People sometimes ask me about spiritual teachers and which ones are good and which are bad and how to tell the difference between the two. While there are definitely signs and symptoms of a diseased teacher and teaching, there is one simple thing people can do to keep themselves mentally clear and therefore safe from predatory teachers. I mention this in relation to September eleventh because it is the same thing people can do to begin to think clearly about the world elite and surely to think clearly about the magnitude of what this date represents for us as a culture.
That one thing to DO is to never EVER make excuses for someone else's behavior, furthermore, to never talk yourself out of what you see right in front of you. Never rationalize, spiritualize, minimize any behavior no matter how much “story” so-called spiritual teachers spin to you and their congregations. And no matter what the running narrative is that has come from those in so-called positions of authority/power in society. Both have gone to great lengths to spin their web of deceit into the narrative of the body politic. Its amazing how similar false power functions whether that is on a large or small scale. The tactics are stunningly similar.
Plain and simple you never make excuses for other people. Whether that is in their actions, subtle behaviors, or in their incongruent words. Period. Sounds simple enough doesn’t it? But its amazing how few people actually do this. Truth is there is only half accountability that we can place on people for this sort of “making sense out of nonsense” that humans do....because the processes that is responsible for this is done on a subconscious level and in order to fully free yourself of it, it takes one being ruthlessly committed to rooting out the matrix of it inside the psyche. And cognitive dissonance does leave an energetic matrix behind itself in its path! depending on the level of mind control that someone is under there can be years upon years of belief systems and thinking pathways that are literally held together by cognitive dissonance. It acts as a sort of super glue in the psyche when one is living in a culture or a small inculcated family or group that continuously does not have consistency within their doctrine, actions, and belief systems. When one is in an environment that literally doesn't-make-sense the mind actually has a mechanism that makes that sense for YOU.
When you are faced with such huge divides of perspectives, you either allow this act to happen inside your mind or you fully dissent and rebel against your own identifications, AND the herd, to think for yourself. You have to actually stop cognitive dissonance while in process and reroot your thinking , with the force of your consciousness, back to clear sovereign thinking. You have to do this over and over again until you are free of it. It takes a passionate lover of truth to do this.
Let me explain this process in a different way. I tried to find information online earlier today to share with people but this perspective just wasn't there. So let me offer this new perspective. When you get cut physically, lets say on your arm or leg.....your body has a natural self healing mechanism that kicks into place. Even if you do not clean out the wound of any dirt, bacteria, germs that may of entered upon being cut it will still begin the healing process within a few minutes of the wounding. This is the law of self healing that permeates every aspect of the universe. It will self heal regardless of the puss filled infection brewing just underneath the surface. Similar to that when your psyche is cut by someone else's actions or words ( and naturally with trauma, abuse, or lies) when it is cut by someone ( or even a conceptual idea you are holding inside your identity AS self) when this outside force is held in the light of an authority inside your mind the same self healing process kicks into place within a few minutes. Cognitive dissonance goes into effect when you can not simultaneously uphold the authority figure's story AND the conflictive information available at the same time. So instead of the very painful process of ceasing identification with this outside force, people believe what they are told and embrace the running narrative of the authority figure. Its done subconsciously and its natural, unfortunately.
This is why people can see the buildings coming down in a controlled demolition style and NOT SEE IT right before their eyes! This is why people forget there was even a third building involved! This is why people rallied behind the authority figure and believed the running narrative put out through the news! This is why people continue to follow malignant cult leaders who talk in circles and use "spiritual" donations to live a rock star lifestyle of shooting hgh into their veins, plastic surgery, and ten-thousand- dollar flights to "get to work"! This is why people stay in horrific relationships. This is why people can not leave a religion. This is why people stay asleep! well, its not the only reason, but you get the point. It's very important.
So the next time you feel the impulse to bash people for being ignorant or call them sheeples, lemmings, or some other derogatory name please remember people are awake to the level that they can be without deeper understandings. Of course they DO have free will to self reflect and dissent just like you and I do. I understand the impatience and the anger, even. The impatience and anger is actually a textbook stage of exiting cultic groups. I.E. you've woken up and there is a lot of anger at other people who don’t bloody get it! Why can't people just use the brains given to them and THINK this stuff through! I get it. This impulse has the backdrop of understanding.... that if we can do it, anyone can do it. It also shows a good nature in the desire for people to be living a truly sovereign, free-life, outside of false power structures. But remember that “awakening” is an ongoing process and each of us are integrating understanding to the best of our ability. If we can help the masses of people to break free of cognitive dissonance the job is nearly done, in and of itself. We are truly living in the age of awakening. Get informed, dissent (internally and externally) , rise-up, and speak out!

There are reasons for this classically when reviewing cognitive dissonance. The man who first discovered this inside the mind is Leon Festinger. His understanding was pretty basic and essentially states “inconsistency among beliefs and behaviors will cause uncomfortable psychological tension”. Rather then being in that state of tension cognitive dissonance comes into place and smoothes out the incongruence's inside the psyche. Its basically a psychological explanation of the cliché that The Truth Hurts. People who expounded Leons work added that there had to be an incentive that allowed this processes to be activated. They argue that self motive (self benefit) is the drive that allows it to manifest. While I can see the obvious truth to self motive it gets quite a bit more explosive then that. It goes into the core of a human being far more then “self interest” when identity and identification itself is on the line. I would say that the motive for cognitive dissonance to be activated in the psyche is pure self-identity with a group or system that one has been raised in. If your identity is wrapped up in being an American, a Christian, Advaita Vedantist, so on and so forth....you are going to be grappling with cognitive dissonance when those identities are compromised at any level. The motive for activation is identity itself. That is where I hope the psychological community can start to take this conversation in understanding the power of this natural mechanism in the mind.
