As a person's news source is, so will their perspective be — until one is a sovereign being and can think for themselves.
Discernment, dedication and determination are needed more than ever in these days.
The Tucker-Putin interview stimulated a line of questions asked of Open A.I.
G
What are the major forms of government such as communism, democracy, and fascism?
A
Sure, here are some major forms of government:
1. Democracy: A system where the citizens have the power to choose their leaders through free and fair elections. Examples include the United States, Canada, and India.
2. Communism: A political and economic ideology where the means of production are owned and controlled by the state, and wealth is distributed equally among the people. Examples include China, Cuba, and North Korea.
3. Fascism: A system characterized by dictatorial power, suppression of opposition, strong nationalism, and often racism and militarism. Examples include Nazi Germany under Hitler and Italy under Mussolini.
4. Monarchy: A form of government where a single person, usually a king or queen, holds all political power. Examples include the United Kingdom, Saudi Arabia, and Thailand.
5. Oligarchy: A system where a small group of people, such as wealthy individuals or members of a certain social class, hold power and make decisions for the society. Examples include Russia and some ancient Greek city-states.
6. Theocracy: A government controlled by religious leaders or a religious institution, where laws are based on religious doctrine. Examples include Iran and Vatican City.
7. Socialism: A political and economic system where the means of production are owned and regulated by the community as a whole. Examples include Sweden, Norway, and Denmark.
8. Anarchy: A state of society without government or law, often characterized by disorder and chaos. Anarchist principles advocate for self-governed societies based on voluntary cooperation and mutual aid. Examples of anarchist societies are rare and usually short-lived, but historical examples include parts of Spain during the Spanish Civil War.
9. Decentralized government: A system where power is dispersed among various local or regional authorities rather than being concentrated in a central government. Examples include federal systems like the United States, Switzerland, and Germany.
These are just a few examples, and many countries have elements of more than one system or have unique forms of governance.
G
What are the differences between fascism and nazism?
A
Fascism and Nazism are two related but distinct ideologies and political movements. While they share some similarities, there are also significant differences between them:
1. Origins and Ideology
• Fascism: Fascism originated in Italy in the early 20th century, led by figures like Benito Mussolini. It emphasizes extreme nationalism, authoritarianism, and the glorification of the state. Fascism promotes the idea of a strong, centralized government led by a dictator, with strict control over all aspects of society.
• Nazism: Nazism, or National Socialism, emerged in Germany in the 1920s and 1930s, under the leadership of Adolf Hitler. It combines elements of fascism with racist and anti-Semitic beliefs. Nazism is characterized by its emphasis on Aryan supremacy, anti-Semitism, and the goal of creating a racially pure society. It also advocates for expansionist policies to establish a Greater German Reich.
2. Racism and Anti-Semitism
• Fascism: While fascism can be xenophobic and nationalist, it does not necessarily include the extreme racism and anti-Semitism central to Nazism. Fascist regimes have historically targeted political opponents and suppressed dissent, but they may not always emphasize racial purity as a central tenet of their ideology.
• Nazism: Nazism is inherently racist and anti-Semitic, promoting the idea of a master race (the Aryans) and advocating for the extermination of perceived racial and ethnic enemies, particularly Jews. The Holocaust, the systematic genocide of six million Jews during World War II, was a central component of Nazi ideology and policy.
3. Leadership and Symbols
• Fascism: Fascist regimes often revolve around a single charismatic leader, such as Mussolini in Italy or Franco in Spain. They may employ symbols such as the fasces, an ancient Roman symbol of authority, and emphasize militarism and national unity.
• Nazism: Nazism was centered around Adolf Hitler, who held absolute power as the Führer (leader) of the Nazi Party and later as Chancellor and dictator of Germany. Nazi symbolism included the swastika, which became synonymous with the regime, as well as other symbols associated with Aryan supremacy and militarism.
4. Expansionism and Foreign Policy
• Fascism: Fascist regimes often pursued expansionist policies to assert dominance and promote national greatness. However, not all fascist regimes pursued aggressive militarism to the same extent as Nazi Germany.
• Nazism: Nazism had a clear goal of territorial expansion and domination, as outlined in Hitler's concept of Lebensraum (living space) for the German people. This expansionist ambition led to the outbreak of World War II and the subsequent invasion and occupation of numerous European countries.
While fascism and Nazism share certain traits, such as authoritarianism and nationalism, the inclusion of racial ideology and anti-Semitism distinguishes Nazism as a more extreme and virulent form of fascism. Additionally, Nazism's association with the Holocaust and its unique symbols and leadership under Hitler further set it apart from other fascist movements.
G
How does capitalism fit into these, and what are other types of economic systems?
A
Capitalism is an economic system that is often associated with democratic forms of government, but it can exist under various political systems. In capitalism, the means of production are privately owned and operated for profit. Competition and the free market play significant roles in determining prices, production, and distribution of goods and services.
Other Types of Economic Systems
1. Socialism: In socialism, the means of production are owned and controlled by the state or the community as a whole. The goal is to achieve a more equitable distribution of wealth and resources among the population.
2. Mixed economy: A mixed economy combines elements of capitalism and socialism. In a mixed economy, there is both private ownership of property and some degree of government intervention and regulation.
3. Command economy: Also known as a planned economy, in a command economy, the government controls all aspects of economic production and distribution. Prices, wages, and production quotas are centrally determined by the government.
4. Market economy: In a market economy, economic decisions and the allocation of resources are determined by supply and demand in the free market, with minimal government intervention.
5. Traditional economy: In a traditional economy, economic decisions are based on customs, traditions, and cultural practices passed down through generations. Production and consumption patterns are determined by what has been done in the past rather than by market forces.
Each economic system has its strengths and weaknesses, and countries often adopt a combination of these systems based on their unique historical, cultural, and political contexts.
G
What theoretical types of government have been proposed as being ideal?
A
Throughout history, various theoretical types of government have been proposed as being ideal, depending on the philosophical and ideological perspectives of different thinkers. Some of these include:
1. Democracy: Many philosophers, from ancient Greece to the modern era, have argued that democracy, where power rests with the people through elected representatives, is the most just and equitable form of government. This ideal emphasizes individual rights, political participation, and government accountability.
2. Republicanism: Republics, particularly those that incorporate democratic principles, have been proposed as ideal forms of government. In a republic, power is held by elected representatives who are accountable to the people, and there are checks and balances to prevent the concentration of power in any one individual or group.
3. Socialism: Advocates of socialism propose that an ideal society is one where the means of production are owned and controlled by the community as a whole, with the aim of achieving economic equality and social justice. This system emphasizes cooperation over competition and collective decision-making.
4. Anarchism: Anarchists argue for a society without rulers or hierarchical structures, where individuals organize themselves through voluntary associations and mutual aid. Anarchism proposes direct democracy, decentralization of power, and the abolition of institutions such as the state and capitalism.
5. Libertarianism: Libertarianism advocates for minimal government intervention in both the economy and personal freedoms, emphasizing individual liberty, free markets, and the rule of law. The ideal government in libertarianism is limited to protecting citizens' rights and enforcing contracts.
6. Meritocracy: In a meritocratic system, political power and social status are based on individual merit, talent, and achievement rather than inherited privilege or wealth. Advocates argue that this system encourages productivity and rewards effort and ability fairly.
7. Technocracy: Technocracy proposes that governance should be based on the expertise of technical and scientific professionals rather than elected politicians. This system emphasizes rational decision-making and the application of scientific knowledge to solve societal problems.
These are just a few examples, and there are numerous variations and combinations of these theoretical models proposed by different political theorists and philosophers throughout history. The perceived "ideal" form of government often depends on one's values, beliefs, and priorities regarding issues such as freedom, equality, justice, and efficiency.
G
What are the key points of individual self-governance?
A
Individual self-governance refers to the ability of individuals to govern themselves autonomously, making decisions and taking responsibility for their actions without undue influence or coercion from external authorities. Key points of individual self-governance include:
1. Autonomy: Individuals have the freedom to make their own choices and decisions based on their own values, preferences, and beliefs, without external interference.
2. Responsibility: With autonomy comes the responsibility to bear the consequences of one's actions and decisions. Self-governing individuals are accountable for their choices and behavior.
3. Self-awareness: Self-governing individuals possess self-awareness, understanding their own strengths, weaknesses, desires, and motivations. This awareness informs their decision-making process and helps them align their actions with their values and goals.
4. Critical thinking: Self-governing individuals engage in critical thinking and reflection, evaluating information, weighing options, and making informed decisions based on reason and evidence rather than blindly following external authority.
5. Empowerment: Individual self-governance empowers people to take control of their own lives, pursue their aspirations, and assert their rights and interests. It fosters a sense of agency and self-efficacy.
6. Respect for others: While exercising autonomy and self-determination, self-governing individuals also respect the autonomy and rights of others. They recognize the importance of mutual respect, cooperation, and peaceful coexistence within society.
7. Continuous growth and development: Self-governing individuals are committed to ongoing personal growth and development, seeking to expand their knowledge, skills, and capacities in order to lead fulfilling and meaningful lives.
Overall, individual self-governance is essential for promoting personal freedom, dignity, and flourishing within a society, and it contributes to the collective well-being by fostering responsible citizenship and a culture of mutual respect and empowerment.
G
Please give examples of 'one's values, beliefs, and priorities regarding issues such as freedom, equality, justice, and efficiency.'
A
Certainly, here are examples of values, beliefs, and priorities regarding issues such as freedom, equality, justice, and efficiency:
1. Freedom:
• Value: Valuing personal freedom and autonomy, prioritizing individual rights and liberties.
• Belief: Believing in the importance of freedom of speech, expression, and conscience.
• Priority: Prioritizing policies and laws that protect civil liberties, such as freedom of assembly and privacy rights.
2. Equality:
• Value: Valuing equality of opportunity and treatment for all individuals, regardless of their background or characteristics.
• Belief: Believing in the inherent dignity and worth of every person, and rejecting discrimination and prejudice.
• Priority: Prioritizing efforts to address systemic inequalities and promote social justice, such as through education reform, affirmative action, or anti-discrimination laws.
3. Justice:
• Value: Valuing fairness, accountability, and the rule of law in society.
• Belief: Believing in the right to a fair trial, due process, and equal treatment under the law.
• Priority: Prioritizing access to justice for marginalized and vulnerable populations, and supporting reforms to improve the effectiveness and fairness of the legal system.
4. Efficiency:
• Value: Valuing efficiency and effectiveness in the allocation and use of resources.
• Belief: Believing in the importance of maximizing productivity and minimizing waste in both the public and private sectors.
• Priority: Prioritizing policies and initiatives that streamline processes, reduce bureaucracy, and optimize the delivery of goods and services to meet societal needs.
These examples illustrate how individuals' values, beliefs, and priorities shape their perspectives on key societal issues and influence their approach to governance and decision-making. Different people may prioritize these values differently based on their cultural, ideological, or personal backgrounds.

Controlled Opposition and the Truth Movement
By Bernhard Guenther, February 15, 2022
As more people have taken “the red pill” over the past couple of years, I’ve seen these “controlled opposition/shill/psy-op” accusations being thrown around like candy by people in the so-called “truther community.” I’ve heard statements like:
“The Trucker convoy is a psy-op/controlled op”
“Joe Rogan is a shill/controlled op”
“Russel Brand is controlled op”
“David Icke is controlled op”
“Michael Tsarion is controlled op”
“Dr. Robert Malone is a shill/controlled op”
“Jordan Peterson is controlled op”
“Tucker Carlson is controlled op”
“Elon Musk is controlled op”
“JP Sears is controlled op”
“Trump/Q is controlled op”
“Bitcoin is a psy-op”
“YOU are controlled op.”
….etc, etc.
I’ve been in this “game” since the ’90s and went deep down the rabbit hole, including many dead ends, detours, and distractions. There is a lot of nonsense out there in the “conspiracy world” as well, not just the MSM and official cult-ure.
Many truth seekers are stuck in over-simplified black-and-white thinking – out of body, disassociated, glued to the computer screen. Or they claim that their “intuition” and “feelings” tell them that this person or that event is a “psy-op,” “controlled opposition,” or “shill” without any concrete evidence other than most often appealing to the “guilt by association” fallacy.
Feelings and perceptions can be very deceptive, and people tend to mistake all kinds of impressions, feelings, perceptions [unconscious shadow projections], and thoughts for their “intuition” or “gut feeling.”
I’m not taking myself out of the equation. I had done it too at times, primarily when I was only focused on external information and not engaged in any sincere self-work. I still have my subjective blind spots because I’m not enlightened, i.e., awake – in the true meaning of the word.
In this day and age of global upheaval, it is also important to zoom out and understand the greater cosmic forces at work in light of the evolution of consciousness: diving deeper into esoteric work, understanding occult/divine laws, esoteric evolutionary astrology, the cycles of the ages, the different levels of being within humanity, the process of soul evolution, and most important understating your own mind, psyche with all its [shadow] projections and unconscious behaviors, i.e., to truly know yourself. Learning never stops; the mind can become a prison in this information war.
Many “red-pilled” folks tend to project their unconscious shadow and unresolved unconscious stuff externally. They claim to know precisely what is going on with very rigid ideas of what is “true” and what are “lies,” who are the “good guys,” and who is a “shill” and “controlled op” or “psy-op.” Sometimes things can be self-evident, but often, it is not as simple, far from it.
I have had to eat humble cake many times to realize that truth is a much more delicate process and way more nuanced, deep, subtle, and complex [going way beyond what the mind can comprehend] than these superficial labels and accusations that are thrown around by the social media conspiracy “red-pilled” community these days – especially over the past two years since the p[l]andemic started.
Moreover, seeking the truth is an internal job, first and foremost. Yet, most people are mostly externally focused with a very superficial level of information gathering, not realizing how they are getting trapped in their minds. In its essence, the matrix is a mind program working through us/you.
Don’t get me wrong; there are definitely “controlled ops,” “psy-ops” and COINTELPRO (Counter Intelligence Programs) in the 3D matrix, as I’ve written about many times as well [even back in the 90s]. However, these terms are highly abused these days by overly paranoid “everything-is-a-trap” fringe conspiracy folks who have not done much self-work at all to be aware of their psyche, mind, conditioning/programming, shadow, projections, trauma responses, and childhood wounds which we ALL have.
Ironically, as Neil Kramer once said, “the matrix has them” too; they are caught in the “2nd matrix,” as he coined it, prisoners of their own paranoid minds.
I’ve seen this mind trap a lot in the past 25 years of digging down the rabbit hole and increasingly even more so now. That’s how an awakening impulse can get hijacked by hyperdimensional occult forces as well. Not through any cabal psy-op/controlled op “out there” but through your own disassociated paranoid mind. It also attracts these forces like in a self-inflicting thought loop feeding on it and feeding it.
If we do not engage in this important and often times very difficult inner work with full commitment, sincerity, and super-efforts, then our actions and perceptions will always be “polluted” by unconscious material and resulting mechanical reactions under the illusion of “free will,” and we are much easier manipulated by occult forces pulling our strings.
For the record, I don’t identify myself with nor am I part of any “truth community.” I love community, but no thanks to the identification, attachment, and label. The idea of “like-mindedness” can also easily be abused. While it is essential to have similar values and aims and be “like-minded” to a degree [obviously] as in “looking in the same direction” in community, intimate relationships, and friendships, I’m not so much interested in being around “like-minded” people based on purely intellectual information.
“Like-mindedness” can easily mean indulging in the same shadow projections based on trauma bonding and paranoia, justifying each other’s pathologies and triggers without self-awareness, which also most often results in gossip and slandering on baseless assumptions like in a group hive-mind shadow dance.
I’m not interested in the mental noise out there, for it is impossible to understand “the matrix” intellectually and by the information alone, nor will you defeat it, transcend or escape via your mind, and resulting mechanical action alone.

G
Realizing late in life that I was born with neurological anomalies including Asperger's and misophonia helped me see clearly that my identity has been a projection of the neurology and is my term, the neuro-me. That brain/mind matrix is distinct from who I am as an eternal soul. The soul to me is an individuated unit of the Source I Am, and separation between them is only apparent. It's all the consciousness of One Being in all universes and densities/planes.
B
I’m more interested in people engaged in the Great Work, going to the “root” of it all [which is within yourself], and who are sincere in the inner process. I’ve also realized over the years that not many people are sincere. They may dabble in “shadow work” a bit here and there [without really understanding what it all entails], but the real work is extremely confronting, messy, and very painful for you need to face the lies you tell yourself and everything you have suppressed not only since childhood but for lifetimes which is way harder than pointing out the lies “out there.” It takes a level of self-responsibility and humility that most people are not ready for.
G
As one who's written intellectually and in abstract concepts for over fifty years, I understand your written expression. Now 70, my writing turns to focusing on the simplest practical application of deeper, often subtle truths. For my daily practice, I've written the 'AHA! Mantra, Attracting Higher Aspects of Oneself'. It's gone through several iterations and the uploaded video is from an earlier one. All developments are freely available on the Whole Human website.

As Gurdjieff once said, “In order to understand the interrelation of truth and falsehood in life, a man must understand falsehood in himself, the constant, incessant lies he tells himself.”
It is also necessary now to “unite the clans,” as David Whitehead says [and we talked about it in our podcast chats], even if we don’t agree on everything. Can you be around people who don’t necessarily agree with you on everything [as long as they don’t attack you personally for your views], nor do they necessarily need to agree with all of your views/perceptions, but they have the same aim in light of the Great Work? – to truly awaken and understand that seeking the truth is a process. It never stops. It changes. There are vastly different levels of being and soul lessons within 8 billion people. Everyone plays their role on both sides of the spectrum, from “evil” to “good,” and BOTH is within you too.
So before carelessly calling others “shill” or “controlled op,” look into the mirror first. Most people branded as controlled op/shill are simply playing their part on their level of Being and consciousness. That is not to say that there are charlatans spreading lies knowingly to deceive people on purpose. However, the moment you see yourself as better, you’ve fallen into the trap of superiority and “the matrix has you,” regardless of how much knowledge you may pride yourself with to rationalize your perceptions.
I have “changed” my views a few times over the past 25 years, which made some people upset [based on their projected perceptions of who they “think” I am with all the distortions, black-and-white thinking, and straw man arguments], and hence they started branding me as controlled op and agent (I’m still waiting for my paycheck form the CIA) or shill or that I work for the “Illuminati” (not kidding), slandering, backstabbing, and gossiping. Even some of my long-time friends and colleagues, such as David Whitehead, Tom Montalk, Paul Levy, and others, have been branded as “controlled op” over the past two years by some lost souls in the peanut gallery of the conspiracy community.
Why did my views change [well, some didn’t change but became more nuanced]? Because it is the whole point of the process of truth-seeking within [shadow work, self-remembering/soul integration] and without and the continuing inner work which cleanses my perceptions and it’s ongoing….over lifetimes and lifetimes. As above, so below. As within, so without.
It’s like a new thing in the truther/red-pilled/conspiracy community: “Anyone who doesn’t agree with me or I don’t agree with is controlled op and a shill.”
I realize more and more how everything is way more nuanced and beyond the superficial black-and-white thinking I see in the “truth community.” Personally speaking, getting deeper into the work of Integral Yoga over the past six years and reading Sri Aurobindo’s “The Life Divine” has been quite an eye-opener and extremely humbling to read and digest. It’s not easy reading [for it goes beyond taking it in intellectually], and I’m not saying everyone “should” read it. Still, in my life, it has put everything into a much bigger picture context without getting lost in the shadows on the wall, like in Plato’s allegory in the cave.
Hardly any of us can see with the “eyes of the Divine,” but this Divine Will acts through our own lives and others in ways that we can, at best, only see in retrospect. And what we are seeing happening on the world stage right now, the result is yet to be seen. But most of us can at least agree that this is a time of epic change, a death/rebirth process. The world will indeed never be the same from this point forward. And what we align with decides the course of this journey. If we align with God or a higher power, we will align with the Divine plan.
“But here again we have to discover that from the point of view of God’s workings, whatever be our reactions or our experience on the surface, this fact of ignorance is itself an operation of knowledge and not a true ignorance. Its phenomenon of ignorance is a superficial movement; for behind it is an indivisible all-consciousness: the ignorance is a frontal power of that all- consciousness which limits itself in a certain field, within certain boundaries to a particular operation of knowledge, a particular mode of conscious working, and keeps back all the rest of its knowledge in waiting as a force behind it.
All that is thus hidden is an occult store of light and power for the All-Consciousness to draw upon for the evolution of our being in Nature; there is a secret working which fills up all the deficiencies of the frontal Ignorance, acts through its apparent stumblings, prevents them from leading to another final result than that which the All-Knowledge has decreed, helps the soul in the Ignorance to draw from its experience, even from the natural personality’s sufferings and errors, what is necessary for its evolution and to leave behind what is no longer utilisable.[…]
All this that seems to us incapacity, weakness, impotence, limitation of power, our will’s hampered struggle and fettered labour, takes from the point of view of the Divine in his self-workings the aspect of a just limitation of an omniscient power by the free will of that Power itself so that the surface energy shall be in exact correspondence with the work that it has to do, with its attempt, its allotted success or its destined because necessary failure, with the balance of the sum of forces in which it is a part and with the larger result of which its own results are an indivisible portion.”
– Sri Aurobindo, The Life Divine, Book Two, Part I, Chapter IV: The Divine and the Undivine
Lately, there has also been another deep dive – a necessary descent – into the darkest corners of my Being and psyche with more layers of shadow material to dig through and trauma to transmute that made me realize how I still engage in unconscious projections at times, act out of unconscious wounds and many parts of my Being are still far from spiritualized as I aspire to the Divine with as much surrender as I’m currently able to. It’s not easy work. It’s a battle for there all kinds of forces interfering with the process, including the resistance of the wounded ego itself – an internal war – yet at the same, all there is – are lessons.
There is no Ascent without Descent. It is Divine law for the collective and the individual. “None can reach heaven who has not walked through hell,” as Sri Aurobindo and all esoteric traditions conveyed in their own words, including Carl Jung….until all and everything is brought out of the shadows [within yourself too], made conscious of, and spiritualized. Matter, life, humanity, and nature – spiritualized, entirely, and completely – is the Will of the Divine in this adventure of consciousness. It’s a long process during this Time of Transition. We are still infants compared to what we are destined to become.
Until then, enjoy the show, and don’t forget to look within. Deep within. Beyond your likes and dislikes, your desires wants, and needs. As I said before and experienced myself – after all the “red-pilling” and rabbit-holing you do with all the mental information overload, distracting yourself from what really matters, you will hit a mirror and stare at yourself…and that’s when the real work begins.
There WILL be strong resistance within you to truly engage in it, for it is always more tempting to externalize. It’s not about hiding out or retreating within. It’s not about refraining from action and not standing up against the anti-Divine forces. Far from it, it is imperative to speak out and stand up, united, but inner and outer work need to go hand-in-hand. They can’t be separated but are interrelated. There can’t be conscious actions without self-awareness and knowing yourself.
Living from within is key, so conscious action can arise from essence and soul-being in alignment with Divine Will. It will ask you to engage in life more fully without blame or victimhood, taking full self-responsibility, which can be terrifying to the ego-personality caught in self-importance or self-pity – two sides of the same coin.
Until then, not much will change externally, just different disguises and manifestations of the same, for nothing truly changes [only the superficial appearance of change] if consciousness and your level of Being don’t change. And none of that changes by gathering information alone. You’ll just get trapped in the mind, and that’s exactly where the occult forces want you to get stuck in – the over-skeptical black-pilled paranoid mind.

Controlled Opposition and the Truth Movement
By Bernhard Guenther, February 15, 2022
As more people have taken “the red pill” over the past couple of years, I’ve seen these “controlled opposition/shill/psy-op” accusations being thrown around like candy by people in the so-called “truther community.” I’ve heard statements like:
“The Trucker convoy is a psy-op/controlled op”
“Joe Rogan is a shill/controlled op”
“Russel Brand is controlled op”
“David Icke is controlled op”
“Michael Tsarion is controlled op”
“Dr. Robert Malone is a shill/controlled op”
“Jordan Peterson is controlled op”
“Tucker Carlson is controlled op”
“Elon Musk is controlled op”
“JP Sears is controlled op”
“Trump/Q is controlled op”
“Bitcoin is a psy-op”
“YOU are controlled op.”
….etc, etc.
I’ve been in this “game” since the ’90s and went deep down the rabbit hole, including many dead ends, detours, and distractions. There is a lot of nonsense out there in the “conspiracy world” as well, not just the MSM and official cult-ure.
Many truth seekers are stuck in over-simplified black-and-white thinking – out of body, disassociated, glued to the computer screen. Or they claim that their “intuition” and “feelings” tell them that this person or that event is a “psy-op,” “controlled opposition,” or “shill” without any concrete evidence other than most often appealing to the “guilt by association” fallacy.
Feelings and perceptions can be very deceptive, and people tend to mistake all kinds of impressions, feelings, perceptions [unconscious shadow projections], and thoughts for their “intuition” or “gut feeling.”
I’m not taking myself out of the equation. I had done it too at times, primarily when I was only focused on external information and not engaged in any sincere self-work. I still have my subjective blind spots because I’m not enlightened, i.e., awake – in the true meaning of the word.
In this day and age of global upheaval, it is also important to zoom out and understand the greater cosmic forces at work in light of the evolution of consciousness: diving deeper into esoteric work, understanding occult/divine laws, esoteric evolutionary astrology, the cycles of the ages, the different levels of being within humanity, the process of soul evolution, and most important understating your own mind, psyche with all its [shadow] projections and unconscious behaviors, i.e., to truly know yourself. Learning never stops; the mind can become a prison in this information war.
Many “red-pilled” folks tend to project their unconscious shadow and unresolved unconscious stuff externally. They claim to know precisely what is going on with very rigid ideas of what is “true” and what are “lies,” who are the “good guys,” and who is a “shill” and “controlled op” or “psy-op.” Sometimes things can be self-evident, but often, it is not as simple, far from it.
I have had to eat humble cake many times to realize that truth is a much more delicate process and way more nuanced, deep, subtle, and complex [going way beyond what the mind can comprehend] than these superficial labels and accusations that are thrown around by the social media conspiracy “red-pilled” community these days – especially over the past two years since the p[l]andemic started.
Moreover, seeking the truth is an internal job, first and foremost. Yet, most people are mostly externally focused with a very superficial level of information gathering, not realizing how they are getting trapped in their minds. In its essence, the matrix is a mind program working through us/you.
Don’t get me wrong; there are definitely “controlled ops,” “psy-ops” and COINTELPRO (Counter Intelligence Programs) in the 3D matrix, as I’ve written about many times as well [even back in the 90s]. However, these terms are highly abused these days by overly paranoid “everything-is-a-trap” fringe conspiracy folks who have not done much self-work at all to be aware of their psyche, mind, conditioning/programming, shadow, projections, trauma responses, and childhood wounds which we ALL have.
Ironically, as Neil Kramer once said, “the matrix has them” too; they are caught in the “2nd matrix,” as he coined it, prisoners of their own paranoid minds.
I’ve seen this mind trap a lot in the past 25 years of digging down the rabbit hole and increasingly even more so now. That’s how an awakening impulse can get hijacked by hyperdimensional occult forces as well. Not through any cabal psy-op/controlled op “out there” but through your own disassociated paranoid mind. It also attracts these forces like in a self-inflicting thought loop feeding on it and feeding it.
If we do not engage in this important and often times very difficult inner work with full commitment, sincerity, and super-efforts, then our actions and perceptions will always be “polluted” by unconscious material and resulting mechanical reactions under the illusion of “free will,” and we are much easier manipulated by occult forces pulling our strings.
For the record, I don’t identify myself with nor am I part of any “truth community.” I love community, but no thanks to the identification, attachment, and label. The idea of “like-mindedness” can also easily be abused. While it is essential to have similar values and aims and be “like-minded” to a degree [obviously] as in “looking in the same direction” in community, intimate relationships, and friendships, I’m not so much interested in being around “like-minded” people based on purely intellectual information.
“Like-mindedness” can easily mean indulging in the same shadow projections based on trauma bonding and paranoia, justifying each other’s pathologies and triggers without self-awareness, which also most often results in gossip and slandering on baseless assumptions like in a group hive-mind shadow dance.
I’m not interested in the mental noise out there, for it is impossible to understand “the matrix” intellectually and by the information alone, nor will you defeat it, transcend or escape via your mind, and resulting mechanical action alone.

Realizing late in life that I was born with neurological anomalies including Asperger's and misophonia helped me see clearly that my identity has been a projection of the neurology and is my term, the neuro-me. That brain/mind matrix is distinct from who I am as an eternal soul. The soul to me is an individuated unit of the Source I Am, and separation between them is only apparent. It's all the consciousness of One Being in all universes and densities/planes.
B
I’m more interested in people engaged in the Great Work, going to the “root” of it all [which is within yourself], and who are sincere in the inner process. I’ve also realized over the years that not many people are sincere. They may dabble in “shadow work” a bit here and there [without really understanding what it all entails], but the real work is extremely confronting, messy, and very painful for you need to face the lies you tell yourself and everything you have suppressed not only since childhood but for lifetimes which is way harder than pointing out the lies “out there.” It takes a level of self-responsibility and humility that most people are not ready for.

As one who's written intellectually and in abstract concepts for over fifty years, I understand your written expression. Now 70, my writing turns to focusing on the simplest practical application of deeper, often subtle truths. For my daily practice, I've written the 'AHA! Mantra, Attracting Higher Aspects of Oneself'. It's gone through several iterations and the uploaded video is from an earlier one. All developments are freely available on the Whole Human website.
