How Consciousness Became Programmable

Cognitive Liberty Series

with Joshua Stylman

“What makes consciousness inviolable isn’t technology or law. It’s this: consciousness is the irreducible seat of human agency. Without a sovereign mind, choice becomes performance, belief becomes programming, and consent becomes engineered compliance.”

~ Joshua Stylman

  1. I would say this goes well beyond 19th century Prussia. You could go back as far as Babylonia and the mystery cults but in terms of where this tyanny really stems from in modernity is Tudor England and the influence of Sit Francis Bacon and his Shakespeare 1st folio psyop. Bacon was largely responsible for the installation of kabbalist magick and esotericism into the halls of power via freemasonry, the Shakespeare cult and the birth of modern science via the Royal Society and a desire to forge The New Atlantis to be ruled by a new high priest class of scientists. This is the source of all this unpleasantness in the modern world. We are ruled by gnostics, luciferians and a management class of useful idiots.

    1. I’d be interested to read a link discussing Sir Francis Bacon and the Dark Arts.
      BTW while I knew that Thomas Edison had a darker side, I had forgotten that this may be relevant to the agenda of the Rockefellers and their fellow travellers.

  2. Excellent summary of the complicated history of when psychological tools were blended with technological advancements. I’m sure some of the subscribers have heard snip-its here and there but having the time line clearly illuminated with examples was indeed informative. It also kind of makes you want to be very careful about how much you stay in the current period. Is it better to blend entertainment across the centuries? It would reduce the messaging or at least break it up. This has definitely been an interesting year of Solari Reports. They just keep getting better and better.

  3. As a contrarian comment, I’ll point out that world poverty has decreased, and that, for example, the standard of living in China, at least in numerical terms, has increased beyond all recognition of what has gone before.
    Spiritually. not so much.

    1. Yes, this is what the statistics indicate. I have a hard time estimating out the what is happening as it is different country by country. In instances when a lot of people are killed, but the remaining who are alive are better off materially and now the place is under central control, it is better or worse. Different people say different things. Long history of this combined with the plunder game.

  4. This snippet may be of interest :

    But the government isn’t the only one with that data.

    That data is in voter rolls, Medicare/Medicaid, DMV and hundreds of other databases many of which are public. Just check out any of the three credit reporting agencies – they have lots of data on you.

    We have tons of it – we run the voter rolls for over 2 dozen states, the property tax rolls for major metro areas, the entire Federal Election Commission database – and a bunch of other public data.

    We track every NGO, every officer and all connections. You can see videos of that work on the Omega4America.com site now.

    Since we handle databases far larger than anything our pals at Palantir or Oracle can handle, we have an educated opinion.

    You know from reading this Substack, Fractal is a massively distributed system that enables the largest systems to be moved to an environment where data centers can be eliminated or dramatically reduced.

  5. I wanted to add that the section referring to the pineal gland can also be found in Manly P Hall’s book, “Man: The Grand Symbol of the Mysteries”. It doesn’t quite follow the wording from the video, but the information is in it – mine is a 2nd edition; the year of the edition.

    Second, of related interest may be a little work called “The Occult Anatomy of Man” from 1929. There are reprints, but I haven’t had time to compare them to my 4th Edition copy which looks to be from the ’40s, so I don’t know how it’s been edited.

    Finally, because it seems relevant, is a quote (edited slightly for brevity) from the chapter on Ceremonial Magic and Sorcery, from his “Masonic, Hermetic, Qabbalistic and Rosicrucian Symbolical Philosphy”, which is more commonly known as “The Secret Teachings of All Ages” [pg CI (101), Diamond Jubilee Edition (facsimile of the original of 1928) of 1988]:

    “Egypt… Here the black magicians of Atlantis continued to exercise their superhuman powers until they had completely undermined and corrupted the morals of the primitive Mysteries. By establishing a sacerdotal caste they usurped the position formerly occupied by the initiates, and seized the reins of spiritual government. Thus black magic dictated the state religion and paralyzed the intellectual and spiritual activities of the individual by demanding his complete and unhesitating acquiescence in the dogma formulated by the priestcraft. The Pharaoh became a puppet in the hands of the… archsorcerers…

    “These sorcerers then began the systematic destruction of all keys to the ancient wisdom, so that none might have access to the knowledge necessary to reach adeptship without first becoming one of their order. They mutilated the rituals of the Mysteries while professing to preserve them, so that even though the neophyte passed through the degrees he could not secure the knowledge to which he was entitled. Idolatry was introduced by encouraging the worship of the images which in the beginning the wise had erected solely as symbols for study and meditation. False interpretations were given to the emblems and figures of the Mysteries, and elaborate theologies were created to confuse the minds of their devotees. The masses, deprived of their birthright of understanding and groveling in ignorance, eventually became the abject slaves of the spiritual imposters. Superstition universally prevailed and the black magicians completely dominated national affairs, with the result that humanity still suffers from the sophistries of the priestcrafts of Atlantis and Egypt.”

    1. My apologies for the error above: the year of the edition of “Man” I have says it’s from 1932 but the edition itself is not.
