I have a theory that governments stop us evolving by destroying our dreams. I'll explain how.
As a child, I was abused by 'society'. I realize now that one of the purposes of this abuse was to systematically destroy my capacity to dream. Here's how it works:
When a child is sufficiently abused, they repress memory of that abuse. This happens for two reasons:
• The trauma was overwhelming and the nervous system could not process it.
• Nobody around the child will talk about the abuse, so it cannot be stored in the past using the normal medium that humans use to conceptualize the past. Namely: language.
The traumatic material is unprocessed, yet the organism seeks an equilibrium. The child wants to resolve and understand this traumatic material, but the child is thwarted at every turn by the denial around itself.
And so, often, the traumatic experience returns in a codified form in dreams. Causing a road-block.
And this is additionally a problem because almost all children are culturally conditioned to ignore their dreams. Why is this?
Why are we taught to ignore our dreams?
Dream material always poses a threat to authority because dreams are the conduit through which the evolving child maintains contact with realms that lie beyond the narrow spectrum of observable light-based phenomena. In a sense, dreams are the means by which the organism phones-home to the universe.
We can't see much of this world. And even less if we don't dream clearly.
The first thing that an oppressive governing power must do to enslave a population is to discredit and undermine the significance of dreams. Furthermore, in the case of those children who refuse to ignore their dream material, the ruling classes must violently traumatize the child, so that their dreams are polluted with repressed traumatic material that cannot be processed by the developing-child's nervous systems.
In other words, by beating, raping, or otherwise abusing an emerging child, society is able to cause a road-block in the organisms ability to recall, understand and act on dreams.
Once a governing system has destroyed the child's capacity to dream, they can install any nightmare they like in our waking lives. They can conjour up nightmares that keep us afraid: Nightmares of terrorism, war, famine, murder. They know we can't dream ourselves anymore, and in the place of our dreams they give us their dreams: All of them oppressive and fear-based.
Ritual abuse underpins this system of dream-repression
When I was systematically abused by a state-sponsored group of pedophiles at a camp in England (which I wrote about here) one objective seemed to be to destroy any creative expression that I was capable of. This allowed the existing, mundane and unimaginative predator-dominator class to maintain their control over the population.
Just as in the biblical myth where King Herod killed all the male children who might supercede him, so our society enacts its own "Massacre of the Innocents". The only difference between most national governments and Herod is that our governments (in the West at least) use, primarily, psychological abuse.
Government commits this massacre via the school system, overseen by the governing classes. Those that cannot be divorced from their dreams by basic coercion in the traditional school system, are then singled out for trauma-based conditioning by organized pedophile gangs, tacitly endorsed by the state.
King Herod: Wanted to kill all the young males to stop them overthrowing him in the future.
Today our rulers use less visible methods of destroying the next generation
If we are to evolve beyond the predator-dominator paradigm that has been conditioned into us, we must take the following steps as adults:
• Acknowledge the full extent of the conditioning and abuse we were subjected to as children (as opposed to the fabricated picture of childhood presented in family photo albums and other devices of mass-deception).
• Recall and process the early trauma that is blocking our ability to dream and recall dreams.
• Use our dreams to conceive of a better future where equality and compassion are the highest ideal. Instead of the predator-dominator model that values profit and power.
These steps appear simple, but they are the most challenging steps a human being can undertake at this point in history.
For many, freedom from conditioning requires the complete reprogramming of their nervous system, rejection of the family, and rejection of all mainstream societal values. In short, the individual must wake up to the horrifying realization that Nazi Germany was not a historical anomaly which resides in history, but a now-highly-evolved regime of government that many of us actively live under each day.
To wake up within a Nazi society is a very difficult undertaking. Many wish you to go back to sleep. Most of all, perhaps, yourself.
Many powerful people want us to stop dreaming. But we are allowed to dream again.
Sweet dreams.
very interesting proposal with fantastic support. I am aware of much government manipulation, but I have not ever considered this direction of attack. The only thing I am not clear on, is your assertion that they seek to mold us into a predator/dominator model. I have always imagined their efforts through the dumbing down of students in the school an university systems and the support of vapid, empty, biased communication through media and television that they were pushing the average individual toward a compliant, dependent system. They seem to be afraid of those who can care for themselves or think for themselves.
Thanks for reading @drwillwho. And for your thoughtful comments.
I think you're right, there is definitely a dumbing-down process, and an orchestrated conditioning of people into a submissive position; and not necessarily a predator/dominator position. However, I feel that often those who might appear submissive on one level of the constructed hierarchy are acting out their anger at being submissive by dominating others at another level.
One example might be the office worker who is submissive and conforming when confronted by his boss or the painfulness of meaningless work, but then returns home to beat his children.
In other words, the passive, vapid position sometimes means anger is just directed elsewhere, in a dominating, predatory way.
I agree though, there is a nuance here: Those at the top of this pyramid of abuse do not want to instill dominator-predator characteristics in the lower 'castes' against a 'higher' caste. For example: The government does not want us attacking the banking industry.
But they are keen to turn percieved 'lower castes' against each other, to create distraction. Which is, in my view, the central purpose of the Red Team vs Blue Team pantomime of modern politics.
The song below encapsulates my basic feelings on the topic. Thank you so much for provoking some interesting thoughts in me, @drwillwho :)
You are so right to point out the idea that the dumbing down and passifying individuals can absolutely lead to creating a dominance response in other situations as compensation for personal dissatisfaction. I talk often about "Small kings in small kingdoms" to point out that many people are so fractured, that they find their little piece of the world where they have some power, and rather than using it for good and to help others, how often do we find professors, middle managers, security personnel, parents, spouses, etc... using their power to exact vengeance from their subjects in the name of the hurt and impotence they feel against the system that is denigrating them. You make great points!
Because less dreaming means easier control
Thank you for reading, @xoxuxxexaxi
Yes, the less we dream, or remember our dreams, the easier it is for governing powers to force their nightmares on us.
@kida I think most people on the earth are the slaves of politicians and capitalists, they enjoy the process of manipulation. Believe or not, most people hate them but admire them at the same time. The world is full of contradictions, I need a crisp to calm down. 😁
This is so true.
I think so, @hannihealth. Thank you for commenting :)
Sometimes I feel like I have no capacity to create. I have spent so many years in traditional schools that they killed my capacity to generate something new.
For those who are free, what do you dream of?
