The Occult Anatomy Of Mass Media - How "News" And Pop Culture Are Designed To Kill Our Mind, Body & Spirit
I remember walking home from the subway in Bushwick, and seeing in the distance flashing lights, a woman crying and being consoled, and an area of the street being taped off by officers. But the most revealing thing I witnessed while sitting on my stoop observing from a distance, were people from all over the neighborhood, attracted like moths to a flame.
In my mind, the scene meant nothing good, nothing that I wanted to see up close, but to the average sheep it was an event to behold, something worth pausing their TV shows for, putting slippers on, and in some cases running down the street to see up close.
I doubt this crowd would be at the same spot if there were a man there proposing to his girlfriend, or if a woman was screaming that she won 50 million in the NY State lottery. The average person doesnt quite get it up for those things.
We are hardwired to pay more attention to dangerous and "negative" situations
Mass Media News and Pop Culture are based and stupid by design
While politics and economics are very important issues, lets be honest; their complexity and intricacy are not going to allow them to be comprehended by 95% of the population. The average person does not have the education, time or desire to do the work of fact checking and digging into alternative news sources. These people take mainstream news on faith. So repetition always wins.
The truth of matters is often complicated, and when mass media by nature caters to the most common intelligence, which is the lowest acceptable, then how the fuck am I supposed to take it seriously? They are not talking to me, and thus, I feel insulted when I hear it. It actually infuriates me.
The most popular food chain in the world serves items that are mostly not real food. The most popular drink in America is far from the healthiest. The most popular shows are the most vapid and nonsensical. Popular music is not synonym for quality music. Anything that is fashionable today is laughed at in pictures 10 years from now.
It is obvious that the things that are popular are virtually always the least in quality or importance. So what does "Common Sense" even mean anymore? Am I supposed to value it?
Common people, or "The Herd", are highly motivated by fear; not reason
And it ruins their health!
Is it really worth it?
Many of the above symptoms and more go unnoticed in todays world. They are often attributed to the wrong things. We live in highly imagined times, ingesting more contrived realities than ever, where we are too often taken from the moment and circumstances at hand, and plunged into an ill imagination of fantasy or foreign bullshit that poses no threat to us. Transgenderism "issues", Nazis, terrorists, Mexicans, racists, Feminists, and even football and The Walking Dead are always triggering our ill trained impulses to danger, and thus, our biology.
And just imagine the level of psychoses and neuroses it causes most of us, paying so much attention to foreign, fake, twisted and inflated issues that pose virtually no real danger in our day to day lives.
The fear response is no joke. Everything from the "butterflies feeling" to high anxiety is a form of the fear response kicking in. It releases chemicals into the body that get you ready for action, but guess what... in this day and age we dont take action. We are often just sitting in a chair and allowing these chemical reactions to work against our own bodies and psyches.
Ever hear the term "Scared Shitless"? Well its real. Fear fucks with your digestion. And beyond the inability to take a proper dump, just imagine how we are failing to properly obtain the best from the food we eat.
Mass Media and Pop Culture promote baseness and fear in order to control us
As with any herding mechanism, the key motivator is fear. They have you fearing that you are not in the know, and need to know for your own well being, and in the case of Pop Culture, it is more of a need to be included, preying on your insecurity as well. But as I stated earlier, isnt everything that is popular today, laughed at or regretted tomorrow?
“We look for the Secret - the Philosopher's Stone, the Elixir of the Wise, Supreme Enlightenment, 'God' or whatever...and all the time it is carrying us about...It is the human nervous system itself.”
~ Robert Anton Wilson
I'd say its about time we started taking care of what we feed our Nervous System
Its pretty easy to ignore and forget about isnt it? Unlike the food we eat, there are no nutritional facts on mass media. Those are kept occult. We all have to become a little more psychologically adept in order to create media diets that suit the needs of our Mind Body and Spirit.
Are you willing to do the work of learning? I suggest some basic psychology and The Trvium, as it will teach you how to become a walking bullshit detector and truth seeker.
Our inner harmonies have been hijacked by mostly fantasy, manipulations and outright lies
We have, especially since the advent of network television, been fed a diet of bullshit that has over the last 50 years or so, changed us for the worse. We are to the point today that we ingest more foreign and ingeniously contrived images of reality than we do true reality. Our bodies primed for battle, yet there is rarely battle, and so we suffer many adverse afflictions unbeknownst.
And while we are there screaming about what we are told is news, this precious passion and energy is pointed to matters we have no chance of changing, and not only is this true because the "news" we get is often far removed from the objective truth, but because what the fuck can we change until we master ourselves, taking interest in our personal constitutions and communities first?
I saw a post on Facebook where a girl in Kansas was outraged, admitting to crying, and ready to protest because of a propaganda article about some town in China where people are eating dogs. But here is the thing. She is obese. I think she has bigger issues; pardon the pun. No one is eating the dogs in her town. She will likely never experience it.
Its easy for us to express our anger and contempt for foreign evils, because there is no danger in it. We get the full rush and satisfaction of slashing with the sword of justice. And then, we are emotionally spent, with little to nothing left for the things that count, in the here and now.
Mass media "news" and Pop Culture keep us talking and gossiping about foreign evils and what we may even perceive as some great people, meanwhile, we are empty, and unable to exact any change in our own communities. We gave it all away. We have let decades of fear programming make us cowards, afraid to stand up to our own bullshit and the bullshit of those near us, because getting in the way of these issues may cause real danger. We may actually get hurt.
And who wants to deal with reality when they can "safely" spend their anger on the TV or their news feeds right?
It may be dark in there, but its about time we all started reading some Jung. I cant think of a better mind to help us develop the courage to delve into the dark aspects of our own nature, and find power in them. I think the fear and ignorance of self is the main ingredient to the power of social engineers, and how they prey on our fear.
Lets dive in!

you won't mention how all these media companies are owned by Freemasons and why CBS and Time Warner use the masonic All Seeing Eye, or why FOX is 666 (and its owner also has a paper called The Sun) or why Mtv Studios is a Masonic Temple or why TV anchors throw pyramid signs ....as it shows it's been your Freemasons brothers that have kept the masses brainwashed and in the dark for so long.
the free internet was able to break through the masonic wall of deception and was allowing millions to become awake, and thats why your brothers at Google and Facebook (again masonic symbology in their logos) have started censoring in an attempt to keep controlling the narrative and to keep feeding "the Herde"(shows your contempt for people) garbage.
your brothers keep the masses dumb/ignorant and then laugh at the masses for being dumb/ignorant, and you defend them (seen your other post).
Something I'm really curious about with @docdelux is that he does really well researched and well presented posts, but then leaves out the most important part.
Whether we call them Zionists, Freemasons, Jews, or Illuminati, there is a whopping great system of control in charge of media, "news" government, fear creation, the lot.
He has previously asked why he doesn't get many votes on Steemit and had people say "engage with your audience, reply to comments"
And I would add to that "address the elephant in the room" - perplexing!
yeah It's the Judeo-Masonic network of power. After all the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry has jewish mysticism and the Kabbalah at its core.
Jewish bankers sure have a lot of influence, but it is really not just them.
Till 1776 Freemasonry wasn't that evil (were among the founding fathers), but with the birth of the Illuminati and the opening of Freemasonry to the Jewish bankers and merchants in 1782 it quickly went downhill and has become the global Zionist Mafia we see today. Even opening Freemasonry to the Islamic world wasn't a great idea, they brought the oppressive views of that culture within the mix.
The original Freemasons must be turning in their grave to see what Masons are doing today.
There are so many conflicting opinions on this, but I think deliberately avoiding all discussion of it is the worst possible reaction...
"The main thing that I learned about conspiracy theory is that conspiracy theorists actually believe in a conspiracy because that is more comforting. The truth of the world is that it is chaotic. The truth is, that it is not the Jewish banking conspiracy or the grey aliens or the 12 foot reptiloids from another dimension that are in control. The truth is more frightening, nobody is in control. The world is rudderless"

Noticed the lack of finger-pointing myself.
There's clearly a common thread in who's "running the show" behind the scenes. Why else would their stupid symbols, hand gestures and two-sided stories be on every channel?
I'm always on shill alert and likely always will be.
I've written a post on a worldwide peace meditation happening tomorrow (August 21st). Joining in tomorrow only takes 15 minutes of your time. :)
Good to see others are waking up to the cold hard truth that mass media wants to sap every good thing out of you. I used to remember growing up watching the news because they talked about good things. Now its terrorism, guns, shootings, cops, the next war....
I turn it on to watch the weather, which I can get on my phone 24/7 but I have some fascination from hearing a meteorologist talk about the weekly weather..yea I am weird.
But the rest is pure garbage.... Upvoted, resteemed and followed! :)

My mom was right calling it the brainwash box when I was growing up! Great writing, meaningfull topic, great post.
The key fact about the media:
I was born awake but it took 50 years to realize where I am
Greats post. Upvoted and resteemed. I always tell people that they don't want an educated populace. It's easier to keep us divided than united. What happened in Charlottesville and Trumps reaction today says it all.
That's what most of today's media content, MSM outlets and musicians talk about - garbage and how to control us. The truth is the furthest thing away from their mouths and what they seek is to control more of us and that's the truth.
very educative
upvoted!!
