Controlled Opposition

Controlled opposition
dilutes deeper inquiry.

Controlled opposition is a protest movement that is actually being led by government agents. Nearly all governments throughout history have employed this technique to trick and subdue their adversaries. Vladimir Lenin said, “The best way to control the opposition is to lead it ourselves.”

The shocking thing is that it works, as it still goes unnoticed.

Spirituality is no different. When spirituality is used as a counter to everyday life, as in “We are going to tell you the truth, so now follow these special rituals”, this is controlled opposition.
