Probably the common conception in the world at large (including some sectors/people within the alternative media scene) is that violence is a problem which is being tackled. Perhaps many people would have a very stereotypical conception of violence where the images they see whenever they hear the term “violence” would be in the physical sense, but I think the issue is much deeper and complex.

You have to consider that physical violence is just one form of abuse and for me it is very interesting to see that when the word “violence” is thrown a lot of people think of physical violence taken to the extreme: wars, beat downs, riots, murders, rape and what have you. There are various degrees of physical violence, from the angry parent hitting his/her children because they are being somewhat hyperactive to the cold murder of humans or animals for whatever reason… and you know I think the general consensus trance is messed up. Blowing up thousands of people seems to be horrible, but giving slaps to children because they don’t follow neurotic rules… well that seems to be ok, we’ll tolerate that.

Then we have emotional violence, think psychopaths taking advantage of emotional vulnerabilities or pedantic teachers ridiculing students because they can’t or don’t want to repeat things like a parrot. we could also get into the phenomenon of machismo.

There is something else which I consider emotional violence and that is what the entertainment industry does at large, which is the bombardment of the emotional self. Just look at the chick flicks, for instance, or at the rambo macho man series or at the idiotic romance songs where you have to cry because your boyfriend or girlfriend left you. Very messed up and if you happen to be the average guy or the average girl in a western society… well imagine a mixture of emotional violence: On one side you are meant to play tough, the serious person who gets down to business and on the other you are being fed a never-ending series of emotionally loaded crap.

Perhaps we can also get into spiritual or psychic violence, you know cut someone’s contact with their true Self, don’t allow people to really find authentic expressions of themselves, oh but every other human who is programmed will make sure to tell you: “just be yourself”, even if they don't know what being a self could possibly mean; the media will come and offer you endless personas and the scientists will enter the fray to let you know that every single thought or voice that you hear in you head belongs to you.

Let’s look at sexual repression for a while… ever wonder why there are so many people with sexual anxiety? ever wonder why there is so much sexual abuse towards people of all ages? and have in mind that sexual abuse doesn’t necessarily mean rape. This issue about sexual repression is interesting because it shows you how physical repression can lead to chaos on the emotional and psychic Selves. Well physical violence has such an effect if it is practiced constantly.

So yes, apparently extreme physical violence has been reduced, maybe we’ll be seeing less and less in the future… but we need to ask: WHY AND HOW?. What are the driving forces which seemingly are eroding physical violence?. Is it the “good nature” of human beings? is it that humans are finally discussing before throwing punches? is intelligence actually increasing?… or is it due to the new – or not so new – ways of repression? is it because nowadays the masses can be provided with more bread and circuses and miracles than ever before? is it because the scientists and big pharma have the answer for the problems which assault human beings day in and day out? have they found a cure for rage, sadness, depression, etc. in the form of small pills and capsules?

“Here Mr. take 3 capsules every morning, and you’ll be an ever smiling and succesful being!”. Maybe the state has more prisons, bigger and better than ever before so the criminals can be locked up and be kept away from the good Samaritans, perhaps the governments around the world can provide more police officers to patrol the streets and neighbourhoods while at the same time they keep the thugs far away… hey maybe the brave armies of the most powerful countries are indeed bringing peace, you know, maybe the deaths of those ugly and nasty terrorists do make the world a safer and better place.

I’d say it has little to do with the fact that some people are snapping out of it and are evolving. I’d say there are more “miracles”, more entertainment, more prisons, more effective “watch agencies”. Heck just look at mass media. Don’t the big media outlets perpetuate a form of violence? doesn’t the existence of such outlets and their practices tell us something about violence on multiple levels?.

I feel humanity at large is in a stage of social experimentation, a social experiment which to me seems to be leading humanity into a mixed existence between “THX 1138″ and “Gattaca”.

So I would say violence is actually increasing, not so much in the physical realm, but certainly the emotional and psychic realms are getting more and more toxic.

So no, sadly violence is not eroding, I’d say this: We have more masks for violence than ever before.

If humanity at large is ever gonna change for the better, then what “we” need are rebels and wise people, not masses of goody two shoes who smile because that is the polite thing to do.

Have in mind that this is a layer or layers of the problem, some of the themes I presented can be explored further and I have found that those are very fine lines at times, I’d like to share an interview with Michael Tsarion which I think is very relevant to this post:

Your postulate is quite a good example of some of the ongoing systems at work for control. As the theme of, "Go along to get along." has been ingrained into our existence, breaking this code gets one negative reactions and labels. A few decades of the political correct meme infused into us and is it no surprise that things are Topsy turvy? Meanwhile political advertisements are full of dirty tricks and half truths and we get more confused daily about the difference between right and wrong, up and down, our existence is dualistic in nature and they are playing with it.

Dumber, me thinks personally.

Most of the peace I see is false peace (a ufo is coming to save us! a light will come down and we'll all be transformed and live in crystal houses!)

We've always been violent, little hard to tell if we are more or less with all the false peace being splashed about. I wonder if the increase in weirdo violence (face eating, throwing babies at walls) has always been around and covered up and now they are no longer covering up because it serves to panic people....or...there's just more weirdo violence.

Good post though.

I figure that some spheres of power have refined the dialectical method as a tool for shattering human consciousness, not that the dialectical method is bad by itself, but like anything else it depends on how people use such tool. The general population is so demoralized that they couldn't care less about those methods, unless it means getting good grades at some university. Something which goes along these lines:

We are being attacked, by different means. Attacks which target different dimensions of our Self, sometimes they may attack multiple dimensions. Seemingly there is a double think tactic being used against us and to some extent we go on replicating it.

Examples:

Theories of evolution are in conflict with religious ideas, yet you are being asked to believe in both. But you must not try to solve this conflict, experts in each field will do it for you.

We are being oversexualised by the current out of control narcissistic culture. Since you are a little kid you are being invited to enter sex… yet there are social, religious, and political views which demonize sex, any and all forms of sexual expression are quickly suppressed. Both narratives clash within us and yet we are deemed too stupid to figure it out for ourselves, so the establishment will take care of it.

We are being told how politics is flawed and needs reform while at the same time the cultural spheres will encourage you to worship key politicians as all-mighty godly saviours. You are not supposed to ask why.

We are being told to be against any and all forms of violence, yet you are encouraged to support legal mercenaries in their patriotic mass murder missions. You need no wonder why, it’s the way it is.

So you see, the establishment uses this form of conflicting dialectic to obfuscate and confuse the “unworthy”, it get’s even more nasty because both sides of the dialectic are usually full of crap. This dynamic is repeated over and over again – it has been going on for what? millennia? millions of years?- to the point where severe trauma is created within the tormented individual, the repetition of this practice so frequent that at some point the population will just go on replicating it. Indeed the prisoners watch the prisoners, no one trusts each other… the prisoners themselves will at times crush rebellions which may arise from within their own ranks. Pretty pathetic and sad.

But at the same time it is crucial to understand that the average folk also has a degree of responsibility for the Orwellian society which is consuming the whole world. How big that responsibility is can be explored in some other thread.

Yeah, crazy making ****. Having all these opposing values clashing inside one's subconscious does weird things to people. We're compromised, and will believe anything if we can believe two opposing, polar opposite things at the same time.

Sex is good, sex is bad. You need to be sexier, you're a ****. God loves you, God is going to punish you.

In hypnosis its the critical barrier, it will accept anything as long as it has heard it before in some fashion or another. If it hasn't heard it before, it will reject it for no reason other than its not heard the program before, so they inundate with repeat programming over and over.

But that would go for the truth as well, it would be rejected just out of hand ....for no good reason.

Welcome to Avalon Reaver!! :hug:

I highly recommend you go to this web site and meet and read the *PRONOIA IS THE ANTIDOTE FOR PARANOIA* articles and even buy the book if you want... however there are hours of free reading....

http://www.freewillastrology.com/

Posting here a short bit that includes several other articles...

Glory in the Highest

Human biology has changed dramatically in the past three centuries, says Noble Prize-winning economic historian Robert Fogel -- and especially in the last 100 years. People in the developed world live twice as long as they used to. They weigh more and grow taller. They're far hardier and healthier and smarter. When sickness comes, they're better at defeating it than their ancestors were, and they're not as likely to contract diseases in the first place.

"We're just not falling apart like we used to," says Fogel. "Even our internal organs are stronger and better formed." What has occurred is "not only unique to humankind, but unique among the 7,000 or so generations of human beings who have inhabited the earth." (Sources: "The Human Equation," by Lydialyle Gibson, and "So Big and Healthy Grandpa Wouldn't Even Know You," by Gina Kolata, The New York Times)

We're talking about a revolution. In the mid-19th century, Americans of all ages were much sicker than they are now. Child mortality was almost 25 percent, and of those kids lucky enough to survive into adolescence, 15 percent more expired before age 15. Chronic malnutrition was a horrendous curse, compromising immune systems from birth.

During the Civil War, one-sixth of the teenagers who applied to serve in the Union army were rejected because of chronic ailments like malaria, tuberculosis, arthritis, cardiovascular problems, and hernias. As for the older folks, the average ex-soldier in his 60s had at least six health problems, four more than a sexagenarian is likely to have today.

What happened between then and now? First, we harnessed electricity, made it universally available, and used it in a myriad ways to improve our lot. All of the other boons I'm about to name -- improvements in our diet, medicine, sanitation, and workload -- were organized around this fantastic, unprophesied new resource.

Our relationship with food has changed dramatically in the last century and a half. We discovered more accurate information about our nutritional needs and gained access to a greater variety and abundance of food. The perfection of the science of refrigeration and the eventual universal availability of refrigerators made a big difference, too. Victory over widespread malnutrition meant that infants got a better start on building strong bodies, making them less susceptible to sickness throughout the course of their lives.

The drastic upgrade in the state of the human body was also made possible by steadily growing medical expertise, including the discovery of the germ theory of disease and radical new treatments like antibiotics and vaccination. Physicians got better training, large numbers of new hospitals opened, and more people made medicine their career. Among the diseases that were wiped out were diphtheria, typhoid, cholera, whooping cough, tetanus, tuberculosis, smallpox, and polio.

Innovations in sanitation have been key to the upgrades in the way our bodies work. Everything and everyone are far cleaner than they used to be. People bathe more frequently and devote more attention to their hygiene. Among the most important developments in this triumph were two practical miracles: indoor plumbing and the installation of municipal sewer systems. It took a while. As late as 1920, only one in 100 American homes had a toilet or even a bathroom -- outhouses were standard -- and toilet paper was a luxury. For those few with bathtubs, a full-body cleanse was often a once-a-week ritual, and entire families might use the same bathwater. Fogel says that even into the early 1900s, "Chicago exported a lot of typhoid down to St. Louis," by disposing wastewater in the Illinois River.

Garbage disposal used to be a hit-and-miss proposition until the 20th century. Private citizens might bury their refuse in their backyards, take it to public incinerators, or offer it to pigs at local farms. But eventually, local governments took over the task. During my lifetime, every city where I've lived has done a stellar job of hauling my trash away.

In the middle of the 19th century, the average American worked 78 hours a week, often at exhausting manual labor and without the help of machines. As work became easier and of shorter duration, our health soared. Technological aids like washing machines and automatic heating systems also contributed to the rising tide of physical well-being.

All of the improvements I've mentioned have flourished because of the most important change of all: greater wealth and more available resources. Despite periodic economic downturns, per capita income in the developing nations has grown enormously in the last 150 years. Elsewhere, too: Wealth in India and China has doubled since 1989, according to The Economist magazine. As a result, more of us have been able to afford to take better care of ourselves. And more of us have been able to do the research and experimentation and development that advance the common good.

Even poor people are better off than they used to be. During the 17 years when my annual income was less than $10,000, well below the official poverty line, I had many amenities the average American didn't have in 1900: electricity, telephone, bathtub, toilet, hot running water, refrigerator, radio, electric hotplate, space heater, TV, cassette player, shampoo, public transportation, asthma medicine, access to a laundromat, garbage collection, and sewer system.

Yep its pretty hard to stay afloat as it is isnt it?In my personal case i find i extremely frustrating to be awake in the sense that,well we have have some sort of idea on whats wrong and why we been so messed up due to all this evil outside influences that have been embbeded into our society and into our own history as well,we can all agree how hard it is to try and live a normal life after becoming aware of what the status quo really is all about,but the one thing we just cant seem to figure it out and or reach a consensus that will actually fix all these issues and perhaps give us a little bit of hope somehow that we can actually feel it and know in our hearts that everything will be ok at some point in the near future.So silly me to throw out the question,but what can we do as a whole that will trully generate enough of a energetic revolution to create the necessary chain reaction in society just so we can get this ball rolling once and for all?If we try to help others to see things the way they are and how manipulated we have been for so long,most of the time we get labeled as kooks,conspiracy theories and the list goes on and on,is there even a subtle way of aproaching people to help them wake somehow without activating their trigger defense mechanism that says,you have entered my comfort zone now please move alone i dont want to step out of it at all,i guess you get what i am trying to convey here,sometimes its really painful i tell ya,sometimes you just want to go to sleep and never wake up ever again period!I just wish it was that simple but unfortunately it isnt,well i guess that wasenough venting for one post,nice post by the way reaver,we need more stuff lik this so we can try to figure out how to fix this gigantic mess we all live on .Ok my rant ends here hehe.

We also became dumb because we were not challenged to find solutions for ourselves, we became fat, we began over eating with nothing productive to do in our lives,, we became slaves to corporations rather than working for our own endeavors, we were displaced from our jobs when automation escaped the domestic arena and hit the work place. We don't work 78 hours a week we spend two thirds of that parked in front of a programming unit completely losing whatever connection we have with a natural environment. The body collapsed and the mind went with it. We can't add anymore because we have a computer do it, we can't read anymore because a cassette tells us a story.

We grew food that didn't poison us, and appreciated it for the hard work it takes instead of browsing in grocery stores and wasting half of it because food is a throw away commodity now.

No we waste water, flush flush flush without ever thinking of the implications of it. Everyone's paranoid about the **** coming out of their body without giving a thought to the **** coming out of their head or what sort of **** is filling their head.

To cut to the chase is having a washer and dryer really worth having the loss of your mind? Your essential resources and strength and ingenuity? We used to not have as much garbage because we used to re use every bit there was.

Artificial light to go along with our artificial conditioned air, in our artificial environments. We can't be bothered to work outside we import people who still have the wherewithall to stand outside for an hour without fainting and then pay them **** wages for doing the things we can't be bothered to do.

Amenities do not equal well being. Especially if they have become a crutch and are making us dumber by the minute.

most movies, drama on tv, and sporting events, video games, all promote violence . Look how many countries the U.S. has invaded and killed women and children in name of freedom, the lame stream media calls them heroes, fighting for freedom . that insanity, you're not free until you kill someone from another country and replace the leader with a person who is easily controlled by threats from the secretary of state and the thought of the foreign aid being cut. mind control works , killing is big business. Making murder common place is slipped into the fiber of the world. Its okay to kill a human, or an unborn baby , but you kill an endangered bird, fish, etc and your ass is grass and the government is the lawn mower.

Thank you Kimberley for providing evidence to substantiate my earlier remarks about false peace with providing us with an authentic copy of scripted Peace Program.

The recorded version is for times when the textual scripting doesn't sink its claws into your psyche the first time?

Take a look at the words in red. It pretty much defines what Reaver (and myself) noted about loading the psyche with opposing core values. The universe showers us with blessings....and people provide their own evidence.

Instead of expressing and articulating the actual energies of the universe you can ACT and BEHAVE as if you are! For those who have trouble with manifestation now, you can pretend you are!

Reaver says Violent or Peaceful? I say Dumber.

Peace Programming is an artificial installation so one doesn't notice the violence around them and in making note of it perhaps be compelled to do something about it--think about it, articulate it, intellectualize it, find the source of it, examining it. We can't have those damned sheep objecting to the violence that is instigated in the world.

Good to know you are alive and well, Arpheus.

In my view there's no such a thing as a massive energetic revolution so that we can all become free and hold hands while we sing. Becoming free is an individual task where no two beings can walk the same road. This is what all the teachers which I consider to be great have been saying for years and years and after thinking deeply about it, I reached the same conclusion.

It is not about what can we do, it's about what can you do to make a difference in your own life, in your own being. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that people should become hermits living in an ivory tower with zero contact and/or cooperation with other humans. The trick comes when you try to mantain and develop a sane individuality, that's a solo stand.

Some people are unable to cope with the anxiety that being aware brings into their life and they start to buy into collective dreams of blissful peace and refuse to take the trips to their own Hades or subconscious/unconscious if you prefer a more scientific term. When you really think about it you can see such a thing is not that different from the dynamics being carried out by the average folk. They've been so traumatized, so sedated by a psychopathic priest class -and to a degree their own lack of Will- that they lack any inner strenght so many of them buy into a symbolic power which they deem to be far more powerful and far above themselves in an attempt to have a small degree of self-worth. It's a powerful psychological mechanism which gives people a pseudo-self to fill the void they feel within themselves, that void can be a product of being ignorant and sedated.... or some may buy into the new age versions because they don't know or they don't what to deal with the void they experience because of their new found awareness.

The latter could be more tragic than the former because in that scenario you find yourself staring at your own abyss, maybe it's full of fear and depression, but if you muster enough courage and jump right into it you'll have the opportunity of coming out as a stronger individual. Sadly many people refuse to take the trip and instead buy their tickets for the "Enlightment Express" train which is another way to further dissociate your own Self.

Until enough people realize that the journey towards freedom it's individual and until they muster the enough courage to start such journey, things will remain pretty much the same. At most you'll see changes on the street level, but forget about any meaningful and lasting changes which allow every human to reach their Omega point.

As for waking other people up... have a look at the first "Matrix" film, it's explained in a wonderful way. Some people are beyond "salvation" and others are not ready yet... and even if you are ready, you must have the courage to take the ball and run with it all the way. I mean even the Cypher character who woke up from his slumber surrendered his Will to the Matrix. It's not a walk in the park all the time.

I think we a far less violent than in times past, but with the advent of technology we are able to actually see more of what is going on in the world, I think it makes it seem to be more prevalent. But overall I'm sure the average person is much safer than a few hundred years ago, by far. we are a stubborn species and I think its just a slow process.

Bloody hell, that video illustrates the idea of toxic collectivism perfectly. Not to mention the extreme infantilism, which is another huge problem.

It's something disturbing really, everyone wearing different clothes, but the same psychological attitude and some call that individuality... well that's a "revolution" for anyone who is desperate to be absorved into a happy dystopia.
