If you haven't seen the Matrix then don't bother reading this.
In the Matrix, Morpheous is a great example of someone with inner balance. His humanity and love come through in every scene.
Trinity has good inner balance. Her mantra of 'focus Trinity' helps her to regain her inner balance when fear begins to overpower her humanity.
Neo has no awareness of inner balance. When selling moody software his inner balance is displayed. He could feel scared or fearful but he does not. He retains control over his inner monkey / amygdala / lizard / ancient parts of his brain. So, that is an example of Neo having inner balance.
Neo has two interviews, the first with his boss about time keeping. Neo has inner balance but feels uncomfortable at his boss attempting to be an alpha male. Neo uncomfortably accepts the role of beta but when he returns to his desk he doesn't even bother switching on his work station.
Very quickly his inner balance is shattered as he attempts to escape Agent Smith. His inner monkey is in full ascendance as he attempts to walk along a high ledge to the window cleaners 'lift'.
Many of you might say that it was a scary situation and it was understandable that he was scared. Yes it is understandable but it is also unnecessary. Being scared does not help with cognitive thought or with motor skills. Being scared simply increased his chances of plummeting to his death. Zero inner balance for Neo.
Now he has his second interview, this time with three agents. He maintains a remarkable inner balance for a period before losing it. Again, losing his inner balance and succumbing to fear was entirely reasonable but unnecessary. Contrast this with Morpheous who never lost his inner balance and never succumbed to fear.
All this post is designed to do is to make you aware of when you have inner balance, such that you can detect when you are losing it. To simply sensitise you to yourself.
As the film progresses, Neo does remain composed and competent in ever 'scarier' circumstances. His inner balance maintained despite increasingly harsh environments.
When Neo meets the Oracle, he is over alert. 'Jittery as a dune bug'. This isn't scared but it is not a relaxed state of inner balance either. Perhaps a state of anxiety. Despite the great importance of this meeting, Morpheous remains balanced. Trinity is hardly relaxed either.
Hopefully, as you remember or review the film, you will see these themes played out and be able to relate them to instances in your own life.
Remembering that when Neo believes in himself his inner balance is as strong as Morpheous's.
*****************************************************************************
A question I often ask myself is how profitable / productive / effective would a company be if staffed by people with inner balance, like Morpheous.
Well, an Agent can punch through concrete and dodge bullets. Yet Morpheous went up against one and fought well. He fought effectively. A 'normal' Matrix occupant would have been casually tossed away like a rag doll. Which answers my question.
The alpha males among you might want to run an office of Morpheous / balanced individuals, not realising that this would transform you the alpha into a beta. An alpha male requires you to believe in societies rules more than you believe in yourself. The alphas power is grounded in the rules of society, which is why an alpha male or female is an amusing character to a balanced individual. Rules of society are merely controlling mechanisms to turn a human being into a member of the public. An alpha is a member of public and as such will never be as powerful as a human being can be.
To a Morpheous character / balanced individual an alpha male is a comedic figure. As is any 'authority' figure. Even the Oracle never expected Morpheous to do anything other than 'make up his own mind'.
OK, so which character do I associate with?
An early Neo?
Trinity?
Morpheous?
Or the 'One'?
Well, simply put, we are all the 'One'.
We are all born as Morpheous, trained to be early Neo's which we may overcome with age and experience back into Morpheous's.
As for the 'One', he is designed to make a choice that only he can make. Hence the name the 'One'.
In the film this choice boils down to one thing, what does he love the most. The entirety of mankind or Trinity?
The One decides that he doesn't believe this choice. No fear and no doubt. The consequences of being wrong are as high as they could possibly be and yet his inner balance remains. The 'One' chooses to be a Morpheous, confirming that we are all the 'One'.
Remembering now that Neo was correct. The 'Architect' wrong. The Oracle could not see the 'happy ending' but she did believe and in doing so became a Morpheous herself.
The story boils down to one of choice. We all have a choice regardless of not being aware of that choice.
We can choose to be that which we are or we can continue to play the 'society' game and suffer the consequences.
************************************************************************
There are three Matrix films and I suggest you watch them all. Although Neo shows most growth in this, the first film. Trinity develops over all three.
Agent Smith is interesting. He and Morpheus seem similar. Both start with permanent inner balance. Agent Smith, a sentient program, develops hate and in doing so loses inner balance. Morpheous, has love in abundance and his inner balance is untroubled by thoughts, actions, the past, present or the future.
****************************************************************************
There are many other 'cult' films that I could 'explain' in terms of inner balance. However, there is a difference between knowing the path and walking the path.
I humbly suggest that you develop your capacity for love and inner balance together, it is easier as they both compliment and reinforce each other.
However, you are free to choose to suffer.
The journey and the destination?

Well, that was an interesting week - UK
This week Theresa May and Boris Johnson were both managed beautifully by the gentlemen of the Mi6. As were the UK public and media.
Now that I have regained my inner balance and reviewed the weeks happenings, it all becomes crystal clear. The Mi6 have performed their duty flawlessly. It is highly probable that in a few years time we are going to have one of two problems. The ageing infrastructure of our privatised energy networks will start to collapse. Now, we cannot have the UK public blaming the UK government for this. Our society depends upon us believing a whole raft of things. One of these is that our government is honest, fair and without them we would be infested with raging gangs of murderers and rapists.
There is also a chance that the value or worth of our currency suddenly starts to be worth less far quicker than we are used to. As we import a lot of energy then expect your energy bill to go from less than 10% of your earnings to 40% or more. Now, we cannot have the UK public blaming the UK government for this. Our society depends upon us believing a whole raft of things. One of these is that our government is honest, fair and without them we would be infested with raging gangs of murderers and rapists.
Now, one of the many functions of the Mi6 is to ensure continuity of government, especially the UK government. The possibility of the two events I mention above is not particularly high yet but the consequences of the UK members of public blaming the UK government for destroying their standard of living is a serious matter. The members of public might start wondering if government is actually of any value to anybody. The Mi6 need a 'scapegoat', a role that had been assigned to single mums, then muslims, then terrorists has now landed at Vladimirs feet.
May and Boris have succeeded in making themselves look silly or strong depending upon your preference. However, in Russia, Putin has a massive approval rating and 'coincidentally' has just been voted into office for another six years. As I say, well done Mi6.
Higher order analysis now reveals that Putin is forced into a corner. As Europe buys lots of gas from him, he will have difficulty increasing the price of our gas to 40% plus of our earnings because he knows that the public will choose to believe the pound still has value and Putin is being Evil. The pound or Euro, same sort of thing. As I say, Mi6 has executed their function flawlessly.
This is a two for one, because when our crumbling energy infrastucture fractures, Putin will be blamed for that too.
Now, I am not saying that the Mi6 were responsible for the recent nerve gas attack. I have already stated that it was the CIA. Mi6 just nodded and winked. In other words, quietly accepted that it was necessary for the continuity of government. The Mi6 may have helped a little bit because the CIA tend to be a bit clumsy.
Anyway, the point of me writing this was to help prevent a brief nuclear exchange between Russia, Europe, America, the UK and potentially China too. Just to continue the illusion that without government we would be infested with raging gangs of murderers and rapists.

Well, it was a very interesting week. I feel that I am far stronger for experiencing it.
I have a personal message for the gentlemen of the Mi6. Creating fear is an act of utter cowardice.
Now, they won't be able to understand that simple sentence because of their cognitive dissonance. So, instead let me say this, well played gentlemen, you play the pointless game with great elegance.
As always, the Mi6 and the CIA believe that they do whatever is necessary for the good of society and they are both correct. The Mi6 and CIA are both tasked at maintaining the continuity of government at any cost. As I have stated before society is government and banking.
Well played gentlemen, God has the patience and time to explain your foolishness to you but I doubt you could ever believe Him. In terms of cognitive dissonance, Mi6 and the CIA are in the premier league.
Peace out people and sorry for alarming you about WW3
Fear of WW3 is a tool of government, as is the idea that without government we would be infested with raging gangs of murderers and rapists.
Be seeing you

Striving toward inner balance to help create and enjoy your own reality
Great title, I just need to write the post. This shouldn't be too difficult as I am already enjoying creating my own reality. Actually, I am continuously creating many realities. You may call this 'seeing things from differing points of view'. Currently, I am enjoying a harmony of realities including other peoples.
Take care and have fun
Be aware that this post is a 'work in progress' and by no means finished.
First of all, please allow me to explain what I actually mean by the words I selected in the title.
Inner balance.
In times of great stress and danger, people have described an inner balance, an inner calmness, where perhaps time has slowed down and they were able to do something astonishing with absolute confidence.
Hopefully, you can remember a time in your life where you surprised yourself with how confidently and calmly you did something that you believed was beyond your capability.
Perhaps you have a job or hobby, an aspect of which is repetitive. When performing this task you occasionally or often enter a state of 'flow' where you perform flawlessly, with calmness and serenity.
Many people use meditation to enter this state of inner balance. Either by relaxing and enjoying a gentle calmness or by being highly aware of their surroundings or their breathing or of sounds or of sensations. The dynamic range of 'inner balance' is vast.
Personally, I can often achieve an inner balance by writing, mindful meditation, driving, washing the dishes or my car and my motorbike. Cleaning the bathroom, vacuuming and riding my motorcycle are things that I do regularly that enable me to enter a state of inner balance.
I once watched Ayrton Senna describe an 'inner balance' he experienced during a Formula One race at Monaco. He described it as a flow. A hyper awareness of what his vehicle was doing and going to do along with his competitors. Basically, with calmness and 'inner balance' he just overtook everyone. This was on a track that is famous for being very difficult to overtake on.
I hope I have managed to convey the general idea of what I mean by the two words 'inner balance'. This inner balance can be achieved in a variety of environments, to laying down on your bed and not moving, to performing a simple task, to performing a very demanding task such as motor racing.
Just reading these words is not going to achieve anything. You need to stop and think for yourself. Have you ever achieved this 'inner balance'? If you have only done it once, you ought to reflect upon the 'feeling' and re-live the experience in your mind. Not just once but often.
The task here is to practice 'inner balance' several times each day. This could be perceived as a chore or as a luxury. Currently, I am pressing keys on a keyboard. I am sat down. My girlfriend is playing some silly game on her laptop. The cat is purring next to her. A sink full of dirty dishes are screaming for my attention. Is that my current reality? No, I am currently enjoying a state of inner balance. That is how I have chosen to perceive my current reality.
Achieving 'inner balance' is not a competition. Absolute inner balance is not the goal either. Neither is achieving your 'best' inner balance ever. Duration is not the goal, I can stop writing whenever I choose without guilt or feeling of failure. The aim is to simply practise for a moment or two, as often as you see fit. Depending upon your current circumstances this may be easy, difficult or practically impossible. I humbly suggest you start practicing inner balance in an environment that you feel is probably the easiest.
The key words in the above paragraph are 'reasonable' and 'practise'. The aim or goal is to simply regularly practise attempting to achieve a reasonable inner balance. There is no success or failure. There is no point to recording how often you practise or how often you achieve a reasonable inner balance. However, you are you and you have freewill. If you wish to keep records or write an APP, then do so. It is your choice, there is always a choice.
Striving
In choosing to use the word 'striving' I do imply that effort is needed. However, one or two of my mentors would argue that you must not strive in this. So who is right? Well they are both correct and so am I. You need to make a choice. Do you want to create and enjoy your own realities? Do you believe you can? Do you believe that this is possible or that I am doing it? Don't concern yourself with that yet. Do you believe that regularly practising to achieve an 'inner balance' is of any value to you whatsoever? The only effort you need expend is in whether or not regularly experiencing an inner balance is a luxury to enjoy or a chore to endure?
Feel free to ponder this at length. Once you have chosen to believe that it is a luxury, then your 'striving' is at an end. You will simply regularly enjoy the luxury of practising. Should you choose to believe that this is a chore, then your 'striving' will continue.
What is right for you is right for you. Chore or luxury, the choice is yours. Strive or enjoy. The reality of whether you practise inner balance as a chore or luxury is an example of creating your own reality.
I feel that I have given you a great deal to think about. I have spent the entirety of this time in a state of inner balance. I didn't strive to do this, I just allowed it to happen. I will cease writing shortly for an unknown and unknowable period of time. I really do have a sink full of dirty crockery to clean. Now, is this a chore or another opportunity to allow myself the luxury of enjoying an inner balance, a flow of consciousness where I just wash the dishes? Ultimately, the dishes will be cleaned and I really don't know how I will perceive the reality of washing the dishes. I know only this, I won't condemn myself to only experiencing the reality of cleaning the dishes as a chore. I am open to the possibility that I will enjoy a state of reasonable inner balance whilst cleaning our used crockery.
Until next time, as always - you take care.
I enjoyed a harmony of realities whilst cleaning a weeks worth of dirty dishes. I had many trains of thought whilst 'washing the pots'. Many focused on the times during the week when my inner balance was lost and I was upset, angry or annoyed. These were all at work over matters so trivial that it is quite amusing to recall them. I won't try to do better. Yoda tells us that there is no try, just do or do not. As I become frustrated or angered I will just accept the emotion. Simply sample the emotion and enjoy the reality that is revealed to me. Another lesson to be experienced. My inner balance might remain intact or it might not. Only time will reveal this to me, not thought or worry or imagination, just time.
As I write this I recall several instances of annoyance over politicians actions and the reaction of reporters and TV presenters. This annoyance completely destroying my inner balance. This is understandable but not necessary. As I have made a choice to enjoy maintaining an inner balance, I will continue to do so whilst the completely unbalanced attempt to unbalance everybody else. This is another example of choosing to create my own reality. Once again, I have chosen an enjoyable reality, one where I am free to enjoy life and to sample experiences as I wish too.
I have changed the reality of dreading a nuclear exchange to a reality where I look forward to experiencing how this 'external situation' develops. I have exchanged a dreadful reality for an interesting reality. In this way I am creating a harmony of realities of my own choosing. Rather than being swept along on an emotional roller coaster by 'external events', politicians and significant others.
My thoughts now are to the coming week at work, should I find myself maintaining an inner balance throughout the week, will my colleagues notice? How will they experience me? As I change my reality, do I change theirs? I have no concerns whatsoever. My harmony of enjoyable realities will no doubt sit well with their own.
You take care and no doubt I shall write more later. Feel free to contact me with anything you wish to share. davidwatkinson1@hotmail.co.uk remembering that electronic communication is not secure.
Well, that was an interesting week. I maintained an inner balance Monday and Tuesday, which felt both easy and natural. Wednesday and Thursday my inner monkey rampaged a little bit. Friday was lining up to be a disaster. Thursday night I was imagining how annoying Friday was going to be. Then I made two decisions. One was to enjoy Thursday night, so I did. The other was to enjoy Friday, so I did. On Friday my monkey made one harsh comment which I regretted before completing the sentence. I didn't apologise but I did make up for it, in my mind, with kind deeds, words, actions and attentiveness. This fully restored my inner balance and my monkey feels foolish rather than witty, clever and powerful. This is an important step for me. I thought my power came from having an inner 800lb gorilla instead of an inner cappuccino monkey like most people. Power has shifted from my inner monkey to my inner human. I believe that this will help tremendously in maintaining an inner balance next week. As always time reveals all at her own pace and the universe supplies a never ending range of 'lessons' for us all to sample and experience. Be seeing you.
*****************************************************************************
Well the universe took up my challenge and sent a diverse range of 'lessons' my way. One of my 'favourites' was a mouse eating my pasta and creating an utter mess in my dried food cupboard. Tidying that led to a shelf collapse, dropping flour, salt and sugar onto my carpet and smashing a highly valued plate that cannot be replaced. It also delayed my evening meal by one hour. As this was happening, the clocks went forward one hour. The universe is not without a sense of humour.
Anyway, unbelievably or believably, lots more things happened and didn't happen. Lots and lots. Too many to list. However, my inner balance maintained itself all week.
Today, coincidentally, is 30th March 2018 and I was born on 30th March 1969. On my birthday I generally review my life and decide what has gone wrong and what I should be doing. Well, a great deal of stuff has happened and a far greater amount of stuff has not happened. That is it really. There is no success and no failure.
You might guess that I don't sit well in society. Well, no I don't. However, society is what it is. A mixture of things happening and not happening. So be it.
The two words that define my personal birthday review are 'best' and 'success'. First of all I am changing out the word 'best' for reasonable. I don't need the best car, best house or best watch or best clothes or best shoes or best life. A reasonable one is far more enjoyable and engaging. Second, 'success'. What a word 'success' is. Forget about it. Just decide what experiences you would like to sample and be open to them happening. You could consider improving the odds of sampling these experiences in any reasonable way possible or not. The universe will provide you with a great many experiences regardless.
My IQ is sufficiently high that I can do anything - according to Jordan P Peterson. He is essentially correct. I am and have been doing for 49 years.
The pay off for having a reasonable understanding or feel for what I write about can be summed up in just two words. These two words are most definitely not 'best' and success'. The two words you will own are 'power' and 'confidence'.
What a gift I have given myself on my 49th birthday. Power and confidence, all born from having an inner balance achieved by doing what I wrote about in my trilogy of books one year or so ago. (Today of all days and for the first time, all three books are free.)
Power and confidence, is what I have gained. Recall a time when your power and confidence peaked. Well, you can have that all the time. The peak of your past will be the low of your future.
But what have I lost?
Two things would be good, for balance. :-)
One is fear, the other is time. I should have been taught all this at school when I was 8, 12, 15, 17 & 20
Priests should teach it as part of the preliminary talks you get before traditional Christian marriage and Judges should teach it before the trial starts. Prisons should excel at teaching it.
Could have, should have and would have. The future is yet unwritten and the past is as we remember it.
I am going to spend a few minutes thinking of my experiences with a very strong female character, my friends mum, Sheila. I will share a few things with you first. She was a prison officer and could project power and confidence with apparent ease. She made friends easily but could easily over power many with the sheer force of her will. I liked her. My favourite was, as a child she saw a big house. Five bedrooms with three 'bathrooms'. She decided, as a young girl, that she was going to live there and have lots of children. She did and it was her first and only home.

Today, coincidentally, is 30th March 2018 and I was born on 30th March 1969. On my birthday I generally review my life and decide what has gone wrong and what I should be doing. Well, a great deal of stuff has happened and a far greater amount of stuff has not happened. That is it really. There is no success and no failure.
You might guess that I don't sit well in society. Well, no I don't. However, society is what it is. A mixture of things happening and not happening. So be it.
The two words that define my personal birthday review are 'best' and 'success'. First of all I am changing out the word 'best' for reasonable. I don't need the best car, best house or best watch or best clothes or best shoes or best life. A reasonable one is far more enjoyable and engaging. Second, 'success'. What a word 'success' is. Forget about it. Just decide what experiences you would like to sample and be open to them happening. You could consider improving the odds of sampling these experiences in any reasonable way possible or not. The universe will provide you with a great many experiences regardless.
My IQ is sufficiently high that I can do anything - according to Jordan P Peterson. He is essentially correct. I am and have been doing for 49 years.
The pay off for having a reasonable understanding or feel for what I write about can be summed up in just two words. These two words are most definitely not 'best' and success'. The two words you will own are 'power' and 'confidence'.
What a gift I have given myself on my 49th birthday. Power and confidence, all born from having an inner balance achieved by doing what I wrote about in my trilogy of books one year or so ago. (Today of all days and for the first time, all three books are free.)
Power and confidence, is what I have gained. Recall a time when your power and confidence peaked. Well, you can have that all the time. The peak of your past will be the low of your future.
But what have I lost?
Two things would be good, for balance. :-)
One is fear, the other is time. I should have been taught all this at school when I was 8, 12, 15, 17 & 20
Priests should teach it as part of the preliminary talks you get before traditional Christian marriage and Judges should teach it before the trial starts. Prisons should excel at teaching it.
Could have, should have and would have. The future is yet unwritten and the past is as we remember it.
I am going to spend a few minutes thinking of my experiences with a very strong female character, my friends mum, Sheila. I will share a few things with you first. She was a prison officer and could project power and confidence with apparent ease. She made friends easily but could easily over power many with the sheer force of her will. I liked her. My favourite was, as a child she saw a big house. Five bedrooms with three 'bathrooms'. She decided, as a young girl, that she was going to live there and have lots of children. She did and it was her first and only home.

Cognitive Dissonance - example three David Icke
Cognitive Dissonance is created when we absolutely believe something that we know isn't true. Then cognitive dissonance supplies us with all the answers as to why the untrue thing we wish to believe is actually true.
Hopefully, that did not make any sense whatsoever. Which fully describes what cognitive dissonance is. A great deal of stress, anger and violence is created by our cognitive dissonance. On a personal and societal level.
I want to make this absolutely clear. Dissipating the cloud of cognitive dissonance that surrounds you is not easy and when it is gone you ought to expect a significant impact on your psychological well being. I have had several overlapping but separate clouds of cognitive dissonance enveloping me. Dispersing one left me feeling disorientated, unreal and ungrounded for around three months. However, the first was the most traumatic and I did have a David Icke moment, this lasted around one year.
So, who is this David Icke? Well, from memory, he was a BBC sports pundit who managed to disperse his cloud of cognitive dissonance on the TV. It wasn't easy viewing. He gave every appearance of being a lunatic having some sort of nervous breakdown. The BBC did nothing to stop us thinking that. In fact, they encouraged it. In public David Icke was laughed at and ridiculed. Not the best thing to happen when everything you believe in but know isn't true is suddenly revealed to you as not being true.
If you Google David Icke you will discover him meeting with people all over the world and giving talks about Rothchilds, Banking, Sumerians, bloodlines and insisting that what we call reality is just waves of energy. I think I have heard him mention Lizard people and the Masons. I would like to meet him and I know we would chat for hours. I would try and convince him that I am right and he would, most likely, explain to me why he is right. Fundamentally, we are in agreement. I mention the essential difference later on in this post.
Society labels David Icke as a consiracy theorist and border line lunatic but largely ignores him. This is the way of things. Society is the product of our collective and individual cognitive dissonance so why would it embrace those who see through the lies / illusion?
David Icke was the first person that caused me to evaluate the world around me. This was over one quarter of a century ago. He has developed his views since then, probably. I agree with him on the key points but we do have differing opinions. I feel that he is almost right but that I am actually right. The differences matter to me but is of no consequence to anyone else.
The point of this is to state that losing your cognitive dissonance will be really disorientating and society will not help you evolve into that what you ought to be, a human being without cognitive dissonance. If anything society will want you back into its grips, failing that, discredit you. David Icke is a very public example of that.
The major problem with conversing with someone about this topic, who is a member of society / fully cognitive dissonant, is that it is impossible. I had another go around one hour ago. Utterly pointless.
I write these posts for many reasons. Reasons, within reasons, within reasons. Two of them are to delay / prevent WW3 and the other is to gift your children with Heaven On Earth. You may feel that these objectives are beyond the power of one man and you would be wrong. These objectives feel entirely reasonable for a being of my power and capability. Now, your cognitive dissonance will be telling you that I am a lunatic. Well, that is your concern and not mine. I am merely stating that this very same power that flows through my being is readily available to you to. It just is.
You cannot have this truly outstanding God like awareness and be cognitive dissonant. So, the choice is yours. At least for now. Cognitive dissonance allows you to ignore reality but the consequences of ignoring reality become increasingly dangerous as time passes. Tick, tock.

David Icke believes that a few bloodlines have willfully dominated us for thousands of years. He is wrong.
We have forced them to dominate us for thousands of years. (We like the sweet, comforting lies.)
The moment we stop forcing them to dominate us is the instant that they no longer have the power to dominate us. Our individual power rises up to meet theirs. One on one, our power is equal. We out number them by hundreds of millions to one, so we win. When you think of these elite, know this, I am one.
I have no idea how you will perceive that last paragraph through your cognitive dissonance cloud. I am not interested either. As I stated earlier, discussing this stuff with members of the public is futile. Discussing it with those who are beginning to believe what their eyes see and ears hear is wondrous.
You are a wondrous being. Society is merely the reflection of our amygdala. Civilisation a reflection of our humanity. Both society and civilisation exist simultaneously. Currently society appears far stronger but civilisation is in ascendance.
Society is founded on fear.
Civilisation is seeded around love.
Our amygdala creates fear.
Our humanity creates love.
We need to be mindful in creating a balance.
I am fairly confident that Jesus has already explained all this to us. Perhaps seeing with our eyes is insufficient. Hearing with our ears is not enough. We need to expend effort actually looking and listening. However, through our cognitive dissonance clouds we do not realise that there is a difference between an actual human being and a member of public. A member of the public is enthralled by his amygdala which is ten times more powerful than his / her humanity. A human being is simply aware, in real-time, of his / her amygdalas strength and influence.
Anyway, buy my books and read them because they are designed to help you manage your transition from a member of public enthralled with society / your amygdala to an inherently powerful and self aware human being fully capable of realising such objectives as creating Heaven On Earth.
Again, I could go on but only human beings without cognitive dissonance will fully understand the concepts that I am attempting to describe, mostly. The others will 'know' or 'believe' that I am writing all this for wealth, fame and 'whatever'. Or perhaps to 'trick' you into wasting two of your bank credits and make you feel foolish. (It is actually your amygdala that makes you feel foolish.)
I ought to charge 1,000 bank credits for each of my three books.
However, on March 30th two or three of the trilogy will be free to celebrate my 49th birthday.
Best of luck regaining control of your amygdala / inner monkey / lizard / ancient parts of your nervous system / or whatever you wish to call it.

Cognitive Dissonance - example two (Why is Putin so evil) Ver 1.1
So, how did you react to the title?
*************************************************************************
Putin is both powerful and capable. It takes one to know one. You could be one too.
You looking for 'proof' that Putin is evil?
Or did you assume that I was either joking or an idiot?
Well, I was joking.
With cognitive dissonance you 'know' Putin is evil.
Without cognitive dissonance, you need to do some research and decide for yourself how evil or not Putin really is.
Critical thought requires us to ask, why is Putin being portrayed as a one of the Devils own?
The human brain loves the unknown, surprises, adventures and mysteries.
The ancient parts of our brain (Amygdala etc) does not.
You can tell when a 'society' is under the influence of the ancient parts of our brain by comparing adults with children. Children love the unknown, surprises, adventures and mysteries. Adults fear it.
Western 'society' is thoroughly saturated with the effects of the amygdala. Take Mrs May, for example. Is she a young at heart, fun loving woman who runs joyously through wheat fields as she did when younger. No and this does not surprise anybody who is excessively controlled by their amygdala / inner monkey / ancient parts of the brain.
Your inner monkey has a very playful side and you ought to encourage this. However, this side is very much dominated by the fearful side of our inner monkey.
I really don't care to read about your 'explanations'. I truly don't. You are just wrong.
Now, what about Putin? Is he evil?
No, just capable and powerful and not under the control of his inner monkey. I know this because the UK isn't a lifeless landmass. Well, not yet anyway. things can change. Has he a fun side? Have you not seen the pictures of him riding horses and fighting bears?
Or collective and individual cognitive dissonance arises due to the imbalance of our inner playful monkey, our inner scared monkey and our humanity. All three need to be properly functioning and balanced. Our 'society' requires us to accept a rigid hierarchical system and that only happens if our inner scared monkey is excessively stimulated.
Is Putin trying to excessively stimulate our scared inner monkey or is he doing everything he can think of to not stimulate our scared inner monkey?
No, Treasonous May is trying to over stimulate our scared inner monkey. What happened to all the terrorist threat alerts? Well, we took no notice of them. Unlike our American cousins. So, now we have a new 'threat', Putin.
Seriously people, if you think as I then please laugh at your colleagues who believe the 'official' narrative that Putin is some sort of enemy. Do it as though your way of life depended upon it as it might do sooner than we think.
Have you decided who the enemy is yet? Look in the mirror because it is you.
Spend a moment imagining how joyous the world would be if our inner scared monkey rarely bothered seizing control of our bodies and minds. It would be Heaven On Earth.
Cognitive dissonance will be telling you various things, what about rapists and burglars in this Heaven On Earth nonsense I am writing about? Well, they would NOT be tolerated. What about liars and cheaters? They would be excluded. Your disbelieving cognitive dissonance will want to know one thing, how? Easily.
Once you start to believe in what I write, you will start to believe in yourself. You will believe in and rely on your own abilities to detect liars, rapists, the selfish, psychopaths, the violent and the deranged. You will choose not to associate with them.
Today, your child care provider needs a government certificate. In the future, you will laugh at the stupidity of this concept. You will only consider leaving your children with people that you and your group are happy with. Poor child service providers will receive far less business than the good ones. Child care service providers who enjoy paedephilia will not be protected by the due process of government 'law'.
Again, your cognitive dissonance will be screaming at you that I am 'whatever'. Any explanation about me will ease your mind. The reality of the situation is that I have put together a collection of shapes for you to interpret as best you can. Reality should be obvious to you but as Jesus said, please trust your own eyes and ears. He said nothing about having a government approval to do this.
Peace out people
Please remember that I am making general points and not stating absolute facts about anything. My lack of budget (time) means that I don't fact check. I have a 'proper' job, absorbing time, and this ain't it.
Be seeing you
**********************************************************************
Update 1.1
You might be beginning to appreciate why we like our cognitive dissonance so much. Without cognitive dissonance you have to do your own due diligence. You are responsible for all your decisions. You cannot blame 'the government' for your own poor choices. You have to actually educate your own children. You have to take responsibility for your banking, savings and investments. Basically, you have to be a human being and not a member of the public.
Before you decide that life is OK as it is, heed this warning well my friend. Cognitive dissonance allows you to completely ignore reality. That is fine, that is your choice. Cognitive dissonance does not allow you to ignore the consequences of ignoring reality.

Cognitive Dissonance - example one (Putin and the nerve gas) UPDATED 1.1
From my perspective, the effect of cognitive dissonance in the general population is profound. All members of the public are mentally crippled. It really is that simple and utterly unbelievable. The reverse is also true. Many will find that the example I give of cognitive dissonance below unbelievable. Just two of many reactions will be that I am a conspiracy theorist or overly imaginative.
Let us start there. The term 'conspiracy theorist' was brought into our collective consciousness by the American Intelligence Services, I will call them the C.I.A. In a publicly available memo, the CIA suggest the phrase be used to label and undermine anyone who deviated away from the official JFK narrative.
The Government gives its spin on something or other and those who question it are called 'conspiracy theorists'. In the old days, they were called reporters. Today, the CIA help shape the narrative our reporters give us as and act as analysts and special advisers for government.
I haven't actually got to the example yet but how are you finding the above information? Far fetched or obvious? Do you want to know where my 'proof' is or do you wish me to get to example one of cognitive dissonance?
Do you know that 10% of our population are so crippled by cognitive dissonance that they simply are not able to think a problem through to its solution? They get IQ scores below 83. Cognitive dissonance causes great internal stress and the amygdala releases cortisone which causes lots of unhappy symptoms, many of which accelerate your aging. When I write something, it really is in your best interest to attempt to understand it. Your cognitive dissonance reduces your IQ and ages you at an accelerated rate. Now, who doesn't want to age slower and be able to think clearer and be far more content and feel capable, confident and powerful?
How many reactions have you had so far to this post? None would be good other than get on with it as all this is obvious.
Example one.
This morning on BBC radio news I was informed of something so utterly unbelievable I was struck dumb by how crippling cognitive dissonance is at the BBC and in British Government as well as the US government. This is actually important as I wish to avoid or at least delay a nuclear themed World War Three.
Apparently, Theresa May has decided that Russia has been naughty and has 24 or is it 36 hours to admit their guilt. Russia, a significant player in the world of Military Power and allied to China. Now in the UK, Russia supply us with gas to heat our homes and China provides us with loads of stuff to put into our homes. America supplies us with 'nothing'? Anyway, Russia has either lost control of nerve gas or used it to kill a dodgy spy in the UK. That's it. We are accelerating towards WW3 without much in the way of 'evidence'.
Unbelievable. Litvenko was mentioned. Another dodgy spy killed with pollonium or some such like. The narrative put forward by govt and the media (CIA) is that Putin did it.
Imagine that you are Putin. You go on record as saying that there are 100 dodgy spies that shouldn't be on Russian soil because they have betrayed their country men. He said, on record, that they deserve to be strangled. This is verifiable, if you are able to think, reason and research using the publicly available official records on the internet. Now, the rest of the world swapped some spies with Russia including the dodgy spy killed with nerve gas. Are you understanding this yet? Putin has basically said, rather kindly, get these traitors out of my country or they will be strangled. So, the US and UK swapped some spies over. If Putin wanted Litvenko or the other chap dead, they would not have been offered for swap, they would already have been strangled.
I don't have any problem with this. From the James Bond films we know spies have cyanide capsules in case of capture and all one hundred were captured but didn't feel the need to take the cyanide capsule. This implies that they weren't really expecting to be tortured or mistreated too badly. Or perhaps the MOD had mistaken cocaine for cyanide? I jest. Regardless, Putin has told everybody not crippled by cognitive dissonance what is going to happen and why, without threats.
So, who exactly could spend millions of dollars obtaining very difficult to acquire chemical agents and nuclear isotopes and then plant lots of stories in the media and advise the UK and US govts that Putin definitely did it?
I have no idea, other than the CIA. Another interesting point was that BBC Radio News also mentioned that Litvenko died in an equally imaginative and expensive way. Did you know that two dodgy spies were poisoned with the pollonium stuff? Just weeks apart? Course not. The other spy, as he lay dying in an appallingly horrific and slow way, was asked on camera if he believed that Putin had ordered his death. Despite intense pain and the sure knowledge that he was going to suffer far more agony before his death - he laughed. His response was no. The likelihood of Putins involvement was zero. He had no doubts at all on this subject.
Are you able to research independently or do you feel my version makes far more sense than the official narrative? Putin had these dodgy spies in his custody. None had bothered with the cyanide pill. Putin said they would be strangled if they remained on Russian soil. Two of these dodgy spies were, years later, killed on UK soil in the most expensive way possible. As opposed to being strangled.
Just for a moment allow yourself to believe that Putin ordered these retired dodgy spies to be killed and they were all strangled on UK soil by whoever you like. Would anyone care? Would it make the news? Some old KGB spy strangled in his living room? No. No. No. It only makes the national news if they die in some bizarre and horrific way.
This is all obvious to anyone not suffering with cognitive dissonance. It really is. Putin keeps making speeches at how he struggles to believe the mentality of the UK and US govt and the media in the US and the UK. Perhaps listen to them?
Most people, will struggle to accept any of the above. Which is example one of cognitive dissonance.
***************************************************************************
Well, did you like my version of the 'truth'. Did you prefer the official govt narrative?
My version is harmless and offends no-one. I am happy for Putin to read this whilst in the company of his security team and to patiently await his response. If he orders my execution, how long will his people have to come up with a bizarre and ridiculously expensive way of killing me? A method costing at least one million dollars as per someone like the fictional character Dr Evil in an Austin Powers film.
The official story, if everyone accepts it without comment, sets us further along the path to a nuclear themed world war three. The UK and US vs China, Russia and Germany.
If I am, more or less, correct - why would the CIA spend 2 - 3 million dollars killing three dodgy spies and stage manage the narrative that Putin did it?
Well, that is easy to answer. What reason did the US Govt give for 'Putins actions'? DESTABILISATION. So, there you go the CIA did it to destabilise the UK and EUROPES economic ties to Russia. As well as attempting to coerce China into choose to side with the US or Russia. Destabilising the entire world.
What, exactly, is your cognitive dissonance telling you about that? Perhaps, why would the CIA want to destabilise the entire world? Well, they are and I don't think answering 'why' is particularly important.
I know exactly what your cognitive dissonance is demanding. Exactly. How? It doesn't matter. Your cognitive dissonance will believe none of my version until it is given a reasonable explanation as to why would the CIA do all this. So, if I tell you, all you are going to review is my explanation. No. No. No. This blog is called Critical Thought, so go do some.
NB When I refer to the CIA I more specifically mean the small group of influential men who 'guide' American Intelligence. Men who have massive financial interests in mankind remaining crippled by cognitive dissonance. They do not prevent me reaching my goal of creating Heaven On Earth, every member of the public does. This small group of men will never acknowledge me or admit to any CIA connection. Amazingly, they suffer from cognitive dissonance too! (The truth makes no sense.)
How much actual reality / truth can you cope with?
*************************************************************************
The world really is this easy for me to understand.
Theresa May (and her cabinet and advisers) and Trump (and his team) are clueless and yet you insist that they take your wealth and do all the critical thinking for you. They are and you are all suffering from cognitive dissonance.
This can change and will change. For the better or for the worse. The person in the mirror decides your future.

*******************************************************************
UPDATED 1.1
update 14th March 2018
The deadline passes and Theresa May continues to walk down a dark and dangerous path. At this point MI6 will have advised her on how to proceed. MI6 show exactly the same form of cognitive dissonance that May and the Tory Leadership all share. Evidence is now pointless. All Theresa May will believe is that Russia is guilty and nothing will shake this belief. Nothing. Russian Diplomats are now openly called Russian spies. Unreal people, of course they are either spies or assets of spies. This is just the way of things.
She is now no longer competent to make any decisions. MI6 have shown themselves to be unfit for purpose. At this point consider MI6 and the CIA to essentially be the same parasitic organism. If Putin has lost control of nerve gas, as May suggested one day previously, it is in the interest of everyone to investigate that thoroughly. No, today, even that has been forgotten.
The human part of May is no longer functioning properly as her amygdala / inner monkey has seized control. There must be an enemy and May has seized upon Putin. As May is no longer rational, who actually has the necessary integrity to help her regain control of her humanity. Obviously, the MI6 flunky values his/her career more than their honour. The only person left with any power is Her Majesty. Her advisers must dine frequently with Mays as all appear to be suffering from the same cognitive dissonance. (This is not a conspiracy, it is just how it is and quite natural for 'western' society.)
Notice how the news and press support the nonsense that 'our' govt is creating. Showing themselves to be unfit for purpose too. This is all to be expected but is crushingly disappointing anyway. The CIA has assets all over the world. They have literally pallets of one hundred dollar bills to burn. A nod here and a wink there will advance your highly visible and public career in your preferred direction. A handful of men own the major news outlets, a handful of bankers will finance these men. There are not many people the CIA need to influence to promote their agenda. Anyone the CIA choose to influence is recorded as being a CIA asset. In 1950 the CIA began infiltrating newspapers, finance and govt and have not stopped their efforts for nearly 70 years. Continually helping to centralise control into fewer and fewer hands, such that they can advance their agenda at will, almost. As they get bolder and more powerful, they get ever more obvious.
What is the CIA agenda? Basically, the US is losing its status as the worlds super power. Slowly but surely. A loss of status often causes the amygdala to exert extreme force over a persons basic humanity. Cognitive dissonance spreads freely amongst those who stand to lose power, control and wealth. May and her cabinet will be having difficulty maintaining their humanity, as their amygdalas fear the farce of brexit. The CIA are aware of this and gentle nudges can easily sway anyone who is under the control of their amygdala. The CIA is creating and developing fear to destabilise Russia, China, Europe and the UK. Relatively speaking, a destabilised rest of the world makes America look great again.
Again, even the CIA are suffering the effects of cognitive dissonance. Most everyone in the western world is. This is due to the simple fact that we never bother seeking to tame and control our own inner monkey / amygdala. We call ourselves human without ever promoting or encouraging our inner humanity. Once the amygdala starts over-reacting our own intelligence creates an impenetrable cloud of cognitive dissonance.
What can be done. First, regain control of your humanity. The first book I ever published deals with that. Then read the next two.
Your cognitive dissonance now allows you to label me as a 'whatever' with absolute certainty. The same absolute certainty that May feels about Russia or the CIA feels about its duty to protect Americas interests abroad, is what you are most likely suffering from too.
If not, I apologise. What we can do is encourage others to control their inner monkey / amygdala and continually point out the irrationality of May, Trump and whoever else is shrieking about 'threats' and 'dangers'.
It is a strange world.
It needn't be.
It could easily be Heaven on Earth.
The CIA would not like that.
Not that the CIA are evil. They are well intentioned. They have just completely failed to develop their inner humanity. Their amygdalas rule them. The seek power over others and collect status symbols to appease their inner monkey / amygdala. As do most beings, particularly western beings.
May is not evil. She believes that Putin needs to be controlled in some way. She is well intentioned. Unfortunately, she isn't really in control of herself and is completely unaware of this. Cognitive discordance provides her with everything she needs to know, her beliefs make her feel strong. Her lack of awareness makes her an exceedingly poor choice as UK govt leader.
Not that I blame her, this awareness is not taught at schools. Why would it? At school the amygdala is developed to produce members of public that seek comfort in hierarchy and status symbols.
It is a funny old world. You can change it by first 'changing' yourself. Dampen down your amygdala / inner monkey and encourage your humanity. It is good for the soul. Don't worry about your cognitive dissonance as that will simply dissolve.
Obviously, I believe that my three books will help but whatever works for you, works for you.
You take care and have fun
**********************************************************
Let us start there. The term 'conspiracy theorist' was brought into our collective consciousness by the American Intelligence Services, I will call them the C.I.A. In a publicly available memo, the CIA suggest the phrase be used to label and undermine anyone who deviated away from the official JFK narrative.
The Government gives its spin on something or other and those who question it are called 'conspiracy theorists'. In the old days, they were called reporters. Today, the CIA help shape the narrative our reporters give us as and act as analysts and special advisers for government.
I haven't actually got to the example yet but how are you finding the above information? Far fetched or obvious? Do you want to know where my 'proof' is or do you wish me to get to example one of cognitive dissonance?
Do you know that 10% of our population are so crippled by cognitive dissonance that they simply are not able to think a problem through to its solution? They get IQ scores below 83. Cognitive dissonance causes great internal stress and the amygdala releases cortisone which causes lots of unhappy symptoms, many of which accelerate your aging. When I write something, it really is in your best interest to attempt to understand it. Your cognitive dissonance reduces your IQ and ages you at an accelerated rate. Now, who doesn't want to age slower and be able to think clearer and be far more content and feel capable, confident and powerful?
How many reactions have you had so far to this post? None would be good other than get on with it as all this is obvious.
Example one.
This morning on BBC radio news I was informed of something so utterly unbelievable I was struck dumb by how crippling cognitive dissonance is at the BBC and in British Government as well as the US government. This is actually important as I wish to avoid or at least delay a nuclear themed World War Three.
Apparently, Theresa May has decided that Russia has been naughty and has 24 or is it 36 hours to admit their guilt. Russia, a significant player in the world of Military Power and allied to China. Now in the UK, Russia supply us with gas to heat our homes and China provides us with loads of stuff to put into our homes. America supplies us with 'nothing'? Anyway, Russia has either lost control of nerve gas or used it to kill a dodgy spy in the UK. That's it. We are accelerating towards WW3 without much in the way of 'evidence'.
Unbelievable. Litvenko was mentioned. Another dodgy spy killed with pollonium or some such like. The narrative put forward by govt and the media (CIA) is that Putin did it.
Imagine that you are Putin. You go on record as saying that there are 100 dodgy spies that shouldn't be on Russian soil because they have betrayed their country men. He said, on record, that they deserve to be strangled. This is verifiable, if you are able to think, reason and research using the publicly available official records on the internet. Now, the rest of the world swapped some spies with Russia including the dodgy spy killed with nerve gas. Are you understanding this yet? Putin has basically said, rather kindly, get these traitors out of my country or they will be strangled. So, the US and UK swapped some spies over. If Putin wanted Litvenko or the other chap dead, they would not have been offered for swap, they would already have been strangled.
I don't have any problem with this. From the James Bond films we know spies have cyanide capsules in case of capture and all one hundred were captured but didn't feel the need to take the cyanide capsule. This implies that they weren't really expecting to be tortured or mistreated too badly. Or perhaps the MOD had mistaken cocaine for cyanide? I jest. Regardless, Putin has told everybody not crippled by cognitive dissonance what is going to happen and why, without threats.
So, who exactly could spend millions of dollars obtaining very difficult to acquire chemical agents and nuclear isotopes and then plant lots of stories in the media and advise the UK and US govts that Putin definitely did it?
I have no idea, other than the CIA. Another interesting point was that BBC Radio News also mentioned that Litvenko died in an equally imaginative and expensive way. Did you know that two dodgy spies were poisoned with the pollonium stuff? Just weeks apart? Course not. The other spy, as he lay dying in an appallingly horrific and slow way, was asked on camera if he believed that Putin had ordered his death. Despite intense pain and the sure knowledge that he was going to suffer far more agony before his death - he laughed. His response was no. The likelihood of Putins involvement was zero. He had no doubts at all on this subject.
Are you able to research independently or do you feel my version makes far more sense than the official narrative? Putin had these dodgy spies in his custody. None had bothered with the cyanide pill. Putin said they would be strangled if they remained on Russian soil. Two of these dodgy spies were, years later, killed on UK soil in the most expensive way possible. As opposed to being strangled.
Just for a moment allow yourself to believe that Putin ordered these retired dodgy spies to be killed and they were all strangled on UK soil by whoever you like. Would anyone care? Would it make the news? Some old KGB spy strangled in his living room? No. No. No. It only makes the national news if they die in some bizarre and horrific way.
This is all obvious to anyone not suffering with cognitive dissonance. It really is. Putin keeps making speeches at how he struggles to believe the mentality of the UK and US govt and the media in the US and the UK. Perhaps listen to them?
Most people, will struggle to accept any of the above. Which is example one of cognitive dissonance.
***************************************************************************
Well, did you like my version of the 'truth'. Did you prefer the official govt narrative?
My version is harmless and offends no-one. I am happy for Putin to read this whilst in the company of his security team and to patiently await his response. If he orders my execution, how long will his people have to come up with a bizarre and ridiculously expensive way of killing me? A method costing at least one million dollars as per someone like the fictional character Dr Evil in an Austin Powers film.
The official story, if everyone accepts it without comment, sets us further along the path to a nuclear themed world war three. The UK and US vs China, Russia and Germany.
If I am, more or less, correct - why would the CIA spend 2 - 3 million dollars killing three dodgy spies and stage manage the narrative that Putin did it?
Well, that is easy to answer. What reason did the US Govt give for 'Putins actions'? DESTABILISATION. So, there you go the CIA did it to destabilise the UK and EUROPES economic ties to Russia. As well as attempting to coerce China into choose to side with the US or Russia. Destabilising the entire world.
What, exactly, is your cognitive dissonance telling you about that? Perhaps, why would the CIA want to destabilise the entire world? Well, they are and I don't think answering 'why' is particularly important.
I know exactly what your cognitive dissonance is demanding. Exactly. How? It doesn't matter. Your cognitive dissonance will believe none of my version until it is given a reasonable explanation as to why would the CIA do all this. So, if I tell you, all you are going to review is my explanation. No. No. No. This blog is called Critical Thought, so go do some.
NB When I refer to the CIA I more specifically mean the small group of influential men who 'guide' American Intelligence. Men who have massive financial interests in mankind remaining crippled by cognitive dissonance. They do not prevent me reaching my goal of creating Heaven On Earth, every member of the public does. This small group of men will never acknowledge me or admit to any CIA connection. Amazingly, they suffer from cognitive dissonance too! (The truth makes no sense.)
How much actual reality / truth can you cope with?
*************************************************************************
The world really is this easy for me to understand.
Theresa May (and her cabinet and advisers) and Trump (and his team) are clueless and yet you insist that they take your wealth and do all the critical thinking for you. They are and you are all suffering from cognitive dissonance.
This can change and will change. For the better or for the worse. The person in the mirror decides your future.

UPDATED 1.1
update 14th March 2018
The deadline passes and Theresa May continues to walk down a dark and dangerous path. At this point MI6 will have advised her on how to proceed. MI6 show exactly the same form of cognitive dissonance that May and the Tory Leadership all share. Evidence is now pointless. All Theresa May will believe is that Russia is guilty and nothing will shake this belief. Nothing. Russian Diplomats are now openly called Russian spies. Unreal people, of course they are either spies or assets of spies. This is just the way of things.
She is now no longer competent to make any decisions. MI6 have shown themselves to be unfit for purpose. At this point consider MI6 and the CIA to essentially be the same parasitic organism. If Putin has lost control of nerve gas, as May suggested one day previously, it is in the interest of everyone to investigate that thoroughly. No, today, even that has been forgotten.
The human part of May is no longer functioning properly as her amygdala / inner monkey has seized control. There must be an enemy and May has seized upon Putin. As May is no longer rational, who actually has the necessary integrity to help her regain control of her humanity. Obviously, the MI6 flunky values his/her career more than their honour. The only person left with any power is Her Majesty. Her advisers must dine frequently with Mays as all appear to be suffering from the same cognitive dissonance. (This is not a conspiracy, it is just how it is and quite natural for 'western' society.)
Notice how the news and press support the nonsense that 'our' govt is creating. Showing themselves to be unfit for purpose too. This is all to be expected but is crushingly disappointing anyway. The CIA has assets all over the world. They have literally pallets of one hundred dollar bills to burn. A nod here and a wink there will advance your highly visible and public career in your preferred direction. A handful of men own the major news outlets, a handful of bankers will finance these men. There are not many people the CIA need to influence to promote their agenda. Anyone the CIA choose to influence is recorded as being a CIA asset. In 1950 the CIA began infiltrating newspapers, finance and govt and have not stopped their efforts for nearly 70 years. Continually helping to centralise control into fewer and fewer hands, such that they can advance their agenda at will, almost. As they get bolder and more powerful, they get ever more obvious.
What is the CIA agenda? Basically, the US is losing its status as the worlds super power. Slowly but surely. A loss of status often causes the amygdala to exert extreme force over a persons basic humanity. Cognitive dissonance spreads freely amongst those who stand to lose power, control and wealth. May and her cabinet will be having difficulty maintaining their humanity, as their amygdalas fear the farce of brexit. The CIA are aware of this and gentle nudges can easily sway anyone who is under the control of their amygdala. The CIA is creating and developing fear to destabilise Russia, China, Europe and the UK. Relatively speaking, a destabilised rest of the world makes America look great again.
Again, even the CIA are suffering the effects of cognitive dissonance. Most everyone in the western world is. This is due to the simple fact that we never bother seeking to tame and control our own inner monkey / amygdala. We call ourselves human without ever promoting or encouraging our inner humanity. Once the amygdala starts over-reacting our own intelligence creates an impenetrable cloud of cognitive dissonance.
What can be done. First, regain control of your humanity. The first book I ever published deals with that. Then read the next two.
Your cognitive dissonance now allows you to label me as a 'whatever' with absolute certainty. The same absolute certainty that May feels about Russia or the CIA feels about its duty to protect Americas interests abroad, is what you are most likely suffering from too.
If not, I apologise. What we can do is encourage others to control their inner monkey / amygdala and continually point out the irrationality of May, Trump and whoever else is shrieking about 'threats' and 'dangers'.
It is a strange world.
It needn't be.
It could easily be Heaven on Earth.

Not that the CIA are evil. They are well intentioned. They have just completely failed to develop their inner humanity. Their amygdalas rule them. The seek power over others and collect status symbols to appease their inner monkey / amygdala. As do most beings, particularly western beings.

Cognitive Dissonance - vital reading
Engineers do 'root cause analysis', well good ones do if they have the time. My critical thinking is aimed towards the so-called 'real world'. Finance, government and people. There is a splinter in my mind that I am struggling to remove. Something is not quite right and with 'root cause analysis' I seek to find out what this is. Luckily or perhaps a small indication of my dedication in this area, I am a Systems Analyst and Design Engineer. A system being made up of two things; people and other stuff.
Banking is a system. Government is a system. Society is just a system. My suggestion in this post is that the entire system is based upon cognitive dissonance. In other words, what we think banking is, it isn't. What we think government is, it isn't. What we think society is, it isn't.
I believe I have covered banking extensively. Fundamentally, the stuff we think of as money isn't. We use bank credit and cognitive dissonance allows us to believe this credit is money. Cognitive dissonance supplies you with a raft of explanations as to why I am wrong, or why this is a flawed idea but what is the alternative? That is what cognitive dissonance is. Most of us have this particular one.
I believe that I have covered government extensively. Fundamentally, the idea of government does not match up to what it actually does. Again, many of you will be shaking their head believing me to be a communist or fascist or most likely a reasonable intelligent, well intentioned, fool. Again, this is cognitive dissonance, yours not mine.
I believe my last post was about society. Your cognitive dissonance here will be full of explanations as to why society might not be perfect but it is far better than any foolish notions I may have. This is probably commonsense but society is massively ineffective and increasingly likely to end with a catastrophic failure. Again, your mind will be conjuring up all sorts of sound bites that allows your cognitive dissonance to remain intact.
If you are still reading, well done. This is a critical thought blog so I assume most of you will at least entertain the ideas I put forward. This one regarding cognitive dissonance is the result of four decades work.
Now, I am going to tell you things that you probably already know but show that cognitive dissonance allows you to ignore what you know. The British Army is made up of a men of varying ranks. From private, all the way up to Generals and finally Her Majesty. Each man saluting whoever ranks above them. You know this, mostly. How else could you organise an Army? I suggest that society is similar. Government and private companies all use this form of organisation. How else could you form a government or run a company of 100 souls or more? Apparently, 250 is the magic number. In that, one person can only handle 250 subordinates. At this point your cognitive dissonance will be screaming at you not to read on as this is not only boring, it is pointless and I know nothing. Or perhaps you are intrigued?
No matter, let me introduce you to the SAS. Here we have four men teams with each individual having at least one specialised skill. SAS HQ get a mission brief and after some thought, one or more teams are assembled. In a mission, whoever has the relevant specialist skill instantly takes command and this changes as the mission unfolds. SAS men do not salute anyone. The British Army may be effective but the SAS are devastating.
Imagine the British Army abandoning the current hierarchical structure and adopting the SAS structure. Your cognitive dissonance could well be running wild at this point. it cannot be done because, what exactly? You will have a great many answers, provided by cognitive dissonance.
The Ghurkas very much use the same command structure as the SAS. You give them a mission target and then quickly get out of the way. Questioning how they achieve their objective will give any sane person nightmares. The SAS and the Ghurkas are very potent enemies. They are very effective. Yet, our society and the Army ignores and large companies ignore completely the organisational structure of the SAS, mostly. There are exceptions. Small groups broken off the whole to pursue a single objective.
There you have it. There is a far more effective way of organising society and we simply do not do it.
We do not do it because of cognitive dissonance.
There is more, much more. Are you ready for this?
Society conditions us from birth to be good members of society. The Amy then conditions members of society to kill other (different) members of society. Apparently, this is very difficult. Getting a man to kill another, on demand, is basically all Army training is. So, what makes a good SAS soldier? Any member of society who is impervious to the military conditioning but who rapidly obtains skills because of internally generated reasons. If handled correctly, this man will die to meet whatever objective you give him.
What happens if someone is impervious to social conditioning? Well, that would be me and probably most of the best of the SAS soldiers. For internally generated reasons, I would give my life to meet the objective(s) that I have given myself. Gladly and without hesitation. Are you following this?
Basically, you are born as a 'human being'. Capable of learning whatever skills are necessary to meet your internally generated objectives. You are devastatingly effective in whatever field you choose to operate. This is everybody.
Social conditioning blends us all into one bland member of public, upon which a hierarchy is stamped to create the most ineffective, pointless and internally conflicted structure possible. The one we have that cognitive dissonance tells us cannot be bettered.
How is this read so far? Uncomfortable or enlightening? Have you decided that I know nothing? Is it remotely possible that I am right?
How active is your cognitive dissonance? If you have had an emotional response to anything here, then forget about it and read it again next week. Continue to do this until you can read the post in its entirety without emotion. Allow your humanity to read this without any influence of your inner monkey / amygdala.
Do you want your new born child (any gender) to be as potent as an SAS soldier in whatever field they choose. Or simply a good citizen / member of public?
Would you like your Grand Children born into a world where their limits were not known. Where they are encouraged to be the best that they can be. Or into a world where they must fit in?
I find the above question to be pointless. As is your society.
Cognitive dissonance limits individuals and any system in which they operate.
Cognitive dissonance can be removed by properly reading this one post.
Do you want to believe that you and this society is operating at a reasonable level. Or do you wish to unleash your innate human potential?
Perhaps you own a company, is it the best it can be? Are you brave enough to unleash its potential by enabling your employees to be what they were born, human beings?
At this point, your cognitive dissonance will be telling you all sorts of nonsense. Just accept that it is. Go and do something else. Read this post again next month. Then go do something else. Repeat this until you know that you are both capable and powerful. You just are and this post is of no importance whatsoever. My opinion is of no consequence and this article is incoherent nonsense. All that matters is that you are a powerful human being and are considering how best to deploy your unique skill set or perhaps develop more. You are comfortable with your power and that you remember to take care with the delicate members of public, whatever their 'social' rank.
My three books may help you to accelerate your realisation of yourself.
*******************************************************************
You may well be wondering who I am and how I write these posts. Or perhaps just how powerful I am. Feel free to wonder but it is a waste of your time. Your time is better spent developing yourself and then your time will be best deployed however you see fit.

Executive summary.
Gain control over your own inner monkey / amygdala
Realise the crippling reality of the effects of everyone cognitive dissonance created by the amygdala
Use your capabilities and power to achieve whatever objectives you desire

What is society?
I am me. You are you. We are the same and different. I was born as a white male in England and raised as a Christian. That is the basic flavour of the society that has existed my entire life.
For some reason, I was born and although I take part in society it has never really felt real to me. To be fair, I have never felt real to me either. My body feels like a simple / complex structure to carry my brain about. That said, my brain just feels like a structure designed to resonate with an aspect of a greater spiritual being.
Now, try and capture that basic / complex idea concisely described above. It is simply how I feel. You need neither believe or not believe it. To be able to critically think you need to be able to both disbelieve and believe the above. Only temporarily and only for as long as you decide to hold that thought. If your brain is capable, try to both believe and not believe it at the same time.
Relax and try to hold the above thought in your consciousness. The greater spiritual being can be whatever is easiest for you to believe. Your brain / mind / consciousness / soul simply resonates with one frequency / aspect of this greater being. No need to feel special, a rock also resonates with the greater spiritual being also.
Each of us and everything is therefore part of the same thing. Remembering that you are not judging these words as true or false. You are merely allowing yourself to entertain the concept. what is the shape of this idea / concept? What about its texture and density. Is it soft, sharp, hot, cold, comforting or frightening? How is your body and mind reacting to this concept / idea?
I have no idea of determining how flexible / supple your mind is. However, if you find yourself unable to hold the above described concept in your mind then you are not flexible. If you can, then good for you. Whilst holding this thought in your mind, use it as your framework and lens for viewing one or more aspects of society.
The major aspects are government and finance. You ought really start smaller. Society is made up of banking, government and members of the public. For this to work, there has to be rules, lots and lots of rules. Thousands of them. These rules multiply. They must. This is all a farce. However, members of the public are so conditioned to accepting this farce that they cannot survive without the idea of society. Without believing that societies laws are just. That wars are fought for freedom. That without government we have chaos and anarchy - a dark age.
How did your body and mind react to the previous paragraph? Did you read it with your 'normal' eyes? Or whilst holding the thought that you are simply resonating with one aspect of a greater spritual being? Read it again and again and again whilst holding different belief structures in your mind.
I have found that understanding comes from attempting to explain something you think you know to someone who doesn't. This soon reveals to you what concepts you are unclear about. Which is one reason for me writing the stuff I write. I know I know something but what is it that I know? Writing helps me to bring what I was born knowing into my own consciousness.
So, a member of society believes that they are better off believing in society, rather than not believing in society. I don't believe this to be true. In society, I am of very low status. To an outsider anyway. Those who come into contact with me regularly do not believe for a moment that I am of low rank. Unless, of course, I choose to play to their mindset.
This is difficult for me but I am trying to get a single idea into your mind. If you believe in society (more than you believe in yourself) then you are playing a pointless game. Perhaps you are of high rank. Of high social status. A President perhaps. A billionaire. Or even both. You do not outrank me as I am not playing your childish game. I drive a car that cost me £550. Perhaps I ought to buy a better car. Well, a member of society has no problem 'knowing' which cars are better than mine. Newer cars are better. Lower mileage cars are better. More expensive cars are better. Perhaps sports cars are better. Currently SUV's are the cars to own. We each have an idea of what is better. However, for me things are different. My choice is simple. This weekend do I spend my time and resources obtaining a different vehicle or not. My perceived status, by you, is meaningless to me. This is a crucial distinction between a member of society and whatever you think I am.
Give this some thought. How I feel about myself and my life has no connection to my job, car, watch, clothes, income or anything material. It is all to do with how much I am able to allow myself to resonate with the whole of the thing.
The more I resonate with the whole of the thing, the more I am able to recognise and help others to resonate with the whole of the thing too. That is what I do in person. However, there are billions of you. The blog is how I choose to resonate with you but mainly to become more attuned to the whole of the thing.
Currently, I am mostly not in tune with the universe. However, I am spending increasingly more of my time in tune with the universe. The benefits of being in tune with the universe are:-
power - no-one outranks me
one on one communication is enjoyable, interesting and stimulating
interacting with physical objects is simply satisfying
just breathing is magical
seeing things, sensing things, smelling things, this is all part of enjoying our time in this 'this'. Whatever 'this' is.
Pure enjoyment, moment to moment.
I am attuned now, at this moment, typing these words.
Without review, checking for errors, or rewriting, I will simply press 'publish' at the peak of my resonance / total satisfaction
In this state, cars, watches and that mean very little. I have a car and I have a watch. The exact form of these things makes very little real difference. I have job, I find it satisfying and enjoyable. The exact nature of the job is of no real concern. Society simply melts away, leaving behind people. Some resonate and most do not. I will change that. It is the way of things. The whole of the thing speaks through me. Remembering that I only resonate with a small part of 'it'. You each all have your part in
'this' too.
A member of society has as much substance, relative to me, as a character in a TV series. From time to time allow yourself to be who you are. Spend time with those who allow you / enable you to be who you really are. Be (seeing) you
For some reason, I was born and although I take part in society it has never really felt real to me. To be fair, I have never felt real to me either. My body feels like a simple / complex structure to carry my brain about. That said, my brain just feels like a structure designed to resonate with an aspect of a greater spiritual being.

Currently, I am mostly not in tune with the universe. However, I am spending increasingly more of my time in tune with the universe. The benefits of being in tune with the universe are:-
power - no-one outranks me
one on one communication is enjoyable, interesting and stimulating
interacting with physical objects is simply satisfying
just breathing is magical
seeing things, sensing things, smelling things, this is all part of enjoying our time in this 'this'. Whatever 'this' is.
Pure enjoyment, moment to moment.
I am attuned now, at this moment, typing these words.
Without review, checking for errors, or rewriting, I will simply press 'publish' at the peak of my resonance / total satisfaction
In this state, cars, watches and that mean very little. I have a car and I have a watch. The exact form of these things makes very little real difference. I have job, I find it satisfying and enjoyable. The exact nature of the job is of no real concern. Society simply melts away, leaving behind people. Some resonate and most do not. I will change that. It is the way of things. The whole of the thing speaks through me. Remembering that I only resonate with a small part of 'it'. You each all have your part in
'this' too.
A member of society has as much substance, relative to me, as a character in a TV series. From time to time allow yourself to be who you are. Spend time with those who allow you / enable you to be who you really are. Be (seeing) you

Jordan B Peterson
A colleague has recently introduced me to the work of Jordan B Peterson. He is a critical thinker of great depth and I encourage you to subscribe to his youtube channel. He is a clinical psychologist and a lecturer.
Recently, he has discussed 'trans' issues and this has generated an emotional response from a great many. I watched his interview with Cathy Newman and was very impressed with his ability to maintain a human interaction with someone whose monkey was running rampant. I say 'monkey' and he says amygdala. Same sort of thing.
His depth and breadth of understanding is far greater than mine. With one exception. I do believe that he is on the edge of a break through and I wish to simply nudge him into it. I don't have the right to do this. However, I have chosen to do it. He has the right to completely ignore me or even to completely disagree. I do this as I believe that he can develop this 'exception' far better than I and I believe that it is important. Not just to me but to the billions of humans on this planet.
The exception is this. He, to the best of his ability and brilliantly, advises people on how best to get along in society. Creating value for themselves AND society. However, he is hovering between two worlds. One world is 'society' and the other is 'civilisation'.
Basically, society is based on hierarchy. Civilisation is based upon 'nodes'. I believe that he would understand this fundamental difference without having to read my other work.
Now, let me use an example to explain the 'trans' issue. Society is breaking down. The financial burden of government promises is increasing. Economic growth is not happening at the level that government and financial figures tell us. Most people are not aware of this intellectually but do feel that something is wrong somewhere. Now, the human brain requires an explanation. So, governments tell us that gay muslim transgender terrorists claiming benefits are the problem and so vicious arguments erupt. Muslims say this is nothing to do with us. LGBT's state this is nothing of our doing and so on. Society becomes ever more emotional and our amygdala / monkey gets far too active for our own personal and collective good. WWI and WWII are great examples of this phenomena. As would be Witch trials and the 'are you a communist' era from the U.S.
This is all due to our monkey / amygdala forcing a hierarchical structure on our personal and collective humanity. This is basically what our 'society' is and 'society' will and should fail. Now, my problem is ensuring a 'civilisation' springs up in the place of 'society' rather than a far more brutal 'society'. A good marker for noticing our collapse into a brutal society will be WWIII. Intolerance of differences in others will define us. All of us.
Where I work, I am destroying the society / hierarchical structure quite easily. I just give my colleagues a better structure. A nodal structure. We are all basically equal, with differing areas of responsibly and accountability. Despite being basically equal, we all have different strengths and weaknesses. At varying times, we all need the support of our colleagues and that support is readily available. We all work for our own benefit, as part of a team and to meet the requirement of our customers. In that order.
Society says that I am of low rank. Reality or 'civilisation' laughs in the face of this absurd statement. Now Jordan B Peterson would have me create a schedule and have goals and targets. In ten years time I could live in a big house, drive a new car, wear a Rolex watch and be a director where I currently work. No thanks. That may happen. It might not. I live in a great house that I love. I drive a sixteen year old car, that I love. I wear an automatic watch that I love. I am happy and content. I know who I am. I am me. I am already far more powerful than those society calls powerful. I know of no-one who is more powerful than I. In what alternative universe would a new house, car and watch make any difference to me whatsoever? I will still be me. In ten years time I hope to be more human. Not be higher up a hierarchical structure imposed by everyone's collective amygdala / inner monkey.
Society is the collective result of our amygdala / inner monkey
Society is founded upon fear
Civilisation is the collective result of our humanity.
Civilisation is founded upon love.
Both co-exist. Both will forever exist. The balance is crucial.
I choose to interact with others on a human basis and to be aware of when my monkey / amygdala has simply seized control of my words, actions and more importantly THOUGHTS.
Anyway, it is my great hope that Jordan B Peterson will eventually grasp the magnitude of this 'exception'. I look forward to his future work regardless.
My thanks to Joe for bringing Jordan B Peterson to my attention and to Jordan B Peterson for his contribution to civilisation.
