Like many of you, I've lately found myself immersed in theories of global conspiracy ranging from the frighteningly plausible to the outright absurd.
At the same time, I've been deeply exploring the subjects of consciousness and the nature of reality. It's been an interesting parallel and I
don't doubt that they're related.
My biggest issue with a global conspiracy is how widely available the information is. Google – a multi-billion dollar corporation and owner of
YouTube – hosts a seemingly endless archive of "truth" videos and documentaries. These are also the most watched videos online. Recently, I
found Alex Jones' documentary
End Game for rent at a massive franchise video store (Rogers Video, for any other Canadians reading this), which
in itself is a subsidiary of another huge multi-billion dollar corporation. If the Illuminati are really as powerful as these videos claim, why have
they made it so easy for us to see into their "secret" plans?
I've thought of several possibilities, the last of which being what I'm now most adhering to:
1. They don't care. They know they'll succeed and there's nothing we can do to stop them, so why waste resources on covering it up?
2. The Internet has grown beyond their control. These videos keep popping up and to shut them down would only confirm that they're true.
Hence the expedition of their plans.
3. The collective mind is a powerful tool. They put out the paranoia, we figure out how they could do it, and then they do it.
4. They are actively spreading disinformation to distract us from a greater truth.
5. They're revealing their plans so that we begin to believe it could actually happen, thereby unconsciously allowing it to (slavery of the
mind before body).
6. Mass paranoid delusion.
Why have I begun to believe the latter? Search any of your typical conspiracy keywords into Google (NWO, Illuminati, 9/11, 2012, etc.) and you'll
get countless links to conspiracy theories. But try searching for anything debunking these theories and the results are practically nil. It's not
that they're not out there, they're just much harder to find. If these evil plans depend on secrecy, then how could this be? Even if the Internet
is outside their realm of control (which, by all the evidence presented, should be highly unlikely), surely they'd have at least started some sort of
counter movement by now. And if they have, it's failing miserably, so how could they possibly hope to enslave the entire world population?
Now I'm not saying they're not, just that we're allowing it to happen. And not just allowing it, but causing it too. Let me explain:
The universe is an infinite field of information, and our lives are just us playing connect-the-dots to make sense of it all. What we believe to be
happening and what's actually happening outside our realm of perception has continuously proven to be completely different. But this is all common
knowledge, right? Now a trait of a paranoid schizophrenic is the amazing ability to connect a variety of seemingly unrelated information to form a
complex, highly distorted view of reality (at least, from the general perspective), which is totally real to them but absurd to everyone else. Now if
you look at history, you'll see that civilization follows many of the same psychological patterns as the human mind. We all affect each other's
reality, so one person or group's sense of what's "real" impacts the rest until a new paradigm makes better sense of it. It's constantly
changing, and so the only thing we can know for sure is that we know nothing.
It appears to me that society today has gotten itself into a state of delusion much like a paranoid schizophrenic. Who knows where it started (maybe
the Illuminati?), but if we don't realize that we're all partaking in it, it will become reality.
