. Everything around us shows complexities and subtleties way more complex than the Aristotelian good/bad dichotomy. Human relationships have always failed and been manipulated when we fail to recognise the shades of grey between black and white. That’s why, when power mongers decide on war, they start to polarise their subjects, using propaganda and an emphasis on the negative side of those with whom they wish to go to war. If they can demonise the enemy and bring goodness in on their own side, it makes it MUCH easier to convince the people that going off to kill those folk over there is a good thing.

Groups are also not necessarily a good thing - they usually require people to compromise their truth to fit in with the commonly agreed truth of the group. So when the group comes to a point where the particular individual would normally stop and say, ‘this is not my way’ they are under pressure to go along. This group behaviour is considered a good thing, but I would imagine the soldiers at Nuremburg wished they had reconsidered their obedience to the group rule.

Truth in a plain 3D world may be as you see it, but is it true we are in a plain 3D world? The math and physics of cosmology would suggest there are more dimensions than 3. String theory needs 11 and some versions talk of 26. Black holes require, according to Stephen Hawking, other universes to exist for the theory to work. Quantum theory seems to say that if Consciousness were not present, there would be no Universe, that Awareness collapses the probability matrix into a Reality in which we then exist.

And more strangely still, the evidence is building that our Reality isn’t really here at all.

There are darker possibilities - I wonder sometimes if it’s the magicians trick - look over there, watch that hand, ooh, voila, I have produced something from where you didn’t see it coming.

I’ve been thinking over how to help those who want us to stop focussing on the negative side of what might be coming and begin to make our minds and views more positive - I think maybe the reason the hidden players are so cautious might be to do with numbers. If significant numbers of people start to focus on an outcome, given the quantum world, maybe that outcome is more likely.

If a small number of hidden people want a particular outcome, what they have to do is either prevent the masses from dream-fulfilling the things the hidden ones don’t want or get the masses to focus on the scenario wanted by the hidden ones. Maybe that’s the reason for the media push into fear, for how only the bad news is reported and the steady increase in hype words used to report things.
eg. the swine flu thing has died in the headlines as people realised it wasn’t as bad as a cold, so they hype it again by announcing that, instead of 28,000 people having it in the US, it’s a million. You have to read down into the article to find out it’s a computer model showing how many would have it IF there are huge numbers of unreported cases - and they say there are because lots of people have had flu-like symptoms so that must be swine flu.

All of it is BS, none of it reported openly or truthfully but all of it reported so, for the large percentage of people who glance at the headlines and turn to the sports, what they see is how bad swine flu is getting.

It creates a fear and helps formulate a view of the world that helps the dark side along. If, for example, there’s a surge in power available for consciousness to change the world in 2012, and (say) 75% of the people are in fear of…whatever, what is the chance that what we all manifest is a world where our fear is justified? Particularly if the other 25% are disordered, equivocal or even in disagreement as to just which positive outcome they want?

Whatever the origin, it seems in recent times there are more and more people starting to look at 2012 as some kind of special date. If the message of The Secret is true, it is quite possible we are all going to make it a special date, simply by focusing on it so much.

Some people are looking around the world and seeing the end of the world, not because of conditions matching prophecy of their personal beliefs, but because it seems so many facets of our world are riding the knife edge of disaster.

We have too many people. We have known this for some time but nobody (except the Chinese and the Swiss) is doing anything about it. We have almost seven billion people, breathing, eating, shitting and altering our environment, day by day.

We have a culture that allows 5% - 10% of the population to consume 85% of the resources, and worse, to consume them on a throwaway basis.

We have almost all our industries using and dumping poisons back, almost pure, into the environment where we have to grow our food. Our governments are putting other poisons in the water, purportedly to stop our teeth rotting (a vital concern obviously) and to overcome the fact that our fresh water is becoming toxic to us.

We run an economic system that allows people who produce nothing to drive up the prices of our goods and services to make themselves rich while those at either end of the chain remain constantly broke. We have allowed corporations and banks to determine the conditions in which they will operate, and naively expect them to do things that are good for us all, instead of just good for them.

And we have governments made up of people who will do anything, literally, to get into power – it’s like hiring pedophiles to mind our children. The one group of people who should never be given power are those who so desperately desire it.

So perhaps those who are looking to 2012 are simply seeing that soon, any one of these factors will pass a tipping point, a place where the system can no longer tolerate the condition and it breaks.

We are taught, of course, that we aren’t conformist, but Monty Python tells truth in the scene where all the jeans and T-shirt brigade are gathered to listen to a speaker who says ‘We are all non-conformists!’ and the little guy who isn’t wearing the jeans and T-shirt uniform says, timidly, ‘I’m not!’

Why don’t we revolt? Because we have been educated into believing we are helpless, we are in the best of all worlds, and that there is no alternative. Look at the US view of the Middle East. The average American sees them as pretty much savages, lucky enough to be sitting on oil, who for some unknown or poorly understood reason, just happen to hate all Americans.

Why do they think this? Because that is what they have been shown, over and over, with symbols that stir the heart to back the message, to drive it home in deep beyond the censorship that a reasoning mind would put in place as it realised that, just like Americans, those of the Middle East are people also. They have opinions, they have lifestyles and they have dreams and hopes for their kids.

But, just as is happening in the Middle East, the people are being programmed by manipulators with a black and white message that leaves no room for a middle ground. It’s the ‘we’re good and they are evil’ message that is ALWAYS put out when the leaders want war. You have to demonise the opposition before you can convince people to go murder other people.

I think the trick is to try to step back from the emotions. EFT is a good way to start this process. Emotional Freedom Technique is easy and effective and you don’t have to believe it to let it work. You can discharge the fear, let go the anger and engage thinking in a creative way. And you can get the manual free, no catches, and although you can go on to buy stuff relating to EFT, the manual is all you need.

Here’s a few things to look at which might help alter how you view your world.

One: Education - for 100 years now the western education model has been about producing obedient and easily manipulated workers or, when needed, cannon-fodder. Seriously. Do some research on it and look who designed the current models and what their stated goals were. Look up Charlotte Thompson Iserbyt and J.T. Gatto for modern references.

From – “Underground History of American Education”
The secret of American schooling is that it doesn’t teach the way children learn, and it isn’t supposed to; school was engineered to serve a concealed command economy and a deliberately re-stratified social order. It wasn’t made for the benefit of kids and families as those individuals and institutions would define their own needs.

Two: Fluoride - again, look it up and see what it was used for in the 2nd World War. Look at why it was introduced into our water supplies, and look at the supposed benefits it doesn’t actually deliver - and yet it is mandated in communities on a wholesale scale. Alcohol kills hundreds of thousands every year and yet is legal - holes in our teeth are apparently enough to have laws passed to enforce a cancer-linked poison in our water supplies.

Three: Media - everything is made out to be unstoppable, our lives are inundated with bad news, with terror and causes of fear. Fear provokes a fight or flight reflex, at which point resources in the body get diverted from pro-life functions in the viscera and immune areas and even the higher brain functions shut down. That’s why the age-old caution is not to make decisions when you are upset - you literally aren’t as smart as when you are calm and relaxed.

As a nice side effect (for those who are manipulating) they can do things like hype up diseases like, oh, I don’t know, flu, and the generated fear will actually make people more susceptible to the virus.

On top of that, while we focus on the source of fear, we spotlight those areas to the exclusion of things that would normally make us react, and those things pass by almost unnoticed.

Four: The tall-poppy syndrome. The Education system has made us a bunch of conformists and we tear down anyone who looks, sounds or acts differently - until they get to a level where we can look up to them as an authority. Then suddenly they are ‘our boy made good’ and not the nutcase from down the road we used to like tripping as he wandered by.

If our Education is not in our best interests, if our spiritual leaders are not actually giving us a way to personal enlightenment or salvation, and if the media and governments are playing us for fools as they take our freedoms and lives, what can we do about it?

For most of us, the idea of action or activism brings to mind confrontation, danger and violence, probably against our own person. This seems to put it in the all too hard basket and the problems seem insurmountable.

So, as normal people in an increasingly complex and controlled world, what can we do about the situation?

A couple of things come immediately to mind. Learn what is being done to us and why. It means doing some research, but it is out there on the web.

The major advantage we have in our lives is the ability to change our condition – it is perfectly possible to shrug off the effects of years of programming… sorry, schooling, and find new ways to view life. We can learn new things that alter how we view entire realms of things we once thought of as basic fact. It is called a paradigm shift.

The paradigm or basic understanding of something alters when we learn a new piece of information that changes the balance of the things we knew. In earlier posts I talked about the landscape of Mind, and how the rain of information can erode valleys, cause gullies and outcrops to form, and, stretching the analogy a little further, how it might be possible for a pond or lake of information to build behind a stubborn fact. Then one day, a particular droplet of knowledge undermines the rock of ‘fact’ & it tumbles, releasing the dammed up lake and causing a major change in the landscape.

That is a paradigm shift. The one droplet seems inconsequential in the overall scheme of things but it is the exact piece needed to move the block, and major changes come from it.

The information is not stored in the brain, but in the Mind. Minds are what brains do. The hologram field that is the tool of our active consciousness is, for all practical purposes, infinite in capacity. Even when the input channels get overloaded, the incredible capacity for associating and sorting in the brain will increase to handle it - that’s why neurons can develop new connections and why they are ‘refreshed’ so quickly - the brain can adjust.

The problem is, I think, not a matter at all of Information Overload, but rather of MIS-Information Overload. I think we are being bombarded constantly by BS from the media, from our governments, from advertising and from religion, and the ratio of shit to sugar has increased beyond our ability to detect the differences. The shite comes loaded in symbols actively designed to trigger processes in us and whatever truth there might be coming at us gets smothered in the avalanche of BS.

And just to make sure we can’t determine the differences, our children (and us in the past) have been cheated of Education by a system that sets us up as feedback robots. In other words, let an authority tell us something and we have a pretence of thought about it but we will feed back what was told us in the drill classes that are schools.

We are trained to live in our Spotlight Awareness, focus all the time on the immediate NOW moment, putting all our processing behind what is being fed to us. We have lost sight of the fact (and it is a fact) that we have an entire other level of awareness, the Floodlight Awareness, that can take in all the rest of the environment and make sense of it in different ways to that of the Spotlight.

We can focus only on a tiny part of the information coming at us every second, which is why advertising works - they give us an up-front story to engage our focus, usually using sex, but sometimes other trigger symbols, and feed the misinformation in through the neglected Floodlight Awareness and because we are so engaged in the focus level, we don’t censor or even register the messages coming at us from the periphery of awareness.

But it is impossible for the mere humans doing this stuff to get the level of coherence achieved by Reality, so this misinformation coming in starts to creates mismatches in the association process - and because it is coming in with the authorioty of symbolism behind it, it creates direct conflict with other ‘known’ facts.

I think this is the source of confusion, not that we are learning so much more now as the spiral of growth in knowledge tightens. I think we can handle all that, even if we need to learn greater finesse in selectivity - what we cannot handle are the lies, the manipulations of truth and the control mechanisms being implanted in us by the media around us.

In our schools most children have their joy of learning knocked about. Some few who happen to enjoy the learning style or who have an aptitude for picking up facts quickly, can pass through the system and come out as the stars used to encourage others to conform. And here and there, there are those for whom the system is irrelevant - unfortunately those that can go through the processes and come out still sane and healthy are few and far between - mostly they get it kicked out of them early and they become the problem child.

It’s quite a journey going back and looking at just who decided on the Education system and why. While some of the names involved are deemed stellar personalities by our modern world, when you look at why they involved themselves and who they represented, they become far more sinister.

The path to Spirituality has been corrupted from a time far earlier than the late 1800’s - with far more time to enact what seems obviously a plan, they have made it very difficult for the majority of people to even conceive of the benefits of finding the inner being - instead we mostly lock it away and live in a surface persona that can respond and interact in ‘approved’ ways. This process is so effective we, at the least, shy away from those who are finding themselves and at worst, we actively connive with others to bring them back into the fold.

The Intervention process is a good one for when someone is going off the rails to the point of self damage in a variety of ways, but I’ve seen it used simply because someone was having thoughts that didn’t agree, or worse, conflicted with those of the oversight. It is in such things we get pointers to the processes being run on us, to the unseen hands pushing us down paths which, were we in full possession of ourselves, strong in both self and floodlight awareness, we would refuse to go.

The good news is, I think, that once a being sees any of the influences that take away our free choice, it is an internal process to start on the path back to self-hood and we are in an age where we don’t have to journey to Alexandria or some mystical place to find information. And when we find the information, we have opportunity to apply it and learn from it and build foundations that allow us to consciously withstand the pressures for conformity being foisted on us by media and peers.

Those who are more than 40 years of age tend to look at the learning of the up and coming generation and wonder what they learn in school these days and how some of them seem to be so dumb about basic things. We tend to blame the modern system, or lazy/incompetent teachers.

But the dumbing down began in other ways, a long time ago. We have been detached from our salvation - the Buddha, the Christ and others have all taught that enlightenment, advancement and salvation is about a personal relationship between a person and the sublime (whatever name you wish to give it) But the majority of people grow up within a system where the personal relationship has been superseded by an oversight, someone to tell us what is right and wrong, to tell us the exact minutiae of the path to the Godhead.

All this begs the question of why they do all this. I think the reason is so they can perpetrate other iniquities in relative safety. A population largely untrained in critical thinking processes, uneducated in basic symbolism, and trained to listen to authority as a source of knowledge, can be manipulated and maneuvered, indoctrinated and controlled with little chance of the majority reacting.

And they have that nice little ‘Conspiracy Theorist’ conspiracy theory to take care of those who might see through the curtain. (the CT theory is one I’ve spoken about before – by setting up ridiculous figures to spout all kinds of nonsense about UFOs (for example) the general public has been conditioned to respond to anybody labeled as a Conspiracy Theorist with ridicule, hilarity and derogatory comment. Now, if someone comes forth and tries to explain how ‘group A’ is manipulating things for their own benefit, ‘group A’ simply calls them a Conspiracy Theorist and the general public will obediently ignore any facts that might show group A’s work.

It’s a nice little protection against being found out, and keeps the Powers That Be safe from the exposure that would cause even the dumb sheep of the general population from finding their freedom.

A few posts back I talked about how the politicians and the system is controlling us, taking our freedom and our lvies away from our own control and trapping us more and more within rules and constraints. The question is, how can they do this? How can so many people be allowing such venal types to run our world?

I think they can do it because we’ve been nobbled over a long period – piece by piece, rule by rule, always with the explanations of how justified such things are, we’ve been conned into allowing our children to become victims of a program that doesn’t have either our interests or that of the society we like to think we live in, at heart.

We’ve been dumbed down, in more than one way - Charlotte Thomson Iserbyt has chapter and verse on what the education system has been doing to us.

Those ten years (1971-1981) changed my life. As an American who had spent many years working abroad, I had experienced traveling in and living in socialist countries. When I returned to the United States I realized that America’s transition from a sovereign constitutional republic to a socialist democracy would not come about through warfare (bullets and tanks) but through the implementation and installation of the “system” in all areas of government-federal, state and local. The brainwashing for acceptance of the “system’s” control would take place in the school-through indoctrination and the use of behavior modification, which comes under so many labels, the most recent labels being Outcome-Based Education, Skinnerian Mastery Learning or Direct Instruction. In the seventies I and many others waged the war against values clarification, which was later renamed “critical thinking,” which regardless of the label-and there are bound to be many more labels on the horizon-is nothing but pure, unadulterated destruction of absolute values of right and wrong upon which stable and free societies depend and upon which our nation was founded.

And from J.T. Gatto’s Underground History of American Education…

organized society; like most first impressions, it is the lasting one. Life according to school is dull
and stupid, only consumption promises relief: Coke, Big Macs, fashion jeans, that’s where real
meaning is found, that is the classroom’s lesson, however indirectly delivered.

Schooling creates obedient little consumers who can be programmed to accept anything delivered the right way.

In the previous post I talked about the possibilities of the beginnings of both the Universe and of Life. They range from random chance on everything to God making everything happen in an ongoing manner.

There’s a common problem with every one of these - what was there before the Universe? Once we posit that there WAS a ‘Before’ then any of the scenarios becomes possible. This is where the whole Creation argument belongs, while, with the exception of number 5-c, evolution could be a factor in the development of all of them.

Instead Evolutionists like to get pulled into the whole ‘there is no God’ argument and Creationists like to get pulled into the ‘He didn’t need Evolution’ argument. I’ve come to the conclusion that as stated by Edward de Bono, the creation of funnels to categorise things is a very bad thing. More and more the funnellers expand their definitions of ‘other’ to include more and more people who aren’t exactly like themselves.

It starts with (say) Democrat/Republican - the Funneller identifies with all Democrats and everyone else gets dumped through the Republican funnel. But then s/he begins to notice that not all democrats are the same - in fact some have decidedly Republican ideas and leanings - wham, down through the Republican funnel they go. The process continues until the only people who are identified as ‘us’ are those with almost exactly the same ideas, ideals and thoughts as the Democrat.

We see it in the Christian /Islamic/Jewish camps, where they subdivide themselves based on criteria that are meaningless to anyone not of their creed. We see it in Evolutionists where they subdivide according to Absolute Random Chance, Punctuated Random Chance, Guided Evolution etc. We even see it at a higher level where Believers and Atheists are seen as being opposites, yet both are believers - they use the subject of belief to isolate the other group. The true opposite of both of the groups is actually those who have no belief - mostly these are Agnostics. Agnostics withhold belief, preferring to wait for evidence.

Funnels are bad and a lazy way to think. In this debate (Evolution versus Creation or ID) the opponents usually enthusiastically embrace the funnels, willfully dividing the debaters into a variety of labels and spend their time lambasting the opposition with no hope of ever converting them - they aren’t arguing about the same things!
