Some thoughts from Courtney Brown of the Farsight Institute

Terran note: I found this document while searching for some legal documents for Heather in several boxes. Its nothing confidential as it widely distributed on the Internet by Courtney Brown in 2014.  

There are some good points in here regarding the nature of belief and the effort those who control go to maintain certain beliefs and notions.  I will make comments in red (as is my practice) and highlight portions below in bold that are particularly good to keep in mind.  I will be coming back to these points in subsequent posts.

Courtney Brown post January 23, 2014

These postings refer to an announcement made on 15 March 2014. The announcement was available at www.farsight.org and elsewhere. These postings are designed to encourage broad public discussion of the March 2014 announcement. They do not directly address the specific content of the announcement.

1. At least some of the claims made by Zecharia Sitchin and others involving extraterrestrial interference with human development on Earth in the ancient past appear to be true. This posting does not speak to the issue of Nibiru or its existence.
   
   [There is good evidenice that Sitchin had an agenda, and was probably financed by those control the banking system.  On ocaisions I have noticed those front ending the Chinese Dragon family using Sitchin's data to imply the Draco created humans, thus given them the "right" somehow to monetize humanity.  Babylon/Sumer was the origin of this current incarnation of banking.  Humans existed prior to Sumer in Atlantis 1 and 2 and there were many civilizations on Earth. This article is worth a look at: https://exopolitics.org/sitchins-sumerian-text-translations-contrived-by-illuminati-to-promote-false-alien-religion/]
   
2. New evidence suggests that Earth may have been "run,,. in a manner analogous to a prison planet in the ancient past, where religions and monumental construction projects were engineered under near slavery conditions, possibly for the purposes of inhibiting civilization development as well as collective memory. While these efforts appear to have been interrupted, it is possible that residual disruptive influences remain.
   
   [From my data this was particular true after the Fall of Atlantis 2 which was the only civilization at that time technologically advanced enough to repel the Reptilian invasion, hence the reason it was subverted from within and without. In the long term view, the fall accerated the colllapse of this experiment in separation consciousness - things would get so bad nobody would want to continue this experience. ]
   
   
3. Throughout all of history, profound change to human civilization has never resulted simply from the exercise of brute force. Such transformations have only resulted from the widespread acceptance of new knowledge, new ideas. Knowledge reasserts free will, something that can only be surrendered voluntarily by individuals and groups who are led to believe something that benefits the few who seek control over the many. Absent those beliefs, no physical force can stand, no matter how oppressive.
   
   
4. Above all else, those who govern seek to control what the masses accept as true, and there is nothing that they will not do in order to achieve this since it is the sole source of their power. The belief that those who govern would not brazenly manipulate knowledge simply for their own benefit is the single most important belief that supports their continued reign. This belief always leads to confusion, despair, and relentless cynicism from within the ranks of those who are controlled. Once this belief is abandoned , free will returns absolutely, and great change is inevitable.
   
   
5. If Earth was once run as a "prison planet" in ancient times, then that would imply that many humans living on Earth experienced something elsewhere-perhaps far away-that resulted in them either fleeing to Earth, or being expelled to Earth. Prison authorities would likely attempt to engage the prison population in activities and belief systems that would sap their energies and suppress their memories of who they are and where they came from. Such activities and beliefs would also prevent a revolt, and subsequent demands for restitution, reparations , and justice. This assumes that memory across separate timelines is normally possible in the previous environment.
   
   
6. There are two ways extraterrestrials can arrive on Earth. A few arrive on ships, and they clearly remember where they came from and why they are here . But most choose to be born here, and they don't remember much. Yet everyone remembers something, even if only vaguely, and personalities persist. If there was a conflict somewhere far away in ancient days, and Earth became a prison planet as a result of this conflict , then both the freedom fighters and their pursuers would arrive through both means, ships and birth . Both would feel the urge to continue the old struggle, acting out old roles, some with full memory, and some without. Those with full memory would lose their advantage if they revealed themselves.

8.  The theft of nuclear weapons technology from the United States during World War II and the Cold War carried with it an important lesson. It is impossible to keep crucial information secret by putting it under lock and key since that only emphasizes its value, and a determined adversary will always find a way to obtain it. The only way to keep such information contained is to keep it in plain sight while simultaneously minimizing its significance.
   
   To this end, interested people need to be drawn off to unproductive leads, and mainstream news must be induced to ridicule and discredit the subject and those who are interested. In all of the world today, there is no higher level of secrecy given to any subject more than the real potential of remote viewing in the context of optimal training and implementation. [I would say how banking works is an even tighter held secret. The amount of ridicule we saw in the court case here in Knoxville is proof of that.]
   
   
9. "The Powers That Be" maintain their control over the masses due to the widespread belief that acceptable information must be "officially" endorsed or released by the appropriate elite. When reality does not match the information released by TPTB, tension results, and an endless cycle of cries from within the masses erupts calling for an "official" release of information that will resolve the tension. These cries for "official" information have the unintended consequence of reinforcing both the belief that TPTB have control over what is or is not acceptable, and the psychology that the masses are impotent to defy that control. TPTB never have an incentive to resolve the tension, since it is the tension itself that solidifies their position of power.
   
   
10. Many people think that great change on Earth will arrive through things like Earth changes, cataclysms, presidential revelations, extraterrestrials landing, pole shifts, second comings, God's wrath, and so on. They hope that these things might change people and thus make the world better. But this can never happen . The masses experience all such events passively, essentially as victims, and victims don't change anything . Salvation from any hardship, trauma, or confusion can never be achieved passively, or by begging someone else to give it to you , whether you do it with prayer or a vote. No elite, however wise, can transform a planet for the better with the stroke of a pen or a speech. This is not how worlds are changed.


11. Humanity is a collective intelligence. A collective intelligence changes only when the thoughts of many people evolve. By thinking differently, people create a change in their reality . It is impossible for the thoughts of a single individual to do this alone, whether that person be the president of a nation, a saint, or a commoner. It is useless to petition the elites to change society, for those people became elites in the first place by reflecting the consciousness of the society as it was. When the society changes, only then do the elites change . There is no escape from the fact that if one wants a better world, one has to work with the masses , since the masses themselves literally have to think their way into that better world. There are no exceptions to this.
    
    
12. It may not be easy for most humans to remote view accurately. But the fact that it can be done by even one human, means that the consciousness of every human extends throughout all of time and space. It is not possible to remote view something in the past if one is not -in some sense -alive in the past, since one has to exist in the past in order to perceive it. The same would be true of the future. Thus, consciousness cannot be bound by physical death; it must survive physical death, since we can extend consciousness beyond our points of birth and death even now when we are physical beings. This also implies that our experiences as physical beings are limited only by our beliefs, since only our beliefs can limit our perceptions, and our perceptions define what we experience.
    
    
13. In the past, extraterrestrials have occasionally intervened in human affairs by causing a change in the beliefs of the masses. Some extraterrestrials have acted like gods to cause humans to believe in slavery and suffering. Other extraterrestrials have acted like gods to cause humans to believe in the end of slavery and suffering. But always this involved changing beliefs , and acting like gods is an easy trick to change the beliefs of the many. Our perceptions define our experiences, since we can only experience what we perceive . And our perceptions are only limited by our beliefs. We will always see and experience what we believe to be true.
    
    
14. An announcement that will explain the past and positively influence the future development of human civilization on Earth will be made on the Ides of March 2014.  [Promo for Farsight Institute]
    
    
15. The significance of the Ides of March is not that Julius Caesar died , for Caesar was but a man, and all men die. Rather , the date marks the end of an era of belief that the corruption and tyranny of the existing system of governance was unchangeable. That is still what the Ides of March stands for today, a date reminding all who live on this planet that no set of beliefs stands forever. Revolution never requires violence, since there is plenty of violence that does not bring revolution. Revolution has only one meaning ; it is a rapid shifting of beliefs among the masses, which means that the practiced thoughts of the past stop, and new thoughts replace the old. Once a year, the Ides of March stands as our reminder that we have within us the power to change the way we think.
    
    
16. Remember that the leadership of a country always reflects the consciousness of the people. There are no exceptions to that, regardless of whether the leadership is virtuous or dastardly. Contemporary physics on Earth does not fully explain why this is so, although pieces of the puzzle are in clear sight if scientists would only connect the dots. Nonetheless, it is a consequence of a universal law, whether one understands why it is so or not. For this reason, it is never useful to be angry at a nation's leadership, for the people truly do shape their own destiny regardless of who leads them. If you want to change the world for the better , the only thing that will work is to introduce a new idea to the people with clarity and focus, and then let it spread. The leadership will adapt to the new idea only when the people accept it.
    
    
17. The fact that the leadership of a country always reflects the consciousness of the people does not mean that there is no need for the people to take action. We live in a universe where action is a natural consequence of thought. All actions result from thoughts of desired change. We often attribute the change to the actions. But the reality is that the change in our thoughts is the true origin of the change in our experienced manifestations, since the actions would never have occurred had the thoughts not changed first. When change does not occur, it is because we continue to think the same thoughts of frustration and the impossibility of change. If we want change , then we must change our thoughts, and nothing does this more effectively than the introduction of new information.
    
    
18. "The Powers That Be" have essentially unlimited resources, both financial and physical. They use these resources to monopolize the information that the masses are shown , for that is their only truly effective means of controlling what the masses believe. They know that no movement can successfully challenge this control without the dissemination of new information that contradicts the flow of stories that solidifies their power. Direct censorship never works well, for there are always attempts to circumvent it. But since any input of new information requires a minimum threshold of resources to be effective, the highest priority of "The Powers That Be" is to financially starve potentially respectable sources of dissenting information.
    
    [This point is particularly salient since the defeat of Hillary Clinton in the last election. Google and other large data companies have labeled bloggers and YouTuber creators "fake news" and deprived them of advertising (whose money comes from elite owned companies) in attempt to suppress views opposite those of the elite/deep state.
    
    "The Powers that Be" have had unlimited resources because they had commandeered the entire planet's value from the people living here.]
    
    
    
19. Physical bondage is always temporary, since there will always be efforts to resist it, and the effort to maintain it consumes constant and draining resources. Psychological bondage is long lasting and cost effective, since it simply requires the brainwashing of a population held in informational isolation. Brainwashing a large population involves the continual application of repetitive ideas over a long period of time. Some of these ideas are defensive and aimed at immunizing the population from the appeals of competing and dissenting informational sources. Promoting cynicism toward such sources is a key ingredient for success. Any attempt to free a population subject to brainwashing will require a sustained effort over a long stretch of time, necessitating ongoing financial and physical resources.
    
    
20. The contemporary practice that utilizes the masses themselves to act as censors of dissenting information was initiated in the 1950s. Typically, individuals ( called "seeders") are strategically placed in any audience listening to a potentially threatening alternate information source . The job of seeders is to consistently challenge the purpose and accuracy of the information source ( a process known as "cheer leading") until authentic and well-meaning members of the audience begin to repeat the challenges by themselves. The strategically placed individuals are then withdrawn, leaving no evidence of mass manipulation . Honest critics in the audience vehemently deny the existence of strategic attacks, unwittingly covering the tracks of the seeders.
    
    
21. Planetary change can only come about through the widespread exchange of new information and new ideas among the masses. "The Powers That Be" obviously know this, and efforts will always be made to disrupt positive and transformative discussions that could lead to revolutionary awakening. "Seeders" and "cheerleading" are crucial elements in these disruptive efforts. The only way for a dissenting person or organization to circumvent such disruptive efforts is to avoid utilizing single or highly centralized venues for voicing public opinion and discussion. That is, the masses themselves must assume the responsibility for forming and maintaining diverse and decentralized positive discussion venues. It is not possible to disrupt discussion venues when there are many, all monitored by their own members.
    
    
22. Beware of "flytrap" organizations, media outlets, and people. When people become in interested in new ideas that may threaten the credibility of an established authority in the eyes of the masses, the role of "flytraps" is to lead such people into unproductive settings . "Flytraps" spin your wheels, but you don't go anywhere. You can discover a "flytrap" by trusting your feelings, your intuitions. If you feel a "pinch" or a sense of being restricted, then the organization, media outlet, or people are probably part of a "flytrap." If you feel exuberant with the thrill of discovery and new ideas, then there may be some real value in interacting in that setting. Trust your feelings. They are your only real guide to a truly self-determined future.
    
    
23. If our experiences as physical beings are defined only by what we perceive, and our perceptions are limited only by our beliefs of what can or cannot be, then life is not supposed to be painful. Life can only be painful if we believe it to be painful, no matter what the apparent cause, and no matter what the degree of perceived trauma. Nothing that is not believed can be perceived. Thus, humans are not automatically destined to suffer, and sin and redemption are beliefs of control, not automatic elements of the human condition. Revolutions are simply rapid shifts away from beliefs that were previously held by many, beliefs of pain and suffering that are finally discarded. Those who benefited from those beliefs lose control and power when this happens.
