Thinking is a Bad Habit by Henry Makow (Jan. 7, 2015)

The Illuminati believe they can conjure any scenario and we'll behave accordingly. They are like an hypnotist who tells a man he is a chicken. The man struts around, clucks and even tries to lay an egg. Thus men go to war and die "to defend freedom."

They control our minds.



When I say "thinking is a bad habit," I'm NOT referring to thoughts based on independent observation and analysis, or intuition or inspiration.

I'm referring to the stream of useless chatter and trivia that usually fills our minds. Our thoughts alternate between sex and money, fear and greed, desire and resentment. Our minds are like beggars looking for a handout, addicts needing a fix. As result, many of us behave like beggars or addicts.

I used to be dysfunctional or depressed because I depended on the Illuminati media for my definition of reality. Thus, I was programmed to be dysfunctional. Dysfunction like disease, war and poverty are systemic (inherent in society) because the rich benefit from them.
 
Illuminati member Harold Rosenthal spelled it out:  "We have converted the people to our philosophy of getting and acquiring so that they will never be satisfied. A dissatisfied people are pawns in our game of world conquest. Thus, they are always seeking and never able to find satisfaction. The very moment they seek happiness outside themselves, they become our willing servants."  Harold Rosenthal The Hidden Tyranny

TRAPPED IN THE PRISM OF THE MIND

The human mind is like a computer that can't be turned off. It's programmed to "be dissatisfied." The programming is in music, movies, TV and education. 

The Illuminati believe they are hypnotists. They tell a man he is a chicken, and he struts around and clucks and even tries to lay an egg. Thus, men go to war and die "to defend freedom." Look at the Vietnam War for example. "If Vietnam goes Communist," they told us,"all South East Asia will fall." Didn't happen. Look at Vietnam today. Was that war necessary? Were Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya or Syria? Necessary only for profit and to impose the Illuminati Jewish NWO.

(Remember "terrorists" did this)

The Illuminati fabricate and bend reality. Shooting down a Malaysian airliner is an "atrocity" if the Russians did it, but since the Ukrainians did it, it is forgotten. Insulting cartoons about Jews are a "hate crime"; about Muslims, they're "free speech." Navy Seals killed Osama Bin Laden but sorry, there are no pictures!

Add the JFK-RFK-MLK assassinations, 9-11, Boston Marathon and Sandy Hook and you see they determine reality simply by lying.

They program our minds to adopt any self-destructive or abhorrent behavior. Feminists teach women that being a wife and mother is "oppressive" and hooking up is "empowering."

Men are told they need to "satisfy women sexually to prove they are men." Society is governed by such shibboleths.

Thousands of Westerners join ISIS and commit unspeakable crimes in the name of religion. The mind unmoored from the Moral Order is malleable indeed! 

We experience our programming rather than reality.  For example, Hollywood presents romance and sex as panaceas and we experience them as such.  The Cabalists love hypnotizing us. It's their "magic."

If a concept is self destructive, surely we need to set it aside.

By themselves, our minds have no anchor in truth. The mental world is like a carnival house of mirrors, or a prism.  

GROUNDING OURSELVES IN REALITY

The mind and the consciousness (soul) are our two sources of identity. We have been programmed to identify entirely with the mind and deny the existence of our true identity, the soul.

We need to experience ourselves as consciousness (soul) rather than as thoughts. Consciousness is the entity that witnesses thought. It's a constant source of energy, inspiration and joy.

The essence of genuine religious teaching is that man's true character is spiritual. Our soul is our lifeline to God. We need to shift from inhabiting thought, to inhabiting spirit. As we shift our center of gravity from mind to spirit, many of our "desires" fade away. They were mental in character.

The poet Henry More (1614-1687) wrote:

"When the inordinate desire after knowledge of things was allayed in me,  and I aspired after nothing but purity and simplicity of mind, there shone in me daily a greater assurance than ever I could have expected, even of those things which before I had the greatest desire to know." 

The mind tortures the soul with desires. We need to still the mind. Imagine a test pattern like the one above. Experience thoughts as foreign, as not "you" but usually belonging to the beggar. This is the basis of meditation. Some people concentrate on their breathing or a mantra.

Like penguins on an ice flow, we are an ape colony stranded on a speck in the ocean universe.  No one really understands what we're doing here. Our lives are short and often difficult.  The soul is our only connection to eternity and to our life's purpose.

I recommend the YouTubes by Eckhart Tolle below.  "Find your identity in the present moment," Tolle says. He is referring to pure consciousness, i.e.
Truth, Love, Bliss, Beauty and Peace. With so many people spinning webs of crazy thought, we need an anchor in spiritual reality. -----

First Comment from Magda:

Thanks for the food for thought Henry. Here is are two quotes my a Muslim writer named Yasmin Mogahed that are similar sentiments.
"So for all those, who have spent their life seeking, know that purity of any thing is found at the Source. If it is love that you seek, seek it through God. Every other stream, not based in His love, poisons the one who drinks from it. And the drinker will continue to drink, until the poison all but kills him. He will continue to die more and more inside, until he stops and finds the pure Source of water.

Once you begin to see everything beautiful as only a reflection of God's beauty, you will learn to love in the right way: for His sake. Everything and everyone you love with be for, through and because of Him. The foundation of such love is God. So what you hold onto will no longer be just an unstable feeling, a fleeting emotion. And what you chase will no longer be just a temporary high. What you hold, what you chase, what you love, will be God: the *only* thing stable and constant. Thereafter, everything else will be through Him. Everything you give or take or love or don't love, will be by Him. Not by your nafs. It will be for Him. Not for your nafs/self.

 

Comments for "Thinking is a Bad Habit "

Gene said (January 8, 2015):
You are correct about the soul. Jesus said that the Kingdom of God is within us, unqualified. That Kingdom of God is the soul and both are spiritual. We know that the spirit controls the physical because God, the spirit, created all of the physical. Our concentration must be to seek and begin to appreciate our soul as the Kingdom of God. Jesus told us how to do that by loving our fellowman and God. All we have to do is heed as best we can the simple instructions of Jesus and everything in our life changes for the good.

I have spent vast amounts of time pondering why we are here and can only come to a simple conclusion that makes sense. God gave us free will so that we would come to him, not because we have to, but because we want to out of love for him. All that we endure seems to point to that conclusion. Without difficulties, we would have no choices to make including choosing God.

Keep up the good work.

Is it possible that our reality is created by the frequency of energy we put out? I haven't owned a TV in 8 years...I giggle like a monkey when I see one because I SEE the TV as such a potent mind control device especially the new HD TV's. The TV actually REDUCES our frequency.

I think more and more we are going to have separate "reality frequencies" that people will experience during this Shift that is happening. The Illuminati and their "military industrial mickey mouse complex" will blow itself up over time while other people of higher frequency will enjoy love with the farmers and joyous people of the planet. That is my opinion based on observation of what I see "energetically" taking place...

Once you begin to see everything beautiful as only a reflection of God’s beauty, you will learn to love in the right way: for His sake. Everything and everyone you love with be for, through and because of Him. The foundation of such love is God. So what you hold onto will no longer be just an unstable feeling, a fleeting emotion.

John G said (January 7, 2015):
As scripture tell us, only the pure in heart will see God. The scholars and the learned are often too wrapped up in their carnal analysis of things. This prevents them from having a pure mind and heart. They always rely on man's interpretation of reality and not God's through the scriptures. To them the Holy Bible is a collection of fables and contradictions that, for the life of them, they just can't grasp. Their beliefs are rooted in science and biology where the soul is absent and can have no place.

If salvation was all about worldly knowledge than only the scholars would have a place in the Kingdom of Heaven. Salvation comes from the consciousness of man's being in relation to God's commands. Their is no better illustration of this than the Parable of The Good Samaritan. The learned Levite priest walks by a wounded man on the side of the road while the lesser and looked down on Samaritan rescues him. Who is the the true pious one here that knows God?

Knowledge by itself never saved anyone's soul but only love through charity can cover a multitude of sins.
