How Would We Know If We Were Brainwashed?
Brainwashing is the systematic effort to adopt a particular deception, loyalty, instruction, or doctrine by bypassing a person’s will or awareness. It uses psychological techniques that manipulate the thoughts of a person or group by changing attitudes, frames of reference, beliefs and values.
Does this sound familiar?
Brainwashing reduces a subject’s ability to think critically or independently, in order to introduce alternative views into our minds.
Do you question your thoughts?
All human beings have been manipulated for thousands of years. That is how the deeply ingrained ideas embedded in our minds are difficult to remove.
No special effects are needed – just words that we read and hear every day. The truth is not in the words; the truth is in what is reading the words – and it is that which we are taught to ignore.
The process of de-brainwashing is meditation, but the meditation has to be dropped as well, as that too becomes a form of brainwashing – “I am meditating.”
Meditation increases clarity and genuine compassion,
thereby bypassing brainwashing.
When we meditate properly, no I is present.
Just undistracted pure consciousness.
