Introduction
We just had mid-term elections that reveal how effectively the use of behavior theory in government and media divides us even when we all want the same things. It also keeps us busy while those using it, continue their march to a one world government.
The problems we are all facing in our world are not being caused by a lack of information. Nor are they caused by just misunderstanding one another. They are caused by what people believe while not realizing that the information that formed their beliefs was engineered to prejudice them to conclusions without them knowing it.
Yes, people are being used to do it, but there is only one source for all of it and that is the antichrist spirit of the false prophet who is the spiritual influence here on earth for the father of lies. His goal is to take peace from the earth so that we will kill one another (Revelation 6:4).
I hope that my readers will find some relief in this article by understanding how this covert engineering, that is designed to prejudice us toward how others look and what they think, actually happens.
What just happened?
The larger hot buttons that most people cared about are: Crime, the economy, gun control, healthcare, open borders, LGBTQ, abortion, and climate change. Most people favored candidates who said the right things about those subjects. But larger trends that seemed to supersede these issues was talk in the ads about extremism and the promotion of fear.
After the dust settled on the left and right compendium, both sides scratched their heads and asked the same question: Can people really be this stupid?
We all wonder
We all want the same things. We want freedom; we want the chance for prosperity; we want as few people suffering as possible; we want healthy children; we want to have crime-free streets. We are all confronted by the exact same challenges in life, so why the difference in so many people about how to achieve them?
In other words, what makes people want what they want?
What predicts a person’s bias?
What makes them automatically come down on the liberal or conservative side of things?
What determines a persons sexual preferences?
What makes them sympathetic toward LGBTQ or Straight issues?
What makes a person want to control people?
What makes them feel this way about those around them?
Why do so many have an appetite for evil?
Why are they attracted to violence and what makes them want to explore the darker side of life?
Why do some so easily identify with revolutionary social issues?
Why are they motivated to spend their time, energy, and Money on activism?
Feelings about stupid people begin to occur in early childhood and grow for a lifetime. They do have a profound affect upon those who have them, but the real toxic damage is caused by those who are using their sorcery to manipulate these feelings to control our world.
The usual suspects
Without a doubt, people are influenced by brain chemistry, upbringing, and social influence, but it goes beyond that. There is more to learning than listening just as there is more to teaching than telling.
Since we all want the same things, why is the threat of extremism or fear, influencing people to make choices against their own interests? Not to excuse doing stupid things, but aside from questions about the legitimacy of the election, what could be causing them to behave this way? What I am about to show you will change the way you think about people.
We live in a three dimensional world
We exist in three dimensions:
Light
Matter
Time
These are fixed and beyond human control. But perceptions about them are being manipulated.
We think in three dimensions:
Intelligence: We are changed by what we learn
Perception: We choose by what we perceive
Moral sensibility: We behave with a sense of right and wrong
Because these are not fixed, most of the effort to influence our choices, happens here.
We experience through five senses:
See
Taste
Hear
Smell
Touch
Though some may possess a greater amplification of these than others, we are all the same in that we experience the world through our senses in exactly the same way.
But the difference occurs in how we perceive what we sense
Since we are all confronted by the exact same challenges in life, and we all want the same things, these gateways through which our senses must pass are the only thing that explains how people come to think differently about how to achieve them.
This is what differentiates us:
Memory
Imagination
Reasoning
Conscience
Emotions
Certain tastes or smells may conjure up a memory in some people. Certain sounds or sights do the same in others. Some even experience traumatic emotions when triggered by something they hear or see.
Some people experience a sixth sense of any or all of these. Like Nikola Tesla, some have imaginations that allow them to conceptualize what others cannot see. Others have savant memories like the Rain Man. Still others find a career in acting because they have an above average ability to empathize with others.
But for all of us, the course of our lives are influenced by how we filter what we sense through these five gateways.
These gateways are the devil’s playground
Not only do all five gateways of memory, imagination, reason, conscience, and emotions amplify what our five senses tell us, but they can be used to change the culture of our world.
A quote by Roger Scruton (1944–2020) sums it up:
“The culture of a civilization is the art and literature through which it rises to consciousness of itself and defines its vision of the world.”
So, if you can bend that culture, you can bend a person’s vision of their world. And if it can be done without being detected, it can have an influence upon what people perceive through their gateways without them suspecting it. It will affect how they feel about things. It will change how they view their world. Hence, it can change an election.
Some attribute this quote to Abraham Lincoln:
“You can fool some of the people all of the time and you can fool all of the people some of the time, but you can’t fool all of the people, all of the time.”
But what if you can?
Just how does it happen?
What we see and hear in the media can powerfully control our perceptions. Saying things on the news or parading images across the silver screen can change the way we feel about something, if we do not perceive that it is being done on purpose. Most advertising is based upon this principle along with most political campaigns.
Controlled perceptions is a five-sense prison:
“The mind that perceives the limitation is the limitation”
Some examples of perceptions that are just below the surface:
David Copperfield convinced people that he made the Statue of Liberty disappear. Criss Angel did the same with an elephant, and David Blaine showed people how he could levitate. They used what magicians call distraction.
It really is the same dynamic. It explains what makes your car keys disappear when you look for them. You cannot see them right there in front of you because your sense of sight is being blocked by your imagination that is convinced that they are lost.
Both liberals and conservatives are being distracted today by artificially manipulating their imaginations in order to inspire them to choose against their own self interests. It is what is making both of them ask the same question: How could people be so stupid?
The Mind Space program
I think most believe that influence peddling is going on in the world to shape our decisions. But while many believe it, most find it incredulous to think that propaganda is being used by our own government to manipulate us to make the decisions that they want us to make.
The following is just one example of how it is happening in the United Kingdom.
In 2009, the Cabinet Office of the Institute for Government (an independent think tank in the United Kingdom) commissioned a report, that would come to be called Mindspace. Sir Gus O’Donnell, Cabinet Secretary and Head of the Home Civil Service, asked Matt Tee, Permanent Secretary for Government Communication, to explore what part current behavioral theory could play on policy-making for senior public sector leaders and policy-makers. In response, they brought together senior policy, strategy and insight officials from across government, alongside a number of external experts.
Their report came to two conclusions:
It concluded that government should build behavioral theory into its current policy-making practices:
By applying new techniques learned from behavioral science to existing methods, current attempts to change public behavior could be improved and policy makers can become more effective at tackling challenges in three major problem areas: crime and anti-social behavior; pro-social behavior, such as voting and volunteering; and healthy and prosperous lifestyles.
It also concluded that leadership had a real appetite to absorb and apply this latest thinking that would help them meet the pressing challenges ahead, but that they needed help in translating this appetite into action.
To begin, they categorized three techniques that can be used to shape behavior in society
The first two measures are focused on changing people’s minds about their behavior. The third focuses on changing the contexts through exploitation of their behavior
1st category - Coercive measures
These are hard measures to compel us to change - we have no choice
Government legislation and mandates
Parking tickets and fines
Excessive use fees and penalties
Credit scores and debt collectors
Corporate rules and policies
User agreements and privacy policies
Very effective but costly
Risky only to smaller companies
Creates animosity and protest
2nd category - Less coercive measures
Soft measures to coax us to change - we still have a choice
Incentives like rebates, discounts, and credits
Spinning information to make it sound like you would be an idiot not to respond
3rd category - Non-coercive measures
These are silent measures that cause us to change through exploitation - we don’t know that we have a choice.
Whereas coercive measures focus on changing minds, non-coercive measures are based upon changing contexts - the environment within which we make decisions and respond to cues.
Advantages of non-coercive measures
Greatly enhances the effectiveness of soft measures.
Unveils ways of shaping behavior that appear to be natural but are not.
Useful for redirecting inbuilt responses to the world around us.
Produces significant changes at relatively low cost.
Always portrayed as improving individual well-being and social welfare
Guidelines for policy makers
In order to help them incorporate these behavioral theories into legislative action, they reduced their findings into nine of the most robust (non-coercive) influences on our behavior that can be used as a quick checklist when making policy. (notice how all of them appeal to our five gateways)
The Mindspace pneumonic: (behavioral theory of what motivates people)
Messenger - we are heavily influenced by who communicates information
Incentives - our responses to incentives are shaped by predictable mental shortcuts such as strongly avoiding losses
Norms - we are strongly influenced by what others do
Defaults - we go with the flow of pre-set options
Salience - our attention is drawn to what is novel and seems relevant to us
Priming - our acts are often influenced by sub-conscious cues
Affect - our emotional associations can powerfully shape our actions
Commitments - we seek to be consistent with our public promises, and
reciprocate acts
Ego - we act in ways that make us feel better about ourselves
Quote from the report about public permission and personal responsibility
“Behavior change is often seen as government intruding into issues that should be the domain of personal responsibility. However, it is possible for government just to supply the trigger or support for individuals to take greater personal responsibility. And we suggest that evidence from behavioral theory may, in some areas, challenge accepted notions of personal responsibility.”
In other words, give yourself an advantage by controlling someone without them knowing it. They won’t be able to prove it because you lie about what you are doing and who is doing it. Most will know that something is wrong but they won’t be able to put their finger on why.
The trap of using behavioral approaches to solving problems in society
Policy makers usually trust those who come up with the solution. Many of them don’t realize that the problems they are trying to solve are occurring naturally when in fact most are manufactured. The reasons they are given for a proposed solution are thought to be honest, when in fact most are cover stories.
The mistakes they make under these conditions end up creating the environment that actually amplifies the problem and sometimes cost trillions of dollars. To gain approval from the public, they tell everyone that this will solve the problem when in fact, it will make the problem worse.
They usually use the threat of fear and loss of benefits to compel people to cooperate. People are given the perception that something is threatening when it actually isn’t. Though it is irrational (the gateway of reason), people will feel threatened and move in predictable ways. Thus, their perceptions dictate how they respond.
These guidelines, in one form or another, now occupy top policy discussions at the highest levels of government around the world.
The two-winged bird
This illustration gives a simple way to understand how this happens in our world.
Every battery has two poles; a positive pole and a negative pole. It really can’t function without both because one pole must attract the other in order for current to flow. (I highly recommend probablyalexandra, another Substack author, for her insights on this and much more click here)
Like a battery, a bird must have two wings in order to fly. And like a bird, the political systems of our world must have a left and right wing in order to function.
But it doesn’t work the way most people think. In order to steer a plane to the left for instance, lift to the left wing must decrease while lift to the right wing must increase. Consequently, the right wing will push the plane to the left. And if you want to steer it to the right, you use the left wing to push the plane to the right.
Having watched it through a multitude of election cycles, most people have observed this behavior in politics. When the left comes to power, that ultimately pushes the country to the right because people become disgusted with what they see happening and then it moves back to the left when they become disillusioned with what the right is doing. It keeps us busy while the agenda moves forward.
People cannot detect what is happening to them because they don’t know that their gateways are being exploited to become emotionally welded to either the left or the right side of a cause. Because of the messages of extremism and fear (both appealing to the gateway of feelings), people lose the ability to reason and often choose against their own interests while concluding that those who do have those interests, are brain dead.
If you have ever wondered why things don’t seem to change no matter how we vote, this is the reason. Benjamin Franklin once said that democracy is two wolves and a lamb deciding what to have for dinner and liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote.
The sorcerers exploiting us have no authority to do what they are doing. The only weapon they have is deception. They use it to control those who control the money of our world and they use that to control the two-winged bird of our democracy.
Conclusion
Some try to explain our world as a battle between the left and the right or liberal vs conservative. A better explanation is that they are both part of the same plane that is being directed to a new world order.
Some are suggesting that a great reset is coming that will rescue us from all of this. Don’t be fooled. The institutions who have broken our world cannot fix it. A reset to a light-world order from a dark-world order will still lead us to a one-world order. The announced great reset is to further lock down the prison. God’s great reset is to free us from it. Jesus, not a great reset, is the answer to our prayers.
Only God controls the wind
Things are not as hopeless as they feel (there is that gateway again). Even though the sorcerers are trying to misdirect the world, they must rely on the wind to do it and only God controls the wind. He uses head winds and tail winds and sometimes wind sheers and turbulence, to redirect the plane. For those who don’t know what He is up to, it can be quite alarming.
But Jesus is bringing those who believe in Him to a different runway:
Daniel 7:27 (CHV) And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him.
We must live beyond our senses
Whenever I am tempted to think, How someone can be so stupid, either to look the way they do or make the choices that they make, it has really helped me to realize that they didn’t get that way on their own. We have all been bombarded with covert deception most of our lives and in need of the truth that sets us free.
Paul reminded us that to do that; we must look beyond our senses:
1 Corinthians 3:3-4 (CHV) And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual, but as to carnal, even as to infants in Christ. I have fed you with milk, and not with meat because you were not able to bear it. Even now, are you not carnal and walking just like those without Christ when there is envying, and strife, and divisions among you?
The word carnal is not talking about just their behavior. The message to the Corinthian church was that they were living by only what they could see, taste, hear, smell, or touch. They were ignoring the unseen world beyond those senses. Only then could they know the truth that would set them free.
Living only by the senses of our natural world, is the pathway to all human disharmony. True unity comes from being one in Christ and not just one in those who express it.
