INTRODUCTION
Freedom, man. That’s what it’s all about. You’ve got to groove on freedom like the good book says. Welcome.
You are listening to What on Earth is Happening. This show will discuss the topics of human consciousness, mind control, natural law, the occult, and all issues that affect the freedom of the people of Earth.
What on Earth is Happening will endeavor to shine light upon the darkness of our world, and to offer empowering solutions to the problems we face as humanity approaches its critical moment of choice. And now, here is your host, Mark Passio.
Hello, everyone. You are listening to What on Earth is Happening. Today is Tuesday, June 8, 2010. My website is whatonearthishappening.com. I’m your host, Mark Passio. The network website is revolutionbroadcasting.com. And the call-in number for this show, if anyone wants to call in at any time, there are no taboo topics here. You can talk about whatever you like.
The call-in number is 724-444-7444. Once again, the call-in number, 724-444-7444. When you call in, you have to give the call ID number. The call ID number for this show is 83515. That’s 83515. All right. So what I usually do to begin the show is start with a couple of event announcements for events that are coming up in the Philadelphia area.
So I have two event announcements for this evening. The first, the great group in this area known as Truth, Freedom, Prosperity is hosting a free documentary screening and discussion of the documentary Generation RX.
A great film
This is going to be Monday night, June 21st at 7 o’clock p.m. chart, at the Ethical Society Building. That’s at 1906 South Rittenhouse Square in Philadelphia. For more information, check out their website, www.truthfreedomprosperity.org.
Okay, and the second announcement, a big conference event coming up about a month from now in Philadelphia, the Nikola Tesla Energy Independence Celebrations. And if you don’t know who Nikola Tesla was, you’re going to hear about him a lot on this show, and I’m going to keep telling you about him because he had the answer to many of our problems when it comes to energy generation and distribution and things that are going on in the world right now, like this Gulf oil disaster in the Gulf of Mexico, need not have ever occurred had we listened to the wisdom of someone like Tesla, who was a genius that was far ahead of his time.
But I believe that his theories and visions for the future will eventually be vindicated. And one of the groups that’s working toward that aim is the Tesla Science Foundation of Philadelphia. So They’re hosting this event, the Nikola Tesla Energy Independence Celebrations 2010 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on July 9th, 10th, and 11th.
The Tesla Science Foundation brings together scientists, inventors, and enthusiasts for a three-day conference highlighting the need for a new energy paradigm.
This July in Philadelphia, the Tesla Science Foundation will be hosting a three-day conference and celebration to commemorate Nikola Tesla’s legacy and world vision. Tesla was a brilliant inventor who lived during the turn of the 20th century. His inventions resulted in the implementation of alternating current, radio, the AC motor, wireless technology, and many other influential inventions that we now take for granted in the modern age.
Tesla’s vision to bring clean, free energy to the world through advanced wireless technologies was blocked by the financial and corporate interests of his time. Through this event, the Tesla Science Foundation will bring together like-minded scientists, inventors, and enthusiasts who share the common goal of bringing Tesla’s advanced energy technologies to fruition for the betterment of humanity.
Here’s the event scheduled for the conference. On July 9th, that’s Friday night, July 9th, 8 p.m. to 2 a.m., the Tesla Birthday Bash at Independence Visitor Center, right there on the Visitor Center lawn at 6th and Market Streets. This event is free to attend.
July 10th, that’s a Saturday, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., Tesla Fest. Also at Independence Visitor Center, 6th and Market Streets on the lawn. This will feature exhibits, vendors, information, art, and music. This event is also free to attend. The same day, for people who are in search of a little bit more information about Tesla and his technologies, there will be free presentations and lectures at the Free Library of Philadelphia, 1901 Vine Street.
July 10th, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., featured speakers, Russell Anderson, Michael Kelly, Tatiana Miletic, Michael Treat, Mano Davina, Nicole Craner, and Brian Yetzer. Again, that’s free to attend. Three of the five events for this conference are completely free.
Saturday, July 10th, 6 p.m. to 11 p.m., a reception, dinner, and concert at the Arch Street Meeting House, 320 Arch Street in Philadelphia. This will feature the classical ensemble known as the Divine Hand Ensemble. Check out their website at divinehand.net. Pricing for this event is only $20 for both the dinner and concert. For each one individually, only $12. Very, very reasonably priced.
Finally, the crux of the conference, the scientific portion of the event, a scientific conference on July 10th and 11th, Saturday and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Two Liberty Place on the 32nd floor. Two Liberty Place is at 1601 Chestnut Street in Philadelphia.
This will feature at least 10 scientifically oriented presentations. A registration fee is required. It’s $110. You can register at the Tesla Science Foundation’s website. And for emerging details, go up to their website, and you can see all the details of the conference there at www.teslasciencefoundation.org.
You can also stay up to date with all of the events that the Tesla Science Foundation and the Associated Nikola Tesla Club hold, at their meetup group, which is ntesla.meetup.com slash 38. That’s ntesla, n-t-e-s-l-a.meetup.com slash the number 38. Those are the event announcements. And in case anybody didn’t realize, yes, we are broadcasting an hour earlier.
This is the new time slot for the show. Revolution Broadcasting, they wanted to carry the whole show live, so they bumped me up an hour so that the show can be carried fully live on the network every Tuesday evening from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Eastern Time. So that’s why we’re an hour live, and that will be the regular slot for this show from here on out.
So what I’m going to do tonight is kind of I’m going to cover a lot of material. However, I’m going to kind of, in doing so, recap everything that we’ve covered thus far, or generally most things that we have covered thus far on the show and on the archived shows in the podcast feed.
So if you want to hear in detail some of these concepts, you can listen to all the previous shows. They’re all archived as a podcast on my website at whatonearthishappening.com.
But the topic for this evening really is going to close the very abstract and I guess you could say spiritual side of what I do here on the show, which is basically talk about the causal factors that contribute to the present condition of the human species. We talk about our ability to tell truth from falsehood and how this is directly related with issues of human freedom.
This show goes to the root of why we experience what we experience. That’s what this is all about. The show is basically about how we create our experiences through our choices. We are the co-creators of our reality. And we create that reality in a pleasant and uplifting way that enables us to grow, if we live and make our actions come into harmony with natural law principles, as we’ve discussed in previous weeks.
If we ignore those principles of truth, of natural law, then our external manifested experience becomes extremely unpleasant, which is the cycle that we seem to be trapped in right now and have been for a very, very long time.
So, what I do on this show is try to explain how these principles work, try to get down to the root causal factors of why human beings experience suffering, so that they understand how they are creating the experience that they are having. And this is, again, as I’ve said, directly related with issues of human freedom. They cannot be separated.
There is no separation between these causal factors that I talk about and how free we are in our seemingly external world. So, in keeping with this theme and message, today is going to be the last part of part one of this, so to speak. This has all been, everything up through this point has been what I call, what people really need to understand to know what the solution to our problem that we are experiencing, namely that there is encroaching tyranny in our world and how to solve it.
This is the part that really does give us the solution, if we understand it and pay attention to it and go deeply into this material to make it a part of ourselves and to, in doing so, change ourselves. Because the only way we’re going to change the external manifested reality in which we live, is to change what takes place inside of us. When we do that, then the movie on the screen that we ourselves are projecting will change. But until we understand these factors that I’ve talked about on on the show up through this point, don’t expect the movie on the external screen of reality to change one bit.
We need to understand these principles. We need to make them a part of us and we need to change our lives accordingly. If we don’t do that, again, don’t expect much change in the external world. It’s like banging your fists up against a television set or a movie screen because you don’t like what you’re seeing on it.
You need to change the frequency, change the channel that is generating what you are seeing on the screen, in order to actually change what you see. And that’s what we try to do here.
That’s what the ultimate goal of this show is, is to get people to understand those natural law principles. And we are not just going to talk about how they work. We are also going to discuss some of the actual problems, because unless people are aware of why this is important to do, unless they can actually see the patterns that are taking place around them, and understand how we can actually change them by changing our thoughts, our emotions, and our actions, and they also need to understand why.
So we will not ignore the darkness on this show. We will look into it. We will confront it. And we will confront that shadow. That shadow that is part of all of us. And we will work with it to transmute it. So what the topic of tonight’s show is going to be is... I guess it’s a culmination of everything we’ve talked about thus far.
We are going to discuss the qualities of, who and what we really are. We are going to discuss the qualities of the higher aspects of self. And we’re going to compare and contrast these qualities with what I call the illusory self. The self that is the lowercase “s” self. The self that is trapped in illusion. It is trapped in fantasy. It is trapped in identification with the ego and the roles that one plays in life versus understanding the true higher identity of oneself in consciousness.
So, we could title the topic of the show, Higher Self Versus Lower Self.
This ultimately gets down to the question of who are we truly? Who are we truly?
Because as I started off on the very first show, I explained that unless we really understand who we really are, we’re going to remain largely powerless to make any lasting, effective, positive change in our reality.
We have to understand what separates us from the higher aspects of ourselves. And that’s what we’ve been doing in the last few weeks on the show.
We have been discussing the walls that we erect around ourselves and others. I call these the barriers to self-realization, the barriers toward, to becoming a self-actualized being. And we identified them as the illusion of the five senses being rooted in materialism and the material world.
Ego identification, again, attachment to and identification with the roles that one plays in life, the experiences that one has, being seen as identity as opposed to understanding the higher self and realizing that that is what we are we.
We talked about the prison of the left brain the educational or indoctrination system and how it roots us into a physical only linear only way of thinking about the world and seeing the world in a state of separation seeing ourselves in a state of separation from all others.
Finally, last week, we touched on the fourth barrier to self-realization, which was the belief in and identification with institutionalized belief systems. And we discussed a lot of them and how people grasp and cling to belief systems that do not really serve who we really are. They are just put there to serve themselves and to perpetuate themselves in the name of control. And once you get into that pattern, basically you’re contributing to the dynamic of fear, which can only lead to chaos. It can only lead to suffering in the external manifested reality that we share.
So, we covered a lot of different institutionalized belief systems. We talked about believers in the monetary system. We talked about believers in religions. We talked about control-based institutions like the military and the police, and how these are all essentially different forms of mind control.
And we will get into, in the next few weeks, the multifaceted methodologies of mind control and how it works, because I have studied it extensively, and I’ll be having some guests on to talk about it in future weeks.
Again, up through this point, the show has largely been laying down abstract information, conceptual ideas that are important to grasp, to have a firm command of, to understand deeply and integrate them into our worldview, if we’re going to understand how this solution fits in to what we’re going to need to do going forward, if we’re going to solve this global problem of human sickness, that is creating a diseased condition all over this globe.
So this is a critical component of it, understanding the higher self versus the lower self. That is what we’re going to discuss tonight. So I see that we have a caller on the line. Let me just give the call in number one more time if anyone wants to call in. The call-in number is 724-444-7444. That’s 724-444-7444. The call ID number that you have to punch in once you call is 83515. Call ID for this show is 83515.
All right, so we have a caller. Let’s see if this works.
Note: Mark is quoted in highlights
Beyond the Infowar, you are on. What on earth is happening?
What on earth is happening, Mark? That’s what I keep asking myself. How’s it going? This is Bob.
Bob, how are you, man?
I’m doing well, thank you. It’s refreshing to hear you on a little bit earlier. We got the full two hours now on Revolution Broadcasting, from what I understand.
Yes, absolutely. It is great to hear from you, Bob. How are you doing tonight?
I’m doing well. I was just listening to a lecture that David Wilcock, a lot of our listeners know about David’s information, and he did a lecture at Project Camelot. Project Camelot had speakers and whatnot in an event that they put out, and I was listening to him. He’s got a lot of interesting things to say, a lot of quantum physics and time and a lot of complicated things, but I As I’m sure you know, Mark, I’m a consciousness explorer, and that’s a big part of this, is getting in touch with our relationship to the earth and to creation and figuring out, you know, ourselves in order to see how we’re all connected and progress.
Absolutely. I’m familiar with David’s work and I really like it a lot, and I think he does have a lot of great things to say, and I encourage people to check him out. David Wilcock, if you’re not familiar with him, is definitely a person who is trying to expand people’s horizons and their visions of what is possible, and I would definitely encourage checking out his work for sure.
Absolutely. So, you know, I just thought I’d mention that to you, and, you know, midway through the lecture, I realized that your show was on at a new time, so I decided to check in on it and hear how it was going. As always, it’s great to hear your show on the air. What’s going on for tonight’s show? I didn’t catch the beginning.
Well, I’m going to basically go into probably what I would consider the last or the wrap-up of the entire Part 1 of the information that I convey today, about the nature of what’s taking place, which I call the solution. This has all been consciousness-related material, material that is about who we really are, material that is about the forces that are at work in the world and the causal factors that relate to what we’re experiencing.
So this show is going to focus on the qualities of the true self, and how they compare and contrast with the qualities that are expressed through the lower vibrational self or the self that is trapped in ego and illusion.
Yeah, and to harp on the ego, I think that if we continue to support the oil-based, scarcity-based, energy system that we have, we’re going to continue to kill the planet. I know that’s probably heavy on a lot of the minds of your listeners. And I’ve been quoted in saying, you know, let’s look at Tesla technologies.
Because really, Mark, as you understand, I’m sure this is just a symptom to a bigger issue here. And that’s the scarcity-based mind control that is playing on our ego through vanity and materialism.
Absolutely. And a genius who was trying to explain this to us over 100 years ago, they suppressed his work, and they tried to erase his name from history. But the truth can never be destroyed, no matter how hard anyone tries. And Tesla will be vindicated in the end, by one way or another.
I hope it doesn’t have to happen through us destroying our ability to live on this planet, through what we’re doing down in the Gulf, because it is definitely a disturbing situation.
Well, I was just going to say, yeah, I hope he’s not vindicated through our annihilation. You know, it’s no fun to say, I told you so when everything’s gone.
Yep, absolutely. So that’s why we’re working toward, you know, fulfilling his vision of the future, which was one in which humanity worked in conjunction with nature and was connected to its real work of energy. And that’s why I work with the Tesla Science Foundation of Philadelphia.
And that’s why I think everybody should come out to this event in Philadelphia. If you’re anywhere within a driving distance, come on out. It will be a great time. You’ll learn a lot. You’ll meet a lot of good people. And it’s for a cause that we desperately need right now.
You know, Mark, it’s funny that you mentioned that if anyone’s in driving distance, because I’ve recently come across this dilemma myself, both for a Gulf of Mexico cleanup in which I had to drive over nine hours to attend, using oil. You know, I don’t have one of those vegetable oil cars yet.
And there’s another event for social activists such as ourselves in Detroit that I want to attend. And I’m in Florida, by the way, folks. So that could be a problem as far as, you know, having to be dependent on using gas to get there.
Now, I’m going to omit probably going to this forum because of just, you know, a real, you know, I’m just so disheartened by this that I don’t, I can’t justify going to this forum, even though I think at the end of the day, it could accomplish a lot of good things and I can network with people and try to make some change.
But I think we need to facilitate for now, you know, conferencing on the internet and Skype is one great tool for that. Mark and I, we’ve used it in the past and all of our listeners out there, you know, as much as local activism is important and it’s good to be local within your vicinity, there’s only so much you can do there, so it’s also good to connect and have a good network of people in your community and outside of your community that meet. And you don’t have to always go, you know, out of town to have meetings. You can do meetings on the Internet really easily.
That’s why something like Talk Shoe is a great resource too. Anybody can host discussions. They could, you know, host their own show, you know. I mean, put the information out there. The universe is spoken into existence. Connect with other people and speak to them. That’s what it’s all about, getting this information out there. Knowing it is only the first step. Reaching out to other people is the second step.
True, and that’s what the networks like Revolution Broadcasting and these other facilitators to this sort of independent media, truly independent media folks. It’s really a great thing, and it’s exciting to be a part of. And one of the folks that are really, you know, supporting new initiatives in this sort of independent media field are republicmedia.tv.
And at republicmedia.tv, they are going to be featuring What on Earth is Happening. And you’ll notice if you go on the page there that they have a big link of What on Earth is Happening right there on the featured links. So definitely want to stay tuned to that and possibly some, you know, additions to your format, Mark, you know, always enhancing this so that we can, you know, in these serious times continue to up the ante in order to, you know, get as organized and active as we possibly can.
I think it’s a great new media forum that is being built there, and I’m impressed with it, and I’m excited to be a part about it. Definitely. Everyone check out republicmedia.tv for sure.
Okay, Mark, on that note, I’m going to get in the kitchen here and start prepping up some of the veggies. I’m going to keep you on listening to tonight’s talk. So many interesting topics. I’m sure I’ll have questions that we’ll talk about maybe when you get some free time later on in the week.
Bob, always a pleasure to hear from you, man.
All right. Take care, folks.
You too. Bye-bye. All right. That was Bob Tuscan from Truth Be Told Radio. Always great to hear from Bob. All right.
So everybody has the call-in number. If anybody else wants to call in, feel free. And let’s jump right into tonight’s topic, which is, the qualities and aspects of the true self versus the qualities and aspects of the lower self, that is trapped in five sense identification and ego attachment.
So we can look at this as capital “S” self versus lower case “s” self. So the true self, a self-actualized being, someone who has, you know, we’ve heard the term woken up, you know, someone who has really come online and connected with higher levels of consciousness, in the universe.
It is breaking out of the prison of mind. It is breaking out of the vibrational eggshell that is attempting to hold us in lower vibrations of mind and consciousness. And that form of mind control is the only real way that you can keep a person from connecting with spirit, from connecting with, again, higher consciousness.
You can only do that ultimately through mind control. Because the mind is the aspect of self that links us, that links the body to the spirit or the higher self.
So what we’re going to talk about is what are the qualities of this higher self that we aspire to reach to, aspire to merge with, and to know more fully?
Well, the higher self exists in the state known as non-duality. And we’ve talked about what that is, but I’ll go over it again.
Non-duality means that one understands that really there’s no separation between the self lowercase “s” self, and other lowercase “s” selves. And really there’s no difference between anyone on this planet.
They are all consciousness.
They are all an aspect of the whole that is experiencing itself in this construct that we call living on the earth, living on a planet in the cosmos. There really isn’t any separation, at a very high energetic level, a high level in consciousness.
Non-duality also means that this being, this self-actualized being has come to a state of consciousness in which their thoughts, their emotions, and their actions are essentially unified as one. They have made these three qualities of their consciousness, the three expressions of their consciousness, into one. And what this means is that they are not in contradiction with each other.
In other words, the being is such that as they think, so they feel, and so they act. And there’s no contradiction between those three expressions of the being. In other words, they don’t think one thing and know it to be true and yet do something else. Their actions are in harmony with what they think and feel.
So they don’t say, oh well I believe in this and I feel that this is right and I know that this happens to be the case, yet I’m not going to do what I know to be right. I’m not going to live in a way that I know that certain things are going on that that I should or should not be a part of, I’m going to do something that is against those things, because of this reason or that reason or that reason.
So, the person is torn within.
They are in a state known as internal opposition. They are not at one with the thing that it is most important to be at one with, the Self.
So, non-duality, recognizing that there is no separation between oneself and others (specifically others’ Higher Selves). And internal non-duality is the state of bringing one’s thoughts, emotions, and actions into unison, non-contradiction, non-opposition.
The true self expresses itself in a state known as dominion. You could call this self-actualization. You can call this true self-love. You can call it sovereignty. There are many different ways to say the state. And again, it is simply rulership of the kingdom of self.
It is having control over your own thoughts, your own emotions, and your own actions, which are really the only things that you are, in point of fact reality, allowed to be in control of. Because you are the steward of the physical vessel in which you inhabit, in which your higher self inhabits. And therefore, you have control over what you think, what you feel, and how you act in the world.
The goal of which is to bring those three things into unison with each other, and when they are, you can actually then manifest at a much greater level that which you wish to manifest.
So, the true self is in a state of non-duality, and it has attained this condition known as self-ownership, self-rulership, dominion, sovereignty. The true self understands what true freedom is. It doesn’t have an erroneous definition or a limited definition of human freedom. It knows that true freedom is really the absence of self-imposed suffering, of self-inflicted, and self-created suffering, by one’s refusal to acknowledge and live in harmony with natural law principles.
So the true self understands what true freedom is. The true self works toward that goal. So the true self is doing what has been called the true great work, as the alchemists referred to it, as very positive, light occultists have referred to it as.
Now, there’s a dark great look, which we’ll get into in future weeks, but that’s not what we’re talking about here. We’re talking about the goal of actually working toward achieving true freedom, and this is freedom at all levels. Not at one level.
You know, a lot of big New Age movement idea is as long as you’re free in mind, it doesn’t matter what happens to your body. Nonsense. Nonsense. This is to get people to stand down and not actually take proper action in a physical, worldly sense.
True freedom is freedom in body, mind, and spirit. All simultaneously. Because the true self recognizes there is no separation between those things either. See, there’s another new age and it’s a very religious mind control aspect that the body is to be renounced and rejected. We shouldn’t bring our thoughts toward what’s happening in the physical world but only focus on the spiritual.
That’s equally as nonsense as saying the physical world is all that exists and there’s no such thing as spirit. One is a form of left brain imbalance, the worship of materialism and physicality, and the other is a form of right brain imbalance that totally rejects the physical, and would let the body fall into disrepair and physical freedom fall into disrepair, which is partially responsible for the state that we’re in now as species.
So, these two worldviews come from two different kinds of left brain imbalance. True freedom, again, and the understanding of true freedom, is freedom across all those scales of expression. In spirit, spirit’s not going to be bound. It is free. It is freedom, period. So nothing can bind that.
But there is binding that has been accomplished through covert manipulation and mind control on the mind, of many of the people on this planet. And there is also limitations on physical freedom. Of course we see this playing out every single day for anyone who’s paying remote attention.
So, the higher level of self, when we connect with this, we come to an understanding of true freedom, and that is freedom on the physical plane, freedom on the mental plane, and of course connection to spirit, which is freedom, period.
Again, the spiritual aspect of this is not buying the bull. So that’s why they have to work on the mental realm in order to get us to enslave ourselves at the physical level. And when I say they, I mean the occultists who are enacting and wielding these mind control techniques.
And if you haven’t gotten to that level of understanding, to understand that there is an occult aspect to this, an occult meaning hidden knowledge aspect to what is going on. And this is, essentially behaves like a religion, because there are rituals, there are patterns of behavior, all of which we will get into in depth on the show in future weeks.
And if you’re resistant to that, stick around. Keep listening to this show, because I will provide abundance of evidence. And not just through anecdotal evidence and not just through reading about it. Through first-hand experience. Because in the past, I worked in occult orders myself.
And I’ll allude to that and touch upon that in future weeks and explain how some of those ideologies work, and how they’re mind control techniques. And they have mind control techniques. And they’re extremely adept at employing them and using them to get what they want.
We will get into all of that.
So just understand that true freedom, which is the work of the higher self, is to free us at the mental and physical levels, unconditionally, unconditionally, from any self-imposed suffering.
Now, in the body, in the physical reality, there are going to be requirements to have physical expression and experience. So, I don’t talk about just needing food or wanting shelter to live in some level of protection from the elements as suffering. I’m talking about self-inflicted suffering.
Suffering that we bring upon ourselves. Not that we just think of as suffering, because we don’t want certain requirements for living to be present. That is not what I’m talking about, because some people will take it to the extreme, oh, there will be suffering as long as you’re in the physical body.
Okay, you can take it to that extreme if you want, and it’s true to a certain extent. You will experience a certain level of discomfort, hunger, needing sleep, wanting sex, thirst, you know, wanting companionship, etc., loneliness. There’s many different aspects of simply being in a physical body that can bring on certain levels of discomfort or displeasure.
However, we don’t need to experience that as intense suffering if we don’t remain attached to those things, attached to the satiation of those desires. They will come and go. They will rise and fall. Without food, of course, yes, there would be suffering.
However, what I’m talking about here is self-imposed suffering. Refusal to acknowledge natural law, live in harmony with it, living out of harmony with nature, out of harmony with the earth, overstepping the boundaries of what we have the right to do to another being, that is in this experience with us. Breaking natural law, in other words. This is ultimately what creates all forms of self-inflicted suffering, at least at this level of experience that we are currently living in.
So, the true self, non-duality, in a state of non-duality, and understands true freedom and is working toward that goal, is working toward that aim. The true self who is working toward this goal of creating freedom, across all levels of being, is what I’ve described in a former show as a true magician.
This is a being that is influencing, using the science and art of using influence to bring about harmony with the will, capital “W”. We talked about what that was on previous shows. The will is what nature, the mind of nature, the mind of God, if you will. I’m comfortable using that word. Some may be, some may not be, but there is an underlying intelligent principle, that is attempting to move us along, toward higher levels of expression.
This is what is known as evolution. Evolution in consciousness. And this mind, if you will, this higher mind has a will, and its will is to make us better, and to advance us and to help us to grow and learn and mature. And if we go along with the principles that this higher mind has essentially given as a gift, it’s not a set of controls.
Natural law is not a set of controls.
It’s a set of principles to be lived according to as guidelines for evolution to higher levels of consciousness. It’s understanding how nature really works at its fundamental level of mind.
So what the true self does is it practices this art, and we call that alchemy in previous shows. Alchemy is the art of attempting to help others to move into harmony with this higher will. You can never do that work yourself. You can only be an influence for others.
So if you understand how those principles of natural law works and the principles of this higher mind, what they are trying to do for us as a species, you can help. You can align yourself with them, and then you can help others to align themselves with them by showing them the techniques you use, by speaking the truth to them, by putting the word out, putting the good word out there that it doesn’t have to be like this. We don’t need to experience this level of suffering and discomfort. We can change the external manifested reality that we’re experiencing. It is possible.
From where we’re at now, is it easy?
No, I didn’t say it is or would be easy. I said it’s possible and it can be accomplished. The more people that get on board with that, the more effortless it will become. Right now, since so many people are convinced that the exact opposite is true, that there’s no such thing as truth, that there’s no such thing as natural law, that there’s no such thing as a higher will, there’s no such thing as the authority of nature itself, but we continue to believe in man’s authority as the highest expression of all that is.
We’re going to have a real rough time of it, if we continue to exist in that state of consciousness. So the art of alchemy, which is what the true self practices. It practices this art. It strives to become better at it, because it knows this is the only game in town, to really affect the minds, influence the minds of everyone that is currently at a lower level of consciousness, to help to bring them up, extend a hand down, and lend a little bit of assistance in bringing them up to a higher level of understanding.
That’s all you can do, to make the situation better. Ultimately, the person who you’re helping has to take that step for themselves. It can never ultimately be done for them. And that is oftentimes a source of frustration because there has to at least be a spark of the will within that other being. They have to have at least a desire to want to become better.
You know, sadly, many people have really, that’s been largely extinguished in them. Sad to say. And they actually are living a life of total quiet desperation and believe that nothing can be improved upon from where they are at. There’s always room for improvement and it’s always possible if we have the desire and we employ the will to do that.
So the true Self practices this art of assisting in the great work of betterment of the soul qualities, which is known as alchemy, to bring about deeper accordance with the higher will.
The next quality of the true self is that it is truly concerned with the alleviation of suffering for all, not just for the individuation, of consciousness that it is expressing, meaning the lower case “s” self, you know, like me personally.
Yes, I don’t want myself to suffer, but I have come to the level of understanding that as any are experiencing suffering, I am suffering.
So that’s what the higher level of self is seeking to help us to come to an understanding of, that if even one is experiencing suffering, that is inflicted by themselves, or by other people upon them, we are all suffering. There is no separation between self and other. So if one person is suffering, all are suffering.
Literally, we are connected. Connected. If you look into the meaning of the word connected, CON is a prefix in Latin that means together or with. And necteo nectere means to bind in Latin. So connected means to tie together or to bind together. We are connected.
We are bound together, and the only way we’re getting out of this condition is if we turn that corner and reach enough people, that we understand collectively, in enough numbers, that the road we’re heading down is leading into a blind alley. It’s leading us over a cliff, actually. And we turn that around because we understand that we’re creating suffering not just for ourselves but for all.
We’re creating suffering in the world and that affects everybody. And people who don’t understand natural law or who are deeply trapped in ego, they are not concerned with this principle. They are only concerned with their own comfort level, sadly. And they will do things and can be made to do things that are totally creating more and more suffering for many, many people. And they don’t have the right to do that.
They think they have the right. They believe in their ignorance that they have the right to do that, but nothing will ever make it so in reality. They’re just really trapped in that control mentality that they are privileged and that they have a right and an authority, an inherent authority to control other people.
So, the true Self will, connection with the true Self, will help people to eventually break out of that mindset by understanding that as anyone else suffers, so they themselves suffer. It’s a very hard realization to come to.
Most people, not all, but most people will only come to that level of realization once they themselves have suffered so much that they practically hit rock bottom, that there is no place else left for them to go down in suffering. And that is how I myself experienced that level of understanding.
I did not get this the easy way, for anybody thinking that. Didn’t happen that way, folks. I took the left-hand path. I took the long way around, the long way home, you know? And it was years of enormity of self-inflicted suffering to a point where, as I’ve said before, there were only two places to go. Death or reverse course, admit that I was wrong, and move upward from there.
So that’s what I chose. I didn’t choose death. I’m here speaking with you now. And I learned a lot of things on the way back up from that point. But I think most people are so... I consider that I was a mild case, believe it or not. As strange as for those who didn’t know me back then, it’s difficult to even convey how bad it got.
But for those who did know me back then, for me to say I’m a mild case compared to where other people are, it’s even shocking to understand. Because if it took what it took to get me out of my level of rebellion against higher will and against natural law, what would it take for some people that are so far beyond the condition that I was ever at? I just wonder about that a lot. Uh, sometimes I just think they would choose the grave, happily, willingly, choose the grave over changing.
Um, I hope that isn’t the case. You know, I hope they’ll eventually come to their senses, their true senses. But, um, all we can do is keep putting the message out there. You know? I’ll keep saying the same thing over and over again until I’m not in the body anymore. I’ve said that before.
So, this is the only thing there is to understand, ultimately, if we want a better life from where we’re at. People really have to come to an understanding of this and an acceptance of it because it’s not going to change. This, what I’m explaining, is not going to change. And this isn’t my information. I’ve said that before on this show many times.
This is just information I’ve learned that is out there. These are principles that exist in nature. And we either accept them and come into harmony with them or we reject them and bad things happen. And it’ll continue that way until we make a different choice.
But as long as we keep making this choice, I just say, make the choice. Fine. I can’t make anybody make a different choice. But no. No. You have heard it, at least. At least, that why I do this is, at least that so that other people can have heard that nothing’s going to change if they make the decisions that they’re currently making.
It’s the definition of insanity to say, I’m going to do the same thing, always get the same result, continue to do the same thing, and expect a different result. That’s crazy, completely. It’s craziness. It’s mental illness.
So, the only way to really come out of this level of self-imposed suffering is to understand these principles, which again, I explained many times on the show these are not mine. I don’t own these. They don’t belong to me. I am nobody to keep them secret. I don’t own it, the information that belongs to the cosmos. That’s why give it out freely. I speak it to the world because it does not belong to me.
I am simply charged with delivering a message. That’s it. Nothing else, and really you know, I make little cards to hand out about my website and my radio show, and I don’t even have my name on it. And people say, why don’t you have your name on your own card? I said, cause that’s not important. It’s not important who I am. The information is important. Go up and check it out. You needn’t remember my name. Not important.
So the, continuing with the qualities of the true self, the higher self, self with a capital “S”, this self is not bound in certain ways of seeing the world. The worldview has become unbounded, and it sees that there is no separation between anything, that everything is just consciousness. It is a vast ocean of consciousness, and there is ultimately no separation.
That understanding in worldview, that there isn’t one worldview imbalance or the opposite worldview imbalance, as we talked about when we covered worldview on a previous show. The true Self is not bound into seeing the world as either a grand cosmic accident, which is the randomness worldview, nor does it see everything as totally predetermined in which we have no free will to actually change the result of what we experience.
The Higher self connects with the true understanding that there is no separation between Self and others (ie others’ Higher Selves, although egos ARE separate), and what we’re really experiencing in manifested reality is the combination of a deterministic principle, which is natural law, plus the free will to live in harmony with those principles or to reject them.
So some people would say, well, that’s not really free will. Sure it is. It’s not really free will, only if you see natural law as some sort of a prison or as some sort of a control mechanism. Natural law is not a control mechanism. It is there for pure and total unequivocal freedom.
It is placed there in love by creation itself such that the expressions of itself would be able to have whatever they want. Bliss, ultimately. If they only live within the principles of truth. A very firm term that I just said there.
The principles of truth. That’s what natural law ultimately is.
It has nothing to do with our perceptions of it. It has nothing to do with how we think about it, how we feel about it. It is. It is. It’s that which is. So ultimately, embracing that which we are is embracing natural law. Rejecting natural law is rejecting what we are, rejecting the higher self.
There’s no difference between these principles of natural law and the higher self.
They are one and the same. But we, in our ego, in our identification, in our attachment, want to think that we are individuals or groups of individuals, lowercase “s”, selves, are the law. We want to think that we are the authority. We want to think that we are the creator or God.
That’s how far gone some people are from connection to this higher expression of self and consciousness, that they actually believe they are God, and that they own other beings. So, to go back to the qualities of this higher level of expression, the higher self, also is not operating on only a percentage of its faculties, meaning it uses the entire being, the whole brain, the whole, all of the energy centers, of the being, not just the mind. It uses the mind in conjunction with the body, in conjunction with the will of the being on the physical plane. And it’s a holistic, a holistic coming together of mind, body, and spirit.
True care is present when the true self is present. So you’re using the action principle, the heart principle, and the mind principle. I’ve referred to this as the heart-mind-guts. It’s connecting the heart chakra with the third eye chakra, with the solar plexus chakra. It’s connecting true care with true intelligence, with true courage or willpower.
These are the three planes that we have to work upon to make any positive change happen. We have to have intelligence. We have to have care, to have willpower and courage. If we succumb to the forces of ignorance, the lack of intelligence, if we succumb to the force of apathy, the lack of true care, and if we succumb to the force of laziness and cowardice, we’re not using the guts. We’re not using the solar plexus energy.
So the true self is holistic. It’s bringing these qualities together and therefore it does not exist in the prison of the left brain as we talked about as one of the barriers to self-realization. It is using holistically all of the functions of the brain and it is connected with the spiritual qualities and the intuitive qualities and the nurturing qualities of the right brain or the right mind.
Finally, the true self does not exist in ego identification, meaning it does not identify with the roles that it plays in a physical expression, meaning it doesn’t get wrapped up in being a business owner, being an author, you know, a writer, being an actor, being a poet, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. Okay?
It knows that these are simply expressions and experiences while we are in the physical body, while we’re in this vehicle having experiences to grow and learn, but it doesn’t take them on as the self, as its identity. So it’s not attached and identified with the ego.
It also will seek and encourage to break down institutionalized belief systems wherever it encounters them. Because institutionalized belief systems in any form that they exist, are forms of mind control, as we talked about last week. And that, again, is strong language. Yes, that’s a strong statement, a firm statement being made.
Institutionalized belief systems, no matter what they are, are forms of mind control. They exist to control the thought patterns of any adherents, such that they perpetuate themselves, such that the meme that they represent is perpetuated. The overarching idea that they represent is perpetuated, and therefore it is working and going to work in building something in the physical reality.
So, the higher quality of self is always trying to work on breaking down these belief systems.
To the extent that we are NOT connected with that higher self, we will identify with and work in institutionalized systems. And a lot of people will not want to hear that. And I recognize this. I know this.
Many people will want to hear, I’m a good person and I work in this banking institution, or I work in this scientific research, or I work in this level of finance, or I work in this level of education, or I work in this level of the medical industry, the so-called healthcare industry, and they won’t want to hear that ultimately… yeah, they can do good on a level working with some people one-on-one, but ultimately, the aim that that institution is working toward is control. And I don’t care what it is.
You can’t tell me one institution that isn’t set up like a hierarchical pyramid. You can’t do it, because there are none. Institutions, by definition, are hierarchically structured and compartmentalized, meaning that many people working in them will not know what the task of the other person is. They’re not able to see truth, so to speak. They are structured. They have rank. Okay?
They are about control and subservience. Control to the level below and subservience to the level above, as we talked about last week.
So, Ultimately, all they can do is perpetuate, all an institutionalized belief system can do is perpetuate the dynamic or the force of fear. It is largely based in fear. That is why they even come together at all.
That is why these structures formed, because someone was in fear of something, and we need to do something about that. So let’s propose the solution, and here it is, a monolithic structure that will control this aspect of being, this aspect of life, this aspect of reality.
They’re all the same. All. Okay?
Another mind control technique is that there can never be any totality. There can never be any statement that all institutions are like this. You can’t make it a statement that incorporates all of them.
Sure you can. I just did, because that is how institutions are structured. All of them are structured like that. It doesn’t matter what they are: banking, finance, military, police, education, religion, organized crime, government. You name it. It’s structured the same way. The media, science, are all structured as a hierarchy, all structured in a compartmentalized way.
So finally, the true self will seek to break down those institutions. Because only in breaking down walls and barriers that divide us and structures that keep us chained in fear and in lower levels of self-expression, only by breaking those structures down are we really going to advance and come into alignment with our true potential.
So the lower case “s” self, the lower self, the egoic self, the ego-attached and ego-driven self, what are its expressions and qualities? Let’s look at this for a little bit.
The lower case “s” self is trapped in the state of identification with the roles that it plays.
It believes that it is separate from everything else. That’s its fundamental worldview. The fundamental worldview is that everything is separate from everything else, because I see me there, and you there. I’m here. You’re over there. That means we’re separate from each other.
What I do to affect me isn’t necessarily going to affect someone else that I don’t know, or that I’m not directly affiliated with or connected with. Everything exists in separation, a worldview either skewed toward the left brain of pure randomness, that everything is an accident, there’s no such thing as natural law, um, you know, everything can be reduced to a mechanized thing. The universe is one big mechanical construct, a big machine. It’s not alive. There’s no such thing as consciousness.
Pure separatism in consciousness.
The right brain aspect is, okay, God created everything and it’s separate from us purely. This force or being completely controls everything. We have no say about what happens. We’re just in this and something’s being done to us. And the Creator is separate from the creation, and we have no free will.
Ultimately, this is just, again, like a machine. We’re just along for the ride. This worldview, both of these imbalanced worldviews, they both reflect a state of total separation consciousness. Pure separation consciousness.
So that is the worldview of the lowercase self.
This expression of being, this trapped consciousness, exists in a state of internal confusion all the time. It doesn’t recognize patterns, whether they take place within the being, in their emotions, in their thoughts, and it doesn’t recognize patterns in the external world. And it has no idea what’s going on, essentially.
This is a person that has no clue what’s actually taking place around them, or within them for that matter. They’re not awake at all. They’re in internal opposition. They can be made to do things through various methods that they will state against how they really feel.
In other words, oh yeah, I’ll say that my morals are a certain way, that I believe that this is good and this is true and this is right, but throw me enough money and watch what I’ll do. Offer me enough money.
You want me to hurt that other person in some way? How much? You want me to go and take that person’s property to give it to you? Okay, how much? And some people’s price is cheap. Some people, you just have to pay them a meager salary. And as long as they can get to be dominant and aggressive and, you know, act like a brutish thug, pay me a meager salary by even today’s, you know, standards of what, you know, what most people are paid in the corporate world anyway. And, yeah, I’ll go and do whatever you tell me I’m allowed to do.
No sense of true morals. Only concerned with what they get out of it. Only concerned with one’s own lowercase “s” self comfort level and one’s, you know, extended family, maybe, you know their immediate family, and that’s about it, if that.
So some who are completely trapped in a psychopathic mindset, they don’t even care about the people they’re around at all, let alone working toward helping anybody extricate themselves from the condition of self-inflicted suffering. They could care less about the qualities of being connected with true intelligence, true care, and true will.
These things are meaningless to someone who’s trapped in the ego.
They’ve never even heard of these things. Many people have never even heard and could not tell you anything or give any example about what consciousness is at all. They could not, that word is meaningless to them. They’re concerned with their physical survival only. Their physical survival only. And the survival of their own. Their own, in quotes, that which they see as, this is mine. That out there, that’s other people’s. That’s other people.
All I’m going to worry about is my own comfort, my own survival, and maybe the survival of my immediate family. That’s it. If that, like I said.
The true — the illusory self — this is a person that is trapped in pure illusion. None of what they think is real. They believe in fantasy because they’ve bought lies about who they are, ultimately.
Again, I started this show a couple months back explaining what was written on the Oracle at Delphi in Greece. It says, how do you expect know other wonders if you do not know the wonders of your own house. In you is hidden the treasure of treasures. Know the self and you will know the universe.
Know the self.
That is what someone who is trapped in the illusion of all the constructs that other people have built up around them and brainwashed them and mind-controlled them into believing, that is what this lowercase “s” self has NO concept of, the true self.
What they’re talking about when the mystery school said know the self is know the higher aspects of self. Understand who you are at a higher level. It also means understand the physiology, understand how energy works through the body, understand, you know, what you need to do to take care of the vessel. Of course, you don’t dismiss the physical.
But it’s ultimately know the self, capital “S”, self.
So these qualities are extremely important to know and understand. And it’s equally as important to understand the qualities that are expressed through this illusory self. This cut-off aspect of being. Cut off by the walls they themselves have either erected or allowed to be erected around them by believing what other people have told them.
And we’ve all done it throughout our lives, to one extent or another. We’re born into that. It’s very difficult not to ever fall into that unless you’re fortunate enough to live in an isolated culture that doesn’t teach nonsense like most of the Western cultural world teaches, and the Eastern culture as well.
Mind control is everywhere on this planet, folks. It doesn’t matter where you’re born. There’s a few isolated pockets of indigenous cultures that that may be teaching the healthy worldview to people, but it’s a rarer and rarer thing. And that’s why to come out of it is magnificent and is miraculous. And it shouldn’t be understated.
We should give credit where credit is due to people who have emerged from this lower state of consciousness and raised themselves, whether they’ve done it wholly on their own or they had help in doing it through mentors and, you know, other very selfless individuals. And I mean selfless in the sense that they’re not concerned with, you know, just their own comfort. They’ve spoken up even in the face of ridicule to put information out there into the world, that could help people, that could help raise other people, to higher levels of self-expression and consciousness.
So, we need to understand these lowercase “s” self qualities, these egoic qualities, if we’re going to help people transmute them and come out of them. So the lowercase “s” self, the egoic self, can’t even envision true freedom. They don’t know what freedom is. They have no concept of it. The only thing they’re interested in is more things, more money, more control, more for me. That’s it. They think that’s the way to happiness. That’s the way to betterment. If only I had more money, I could do this, this, this, and this. That’s their solution for everything.
If you ask anybody, what’s your solution to this problem, and they say money, to any problem, and their answer is money, they’re trapped in this level of consciousness, in lower self-consciousness. Because they’re in a state of internal opposition. And that’s all driven through fear.
Fear is ultimately what keeps somebody here. That’s the force that’s behind this. Fear is the force that keeps people enslaved to this level of consciousness. Now, the lowercase “s” self that has come into a little bit of cleverness, a little bit of left brain intellect, and may have certain information that other people in the world don’t have access to, will employ the opposite art that the true self employs.
They will employ the art of sorcery, which is manipulation. Sorcery is mind manipulation. Employing the technique, the science, and art of influence for self-important reasons, for self-serving reasons. And I mean lowercase “s” self.
So they may learn how to influence people, but it’s only because they want to get them to buy something. They may learn how to influence people because they want to get them to do something that they want them to do.
Forget the higher level will. It doesn’t matter what it wants.
I want somebody to do this. I, me, me, me, I, I, I. That’s what the lowercase “s” self is all concerned about, all the time. So they will use the art of influence and manipulation in a negative aspect, not to align anyone with the higher will, with true balance with nature. But they will only employ these techniques to align other people with their own selfishness, their own selfish, egoic, self-serving will with a lowercase “w”. Huge difference between that and the higher will.
The lowercase self is trapped in the left brain largely. There are cases of people in this condition that are in the right brain as well, but it’s rarer. They’re trapped in the prison of the left brain. And of course, they work through and continuously reinforce, they accept, they work through, and they continuously reinforce whatever institutionalized belief system that they’re a part of, or whichever ones can help serve their self-serving aims and goals.
So institutional belief systems to them, perfectly acceptable. They don’t care whether it’s a form of mind control. They don’t care who it hurts. They don’t care whose life it destroys. If it puts money in my pocket, I’m all for it. If it gives me a job, I’m all for it. It kills lots of other people? So what? It harms lots of other people’s minds and brains? Who cares? Is it doing something good for me? Am I benefiting? Well, then let it continue. Wonderful. Great. Let’s have more of the same. Let’s have more of this.
Because that person suffering as a result of what this institution is doing, that ain’t me. So who cares? This is the consciousness of the person trapped in ego. And I’ll tell you what. A lot of the people in the freedom movement don’t have much higher level of consciousness than that, because how many of them are working amongst institutions and corporations, saying that they want freedom, true freedom, but yet they’re still doing something that is helping the opposite dynamic of what they say they want. It’s a controlling institution.
And again, it’s not going to be a popular thing to hear. I’m not here for a popularity contest, folks, in case you didn’t grasp that yet. I say things people don’t want to hear, because they need to hear it. That’s it. The truth is ugly sometimes from where we’re at. But the corner we’ve worked ourselves into, most of us can only see the truth from that little corner that we’ve worked ourselves into, and from that perspective, it looks horrendous. It looks horrifying.
Once we come out of that little corner that we’ve wedged ourselves into, we’ll see it wasn’t so horrifying. It was actually being spoken, and it’s actually there for our self-betterment. Higher case “S” self, and lowercase “s” self, because if we get connected with that higher case “S” self, the lowercase “s” self will improve its condition and its comfort levels and its understanding, and it will merge, it will come into harmony with that higher level expression of consciousness, that I call the higher self.
All right, so I’m going to take a break here from this explanation, and I see we have a caller, so sorry for the wait.
Note: Mark is quoted in highlights
It says Southeast Pennsylvania. All right. Caller from Southeast Pennsylvania, you are on what on earth is happening.
Well, it’s more like Doylestown, Pennsylvania, but that’s okay.
Eric G., what’s up, man?
What’s going on, Mark? You know, I’m sitting here. I came home. I had some barbecue. I put your show on. I was listening to you, man. I just... like a half hour listening to you, you just hit me how spot on you are, man. You just nail how people are locked into this lower level of consciousness where their institutionalized belief systems, their ego attachments, just all of it just dominates them. It just completely rules them. They have no understanding of the higher self. They’re completely shut out of that realm. It’s sad. And they’re literally like a disease. They’re a disease on society.
They’ve been manipulated into such a condition. And this is our work, man. Our work is to help cure them, help reach out to them. You’re right. What they have is a disease. See, I wouldn’t say they are a disease. They are expressing a disease. And they’re infected with this. This is a dis-ease. They’re not at ease.
They’re in an illness. They have become ill. And this is what our work is. Our work is to understand how the total dynamic all works and fits together so that we are at a level of understanding that we can be of help and service to these individuals.
And hey, I fall prey to hating what they do more so than anybody. And if I didn’t admit that, I’d be lying to everyone out there. I get enraged by it a lot of times. But we have to look past what the people do to their true selves and try to make a connection with that and reach it, and transmute their behaviors by our care for their true selves. And it’s harder said than done. And, you know, I need to take my own advice when it comes to that because, again, I fall prey to getting as upset about what other people do as anyone else. It’s a difficult thing.
Well, there’s many, many pitfalls in life, absolutely. We all have our own issues. But I have another question. It seems like the establishment is really against the use of cannabis sativa. Because it does make you dwell on things and use your logic. Do you ever see a day when we get past that?
Well, this is something that I’m going to talk about on this show. And I have, I have extremely strong feelings about this, because think about how deep the hubris of other individuals is, that would make a claim upon the consciousness of another living being. Let me ask you this. You’re... you know, let’s say you’re having a barbecue. Are you going to drink a beer tonight, maybe? Eric?
Maybe more than just a beer.
Okay. So you’re going to have a beer with your dinner, right? Now, what if I said to you, you know, saying to Eric G, Eric, I’m telling you that you may not consume that kind of beverage ever again, as long as you’re alive. I’m declaring that that is unfit for your consumption as an adult human being on this planet, because essentially what I’m saying is I own your ability to judge what you wish to put inside of your body and whatever substance you wish maybe to alter your body or your life with. You don’t have that right, I am taking control over that choice for you. Imagine this.
Imagine you going up to another person. Just let’s say, I go up to, I don’t know, let’s say my cousin Jason. So I’m going to go over to my cousin Jason’s house and I’m going to say, Jason, listen, I’ve determined that you’re no longer allowed to eat any salt. I’m taking all the salt out of your home. Give me all your salt shakers. If I ever find you buying salt again, I’m going to hurt you in some way. I might punch you in the face. I might smash one of the windows in your car. I might break a window in your home.
You might fine them $1,000, like New York’s, though.
Right. Exactly. So imagine this. This isn’t about controlling a substance. This is about controlling a being and it’s more than that. It’s about controlling consciousness of a being. It’s saying your consciousness where you may journey works or have any level of experience in your own mind It belongs to me. It does not belong to you.
You don’t own your own mind and consciousness and body. This is a claim on your body. It’s saying your body does not belong to you. You may not determine what you put into it. I own your body. I will determine what goes into it. Imagine this. See, it’s a real hot topic, a button presser for me.
This is a button presser for me to a point where I could get really enraged about it. Because this is one of the highest levels of hubris that exists anywhere in the world. Someone else owns my consciousness? Really? Really? Really? Sure you do. You own my consciousness. And that’s the answer that I would expect.
Like, if I said that to you, I would expect you to be ready to defend yourself. You have to claim over your actual body and mind, man. And yet there are people who will never admit that that’s what it is and will never see it that way, because they’re so wrapped up in fear. It’s all fear.
Oh, you’re saying you’re advocating the use of this substance and what about children and stuff? No, I’m talking about an adult human being that knows what they’re taking and has the right to put whatever they want into their body. And I said, and I’ll make this statement a thousand more times, I own my body. I own my mind.
Now, I can’t take my body with me beyond this physical reality, so I’m the steward of this body while I inhabit it. No one else is. I own my mind while the expression of it exists in this physical vehicle, and no one will tell me what I’m going to do with any of those things.
So I will drink what I want to drink, whether it is healthy or harmful, I will eat what I want to eat, whether it is healthy or harmful. I will smoke what I want to smoke because what I want to do is up to, it is an expression of my consciousness, not anybody else’s. I will snort what I want to snort. I will inject what I want to inject. And I’m all about total taking care of your health.
You know, I’m not advocating getting into any kind of hard drugs. I’m not advocating starting to snort cocaine or meth or anything like that. I’m talking about, if I want to sit and smoke any substance that grows in the earth, I’ll do it. If I want to smoke cannabis, I’ll do that.
If I want to smoke salvia, I’ll do that. If I want to smoke dimethyltryptamine, I’ll do that. Because no one else owns my body and consciousness. Period. The end. End of story. This is the issue that’s never brought up when it comes to drug prohibition or legalization.
It’s always about other issues, but very rarely do you ever hear somebody bring up the idea of self-ownership. Who owns your consciousness? Who owns your mind? Do you own it or does someone else own it and is allowed to tell you what you can do with it? And I say you can write whatever you want to write on a piece of paper.
You go ahead and scribble whatever you want. It will never give you the authority to actually have the right to do what you are claiming you have the right to do to other human beings, because you wrote something down on a piece of paper. It will never make it right or moral.
It doesn’t matter what you think about it. And you know what? It doesn’t matter what anybody thinks about it. There is a moral law that governs this, and all that matters is whether someone understands it or not. That’s it. That’s what’s creating the reality that we are experiencing, whether you understand, the amount of people who understand the actual moral principles that govern creation. That’s it.
And all the cops that go out and put people out who are nonviolent people into a cage for taking any substance are sick people. They’re sick individuals. They don’t understand how sick they are, but they are. They have brain damage in a physical sense.
We talked about how the brain becomes imbalanced through certain worldviews and by continuously doing certain behaviors. And how one of the substances that will destroy the brain faster than any other is adrenaline. Adrenaline is way more destructive to the brain tissue and synapses than many hard, hard drugs are.
This charge that controllers get going into battle or arresting people or wrestling people to the ground and taking their homes and taking physical control over their bodies, they’re getting this big adrenal rush constantly. And it’s working on physical brain. I’m not talking even about the mind here. I’m talking about physical, provable, scientifically provable brain damage to the neocortex of the brain, that is provable with PET scans and SPECT scans.
And nothing that they do that they ever believe will ever grant them the moral authority to do what they are doing. They’re wrong. They will always be wrong for as long as they continue to do it. And there’s no nicer way to say it. There’s no nicer way to say it. You don’t have the moral authority to do what you’re doing. Many people understand this, but they’re not vocal enough. They’re in completely dead-set ways.
Like, let’s not back down about this. It isn’t about, you know, just helping people with medical conditions. This is an issue of ownership of the mind. That’s what this is an issue of. And I cringe when I see people bringing up reasons that any substances should be quote-unquote legalized when they never touch upon that basic issue, the basic foundation of I own me, I own my mind, I own the consciousness, and I’ll do what I will with it.
You don’t own my body. You don’t own my life, period. And that’s the bottom line for me on that issue. I mean, that’s it, man. That’s what has to be understood. And this has nothing to do with trying to sanitize society, you know, or make things perfectly safe for everybody.
You know, you want to make things safe? Educate people about natural law. Help them to understand why it’s important to live in harmony with it. And you’ll have a relatively, almost completely safe society. You’ll never completely sanitize any, any, uh, harm. I’m not saying that you could have a 100% total and utter utopia in which nothing ever happens, and that would be pretty damn boring, too.
But forget controlling anything or trying to eradicate it from existence. Education is always the answer over control, and that’s what I advocate. Get educated about substance. Know that they’re not all the same. Know what the effects are. These are things that grow on the earth, for God’s sake. You know.
You’re trying to make a part of nature illegal. It’s madness, utter madness. And it’s all born of fear, all born out of fear. These people are some of the most intimate fear people that you will ever, ever meet. And they think that they’re tough. They think that they’re, you know, they’re big and important and, you know, it’s a child’s mentality.
A controller’s mentality is the mentality of an emotional and spiritual child. A child. And it’s, it’s sad that we have so many people like that at that level of consciousness. It’s a very sad thing. These are ill people. They need help. They need treatment.
They need, they need to be cured of this. And, uh, you know, it’s tough not to hate people that think like that, man. Like I said, I fall prey to it a lot myself, and I’d be lying to you if I told you that it was easy to look at these people as simply ill and in need of help, because they’re the people that will deny that the most.
You know, they’ll say, oh, no, you’re the one who’s wrong and who’s, you know, sick and damaged and they don’t really understand, man. They don’t understand what they do. It’s like the whole words of Jesus when he says, forgive them, they know not what they do.
These people really don’t understand any of these dynamics. They have never been exposed to them. They have never thought about them for a single instant in their entire lives. And they’re very ill as a result. But that’s where I stand on all drugs. All drugs. Doesn’t matter how hard or harmful they are.
Education about them is the answer, not prohibition. And besides, who is anybody to claim authority on another being’s consciousness? There’s no one to do that. And no matter what you write down, you don’t have that right. These controllers just think, they believe they have that right. And because so many of them believe it, they’re willing to all back each other up to violence. That’s ultimately what this is about.
It’s about thugs backing each other up to violence because they’ve accepted a belief system that’s erroneous, that’s complete nonsense. And again, call it whatever strong language you want, say, oh, that’s making a generalization.
No, I’m explaining what the truth of the matter is. And that’s the truth of the matter. But Until you study these dynamics and understand natural law, it may sound strange to you, but you don’t own anybody else’s consciousness. You own your own, and that means you have no control over anything but your own thoughts, your own emotions, and your own actions in the world.
And once you start stepping over that line and trying to take control of other people’s actions and what they can put into their own body, and they’re not harming anyone else by doing it, they’re making a choice for themselves, then, you know, you are stepping over the line of natural law that you have no right to step over.
Again, it’s sad that these people think that that would be effective. It’s not effective. You’re not changing anything. The same rate of drugs is going on since the drug war started. The same rate of drug consumption. And as a matter of fact, drugs are even more strong and pure now than they were years ago. You know, there’s a higher level of power to some of these substances than there used to be, and there’s the same amount of people doing them.
Drug war has done nothing. It’s cost billions and billions and billions of dollars. It’s ruined millions and millions and millions of lives, and it has accomplished zero. Zero. And if you don’t want to take my word for that, look into Law Enforcement Against Prohibition, LEAP, a group of police that want to see all drugs legalized, because the war on drugs is a failure. And even some of these people have recognized that.
They may not understand all natural law, but at least they’ve recognized how horrific of a failure the war on drugs has been. So that’s my position on that, but we’ll get into that in other shows too. I know I took a big time on that, but since you brought it up, why not make it clear? You know, that’s my stance on that. You don’t own my consciousness.
Well, that was an interesting breakdown. I realized some things while you were talking about the drug war, namely the fact that how many times has the CIA been caught flying the cocaine and heroin on planes, private planes? They’re running the drugs. They run the drug cartels in South America and in Afghanistan. Our troops are over there guarding the opium fields.
That’s right.
And at the same time, our government is allowing people to own private prisons of the same people that fly these things in. It’s just criminal organization. The prohibition of cannabis is basically because cannabis, whenever I use it, and I use it every day, I always think of solutions.
Like, I’ll think of a problem, and then I’ll come up with a solution. They don’t want us coming up with solutions. Mind control and all the other constraints. They put us in molds. It’s like they place us in mold. You have to break out of that mold and become your own person.
You shouldn’t be locked into a particular mode. And also the nutritional aspect, too. I mean, I know that, when you start using these super-foods, you have increased blood flow to your brain. Ginkgo biloba, proven, increased the blood flow to your brain. That makes you smarter. It makes you think clearer. It makes you remember better.
They don’t want you to remember things. They don’t want you to think clearer. They don’t want you to come up with solutions. They just want you to shut up, go to work, and anybody who thinks out of the box, they want you to attack that person. And like I said, these people are a disease.
Look at all the benefits of the hemp plant in health.
Yeah, hemp oil could have fueled all our automobiles. And instead of having millions of gallons draining into the Gulf of Mexico, that never would have happened. And we all would have been much more prosperous because we could have been more independent. There could have been all these farmers. Our government pays farmers not to grow things.
I mean, there’s so much corruption. There’s so much criminality. It’s just the whole system is diseased. And I think we’re coming to a point where it’s going to get destroyed and rebelled. And you talk about 2012 and the apocalypse and how it’s the great unveiling of the truth. You know, that’s coming. I see it.
Sure. I think some of us are moving toward that unveiling. You know, some of us are facing it head on with eyes wide open and others, sadly, are choosing to close their eyes to it and go into a fetal position. It all depends on how you view what you will be able to do with that truth, no matter how dark it may seem.
And people who are more connected with the higher level of self will be able to take that information and transmute it and use it for a good purpose, a powerful, a positive, and empowering purpose. So that’s what we try to do here on the show.
And Eric, you always, when you call in, you always bring up great topics of discussion. And I thank you. And feel free to call in anytime in the future. And anybody else listening, I like to take callers. So call in and I’ll always put you on and then talk about anything you want. And, you know, I think it helps to create like an interactive dynamic on the show. So Eric, thanks, man. I’ll talk to you again soon.
All right, Mark. You’re a great friend. We’ll talk soon, buddy. Take care.
Take care, man. Bye-bye.
All right. So a couple of great callers on the show tonight. All right. So we’ve got about four, four and a half minutes left on the broadcast tonight. Let’s see. Okay, so I think I wrapped up what I really wanted to talk about regarding the dichotomy between higher level self and lower level self.
And this really, for the most part, wraps up the, again, the end of the first big section of material that I wanted to get through when talking about the dynamic of what’s really happening in the world. And these dynamics that we’ve covered thus far on this show really are the bottom line solution.
These are the very core, core causal factors of why we’re experiencing what we are experiencing in the world. Help people to understand this information. Give them some of the podcasts. Encourage them to listen to the show. Check out the videos on my site. Listen to other great shows on the Revolution Broadcasting Network and other networks that are speaking the truth out there in the alternative media.
So it’s important that we reach out to others with this information. Knowing, again, as I’ve said on this show, is not good enough. It’s only the first step. Taking the information yourself. Understand it so well that you can speak it to others, in a plain and clear way, and in a decisive way, because that’s what this is ultimately about is a decision.
People are making their decisions about which force they’re going to serve. Are they going to serve the force of fear and chaos and confusion? Or, are they going to serve the force of light and love and order and harmony and peace and connection with higher levels of consciousness? And that is the force of love.
So I think what I will begin to do on future shows is I’d like to take more callers regarding what I have discussed up through this point, and that’s always welcome, for anybody to call in. And I think I will begin putting the word out to get some more guests on the show.
So what I will ask some listeners is do is, if you have any potential guests for this show please email me. My email address is mark@whatonearthishappening.com. You have anybody that would like to be on the show, I can you know, send me some contact information. I can get in touch with them and and start discussing with them about what they would like to talk about and maybe scheduling them to be on an upcoming show.
In future weeks, what I’m really going to be getting into is the dynamic of mind control. And I guess I’ll just say it here on the show for the first time. I am planning a conference on consciousness, mind control, and occultism in April of 2011. It will probably be the weekend of April 11th and 12th.
So interestingly, I believe that the first day will be 4-11, an acronym for a symbol for information. So look for that coming up. I have some great people working with me to organize that. And I think, you know, guests in future shows are what I want to focus on, as I start to unfold some of the darker aspects of the problems that we are facing as a species.
So that’s what’s coming in future weeks. Again, get in touch with me at mark@whatonearthishappening.com if you have any guests that you would like to recommend for this show. And I think that about wraps it up for this week.
So I’m your host, Mark Passio. You have been listening to What on Earth is Happening. My website is whatonearthishappening.com, and the network that this show has carried on is Revolution Broadcasting. Their website is revolutionbroadcasting.com. I’ll see you here next Tuesday at 7 p.m. Good night.
