"Obfuscation is the creation of false ideas in order to hide truth. Sometimes this is simply adding ideas on top of truth to disguise the nature of the original truth. Even ideas that seem entirely appropriate can be used to bury simple truths." - Jeremy Locke, The End of All Evil
Obfuscation is the first of the fourteen main mind control techniques I will be exploring in this and upcoming articles.
As explained in the quote by Jeremy Locke, the aim of obfuscation is to hide or conceal a simple truth. The word "Anarchy" is a good example of this. If you ask peopleto define Anarchy, most would say it means "chaos". But in fact, the true meaning of the word is "without ruler"
(“An” = without; "archy”, from the word "archon" = ruler/master).
If you ask people to give one word to describe the state of having no ruler or master, most would say freedom. Yet, few people can make the connection between the word Anarchy, and freedom. This was done on purpose to conceal the true meaning of the word, so that people will not bother looking into the concept and reject it without consideration. This is only one of many examples.
Some of the most important principles that are commonly obfuscated are as follows:
Simplicity with Complexity
"It is the nature of evil to create artificially complex ideas. It does this to hide or obfuscate the freedom it destroys. If you remove the complexities and fears from your life you will find a plain and beautiful truth. This truth is the nature of your worth." - Jeremy Locke, The End of All Evil
Obfuscating simplicity with complexity is the process of complicating something so much that the average person will never bother looking into it. Creating complexity is intended to confuse people and destroy free thinking. If we can be convinced that something is too complex for us to understand, we are less likely to question it, and more likely to accept what we are being told.
The principle of simplicity states that intelligence recognises truth. When truth is presented in pure form, anyone is capable of understanding it. The truth is always simple.
Principle with law
Principles are based in nature and were put in place by the creative intelligence to enable us. These are the Laws of Nature and the only Laws life is bound by.
The laws most people think of when you mention the word "law", are rules that were made up and written down by men. Man made laws have no basis in Natural Law and therefor have no true binding power over humanity. The true intention of these laws is to enslave and control. No person or group of persons have the natural right to force, coerce, or extort another person or group of persons.
Principles are knowledge and, if understood, can be used to innovate, move forward and evolve. Laws (man's laws) are lies that destroy freedom and stifle evolutionary progress.
Dominion with (external) Governance
Dominion, as explained in earlier articles, is a state of internal being where one’s thoughts, emotions and actions are united. When the individual exists in a state of dominion, or internal sovereignty, the external manifestation is freedom. But when the individual is in a state of internal division and confusion, the external manifestation is control, or what we know today as "government.”Government is the result of the general population living in this state of internal confusion.
The only reason people gravitate towards external control is because they do not have internal control. They do not have dominion or sovereignty. They exist in a state of fear and confusion.
The need for an external master or ruler has a deeper underlying psychological cause; a belief that you are of lesser worth and value, than those who get to rule you; an underlying belief that you are not capable of understanding your world and, therefor, should not be allowed to govern your own existence.
"To understand freedom is to understand the value of a person. Everything that evil wants is to disguise and destroy your value. All authority is created by evil men to disguise your worth. To understand your own worth is to understand the nature of liberty." - Jeremy Locke, The End of All Evil
Gnosis with Belief
Gnosis is knowledge acquired through experience.
Belief is trusting something to be true, without questioning it, and without having any experiential knowledge of it.
The idea that laws written by man are good and put in place for our protection is a belief. The idea that government, scientific, medical and educational systems have our best interest at heart is a belief. The idea that police and military are here to keep us safe is a belief.
Religions require belief, and impart the idea that you need to live a certain way, not because it teaches the underlying principles of morality, but because you will be punished if you do not.
If people begin questioning these belief systems, they will soon find that all these institutions are corrupt to the core and only create more problems and suffering.
"All beliefs are a form of ignorance. If you have to believe, it's because you do not know." - Tom Barnett
Truth, Principles and Natural Law does not require belief. They exist; they can be known, understood and applied for our betterment.
Individuality with Culture
Your individuality is what makes you unique. It is your ability to have your own thoughts and feelings and to make your own decisions. It is your ability to learn and grow through experiences and, through trial and error, find truth on your own. Every person has the right to individuality; to learn by making mistakes; to explore and venture into the unknown.
But culture suffocates individuality. We are raised to accept what we are told; to not ask questions; to not challenge authority. We are taught to believe that generally accepted norms are how it should be.
Culture is a form of conditioning and indoctrination. It values conformity over individuality. It promotes the group think mentality and shuns those who dare to be different; those who dare to question the way things are. It discourages independent thought.
It is easy for those who do not have a strong sense of self to fall victim to cultural norms and expectations. It offers a place of belonging and a false sense of security.
"Culture is not your friend. It is your cult" - Terence Mckenna
But perhaps the biggest lie of culture is the need for authority; the belief that individuals require rule by government, because without it there would be chaos and destruction.
Cultures teach that authority knows best and we need to obey; that the individual is worth less than the law.
Truth has been obfuscated with an illusion....the illusion of freedom, safety, security and order.
As long as there is external control, we will never know true freedom. The state of external control is rooted in fear, and fear-based consciousness will never create freedom.
