    Question The big deception: About the forces behind the many faces of deception in this world

    The lack of logic

    In my quest to find out what was implanted in my head I noticed something strange.
    All doctors seem to systematically reject any sound thinking when it concerns this issue. All the answers they gave were void of logic.

    Now I can already hear you guys say:
    “That’s old news”
    I know everyone probably got confronted with some type of illogical answers from “professionals”, especially in the last few years.

    Everybody knows there are power structures and financial incentives in society that make it so that corrupt practices are sometimes encouraged. It are these same structures that create an environment in which a lot of service-providing institutions are not focused on helping people anymore, but rather behave like machines that serve their own interests.

    But for this type of top down influence to take roots there must also be a fertile ground.

    The question is what mechanisms are at play that create this type of fertile ground (besides those we already know).


    Impact of compliance (Asch conformity experiment) in scientific research, medical field, legal system, politics etc.

    It made me think of the Asch experiment (and narcissistic group settings).

    In the Asch experiment, a student was shown one line and three comparison lines and had to pick the one that matched. Even when the correct line was obvious, many students chose the wrong line to go along with the (wrong) answers of the majority of the participants (who were all actors).

    It showed that many people will deny what they see and submit to group pressure.

    This test was quite benign in nature and had no adverse effects in real life.,

    But if students behave like this the question is:

    Quote “What impact conformity has in other spheres of society, like: scientific research, medical field, court cases, legal matters, politics, schools, universities, diet trends, fashion trends etc.?”

    Real life conformity example (from the medical field)

    (You can skip this part if you're more in to the theorethical side. This is a personal real life example.)

    Above is very theoretical, but on a more practical level it leads to the following (real life example):

    There’s clearly a difference in size. Still according to the story in my medical file those should be the same.

    Can you notice any difference between:

    What do you think?

    Do the implants shown on my MRI match the examples/size of what supposed to be in there?


    Conformity: A cure in moderation, a poison in overdose?[B]

    I’m sure conformity had benefits for survival in groups …. For it can lead to some type of group cohesion, that forms a protection for the tribe/group.

    So, if there exists something like positive conformity, then where lies the difference between constructive-positive group behaviour and
    when does this tendency to follow, become like a poison?

    I get the impression that in many situations this tendency to conform is more due to the laziness, stupidity or avoidance of responsibility of people.

    Maybe the danger lies in the scope of this type of behaviour. Due to its frequent lack of meta-awareness and low self-awareness it can, when it becomes more rigid and widespread, lead to the worst outcomes.
    For example on a bigger scale this type of conformity mechanisms can most likely also be used to label and dehumanise certain populations etc. and can consequently lead to violence, civil unrest, even war and mass hypnosis


    Totalitarian Compliance vs Pathological non-conformity

    On the other end of the spectrum individuals might chose to not conform to the extend that they go against everyone else, purely in a quest for authenticity, yet lack the awareness of interconnectedness of everything and everyone. It creates a type of tunnel vision in which they ignore complete pieces of reality in order to hold on to their own believes.

    The strange thing is that both blind conformity and pathological non-conformity are ways in which people hold themselves together, by using their rationale to limit their own thinking and feeling capacity. In essence they limit themselves from letting broader awareness sink in.

    In the end both lead to a similar type of skewed view on the world and reality and consequently both can have the same disastrous effects.

    But to keep it simple (for now):

    In a way the big deception is how conformity is blinding us from seeing the emperor has NO clothes.

    It’s one of the subtle mechanisms behind the veil of rationality enabling much of the cruelty in this world


    How everyone is affected

    I think the pressure to conform to things we know aren’t right is much more prevalent and subtle than we’d like it to be, making it so that everybody is having the influence on some level in their life. Even if one does not want to admit to it.

    People still trust corrupt hospital practices and institutes & corrupt people, while knowing better. They know things are corrupted on many levels, but have faith such things will not affect them or their loved ones. In a way people that naïvely believe in that the systems we rely on practice what they preach, while knowing better, are tricked in to enabling cruelty eyes wide shut.

    (Example: The current focus of the medical system is not on healing people, but on making profits. You only need to look at medical bills ...)


    The evil way

    In a way people and professions that comply to obviously flawed narratives negate their own importance and are working to undermine their own credibility on a daily basis
    Sadly there are more professions that are built on these types of lies and deception, than we like to realise.
    In a sense all the important structures that shape society have gotten affected with above attitudes to some degree, negating the very function they stand for.

    Luckily people are not fooled as easily anymore.

    Hopefully people can become even more aware (recognise we have this flaw in our human nature and try to work on it) and people & systems will, as a result, change for the better.


    To what extend do you think conformity & compliance plays a role in creating a fertile breeding ground for the big deception?

    What do you see as the most important reasons for why this big deception is taking place?

    No darkness without light: An argument for owning our shadows
    Paul Levy/Awaken In the Dream
    May 06, 2026
    https://substack.com/home/post/p-196608754

    "The shadow is simultaneously the obstacle to our light as well as the doorway to it.
    As human beings we are all potential angels or demons, not a composite of the two. When we are most ourselves we’re not a summation of opposites but a union, a co-incidence of opposites.

    It is a profoundly important step in our individuation process—and something we’ve all heard numerous times—to “own our shadow,” i.e., to recognize that the darkness we see in and react to in others is a reflection of the darkness within ourselves. There is no getting around owning our shadow, and yet this is only one step in the process of becoming whole.

    As humans we are an intermediary species, in that we are situated and in suspense between two worlds. This is to say that we are potential angels or demons, not a composite of the two. Our true nature is not a mixture of divine light and demonic shadow. Who we are when we are most ourselves—when we are one with our nature—is not a summation of antithetical elements1, but a union, a co-incidence of opposites where something that contains and is greater than either/both of the opposites is revealed through us. To the extent that we haven’t fully connected with our true light, however, we are an admixture of light and dark that obscures the light of our soul from both seeing and being seen.

    This is a roundabout way of saying that in addition to owning the darkness that belongs to us, we also need to separate out from ourselves the darkness that is not ours. I imagine we’ve all had experiences of having a negative perception of something or someone and then realizing that this is not how we actually feel. In this moment we are consciously realizing that we are taking on someone (or something) else’s perspective on the world that is not our own. Many of us suffer from unconsciously being overly identified with and wedded to either the personal and/or collective shadow, thereby blocking our inner light from shining forth (as well as stopping the light of the universe from being taken in and nourishing us).

    Distinguishing ourselves from darkness that doesn’t belong to us is to cast off a shadow, one that has welded itself to us through the blindness of our own unconscious identification with it.
    Commenting on this process, the alchemical treatise Corpus Hermeticum admonishes us to save ourselves from our unconsciousness, saying:

    “You must tear off this garment which you wear—this cloak of darkness.”

    Taking off the dark garment that has intermingled with and blocked our essential nature helps us to get more in touch with ourselves, allowing us to begin to commune in sacred partnership with the light that is our true nature.

    If we are not owning, but rather projecting our shadow outside of ourselves (which is itself the shadow in action), and/or if we are in unconscious identification with the darkness that isn’t ours (another strategy of the shadow), we are superposing a veil of darkness between ourselves and our own light. Overshadowing ourselves, we intercept our own light, disfiguring it (as well as ourselves), while rendering our light invisible to ourselves. Our vision is then obscured by our own darkness, which we are seeing in projected form reflected back in the mirror of the world while at the same time being the lens through which we see the world. Becoming opaque to ourselves, the light of our own soul doesn’t register to us, which is to say that we don’t recognize our nature.

    The part of us that sees how the shadow works through our unconscious blind-spots, be it by projecting itself outside of ourselves, or by fooling us to overly identify with it, is itself shadow-less, which is to say it is a form of light—light upon light—that is free of and doesn’t cast a shadow. This is a higher-dimensional form of light—the light of our true nature—that includes, embraces and transcends the duality of light and darkness.

    Paradoxically, recognizing our own darkness helps us to recognize our intrinsic light, a light that illumines us from the inside out and from the bottom up. Recognizing the light that is our nature helps us to rise up from, get over, leave behind and transcend the darkness of our lower self. No longer binding us or holding us captive, our lower self effortlessly and naturally falls away as though it had never existed in the first place. The more we put on our garment of light, the less need we have to project the shadow outside of ourselves or identify with the shadow that others throw onto us. No longer out-sourcing our own light, we become the source of our own light.

    The more we step into our light, the more the mirror-like light of our nature reciprocally steps into and becomes us, as we more embody and become it. Continually orienting towards fully uniting with and realizing our light, the light of our nature summons us to the perpetual transcendence and overcoming of ourselves in the never-ending process of becoming who we are.

    Making this point in his own unique way, professor of Islamic studies Henry Corbin writes, “the redemption of [Goethe’s] Faust is not a ‘sum total’ of Faust and Mephistopheles.”
