Controlled opposition is the technique of playing two seemingly opposing sides against each other to achieve a desired outcome. This is also known as the Hegelian dialectic or artificial conflict resolution. If a manipulator can control the conflict, he can also control the outcome.
A dialectic is a debate intended to resolve differences between two views rather than to establish one of them as true. The opposition that is created through this gives power to a third force that sits above and controls both of the two sides.
Controlled opposition is a mind control technique and works hand in hand with the divide & conquer strategy. To create division the manipulator will present the victims with the illusion of choice. If there is only one path available, a person will sense the control behind it and resist. But when allowed to choose, even between two practically identical options, he is made to feel like he chose the outcome and is much more likely to accept, identify with, and defend it.
As people identify with their choice they view anyone who opposes it as an enemy. In reality, both sides were set up and controlled by the same puppet master, and the resulting conflict is always to the benefit of the manipulator.
Politics is a very obvious dialectic. People are influenced to strongly identify with either of the opposing positions; conservative or liberal. These two sides are in constant conflict with each other as their supporters are tricked into believing the change and solutions they desire, lies with the party they are voting for. In truth, neither of the two parties holds any real power other than to make people conform to the will of a higher force while thinking it was their own decision.
War is another great example of this technique. No sane, healthy person would willingly choose war. Yet war is continuous and ongoing in our world. The only ones who benefit are those who control the mechanisms through which these wars are fought; the weapons that are being manufactured, the central banks and the debts that arise as a result from these conflicts, the fuel needed to power these wars... These mechanisms are all controlled by the same group of people, and often times this same group of people fund both sides of the war.
“...the framework for guiding thoughts and actions into conflicts that lead to a predetermined solution. This is accomplished by manipulating consciousness into a circular pattern of thought and action. The synthetic solution to these conflicts can’t be introduced unless those being manipulated take a side that will advance the predetermined agenda.” - George Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, The Hegelian Dialectic.
Controlled Opposition has been used to control us, not only on a physical and mental level, but also and to an even greater extent on a spiritual level. Conscious evolution has been stunted by the use of this technique through ideologies such as new age spirituality and cultural religions.
The controllers know that humans subconsciously seek spiritual evolution and would recognize something wrong with the left brain imbalanced system we live in. The solution was to present us with their own, false versions of spirituality and enlightenment, while keeping the true spiritual knowledge occulted. As the last cul de sac before the gold mine this has led us astray; away from the true path and towards passivity and inaction.
There are a lot of truths hidden in the new age and religious teachings, but it requires discernment. One of the techniques of manipulation is to infuse truth with deception. The manipulator knows one will not take obvious poison, so he hides it in something that is good and true to make it palatable.
The underlying current nested in a lot of these teachings is that of inaction. The focus is on belief and thought, instead of knowledge and action. Wisdom is acquired by taking in knowledge of the truth, then acting upon that knowledge. Right action is what will ultimately bring about the change we need in this world. New age and religious teachings were designed to passify us, so we won’t do anything about the usurpation of our natural law rights.
“Wisdom is power and power is wisdom, one with each other, perfecting the whole. Be not proud, oh man, in thy wisdom. Discourse with the ignorant as well as with the wise. If one comes to you full of knowledge, listen and heed, for wisdom is all. Keep not silent when evil is spoken for truth. For like the sunlight, truth shines above all. He who oversteps Law, shall be held accountable. For only through Law comes true freedom. Cause not fear in others, for fear is bondage; a tether that binds darkness to man” - Hermetic Philosophy
Further these ideologies teach to not look upon the negative, the fallacy being that this is how the law of attraction works; If you think about the negative, you will attract it into your life. It is an appealing notion. People naturally shy away from the dark side. But the opposite is true. Knowledge and understanding of the dark side and how it is being used against us will empower us to recognize and resist it. If we do not recognize and acknowledge the darker things, both within and around us, we will be powerless to rise above and conquer them.
"One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious. The latter procedure, however, is disagreeable, and therefor, not popular." - Carl Jung
The controllers have given us the illusion of choice and the illusion of freedom. In exchange we gave them our compliance with their system. This is the dark truth. We need to look at it, recognize it and acknowledge it. We need to reclaim our power of thought, take action and start creating change. Ignoring this truth is the surest way to destroy true freedom.
