I don't think emptying the mind does anything for you in the long run. It's kind of selfish really. Probably the happiest people are those who are busy doing things for others. I am thinking of a young nun who works on an Indian reserve. She's brimming over with love. She was married - had kids.She, her husband and her kids are determined to help on the reserves. At the moment, she's looking after her parents and working on another reserve. You should see her. She's radiant.

I read your newsletter daily. But I find this article somewhat misleading.

The problem, and how the world got into the grips of the cabal, is by NOT thinking.

Blind acceptance, without applying one's own intelligence and observations, is not the same thing as "thinking". Who could believe that an airplane built out of aluminum could fly straight through a skyscraper made of steel? The same goes for how the towers fell. An airplane would not cause them to fall like a controlled demolition. If one stopped to THINK about it, they would question the official story. As indeed many physicists and aeronautical engineers have done and written copiously about it.

People have been programmed to trust in authority -- government, politicians, news readers, published books and newspaper articles. Plus, it seems to be part and parcel of adult human nature: look at The Emperor's New Clothes fairy tale: it took the perception of a child to disclose the truth. Adult humans tend to a herd instinct. Hence the term "sheeple" or blind followers.

We got into the mess we're in because people have not been thinking!

They have also been deprived of information. Important information that enables one to think and draw conclusions contrary to what's doled out by the media and government is deliberately withheld, so that unless one spends what requires a great deal of time and effort doing "off road" research people do not have the information to ascertain false flags, and downright lies. It becomes easy to see through the lies and propaganda once people are alerted to a few simple facts about the true nature of those in charge. That's why this information is hidden.

How do you change the populace so that they start disbelieving rather than believing hook line and sinker everything they are told? They need to be wised up. But children are a whole other matter: they are brainwashed before their critical thinking skills develop.
Public Relations -- a euphemism for propaganda -- is one of the greatest evils of the 20th century because it is the art of deception and manipulation. The PR bible, "Propaganda" was written by Sigmund Freud's nephew. The psychopaths running the world have all the best psychological tools at their disposal to mesmerize and program humanity, and they have used them mercilessly.

In my view we could get out of this mess if only people would stop sleepwalking, wake up, and start THINKING.

Another thing: I have come to distrust any author who gets published on a massive scale, like Tolle. I'm sorry, but nothing gets published unless it contributes to the evil agenda because of who owns the publishing houses. Once awakened, it's a very lonely world indeed.

Re: Thinking is An Addiction

Firstly, I’m so grateful for all the work you have done. I have read your first book and your others are waiting in my book shelves to get to.

I whole heartedly agree that we are constantly being told what and how to think and feel.

But as my Catholic priest says, there is not one person in the whole world that you are going to agree with 100% of the time. So, not having seen the Eckhart Tolle video, I would caution against meditation after having read the Australian New Scientist magazine of 16 May 2015. The article Ommm… aargh!, page 28, stated that "7 per cent of people of meditation retreats experienced profoundly adverse effects, including panic and depression.” “Another reason … is that when you meditate ‘the scum rises to the surface’. … intrusive thoughts and feelings - such as sexual, sad, fearful or violent ones - that may arise rather abruptly when you meditate. … Buddhist texts that explain how individuals who have become enlightened through meditative practice may act amorally if their actions are undertaken in a detached state of mind. Rather than being exceptional, the association between meditation and detached killing became the norm in Japan during the second world war. … People who try meditation and mindfulness should be aware of the whole range of effects associated with these techniques and how they work differently for each of us.”

Again, that you so much for your work and I look forward to reading tomorrow’s article.

I just finished reading your essay on mind control. It's so heart wrenching to see all the turmoil, discontent, and the tragic dysfunction heaped upon decent God loving people(Americans as a whole, decieved by the crumbling yet powerful elite shit heads) who take the false flag garbage as the total truth. As a native Philadelphian who constantly tries to maneuver the current waterways of evil, misinformation and well, corruption to the core of my nation, I am Henry, confused and broken by what feels like a world of total street theater run by these wicked brainwashed imbeciles. What am I to do amidst a beautiful people (USA) hijacked by a Satanic cabal?

Please pray for us. Please continue your honest evaluations of this complete false flag garbage. And feel free to be still and be filled with our creators protection and love..

Brings me back to the ancient traditions of the Early church Fathers called Hesychasm.

http://orthodoxwiki.org/Hesychasm

The ancients knew thinking could be dangerous to one's peace of mind. Specifically, the random thoughts that pop into one's mind and create their own narrative.
One of the foremost speakers featured on Public Television is a Dr Amen who labels these progressive random thoughts as ANTS, which result in depression and thwart psychological and physical rehabilitation and lifestyle changes of any kind.

While ridiculed by some as a "snake oil salesmen", most who listen to him recognize this part of his lectures as truth........proving once again .

There is nothing new under the sun. Just new ways of telling it.

Samuel said (January 26, 2016):

This article on media-enhanced psychological warfare warping our thinking and causing "over-think"about the wrong things is well-taken.

We're relentlessly prodded away from spiritual pursuits and a life of reflection and virtue.

I would add, however, that even the alternative media and overall freedom movement needs to reflect on itself a little.

Namely, I mean that "patriots" tend
to over-think about the bad guys and dark days and avoid solutions. Alex Jones is a case in point and the many that he influences, but it goes way beyond him. How much do we need to know about the bad guys and their nefarious schemes, before we act? Is reading 100 books enough? 1,000? 10,000? If a house is on fire, do we ponder the nature of fire? True, some details and updates are needed to get a good handle on Illuminati tactics, agendas, crimes etc. A degree of careful study will always be necessary, of course.

But when you consider something like Social Credit (www.socred.org or www.michaeljournal.org) which can short-circuit and disarm the controlling bankers' chief weapon--the debt-based money system, the theft and harnessing of the communal capital for the bankers' own wealth and power, etc.--there needs to be a more straightforward pursuit of such a solution, in order to dedicate unified energy to the core problem, rather than patriots shooting their arrows in 10,000 different directions.

That confusion of, and complexity within, the freedom movement is probably partly induced by the powers-that-be. Even the emphasis placed on exposing Jewish control can go too far, since that fixation, regardless of its accuracy, is an easy excuse for well-intended reformers to be tagged and dismissed as anti-Semites. Sometimes, "exposure" is not enough. We need to seek solutions, however fleeting they sometimes seem, with as much focus as we can muster. That is "thinking" that's well-spent. If we correct the financial hold the rulers have on us, we can open new doors to higher levels of personal reflection and leisure time--and that would also buy valuable time to reorient our governing structures and send certain malefactors to prison for gargantuan lengths of time, all very well-deserved.

Magda said (January 26, 2016):

Thanks for the food for thought Henry. Here is are two quotes my a Muslim writer named Yasmin Mogahed that are similar sentiments.

"So for all those, who have spent their life seeking, know that purity of any thing is found at the Source. If it is love that you seek, seek it through God. Every other stream, not based in His love, poisons the one who drinks from it. And the drinker will continue to drink, until the poison all but kills him. He will continue to die more and more inside, until he stops and finds the pure Source of water.

Once you begin to see everything beautiful as only a reflection of God's beauty, you will learn to love in the right way: for His sake. Everything and everyone you love with be for, through and because of Him. The foundation of such love is God. So what you hold onto will no longer be just an unstable feeling, a fleeting emotion. And what you chase will no longer be just a temporary high. What you hold, what you chase, what you love, will be God: the *only* thing stable and constant. Thereafter, everything else will be through Him. Everything you give or take or love or don't love, will be by Him. Not by your nafs. It will be for Him. Not for your nafs/self."

Thank you so much for the beautiful post.

Just thought I'd share part of a verse from the Quran:

"Surely, in the remembrance of God do hearts find true serenity." (13:28)

Tony B said (September 25, 2017):

I wasn't aware that this phenomena of women being out of place and out of control went so far back in time. The change since Tesla's time has apparently been one of degree, not substance.

But the Catholic Church has been aware of the danger for long. Recently I read the below prayer for the bride, part of the Nuptial Mass at marriage which shows the concern. I find no equal prayer for the bridegroom.

…. Thus the Church, in the Nuptial Mass, bids her priest turn to the bride and bridegroom after the Lord’s prayer and admonish them that marriage is an institution for the increase of mankind, which is made by God, that He it is whose authority has joined these two persons together, and that he, the priest, prays, in the name of the Church, that what God’s authority has joined together may be kept by God’s help.
Beautiful indeed is the prayer that follows. It should be read and pondered by all persons on the eve of marriage, and particularly those who receive the sacrament in the sublime setting of a Nuptial Mass. It begins by recalling that God, after setting in order the elements of the universe, made man to God’s image, and afterwards made the body of the woman from the body of the man, appointing the woman to be the man’s inseparable helpmate. There follows the invoking of God in these words:

“O God who has hallowed wedlock by a mystery so great that in the marriage bond You did foreshadow the union of Christ with the Church; O God by whom woman is joined to man, and that union which You did ordain from the beginning is endowed with a blessing which alone was not taken away, either by the punishment for original sin, or by the sentence of the flood; look in Your mercy on this Your handmaid, who is to be joined in wedlock and entreats protection and strength from You.

May the yoke of love and of peace be upon her. True and chaste may she wed in Christ; and may she ever follow the pattern of holy women; and may she be dear to her husband like Rachel; wise like Rebecca; long-lived and faithful like Sara. May the author of deceit work none of his evil deeds within her. May she fortify her weakness by strong discipline. May she be grave in demeanour and honored for her modesty. May she be well taught in heavenly lore. May she be fruitful in offspring. May her life be good and sinless. May she win the rest of the blessed and the kingdom of heaven.”

RL said (September 25, 2017):

The most noble of us are the most deceived by the female. They romanticize and worship them. This paganism was probably spread by Catholics with their worship of the "pure and holy" "Mother of God".

Tesla had seen what's coming. I wonder if he knew that men like him created these female monsters by inventing labor saving technology and trying to please them. He did die penniless.
