IMAGE MANIPULATION APPROVAL I explained that the route to power and freedom lies in exposing these illusions for the con-tricks that they are. Once you expose the illusions, you destroy the power they have to control you. For example, if I were to tell you that unless you gave me 10% of your salary, then small green men from the planet Zargon would come and take you away and torture you, then you would not be likely to pay-up! Why? Because, quite simply, you think my little green men are a bit of an illusion. You think I invented them in order to try and extort some life values from you. You think I am trying to con you! In short, you have ‘seen through’ my illusion, and so it has no power over you. Contrast this with a church (any church) which exhorts you to ‘tythe’ (or give 10% of your money to them). They do not threaten directly of course - that would be far too crude. Instead they ‘suggest’ and ‘imply’ that there is a very big pat on the head from the creator of the universe (no less), for all humans living on an insignificant blue planet, who give ten percent of this stuff they call ‘money’ to some other human beings running a scam which they call ‘religion’! Furthermore, these churches insinuate, hint and suggest that there might be a much worse fate for humans who do not comply with their demands. These ‘sinners’ might rot in hell, or live in eternal damnation, or never see the salvation of the Lord, etc. More of this anon. Let us continue with our studies. Beliefs I have already mentioned that the route to POWER and FREEDOM lies in unmasking, or destroying the SIX ILLUSIONS or con-tricks. If only it were that simple! Why can I not simply list the illusions for you - perhaps with a brief explanation of them - and then say: “Right, there they are, now jolly well stop believing in them!”. If that were the case, I could simply condense the whole teaching of Inner Circle down into a small pamphlet which could be given away at coffee mornings! The reason I cannot do this, is because the sheep believe fanatically in one, several, or all of these illusions. They don’t even think that they are illusions, or ‘tricks’. They would be horrified and offended if I were to explain this fact to them. They would (quite literally in some cases) plug their fingers in their ears and start humming tunelessly in order to drown me out. These illusions are held very dear to the hearts of most sheep. They cling to them desperately. They announce them as great universal truths. They even believe that God himself gave some of these illusions to man - as a great gift! Suffice it to say that these illusions, masquerading as ‘great and noble truth’ or even worse as ‘normal’ or the ‘status quo’, are woven into the very fabric of the sheep’s confused mind. So great is the conditioning (by past and present generations of Pharaohs) that the sheep dare not even ask questions about some of these illusions! It is actively discouraged, or downright forbidden. It is important for you to realise that people actually believe in this stuff! They are not pretending to believe. They espouse it. They teach it to their children. They discuss and pontificate about it. They hold opinions, one way or the other. And most importantly, they use the illusions as excuses for the failure of their own lives. Do you now see why a small pamphlet wouldn’t do the trick? Of course, this material is not aimed at the mass of sheep. It is aimed at people like you who have started to ‘wake up’ a little - yes, a little. You still have a great deal to learn. As I explained in the last release, it is a completely futile task trying to arouse the mass of sheep. It really is a total waste of life-energy. As you become more powerful, I strongly suggest that you do not waste your time in this hopeless quest - but feel free to find out for yourself! Now then, just as I cannot wave a magic wand and have you stop believing in these illusions overnight, I cannot attack your belief systems without explaining why you (or anyone else, for that matter) believe in anything at all. Such an attack would merely result in outright rejection and would be a pointless exercise. No person can force a change of viewpoint on another. It has to come from within, usually from having the courage to recognise the truth and then act upon it. Reasons For Believing Things It is an axiom of Inner Circle (axiom #8, see later release), that the great mass of people almost never know their real reason for doing anything. In this sense, they blindly stumble along, in any old direction, allowing themselves to be pushed and pulled by almost any external force. The sheep never know their true reason for believing anything either. They simply slop-out a ‘response’ to every situation which they encounter. Their ‘response’ has no basis in logic, it is simply a knee-jerk reaction founded in prejudice, habit, or any one of the following erroneous reasons:- 1. Dogma. This is defined as an ‘arrogant declaration of opinion, especially associated with the church’. People’s opinions are often dogmatic. This means that they are illogical, ill-conceived and mere repetition of opinions espoused as ‘truth’ by someone else. If you are lazy, then you can grab a complete set of ‘off the shelf’ opinions, just by calling yourself a Marxist, or a Christian, or a Feminist, or a Conservative. All you need to do is to follow a set of opinions and beliefs that has been worked out by someone else. An example of a dogmatic opinion would be that AIDS was a punishment from God for people’s sexual sins. 2. Fashion. People repeat fashionable opinions because they are insecure and they need the approval of other people. The sheep are terrified of holding any opinion which might conflict with the mood of the moment. They will instantly change their opinions as soon as fashion dictates that they must do so. They like shoals of fish which suddenly change the direction in which they are swimming. An example of a fashionable viewpoint would be that all Russians are evil communists bent on taking over the world. This opinion has been instantly replaced by the exact opposite viewpoint, in line with changing events. Another example: for a long time it was ‘fashionable’ to talk of ‘peace and love’. This is now ‘unfashionable’, and so people don’t say things like this, in case they are thought to be ‘just an old hippie’! 3. Ego. People hold views and opinions on issues because the image they have of themselves demands that they hold certain views. If they aspire towards thinking of themselves as a ‘caring’ person, then they will trot out a selection of ‘caring’ viewpoints. If they see themselves as a ‘no-nonsense’ right-wing character, then they will dish out appropriate opinions from their store. Because people are insecure and do not know what they believe, they use their opinions as a sort of EGO BANNER. A way of saying, “Hey, look everybody, this is ME!”. Their opinions and beliefs are carefully chosen to ensure that they give the right impression, are politically correct, and so on. An example of an egotistical view would be to state that women should be allowed abortion on demand, because, as a man, you want to be seen as ‘balanced’, ‘fair’ and ‘liberal’, and not because you truly believe in this stance. Alternatively, a woman might condone mild pornography because this makes her seem ‘liberal’ and ‘modern’ and not because she truly believes in her position on this matter. I am making no statement here on either of those two issues, by the way. 4. Empathy. Adopting the views and opinions of people you like, admire or respect. Famous people have a responsibility not to say anything controversial or dangerous (e.g. a pop megastar saying on T.V. that he regularly takes and enjoys heroin), because millions of sheep will instantly copy that person. An example of an empathic viewpoint would be stating that you were going to vote for a particular political party because you ‘liked’ the leader. 5. Labels. This involves holding opinions because those opinions agree with previously set-up pigeonholes, or labels. If, for example, you long ago labelled gypsies as “rogues ‘n’ thieves”, then you will simply adopt an opinion (on an issue) which reflects this prejudice. Often the label has not been dusted off for years! It is frequently an opinion formed long ago, in the mists of time, for reasons you have long forgotten. Possibly it is even a hand-me-down label from your parents. 6. Association. The sheep scramble over one another to adopt an opinion on an issue because of the association which this issue has with other unrelated issues. For example, they might decide that a new political party was a ‘bad thing’ because it “sounds like Nazism”, or whatever. 7. Safe and Simple. This is perhaps the most common reason for holding erroneous opinions. People are lazy and stupid. They cannot be bothered to think about their opinions, and so they go for an easy comic book viewpoint of life. They want instantly to decide who is the ‘good guy’ and who is the ‘bad guy’, and they become upset, confused and angry if there are any grey areas. The media know this, of course, and so they feed the sheep a diet of simple and easily digested ‘news bites’. People adore it when their views can be expressed in a single, snappy slogan. Safe and Simple ideas are easy. Easy to understand, easy to expound, and easy to regurgitate. Examples of Safe and Simple views would include believing that the Messiah is going to come down to Earth and make everything all right again, or that one day you will meet Mr or Miss ‘right’, fall in love, and live happily ever after. Safe and Simple ideas are often expressed in slogans, but language is complex. It is hard even to hold an opinion, let along wrestle with the subtleties of the language which will transfer this tenuous idea across to another brain. This difficulty is overcome by lazy people who take refuge in snappy slogans and by the media who deal in sound-bites. 8. Vested Interest. This is simply holding an opinion because you have a vested interest in the outcome and not because you believe it to be true. For example, being pro-war because you work in the defence industry, or believing that cars should be banned, because you always use public transport. Wealthy people believe that large wage differentials are good, because they increase incentive for managers to grow companies. Poor people believe that Social Security payments should be higher, because they want more money! 9. Experience. This is where you hold particular views because they coincide with a previous good/bad experience of yours. An example of this would be believing that all men should be castrated, because you were raped last year; or that all door to door salesmen are crooks because one of them swindled you five years ago. All of the above nine reasons for holding views and opinions are erroneous. This means that they are largely worthless, incorrect, pointless and silly. This does not prevent the sheep from trotting out opinions which are based on one or more of these reasons. This is why Inner Circle members have so few opinions! As an initiate, you will come to hold only logical and consistent views. If you were to remove the views and opinions based upon the nine factors listed above, you would be left with very little to say. This is the position of the Inner Circle Initiate. Morals Most people think that their views and opinions stem from the moral beliefs!. This is completely untrue. The sheep have a silly and naive ‘morality’ which they use to justify the responses they give to various situations. These responses are based on the nine erroneous reasons for believing things, listed above. But they don’t know this. The sheep never know their real reason for doing anything, because they are stumbling blindly through their lives, as though through a dense fog. It is also true that most people are hopelessly confused, illogical, and inconsistent. Very, very few people have ever sat down and thought through the questions of:- 1. What they believe. 2. Why they believe these things. 3. Whether or not these beliefs are logical and consistent. Instead, their ‘moral’ behaviour consists merely of a set of random, illogical responses to any given situation. They respond with snap judgements, trite cliches and moralistic viewpoints based on the flimsiest of information concerning any particular issue. They will also profess to have certain morals, and then blatantly and hypocritically ignore these morals when it suits them. Core Beliefs When questioned on their ‘moral’ beliefs, it rapidly emerges that their entire system rests upon some ill-defined, mysterious hunch or feeling. This hunch is a CORE BELIEF which is not amenable to rational argument. This is hardly surprising, as the core-belief was not constructed rationally by the believer. Instead, it is a ‘hand-me-down’ from previous generations or experiences. It lies in the subconscious, unquestioned, unexamined and inviolate. You cannot use rational argument to dislodge these fairy tales, because people have a strong and vested interest in believing them. It is rather like trying to argue the non-existence of God. No amount of rational discussion would convince the devout person that God did not exist. The religious person has an inviolate, unarguable and illogical core belief that God exists. If pushed into a corner, he will simply shrug, look blank and confused and say: “I know he exists; I can’t explain it, I just know. I feel that it is true.” The reason that people hold such childish beliefs is because these beliefs are comforting (see Safe and Simple, above), and the believers are lazy. It takes work, patience and commitment to discover the truth that most or all of your beliefs are patently absurd.
