Turning for Home... (Waking up part 2)

The sceptic and the atheist alike, despite all protestations to the contrary, tend to keep one eye open for proof as they know deep down on some instinctive level that choosing not to believe in the devil does nothing to protect you from him.

I have witnessed my share of wheels within wheels over time, and consider myself aware enough of the hidden workings of agendas; I have seen the effect of misinformation on conspiracy up close to understand fully that, regardless of how spectacular the human mind is, it is terribly easy to fool.

Most people will fight to the death over a slight and for a crumb, but will do nothing to resist their own enslavement.

Fertile ground requires conflict, and abuse thrives where there are just enough differences so as to seperate people. Compound that with the fact that most people have mismatched and questionable grounding to start with and you will appreciate why loyalty appears so simple to the initiated to push right over. Truth becomes fiction quite easily in these circumstances, and those trained in the dark art of manipulation can preach to a crowd of people all sitting in the same place listening to the same story but hearing different things completely depending not on what is being said, but on words that they have heard many times over and over again used in similar ways or to say the same sounding thing.

This is not the heart or the purpose; this construct, these bells and whistles only serve one purpose and that is to slowly herd the listeners together and get them to agree on the conclusion.

Effectively done, that is supreme power.

The real estate of people's minds are easily ceded as most people are either unwilling or too lazy to go beyond surface belief. For many alive today Santa Claus, Jesus and the tooth fairy occupies the same mind space and all have their justifications as to why they believe what they believe. 

This is where popular culture comes in.

Seizing on this laziness, popular culture continuously answers the unasked questions in different ways so as to free the thinker and secure the believer. By doing most if not all of the heavy lifting here one never 'knows' anything but believes what one is conditioned to believe.

In this we are no longer individuals on a common road but social animals tethered to the same mainframe fed our vitals  and instructed where to be during the dance.

That many mistake this for safety and consider it a good place to raise the kids demonstrate our abdication of free will and opens our children's minds to this same abuse.

If you ever wanted to truly change the world, all you had to do was raise your children free of the herd mentality, capable of living inside it successfully but able to do their own thinking and adept at arriving at their own conclusions, as the greatest trick the devil ever played was to get the world to believe that he didn't exist.

The lesson in this is quite simple, as are the choices.

Either follow your impulses, trust your hunches, resist the herd mentality and find your way back to free, or remain a slave to a system that sees you only as a worker drone and a consumer, with a life planned around a dream that you will never quite achieve.

Consciousness is calling...
