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 individual’s 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 individual---his consciousness and his action.
That liberation should be the goal of any sane teaching.
Expanding one’s 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 one’s 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 realities---a 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.
I’ve 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,” I’ve 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 power---more individual power, so they can both stand and operate outside the Matrix.
Limited concepts of space, time, and energy---these, 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 individual’s power.
So in addition to my work as an investigative reporter, I’ve been researching the individual’s 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 titled Power Outside The Matrix and 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 that’s 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 isn’t 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 don’t require that power. They think this is a winning strategy.
It isn’t.
A section of my mega-collection, titled Power Outside The Matrix and The Invention of New Reality, features creative exercises you do on a daily basis that will help a committed individual move toward the goal of power outside The Matrix. The exercises are all about increasing your energy and stability---and about the invention of new spaces.
Access to your internal energy, in huge amounts, is necessary for a life outside The Matrix---rather than relying on the illusory energy that The Matrix seems to provide.
I’ve developed the exercises for exactly that purpose: your energy, your dynamism.
As I just mentioned, Power Outside The Matrix also features a long section called: Analyzing Information in the Age of Disinformation.
It’s filled with specific examples of my past investigations. Based on 25 years of experience, it shows you how to take apart and put together data that lead to valid conclusions.
It is far more than a logic course.
It’s an advanced approach to analysis.
Establishing power outside The Matrix requires that a person be able to deal with today’s flood of information, misinformation, and disinformation. I’ve left no stone unturned in bringing you a workable approach to analysis.
There is a further extensive section titled, A Writer’s Tutorial. People have been asking me to provide this Tutorial, and here it is in spades. But it’s not just for writers. It’s for any creative person who wants to grasp his own power, understand it, and use it to reach out into the world.
The Tutorial exposes you to lessons that go far beyond what is normally taught in writer’s seminars. In fact, several core concepts in the Tutorial contradict ordinary writer’s seminars, and thus give you access to inner resources that would otherwise be ignored.
And finally, I have included a number of audio seminars that offer a wider perspective about The Matrix and what it means to live and work outside it.
