On the Duty of Civil Disobedience

Obedience is the connective tissue of oppression.

In other words, any form of control on a collective level can only be carried out through obedience. A dictator can’t arrest or kill an entire population himself; he needs mindless minions to do the dirty work. This principle applies across all forms and degrees of systematic control, even the most subtle.

The desires of any wannabe controller can only come to fruition through the compliance of others. And that’s been the case throughout recorded history (his-story). The desire for control becomes a virus, driven by fear and infecting more and more people, until there are enough drones to oppress an entire population.

This phenomenon isn’t just the case with large-scale atrocities; it applies to anything which is an impediment to freedom or love; be it a person, group, system or idea.

Everything is held up by belief. Laws are merely words written on paper, only legitimized by collective acquiescence. Laws need people to enforce them. And if laws are unjust (as most are), those who carry them out must unquestioningly submit to authority and go against their own inner knowing.

The only way control or oppression works on any scale is through compliance. Too many people do the work of ‘the man’ for ‘the man.’ That’s the problem. The solution lies in civil disobedience.

Freedom Cannot Be Granted

Asking for freedom is oxy-moronic. If you have to ask for freedom, you’re already a slave.

How is freedom taken? The simple decision to be the master of your own body and mind.

It really is as simple as that, though difficult to apply. It’s easy to blame problems on others, it’s easy to neglect our health and think “the doctor can fix me.” We’ve been conditioned to externalize our power since childhood. We’ve been taught to not trust ourselves. We’ve been taught to submit to authority without question.

This is a recipe for a control system to stealthily and slowly permeate society (the totalitarian tiptoe).

When you attain a degree of self-mastery, you do not acquiesce to the will of destructive people or disharmonious institutions. Which leads to the next point…

Fear-Based Programming

The covert means by which oppression takes over is through fear-based programming.

If you have people in fear, you can easily control them. Fear activates the part of the brain known as the amygdala (the center for emotional behavior/motivation) and inhibits neocortex function (our “thinking brain”). This means that rationality and intellect are thrown out the window, the perfect storm for brainwashing. There’s even a term for this fear response; amygdala hijack.

The media is one big amygdala hijack, perpetually programming the population with which boogeyman to fear next. This is a massive ritual of fear-based programming that insidiously shifts entire populations into thinking and acting irrationally out of fear. Television is called programming for a reason.

Remember the whole weapons of mass destruction fiasco with Iraq in 2003? US military action in Iraq and massive destabilization of the middle east (which continues to this day) was predicated on that lie. There were no weapons of mass destruction. But lingering fear from 9/11 resulted in a string of irrational behavior and many people blindly believing the hype.

The holocaust took place because German soldiers were thoroughly conditioned to carry out orders. They didn’t carry out orders because they liked doing it, but because they feared the wrath of their higher ranking officers, or even because they were conditioned to fear jewish people. These abominations only occur when fear is the driving force.

Fear is hard to pin down. It’s slippery, and ultimately illusory (False Evidence Appearing Real). Yet it’s the undercurrent of all “negative” emotions. Fear is what stops us from saying no to evil. Fear might actually distort our perceptions to support evil. That’s why it’s so dangerous.

When you cultivate self-mastery, you’re able to break the cycle. The spread of fear stops before you and is transmuted by the omnipotent force of unyielding love.

Love Over Fear

Strive to choose love over fear in every situation. You can never go wrong if you act from a place of compassion. This is the fulcrum of change, and it starts within you.

The change we all yearn to see in the world will only happen in the wake of a fundamental change in consciousness. Everything we see in this world starts in the realms of imagination before coming into manifestation.

The change begins within and ripples outward. Embodying the change is the first step, the prerequisite. Without inner transformation, humanity will be stuck on the same merry-go-round of madness.

When a critical mass of people create positive inner changes, it will open up doors we never could’ve imagined before and will provide possibilities far beyond our current limited perspective. Solutions will spontaneously emerge.

Go within and stop the momentum of fear. Learn to listen to and trust your intuition. Have the courage to follow your heart instead of cowardly bowing to fear.

Compliance with destruction, hatred, oppression, violence and fear is cowardice, while noncompliance is courageous. In the depths of your being, in your heart of hearts, you know what is right.

Choose love over fear.

Have the courage of heart and freedom of mind to disobey oppressive forces.

Be the change.

      Wrong again einstein.

      “You can never go wrong if you act from a place of compassion.”

      Things can go very wrong if you always act from a place of compassion.

      “Compliance with destruction, hatred, oppression, violence and fear is cowardice, while noncompliance is courageous.”

      There is a great deal in this world that deserves destruction. There are people in this world where the word hatred is nowhere near strong enough. Even the bible talks about a contempt for all eternity. It could be argued that those opposing violence are the cowards and the very ones allowing evil to ceaslessly fester century upon century, because rather than solving the issue they parrot dreams of universal brotherhood when our enemies use their prattle to further their goals of universal nightmare. Maybe peacemakers live in fear of having to unleash violence within themselves and the inherent danger that lies there rather than any great embrace of some majestic found truth. Maybe non-compliance with the, got us nowhere, blessed peacemakers is more courageous?

      Love conquers all is a rather simplistic statement that can be made to mean all things to all men.

      As someone who is hoping Trump and crew are very much taking out the pedophile satan worshipping dregs of creation I am certainly all in favour of wiping out this race from the face of the earth and beyond if possible, and pretending I am somehow seperate to their actions is not honest. If I thought there were enough corageous men and women to march on London tomorrow and hang these people from the nearest tree I am all for it.

      let’s pretend not to notice that those who are pushing and developing the vax and GLOBAL ID chip card, are the same as who pushed us into endless wars in the M.E. using their FF 911 as justification.
      The self-declared Chosen.
      same bankers who got the TRILLION $ bailout in 2008
      same clique who back porn industry, LGBT gay rights, sex revolution
      same Barbara Specter swine who push mass immigration
      same ones who took prayer from the schools and imposed ABORTION
      all sponsored by the SAME cabal. what they did in Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Yemen and Palestine will come home…
