The American Dream
Once upon a time, the American Dream was a house with a picket fence, a couple of kids and a dog. This was in our lifetime, yet feels like it was a thousand years ago.
The house with the picket fence has morphed into mansions, vacation properties, and yachts. The American Dream is now just money - and as unholy much of it as possible.
Once becoming a millionaire was extraordinary. Now it is not enough. The goal has become billions and even trillions. Success is gold plated cars, buildings, boats, and bathrooms.
This is a testament to the success of the programming, instituted by entities in Power, starting very long ago. The strategies have Paid Off in spades.
Willing Enslavement
Big Commerce and Materialism has been so accepted, embraced, and integrated by our Society that we have become blind to the programming that was executed to get us here.
It has gone unnoticed that the key to this rat race was to keep the consumer believing that they were never good enough and locked/chained into constantly seeking external validation. Social media was a godsend to Big Commerce and Materialism on so many levels. The combination of these entities created a Powerhouse that capitalized on these two vulnerabilities of the Human Psyche, in the extreme.
We now have generations of puppets - competing to be the better puppet. Believing that gaming matters, that being rich matters, that the most followers matters, that where you go to school matters, that having more and more and more matters. We have young girls and women willing to compromise their integrity, their authenticity, and their sanctity to obtain a handbag that is a status symbol.
Power and money have won the game. We have willingly reached out our hands and asked for the shackles. We cannot get enough of being led around in chains. Power and money are the victors. Willing enslavement was always the end game.
Programmed
We have generations that have been successfully Programmed, and feed the machine like the automatons that they have become. No need for creating artificial robots. Our society is rife with living robots.
It began at the beginning, all the way back to Ur. (Root Cause)
Persons in Power figured out the Human Psyche long long long ago. Keeping a person focused outside of themselves, chronically seeking approval from their fellow man, and redemption from a god/the gods, left humanity, and its imprisoned Psyche, like putty in the hands of the Powerful - to be toyed with like Pawns. And so it is.
Deprogramming
Why bring all of this up in the middle of a discussion on Vertical Time? Because, in order to move to the next level of understanding of the Human Psyche and Psychological Freedom - you will need to deprogram. It will not be possible to cross to the next level holding on to the indoctrination and dogmas of our present Society. It requires Deprogramming. No automaton has ever found its way to Freedom.
