Injustice is the deadliest weapon of mass destruction. It can penetrate and plant suggestion deeply into the soul, below the level of consciousness. The greater the injustice the more sure the sympathy, and then the suggestibility is guaranteed.
Notice how a drunk father is hated by his wife and later his children. The injustice of his drunkenness creates hate in the wife. She often embellishes the harm done to her and gains the sympathy of the children.
Once that sympathy is resident, mom now has the power to plant any suggestion she wants.
Once an impression is made, the victim is destined to surrender his will to those who know how to “press his buttons.” Those who understand and use this dark art have a kind of addiction to the effortless power granted by the victim’s past conditioning.
It is the emotional reaction of the victim that empowers the manipulator. One objective gaze at the mind-bender and he is finished.
Generally speaking, the least stubborn of implanted behaviors tend to lose their force over time as people are left alone to shake off the suggestions and wake up from their stupor. You are free to take back control of your life with the next “relationship.”
Since we do not live in a bubble, it is impossible to travel very far through life without encountering new stresses, new manipulators, as well as the reinforcing effects of the buried, familiar ones.
The missing ingredient to all our freedom boils down to understanding how daily doses of resentment keep all of our past conditioning alive. Struggle is the equivalent of feeding the problem and making matters worse. It is like throwing fat on the fire to put it out.
Struggling means sinking more quickly into an emotional swamp that will bury you. To struggle means to cooperate with the cause of your destruction.

There are two places where predators live. First they are outside. Then they get inside your head, by virtue of your angry reactions and resentments. Struggling against their images in your mind has exactly the same effect as struggling with a real person, causing burnout and surrender.
Externally conditioned people with little identity of their own have a desperate need to be serviced by their corrupters. Buy a Paul McCarthy concert ticket and you are cooked.
Such people tend to re-create and then rearrange the circumstance of their childhood, their marriage, and all that is equivalent to self-induced, post-hypnotic suggestion. Most people in the world exist in this altered state of consciousness, established by and sustained through stress — in the bigger picture, what we call culture.
Life and culture have become hypnotic. The very pressures of life exert a hypnotic influence on us all.
Every race, color and creed tends to defend its particular existence against other cultures, to its death. It is black against white, old against young, class warfare, and husband against wife. It is all a matter of with whom we identify.
Right or wrong, the ground of our being becomes not our common humanity, but rather our familiar customs, country, language and borders.
And so, by the chance of birth, we all forget who we really are and who originally created us in His image. We have completely forgotten the paradise that might have been, all lost in the wind of suggestion-induced conditioning.
Were it not for our petty loyalties, we would all be united as brothers and sisters beneath our skins.
