The Bewildered herd

So who the hell are you, then? What lies behind those eyes? When you
look in the mirror, what do you see? Do you see the real you, or what
you have been conditioned to believe is you? The two are so, so,
different. One is an infinite consciousness capable of being and creating
whatever it chooses, the other is an illusion imprisoned by its own
perceived and programmed limitations.
Which of these “yous” is controlling your life? Infinity or limitation?
Self love or self disdain? Freedom of thought or a prison of the mind?
Sadly for the overwhelming majority of people on this planet all but
the privileged few - it is the conditioned mind which prevails. They
live their lives within their programmed limitations of thought, view,
and action. It is a world of I can’ts and I daren’ts and I mustn’ts; of I
shoulds and I musts and I ought tos; a world of conforming to what
someone else says they must be or should be. While the real them sees
only solutions and opportunities to learn and evolve, the programmed
them sees only problems and reasons not to do. They live life behind
bars in a cell of their own making. The world itself reflects the sum
total of these billions of individual prisons. The Earth has become a
global Alcatraz, a spinning ball of control and imposition dictated by
the few at the expense of the many. Freedom? Free-what? How do you
spell that again? The human race has not been free for a very, very
long time, well before recorded history. But the trick is to persuade us
that we are free - then we won’t do anything about the walls that
surround us and the warders at the door. Walls? What walls? You’re
free! Warders? What warders? You’re free!

Yes you are free: you are free to watch television - thirty channels
and more of mindless crap which close down your sense of infinity
and fred you illusions of what you should do, be and think. You have
the freedom to press the zappa button and choose any one of them.
Oh what a joy to live in the land of freedom. You are free to watch the
news and see journalists and correspondents telling you, mostly without
question, the official explanation of events - explanations designed to
ensure that you see the world in the desired fashion and react in the
desired way. Ladies and gentlemen, repeat after me... I am free... I am
free. Yes! yes! yes! You are free to do as we tell you; free to think as
we tell you; free to live as we tell you. And you are even free to die as
we tell you in the wars coldly created to destroy, control and
manipulate.
The human race is free?
No, no, no.
The human race is a herd.

Here we are, unique, eternal aspects of consciousness with an infinity
of potential and we have allowed ourselves to become an unthinking,
unquestioning blob of conformity and uniformity. A herd. Once we
concede to the herd mentality we can be controlled and directed by a
tiny few. And we are.
I was standing in the sunshine one day surrounded by an enormous
herd of sheep. The farmer arrived in his truck, climbed out, and stood
motionless, leaning on his stick. Immediately a few of the sheep began
to walk towards him and within minutes it was like Exodus. Hundreds
of sheep were following those few in front. Any stragglers who didn’t
conform to this baa, baa mentality were given a dose of fear from the
sheep dog and then they rushed into line also. In a ridiculously short
time this combination of the baa, baa, and the fear had rounded up the
whole vast herd. All it took was one man doing very little and a sheep
dog dispensing fear. As I observed this, I thought: “I’m looking at the
human race here. This is how we are controlled”. We have stopped
thinking for ourselves and given our minds (power) away. Therefore
we follow the one in front in the most extraordinarily robotic fashion.
And we are consumed by fear in every fibre of our being. Once our
fear responses are activated, we rush to conform even if we are aware
enough to realise that what we are being asked to think, do, and say, is
a nonsense.

These weapons, the baa, baa, and the fear, allow an
astonishingly few people to mould and direct the world in their own
perverted image, a process that is leading, unless we wake up and grow
up, towards a world government, army, central bank and currency, and
a microchipped population: in short, the total global control of every
man woman and child.
While it may appear at first to be incredibly difficult for a relative
handful of people to control the lives of nearly six billion, it is in fact
comparatively easy, once you have control of education and the media
- the sources of the “information” and mantra messages which bombard
the conscious and subconscious mind from cradle to grave. These
messages are not designed to inform, but to direct and condition, to
divide and rule. The religious, scientific, political and economic
manipulators position themselves between the truth and the human
conscious mind. They are the middlemen and women who seek to keep
out of the public arena the knowledge that would open our minds to
our real and infinite potential.

is it asking too much to post credits for whoever wrote that?

oh hello pvs
guess who wrote it😄

David Icke

lol yeah

Hmmmm...I like it!! Not sure who wrote it, but I've read much like it..
Is it a kabbala teaching? It could be from many sources...

its david ickes view on the world..heres some more 🙂

We are fed a mental diet of pap and crap
designed to diminish our sense of self and close down our
consciousness until it becomes a pale shadow of what it can be. It
becomes a sheep and the sheep become a herd. As someone once said,
there are three types of person in the world: a tiny few who make things
happen; a slightly larger number who watch things happen; and all the
rest who go around saying: what’s happening, what’s happening? The
truth is denied to people because it will set them free. Instead, those at
the peak of the religious, scientific, political, and economic empires
(the same state of mind in different clothes) hand down their version
of “truth”, a version which means that people must believe whatever
they want them to believe. And, to be fair, humanity does not have a
great record for demanding the truth or searching for it. We have
developed lazy minds. It’s appropriate that the word ignorance is an
extension of the word ignore. We ignore so much and so we become
ignore-ant.
Once you have conditioned one generation to think in the way you
require, it becomes even easier to condition the next generation. You
now have the programmed parents working unknowingly on your
behal{ conditioning their children to accept their own conditioned view
of life. Such parents don’t do this because they are bad people. They
do it because they genuinely think their view is best for their children.
But the effect is the same: one programmed generation helps to
programme the next one because it does not respect anyone’s right to
be themselves. Each generation has a right to see life in a way that
makes sense to them, not their parents, their teachers, or the guy
reading the news.

But sadly, people accept without thinking so much that is passed down to them. They don’t ask the most liberating
question it is possible to ask: Why? Why do we do it this way? Why
do we believe this or that? Who says? The question “why?” is the
driving force behind evolution. When I spoke in the United States, an
American friend told me a story that brilliantly highlights what I mean.
She said that when she was preparing dinner one day she cut the corners
off the ham before putting it in the pan.
“Why do you do that?” her husband asked.
“I don’t know - my mother always used to do it.”
“Why did your mother cut the corners off the ham?”
“I don’t know, she just did - what’s it matter?”
“Ring your mother and ask her why she cut the corners off the ham.”
She rang her mother.
“Mum, you know when I was a girl and you used to cut the corners
off the ham? Why did you do that?”
“Because my pan was never big enough!”
If her husband had not asked the question “why?”, she would have
continued to cut the corners off the ham and her children would quite
possibly have done it, too. This is how one generation allows its sense
of self to be conditioned by older generations, parents, teachers and
media people. They don’t question why. This sponge mentality and the
desire to impose one’s thoughts and beliefs on others has created an
amazingly effective vehicle for the Elite to control the direction of the
world. It is what I have called the Hassle-Free Zone. Every dogma,
belief-system, culture, and society has a Hassle-Free Zone. It works
like this: you set limits of acceptable thought, view and behaviour and
anyone who steps outside of those very narrow limits is immediately
either ridiculed as “mad” or condemned as “bad”. In my case both!
Some people stay within the Hassle-Free Zone because they are
persuaded that this desperately constricted view is indeed how life
should be lived.

great swathes of humanity are living a lie and
denying what they really believe and what they really want to do with
their lives. They don the mask. Stand in a crowded street and watch all
those people walking by. You are not looking at the real, infinite them.
You are looking at the mask they project to the world. The mask they
believe is acceptable enough to the rest of the prisoners to avoid being
ridiculed or condemned for thinking and acting differently to the
demands of the Hassle-Free Zone. It is the fantastic tensions within the
psyche caused by this denial which lie at the heart of most mental,
emotional, and therefore physical disease (dis-ease, disharmony) which
manifests as illness, depression, suicide, a lack of fulfilment, and
“what’s the point?”. This daily “war” in the psyche brings into conflict
that part of us which recognises our infinity and uniqueness, and the
conscious level which seeks to deny such feelings because it fears the
consequences of expressing uniqueness in a world of programmed
uniformity.

If you want to be free, stop living a lie. Stop denying yourself. You
are a unique aspect of all that exists, the sum total of all your unique
experiences since you first became cC)nscious an infinity ago. That is
a reason to be joyous. There is no aspect of consciousness in all creation
that is like you. You are special, as everyone is equally special. But
instead of being joyous and proud of that specialness, we have allowed
our uniqueness to become something to fear. Oh my God!
Because we fear being ourselves, we are uncomfortable when anyone
around us decides to evacuate the Hassle-Free Zone and express their
uniqueness. Their dash for mental and emotional freedom makes a
statement about us and our own mental and emotional prison. People

Think about the consequences for your life and the planet that result
from this frar of being YOU. If we give our minds away to others and
allow them to tell us what to think and do, and if we concede our
uniqueness to the fear of being different, we give control of this world
to a tiny Elite who use their power and manipulation to dictate the
limits of the Hassle-Free Zone. Whoever decides the point at which a
view or lifestyle is inside or outside the Zone (the point at which you
meet ridicule or condemnation), also dictates the limits within which
billions of people live their lives because they are terrified of being
different from the herd. Again and again people say they support what
I am saying and doing, but they dare not say so for fear of the
consequences. Well it’s time to summon the courage, because the
consequences of keeping quiet are going to be far worse than speaking
out and being proud of what you think and what you are. What’s
happened to us, for goodness sake? We have taken on a mass
schizophrenia in which we have become both the prisoners of the
Hassle-Free Zone and its police force. Because we don’t respect our
own right to be unique, we conform to the limits of the Zone and become a slave. Because we don’t respect everyone else’s right to be
unique, we become the police force or the farmer hassling and herding
the other slaves into acquiescence. The ridicule and condemnation can
only reach the levels required to frighten people into submission if the
masses, the other slaves, play their part in dispensing it. We are not
frightened by what the presidents, prime ministers and global bankers
think about us - it is the reaction of our friends, family, and workmates
that concerns us and frightens us into conformity. The reaction of the
other slaves! The mental, emotional, and spiritual police force which
controls the masses is itself peopled by.. .the masses. It is like having a
cell full of prisoners and whenever one of the prisoners finds a means
of escape, all the other prisoners run to block the exit.

We have accepted en masse
that democracy is another word for freedom. Like hell it is. Democracy
is not freedom, it is a dictatorship camouflaged as freedom. The same
force controls, directly or indirectly, every major political party and
movement. It created most of them. When you vote at an election, you
are choosing between different aspects of the same force. The money
and the media decide who becomes president of the United States and
the money and the media are owned and controlled by the same people.
Let us write the following in letters 20 feet high: Democracy Is Not
Freedom. 30 people telling 49 what to do is not freedom. In fact, most
governments are elected by a minority of the population and they still
call it a “democratic” election. Freedom is the right of all people to
express who they are, what they think, and how they wish to live their
lives: free from imposition or hassle from anyone. It is to be able to
celebrate our individual uniqueness without rules, regulations, ridicule
and condemnation from those who seek to impose their view of life
upon the rest of us.
Until we respect our own, and everyone’s, right to be different, to
make our own choices, and create our own conscious realities free from
imposition and pressure to conform, we will remain in a prison of our
own making. We will continue to be both the policeman and the
prisoner. And a handful of people with a deeply unpleasant agenda will
continue to run the world. The choice, as always, is ours. We can accept
the prison or we can walk out to freedom. And freedom is but a thought
away.

so there u have it 🙂

Most people are like sheep..they would rather listen to what others say then find out the truth themselves...Are they lazy or just enjoy being ignorant?

probably a bit of both

Excuse me! But here in the good ol' US of A we have 130
channels of mindless crap, not 30! So there!

And what's a "zappa button"? Frank or Dweezil?
