When I Control Your Mind I Control You!
The battle for your mind is a reality - it is the covert war for your thoughts and beliefs!
The Individual versus The Collective
Individual power is being sacrificed at the expense of our civil liberties and for the benefit of the collective - while civilization (for the most part), continues to crumble around us - I am struggling to see the logic in this approach.
Whilst I am, and will remain very committed (and desire) to help others (the collective) - it is important that we don't get swept up in 'groupthink' simply because everyone else or the invisible majority says that we should behave, believe or think a certain way!
Groupthink is a psychological phenomenon that occurs within a group of people in which the desire for harmony or conformity in the group results in an irrational or dysfunctional decision-making outcome. Group members try to minimize conflict and reach a consensus decision without critical evaluation of alternative viewpoints by actively suppressing dissenting viewpoints, and by isolating themselves from outside influences.

Individuals must discover new frontiers and unlock their own power and realities!
Solutions to the problems that we face requires each of us to think for ourselves in a reasonable, logical and un- biased manner - each of us needs be open to outcomes that we do not desire, or expect - and to imagine solutions that haven’t been thought of before.
We cannot keep waiting for other people to find solutions to the problems that we face. We have been conditionded to accept the lie that other people are smarter than us - who are these other people? I'd love to meet some of them - I am not being arrogant, there are many people much smarter than me - I simply want to meet them so that collectively we can help each other! Steem is a great place to find smart people!
Many people live their entire lives (cradle to grave) under the false assumption that their intelligence, reasoning and power of imagination is very limited - that is a lie and a mere by-product of our environment and in particualar the education/indoctrination system which is re-enforced by the media and society at large. This is precisely what the education system, the media, the Gov't and the elites that control the world wants you to beleive and if you keep believing what they tell you - they will continue to control you.
The world keeps trying to brainwash us into believing that we are animals instead of individuals - the world is systematically stealing the power that resides within you!
The world wants you to believe that life is about the species (the group, the collective), not about the individual. The world constantly reminds you of how small, useless and helpless you are. The world is lying to you!
When propagandists get on to a good thing they constantly re-enforce the lie and when you repeat the lie often enough people believe the lie to be true. This is classic conditioning!
You will rarely find a propagandist promoting the message of individualism with anywhere the near same fervor as they promote collectivism, or groupthink. That would be counter-productive to groupthink.
Unfortunately, a growing number of people attack individual power while placing their faith in a program that reduces every human-being down to the lowest common denominator of dependence - that controlling entity is called government and the people, corporations and foundations that control it.
Passivity is a disease. It spreads through society like a parasite with the sole aim of controlling of your mind. This parasite makes strong people weak and weak people blind.
Individual power doesn’t make hardfork distinctions between the individual and the collective. Social engineers and propagandists make those distinctions for us but that is not the reality.
When you exercise your individual power and create the reality that you desire, it spills over, and affects the collective in a positive manner. You have the power within you - please use it to up-lift other people with kindness, empathy and compassion - it will remind them that they too, have individual power. It begins with you the individual and not the collective and that is why we must not lose sight of the individuals that we are and the power that we were destined to have!
Just in case there is any misunderstanding - the ability to find the power that resides within you, to help others and to defend them from oppression is part and parcel of your own power.
If you don't have individual power you cannot help someone else find their own power!
That is why we must fight for our individualism and right to free speech today - if we lose that, we lose everything!
