Friends,
If you can laugh at yourself, you may enjoy this article and start the new year with new insights. If not, you may be offended (though certainly no offense is intended) and have a grumpier start…
My last article asserted that hundreds of thousands of mainstream medical doctors in the U.S. don’t lack critical thinking skills. Most responses were positive, but an aware medical doctor actually argued with that. Had he included himself in the group he was criticizing, I might have had to concede to his compelling case. All kidding aside, though, stay with me on this one, folks. For while the explanations are simple, our ability to accept them often isn’t, and that difficulty demonstrates the powerful subconscious barrier between us and real solutions. To get past that, we must learn to “see” differently, to think in a new way. Let’s dig in…
1. My last article failed to define the term, so let’s start there:
Critical thinking is the analysis of available facts, evidence, observations, and arguments in order to form a judgement by the application of rational, skeptical, and unbiased analyses and evaluation.[1]
This is precisely what medical doctors do every time they render a diagnosis, for example. We go to them precisely because of their ability to apply their medical training, knowledge, and experience with their advanced critical thinking skills to help us manage or overcome health concerns. Friends, I can’t spell it out any more clearly than this. Mainstream medical doctors have exceptional critical thinking skills.
The confusion lies in our failure to distinguish between having those skills and applying them. You see, when pro-vaxxers reject vaccine truth, they don’t review our information and come to a different conclusion; they don’t look at our information at all. Their critical thinking never reaches the problem in the first place. This raises two fundamental questions: “What’s keeping medical doctors from applying their critical thinking skills to vaccines?” And, more disturbingly: “Why aren’t we asking this question?” Curiously, both questions have the same answer…
2. Here’s where we get to laugh at ourselves. Friends, did you trust vaccines before waking up to vaccine truth? Did you lack critical thinking skills before you woke up? Did you magically sprout critical thinking skills the instant you realized we’d all been lied to about vaccines? These tongue-in-cheek rhetorical questions raise a serious, more fundamental question: “If our critical thinking ability didn’t change when we woke up, what *did* change? Activists, including aware medical doctors, have been shouting vaccine truth for over a century, so we certainly weren’t asleep due to a lack of information. What there has been, however, is a widespread inability to “hear” or “see” such information. Within this distinction lies a critical missing piece, the key to a real solution to the decades-long advancing control problem…
3. My assertions about psychological manipulation repeatedly underscore its operation on and from the subconscious minds of its victims. “Subconscious,” by definition, means “invisible, out of sight and reach of the conscious mind.” The only way the good doctor could disagree—or, for that matter, agree—is to dismiss this critical component, assuming he wasn’t the first human to reach adulthood without a subconscious mind. The part of us that would agree or disagree—our rational minds—can’t see or reach our subconscious mind. So, we can only resolve the question of whether we, too, are manipulated by choosing to investigate the matter, to “see” for ourselves, to engage in a process to render visible that which is allegedly hiding invisibly in our subconscious minds, to bring it into conscious awareness. Such a process exists, and it has helped many within the aware community to see what previously lay hidden…
4. Finally, just as sleepers rarely offer evidence to support their rejection of our evidence, so, too, do those asserting that “doctors lack critical thinking skills” offer no authoritative source for their position. This isn’t coincidental, as each of these situations arises out of the same psychological condition...
Hopefully, you’re beginning to see that the idea that sleepers lack critical thinking skills doesn’t hold water. Nor is it about anyone’s carelessness or incompetence. So why, then, does the entire aware community insist that this is the case? This part of the equation is more difficult to grasp. The answer lies in the human psyche’s vulnerability to covert psychological manipulation. Complete details are beyond the scope of an article, though Fear vs. Knowledge provides a good starting point. But here are some additional insights:
First, there are several parts to the answer. For starters, the belief is compelling. “Lacking critical thinking skills” appears “perfectly clear,” “obviously logical,” and no one questions such appearances. But this is also why the masses reject vaccine truth information. Their view is just as “clear” and “obviously logical” as ours, as it was for us before we woke up to vaccine truth. In both cases, the reaction doesn’t follow researching scientific studies for authoritative support for the position; the position is justified by initial appearances, only. Pro- and anti-vaccine views are “obviously logical” to the viewer, as is “they lack critical thinking skills.” End of story. But what if such appearances could be covertly manipulated, “implanted” without us knowing it? Now there’s a humbling thought…Prepare to get humble, folks—if you want to stop the elite, that is.
Friends, the conscious mind, the rational intellect, can only interpret what it “sees,” what it perceives. But perception is not the end-result of rational thinking. It’s a distinctly non-rational phenomenon rooted in subconscious emotions. Those subconscious emotions create invisible boundaries on what the rational mind can “reach” or process, on the conscious level appearance of “real,” “true,” and “logical”—indeed, what is real or potentially real to each of us. Psychological manipulation alters perception such that the information to be hidden is, in effect, placed outside of perceptual boundaries with respect to specific, targeted information. To the manipulated masses, vaccine truth is literally not real, not even a potential reality. They reject it not because they’re mentally deficient in any respect, but because to their manipulated perception, it is literally not a potential reality. This is reflected in assertions such as, “no one would ever do that,” “no one could get away with such a thing,” and the like. They don’t look at our information because when you “know” something is impossible, only a fool would seriously consider it. Friends, psychological manipulation is that powerful. It controls reality not in an absolute or comprehensive sense, but with respect to our conscious mind’s interpretation of precise, targeted ideas. It’s far more insidious than “lacking critical thinking skills.” And it works on us, too, as the good doctor—and our entire community—demonstrate with our unsupported yet “obviously logical” belief that “they lack critical thinking skills.”
If this sounds crazy, congratulations: You’ve just experienced the power of manipulation. “Obviously real” can be created, implanted, invisibly from the outside. Manipulated perceptions are indistinguishable from non-manipulated ones. Friends, no one thinks they’re manipulated. Before you awoke to vaccines, did you run around saying, “I sure hope I wake up soon to vaccine truth, because I’m tired of being manipulated!” Of course not. And no one’s running around anxious to awaken to real solutions, either. Yet, manipulation hides both the problems and solutions from the masses and us, respectively, with equal invisibility and effectiveness in both cases.
The point is not to blindly accept or reject that you’re manipulated. We can’t see our own manipulation until we awaken from it, just like we don’t know we were dreaming until after we awaken from the dream. Resolving the question requires everyone to look for themselves. And escaping manipulation requires more than information—a lot more, as anyone who’s ever tried to share vaccine truth with a sleeper well knows. Manipulation is imposed by a non-intellectual process targeting the subconscious emotions. Not surprisingly, then, a non-intellectual process is required to escape it, to bring it into conscious awareness where it can be seen and released. By engaging in such a process over time, layers of cognitive dissonance you didn’t know were there peel away, leaving you with ever greater insight and clarity about what’s really going on, and more importantly, what completely new and different must be done to finally stop the accelerating control agenda, once and for all.
Friends, this isn’t a philosophical discussion. It’s literally what stands between us and real solutions. Billions of lives depend on whether we “get” this in time. Decades of ever greater activism work have always been met with an accelerating agenda; this is why. If we don’t address it—each one of us, proactively for ourselves—we’ll keep “winning,” “exposing corruption,” and “making progress,” just like we’ve been doing for decades, and the control agenda will keep advancing, just like it's been doing for decades. “Winning” and “advancing” are contradictory ideas, of course. This demonstrates some of our cognitive dissonance, some of what keeps us from reaching real, final solutions.
Let’s dig a little deeper. On a more subtle level, it feels really good being superior to the masses—possessing critical thinking skills that they lack, doesn’t it? Especially when “the masses” includes most medical doctors! However, it feels just as bad to find out that this belief, despite appearing “obviously logical” and being shared throughout our community, is erroneous. Emotions are powerful drivers of human perception and behavior, yet because they usually do so subconsciously, beneath the threshold of conscious awareness, we don’t realize this. Nevertheless, they powerfully attract or resist ideas based on how they feel. And when this process is unseen, when we’re not aware of the feelings (which is most of the time), their operation is automatic.
Skeptical? Look and see for yourself! If you look carefully, you’ll see that both sleepers’ response to our truth and our response to their failure to see it are reflexive. It’s rare for sleepers to argue by supplying authoritative information (but in the rare event that they do, they still reflexively reject our information, reviewing it with a predetermined outcome that’s “required” by their manipulated perception). Similarly, there’s never been an aware person who supported “they lack critical thinking skills” with a psychology study. In both cases, the reflexive response is justified by, in effect: “My view is obviously logical, so any opposing view is clearly illogical. Only a crazy person would question something so ‘obviously logical’.” What do the masses call us? “Crazy” and “dangerous,” which demonstrates the point.
This leads us to a fundamental difference between sleepers and aware people. A sleeper’s response to truth is reactive, while an aware person’s relationship to the matter is proactive. When we investigate proactively, we are open to new information and the possibility of revising our current beliefs. When we react, we are closed, saying in effect, “I already know I’m right, so I don’t need to look at your (obviously) crazy conspiracy theory.” The reactive response requires no authoritative support because it’s a reflexive response that comes with the subjective experience of “obviously logical.” But friends, this is where it gets tricky. All perceptions, manipulated or not, come with that same experience. Take a moment to let that sink in, because it explains how we can be manipulated and not know it. Everyone’s view of reality is logical to them, despite radical differences in many of our beliefs from person to person. Are some of us right and some of us wrong? Maybe, in at least some cases. But the better explanation for many such differences is the everyone is “right” with regard to their particular perceptual frame of reference. Everyone’s view of reality is logical to them! Differences in beliefs result from different perceptions on the issues where beliefs differ. This explains why manipulation is so powerful. It doesn’t make people think illogically; it alters the psychological framework within which “logical” operates. Change a person’s perception on a particular issue, and you literally change what’s logical to them as to the changed perception. You see, it’s a lot easier to redirect how “logical” operates than it is to make someone think illogically.
Since manipulation alters perception invisibly from the subconscious, no one sees their own manipulation. So, no one thinks they are manipulated. But there’s always more to awaken to because awakening occurs from the expansion of perceptual boundaries that enable the conscious intellect to reach and process the previously hidden, “unreal” information. But perception is always bounded, which means that there’s always the potential for further awakening through further boundary expansion. “Awake” in an absolute sense doesn’t exist. The question isn’t whether you’re awake, but rather, “what level of the dream are you in today?” (Permission to quite with attribution granted. ;-)
Perception is a distinctly non-rational process rooted in subconscious emotions. By invisibly altering perception—invisibly, because manipulation operates on and through the subconscious—the reach of the intellect is restricted, causing us to reflexively reject truths by, in effect, placing truths outside of our perceptual boundaries, which in practical terms causes truth to appear unreal, not a potential reality, illogical, ridiculous, silly, etc. It’s critical to understand that this effect is every bit as real and convincing as it is with any non-manipulated perception; manipulated and non-manipulated perceptions are indistinguishable. We reject “unreal,” reflexively, to protect ourselves on a subconscious emotional level (when you read the entire explanation of how the underlying psychology works, this makes perfect sense). It’s an automatic reflex built into our psyches. Rational thinking has no effect on perceptual boundaries, so it can’t help us see or escape our own manipulation.
This is why control keeps advancing despite all we do. Seeing and escaping manipulation requires a non-intellectual process that enables a shift on a subconscious emotional level. Since all our activism work is intellectual in nature, sharing or asserting information, we keep missing the primary target. We’re unwittingly addressing the symptoms, missing the root problem; and because of this, the corrupt, criminal control keeps advancing despite all we do. But our activism work isn’t misplaced. The practical issue is that something’s holding it all back, and our manipulation keeps us from seeing and addressing that “something.” A huge part of it is our failure to address the masses’ powerful subconscious fear that’s anchoring their false narratives. That fear unwittingly causes them to literally push away truth, perceiving it as false and dangerous. To them, we are literally “crazy and dangerous”—not because they’ve lost their minds, but because from their (manipulated) perception, we are, quite literally, crazy and dangerous. And the more we argue facts, the more crazy and dangerous we appear to them, because they literally can’t reach and process our information due to the subconscious emotional fear block. That’s how powerful manipulation is. And it works on us, too, which is why we don’t see and address this. It keeps us from reaching real solutions just as effectively as it keeps the masses from seeing the problems we keep trying to fix.
To mainstream medical doctors, vaccine truth is literally not a potential reality. And the same applies to our (mis)perception about critical thinking skills, to cite just one of many other potential examples or aware community cognitive dissonance. No one investigates what appears “obviously logical,” sleeper or aware. That’s why manipulation is so powerful and successful in both communities. They can’t put us back to sleep on the problems—surely, they’d have done so by now if they could—but they can, and do, keep us asleep to real solutions. That’s why decades of ever greater activism work have always been met by an accelerating control agenda. The alternative explanation—that we’re incompetent—just doesn’t hold water. We have many brilliant and brave activists, more than enough to fix the problem, and more have been speaking out over time. The problems don’t get fixed because we’re missing something fundamental. That “something” is our own subconscious manipulation. We do see critical things the masses don’t. But there are multiple layers of other things we have yet to see.
So, why would the elite want us to think sleepers lack critical thinking skills? Because as long as we blame sleepers for their manipulation, we’ll never address the real root cause, the subconscious survival fear anchoring their false narratives that prevents them from being able to see, to reach and process, truth. Until we address that, our attempts to awaken them will continue to be minimally effective, because survival fear is far more powerful than information. And since it’s invisible (subconscious), no one sees it, so no one’s trying to address it in either community. The masses think they’re saving themselves with vaccines, but they aren’t—the world keeps getting sicker. We think we’re saving ourselves with our activism work, but we aren’t—the control keeps advancing. Same psychology, just different targets. Time to wake up, friends—again, to the next level.
Manipulated beliefs are indistinguishable from nonmanipulated ones. All perceptions come with the subjective experience of “I’m seeing clearly,” “I’m thinking and acting logically,” because those experiences are relative to perception. But we can learn to spot clues to narrow in on manipulated beliefs by scrutinizing “obviously logical” with respect to advancing control issues, such as this article has done with “they lack critical thinking skills.” But “critical thinking” is just one example that barely scratches the surface. Manipulation has been imposed on humanity for decades (centuries, or millennia, depending on how far out you wish to zoom). It consists of a multitude of layers upon layers implanted over time through a non-rational psychological process targeting the subconscious emotions that control perceptual boundaries, the reach of our conscious, rational minds. So, not surprisingly, escaping it also requires a non-rational psychological process to create a shift on that subconscious emotional level, and repeatedly over time to remove unseen layers of cognitive dissonance one by one. Information is involved in awakening, but important as that is, it’s the smaller part of the equation. Information is meaningless if you can’t “see” or “hear” it, which is very different from understanding it. The former concerns perception; the latter, rational interpretation of what is perceived. Apples and oranges. Once you can “see” or reach previously hidden information, the information part takes care of itself. So yes, the masses need access to truth information (it’s categorically excluded from mainstream media, so is hidden in a non-psychological way in this respect), but more importantly, they need help removing their unseen subconscious barriers that literally prevent them from being able to “see” it even when it’s in front of their eyes. Until we address this, we’ll keep doing ever greater activism work, and the elite’s control agenda will keep advancing.
One project is designed to provide this critical missing piece, to address the masses subconscious fear barrier that blocks their ability to access to truth. To watch a short video overview of the project, send an email to peace@vaccinerights.com (this is not a monitored email address; you’ll get an auto-reply with a temporary link to the video). We, the aware community, literally can’t fully reach and process such information until we address our own unseen subconscious blocks, just as the masses can’t see our information. But this doesn’t require blindly believing anything in this article. That would miss the point. It does, however, require looking for yourself, the same way most of us woke up to the problem(s). Then, you can “see” directly for yourself. And therein lies the nature of true awakening:
“When you see it, no explanation is necessary. When you don’t, no amount of explanation will convince you.”
This is as true with waking to the solution as it is with waking to the problems. As for waking to real solutions, I have tools to assist if you wish. The necessary perception shift starts in our subconscious minds, a layer unreachable by our conscious rational minds. So, a non-intellectual, psychological process is needed. That’s why the harder we try—the more we engage our intellects—the farther we go from real solutions, and the faster the control advances. Our rational minds have a critical role to play, but to be effective, that must be preceded by a non-rational psychological process to remove the subconscious barriers to real solutions.
Everyone has to see for themselves. Billions of lives hang in the balance, so it’s worth a little time investigating this. But no one can do that for you. It’s not about someone else handing you an information summary, as a process—a perception shift—is needed. So, dare to explore and see for yourself. You and the world will be glad you did.

But with or without my help, start looking beneath surface appearances now, because all isn’t what it appears to be, in both sleeper and aware communities. Friends, the control is advancing; there will be enormous new leaps in 2024. There is a point of no return to beat, and time is running out…
