Those who are able to see beyond the
shadows and lies of their culture will
never be understood, let alone believed,
by the masses.
- Plato
Progress is impossible without change,
and those who cannot change their minds
cannot change anything.
- Aristotle
“Behind the ostensible government sits
enthroned an invisible government owing
no allegiance and acknowledging no
responsibility to the people."
― Theodore Roosevelt
“..we have come to be
one of the worst ruled, one of the most
completely controlled and dominated,
governments in the civilized world—no
longer a government by free opinion, no
longer a government by conviction and
the vote of the majority, but a
government by the opinion and the duress
of small groups of dominant men."
- Woodrow Wilson
GOVERNMENT - The word
is derived from two words, Gubernare: To
Control, and Mente: Mind. Now state it
backwards and see what phrase you come
up with. -
Mark Passio
None are more
hopelessly enslaved than those who
falsely believe they are free.
-- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
"Many people,
especially ignorant people, want to
punish you for speaking the truth, for
being you. Never apologize for being
correct, or for being years ahead of
your time. If you're right and you know
it, speak your mind. Even if you are a
minority of one. The truth is still the
truth."
-- Gandhi
"I know for a fact George H. Bush and
Kissinger have attended Black Masses at
the Vatican."
--
Leo Zagami.
The former Exorcist
and late Father Malachi Martin
documented that a Black Mass was held in
St. Paul's Cathedral in 1963.
Catholic exorcist Father Amorth
confirmed that 150 of the Catholic
Church's exorcists gathered at the
Vatican. And the Pope wouldn't give them
a papal audience. He refused to see
them. Amorth also claims that good
passages in the Catholic rite of
exorcism have been replaced with other
passages that don't work.
"Our government has
kept us in a perpetual state of fear —
kept us in a continuous stampede of
patriotic fervor — with the cry of grave
national emergency. Always there has
been some terrible evil at home or some
monstrous foreign power that was going
to gobble us up if we did not blindly
rally behind it by furnishing the
exorbitant funds demanded. Yet, in
retrospect, these disasters seem never
to have happened, seem never to have
been quite real."
- General Douglas McArthur
"It is a great mystery that though the
human heart longs for Truth, in which
alone it finds liberation and delight,
the first reaction of human beings to
Truth is one of hostility and fear!"
- Anthony de Mello
“…the people can always be brought to
the bidding of the leaders. That is
easy. All you have to do is tell them
they are being attacked and denounce the
pacifists for lack of patriotism and
exposing the country to danger. It works
the same way in any country.”
-- Hermann Wilhelm Göring
“Civil disobedience is not our problem.
Our problem is civil obedience. Our
problem is that people all over the
world have obeyed the dictates of
leaders…and millions have been killed
because of this obedience…Our problem is
that people are obedient allover the
world in the face of poverty and
starvation and stupidity, and war, and
cruelty. Our problem is that people are
obedient while the jails are full of
petty thieves… (and) the grand thieves
are running the country. That’s our
problem.”
"In individuals, insanity is rare, but
in groups, parties, nations and epochs
it is the rule."
-- Friedrich Nietzsche
“How can you have a war on terrorism
when war itself is terrorism?” "They'll
say we're disturbing the peace, but
there is no peace. What really bothers
them is that we are disturbing the
war." -- Howard Zinn
"The masses have never thirsted after
truth...Whoever can supply them with
illusions is easily their master;
whoever attempts to destroy their
illusions is always their victim."
"It is easy to prove how much the
individual forming a part of a crowd
differs from the isolated individual,
but it is less easy to discover the
causes of this difference...the most
careful observations seem to prove that
an individual immerged for some length
of time in a crowd in action soon finds
himself - either in consequence of the
magnetic influence given out by the
crowd, or from some other cause of which
we are ignorant - in a special state,
which much resembles the state of
fascination in which the hypnotized
individual finds himself in the hands of
the hypnotizer..."
"The influence of repetition on crowds
is comprehensible when the power is seen
which it exercises on the most
enlightened minds. This power is due to
the fact that the repeated statement is
embedded in the long run in those
profound regions of our unconscious
selves in which the motives of our
actions are forged. At the end of a
certain time we have forgotten who is
the author of the repeated assertion,
and we finish by believing it."
-- Gustave Le Bon (The Crowd)
"The man caught in such an
identification loses his capacity to
make an individual judgment; he
relinquishes his autonomy and vests it
for the time being in the group. Thus he
is no longer in any real sense an
individual. He is only a member of a
group, identical in all respects with
the other members; what they do he does,
what they feel he feels, what they think
he thinks, what they ignore he too
ignores.
-- M. Esther Harding (Psychic Energy)
"...the vast majority of people in our
culture are well adjusted because they
have given up the battle for
independence sooner and more radically
than the neurotic person. They have
accepted the judgment of the majority so
completely that they have been spared
the sharp pain of conflict which the
neurotic person goes through. While they
are healthy from the standpoint of
"adjustment" they are more sick than the
neurotic person from the standpoint of
the realization of their aims as human
beings."
-- Erich Fromm (Institutes of the
Christian Religion)
"It is a notorious fact that the
morality of the society as a whole is in
inverse ratio to its size; for the
greater the aggregation of individuals,
the more the individual factors are
blotted out, and with them morality,
which rests entirely on the moral sense
of the individual and the freedom
necessary for this. Hence every man is,
in a certain sense, unconsciously a
worse man when he is in society [or in a
group] than when acting alone..."
-- Carl Gustav Jung
“In the end, we
return to the question, just how much do
you love truth? Do you really love truth
or are you just curious? Do you love it
enough to rebuild your understanding to
conform to a reality that doesn’t fit
your current beliefs, and doesn’t feel
120% happy?
Do you love truth enough to continue
seeking even when it hurts, when it
reveals aspects of yourself (or human
society, or the universe) that are
shocking, complex and disturbing, or
humbling, glorious and amazing – or
even, when truth is far beyond human
mind itself? Just how much do we love
truth? It’s a good question to ask
ourselves, I think.”
―
Scott Mandelker
“. . . a way will
finally be found to vaccinate bodies so
that these bodies will not allow the
inclination toward spiritual ideas to
develop and all their lives people will
believe only in the physical world they
perceive with the senses. Out of
impulses which the medical profession
gained from presumption –oh, I beg your
pardon, from the consumption
[tuberculosis] they themselves suffered
–people are now vaccinated against
consumption, and in the same way they
will be vaccinated against any
inclination toward spirituality. This is
merely to give you a particularly
striking example of many things which
will come in the near and more distant
future in this field –the aim being to
bring confusion into the impulses which
want to stream down to earth after the
victory of the [Michaelic] spirits of
light [in 1879].” -
Rudolf Steiner
