“The most advanced and effective form of control is when those being
manipulated are totally unaware of it.
It follows that if you are being
successfully exploited right now, you will be oblivious to it and
therefore the willing fodder of the controllers.”
Lets not suggest for a moment that there is some huge worldwide
conspiracy, but that there are a number of controlling influences acting
simultaneously may make it appear that way.
The most common underlying
motivation for such control is greed, often disguised in some claim of
making things better for everyone, to make things safer etc. It is not in
human nature to love ones neighbour as oneself.
However, it is often good
to create the impression that we really do care, if we are the controller.
Fear may often be secondary motivating factor used to dampen independent
thought.
Fear motivates us to protect that which already has been obtained
by greed.
There is a slight problem for any controller however. A small number of
individuals are at least partially immune to any form of control and are
aware of the foul odour it gives off, however faint.
It
can be a desperately confusing situation for these particular individuals
as they may be seeing white when everyone around them says they see black.
They may be seeing men with sticks knocking little balls around when
everyone around them thinks golf is serious business.
To keep their
invisible control intact and effective, it is in the interest of the
controller to keep marginalizing these particular individuals.
The
controller would seem to have the advantage, as these persons are so few
and far between that the chance of them joining together and in some way
validating a different experience of the world would be somewhat remote.
Most people have a need to fit
in and belong, so many suppress the glimpses of awareness they may be
having. There are a myriad of ways of actively inducing mental numbness to
achieve this, the most obvious being alcohol or drug abuse, but the list
of possibilities is endless.
Others, thinking they are alone with their
disturbing perceptions are defeated by the continuing alienation they feel
and ultimately descend into various levels of insanity to cope with life.
Then there is the “clean up crew”. These are groups formed by people who
have some limited awareness of the truth but have decided to use it to
their own advantage. The foul odour of the controller has become a sweet
fragrance for them. They desperately want a small piece of the action for
themselves. They may form or be part of religious or marketing groups for
example. However, they just become unwitting agents of the controller as
they further scramble the truth.
The aware ones that survive somewhat intact
from all of this, we will call
the emerging prophets.
When does a person called to be a prophet become one you may ask?
Is it after the prophets first utterance?
Will the prophet speak to ears that are deaf?
If the prophet speaks now, what would this achieve, but the prophets own
demise?
Yes, ears must be opened first?
The prophet must wait until
spring!
Advice not to take.
Stand tall.
You make a better target.
