The world at large from a glance is much more than what can be perceived on the surface; the world should be taken further beyond the beautiful weather, architecture, technological gadgetry, and landscape. The world at large should be seen beyond the warm glow of the Sun, quick breeze through the trees, and sunset painted over the horizon.
Sleepwalking is the one state that we have heard about for years that "few" people encounter in their lives. The state of being sleep but having the bodily functions of doing normal tasks that one would do while they are "awake." But, then I had a conversation with Steve (my uncle Roger's friend) this weekend about this. He questioned me on whether or not we all were sleepwalkers in a sense. It makes complete sense to question if we all are walking around this planet (so we think) quite aware of our surroundings or if we all could truly be asleep.
But, then I question you as the reader with this tidbit of curiousity, "Could we all truly be asleep to what's truly going on in the world at large and could we truly be dreaming this reality we consider to be life?" I am a Christian young man, so for me to ask this question most would label me as an Atheist or non-believer to even ask such a thing. But, in this world, it's the subjects, matters, and things that we don't question that might be the things that we really should be questioning in the first place.
I believe that there are four major arenas of mind control in this world: military, consumerism, politics and religions. I have this theory that in order to control a person, the person being controlled must be "half-a-moron." Most people need to be lead by some arena to consider what is right or wrong in their lives. This is where the four arenas of mind control or programming come into place. Most people are influenced greatly by either the military, consumerism, politics, or religion (Some people are influenced by all while others are influenced by maybe one of the arenas). We are thought to think differently in our lives when in reality to think differently is definitely shunned out by the masses.
Getting back to the arenas of mind control, here's a few examples:
Military-Most of the recruitment offices in this nation are primarily in lower class neighborhoods where generally the educational advantages do not reside like they do in middle and upper class cities. The poor Black, Latino, and Causaian male and woman are generally targeted for recruitment with the propaganda of receiving money for college and perks of traveling the world. Seeing the world and earning money for college being two things that can easily lure these young men and women into signing their lives onto a contract to be basically a slave for whatever projected amount of time they are to be enlisted. In the time that these young men/women are enlisted, they are sleep-deprived, and ordered around todo tendious things that can be mentally and physically stressful to any human being. The mind control of lurring these young men and women into signing their lives away into an organization that brands them as caddle and makes them believe doing what is best for one's country is a grand thing even if it means risking one's life.
Consumerism- The media has a way of keeping all of us under a very watchful eye. Targeting all of us into buying things that we really don't need and manipulating us into believing that spending excessive amounts of money on a particular object, article, or thing will make you feel better. For example, the Axe deodorant advertisements generally show an average looking male spraying a can of the product on himself and being adored by scandally-clad women...(subliminal message..."YOU TOO CAN HAVE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL WOMEN ADORING YOU AS WELL...BUY AXE NOW!!!") They feed us all of this depressing bad news on TV to keep you sad and stressed out to then feed you with a iPod, Best Buy, BMW, Gap, etc advertisement to get you to go buy these things that will so-called make you feel better about yourself. The mind control of this arena is to keep those in check by startling them with bad news then appeasing them with consumer goods that they don't need to keep them ignorant to the world at large. As long as these material things are around, the world will stay ignorant.
Politics- We are given two major political genres to choose from in this country: Republican or Democrat. Why are we limited to just these two genres? Yes, there are other genres of political groups, but why are we limited to basically these two? I don't see how people don't see that labelling yourself to one thing is not a great thing at all! You labelling your as anything will cause you to believe that you are this label and also can cause you to do, act, speak, and believe in this label. You are putting yourself in a box by putting a political (or any) label on yourself.
Religion- I know a lot of people don't like to question religion, so I am going to make one remark about this one. We all do things everyday and don't question why we do so because we are taught that these are the right things to do. But, there is certain aspects of even my religion that I question.
The Labels of Thinking Differently:
If you think differently from the norm towards the military, you are un patriotic
If you think differently from the norm towards being a mass consumer like most people are, you are seen as weird or not cool
If you think differently from the norm politically, you are an anarchist
If you think differently from the norm religiously, you are an atheist.
If God gave us all minds to think for ourselves, why do so many people need these arenas of mental imprisonment to manipulate and think for them?
