       The nature of self-discovery is just that.  SELF DISCOVERY.
Its very nature indicates that all insights come from within as
reflected from without.  For truly we are all One.  Truth is the
mirror by which all illusion is reflected.  Word twisters play the
game of "I am not the truth, but I am the conduit for the truth." What
you have said in this article is an example of what one who is skilled
in words can do with the many manipulations of the "letter" of the
word.  What cannot be tampered with, however,  is the "spirit" of the
word.  

    Conditioned minds have great difficulty with coming to the truth,
as they are incapable of distinguishing the "Truth" from the idea of
truth.  People react negatively to the words "Mind Control."  Why?
A prideful ego cannot face the light of truth.  It disturbs them.  The
ego prefers to retreat into the pleasurable, seductive, illusory
fantasies based in positive imagery.  A pained ego prefers the
temporary comfort which escape provides, to the starkness of the truth
that reflects the violent and suffering-ladened world it has made for
itself.

     Brainwashing is hypnosis.  It begins with our educational system
when it takes young, fresh, open minds of our children and begins to
mold religious, social, and political views along with the rightful
technical 3r's.  Conditioned parents can't see  what the child sees,
because the corruption of brainwashing broke their spirit long ago.
It is this sin of the parents that is passed on to their children.
They must have the child mimic their own corrupted "values."  With
each new generation that is born "our" world has the opportunity for
true spiritual change through these liberated young souls.  Yet that
possibility is short lived when the parents feel the pain of their own
lost innocence when they look into the eyes of their uncorrupted
child. It reminds them of their pre-capitulation days.  Through the
hypnotic stranglehold of a lifeless habitual reactionary mind,
conditioned parents feel compelled to go about the methodical
destruction of their child's mirroring innocence.

   You and the others mentioned at the bottom of this post are
disturbed by what I am saying on the Internet. When ridicule has
failed, some have engaged in a censorship campaign in an attempt to
prevent my posts from appearing on the net altogether.  It is still
going on.  Why?  My personal view is that the truth of my words
mirrors the pain of all who find themselves trapped by living in a
conditioned world.  I haven't counted, but there are perhaps fewer
than a dozen people out of the entire world who have actively set out
to stop my writing on the net.  Of these,  the spectre of cult
influence widely looms over their collective efforts.  The most
resistance to my words has come from Roy Masters supporters. Then
there is you, Bon, who make no secret of your proselytizing efforts on
behalf of the Sai Baba group.  Then there is the Maitreya movement.  

     That which is held in common by these members and supporters of
these groups is that my words are an anathema to them.  Again, Why?
My comments expose the mind control techniques used by institutions of
power which cannot continue with their agenda should people wake up
from their hypnotic influence.  This is really what is going on
presently with this "jump on the bandwagon" petty smear campain.  The
clear observation of this is the timeless technique of evading the
truth: Screw the message, kill the messenger.

    Bon, I am not going to engage in futile argument over this matter.
A wise man once said "By their actions, Ye shall know them."  Look at
the insane condition of our world.  See what we humans have made of
it.  Then examine the spirit behind the words of this post and allow
the rest of the world to determine for themselves whose words
accurately describe the outcome of such manifested insanity.  Having
said that, I invite all to pay close attention to the "spirit of the
word" remaining  in this post. It may open your eyes.
