“One believes things because one has been conditioned to believe them.” ― Aldous Huxley,
In February of 2019, I posted an article called “Is your thinking your own or someone else’s.” In the post, I wrote that all of us have our ‘truths’, our inherited prejudices, racial and class stereo typing, and all the other polarised crap and paranoia that is handed down to us by our parents, peers, educators, doctors, and law makers, etc. We like to think that we are free thinkers but we have all been moulded to conform, to fit in with society. That’s what education is really all about. It is socially conditioning us, moulding our thoughts and behaviour to obey and conform to the status quo narrative. Our subconscious and conscious minds are continuously being programmed by our external environment, and the incoming information influences and engineers our perception of the world.
Roll up your sleeve
How many people during the plandemic rolled up their sleeves and were injected with an untested, experimental injection because of pressure from someone else’s thinking? And how many will continue to destroy their bodies with big pharma chemicals because they believe their medical ‘professionals’ know what is best for them. Even though mistakes by doctors are the third leading cause of death in this country.
Programming runs our lives especially our faiths, devotions and method of worship.
Religious conditioning and the sabotage of spiritual reality
Man has two sides, a physical body and an energetic counterpart. We are only educated in the physical side of life. Most of us are totally unaware that there is a spiritual reality that is far more intensively alive, and more virile and vibrant than it’s pale projection into physicality.
The jerks that run this planet don’t want us to know of this extra-ordinary world and so they have indoctrinated us with a fear based faerie story. A made up fable that has usurped the innate spiritual reality of billions of people and inhibited their evolution.
Which programme do you run?
We have been generationaly programmed to be god fearing Christians for the last 2,000 years. The Muslims have been programmed for 1,000 years and the Hindu for 3,000 years.
And because these ‘inherited god mind fucks’ are contrary to each other, opposed in creed and dogma, war and slaughter is a given. No thinking needed.
Let the games begin. ‘Me against you and us against them.’
We just have to look at world events to realise that humans are a collective of conflicted automatons, zombies, regurgitating the man made lies they have mistaken for their truth. This false paradigm escalates into mobbing up, and killing anyone that disagrees with them. To understand this state of consciousness we have to examine the root of conflict.
The root of conflict
Our brain is a mechanical process. Out thoughts are a materialistic process. Over the centuries the collective consciousness of human beings has been conditioned to divide itself and continue to divide itself. We have created countries, nationalities, cultures, languages and pseudo sciences. Everything carries a label, and we even label ourselves. We say, I’m British, Russian, Jewish etc. I’m a republican, democrat, fascist, marxist etc. I’m a Catholic, protestant, Muslim etc.
As this self labelling separates one from another, it breeds conflict. We fear what is contrary to our own conditioning, our own faiths, so we choose sides, and are perpetually engaged in conflict with others, agreeing and disagreeing, believing and not believing, and finally destroying.
That is what we are.
Gurdjieffe had this to say about the conditioned mind.
“A considerable percentage of the people we meet on the street are people who are empty inside, that is, they are actually already dead. It is fortunate for us that we do not see and do not know it. If we knew what a number of people are actually dead and what a number of the dead people govern our lives, we should go mad with horror.” Gurdjieffe.
It is obvious from current events that the mass of people on this planet cannot think for self. They are ‘already dead inside’. They are oblivious to the man made stories that have divided them – set them against each other, lies that have taken billions of lives and tortured countless millions. And they are still willing to fight to the death for ‘right is might’ because god is on their side.
Arrogant man
We have been living on this planet for hundreds of thousands of years, and yet, in spite of our technological advances, and in spite of our great knowledge, we as a species have not progressed one iota since the primal scream….
We are still acting like violent, stupid brutes, polluting our planet, slaughtering soul imbued animals, gorging on dead flesh and devising hideous ways to profit off, and kill each other.
This dismal state of ‘non thinking’ creates dependency on those in control, and just like the sheep in the field, the majority bows to the sheepdog of authority. Bows and panders, brown noses and sucks up to the wills of crooked politicians, police and state edicts. This is what humanity has become. And this is what Gurdjieffe means by the ‘already dead inside.’
The people who blindly follow their leaders, politicians, and clergy to the point where their programming ultimately becomes who they are – a clone of the matrix hive mind code, and agents of chaos.
Wake up if you have enough space
If we are going to survive as a species, we had better wake up. Get real!
We can start by taking a good look at ourselves. Find the courage to admit that we are controlling, arrogant, divisive, envious, jealous, and hypocritical.
Find the courage to admit we are scheming and devious in the pursuit of our agenda’s and desires.
Find the courage to admit we don’t walk our talk.
Many blab on about spirituality and wanting world peace, ending starvation and homelessness, and these are noble virtues…. but if our inner activity, our thoughts and emotions are conflicted, it follows that the society we create will be also in conflict, nothing will change, and our great humanitarian ideals are nothing more than pissing in the wind. A distraction for a conditioned mind.
We cannot create outward order unless there is inner order. The suffering we bring upon ourselves, and consequently the world, is created by our own mental disorder, our own insanity, and conflict in our own consciousness. In the arrogant, conflicted mind of competition, in the consciousness that needs to control others there is no space for anything else. No space for imaginative thinking, no space for self examination, or for spiritual connection and experience. The mind is too full of I am…I want and I will.
Indwelling by T.E.Brown sums up it perfectly.
If thou could empty all thyself of self like to a shell dishabited – then might He find thee on an ocean shelf And say” This is not dead.” And fill thee with Himself instead.
But thou art so replete with very thou – and have such shrewd activity – That when He comes he’ll say: ‘It is enow unto itself. ‘T’were better let it be. It is so small and full, and has no need of Me.’
Beyond conflict lies the quiet mind. Let us go there together.
Until next time,
Much love

Words of wisdom by Rumi.
“Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing,
there is a field. I’ll meet you there.
When the soul lies down in that grass,
the world is too full to talk about.
Ideas, language, even the phrase “each other”
doesn’t make any sense.
The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you.
Don’t go back to sleep.
You must ask for what you really want.
Don’t go back to sleep.
People are going back and forth across the doorsill
where the two worlds touch.
The door is round and open.
Don’t go back to sleep.”

July 4, 2022 at 10:40 pmAwesome article Elva!
Vibrating on an energetic frequency that sustains the necessary space within for the extraordinary to transpire.
Most people are so filled with their emotional, mental and instinctual baggage, they don’t possess the capacity, understanding or expression for transcendent frequencies of energetic experience. So they continue to spin out into ego mind, victims of the circumstances they encounter.
The creation, empowerment, and expression it takes to manifest fulfilling experiences is like attempting to speak a different language, one no one else can speak.
Grateful for your experience and expression!

July 5, 2022 at 3:11 pmEnergy is all there IS! All else is manifested from ego mind and warped perspectives, experiences (of our own ego-creation), and inherited/handed-down programming. The “work” to remove the ego – to silence it, to stop its constant chattering and annoying fear-based constructs – is of highest importance and outside of the formalized religious paradymes. Sound, light, encountering that “other” parallel world of pure form, energy is truly where there is beauty, growth, healing and development. Thank you, Elva, for the ways that you express so much that is harder for us/me to put to words. Your teachings, writings are of key help in the work! Pilamaya!

July 6, 2022 at 8:36 amYeah RIGHT Elva, X RAY VISION. Under the skin, under the carpet, back of the cupboards. Where it’s not being looked at. Where the dust has lain for ever. Rumi with a view-me, voom voom.
Precision guidance. We wait, as patiently as possible, and it comes.

July 8, 2022 at 11:26 amExcellent video on Rosicrucian spiritual practices. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IM9KcbUUpXs&t=214s All about the importance of observing self…..checking in on one’s thoughts to see where our ‘mind’ is.
Sound familiar (Grins)

July 11, 2022 at 2:00 pmThanks, Elva. I find it interesting that dolphins don’t much use eyesight. Eyesight, the dominant sense organ of Humans, is passive and simply perceives the reflection of light on surfaces. Dolphins use active perception and send out sonar to their surroundings, receiving back not just the surface, but also the interior of many things. Humans’ weaknesses have been put forward, and our strengths diminished. Those of us with intact intuition can more or less see; the walking dead are virtually blind; they put their confidence in the surface of things.

“Those of us with intact intuition can more or less see; the walking dead are virtually blind; they put their confidence in the surface of things.” Epic!

July 21, 2022 at 3:14 pmHello Elva, your writings are always way advanced than what I learn and make sense in retrospect when I come across new information. In this respect I wish to share the following which makes a lot of sense for me;
1. That the universe is code (energy) and conciousless is the decoder (material experience) – https://www.martinvrijland.nl
2. That majority of people are AI programs designed by the architects of this universe to overwhelm the remaining few real concious individuals they are powerless to do anything, hence the conformity of the majority.
3. Humanity has undergone so many resets the last one happened about 200 – 300 years ago (Divergent channel on youtube) and that ancient history is mostly cooked up.
4. The earth as we perceive it is totally different from what it really is (Vibes of Cosmos and Godgevlamste channels on youtube).
At face value, the info from the references provided above might seem so diverse but when combined with what you say, it suddenly just gels together.
Best regards and wishes.

July 21, 2022 at 11:30 pmHi Espico,
Thanks for sharing and much love.
When you join up the dots a whole different perspective emerges.
Love this Lovecraft quote.
“The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. But some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the deadly light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.” H.P.Lovecraft – The Call of Cthulhu.
Or break the karmic wheel and fly!
