Mind Control in a Structured Society
See, hear, think, believe me.
Since our early childhood we have relied on our family to introduce to us the locally accepted norms of behaviour, customs and beliefs of our society or familiy clan. The people exerting the most influence were our family members, friends and neighbours. The social behaviour skills and traditional beliefs that we have inherited were theirs to give. And so, we have become our fathers' sons or our mothers's daughters. Yet, are we predestined to inherit their lot in life as they have inherited from their parents? Are we as limited by lack of choices in our career options as they were? Can we breach the barriers of sociol economic strata and escape the ramparts of our inherited lifepath?
Consider the reflections upon one's options by individuals in other societies with more stringent rules of behaviour. An individual's prospective options in more diverse societies may be limited due to; a low social birth status as in the caste structure in India, a commoner class birth in a heritage oriented society in Britain, an ethnic clan birth origin in the tribal clan structure in Somalia or a lower class neighbourhood origin in a glib judgemental posturing social strata in United States.
Peoples' concepts everywhere have been influenced by entrenched traditions and ideology instilled into them by others. Their beliefs become your beliefs, their fears become your fears, and so on with loyalty, fears, value systems and prejudice. Thus you have become converted, subverted, indoctrinated, controlled, conformed, non dissenting and non resenting.
Yet, some day when you decide to become free, on that day, you may want to join Me.
