4 DISORDERS THAT KEEP US TRAPPED IN CONSCIOUSNESS-REGRESSIVE PATTERNS OF CREATION

“How easy it is to make people believe a lie, and how hard it is to undo that work again!”
                                                                                                                       ~Mark Twain

There is a singular, higher-order purpose underlying the ruling class’s use of psychological / genetic manipulation and other control tactics within our reality.
 
Whether or not they are aware of it, the ‘mission’ for many of these human and non-human beings (as well as numerous other non-ruling class individuals) in these versions of themselves in this reality at this time is to create through consciousness-regressive consciousness as part of consciousness’ ongoing process of seeking balanced expression through, within and between its regressive and progressive aspects.
 
It must also be understood that some of the ruling class—both human and non-human—are not in alignment with their mission/purpose for this version of themselves this reality at this time. In other words, they, like many non-ruling class individuals, have been caught in the flow of consciousness-regressive creation which is NOT what Core Self intends for these versions of itself/themselves in this reality at this time.

As a result, this version of our reality has been evolving through an extreme imbalance between consciousness-regressive and consciousness-progressive consciousness, with regressive consciousness being the dominant creational mode.
 
In ‘prior’ evolution cycles, the predominant mode of creation within our reality (or other versions of it) was consciousness-progressive. The fifth principle of creation, the principle of rhythm, states:
 
Everything has its tides which flow in and out. All things rise and fall; the pendulum swing is inherent. Rhythm compensates—the measure of the swing to the right is the measure of the swing to the left.
 
Therein lies the ‘why’ behind the one (or more) ‘subsequent’ consciousness-regressive cycles of evolution through which our reality has unfolded. Both progressive-dominant and regressive-dominant evolution cycles are “venues” through which consciousness, via its myriad expressions, seeks to balance those [two] fundamental aspects of itself.
 
When the collective consciousness and creational energies of a [physical] reality have become either progressive or regressive to the “point of no return”, so to speak, during the course of one or more evolution cycles, that reality, as it was/is, “ceases to exist” when the overarching cycle of "the cycles within the cycle" comes to an end. Either a new version or versions of that reality [begin] unfolding, or its "remnant" energies are transmuted [back] into unexpressed consciousness for unfoldment into new/different expressions of consciousness.
 
Whether the consciousness/energies of an individual being within that reality are transmuted or proceed to a higher-level, equivalent or lower-level density/dimension/reality as another version of Core Self depends upon a combination of many factors. Two of those factors are the individual’s levels of potential (consciousness "units") and vital energy, and to what extent the individual has "progressed" (whether through consciousness-progressive or consciousness-regressive consciousness) during the course of that evolution cycle. Ultimately, Core-Self/Whole of Consciousness has the final “say” in the matter.

SEDUCTION AND ENTRAPMENT

Most, if not all, of the higher-density beings at the pinnacle of the pyramid of control within this reality at this time are very much “in the flow” of their consciousness-regressive roles. As such, they have created, become masters of and constantly work to refine and upgrade myriad tools of manipulation and control designed expressly for the purpose of steering this reality’s “occupants” toward consciousness-regressive creation via their thoughts, emotions and behaviors.
 
The following 4 mechanisms are key prongs in the ruling class’s far-reaching system of manipulation. These disorders handily seduce then ensnare us in egoic traps of consciousness-regressive thought, emotional and behavioral patterns, ensuring our vulnerability to virtually all types of manipulation.

1. SELF-IMPORTANCE

As is the case with all tools of manipulation, self-importance is an ego-centric, thus fear-driven disorder. Those seeking to remove all traces of this disorder from the mind-body complex must come to understand that self-importance has two faces.
 
Its easily recognizable face comprises feelings and attitudes of arrogance, superiority and conceit, in hand with an excessively high regard for one’s significance, circumstances and/or station in life. Its less familiar face comprises feelings and attitudes of meekness, inferiority and servility, in hand with an excessively low regard for oneself, circumstances and/or station in life. Those who believe others are more important or valuable than themselves are also operating (and thus creating) through the consciousness-regressive self-importance disorder.
 
From the moment we come into this reality, we are tended to by parents/family, caregivers, teachers and other authority figures in ways (due to their own conditioning) that overly develop ego and lead us to become egoic self-identified.  Because we are not told and do not remember what we really are, we start taking on distortions (false beliefs) about ourselves that we are somehow either better than others, not as good as others, or some combination of the two. These distortions promote and ultimately instill within us at a deep subconscious level the false belief that ego is, and is meant to be, the guiding force in our lives.
 
When we believe we are either superior or inferior to another/others from one moment to the next, we are operating through the self-importance disorder. Our lives become an ongoing stream of situations, circumstances and interactions with others that trigger within us either “better than” or “less than” thoughts and feelings about ourselves and/or others.
 
These consciousness regressive-imbalanced thoughts and feelings lead to corresponding regressive actions and behaviors. Until we fully remove the self-importance distortion, we continue to create, at least to some extent, through regressive consciousness.
 
A multitude of manipulative techniques are used by the consciousness-regressive ruling class to engender confusion and misunderstandings around the differences between self-importance and real self-love and self-respect. Real self-love is the complete and utter acceptance of yourself just as you are in this moment.
 
Self-acceptance does not mean you don’t see or acknowledge that you might need to make certain thought, feeling or behavioral adjustments as you proceed on your journey of awakening. It means that despite your awareness of the need to make certain adjustments or corrections, you’re also aware of, understand and respect your value as an expression of consciousness, simply because you are an expression of consciousness.
 
You embody the knowledge that you are in no way less (or more) valuable than any other expression—regardless of the progress you have made or have yet to make during the course of your journey.

2. THE PLEASURE PRINCIPLE

Once the self-importance disorder is firmly-established (usually between the ages of 5 and 9) and the individual routinely functions through fear-based, ego-directed patterns of thought, emotion and behavior, he/she becomes by default highly-susceptible to all subsequent ego-centric psychologically- and emotionally-manipulative techniques used by the ruling class to further seduce and more-deeply entrench him/her in consciousness-regressive patterns of creation. 
 
The pleasure principle technique is a cornerstone of the mind control system. Massive amounts of highly-seductive propaganda have convinced a staggering number of the population that the bottom-line reason for existence is to fulfill as many [egoic] desires as possible during this lifetime.
 
As long as they're getting what they need or want, these individuals are content with little or no [real] compassion for the suffering of others. Consciousness, by way of its expressions, persistently coaxes in gentle ways those versions of Core-Self intended for [predominantly] consciousness-progressive creation within this reality at this time.
 
But when the wake-up calls are resisted, ignored or not recognized as being such, those who have been nudged for an extended period of time can suddenly find themselves neck deep in a life-altering event or series of events that cause tremendous, seemingly insurmountable personal suffering.

3. RESISTANCE TO TRUTH BASED ON EGO-DRIVEN PREFERENCES

Truth is truth—regardless of how it "looks" or makes us feel. This disorder that leads individuals to determine the validity of information based upon its “attractiveness" or "ugliness," or how it makes them feel is extremely pervasive because it has been instilled by way of techniques that play into and prey upon [egoic] emotional preferences.
 
This stimulus-response entrainment of society—achieved primarily via mainstream media and "education" systems of Western culture—is a highly-effective means of helping the ruling class fulfill their agenda to regress the consciousness of all within this reality at this time, especially those whose purpose is to bring balance by way of consciousness-progressive creation.
 
Recipients of stimulus-response entrainment are programmed to have predetermined emotional reactions to a wide range of carefully-selected trigger words, phrases, imagery, situations and events.
 
Once an individual is operating from within his/her particular level of psychological "comfort" based in what they feel is true in the world (their perceptions of reality), they are highly averse to hearing anything that jolts them out of those "comfort zones"—even when inner knowing is “telling” them it is the truth.
 
They have been so thoroughly conditioned to accept and function through the "perception is reality" distortion that this state of being is the only "space" in which they feel comfortable. Certain neural patterns that evoke specific [corresponding] emotional patterns have become hardwired in their brains.
 
When confronted with information that elicits feelings which conflict with the hardwired emotional dynamics of their conditioning, these individuals experience a further mind-warping psychological and emotional disorder.

4. COGNITIVE DISSONANCE

The resistance-to-truth form of emotional manipulation gives rise to a psychological condition exhibiting characteristics of apathy, laziness and willfully ignoring reality. Another even more-harmful psychological disorder serves as the glue that essentially holds in place those three self-destructive psychological dynamics, leading in turn to more and more suffering. This disorder is known as cognitive dissonance.
 
Cognitive dissonance causes extreme mental distress and discomfort as a result of lying to oneself, even in the face of abundant evidence that directly contradicts one's currently held beliefs, ideologies or concepts. Mental distress is experienced because the individual is attempting to function through two or more contradictory beliefs, ideologies or concepts simultaneously.
 
Cognitive dissonance is seeing with your own eyes in the world around you the resultant consciousness-regressive consequences of certain actions and behaviors, then deliberately choosing not to acknowledge or accept what you see. Many with this disorder readily admit that even if they were to learn that the truth behind a major world event was in complete opposition to what had been presented to the public, they would simply choose to ignore that truth because it wouldn't be reflective of the kind of world in which they want to live.
 
IGNORANCE IS MISERY
 
Cognitive dissonance is the intentional, deliberate ignoring of reality. It's an essential component in effective mind control because it provides a foundational fixative to which all forms of mind control can easily attach themselves and continually self-disseminate. In other words, cognitive dissonance enables the "stickiness" and ensuing virus-like spread of all methods of mind control within not only the individual, but throughout society.
 
Cognitive dissonance is a serious psychological disorder. Those who deliberately ignore that which is are highly susceptible to believing anything and therefore, to other forms of mind control. Those who are afflicted become self-appointed arbiters of truth, granting themselves the false "right" to determine what reality is, based solely on their [egoic] likes or dislikes and what they're most comfortable accepting as truth.
 
Cognitive dissonance and solipsism—the ideology which asserts the false notions (distortions) that there is no way to actually know the truth and that perception is reality—are the "dynamic duo" of the ruling class’s mind control methodologies. When both are in place within the mind-body complex, the ruling class’s consciousness-regressive agendas are advanced for them by these individuals.
 
Cognitive dissonance is a form of escapism that does not work. It is a completely fear-driven and fear-sustained disorder that shuts down healthy mind-body complex functioning in those who are afflicted.
 
When it is not identified and cleared from the mind-body complex, this disorder severely limits access to inner knowing and can completely block the inflow of the higher-order knowledge and will of Core Self. Afflicted individuals become deeply mired in consciousness-regressive patterns of thought, feeling and behavior, even when this is in complete opposition to Core-Self desire for this version of itself.
 
The result? These individuals are miserable at a very deep, subconscious level causing them to suffer immensely. Even those who know they are on a conscious journey of awakening and have no conscious desire to do so, bring their misery and suffering into the world through their [subconscious] thought, feeling and behavioral energy emanations/creations.
 
Ultimately, they simply fall into the flow of the currently dominant consciousness-regressive state of consciousness and creation in this reality, even when that state isn’t aligned with the individual’s purpose for being here at this time.
