The Paradigm Conspiracy
Walking the Truth vs. Sleepwalking

We are not walking the full truth of who we are because we're "sleepwalking", unconscious of our immense abilities. Instead, we've come to believe that those abilities don't exist for us. Even people educated at the best schools in this system experience education as indoctrination. The advantage for power-over institutions is obvious. People no longer indulge in big-picture thought. Control paradigm systems want the human brain to be an obedient machine, not a mind.

The Control Paradigm posing as a "philosophy"

The dumbing down - becoming less than who we are - brings us face to face with one of the control paradigm's most powerful devices for achieving control. The control paradigm presents itself as a "philosophy", as if it's innocently telling us what's what.  It even insists that its mechanistic, materialistic, control-measured picture of reality depicts the "real world" and tells us how to  be practical in the world of facts and things, dogs eating dogs and sharks eating whatever. The more our reality can be reduced to objects, this "philosophy" tells us, and the less we trouble ourselves with ideas, values and other intangibles, the more we understand the "realities" of the control universe.

Adopting this philosophy as "the most practical way to maximize our personal sphere of control", we don't notice that we're made controllable in the process. To "buy into" the "philosophy" is to become controllable by its "values" of external rewards and suggested into a view of ourselves that is not true to our nature and potential as True Human Beings. But, the control paradigm isn't philosophy. It doesn't encourage free thought or dialogue. It doesn't develop our minds or souls. It doesn't invite inquiry into its core assumptions, strategies, responses and goals. Instead, it functions as a mind-control trance.

The control paradigm comes across as "the one way" to experience reality, and it doesn't make room for alternative perspectives. To do so would go against the control agenda. As a result, the control paradigm in truth has little in common with philosophy and much in common with propaganda and mind control methods - trance inducers, the kind Hitler was skilled at using.

Trance guises

In order to work, mind control methods must be hidden or pass as something seen as socially acceptable. The trick to a manipulative trance - as opposed to a therapeutic one - is that it remains unnoticed. The trance-inducers need a good guise.

Conditioning and manipulation of others are always weapons and instruments in the hands of those in power, even if these weapons are disguised with the terms "education" and "therapeutic treatment". The control paradigm uses all of the above, but ultimately posing as a "philosophy" is its greatest cover. Posing as a "philosophy" lends the control paradigm an "air of authority".  If we recognized mind-control methods, saw through their disguises, and named them as such, they would lose their effectiveness.

Anatomy of a Trance

Selective focus that by-passes the critical faculty. A trance state is when our minds voluntary choose to bypass their critical faculty and focus selectively, with consciousness fixated and focused to a relatively narrow frame of attention rather than  being diffused over a broad area.

Suggestibility - Humans can be highly suggestible, which allows the by-passing of the critical faculty. It is a matter of record how subtle cues and suggestions can influence and even control people's minds and behavior.

But "I'm not in trance!" - Hypnosis is in fact not so much a "state" but a process of selective focusing that we choose to engage in, since many of the characteristics of the trance process apply to other processes of consciousness as well. In fact, when people are in a trance "state", many swear they're not. They have no sense of altered consciousness when responding to suggestion and do not believe themselves to be in trance,

Trance as a Tool of Oppression - The Dark Side of Trance. The very power of the trance suggests its potential as a tool of oppression - for making us less than who we are. Although there are positive uses for hypnosis, negative trance conditioning is very different. The mind-control uses of the trance process are thousands of years old and permeate control-paradigm institutions. Let's take a look how two master oppressors, Hitler and Eichmann, used the process in the concentration camps:

• Eliminating the critical faculty - Prisoners were taken from their homes, deprived of all possessions, stripped naked, shaved head to toe, and mass showered. They were treated as if they were sub-human. The impact of this was that all the assumptions they had ever made no longer applied. Inmates went into shock and their ability to think was shut down. The critical faculty was gone.

• Narrowed focus on survival - The brutality of camp life made prisoners think only on the barest survival level. Every thought focused on how to stay warm, get food and avoid the wrath of the guards. Thinking became highly selective. No one could form any reliable strategies.

• Normal emotions were removed and camp emotions implanted - Given the shock of the experience, emotions shut down, including the emotions of disgust, horror and pity. Apathy took over - the inability to care about anything. The prisoners gave up their normal ways of responding. Instead, new responses were implanted ("suggested") - the desire to save one's life, not to antagonize the guards, to submerge into the crowd, even to do "favors" for the guards in order to gain a "favored position". The responses that the guards wanted from the prisoners were unquestioning obedience, abject submission, and lack of personal will except for what the guards permitted. Suggestions were also implanted to the effect that human beings had no intrinsic worth, only extrinsic usefulness to authorities.

• Aware of the trance or not? - Those who bought the trance didn't last long. Those who allowed their inner hold on their moral and spiritual selves to subside eventually fell victim to the camp's degenerating influences, and their bodies soon followed suit. The trance of dehumanization overcame them without their conscious awareness or resistance.

Coming out of the Trance to Walk Our Truth

• Philosophy - Reawakening our critical faculties

• Prayer or mediation - Letting our minds roam the big picture

• Correcting dehumanizing suggestions

  • De-suggesting cultural influences. We decide not to give dehumanizing trances our assent or energies. The man who stood in front of the army tank in Tianenman Square in China was not in a control paradigm, fear and submission trance. His no-trance response apparently broke the trance of the driver of the tank. Another example is when the Berlin Wall came down. The wall symbolized a political control paradigm trance for almost 50 years, Once the control paradigm trance broke, the wall came down almost overnight.

• Expanding awareness - Once we're awake, we're awake, and we have choices: trance or no trance. Of course, waking up from the control-paradigm trance is not what society encourages.
