What conspiracy theorists believe

Conspiracy theorists believe, in general, in the existence of a shadow government or deep state that pulls strings behind the scenes but remains unseen by the common man.

Instead, these power elites are seen as controlling the talking points and direction of society by control of the mass media, social institutions and governments.

Are we entities created by space-time?

We are either creations of space-time; creators of space-time; or just visitors journeying through space-time.

If we are creations of space-time, as science assumes, we live and die within space-time. For how could we exist outside of space-time if we are created and supported by it?

If we are the creators of space-time, then we seemingly cannot be hurt by anything that seems to happen in space-time. Damage done or things achieved my be seen to be illusions when we are no longer are focused on space-time. This is the view of Vedanta.

If we are primarily non-physical beings journeying through a realm we did not create (in this case space-time), though may in some way be co-creating, we cannot presumably be destroyed by it either as our essence must exist separately from the physical form it temporarily inhabits.

Science is politically driven, like everything else

Money controls everything, including science. Only ignorant people see it as the holy grail of truth telling. Instead, it is set up to serve vested interests. Science is politically controlled, like all major enterprises, and its direction and the messages it sends out carefully managed.

To make sense out of science we need to understand who funds it and for what purpose.  We also need to understand the agenda of the mouthpiece of science- the mainstream media.  Without the two working together the messages of science would not reach a wide audience.

To control the messages that people receive from "science" there needs to be control of the direction of scientific research and control of the scope and intent of the mainstream media.

This is only possible by collusion among those who control the direction of science funding through foundations and governments, and those who have control of the mainstream media.

Ideas that suit vested interests to promote widely among the community are the areas of research that are encouraged  and the subjects the mainstream media- the lapdogs of the establishment- coninutally talks about.

This control of "talking points", as politicians call them, is the main goal of those behind the current system, so that their interests are promoted by doing so.

My environmental concerns

From an environmental perspective I have no concern with the world ending, or the human race ending. I don't see either of these things happening. Instead, what I am concerned about is the diminution of the quality of life on earth. That is, a decline in the actual experience of being alive on this planet.

This could be due to less pleasant or healthy conditions or less availability of goods and services (including recreational services provided by natural resources). These things could be caused by pollution of the air, water or sea or by the removal or degradation of natural areas.

The purpose of civilisation

The purpose of civilization is to create more and more enhanced lifestyles for its citizens.

And by "enhanced" I mean MORE ALIVE, MORE INVIGORATED, MORE FREE, MORE CHALLENGING, MORE POSSIBILITIES, MORE BEAUTY etc.

Politicians

The question isn't which party they belong to, but instead, who owns them?

The President of the United States and family.

Justice is either automatic or not at all

Many people believe justice is only dealt out at the end of our life by a God who observes and judges our every deed.

Others place their faith in justice in man. They hope or work for changes in social systems to bring about a fairer, more just society.

A third group see all events as just because they see them as the outworking of the Law of Attraction- a metaphysical law that is always in operation.

This Law was taught by Jesus and is being taught by many "new age" gurus though their is disagreement over exactly how it operates.

The law of attraction concept is based on the idea that what we give out, in terms of thought and action returns to us in terms of our experience. This concept or belief sees the outside world as a mirror to our inside world of thoughts and feelings.

The Law of Attraction teaches that justice is automatic and built in to our realities framework. There is no need to wait for a future life to receive justice or to wait for society to change its lumbering laws to achieve it.

The Law of Attraction is seen as one of God's unchangeable laws that keeps the universe operating in a fair, balanced and predictable way.

The existence of The Law of Attraction doesn't negate the need to create fairer social and economic systems, but it does mean that once you understand how it operates you wont be suprised by what life brings you as you will be able to trace its cause to your previous thoughts, feelings and actions.

High frequency sound

When I said the world was being held together by high frequency sounds, I was talking about the insects, primarily, producing their high frequency tones, also the wind in the trees, crashing waves on beaches and falling water also produce lovely tones that massage the ears and brains and help restore calm and comfort.

Matthew Ward: The DNC hacks

Message 1:

January 8, 2017

We have been asked our source of information that Russian President Vladimir Putin is justified in denying his country’s involvement in the hacking of Democratic National Committee emails and those on a personal computer, which is contrary to the United States intelligence agencies’ conclusion that the Kremlin is responsible. 

Some members of our universal family living among you are in major intelligence agencies around the globe—it was the ones in US agencies who told us they hacked and released the emails—and other members have expertise in tracking hackers’ “footprints.” Our sources know that Illuminati in those various agencies report false information to breed conflict. 

The reports given to US President Barack Obama put the blame on Russia, which led to more sanctions against that country; this was in line with the Illuminati’s penchant for retaliation—they misled Obama and created more economic problems for Putin because both leaders refused to join forces with them. 

FBI Director James Comey knows who the hackers are, why they released the emails and the criminal evidence they contain; he didn’t disclose that information due to threatening pressure from the Illuminati faction behind Hillary Clinton.

Message 2:

Nov.11, 2016

Clinton supporters in the Democratic National Committee maneuvered to Mrs. Clinton the votes in critical primaries that actually were won by Bernie Sanders; thus, it was she instead of the voters’ choice who became the Democratic party nominee.

As for the FBI’s investigation into Mrs. Clinton’s hacked emails, Director James Comey bowed to pressure from Bill Clinton and other Illuminati to conclude that national security had not been compromised and using a personal server is not an indictable offense. The finger was pointed at Russia for the hacking incident.

Vladimir Putin was justified in claiming that was not Russia’s doing. Individuals in the FBI and other intelligence agencies who know the Clinton's criminal history released the emails—they felt the public had a right to know the truth about Mrs. Clinton. But Mr. Comey had kept under wraps what the emails showed: She used her Secretary of State position to garner donations to the Clinton Foundation and issue favors in return and some Foundation funds benefited terrorists.

When those individuals later discovered that Anthony Weiner’s computer contained evidence of the Clinton's involvement in a pedophile ring, they insisted that Mr. Comey reopen the investigation. Once again he gave into Clinton camp pressure and stated that none of the emails pertained to Mrs. Clinton.

Sainthood and the Catholic Church

The Roman Catholic Church is very good at self-promotion. Their regular announcing of "saints" is part of their efforts to inject themselves into the consciousness of the ordinary man and woman and make themselves seem important as "God's judges" on earth.

Such pronouncements also shows the immense hubris and lack of self-awareness this organization possesses.

The idea that such a greedy and controlling political enterprise as the Roman Catholic Church is in a position to recognize "saints", and promote them to being "above" the ordinary human and thereby closer to God, beggars belief, and is quite laughable when looked at unemotionally!

Still, the corrupt media is happy to repeat their pronouncements, as if they mean anything, and the charade of "saints" continues on!

“Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.” Matthew 18

The key to political power

The key to political power is owning the global thought space and injecting your preferred narrative into it.  This is why gaining control of the messages coming out of the mass media and respected institutions is so important to those seeking power over mankind.

Thankfully, the internet, a somewhat democratic medium, has thrown a spanner in their works by allowing stories that don't suit the power elite's agenda to circulate widely.

However, danger lies in the concentration of power on the internet, particularly by Google and Facebook, which provides the opportunity to direct inquiry into approved channels and to censor material deemed "offensive".

This is what the mainstream media has been doing all along and if the internet was to go down that path then we'd once again be limited to the views and opinions our would-be "masters" would prefer we held, rather than being exposed to a wide variety of opinions that don't necessarily suit the power elite's agenda for us to be exposed to and to hold.

The "emergence" of consciousness

The “emergence” of consciousness from the brain/body is (presumably) not magic, it just hasn’t been explained yet!

That’s assuming consciousness actually emerges from the brain.  We don’t really know.  It's certainly associated with brains, but whether brains are it's cause is anyone's guess!  After all, consciousness cannot be seen, it can only be experienced!  So maybe a tree or a rock is conscious.  How would we know?  It's not as if they can communicate the fact to us. At least not in a way commonly recognised!

Similarly, we are yet to explain how the universe "emerged" from nothingness, or God, or whatever word which we wish to give to that which apparently "caused" it.

Brain chemicals and emotions

"Does the body rule the mind, or does the mind rule the body?  I dunno..." Morrissey

Many people will say that changes in body and particularly brain chemistry are the cause of our emotions (and every other experience a human can have).  But is this full story?

The main evidence for chemistry being the originator of emotions is that if we alter brain chemistry- by taking MDMA (ecstasy), for example, we feel good and full of love.  Therefore this suggests the feeling of love is purely chemical based.

But is this whole story?

If we watch a movie that makes a sad, is it brain chemicals making us sad or is it our interpretation of the movie that made us sad?

People will say: our interpretation of the movie is a purely biochemical event happening in the brain that leads to additional biochemical events which result in us feeling sad.

This seems fair, but where in the brain ca we say the interpretation occurred? Can we be sure such interpretation doesn't happen in a non-physical mind which is simultaneously reflected in changes in chemistry and electrical signals in the body?  We cannot.

Clearly, chemical changes in the body can affect subjective awareness but so does subjective awareness affect bodily biochemistry.  Causation seems to flow both ways.  I understand many people in the modern age enamoured with physicalism like to view everything as flowing from the physical but do we really know this is true?

I would suggest that generally it is the "non-physical" mind that is the driver of emotions and that more rarely the introduction of chemicals or strong electromagnetic fields that are the causative factor.
