Speaking My Mind, Part 5: The Society

This video makes religious powers that be look bad but inevitably, makes all religion look like Crap! This video also shows just how lost in there own ego the world leaders are today. Until you can go to yourself for the truth and stop looking around you for the truth you will always be afraid and confused. The whole truth will tell you everything you need to know and how to do anything.

It is the "powers that be" plan to tell you what they will intend to do indirectly [conspiracy theories] so you will be horrified by the truth and constrict you. Until you take action, you only know but do not care, is that your fault? Again, the answer is NO the powers that be who control what we should value and what we should think have conditioned us not to care and we incorporate that into our egoistic actions. As I have said until you break free from the system in our Ego's we cannot break free from the system that corruptly controls society.

Have you ever noticed that the powers that be seem to communicate to us by flattery of our strengths (The Good Things We Do and what we stand for) and talk to our ego's? Well what part of the ego do they "talk" to? They talk to Our Fears, Our insecurities, Our Hatreds, Our Doubts and Our Weakness! This is how they speak to us, they speak to us through our own personal illusions and than make those illusion into altered realities where they blame these realities on there enemies, whether abstract or potentially real but ironically, can be our source of strength.

What about that unreleased and pent-up anger that the video throws at you? The "Powers that be" know how to use your anger to help further there needs and interests. All it needs is one person to release their violence upon "the world" and BOOM you have another enemy and another poor excuse to fight wars that should not have been fought in the first place!

Yes the powers that be are the elite people at the top they are incredibly influential and wealthy however, You to are the elite, to be more exact if you can read, write, have money, live somewhere, have insurance, own a car and other first world stuff you are also the elite. Of course, if you have the internet connection to watch this guess what you are the elite. The people who are not elite are the third world people uneducated and stupid. Therefore, it should be with our genuine desire to help them to become the elite!

These divisionary titles must end, class, color, left/right parties, where you live, what you like, how you do things... It must end! The powers that be have only one thing in common: "Divide et impera" or DIVIDE AND CONQUER! The number one form of creating a division is to look outside of yourself and listening to what others have to say about you. There is a difference between Negative and Positive Peer Pressure. The powers that be take advantage of your insecurity and your fears, we respond to that shove of negative peer pressure. The result is in the dualistic qualities in this global society!

There are two historical figures in American history who have said it best: George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. George Washington said "I have already [implied] to you the danger of parties in the State, with particular reference to the founding of them on geographical discriminations. Let me now take a more comprehensive view, and warn you in the most solemn manner against the [destructive] effects of the [need to separate] parties, generally. This [need to separate], unfortunately, is inseparable from our nature, having its root in the strongest passions of the human mind. It exists under different shapes in all governments, more or less [crushed], controlled, or repressed; but, in those of the popular form, it is seen in its greatest [size], and is truly [the free people's] worst enemy."

I have taken out two parts of the House divide speech and put them in one phrase when Abraham Lincoln said: "A house divided against itself cannot stand... It will become all one thing or all the other." So as you can see, divide and conquer is very un-American. It is the most un-American thing you can do, and yet this is what is happening to Americans as they do it to themselves and they do it to people around them.

At one point it was all about a Republic that stood for freedom and justice for all but today it seems to me it is all about serving not the needs of the people who supposedly elected them, rather it is now only this supposed Republic that now serves the highest bidder and the most influential. After all this house will become one thing or the other and look, look at what it has become.

I'm not the Powers that be trying to make you forget about conspiracy theories like as if they were the whole truth. I am an adult from somewhere in suburbia only trying to knock some common sense into people. I say get along in a genuine way but remember to value your own sovereignty (as a nation) and individuality (as a person).

I have only one thing to say to that! Regardless if Jesus never existed or not there still is a message and that message should be followed. The message is more important even just by a small fraction than the messenger. However, the messenger's life has much wisdom to be found and thus should not be brushed off so easily! The problem with this society hearing that "Jesus Never Existed" is that, they will dismiss the whole point of the Christian Message. This means that Christianity falls at apart unless they know another way to explain it.

It can be understood psychologically from what Carl G. Jung called archetypes which were models made in the mind that represented something of great importance to the individual and society whether it be good or bad (Example, Satan or the Gnostic Demiurge represents Ego desires and Ignorance). There are many archetypes in the unconscious mind.

The Gnostics often used what is called Transformative Myth to enlighten the reader. Myths should not be written off as just a story you read to a child and not really think about its meaning. Myths are meant to be thought about they are a message within a message, with myths comes introspection and asking yourself "How does this myth connect to my nature?" It should be added that, myths can contain some historical points as well. For example, Homers "The Odyssey" speaks of a Greek hero name Odysseus lost at sea with his men for many years after the Trojan War. The Trojan War happened but not the others stuff like meeting the Cyclops or meeting Calypso on some island. Rather there was a lesson to be learned throughout the myth and within each part of the myth.

To the Gnostic, it was about enlightenment not some shallow and blind "believing" that was the Gnostic salvation, despite much antagonist words spoken against Gnostics the enlightenment is available to those who stop looking outside of themselves for everything we feel like we want and need such as happiness, truth and a variety of other things.

Gnostics do not worry too much whether or not the various religious writings have some historical accuracy like as if it happened. Rather they understand it is always happening so therefore what they read is living and real in this moment. And it's true, think about it, Jesus was killed spreading a message of love and truth but, he was innocent of any real crimes, compared to that of Barabbas. This shows how injustice persecutes innocent people in everyday life, I am sure somewhere in the world someone was just killed trying to help fix a problem, instead of instigating the problem further.

VII. The Secret

I could fix my life, I had various things' I wanted to improve and only something's were improved but more so through action rather than just "thinking about it." I could pass my road test, I used The Secret to try and pass my road test but I still have my learners permit they said just by simply visualizing my objective I would achieve it. I could have my hearts desire, I was passionate about getting things I wanted to accomplish and have. I still yet to have them.

What if I did not want this to happen- This is a mass video project designed to generate self-loathing or hatred for who you are! It disguised to make your thoughts look bad and shows you "how to correct that!"

Health Issues - how do I visualize myself not having certain health conditions? I can agree that it would be ones fault for certain health conditions but I cannot see how it can help get over ones conditions w/o the assistance of the placebo effect.

Does this mean everything in The Secret is a big lie, No like I said throughout this video project everything is covered in Half-truths. Some thing in the video I could agree with but to what degree is arguable. I am not against visualizing your objective but only recently have I understood that just fully visualizing and no action is the thing that will run counter to trying to get to my goal.

War - How do I make peace happen on a global scale? To make peace with yourself is to make peace with the world around you but everyone must do so to make world peace.

Natural Disasters - I guess it is my fault the Tsunami hit Sri Lanka and it is my fault Global Warming is happening because, I thought about it!

Horrible Inconveniences - What about other horrible inconveniences' like diseases, extinct or endangered species in the ecology and what about other peoples live around me? I guess that person fell down the stairs because I thought it would look funny? It is my fault that certain animals are endangered and others extinct? It is my fault diseases like AIDS, Bird Flu are existent in the world?

The height of egoistic arrogance is the thought you alone can influence every aspect of your life experiences! I am someone who believes in destiny however this destiny in my life has one simple catch I can choose my response to the situation (which is out of my hand). I often give an example to better explain this:

You are walking down a path [representative: of my choice] and you arrive to a fork in the road. Both go through this thick forest [representative: of the situations]. However, one way goes quicker but it's a harder path to travel it involves climbing, jumping and other strenuous activities, while the other path is longer but it's a much easier path to walk on. The option is your choice it is where your freedom lies but it is inevitable that you will need to go through that thick forest.

The Secret is basically saying you can jump over that forest or make both paths one. The forest and paths have been around much longer than you have. You can only decide which path you walk on. Than The Secret claims that you make your own path as you go along. Yes, you make the path with your decisions and your life but that does not mean that the path you're walking on has not already been walked on!

People want to hear things that can empower them, people obviously feel helpless that there looking for something outside of themselves to empower them. When it reality it's the other way around it is within you that which will empower you. The powers that be tested everyone who bought into The Secret and guess what if you did you passed the test and now the powers that be know you are desperate for empowerment because, you feel weak and helpless.

By know your probably wondering what the powers that be are? There all the negativity wrapped up in your life! It manifests itself on TV, in all levels of government, in conflict and other things that we can control but think we can't control. "The powers that be" need us but we do not need them although we feel like we need them, this is the illusion set-up by them.

The more egotistical you are the more Machiavellian you are in nature. The powers that be are 100% Machiavellian in nature. To be Machiavellian means to have a tendency to deceive and manipulate others for personal gain, therefore, the Machiavellian Way of Thinking is basically just Ego going into full control of one's thoughts!

To know more about the way Machiavellian nature is expressed in the "Powers that be" one should read Niccolo Machiavelli's "The Prince." The book outlines how "The Prince" (aka Egoistic Desire for Power and Wealth) should choose the more egoistic path of human actions.

You know I was talking to my friend about a certain life lesson I had while growing up. Through careful observance and reflection of my life I had came to a realization of this only recently, I said to my friend: "You are the co-creator of your life... You are your boss, you are your workers, you are the problems that surround you, you are the things you love and things you hate... You are conflict and you are the problem solver... You are left and you are right... Everything in your life starts and ends with you." Yes, you are one of The Powers That Be. Therefore as one wise person said: "You should love your enemies...." This is why the Golden rule is the Golden rule, because, you are all of them to. But by understanding this you realize you're potential now to fix your problems and you have the power to help end the problems in the world around you. Remember, everything in your life starts and ends with you!

People cannot help but Get an Ego High; people want to be fed something that can give them the power to get everything they ever wanted. Thus, you sell them some video; make money and get all the things you wanted while people are only getting some if not very few of the things they wanted, but, even so that did not come by some shallow way of thinking about it, it was by action and a real passion of obtaining what they wanted.

Powers that be trying to probe the mind of society to see what they might believe, it's just one big distracting trick that is filled with half-truths and lies designed to make you go outside of yourself for more happiness. It shows the materialistic desires of the west in this film which only inflates your ego even more.

She was an advertiser and she used title and fancy visuals to get your money! This is true she knows how to sell a product! If you think she found some hidden knowledge and she genuinely wants to sell you this (I mean tell you this *cough*) knowledge than your stupid for being that naive. Everything is half-truths even that first half must be researched further. The other half must be understood with regards to the first half, in order to come to the full truth, and sometimes it runs counter than to where you began!

VIII. Conclusion of Speaking My Mind Project

The following Online videos and movies are designed to say something is wrong here. Basically "There is, without a shadow of a doubt, a "world" put over your eyes designed to make you think that what is in front of you is all there is, but this is not the case. This world is only an illusion one that you take part in but, you have forgotten that you can break free from it if you want to. There is something greater if you just seek it..."

Even these books and online texts are also saying the same thing. There are some questions and some have a more profound meaning than others however, they are all the same. Again to redefine what I am saying: "The world outside of you

A. Videos

(Online Video: YouTube) The Shock Doctrine Short Film - This is a short film indeed, however, for the shortness in that film it has a lot of information, information you should know if one day you to decide to spread the truth. Why should you know this if you seek to spread the truth? The system will always try to keep the truth from the masses.

(Online Movie: Google Video) America: Freedom to Fascism by Aaron Russo - This is a documentary done by Aaron Russo who passed away last summer. This documentary was done to do some research on The Fed. This is not some Zeitgeist copy cat it in fact is older than Zeitgeist and the maker of Zeitgeist used the material to create their own crooked tale.

(Movie) V for Vendetta - We see a man who's been very badly hurt by the government whose name is: "V" he is trying to save his nation from the lies and the tyranny of a government that came to power by the scared populace of England. This doesn't mean though that it couldn't happen in America.

(Movie) Da Vinci Code - It's a good myth, but there is a key lesson in the myth that shows only a few people actually know what is going on and everyone else just believes in one side, but does not know anything about the other side. The film is based on the literal interpretation of the highly symbolic and metaphorical Gnostic Gospels.

(Movie) Waking life- Waking Life is about a young man having multiple false awakenings. The film follows its protagonist as he initially observes and later participates in philosophical discussions that weave together issues like appearance and reality, free will, our relationships with others, and the meaning of life. Along the way the film touches on other topics including existentialism, situationist politics, and posthumanity. Situationism- Suggests that our behavior remains consistent as long as our situations

(Movie) The Matrix - A movie about the reality we perceive is actually the Matrix, a simulated reality created by sentient machines in order to pacify and subdue the human population while their bodies' heat and electrical activity are used as an energy source. Again, the concept is that the Powers that Be need us more than we need them, anything to keep Status Quo on the masses of humans and to keep us from being truly free.

B. Texts

1984 by George Orwell - It is the story of the life of the intellectual Winston Smith, his job in the Ministry of Truth, and his degradation by the totalitarian government of Oceania, the country in which he lives. The adjective "Orwellian" describes actions and organizations characteristic of Oceania, the totalitarian society depicted in the novel, and the phrase "Big Brother is watching you" refers to invasive surveillance that brainwashes and controls you.

Animal Farm by George Orwell - A novella by George Orwell, and is the most famous satirical allegory of Soviet totalitarianism. The novel describes how a society's ideologies can be changed and manipulated by individuals in positions of power. Including how the idea of utopia is seemingly impossible with the corruption of power.

Brave New World by Auldrous Huxley - The world the novel describes is a utopia, albeit an ironic one: humanity is carefree, healthy and technologically advanced. Warfare and poverty have been eliminated and everyone is permanently happy due to government-provided stimulation. The irony is that all of these things have been achieved by eliminating many things that humans consider to be central to their identity - family, culture, art, literature, science, religion, and philosophy. It is also a hedonistic society, deriving pleasure from promiscuous sex and drug use, especially the use of soma, a powerful drug taken to escape pain and bad memories through hallucinatory fantasies. Additionally, stability has been achieved and is maintained via deliberately engineered and rigidly enforced social stratification. - An Excerpt from the Wikipedia Summary

The Powers that Be by Walter Wink - The divine realm as central to human existence by offering new ways of understanding our world in theological terms. Walter Wink reformulates ancient concepts, such as God and the devil, heaven and hell, angels and demons, principalities and powers, in light of our modern experience. This book talks about how Jesus was a nonviolent resistor and how you to can nonviolently resist The Powers that Be.

A Scanner Darkly by Phillip K. Dick - The semi-autobiographical story was set in a dystopian Orange County, California in the then-future of June 1994. The book includes an extensive portrayal of drug culture and drug use. The Drug called Substance D has a scientific name called Mors ontologica, which translates as "ontological death", that is "death of being", or more loosely "the being of death itself". Some themes from the book are Police Surveillance, Drug Abuse, Destruction of one man with the intention of doing the "Greater Good" in society, and the construction of reality in ones consciousness.
