Social Science Research Circa 2000:
Young People in the “Land of the Free”
A two-year research project around the turn of the millennium, titled “The Future of the First Amendment,” promoted the notion that First Amendment rights (freedom of speech, of the press, of religion, of assembly and the right to petition the government for a redress of grievances) would be universally known if they were classroom staples.
“High school attitudes about the First Amendment are important because each generation of citizens helps define what freedom means…” Among the research findings:
- Nearly three-fourths of high school students either do not know how they feel about the First Amendment or admit they take it for granted.
- Seventy-five percent erroneously think flag burning is illegal.
- Half believe the government can censor the Internet.
- More than a third think the First Amendment goes too far in the rights it guarantees.
“There are those who would say that humans are “defective”, or that they are born into a “state of sin”. There are others who would argue that humans are basically good and have simply lost their way.
This is a false dichotomy when viewed from higher awareness.
The expression of our greater spiritual being (true self) through the vehicle of humanity is not the same “self” as that of the ego-personality that has been one of various focal points of control by the dark.”
The IOOW-2000 national research found there is a group constituting 16% of the USA population that could be termed “social inertial ballast” as well as a much larger group that, as a whole, functions in a similar manner to hold everyone back in terms of thoughts and actions.
Somewhere between 14% to 21% of the population formed a social basis for generalized positive social-spiritual change. Within that group there is a much smaller subset of people who could be focused on the creation of a new way of being that lies outside the control matrix. There is an even smaller sub-group that actually has the relative freedom to act upon these high ideals.
So there would appear to be a rough correspondence between social science research and intuitive scanning of humanity relative to openness and willingness to ascension.

Concluding Remark s
Social and Psychological “Adaptive Controls”Following World War 2, most of the world was rapidly remade under the supervision of various minions of the powers-that-be. This was the making of the “modern world”. During the period of the “Great Depression” people in the urbanized USA became accustomed to a simpler and materially poorer lifestyle. This primed the population to become even more “enthusiastic” about consumer goods following WW2. Those in rural areas in the Western USA were still living without central electricity until the end of WW2 and so their lifestyle had not changed much until the rural electrification program was underway.
“Modernization theory” was created to provide the intellectual programming needed to carry this out. Everything was to be violently modernized and mechanized. It was called “progress” and there was no end in sight. Parents were programmed to tell their children (especially in the USA) to go to school, get good grades, get a good job, get a career, get ahead in life, you get what you deserve, you get out of life what you put into it, etc. As these children grow older, those who do find adequate jobs that offer the illusion of a “career” tend to identify with their jobs, even if they are dissatisfied with them. That represents a lot of “getting” (acquiring) of illusions!
In places heavily influenced by intergenerational warfare, the parents will tell their children similarly, but with an important additional override: revenge and retribution, sometimes with an additional override based upon on particular religion-influenced hatreds. In some parts of the human world, this passing of diseased memes between genes is largely something the mothers do. Their little boys grow up with so many hatreds, including hatred for women as it was the mothers who passed this on. The mothers at some level hate what it is all about, so this too is passed on more subtly. And on and on it goes.
Then there are the implications of the extent to which adults in the USA support the USA wars in the Middle East region and the ongoing support for the death penalty and torture. Add to it that young people in the USA have little comprehension of civil rights such as “freedom of expression”. Similarly, there is the large portion of the Israeli population supporting the terrible things their officialdom is doing in their name. And on and on it goes, differing only on location and social-economic status. The official position in the USA is that torturing people is fine, those who do it are immune from the law, and the people they torture have no rights.
In China and similar societies, there is the “adrenaline effect” of “fast money” that has created a social dynamic very much like that in the USA, a dynamic deliberately set-up during the post-Mao transition period. And so it was during the engineered transition period in Russia post-Brezhnev. So it was for China and Russia to be quietly taken by the powers-that-be who already controlled most of “modern civilization”. A sweeping view of history over recent centuries discloses some major patterns toward rapid consolidation of power into the hands of individuals who are for the most not known to the masses whose lives they control so closely. A sweeping view of the recent millennia indicates a dark influence operating beyond the human realm.
Historians, sociologists, and psychologists have deftly and stupidly crafted glossy explanations and rewritten events to box-in the awareness of present and future generations. For the most part these specialties have been controlled by powerful interests who made sure that the “right” opinion makers received top government and academic posts and only the “right” types of text books would dominate the lower and higher educational curricula. All carefully chosen. Occasionally something truthful might leak out, usually permitted to leak out, so as to control those who might have gotten the notion to “look outside the box”. This is the background behind so many notable “critics” of the established order. A little truth, then a little misdirection, and a new form of control is created. The “matrix world order” as a collective entity has became so adept at this that there is no possible effective opposition to the rule of those who oversee the global social order.
Only spiritual awakening and ascension has the capacity to circumvent and transcend this control process, despite “new age” and established religious social controls and misdirection.
Germane to the question raised earlier of “what if nothing changes?” discussed in under the State of the Vision summary, the USA Army has reported that 75% of young people (17-24) are ineligible for military service for various reasons including: overweight (27%), physical/ mental health issues (32%), fail to pass the simple entrance exam (30%), did not complete high school (25%), or had a police record. Entrance exams to the military? This approximates elementary grade school literacy. Many countries have similar situations. Taken as an indicator of the potential for this version of humanity, the implications are rather disturbing. Basic skills for the continuity of material needs of civilization are scarce, the mental capacity to pay attention to a train of thought more complex than a 15–second sound bite is seriously lacking, and basic knowledge about the world is nearly non-existent. Video games are used to encourage amoral military violence as normal and online games are used to recruit young people into the military.
Not just in the USA, consider that there are young people and young adults throughout the world who are just as ignorant and of low awareness. History of the recent century is being deliberately deleted from schools and social programming and deliberate lies are inserted. A simple example of early social programming would be the sixty (60) childrens’ books promoting Obama in the USA.
A recent survey of young people (18 to 29 ages) in Pakistan showed that the notion of “democracy” was supported by one third and “Sharia Law” was supported by another third. A strong majority “had faith in the military as an institution”. Half of Pakistan’s population is under 20 and two-thirds are under 30.
To be blunt, this level of degeneration verges on a form of “mental retardation” coupled with abysmal ignorance. A perpetual state of war notwithstanding, such young people will be the ones to birth a major new generation under what will be the most socially and materially stressed circumstances in nearly a century. This alone should give one serious pause.
While most individuals who are carried along due to brainwashing/poisoning by mass media and the main social institutions are not fully accountable for their lives, the “artificial reality” they are in is based upon the actions of a small class of people who could only be regarded as insane and amoral. This class can be extended to include the chief minions of the powers-that-be and those whose privilege is directly tied to maintaining the social order. This class is leveraged through those people in positions of petty authority in governmental, business, labor unions, non-profits, academic, and all other major social institutions.
While there are countless caring individuals working hard to somehow change things for the better, their efforts in the context of the present state of human civilization have not the capacity or potential to effect any substantive changes. There are no leaders and no organizations or other mechanisms available in the ordinary human world for an honest and ethical social political movement to overthrow or otherwise replace the established order and associated memes.
Those who could have brought into being substantial resources to create a visible presence that represented an awakened future failed to act. They preferred to limit themselves to venues where they were in control. When encountering new energies and ideas that were more advanced than their own, they would and could not hear of them. Overall, these individuals most of whom are today well-known social/spiritual leaders preferred to serve their own self-interests and behave competitively among one another. This is part of the overall problem of “diseases of the dark” that infected most of humanity. At some point there were many fine lines that were crossed and eventually people who began with good intentions lost what spiritual will and clarity they might have had.
Movies and books are made to feed the narrow interest in secret and mystical societies, but these do not educate with truth, only with more half-truth stories that misdirect and misinform. Entire websites purport truthful “exposures” by “whistleblowers”, but most are masks for falsehoods perpetrated by charlatans masquerading as “authorities”. As more social anger builds, these “revelations” will both fuel popular resentments and social conflicts as well as a greater sense of lost-ness” and confusion. Most people today, including most who consider themselves to be “learned”, have little idea of anything that is going on, as their heads are full of implanted notions and falsehoods that they mindlessly debate with one another.
Some would say that this is all the fault of humans. However the ideas, the memes, the original motivations can be traced back, not just to the hidden power of the secret elite families, but also to higher dimension dark forces. So blaming humans for something that has entrapped them is hardly appropriate and reflects a lack of true understanding.
For those who begin to understand enough of this situation, it is important to go beyond finding faults, securing blame, and seeking retribution.
I have brought up these extreme examples in this section to underscore the insanity of a fallen realm and to say that this “book of humanity” must come to a close. A “new book” has already begun and calls for our attention.
From our higher self, we can see that all souls can “made new” and redemption and absolution can be applied to all concerned. Yes, even those caught up with the powers-that-be. All will find Grace and the High Compassion.
To the human mind that has experienced traumatic suffering of various forms, discharging their pain in the form or retribution makes for a type of distorted logic. But to the spiritual mind, there is no sense to this. This is why the ascension and transformation process, has the capacity to dissolve all this. There is nothing to rationalize, no psychologies to run, there is nothing. The pain, the suffering, the impulse to discharge these energies to another are gone. It may not be an immediate occurrence for everyone all at once, (or maybe it will be) but however it plays out, it is inescapable.
“Matrix Revisited”, Ego-Personality, and Social Control
It was not until the modern period of the 20th century that new depths of ignorance would dominate the awareness of humanity. It was such that the work of people who were thinking “out of the box” in all areas of endeavor would be quietly suppressed by designated social “meme controllers”. During the fifty years following WW2, there was a rise of the rationalistic, psychological approaches to personal and social development that dismissed spiritually transcendent consciousness and drove ordinary human awareness farther and farther away from spirituality in favor of self-reinforcing imprisonment in a dark social order. This would later be adapted to the “new age” tendencies that were mainly to attract and control anyone who wanted to go even further “out of the box”. So today we have a multiplex of refined psychological tools that are implemented through every conceivable way throughout society –all part of a flexible, adaptive social control system with the capacity to co-opt nearly any potential threat to its power.
The “Matrix” movies portrayed an illusory world that was so “real” that it required special training and abilities to penetrate beyond its illusion. But even then the truth was concealed behind yet more falsehoods and illusions. When we look behind all the troubles and pain and difficulties in the matrix world, the human world as it is accepted to be, there is the hand of the dark forces –those at the higher realms and those of the human realms.
From our higher levels of awareness, the human reality is not seen as all there is to our greater being. It is one level of many, an important one though as it has a direct connection to material 3d density through a unique biological interface of matter and spiritual consciousness. From our higher perspectives, it is possible to see how it is possible for awakened humans to put an end to the dark matrix order by helping others to connect with their own higher level of being and to see the true nature of the 3d reality. It is possible that at some “eleventh hour” there will be enough collective spiritual energy. This will happen not from a social advocacy movement but rather from an inner one emanating from the higher levels and permeating the human 3d level. This is discussed further in this issue in the section on ascension.
While some humans began to see beyond the illusory world of 3d, the place of the human personality-self was not well understood as a projection into this realm of our higher selves or soul being. Furthermore, it has not been possible for more of our higher being to bring itself into this level of density until now due to energetic blockages and dangerous risks. Despite this, bold efforts of a rare few opened the connection to their higher self. Some even sought ways to descend more of their higher being into this plane of existence for the purpose of transforming the human species into awakened, ascended beings who could eventually learn mastery of existence at the lower densities as well as higher levels. Due to the success of recent efforts to break up the dark influences at the higher levels and the influx of energies from Creator, it is more possible now for these connections between human 3d and our higher levels to occur.
Too many spiritual schools have presented the ego-self as an illusion or something to suppress, subjugate, sideline, etc. in the quest for true self, or God-realization, etc. The result has tended to set up various levels of internal “warfare” between the personality self and the higher self. The personality took charge of the body and developed its “substantial” (albeit short term) existence in the 3d realm. The personality self is generally not very pleased with being told it is only an illusion that has gotten out of control. This is addressed further in the section in this issue on ascension.
What little benefit the various psychology practices have had in helping people comprehend emotional problems is far overshadowed by their influence in maintaining psycho-social conformity and in reinforcing the falseness of the human personality and its separation from higher self and God, etc. The whole business of the psychological professions, that could itself be characterized as an aberration of limited human intellect, has been one that exists to maintain or enforce the dominant social control agendas. Anything out of a limited range of awareness and expression gets classified as a disorder in the “official” DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of mental disorders). It is interesting that the “near death experience” has only recently been considered less of a “disorder”, and possibly something of benefit to the individual.
The various specialities included under the broad concept of psychology/psychiatry may have started out as practical insights into emotional and later neurological problems but were quickly adopted into the vast social-control arsenal of the powers-that-be. As it has been with most of the so-called “sciences”, most of the “professionals” involved never questioned who was paying for their work or why. They mostly looked the other way or hid behind foolish platitudes concerning the “purity of discovery”. It was the psychological arena that received enormous attention by influential organizations seeking ways to access the privacy of the human mind. Torture and drugs were devised. The DSM swelled in size as the psychological “experts” devised more and more perverse ways to manipulate individuals and mass society.
This has been a world in which the distortion of spiritual consciousness and its human projections gave rise to various intellectual and medical pursuits ostensibly to understand the nature of consciousness. These various investigations and pursuits were directly used in subtle and overt ways to strengthen the hold of the dark forces and trick humans into enforcing their own imprisonment.
Language, recorded by writing or other means, has facilitated the spread of “civilization” and all things in the human social-material realm. Whatever minor differences may have existed, such as flat Earth versus round Earth, etc. human language has been an “elastic system of control”. Those who have tried to adapt language to describe what may lie beyond the control system, have had to find ways around the built-in limitations of human language to convey the clues, hints, and vectors for people to find their way to access true reality of existence and creation. Beyond that, language “literally” fails and inner knowing, direct gnosis, and various telepathic clairvoyance modes are required.
The vast majority of ordinary people who rely on mass media and “common knowledge” are, for the most part, incapable of penetrating the falsehoods that constitute the web and weft of what is accepted as “human life on earth”. This applies to everything encompassed by ordinary awareness from personal to global affairs.
There are those people who like to “think” they are “better informed”, who “think” they are “more aware” of all these things, and so become self-infatuated that they know a little more than others around them. They really do not know that they are only being clever at re-hashing social control memes. Some actually earn their living at this within academia, government, and consultancies. That they get paid to propagate ignorance and falsehoods serves to validate their work as socially “meaningful”. Those who aspire to higher positions learn to mimic and quote these people and thus part of the control loop is closed.
Recently I came upon an article by a so-called “opinion leader” who self-identified with the “progressive” social-political tendencies. First I was struck by the re-framing of what constituted “left” and “right” in the social meme spectrum. What the author described as “left” would have been considered “right wing” only twenty years ago. These concepts have not changed, it is a type of cognitive dissonance and “social dementia” that has emerged.
Due to the familiar language constructs and descriptors, people who are trying to express some deeper truth behind official distortions find themselves relying on familiar (and pre-programmed) expressions. This is evident everywhere. It is difficult to discuss what is going on the world without relying on simplistic falsehoods that are embedded into language. A simple and widespread example: People will argue whether such and such country did this or that, such and such head of state did the following, the Americans did this and that, the French did this and so, and so on. Today hardly anyone has the intellectual capacity to properly define or frame the meaning of such “shorthand” terms, and thus by maintaining contemporary connotations, they maintain the social programming memes of the powers-that-be. Next time you use a term like “our government” or “our country”, pause for a breath and reflect on the implications of such common expression in shaping thought and meaning.
The term ”humanity” is in itself a control meme that has at its kernel the centrality of ego-personality-self, projected as a collective ego-self for races, nations, or globally. A simple substitute for “humanity” would be the term “humans”. But any commonly recognized reference of humans/ humanity/etc. nevertheless evokes the core control concept of collective ego-personality-selves as central. By manipulating enough humans to accept a large-scale collective threat, the powers-that-be can rationalize “popular support” for all manner of extreme actions. For example, there is the ignorant acceptance that the largest collective threats are from “global warming/carbon dioxide” emissions and “global terrorism”. The current disease pandemic threat is another example that is used to compel people into receiving suspicious injections and in extreme cases, to accept martial law. To escalate the global meme control further an “alien invasion” threat would be manufactured. All of these evoke a false oneness under the control of the dominant social forces, the powers-that-be. Humans who directly know their higher spiritual self cannot be manipulated this way.
There is very little truth remaining in the language when the meme-control linguistics serve to instantly and automatically limit and distort meaning. Since very few people have the attention span and capacity to listen carefully and few have the capacity to properly define their true intentions, there is very little capacity remaining for genuine truth speaking or truth seeking.
Due to the influence of psycho-social meme engineering, the adaptive controls of the matrix fostered a process designed to stop any serious challenges to collective reality by flushing them into an abyss of homogenized irrelevancy. This was done based upon a twisted variation on cognitive dissonance: simply stated, “everyone has their own truth/reality and that all ideas are equal and therefore differing perspectives are all true”. The result is that honest comparison of differences become impossible and no evolution of thought and awareness can proceed.
Amongst those who are socially sanctioned as “specialists” or “professionals”, very little honest exchange is possible as most everyone is interested in defending their own turf and competing for funding. Society as a whole has been conditioned to defer to “external authorities” or experts. There are now various levels of authorities who are paid to be “official critics”. The more they are quoted, the more deeply thorough the social mind control process becomes. It is interesting that one notable “critic”, who hides behind a façade of social- progressivism, specializes in linguistics, a practice central to social thought control. The conditioned deference to external authorities is readily mimicked in the “new age” tendencies, with various lecture circuit frauds touting their college degrees and channelers playing one-upmanship between channeled sources trumping one another’s concocted authority.
Those who begin to try to penetrate the controls and the falsehoods initially have to sort out the grains of truth that are concealed –an unrewarding and frustrating process at best.
In anticipation of a portion of the population wanting to look “outside of the box”, engineered memes were developed by those in control of religion. Early versions included: “be obedient and live a good life and you would be rewarded in the next”; and an alternate version to frighten: “obey or be damned”. Since these can lose their effectiveness from one generation to another, there is now the “shopping mall of the new age” where anything and everything was available and possible and equally valued. Anything and everything, that is, except the real truth.
While there are ineffective and meme-engineered “debates” and “campaigns” promoting “free speech” on the Internet, the reality is that there is a massive and nearly unmeasurable flood of “agents” (mostly paid) who are assigned topics to monitor and comment on. One can search the Internet for information on a given topic and retrieve ten different versions of the same event, all of which will be generally incorrect or deliberately misleading. Very few humans have the capacity to sort through such a morass of irrelevancies. So what is the point? Why was Kennedy shot? Is Bin Laden dead or not? There have never been such things as “national interests”, only convenient flags for the powers-that-be. Public announcements from officialdom are just that –announcements to keep the public’s distracted. Why should anyone expend energy on the banalities of the civilization unless they expect to gain for themselves? What difference does any of this make?
More data does not lead to better information, more information does not lead to better knowledge, more knowledge does not lead to true wisdom.
