Everybody has their own methods for figuring truth out. Some are finding
it better than others. As with other things, there isn’t one set
way for determining truth. The procedures are going to vary from situation
to situation, but there are certainly some useful tips that can be passed
on from one truth seeker to another. Finding truth is not a matter of
taste. One doesn’t investigate the one-true god by deciding what
god suits our tastes best -- but lots of people do this anyway. As we
set our personal criteria for what is truth, we will find others in disagreement
with us. Ultimately, real truth is not something personal but something
all truth seekers can agree upon. This is why Jesus Christ’s words
are so powerful, they are eternally truthful. They are as much truth as
they were when they were spoken.
Even though truth is not relative, but is an eternal objective truth,
God has given us free choice and a mind with which to choose what we want
to believe. Many have mistakenly considered one’s religious views
as a matter of taste, not a matter of truth. That is perhaps the first
hurdle to correctly jump in the search for truth--Is this a matter of
personal taste or is it a matter of truth. What I eat for breakfast is
my choice, which of the foods is most beneficial for my body is a complex
issue of truth. Because the Watchtower Society teaches that knowledge
about God is an issue of truth not taste, the JW’s believe that
they can apply rational thought in their search for God. The Jehovah’s
Witnesses have a book Reasoning From the Scriptures. The idea behind the
title is a good one.
There is a place for reason and logic, but we must be careful to place
the Word of God as the foundation from which we reason. Unfortunately,
that is not what the Jehovah’s Witnesses do. They reason that the
God in 3 persons is unreasonable, because there can’t be both one
God, and 3 Gods, so they reject the Triune nature of God, even though
the Scriptures are very clear that the Father is God Almighty, Christ
is God Almighty, and the Holy Spirit is God Almighty. Three persons, one
God. Sometimes we don’t have enough understanding to reason from.
The concept of three persons in one supreme being seems outrageous at
first, and yet that is exactly what MPD (DID) is. That is one reason some
people cannot except multiple personalities either. If we reason from
our past understandings, we may not be able to adequately explain new
phenomena.
The parallels between MPD and what the Bible says about God are enormous,
once a person really gets a handle on how MPD really functions within
the mind. There are so many misconceptions about MPD, and misconceptions
about the "Trinity" (the word doesn’t appear in Scriptures),
that this subject really needs a book in itself to explain the parallels.
But the bottom line is that we believe what God has written to us, and
then we reason from there. If God says He exists in three persons, we
accept that and then reason from there. We don’t reason away what
God Almighty says. This is where so many of us get ourselves into trouble.
The Pharisees were able to make the Word of God to have no effect, by
thinking out things. Thinking doesn’t always take us in the right
direction even if it makes sense. This is probably why some people have
rejected logic and reasoning in their Christian walk. Logic is a function
of a clear mind. The Scriptures show godly men reasoning things out.
Being a reasonable person can be a good testimony for Christ. But we
must always humbly bear in mind that our minds only have a small part
of the facts and understanding about the universe and life that exists.
If I understand one-billionth of what can be known about my situation,
I suppose I am fortunate. God understands so much more. If His Word states
something that seems unreasonable--I would rather trust His Word, than
my own feeble understanding. However, if I begin to have thoughts that
are contrary to the Word of God, and contrary to how I normally think,
then logic helps me realize that these are not my own thoughts--they are
the thoughts of demons. This is an example of how reasoning from Scriptures
can spare us from trouble. When we mentally review how we have obtained
certain thought patterns, if we acquaint ourselves with how evil spirits
influence a man’s thinking via our actions opening up portals and
strongholds, then we can logically separate out those thoughts that are
from God and those thoughts that are from Satan. Most fears are ungodly,
and they come from Satan’s kingdom. Hope and faith come from God.
Discouragement and depression are not given to us from God, they are given
to us from our adversary Satan.
There may be exceptions to this, but in most cases it is clear that Satan’s
kingdom is here to steal from us peace, hope, love and faith, and is here
to give us hate, fear, and discouragement. We have to learn to be happy.
We have to allow God to bring us peace. Logically, if you want a happy
life, you must go to the Kingdom that wants to bring you peace, joy, love,
and happiness. People look for happiness in the strangest places!
Logic-and reasoning will tell you that Satan can’t bring you happiness.
Logic can be helpful to us in our Christian walk. Examples were given
of how that is true. We must be cautious in how we use logic. Logic is
not to be used to overturn the Word of God. None of us are brilliant enough
to challenge God’s Word. Logic & reasoning is how we protect
what God has already taught us & placed into our hearts and consciences.
As we gather information, we can take best advantage of that information
if we separate the chaff from the wheat. Is the person giving this information
speaking in generalities, or is he speaking about an exception to the
rule, or is he speaking about a specific case? When someone speaks about
their private thoughts, how they love someone, or have heartburn, their
thoughts are private, we must accept that we only can approximately understand
exactly what they are feeling and thinking. When we witness a car accident
with another person, our perspective of the accident is our own private
perception of the event--BUT other people can also witness the event.
The car accident is NOT a subjective event, even though there is some
subjectivity in people’s perception of it. The accident is not an
idea it is an objective event. Modern philosophy has a hard time accepting
this, even though it makes common sense. The events of that objective
reality can be distorted or misreported and not reported in many different
ways.
However, the accident is an objective real event. More than one person
can experience that reality. If we dream about an accident, then that
is a concept. Concepts and what our judgement calls about what our senses
have reported are two different things. We normally don’t doubt
what we apprehend. We normally do question the existence of what we mentally
create (our ideas); that is until we come to someone who has been programmed
and taught via behavior modification not to trust their own senses. The
programmed slave loses the ability to discern what is a concept, merely
an idea the brain has imagined, and what is actually something that has
an external reality and has been apprehended. Hallucinations will mask
themselves as perceptions, when they are not perceptions at all. Further,
they are very suggestible. They have shut down their critical thinking
and have an unconscious agreement with the programmer that whatever he
says is truth.
The movie/book 1984 which was written many years ago describes a time
when society as a whole was under the mind-control of Big Brother. When
the main character steps out of line, he is reprogrammed, by torture.
The goal of the programming was to get this thought-offender to accept
whatever truth the programmer wanted from him. The programmer wanted him
to get to the point that when the programmer held up 4 fingers, the man
didn’t know what he saw, but if the programmer said that the 4 fingers
were 5, then the victim would actually see 5. This is exactly where the
programmers get their victims, and is part of the reason they no longer
can trust their own senses. Can several people have a simultaneous hallucination?
Yes, and during the programming and during the life of the mind-controlled
victim, hallucinations that are experienced by several people are a fake
perception that is even more difficult to reject because our normal basis
for deciding if something is an external reality that is being apprehended,
versus our own imagination, is that other people can also see (or experience)
it. When several other people experience something, that is a common test
that the event happened in reality. (This is the concept of having several
witnesses.)
However, witnesses can be mistaken. The victim of mind-control must be
given more than a Bible --"Here, take this, this is the truth."
The victim of mind-control must take back what was stripped of them. They
must learn to have that critical facility that has been stripped from
them--the ability to ask is this an external reality that everyone can
experience, or is this a perception, or a grand illusion that several
people are only thinking.
Today, it is a fad to say everything is subjective. It is not. There
is a reality. Our memories may or may not correspond to something that
did exist. Memories can be perceptions and imaginations also, that mask
themselves as experiences just like our hallucinations can. We can be
skeptical about whether we have a concept in our mind that corresponds
to what others could experience, or whether it is an imagination. But
we cannot accurately be skeptical of the existence of reality and truth.
Since total skepticism of the existence of reality is self-defeating,
the occultists have charged off in the other extreme, an equally wrong
direction, and declared that if the mind has an idea, the idea must be
attached to some reality, even if that reality is actually another magical
sphere somewhere. This turns all fictions, visualizations, dreams, imaginations
into some mystical perception of some supposed alternate reality. The
truth is that these "magical realms" are shared hallucinations.
No matter how many people have the same hallucination, that does not make
that hallucination become a representation of some external reality.
Reality is the world we live in together. The programmed multiple lives
in their own private worlds. The therapist may have to enter that private
world and bring the person back to the external world that humanity lives
in together. If there is anything that highlights the differences between
the external world of reality and the internal world of hallucination
it is programmed multiplicity. Because the differences are obvious for
the slave, there is no reason why they can’t return to the world
of reality. The problem that lies for some non-multiples (especially some
psychotics, but for many people in general) is that they can’t see
the two tracks, they can’t see the two worlds. I have seen Americans
watching soap operas, sitcoms, and other shows, and then tell me that
the shows are real events, and no argument would dissuade them. In fact,
the philosophers Locke and Descartes both shared the same problem, even
as philosophers they could not see the difference between external reality
that is apprehended by our senses, and our own head-trips.
As our senses gather in their sensory input, our minds go into gear to
compare what they are sensing to what the mind has cataloged already.
In other words, the mind is trying to make sense of what it is receiving.
This is why we can "talk over someone’s head" or why I
say that the common American has no frame of reference (& no world-view)
to hang my information on. If we are unable to compare what we are sensing
to anything else, it is unintellible to us. So learning is a building
process, of comparing and building bridges from one item to the next.
Our minds are masters at seeing relationships, but it still has to be
a building process--whether the process is quick or slow. Some people
want to jump over necessary steps of the building process, and read advanced
level material before they are ready for it.
Detecting what is going on in the environment around a person is only
part of what the human mind can do. It can also anticipate, plan, think,
imagine, calculate, etc. The senses play only a limited role in our thinking.
Sometimes we need to use common sense and realize a thought is merely
a thought, and nothing else. Just because the thought develops in our
mind, doesn’t mean there is any external reality to it. Feelings
are not facts. Recovering victims of mind-control should remind themselves
of this one frequently, feelings are not facts. On the flip side, there
are certain phenomena is life which demand explanations, such as how did
an extremely well-designed incredibly complex system of life as well as
an incredible planet come into being? This is a fundamental question of
reality. Although the answer "There was an Almighty Creator"
calls for us to employ our imagination to visualize what we can’t
see, that doesn’t subtract from God being an external reality. Something
is not negated in its existence just because we can imagine it, or haven’t
experienced it yet.
Jesus in a sense argued for the existence of the Holy Spirit, by saying
it was something not seen and yet it was something experienced and something
that created tangible results like the wind blowing through the trees.
He was essentially saying, yes, the Holy Spirit (Holy Ghost) is real.
Aleister Crowley, a self-made satanist who revealed much more about the
occult world than the Illuminati families would have done, based his Thalamic
law, "Do what thou wilt, is the whole of the law" upon the underlying
idea that pleasure is good. Common sense will teach people that pleasure
and good are not equal. This philosophy is hedonism, and leads to self-destruction,
which is what Crowley’s philosophy did to himself and others around
him. Where this philosophy goes astray, is that Wisdom is good, but may
not be obtained through simply pleasure. We may be pleased when we obtain
Wisdom, but that pleasure in obtaining wisdom IS NOT wisdom itself but
a by-product of having obtained a desired need. While thinking himself
wise with all his satanic hedonistic cabalistic drug-sex magic, Crowley
was going down a dead end. This is so obvious, that some modern thinkers
try to revise the concept that pleasure is good, to the underlying idea
that what is desirable for a man is good. But again this makes a mess
out of things. People differ in their desires and this means what is evil
for a victim of mind-control is good for the abuser. Betrand Russell connected
to the Illuminati stated, "Ethics is the art of recommending to others
what they must do to get along with ourselves." This fits with the
basic viewpoint of many people today who think that there are no moral
truths, everything is relative and subjective, just an opinion.
If we approach the subject from an understanding that the way we as human
beings are constructed by God, our very human nature has created needs
within us. If we make a moral judgment it is not relative but it is grounded
in the truth that we have a real need, and these morals express a desire
for the good that satisfying that need brings. For instance, a glass of
water in the desert is a need, it is good. A glass of whiskey at the bar
is a want, it appears good--but it is not a genuine need of the body.
We ought to desire more of the things we need, but we often sacrifice
these for our wants. Common sense teaches us a foundational moral law
that we should desire what is really good for us. Good being defined as
what mankind needs. If we know we that truly need something, then we know
what is good, and we should desire having it. What sustains the universe?
If we realize that God sustains the universe, then God is realized as
a need, not a want. This explains why mankind is so busy with worship.
Monkeys do not worship. Fish do not worship. But man tries to worship.
Neither fish nor monkeys feel guilt because they do not sin. But man does,
because man was given the free will to do what was right.
What I am doing is laying the groundwork to show the reader that all
these modern philosophies that say there are no absolute rights or wrongs,
are not grounded in truth & reality. We as humans have needs, and
to desire those real needs be met is good. Since the fall of man, which
was the rise of religion, a great deal of muddying the waters has occurred.
The fall of man paralleled the previous fall of Lucifer. The trauma-based
mind-control is a mirror image of the fallen mind of Lucifer. At this
point, - some of you readers will consider this to be wild preaching--because
it is very unpopular to view the mind-control as something religious in
nature.
Because Luciferian gnosticism & Satanism are religions, it’s
popular to ignore the religious side of the programming. To associate
the occult with trauma-based mind-control seems to some secular therapists
unnecessary. They want to sidestep the religious nature of the programming
with the mistaken idea that they can sterilize what happens to the victim
in strictly scientific terms. But if we don’t dismiss the existence
of good & evil, God & Lucifer, and we understand the mind of Lucifer/Satan,
then we amazingly "just happen" to have the greatest explanation
for understanding the trauma-based mind-control.
Lucifer wanted to steal God’s identity. Lucifer in his fall was
stripped of his birthright, his identity and his rank, and was separated
from truth. Lucifer goes forth to steal the identity & birthright
of children, and to separate them from truth. This is just a small part
of how the mind-control is a reflection of the mind of Satan. An entire
book could be written on this subject alone.
No matter how painful it is for a mind-control victim to realize what
Satan stole from them, once they have acknowledged that, and begin to
take back what God originally gave them, then the wisdom God will give,
will bring knowledge. And that knowledge will bring understanding. And
with that understanding the eternal life force (spirit) that the Creator
gives each person can look into the deepest pit of hell and it will still
see the light of that truth.
And Lucifer knows that when you put light on darkness, there is a light
at the end of the tunnel which will continue to break down the darkness.
The day one seeks truth with his whole heart, is the day he will find
it. That light will be a light on the hill that will prevail over darkness.
You can be sure that if you are dealing with mind-control structuring,
you are dealing with Satan the father of all lies. When the victim can
acknowledge the crimes that were done against him or her self, then he
is able to acknowledge what Satan is, the Father of all lies. If evil
is recognized as evil, then seek the goodness of truth. The truth will
open a doorway into the mind that brings growth, maturity, stability,
assurance, a new awakening, and other exciting things. The battle for
your mind is between truth and evil.
