Who invented eggs and bacon?
What do eggs and bacon, the Council of Public Relations and the third Reich propaganda machine have in common?
A bacon company wanted to sell more bacon, so they invited Edward Bernays*, the nephew of Sigmund Freud, to persuade people to eat more bacon. He came up with the idea of adding eggs to the meal for breakfast (this is true – look it up!)
He knew from his uncle that the thinking mind could be bypassed by suggestion in order to persuade people to accept something they hadn’t previously thought of. The German Third Reich liked this idea employing psychological techniques, and used it for their own purposes: in fact, everyone seems to have used this strategy. The word ‘propaganda’ was then tainted, so Bernays came up with the phrase, “The Council of Public Relations”.
We have been under its influence ever since, and do not have one original thought in our heads. They have all been subtly placed there. It may sound like witch-craft but actually, it’s rich-craft! In order to make money – lots of money – you either need to control the market, or know something in advance!
All media, and speculation on the internet, are at the service of these mass controllers to sway public opinion. If you think you are above it all, think again…well no, don’t, as you will only come up with a planted conclusion! Remember, you do not have an original thought…
So what to do?
Obviously, any thought we have will rely on other previous, conditioned thoughts. But this does not apply to pure awareness, which is before thought! Thoughts merely slide us into a virtual reality again.
There isn’t much we can do about this other than…be aware. Look up Edward Bernays and see where it leads. The modern “Institute of Human Relations” – that’s where. All government and corporations use this. Rich-craft is about power and control.
We live in an illusion. The ultimate, enlightened beings know this, and so do the relative, ‘enlightened’ unenlightened beings – but they are still caught up in the illusion. We can still work within this system, doing the best we can, but without becoming attached to our eggs and bacon…or to anything else for that matter.
There is a serious problem; everyone around us merely repeats what’s in their heads. We are walking, talking, advertising bill-boards…clever eh? Our minds are very sensitive and suggestible, and we are clingers! Knowing all this is going on actually helps us get free, as it is so ridiculous.
We can wake up!
*Edward Louis Bernays (November 22, 1891 − March 9, 1995) was an Austrian-American pioneer in the field of public relations and propaganda, referred to in his obituary as “the father of public relations”. He combined the ideas of Gustave Le Bon and Wilfred Trotter on crowd psychology with the psychoanalytical ideas of his uncle, Sigmund Freud.
He felt this manipulation was necessary in society, which he regarded as irrational and dangerous as a result of the “herd instinct” that Trotter had described. Bernays was named one of the 100 most influential Americans of the 20th century by Life magazine.
