CIVILIZATIONAL AMNESIA AND LEMONADE
8 #WeaponizedHypnotism

Without highs and lows you can’t perceive happiness and sadness.
Life becomes flat.
We would live like we are on auto pilot.
Have you ever met someone on Prozac™?
If night never comes how will you appreciate the sun?
It seems logical and yet we pursue this pernicious illusion with every waking breath.
Have you ever met someone who could not get their Prozac™?

The psychologists who created Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP) developed a technique to combat this problem. They call it the REFRAME.

“Make your lemons into lemonade.”
“Instead of complaining that roses have thorns be glad that thorns have roses.”
It is basically the same as this Cat Stevens song entitled Moonshadow.

NLP was first published in the 1970s.
People think it is something new but it is not.
It is repackaged psychology mixed with hypnotism and a few other tricks.
It is a toolbox, a bag of tricks to make children act like adults temporarily.
It can do some good if you are in the #ChildEgoState but fails to address the real issue:

We are unhappy when we are happy.

Does that sound crazy?
It is.
But it is our nature as complex metaphorical beings.
You can give a dog whatever he needs, food, water, affection, but he will always long to run outside herding sheep or retrieving sticks.

When people are too happy for too long slight moments of discomfort become catastrophic ordeals.

People who are always comfortable become addicts.
People who assume life should always be happy (are entitled to happiness) become… Americans!*

Addicts are people willing to sacrifice anything for their present comfort and even go so far as giving up their birthrights.

*Note: to be fair Australians too.
Even though most of the world would be tearfully grateful for having just indoor plumbing and drinkable water coming out of a tap it is not enough for an addict.
An addict is like a fire whose only plea is, “More!”

Why do you need guns or free speech when “You’re happy!”?

Now we can answer this ancient question…
Why do bad things happen to good people?
Or as I like to phrase it
Why do children hate to go to school?
They are surrounded by their friends.

Because they hate to be tested.
They don’t mind the subjects but they don’t want their progress monitored.
Many like it so much they don’t want to graduate.
Many welfare leaches have figured out that they can fail second grade forever and even retire from it.

It is no secret that our school system is based on the Prussian Model of military style brainwashing for troops. Prussian is an archaic word for German. This is the preNazi cultural grooming or brainwashing of humans. At first it was resisted and the Massachusetts Governor had to call out the National Guard to enforce it on parents. But within one generation it was accepted and the literacy level as well as the ability to think has been dropping ever since.

It makes me wonder how pre-brainwashed America looked and sounded.
Imagine a man who not only could think his own thoughts but would do that constantly.
How can you control a being like that?
Behold, the raw power of a nation of adults!

The Nazis were not adults.
They, like children, were only following orders.
Orders are not thoughts.
They are always external.
Fuhrer is father.
Not big brother…
Big Daddy.

This leads me to my conclusion.
You will probably hate this on a deep level but I recommend you take some time to roll it around in your mind because it is the core of the spell cast on every child around you.
