Being Taken Over
Capturing the mind en masse is a war we never noticed.
We don’t notice that we’ve been taken over by a gradual cultural change until it is too late. When people have taken on ideas, they’ve have been assimilated. We’ve been processed. People self-censor without noticing, which means they cannot be honest or trustworthy. Our communication skills are woefully inadequate, and we never realise that there are those who are out-thinking us.
An example: we may feel good about ourselves playing a game, not realising someone else wrote the rules. We think we know everything because we catch up with the news, not realising that someone chose what we read – and that someone could even be AI nowadays.
We are kept in a maze of concepts. Our culture is being managed in the guise of evolving, but in reality, we are conforming to chaos and conflict, and this will then be used to create more aggressive processing.
When we know our own mind, the essence of which is pure consciousness, we are free to see with clarity – divine splendour. Never say, “I know my own mind.” What is this ‘I’ that knows?
In the first instant of anger or annoyance, wisdom or pure consciousness is present. Something is seen and the mind brightens – that moment is our reality of divine splendour – but then, our processing kicks in and we are captured again with an emotion, and we react.
We merely have to notice this processing, and we are free.
Enlightenment is never being taken over by appearances.
