The Fatal Error of Sheep

Todd Hayen

I will start this article with an apology to those readers who lack a ense of humour similar to mine, as well as to those lovely big hearted folks who don’t like labeling of any sort (sheep and/or shrew).

Regarding the term “sheep”—I have tried (and am certain I have failed occasionally) to refrain from calling an individual person as “sheep.” It is rather a term I have applied to a group of people with a similar “mindset.” If you feel you fit that mindset, you may, if you wish, call yourself a “sheep.” If you find it offensive, and do not feel you “fit,” then that is fine by me. Do not include yourself in the sheep group.

As for shrews. Well, that’s where the sense of humour comes in. I needed a term other than “those of us on the other side of the divide who believe in freedom and do not believe in the agenda or the power hungry globalists trying to take over the world”…whew…”shrew” is an easier way to get the same point across once the term is defined.

Why shrew? That’s a long story. But it is a term as good as any, and is complimentary to “sheep” as it starts with the same first two letters, and it too is an animal. Turns out shrews can be ferocious, even though very small. So that fits too.

So there you have it. Read this article with these things in mind, as it is full of reference to sheep and shrew.

The fatal error of sheep is not realizing that the people they call “conspiracy theorists” and “science deniers” are not some small fringe group of weirdos and hillbillies as they might imagine. The fact is we are large in number and include many brilliant minds and formidable members in our individual fields of expertise. This is no ragtag band of ne’er do wells.

Although I have no question we are on the RIGHT side of things, I will say that to the people who have to deal with us—that fact is of no real consequence (being right seems to have to affect on them). It seems the sheep love to ignore us, and act as if we don’t exist, regardless of the fact we are right. They can’t be bothered with us; we are only a nuisance to them. That attitude is going to one day bite them really hard in the you know where.

Many sheep have asked me, “How can you be sure you are right and we are wrong?” I have often asked myself the same question. There are many answers, my favorite is simply to say, “we are right because we are right”—which of course is rather flippant. This, however, seems to be a more prudent answer: Shrews are curious and look hard for answers.

Even if the prevailing consensus seems correct, we always seem to want more. We want to actually understand why things are like they are. Maybe we don’t do this with everything we encounter; we certainly do it when facing big sweeping pronouncements and when the powers that be tell us we all have to “do” this or that, like take a vaccine no one has really studied for a virus that no one really knows that much about. We typically go “huh?”

We then dive into it. We go down every rabbit hole we can find. Many of those holes lead to dead ends, but we discover those dead ends for ourselves. We don’t let anyone bar us from access and say, “you don’t want to go down there.” We say, “huh? Why not?” Once we start to feel that our usual sources for information, generally what they call “Main Stream Media,” is not giving us the whole story, we quickly move into some uncharted territory and start digging there. Yes, again, more dead ends but we become accustomed to “dead ends” being par for the course of truly uninhibited discovery.

We create conclusions, assumptions, speculations built on all the information we have gathered, and begin to come up with something we can make a tenable statement of truth about. But it takes a ton of work. And is usually never final, never ironclad. We don’t seem to like things that “appear” ironclad.

Sheep do not do this.

I have not yet met one that does. They often THINK they do, and throw back to me lines they have heard on NPR, or the WP or NYT, or of course the big “authorities” such as the retired Tsar of Science Fauci, POTUS, heads of major hospitals or pharmaceutical companies, et al. They don’t seem to realize their insistence on these sources being accurate is akin to looking to Goebbels to verify the accuracy of a Hitler speech, or referring to Der Stürmer for the truth about Jews. You need, today, to go to a variety of sources before you will come upon an accurate portrayal of social or scientific reality.

Sheep refuse to accept this.

What is odd about this is that we have never been in a culture where the mainstream news is 100% reliable. Sources have always been biased, and to really get a true picture of something, we have always needed to access several sources.

The problem is that as Americans (or Canadians for that matter) it has been drilled into us that freedom, truth, mom and apple pie are the hallmarks of our American culture. Although most of us have been brought up to believe that, it really never has been the truth. Maybe for a millisecond it was back in 1776, but I doubt it. (The tenets here are true, but being told that these are the hallmarks and intentions of the American or Canadian government is not the truth.)

That doesn’t necessarily mean that this culture has been 100% deprived of any integrity for 200 years (well, right now you might be able to say that) it means we have always been independently responsible for seeing through this wall of subterfuge. Unfortunately I think they finally managed to chop off the chicken’s head. Most people out there seem to have lost the capacity to use their brains.

It didn’t used to take all that much to reveal the boll weevils hiding in the cotton. We had competing newspapers that reveled in revealing untruths in a competitor’s pages. This tended to work well with all but the biggest players (Rockefellers, Carnegies, Morgans, etc.), now it doesn’t work at all because all the big news sources are bought. This is pretty obvious, but most sheep-types seem to think an owner of a news source has no power over what they print.

Duh.

Many imagine some cigar smoking workaholic editor holding onto his anchor of truth uttering with disgust, “they’re not going to stop ME from printing THAT.” I don’t think that ever really existed. I think if anything kept older news sources more honest than today, it was stumbling onto “truth” as a marketable commodity. This no longer seems to be the case.

So what does this have to do with a sheep fatal error? Well, just that, truth is no longer a marketable commodity with major news sources, so we must all look to sources where it still is. Sheep don’t realize that shrews have truth on their side. And they align with truth. They also do not believe we have integrity, or that there are quite a few of us, and that we are very SMART, resourceful, and persistent. Eventually that is going to get them, and in a very hard way.

Truth is like rain water on a roof. It will find its way through if there is a way through. Where that analogy fails is when a roof becomes watertight. Culture and human society can never become “truthtight.” Don’t ask me why, it is just a given. Eventually truth finds its way in, no matter what. It may take a while, but truth will get through. It will prevail.

Shrews may not all know all the truth at any given moment, but they look for it, no matter where it might be hiding, and they find it. When they find it, and show other people where it is, they are widening the hole for more of it to come through, just like the leak in the roof, or the hole in the dam. Eventually the dam will break and the roof will cave in.

I think there may be another distinction between sheep and shrews – sheep believe in solutions while shrews believe in tradeoffs. That may be why we keep digging; we are also looking for downsides and better tradeoffs.

All that wasted energy bleating about sheep. They are not the authors of the psychopathic evil that is loose in the world– only a non-threatening target.

Also perhaps one is not excluded from sheepdom merely by having knowledge; perhaps action alone buys one a place outside the herd.

We are all sheep in one way or another, and in order to even survive in this physical incarnation we must all be shrews in one way or another as well. Life occurs in the tension of the opposites, in order to make words have meaning that penetrates, there must be some conflict, dissonance, or friction. Tension, then release, is the way of life. If you believe expressing ideas, even if they don’t suit your current position in your journey, is a waste of energy, just move on to something that does nurture you and/or feeds you in some way. You may think it is a waste of energy, I obviously do not, and there are a few readers I write for that agree. I write other articles as well. Maybe all of them are a waste of energy to you. If so. Just move on. No, sheep are not… Read more »

This part of Bruce Y Lee’s blurb is significant:

“For over two decades, Bruce and his team have been developing and using AI/ computer methods to better understand the complex systems of health. He and his team have authored over 255 scientific publications and led a multitude of projects funded by a wide variety of sponsors that span across a range of disciplines, including epidemic/pandemic preparedness and response, healthcare operations, infectious disease prevention and control, international development, non-communicable diseases (NCDs), nutrition, and physical activity.”

This “better understanding of the systems of health” is pure inversion. Lee is one of the new technocrats whose role is to IMPOSE “health models” I.e. to generate computer simulations of the population density and structure required by the parasite class and to project thoroughly fictitious problems to achieve that vision. Thus the new technocracy will REALISE virtual reality.

I’m glad to report that Stewart Lee – covid shilling woke luvvie – has not lost his biting wit. His latest Graud article has him praising the “bravery” and “heroism” of the Just Stop Oil protesters and even thinks that their invasion of that cricket pitch will become as iconic as the Tiananmen square tank man. Well of course the courage of invading a pitch is exactly like the courage of facing an advancing tank! Good one Stew!

Oh wait a minute! Maybe Stew has a point:

“Tank man” is another BS narrative. The photo was taken the day after the violence had subsided. He just happened to be standing in the right place for the photographer to make it look like he was stepping in front of a moving tank. In fact, the whole Tiananmen Square narrative is BS. The violence had occurred in other (admittedly nearby) places, and the main concern of the majority of the protesters hadn’t been “democracy.” Most of them were expressing their opposition to what they saw as an excess of African students being admitted to Chinese universities. Do a web search for “Tiananmen Square Wikileaks” to see a US intelligence report about the first-hand testimony of the Chilean ambassador and his wife.

Rachel Corrie showed what really happens when anyone stands up to an advancing juggernaut. The IDF mowed her down with an armoured bulldozer. I don’t recall iconic snaps of that one. I do recall our ever so compassionate media refer to her as a “dumbass” and one who “brought it on herself”. I wonder if Stew will mention her in one of his posts?

You may be right up to a point, but I do think a fair amount of modesty is called for when a person hints at ‘knowing God’… For me, His existence is not in doubt, but “knowing Him”, as a bald statement, seems too close a step to claiming to be somehow on His level, and I’d say the qualifications for that job call for nothing less than Christ’s qualities of self-sacrifice, as well as staggering wisdom, which, as I’m sure you’ll agree, few of us could come within a million miles of daring to claim. After all, even Christ referred to “My Father in heaven”, and not “My other self”, although we also know that he said, “I and the Father are one”… These are rather deep mysteries for a page like this. To take the spiritual core of your comment seriously, however, I’d say we can all aim… Read more »

If I may, the author seems to have both hand’s firmly on this sheep theme. To the point whereby he’s given this theme an incessant & repetitive pounding & from many angles now. It’s something he returns to again & again & again, like some sort of fascination or remit. He’s written numerous articles about “Sheep & Nazis”. Keeps rogering it silly. Our controllers would very much appreciate pointing out our differences. It would help add to the numerous other divide & rule thread’s running through our societies. As someone that claims to have been down many rabbit holes & being a psychotherapist. Feel a tad surprised that other factors of a coercive nature haven’t been considered.

If I may add a response here, I think Covid was the quintessential case of “The straw that broke the camel’s back.”

Many – myself included – “allowed” those who were speaking out against the system to withdraw 911 from their grab bag of critique. We kind of made excuses for them – like “they don’t dare or they’ll lose their forum” etc. etc. and so forth.

Their response – or lack of response – to Covid was simply too much; so “we” dropped them and looked around for some other source of information. And now “we” point the finger at those who still “allow” them to hold back their criticism – and call these folks “sheep.”

One doesn’t “turn” so much as reach a conscious decision that certain pundits simply have too much “baggage” (or, waxing Ibsen: too many corpses in their cargo) to be of any further value as a source of credible information.

I’m not big on agreement – as in “You must agree with me on every important issue or else I’m dropping you!” But I do expect at least tacit acknowledgement of very obvious occurrences.

Just on this thread I don’t see critical thinking but…. perhaps others should decide. As he says “We are already seeing a rewrite of history with “presentism” and the “Woke” culture. Yet, doesn’t extend this thought process to WWII. That seems like reinforcing narratives the victors peddled rather than critically thinking. 911, WMD’s should alone prove that the “rewriting of history” is far from exclusive for the times we currently live in. It’s been an ongoing theme. And its things like that & the constant sheep thing. That makes him appear as “them” to mine eye’s. Mentioned before that that term is dehumanising. Many are hopelessly brainwashed but others are in fear. Fear of becoming destitute of how they’ll feed their families. The lifetime, intergenerational lifetimes, of brainwashing & the false identities installed are very difficult to break.

Oh my yes, I agree 100%, I definitely have more in common with a “sheep” than the TPTB. As I have said many times, I believe we are all sheep in some way…some are more sheep than others (can I resist, “some are more equal than others”?)

Seriously, the “sheep” in my opinion are a state of mind, and we are all (at least those of us who are human) capable of putting on any state of mind at any time. But, that said, I do believe for us to be successful in obliterating TPTB we must bring all of our resources together…including the “sheep mind”…we are all brothers and sisters at the core…it is our mindset that is malleable and that can be judged, and thus changed.

You do seem to think that you have it all together, and all figured out with no room for certain offensive (to you) perspectives, accusing certain other writers (me) to be egoistic and part of the “controlled opposition.” You also seem to have it out for me personally, which I find both odd and creepy. Why is that? Am I the epitome of what you hate the most about humans? A person trying to create his own “private club with cozy little names?” A writer intent on dividing the culture into neat little divisions so it is easier to hate one or the other.

As many views here prove. “Accuse the other of which you’re being accused” attributed to Goebbels’s. If you deem myself C/O for not being enamored with your incessant sheep bashing then that is entirely your perogative. Many can be accused of attempting to clean their conscience of a lifetime of conformity & enabling of our host’s, by becoming “dissidents”. So it isn’t beyond the realms of possibility to consider, that now, they conveniently point at the adherents as a way to absolve themselves of a lifetime of conformity & obedience. 2020 has certainly offered that opportunity for many. Hence, why I ask the questions I do above. One being, how this “Shrew” like behaviour manifested itself BEFORE… Read more »

Anyone with a conscience who is willing to break from conformity is agreeable, surely? How can anyone ever be seen to legitimately ‘wake up’ using your reasoning? Or must we all conform to your acceptable version of how to rebel from the norm?

I think your intentions are questionable here, and I agree with you that perhaps you’re a little too conformist yourself. It feels a bit adolescent, tbh, like sneering at someone for not liking the same brand of rock and roll. A2

But I was not aware of the Agenda before Covid and WEF and WHO’s bullying the world. I saw it in a lot of things, but I was not aware how organized or how deep the cancer ran until now.

To be clear, I of course respect the author’s right to express himself however he sees fit, no question about that; this is simply an opinion among others and I’m exercising the right of voicing it.

“NETHERLANDS- Whilst you’re distracted by France, the Dutch government is hoping you won’t notice their police brutalising farmers, who are protesting the forced sale of their farms.”

How does the mainstream press deal with this?

https://www.france24.com/en/live-news/20230629-seven-arrested-in-fresh-protest-by-dutch-farmers-police

“Several hundred farmers and their supporters gathered on a square in The Hague, an AFP journalist said, far less than the 10,000 that organisers the Farmers Defence League had predicted”

Meaning that back then, there was relatively small number of diehard communists while most people quietly suffered and waited for the crap to blow over, while it seems to be opposite with this fucking wokeism-covidism. Note that I’m talking about the grass roots, not the establishment, which makes it much worse, as the nitwits provide a highly fertile soil for the elite pricks to work with.

Humans act like animals all the time, at the most basic level of behavior. It’s not that we choose to be animals, it’s that we are animals, at the most fundamental level of our physical existence. We eat, we breathe, we sleep, we shit and piss, we look for comfort. We fight, and mate, and breed, and rear our offspring. Such are the requirements of survival on this world.

Some, a comparative few, can transcend the basest impulses, instincts and drives and choose to be more broadly human, but ultimately, it’s impossible to understand our human nature without accepting the animal side of it.

When we act like animals, we have chosen to do so, just as we choose to do most of the things we do in the 21st Century.

A sheep and a wolf, on the other hand, have no choices in the matter of being a victim or a predator.
It’s simply what they are.

And I really don’t see any reason to use the most animal-like of our species to condemn the whole lot of us.

If you were right, we would never have evolved at all, and we’d all be Harvey Weinsteins, Tony Blairs, Myra Hindleys or Maggie Thatchers – all of them psychopathic, opportunistic parasites.

So what do you mean when you say acting like animals? If a mother nurses her baby, is she acting like an animal? After all, some animals nurse their offspring. If two people compete for the affection or attention of a potential mate, are they acting like animals? After all, reproduction in the animal world almost universally happens after competition. Most actions engaged in by animals, whatever the species, are value neutral; they’re simply survival based. Are human beings excused from these behaviors? If a herd of wildebeest join together to chase off a group of lions in order to protect one of their calves, is this any different from human animals protecting their own offspring? There are any number of videos available where you can watch animals go out of their way to rescue another animal, either of their own kind, or even from another species, frequently including Man.… Read more »

Todd, have you heard about the “default to truth” hypothesis? On a recent business trip I picked up a book called “talking to strangers” on the airport where this hypothesis is given some considerable “airtime” (it’s an interesting book as well). Anyway, I think it explains why most people are sheep – it’s simply too mentally costly and draining to maintain constant vigilance, so most people just subconsciously assume other parties are telling the truth. It’s basically a part of our human “operating system” for working together in groups, hence not that easy to change.

The interesting question I guess is why some people are more “shrew-like” – what unique experiences or traits unite us? Are we random mental “mutations” from the norm? I guess you as a psychologist could have some insight on this – do you have many “shrew” patients? Or mostly sheep?

Very good points. About 80% of my clients would fall into the sheep mindset, the rest are shrew-like. When I discover a client as a sheep-like person, I never divulge my “shrew self” and do not see them as inferior in any way. I am curious to know why they believe what they believe, and most would fit in your description.

The shrew clients are desperate to talk to a shrew. They are generally very anxious due to what is going on and feel horribly isolated. They need a lot of support. The sheep-types are generally quite depressed, and can’t see any reason why.

Carter did begin with union-busting, but fascism really began its damage from the 80’s on. Today, for example, I was surrounded by three otherwise intelligent people (or so I thought) laughing at Robert Kennedy, Jr.’s voice. Imagine being so indoctrinated by PR that you cannot get beyond the presentation of a very important message that they are delivering. Stephen Hawking would never stand a chance. If the egoism of the global fascists could be subsided by self-reflection, the US could have another Kennedy as president, in repentance of the deliberate murder of its several family members. The US could pick up the pieces of yet another nation smashed to pieces by capitalist degenerates and begin again, ending the nightmarish detour… Read more »

“How can you be sure you[conspiracy theorist] are right and we are wrong?” “We want to actually understand why things are like they are.” <=Theory comes from hypothesis that cannot be, or have not yet been, proven wrong. Hypotheses are developed from knowledge, imagination and the occurrence of events or discovery of circumstance which begs for an explanation. Attempts to understand how the corruption came about, breeds a myriad of hypothesis designed to explain the corruption. hypothesis are assembled and condensed into theories. Corruption is almost always the result of planning and execution of a plan (a conspiracy) by one or more conspirators. Even if the corruption was planned by but one person, even if that person is the sole benefactor of the corruption, it generally takes more than one (co conspirator) to help that person execute his or her corruption.

Sheep aren’t born, they’re employed. Having a job, a family and a mortgage is like having your ankles chained together. There’s nowhere to run.

I just spent a few hours studying the American civil war. As many as 750K people died because Abraham Lincoln was a gangster who wanted to protect his revenue stream. The average citizen was cannon fodder and he knew there was no way his opinions would save his life. If you have roots you can’t run.

I think mortgage comes for the French for “death grip”… or at least it should.

The search for the illusion of security in the form of a “full-time job” (being employed, aka wage slavery), two kids and a spouse leads directly to loss of freedom. This is why the church insists on procreation. If you have kids, you are usually not in a position not to be a sheep unless you’re really rich…

In a spirit of unsheepness I formed my own opinion and chose my own words. I was influenced by the following  Samuel Johnson on the American founding fathers. “Sir, they are a race of convicts, and ought to be thankful for anything we allow them short of hanging.” The Founding Scam in (2004) Counterpunch describes a very mafia-like insider trading currency scam involving war issued ‘continentals’.. Lincoln ‘killed’ up to 750K people for his own political advantage (the tariff) . That’s gangsterism. The denouement of arguably  the most celebrated  American novel ‘The Great Gatsby’ is that the glittering socialite Gatsby was a gangster. That obviously struck a chord with Americans. The Kennedys had strong Cosa Nostra connections. JFK was shot in the street like a mafia punk. Joe Biden is an out and out crook. ‘If the Nuremberg laws were applied, then every post-war American president would have been hanged’.… Read more »

The sheep vs. shrew dichotomy is basically another angle to view the collectivist vs. individualist approach to life. Unlike the essentially economic collectivism in the past, today’s collectivism is an extreme protectionist ideology, under which people a) seek and expect protection from the “establishment” against just about anything and b) force everybody else to conform to patterns imposed by the establishment to that effect. Just like economic collectivism, which was a road to hell because it killed competition, entrepreneurship, curiosity, will to do anything, the present protectionist collectivism is, or rather will be, a road to hell because it will further atrophy and eliminate whatever devices people have left and will make them completely dependent on the establishment. Eventually, the whole thing will collapse. “Shrews” are obviously aware of this and refuse to outsource their well-being to the establishment – the collective for all sorts of reasons, the principal one… Read more »

As many people commenting here on Off-G are aware, no matter how many incontrovertible facts and truths we provide to the ‘sheep’/’normies’, they will not ‘wake up’. People won’t be able to ‘wake up’ until they, deep down, are ready to ‘wake up’. Yes, what’s been taking place worldwide since early 2020 is most definitely ‘lies from start to finish’, and yes, you’re also right when you say ‘tragically, it’s far from finished’. And that statement of fact (what I said in the last sentence of the first paragraph of this post) applies to ALL ‘controversial’ subjects… so, for eg, people will not ‘wake up’ and accept the in fact PROVEN survival of physical body death truth UNTIL they, deep down inside, are ready to wake up and accept its very real truth.

Let me interject something here, because here is where your appearance of arrogance comes in. You always equate those unawake with being somehow addicted to MSM propaganda and glued to their TVs.

Now that may be the case with your family members. But certainly is not the case with everyone who is “unawake.”

Since I fit your definition of being unawake, it should be quite apparent that I am not addicted to MSM propaganda; nor am I glued to my TV.

I would also venture to say that many other commenters in this forum fit your definition of “unawake.” And clearly they are nothing like your family members.

There is always the potential to be perceived as arrogant when one generalizes – even though it’s very difficult not to.

Because there is nothing subtle about any of it. One day, one finally notices the glaringly obvious, and wonders why it took so long. That’s why it’s called ‘waking up’. A cursory glance in the direction of virology, ‘climate change’, Building 7, and so on and so forth, settles it. That’s all it takes. A ten-year-old child can drive a tricycle through any of these narratives . . . and so, we are in the arena of the unwell. And THAT is the ‘terror of the situation’ (to quote Gurdjieff). Take 911, for example. The horror was not on account of realising that governments routinely lie, murder their own people, etc. – or even that reality per se, so far as geopolitics go, is not what it seems – it’s none of that!

The narrative is not necessarily the thing itself.

For instance, we must all die eventually. Just because the narrative acknowledges this and then twists and turns it into something those behind the narrative can make a profit on – such as transhumanism – doesn’t mean it’s a lie that we’ll one day die.

Same with other things encased in a narrative. Sometimes there really is a kernel of truth lurking somewhere in the narrative.

Sometimes we critically thinking shrews get a little carried away with our own findings to the point of becoming as concrete bound and hubristic as the purveyors of narratives.

It’s admirable to stand one’s ground. But is preserving one’s intellectual integrity always worth torpedoing long standing relationships?

Spirit/energy does what’s termed vibrate at different frequencies; energy which vibrates at a [relatively] slow frequency creates what we on Earth term ‘physical matter’; and energy which vibrates at a very rapid frequency creates non-physical ‘spirit’; ie, the non-physical Spirit dimension/Spirit world/Spirit realm, and our oh so very real immortal spirit body: which is the real us, and is what literally animates our physical body, whilst we’re here on Earth, in our eternal soul’s many, many lifetimes.

Neither does it necessarily mean that its 100% factually incorrect either, or based entirely on hallucination. And how do we arrive at the notion that it IS simply based on hallucinations and not something else – so-called “paranormal experiences” for example?

How do you know that spirit, energy, life, consciousness and matter are not just so many different aspects of the same thing? The Ancients used to call it THAT which resolves all the vibrating shit that you referred to, and much more.

I’m sorry but that is not how it “really” is. The language of a spirit separate from the body is tired and shown to be inadequate by many teachers/philosophers.

Nobody survives death in a manner that can confirm anything about it convincingly (if anything individual survives at all), so it is an unknowable unknown, which is very difficult for a busy mind to come to terms with.. Most people’s metaphysics are hopelessly warped by over 1000 years of Abrahamic religion’s misdirection involving the denigration of material reality and the body as evil or lesser, unwanted, corrupt. The plan for eternal slavery is to set people up for failure and spiritual lobotomy by removing the knowledge that death and resurrection can and should be experienced while still alive.

What I’ve stated re. the fact of survival of ‘death’ are NOT merely ‘ideas’ re. survival (as you wrongly claimed). They truly are 100% proven facts. As you will one day discover.

Yes, the eternal, immortal soul/spirit body is the real us, and survives the death of our physical body ‘coat’. We return to the very real Spirit dimension of this multi-dimensional cosmos (our actual place of origin). However, we do NOT get ‘judged’ by our ‘Maker’. The Supreme Creative Mind which created the multi-dimensional cosmos and all life is NOT a person; it’s an energy. And when we each return to the Spirit realms (after each of our eternal soul’s many, many lifetimes…), we do NOT “stand in front of a person called ‘god’ and get judged”. That’s what ‘christians’ wrongly think. What does take place, after we return to the Spirit world (the Afterlife), is that we each undergo what’s termed a ‘Life Review’. We judge ourselves, no-one else ‘judges’ us. In the Life Review, we are accompanied by our personal Spirit Guide (we all have at least one [sometimes… Read more »

Of all the words one could use to describe me, gullible is not one of them. My search for truth led me to Jesus, it doesn’t matter what you say because I know – and the reason is do is because God revealed himself to me. This has happened to countless others and we are not all ‘gullible masses’ (although many Christians fall into this category).
You on the other hand have fallen for new age nonsense. You’ll be judged when your meat suit expires and there will be a consequence. God is kind, that’s why He built in a way to avoid eternal death which is to repent of all your wrongdoings and submit to Him. I would wish you luck but a true Christian believes in no such thing.

In European society, the middle class earns money by working for corporations and governments. A sheep mindset works best for this class.

I agree that we are not reduced to the physical body. IMO we can observe the action of the Spirit when we observe the historical development of a slight skin wound or a mild flu: we can argue about the evolution of the wound; we can invent concepts to refer to what we observe; we can build theories and a whole science to account for our observations; or we can just ignore the whole thing. However we ratiocinate about it does not in the least affect its evolution, which slowly but surely advances on its secret path, as if it has a life of its own. It is beyond cognition and beyond our usual consciousness and perceptions because it existed before them. The Spirit is what animates everything; and its unfolding is the purpose of History.

By the time the Weltgeist is done, there will not be any inhabitable region of the world left. BTW the phenomenological spirit is not a person, but the “spirit of the species” as Absolute Idealism [AI] — from whence Marx gets the concept of “species-being” or “species-essence” (“life begetting life”) which is our ethology (species-character.). Hence, the actually existent materialistic species-soul is the most rapacious, voracious, power-hungry, nihilistic antilife force ever unleashed on earth in ~4Bny.

I say let everything exhausts itself because it must. Whether we as a species survive is of the least concern to the Spirit because nothing dies really, it just transforms.

I understand that orderly situation humanity was in weren’t so orderly: before the Neolithic, although there was no exchange-value (no lucrative property) humans were scattered all over the globe into mutually-ignoring or mutually-fighting groups. The role exchange-value is historically fulfilling is to get humans to live in one “community of conscious life”; that’s what Capitalism is for, and that’s what this technology is, a medium to get together.

If the path to get there should be full of suffering then let it be, birth is always painful.

They have absorbed the media mantra and have been conditioned to automatically respond to stimuli branded as offensive. They have even been supplied with a script if expansion is needed. Or at least that’s the way most of them responded at the height of the show.

Official history of the EU$A starts in 1939 when our rabid attack dog, Hitler, turned around and bit the hand that fed him — attacked us instead of attacking the USSR.

Please tell me: how did you get to this conclusion?

The sheep/shrew attitude to knowledge is all in the answer. If they answer “I heard It in the news” or “this/that authorithy says that” or “statistics say that” or “come on! Everyone knows it’s true!” , I know which cathegory this person belongs to.

I actually do not mind talking to a person who buys into the official narrative as long as their conclusions are based on an active and personal discovery journey. But that hardly ever happens (It has actually happened once or twice).

Thousands of years of selective breeding have led to the characteristic behavior of the modern sheep.
