Following my last post on the origins of secret societies, I want to lay more groundwork and explain how mind control began as well, with the most basic form of mind control there is to begin with. That is through the use of word "magic" (language) and symbols that influence the minds of human beings.

Before any technological mind control mechanisms were made, such as those suggested in fictional representations like the Manchurian Candidate, Bourne Identity or other methods of auditory or visual stimulus and sensory deprivation techniques like in the Clockwork Orange, there were symbols at the base and history of control over the minds of others.

This is not to say there aren't other ways of controlling the mind by fracturing, breaking and compartmentalizing the mind as is talked about by Cathy O'Brien and other victims of mind control. This includes the admitted CIA MK Ultra program that so many denied existed until it was admitted, and the use of chemicals, drugs, isolation, verbal, physical and sexual abuses which Donald Marshall also talks about. There are also directed energy technologies that can induce hearing things and make people think they are crazy. I will talk about these topics at another time.

Language

Language is so ubiquitous and used all the time that we don't think about how powerful of a tool it is. In evolutionary terms, it has allowed us to transmit knowledge into the future, which is a key part of how we can continue to build from the work of others and progress even further, rather than re-invent the wheel. We have been propelled into greater technological developments throughout history because we can carry knowledge through time and to many people, rather than it be restricted to the mind of one person in a lifetime.

The likely first development was of symbolic gestures, like sign language. Some primates can communicate this way with us human animals as well. Then there is the development of inscribed symbols as pictographs that act as direct references and representations about things in reality. A circle was used to represent the sun, for example. Then other symbols are abstracted and combined to create more complex symbolic reference to concepts of the mind, such as hieroglyphics and other forms of inscribed communication that developed. Then we have the most abstracted form of symbols as letters of the past few thousand years, where lines and curves are used to create symbols that represent sounds and are then linked together to form words.

Magic

Going back to Ancient Egypt where many mystery traditions originate (Moses, Socrates and Pythagoras were allegedly trained there). The Ancient Egyptian word for magic was heka. Heka was a foundational concept along with maat, both personified as gods/goddesses. Maat was morality, order, justice, truth, etc. and the foundation that the creator god stood on to create the universe, and heka was magic as the art of mouth, the art of meaningful speech, the power of speech, the "word" that spoke the universe into creation. Magic as the power of speech is a creative power to influence and affect the consciousness or mind of others.

Speech is one externalized expression from consciousness. Thoughts and emotions are other internal expressions. The creative power of consciousness from with-in leads to behavior with-out. Much of what makes things flow in our human created world are our actions. Words and speech are especially powerful to influence, affect, and potentially manipulate consciousness to act and behave in certain ways of living to create the way of life we lead.

There are many ideas that are sold where people buy into them and live accordingly. These are spells cast on the mind, invocations, conjurings, that are injected into consciousness through the simplicity of being heard and listened to. This is magic of the highest kind, imperceptible, hidden, mysterious, unless you know how to see and hear what is being done to you.

Words and speaking can be used to uplift and free people towards learning about what is right, good and true, but also can be used to manipulate others with lies, deceit and falsity to bend people to one's will.

"The power of words which have conscious (or unconscious) meaning, when spoken or chanted aloud, have an ecstatic quality which may bring one into a hypnotic or meditative state."
- Michael Ford (Necrominon – Egyptian Sethanic Magick)

Summoning Spells into Consciousness

Chant, entertain, amuse, amaze, mesmerize, hypnotize. These produce altered states of consciousness that can be induced, invoked, inculcated and summoned into consciousness, just as a magic spell in fictional stories can summon things into reality. These spells cast on the mind will summon images, ideas and beliefs into our consciousness, and also specific actions and behaviors into the world.

Government is one example, a belief cast on consciousness to live a certain way in life, of subsuming our authority to an external centralized authority. Through the magic of words and speech people are influenced and controlled to generate actions and create the human world we have, just like summoning things into reality.

Manipulation

There are people who have influence through charisma and charm and can "magically" charm others and put a spell on people, emotionally and cognitively. Speech tone and repetition can entertain, amuse, amaze, mesmerize and hypnotize others to induce a state of experience in consciousness. A manipulator, a con-man, a dark "sorcerer", can make you experience something that "feels-right" through a convincing false reality, where you judge your experience to be real, "feeling-right", even though it is false. Deceptions can "feel-good" and "right" but be wrong and false.

The magic of word symbols, "magical phrases" like buzz words and other keywords, can be used as opiates to fearful masses. Make people "feel-good", love-bomb them, and you can more easily gain their trust, loyalty, faith and belief in you as someone to listen to and follow in life. "Spiritual" gurus and other popular speakers and leaders have this effect on people, whether intended or not. Some know it and make use of it to win-over and control the minds of others.

This is what politicians do with their sophistry and rhetoric to lie and manipulate people's consciousness into certain behaviors. The entertainment industry, television, media, "gurus", politicians, priests, and more, can all amaze, mesmerize, hypnotize, induce, summon and invoke images, beliefs and altered states of consciousness to entrain us into specific modalities of living.

There is a "science" of imagery that can be understood. Magic is an art and "science" of the use of our will to charm, influence, inject, invoke, inculcate, summon and cast word magic spells into other consciousnesses. This is injecting word symbol images, that represent aspects of reality or unreality, into the phantasmal realm of consciousness, into the mind's eye.

Influence and Control

To act in the world, or say something, sends out a form of "energy" (so-to-speak) that reverberates into the lives of others. This "energy" is a physical action that produces effects to affect reality, or the energy of sound vibration to influence and affect other consciousnesses in reality.

What we do or say manifests in visible causal relationships, as well as potentially unseen causal correspondences. The seeds (of effects we have on others and the world) may be planted earlier on that produce an effect later. The "energy" we put out can affect us and others in subtle as-of-yet unrecognizable ways. The Law of Cause and Effect is everywhere, both seen and unseen. It can take time for the ripples we put out to reverberate and produce some effects in the lives of others or our own lives.

We can keep the ways of thinking that others have imposed into us through social engineering mechanisms, to create as they say to create (abracadabra). They are speaking word symbol magic spells, to invoke, summon and construct false subjective perceptual unrealities as if they were objective realities, all within our consciousness. This happens all the time through the media, and people buy into what is being sold. The action of voice, speech, the "art of mouth", "magical speech", sophistry, rhetoric, and also the conditioning of our environment, society, parents and peers, has influence on us and has us engage in the continuation of falser programmed modalities and ways of living that keep us under the control of other people's will.

Think of when a president or leader signs a piece of paper, and everyone believes in the power of that person, and that piece of paper. Someone writes word symbols down on paper, and with the power of word symbol magic, people are fooled into a magic trick. They believe they need to act, behave and create into existence according to the word symbol magic of what someone wrote in their word spelling. A spell was cast on the minds of men to act a certain way (mind control). Someone wishes something to be, to be created into the world, and others believe it and create that way of life into existence.

These are their spells, their abracadabra, where we create as they say we should be creating, where our will becomes their will. We need to create and live our own abracadabra, to discern truth, morality and existence/reality accurately, and live accordingly. Take the power back. We have the power. The power of consciousness to affect, alter, change, create, manifest and generate into the primacy of existence.

"The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. ...We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of. This is a logical result of the way in which our democratic society is organized. Vast numbers of human beings must cooperate in this manner if they are to live together as a smoothly functioning society. ...In almost every act of our daily lives, whether in the sphere of politics or business, in our social conduct or our ethical thinking, we are dominated by the relatively small number of persons…who understand the mental processes and social patterns of the masses. It is they who pull the wires which control the public mind."
– Edward L. Bernays, Propaganda
