Art, investigation, imagination, power

By Jon Rappoport

These are notes that were written in preparation for my first collection, The Matrix Revealed:

“All deep investigations eventually reach a point where the issue is mind control: why is the mind acting as it does? You’re no longer only dealing with external facts. You’re looking at the mind’s mechanisms of acceptance and rejection, at yes and no. You’re looking at patterns whose purpose is to express inevitability.”

“Consciousness isn’t attachment to an idea. It isn’t confirming, over and over again, what you already believe. It isn’t borrowing an idea. Consciousness starts with you knowing you’re reading these words right now. Your brain doesn’t know that. Your brain doesn’t know anything. You do.”

“For an artist, even imagining what he is going to create next—imagining just a glimpse of it—is enough to propel him into a new state, is enough to rearrange the output of his endocrine system, is enough to inject energy into his organs and his cells.”

“The Matrix depends on a person believing his state of consciousness is a given. Like a rose found in a garden. Like a star appearing in the sky. Like a garbage can falling over in an alley. Spiritual systems, without knowing it, speak about replacing one given state of mind with a higher given state of mind. That’s a losing proposition. Givens aren’t the answer. Suppose a person walks into a store that sells coats. Suppose he looks at every coat on every rack and he decides he wants one that isn’t there, isn’t a given? Suppose, instead of the store, he explores the whole universe and decides that what he wants isn’t there?”

“Actual information is always an enemy of entrenched power. That’s why, when you have it, you need to be relentless with it. You earn no cosmic points by being nice. Delivering the truth without compromise helps create peace of mind.”

“Magic is consciousness creating more of itself.”

“Magic is knowing beyond the five senses without becoming unbalanced by that knowing.”

“Magic is intuition that turns out to be right. It isn’t making up a story afterwards about being right.”

“The Matrix is the embrace between a reality someone else invented and the mind’s acceptance of it. The Matrix is the lock-and-key fit.”

“The Matrix is subconsciously hypnotic, as if the embrace were love and comfort. It isn’t.”

“Consciously inventing dreams that couldn’t occur in the world starts to tear apart the Matrix.”

“All the corrupt worldly power taken together produces not a drop of determining influence on imagination.”

“Having the creative power to make and unmake realities has nothing to do with being a god. A whole host of myths have been launched with polarities and dichotomies, in order to limit what a person believes he can and should do with his mind.”
