Brainwashing - What is it?
Brainwashing is the exchange of one or more beliefs for another or others. Usually this is done to promote someone else's belief system such that their personal, political, religious or monetary agenda becomes a paramount concept in the brainwashed. The brainwashed then act as a tool or "useful idiot" as Lenin often said of his minions/supporters.
Ordinarily we think of brainwashing as a FORCED change in beliefs. But the change of beliefs can be subtle and unrecognized on the subconscious level. Movies, TV and media induce false beliefs on the subtle level by example and repetition. For instance, we are constantly hammered with the belief the President of the United States is the "Leader of the Free World". Nothing could be further from the truth yet everyone accepts this belief as true because everyone sees everyone else accepting it as true (peer pressure). In reality and law the President of the United States leads nothing beyond the Executive Branch which includes the US military.
One's belief about any subject is their truth about that subject.
Another example of belief held as truth when it is not is the belief the federal government runs America. This is another false belief promoted widely and incessantly so much that everyone takes it as an axiomatic truth. The reality is the People, acting as individuals, are the supreme power in America. These ones, acting through their states, are the rulers of America. The federal government is an agent of these individuals (through the House of Representatives) and representing the states (through the Senate, originally). The individuals created their communities and states which in turn created the centralized federal government AS A SERVANT to aide and assist in those aspects of commerce and general government as require uniformity between/for the states and people.
It has been further drilled into people's false beliefs that they are impotent and unintelligent sufficient to operate independently - they need guidance from "experts" such as coaches, bureaucrats, teachers and police. A couple of generations ago people believed in themselves and their abilities to manage their lives. It was called "rugged individualism". A person relied upon themselves to create, build and manage their own affairs. Since then the people have been brainwashed into the false belief they are inept and require constant assistance from some one or many artificial systems.
Now comes along the so-called NWO with its concocted beliefs in lack, imcompetent citizenry, forced conformity, lack of resources, lack of money, lack of opportunity and the rest of their dogma and doctrine founded in these false ideas of limitation. The other half of their false belief system is because of the foregoing dire situations and circumstances the world requires an astute and capable management team (elite political, business and religious leaders) to manage these limitations so everyone gets an equal share of the dwindling pie.
Creativity can solve all problems as it has through all of history. Creativity manifests through individuals - never through groups of whatever ilk whether the group be a political party, team, religious organization, government or corporation. It has always been creative individuals who've solved problems of seeming lack and supplied the plenty once experienced in America. As the creative individuals have been shut down, by those who believe in lack, so has the plenty until scarcity and lack are now seen everywhere - a manifestation of the false belief in lack and limitation.
What in the past raised America to hitherto unseen plenty was the belief in an unlimited future experience. This belief has been replaced by its opposite and most now take that belief as truth. This illustrates the current political chaos is not about politics at all. It is about adherence to different beliefs - limitation in incompetent humanity on one hand and unlimited creativity and capability on the other. The good news is we all get to choose which beliefs to believe that will determine our futures notwithstanding those who wish to FORCE their beliefs onto us for their benefit.
Brain washing requires
Brain washing requires some things other wise it would be considered education. It is early in the morning here so I am not to sure how you would distinguish the two apart from testing the final product.
A personal who will not accept any contradictions or critiques of his view, whether it is about God, Socialism, or a Conspiracy, I think has been brain washed.
But on the other hand I think some times you need to brain washed. Especially those who are so committed to harmful activities or philosophies.
The Angry Little Wizards
originally written 2003, 03/21
Anger is fear coupled with a feeling of helplessness to abate that fear or simply in not knowing how to deal with it. Some don't even realize they have fear. Some don't know they are angry. The are many living in perpetual fear and anger though. The quantity of fear balanced against an inability to deal with it varies by degrees. Some are a little fearful. Others are greatly fearful. The ones who have deeply embedded fears of great proportion are the bullies of the world and other types of control freaks. You can know who these ones are by how they treat others: bullying them, scaring them, taking their property, constricting their freedoms, greed, lust, power grabbing, absolute need to be right, etc. These ones are the war-makers on the innocent (those in less fear or without fear). Fearfilled bulies are not consigned to a single classification or label.
In fact the bullies of the world masquerade behind labels and masks of every type and stripe:
These Terrified Little Wizards present deceptive masks as Democrats, Republicans, neo-conervatives, socialists, communists, environmentalists, experts, bankers, FBI/CIA/Mossad/KGB, preachers, rabbis, governments, Christians, Jews, Muslems, teachers and sometimes even as your friends. Any label of authority will do.
They hide behind these masks and labels because they are truly TERRIFIED to be seen and known. They have such a terrible opinion about themselves filled with pain, shame and guilt. They are afraid that if others saw them the way they see themselves they would be in mortal danger. So they create these masks and labels and hide from all the world to see. This dynamic is absolutely wrong but they are too terrified to confront their self-created fears and thus realize the opinion they have of themselves is nothing more than their own twisted (unreal) self-judgement and self-condemnation.
We, as dumbed down and "innocent" as we are, often think the mask or label is who the person behind the mask is. We've been brainwashed to take the mask at face value and trained not to question that presented as truth when all the time it is a deception skillfully designed to deceive and manipulate, to hide and obfuscate.
We awaken in direct proportion to our ability to ask WHY?, WHO?, WHEN?, WHAT?, WHERE? and HOW? The more we ask the more we learn the more we grow and the more we awaken. We egos have an innate trait and desire to trust and take that perceived as truth. It is easier to appease fear by going along to get along than to confront those fears. The ego cannot know much being limited to its sensory perceptions and (ir)rationalizations. These are always limited and therefore misleading. Only the courageous and OPEN MIND constantly questioning those perceptions (masks and labels) can know Truth. As long as the masks and labels are taken for face value we will be deceived and controlled by those wielding those masks and labels.
Question everything all the time !!!
When we understand there is only Love "out there" we begin to realize there is only Love "inside" of us. Love is all there is. The only thing preventing any from knowing this is their own judgements based on imperfect egoic determinations. Every atom of every molecule is constructed by and maintained by Love (sympathetic association, vibration and affinity). Each human whether friend or foe is likewise constructed and maintained. So how could anyone knowing this maintain another human is filled with hate or is vile and violent? The bully only thinks he is vile and violent and therefore must perpetuate a masking and hiding or false front. I can see through those false fronts and masks and deceptive words and actions. I KNOW everyone is made of Love and nothing but Love if for no other reason than no atom or molecule whatsoever can exist without Love.
The Little Wizards are misleading themselves by believing in their own mental creations (illusions, beliefs). This is a form of insanity, if not THE definition of insanity. If they stopped waging war on the world around them and took three deep breathes and asked simply "Why am I doing this?" their nightmare would be over. Sanity and peace comes in knowing who you are - Love.
Spirit of America
written 12/09/02
Up until a short time ago America and Americans (in general) were very much admired around the world. Having traveled in foreign countries I often encountered this sentiment. This admiration has tarnished recently. This because people erroneously assume Americans are their government. The so-called government has not and does not represent the American people or those ideals that made America what it was. Perhaps nowdays with the internet more people around the world are beginning to see and understand this. America is not the only target of the NWO. When "America" whimiscally bombs another nation people are beginning to see it is not America at all but it is the deranged insanity of those who've seized power over our government and act contrary to all civil decency. The problem with this whole scenario is most Americans still cling to the lie their government represents them. Or they still believe in the lies that government brainwashes them with. Fortunately many are waking up to the ughly truth. Yes, individual Americans can be ughly with poor social graces but we are beginning to see the government is the ughliest of ughlies. There are times recently I am ashamed to be an American. The reasons for being proud have been diminishing lately. Then on the other hand there are countless Americans waking up with an ideal to bring correction to the situation. Correction is happening but with so much momentum built up it may be awhile before we see any actual change in direction. Things will most likely get ughlier in the short term before they get better for the long term.
What is empowering to think of is the "American Spirit". It is still active, still powerful and still discernible. This Spirit, embodied in the people, is truly extraordinary in terms of generosity, creativity, liveliness, industry, charitable, helpful and the like. Despite of all the restrictions placed upon us as a people by conspiratorial agendas, devalued currency, false treaties, fascist laws and all the rest this spirit still lives. It is but asleep for the most part. However it is awakening in direct proportion to the troubles and difficulties accumulating upon us. This spirit is the same spirit that actuates everyone everywhere. America had an advantage in its youth of developing without limitations which freed that spirit in ways not possible in older more "in the rut" countries tied down by traditions, culture, etc. Interestingly this spirit is being awakened world-wide by Americans. Not by their government which apparently seeks to damp that spirit. Americans are leading the charge so to speak in awakening themselves and all who seek to follow. None are more sensitive to lost freedoms and denied rights than Americans because we have had a taste of freedom more so than others. The internet, developed in America, and extended to the rest of the world is an American invention and development firmly anchored in our First Amendment rights of Free Speech. And through Free Speech we are informing ourselves and everyone else on every conceivable topic. This capability is now in most other countries. The internet is doing an end-run around the propaganda machinations that have kept everyone believing they are asleep. To awaken means to become more aware and that is what is happening in every country around the world. Ironically the internet was in part initially developed by the American military, space programs and universities, as a means of control. It didn't become anything great or liberating until actual American people got onto it. Their desire for the internet and their money to support that desire created the hardware and software industries without which the internet would not be what it is today. Just as the article indicated Americans are derived from all other countries. Americans are now going back to all other countries - in spirit and awareness. It is not that Americans are so great. They are just people. It is the Spirit, liberated from restraints of living in past beliefs, that is great. And this Spirit knows no political, religious or cultural boundaries. It is a global human thing and it is awakening.
