Power Outside The Matrix: beyond mind control
OutsideTheRealityMachine
There are two major effects of overall mind control.
The first is the distracting and confusing of thought processes.
This is defeated and kept at bay by logic, a discipline employed by Plato 2400 years ago and refined by his student, Aristotle.
Today, logic needs to be expanded and updated to deal with the flood of information and misinformation we encounter every day.
The second overall effect of mind control is the repression of the individuals creative impulse. Creation and imagination are, of course, the energies that bring about the invention of new realities.
All forms of mind control target the individual so that he passively accepts the reality presented to him.
Taken together, logic and imagination are the most formidable force in the liberation of the individualhis consciousness and his action.
That liberation should be the goal of any sane teaching.
It is the goal of my collection, Power Outside the Matrix.
Expanding ones own power involves the conscious projection of new realities.
Previously, the notion of projection has been the property of the pseudoscience called psychology. The concept has been twisted to mean the blind projection of ones own negative images and feelings on to other people.
Beyond this blip on the radar of human existence, there emerges a far greater kind of projection: conscious and imaginative invention of new futures. That is where liberated individual power travels and operates and works.
The objective of my third and most recent collection, Power Outside the Matrix, is the launching (and stabilizing) of this breakthrough.
This collection contains a long section called, Analyzing Disinformation in the Age of Information.
It explains the buying and selling of false realitiesa major occupation in the Matrix.
The key is having the tools to analyze realities, take them apart, and apply logic and other critical methods to these structures.
Ive been at this for 30 years. In this section of Power Outside The Matrix, I offer key examples from my own extensive investigations.
The cults in charge of selling false realities try to bypass the rational mind and instead covertly appeal to automatic reflex functions.
The most important of these reflex functions is: investing emotions in presented images. This is the primary strategy of informational mind control on the planet.
During my 30 years as a reporter covering the news behind the news, Ive seen countless instances in which the Matrix shows up, swims into view.
The Matrix, the central image, is a lie. But not just any lie.
It is very deep, shared, hypnotic picture of reality.
People need more powermore individual power, so they can both stand and operate outside the Matrix.
Limited concepts of space, time, and energythese, too, are given to human beings as the be-all and end-all of a story. A story that ultimately short-circuits and short-changes what the individual is really capable of.
The entire mural of imposed Reality is aimed at radically diminishing the individuals power.
So in addition to my work as an investigative reporter, Ive been researching the individuals ability to go beyond this mural of reality.
In the late 1980s, in concert with the brilliant hypnotherapist Jack True (who gave up doing hypnosis with his patients), I developed many exercises and techniques for expanding the creative power of the individual. Both Jack and I were continuing a tradition that goes all the way back to early Tibet.
Some of those exercises are included in a section of Power Outside The Matrix titled The Invention Of New Reality. These techniques are aimed at accessing more energy, more imagination, more stability and intelligence beyond the mural of reality.
Power Outside The Matrix is all about being able to think, act, and create both outside and inside The Matrix. Because thats the goal: to be able to function in both places.
People are consciously or unconsciously fixated on boundaries and systems. They are hoping for whatever can be delivered through a system.
That fixation is a form of mind control.
Freedom isnt a system.
But freedom needs creative power, otherwise it just sits there and becomes a lonely statue gathering dust in an abandoned park.
At one time or another, every human being who has ever lived on this planet has abandoned his creative power. The question is: does he want to get it back?
It never really goes away. It is always there. It is the basis of a life that can be lived. A life that can be chosen. People instead choose roles that dont require that power. They think this is a winning strategy.
It isnt.....
