The truth about your mind's programming is both unsettling and empowering. Your neural pathways—shaped by childhood experiences, media consumption, and repetitive thoughts—determine your reality much like a computer's operating system dictates its functions.
It's been argued that we are living amid a widespread mental manipulation that Carl Jung and modern psychologists recognize as mass psychosis—an epidemic of madness where society becomes untethered from reality. The mechanisms are sophisticated: waves of fear interspersed with calm periods, contradictory information that confuses rational thinking, and constant digital overstimulation that prevents reflection. This "menticide," or killing of the mind, renders us susceptible to control by those who profit from our confusion.
Modern evolutionary biology reveals that collaboration, not competition, drives successful evolution—contrary to the distorted Darwinian "survival of the fittest" narrative that keeps us stressed, isolated, and anxious while benefiting only the privileged few. Meanwhile, screens function as digital opiates, delivering dopamine hits that create addiction cycles while preventing deeper self-reflection.
The good news? Neural plasticity works both ways. The same repetition that programmed limiting beliefs can be harnessed through intentional affirmations to reshape your neural connections. Faith and fear both require believing in something unseen, but they create vastly different realities—one manifests heaven on earth, the other hell. By recognizing ourselves as spiritual beings having a physical experience, we can reprogram our minds to align with our true nature and the universal order.

Speaker 1 (00:05):
Hello everyone and welcome to the seventh episode
of the Manhattan Prophet podcast.
I am the Manhattan Prophet.
Thank you all who have joinedwith your support in this battle
for truth and empowerment, whoare standing up for freedom both
internally and in the worldaround us.
As a reminder, so that nothingis lost in translation, I'm here
to ensure that all knowledge Igive you finds meaning in a
(00:25):
practical place in your everydaylives.
It's only through properlydigesting knowledge, in this
case of ourselves and the worldaround us, that we see things
clearly enough to break oldpatterns of behavior and begin a
new path forward to aheightened state of
consciousness.
Today we are going to discussthe idea of programming
Programming our minds and comingto terms with the fact that we
(00:46):
receive information all the timethat impacts our understanding
of everything.
A human being is programmable.
It's, in our nature, verysimilar to a computer.
In fact, we are developing muchof the neural networking of
artificial intelligence aroundthe mapping of our own neural
networks.
Our inputs from the worldaround us determine what we will
output.
This output is the movie youare directing and which you
(01:07):
identify as yourself.
These outputs collectively willcreate the human condition and
the aggregate.
So, like a computer.
If a human being has a faultyoperating system, which is
basically what controls whathappens on the computer, how
programs get launched, howmemory is used, then you get a
faulty human being, a humanbeing who doesn't know how best
(01:27):
to govern him or herself andlive an optimal life internally
and in the world around them.
A computer's operating system'sviability, for example, is
determined by the formatting ofthe hard drive.
This can be compared to achild's formative years, the
first five or six years of theirlife.
Notice the use of the wordformative.
It's like the format years,like a format on a hard drive.
(01:52):
At this time in a child's life,the parents and what they see
in the immediate environmentdetermine the programming they
receive.
Let's say the developers or theparents didn't really care
about programming them correctly.
Do you think that the computeror the child is going to operate
properly and have theconstitution and consciousness
that is optimal?
What happens when parents don'tput the programming as a
priority or simply don't havethe time to do it and leave it
(02:13):
up to the media sources andsocial media to provide that
child with their understandingof the world around them.
Well, what happens is it willcontribute to a deteriorating
condition on a mass scale.
Like a computer, the behavior ofa human being largely depends
upon its programming, and itsprogramming is the quality of
the information that is beinginputted into it.
This then determines thequality of the output, the
(02:34):
output in this case being thegeneral moral values, way of
life and collectiveconsciousness of the society at
large.
So if crap goes in, guess whatCrap comes out?
We really are complex andbeautifully balanced beings if
we choose to respect thatbalance and not use ourselves or
(02:55):
allow ourselves to be used theway we have been.
So what are the things we putinto human beings and by human
beings I mean children andadults alike that are crucial?
Well, what I consider to beextremely important is correct
information or knowledge.
Knowledge is going to lead tounderstanding or a lack of
understanding of your world.
If you have a correctunderstanding, rooted in true
(03:16):
knowledge, then decision-makingskills will be on track.
Let's discuss the state of theworld and the effects of our
(04:10):
programming to date.
I think it's self-evident tosee we are not as highly evolved
as we think we are and that weare pretty low on the
evolutionary spectrum as acivilization.
I would go so far as to say wewere living not just under a
great veil of deception, anillusion perpetrated by others
and by ourselves, but under amild psychosis on a mass scale,
as a result of the powerstructures that provide us the
(04:30):
lens through which to view theworld and due to our lack of
knowledge about who we truly are.
We have, however, not evolvedconsciously enough to see the
true nature of ourselves andpermit this nature to be the
governing compass for ourconsciousness, for our
(04:53):
understanding of the worldaround us.
Let's look into what masspsychosis, from a clinical and
sociological standpoint, lookslike.
It's effectively an epidemic ofmadness, and it occurs when a
large portion of a society losestouch with reality and descends
into a delusional understandingof themselves and the world
around them.
A well-known example of this isthe American witch hunts of the
(05:16):
17th century.
During these witch hunts,thousands of women were killed,
not for any crimes theycommitted, but because they
became scapegoats of societygone mad.
Well-known psychologist CarlJung studied this phenomenon and
wrote that individuals who makeup the infected society become
morally and spiritually inferior.
They sink unconsciously to aninferior intellectual level.
(05:37):
They become more unreasonable,irresponsible, emotional,
erratic and unreliable.
What makes matters worse isthat those suffering from a mass
psychosis are unaware of what'sThank you for watching is a
(06:04):
flood of negative emotions, suchas fear or anxiety, which
drives an individual into astate of panic, when, in a state
of panic, an individual willnaturally seek relief as it is
too mentally and physicallydraining to exist consciously in
this hyper-emotional state.
But as illusions take manyforms and as madness can
manifest in countless ways, thespecific manner in which a mass
(06:26):
psychosis unfolds will differbased on the historical and
cultural context of that society.
The general method by whichthose who yield power can
accomplish this is calledmenticide, which the etymology
of the word is a killing of themind.
As doctor and psychoanalystJuste Mierleu further explains,
(06:46):
menticide is an old crimeagainst the human mind and
spirit, but systemized anew.
It is an organized system ofpsychological intervention and
judicial perversion throughwhich a ruling class can imprint
their opportunistic thoughtsupon the minds of those it plans
to use.
Priming a population for thecrime of menticide begins with
(07:07):
the sowing of fear, so as toplace a population into the
state of panic that primes thesowing of fear, so as to place a
population into the state ofpanic that primes them for
descent into the delusionarybeliefs of a psychosis.
A particularly effectivetechnique to accomplish this end
is to use waves of terror like,for example, threats of
terrorism or fires or wars.
(07:32):
Under this technique, thesowing of fear is staggered with
periods of calm, but each ofthese periods of calm is
followed by the manufacturing ofan event even more intense, and
on and on.
The process goes, or, as Mirluwrites, each wave of terrorizing
creates its effects more easilyafter a breathing spell than
the one that preceded it,because people are more
(07:53):
disturbed by their previousexperience.
Morality becomes lower andlower, and the psychological
effects of each new propagandacampaign becomes stronger.
It reaches a public alreadysoftened up, while fear primes
the population for menticide.
The use of propaganda to spreadmisinformation and to promote
confusion with respect to thesource of the threats and the
nature of the crisis helps breakdown the minds of the masses.
(08:15):
Government officials and theirlackeys in the media can use
contradictory reports,nonsensical information, even
blatant lies, as the more theyconfuse, the less capable will a
population be to cope with thecrisis and diminish their fear
in a rational, adaptive manner.
Confusion, in other words,heightens the susceptibility of
(08:38):
a descent into these illusions.
Logic can be met with logic,while illogic cannot.
It confuses those who thinkstraight.
The big lie and monotonouslyrepeated nonsense have more of
an emotional appeal than logicand reason.
Never before in history havesuch effective means existed to
manipulate a society into thispsychosis.
We have smartphones, socialmedia, television, the internet,
(09:02):
all in conjunction with botsthat spread propaganda and
algorithms that quickly censorthe flow of unwanted information
and allow for those in power toassault minds of the masses.
And as this bombardmentcontinues, society is left with
no rest, no meditation, noreflection, no conversation, no
(09:23):
critical thinking.
The senses are continuallyoverloaded and misinformation
and narratives are perpetrated.
The never-ending stream ofpropaganda turns minds of once
capable, rational thinkers intoirrational individuals, chaos
swirling around their minds andwithin them.
But people crave a return to amore ordered world.
(09:44):
The ruling class can now takethe decisive step.
They can offer a way out, areturn to the world order that
they remember.
But this comes at a price.
They must give up their freedomand cede control of certain
aspects of their life to theruling elite, like, for example,
legislation that's passed whereyou lose freedom, or you grant
the government invasive freedom,like the I don't know Patriot
(10:08):
Act, for example.
By the way, these laws, theydon't get repealed, they're put
in place and they're never ceded, whether gradually or suddenly.
Reason and common human decencyare no longer possible in such
a system.
It's only a pervasiveatmosphere of terror, a
projection of the enemy that'simagined in our minds.
They're always in the mist.
Thus society turns on itself,urged on by the ruling
(10:30):
authorities.
We have this boogeyman insociety, the terrorists that are
everywhere.
We have to fight these warsbecause of the terrorists who
hate us for our freedoms.
And if a society has beeninduced into the early stages of
this mass psychosis, can theeffects be reversed?
While no one can ever be sureof the prognosis of collective
(10:50):
madness, there are steps thatcan be taken to help effectuate
a cure.
This task, however,necessitates many different
approaches from many people, forjust as a menticidal attack is
multi-pronged, so too must bethe counterattack.
According to Carl Jung, forthose of us who wish to help
return sanity to an insane world, the first step is to bring
(11:11):
order to our own individualminds and to live in a way that
provides inspiration for othersto follow.
One input that has definitelybeen at the forefront of our
delusional reality is the liethat there is a scarcity or
simply a lack of resources, thatthe prices we pay for things
are justified and based on somereal supply-demand model.
Truth be told, there has neverbeen a scarcity of resources.
(11:33):
We fix diamond prices.
We fix precious metal prices.
We fix oil prices.
What do you think OPEC is?
They're a cabal thatmanipulates the prices of oil,
which is abundant all over theearth.
This is to enrich themselvesand to screw the consumers over.
Go check this out for yourself.
This happens in broad daylight.
Another example of a pervasivemisunderstanding of who we are
(11:56):
and how our society is best runis easily seen with the flawed
but mass accepted darwiniannotion of the survival of the
fittest as being the best way toorder the world.
It's actually comical and quitesick to think that this is what
Darwin proposed, not justbecause it has been proven to be
biologically false withmodern-day empirical data, but
also because Darwin hailed froman elitist class of society.
(12:16):
He was playing the game ofsurvival of the fittest, if you
will, with a fixed deck.
His theory works great forthose who are born with a silver
spoon or on third base, etc.
But for everyone else it'sgrossly unfair.
It's like playing a game ofbasketball one-on-one and
forcing your opponent to tie ahand behind his or her back and
saying that the outcome isdetermined by survival of the
fittest.
It's simply a flawed model inunderstanding it.
(12:37):
We accept it as gospel.
In fact, the Darwinian notionthat people are naturally driven
towards chasing individualgains at the expense of others
and that using that egotisticalmotivation as the most
straightforward and fastest wayto success in evolution is
flawed.
Darwin admitted that in histheories about evolution and
natural selection he looked atthe doctrine of Malthus, an
(12:58):
influential economic thinker ofthe time.
Malthus said that populationgrowth caused a struggle for
survival in the lower economicclasses because resources did
not keep up.
Darwin used this doctrine toexplain what he had seen on his
travels researching animalsaround the globe and decided it
applied with manifold force tothe whole animal and vegetable
kingdom.
In other words, his reasoningstarted with the belief in
(13:21):
pre-Victorian societal values,which he then applied to what he
observed in nature, not theother way around.
The important self-servingdistinction here is where
Malthus believed in divineintervention to keep populations
stable, darwin believed innature.
We need to carefully look atmodern evolutionary biology to
realize we have to relentlesslypursue human collaboration to
(13:42):
save our planet and ourselves.
In the last 50 plus years, themajority of biologists have
challenged the notion ofcompetition for survival as the
main driver behind evolutionarysuccess.
They, en masse instead point toa myriad of examples of
intricate collaborative systemswithin and between species that
help them evolve and thrive.
It's becoming abundantly clearthat the survival of the fittest
(14:04):
model only works for a few andnot for a long period of time.
Only works for a few and notfor a long period of time.
And of course, there is theother, not-so-small problem of
what we are doing to our mentalhealth and well-being by
creating constant competition inour daily lives and the
workplace.
It makes us all more stressed,since, even if we are good at
winning, we are also keenlyaware that it may not last.
It makes us more isolated, lesstrusting, less giving and more
(14:27):
anxious.
Our mere existence is underconstant threat.
Furthermore, although we hearthis saying all the time, life
is a game.
Life is not a game, and thepresent day, stakes are very
high.
It's people's lives that are onthe line.
Working together starts by usfirst accepting the fact that we
(14:48):
are all a collectiveconsciousness, living our lives
distinctly in this reality.
The more we seek to divide andforce competition, the more our
values become eroded.
The more we live under fear andstress and anxiety, the more we
stifle ourselves and ourevolution of consciousness.
We have to learn to collaborate, not compete, not just for the
(15:09):
macro-well-being of ourcivilization's trajectory, but
for ourselves as individuals,mentally and spiritually.
To be clear, this does noterode the fundamental nature of
of my belief in capitalism andin capitalism's ability to push
this great nation on a pathforward to greater progress and
productivity.
But capitalism in its currentstate is a perversion.
(15:58):
Let's look now at how media hasdirectly contributed to our
programming and resultingpsychosis.
Screens are engineered tooccupy the mind and consume
attention, leaving little roomfor deep self-reflection,
meditation or personal growth.
It is endless entertainment,social media scrolling and video
(16:18):
games to create adopamine-driven addiction,
keeping people in a cycle ofshort-term pleasure rather than
long-term awareness.
There's also the illusion ofknowledge.
Hollywood and mainstream mediafeed people curated, distorted
information, making them believethey are informed, while
actually keeping them ignorantof deeper truths.
Documentaries, news andentertainment educate people
(16:41):
with controlled narratives,preventing them from questioning
fundamental truths abouthistory, reality and human
potential.
Remarkably real spiritualteachings are distorted or
hidden in fantasy and sciencefiction, making them seem
unattainable or purely fictional.
Instead of discussing the powerof human consciousness, movies
glorify superheroes andsupernatural beings, subtly
(17:04):
programming people to believethat only special or chosen
people can access hiddenabilities and that these hidden
abilities are a function ofimpossible physical traits or
abilities.
Nothing routed in the true,magical abilities of human
beings.
We have normalized a society tobecoming constantly distracted.
We have normalized a society tobecoming constantly distracted.
(17:25):
We directly promote materialismover everything else, over
spirituality, over understanding, over knowledge.
Hollywood and advertising pushmaterial success, fame and
external validation as thehighest goals in life, the apex.
They reinforce the belief thathappiness and fulfillment come
from money, beauty and status,rather than inner peace, wisdom,
(17:47):
enlightenment.
Movies and TV often portrayspiritual seekers as crazy, lost
or dangerous, discouragingpeople from pursuing deeper
knowledge.
There's abject mind controlthrough blue light and
frequencies.
Screens emit blue light whichdisrupt natural sleep cycles and
affect the brain's ability tofunction at an optimal level,
(18:08):
reducing critical thinking andinternal awareness.
Certain frequencies emittedthrough television and digital
media are suspected to alterbrainwave states, keeping people
in a more suggestible docilecondition.
Let's face it, it hypnotizes us.
The combination of Hollywood,mass media and modern technology
has created the most effectivedistraction system in history,
(18:31):
one that keeps people fromawakening to their true power.
But once you see the illusionfor what it is, you can choose a
different path.
You can choose to cure yourselffrom this psychosis.
Let's look at some ways we canbetter program ourselves, using
a proper lens for viewing theworld around us and
understanding ourselvesinternally.
We first need to accept the factthat we are not material beings
(18:52):
and that this existence is anillusion.
My last episode I broke downfor you that this has been known
for millennia, but that we nowhave scientific proof of this
through quantum physics.
We, however, have not adjustedour lives and our consciousness
to incorporate these facts,these proven scientific facts.
We still view ourselves asthese material beings.
(19:13):
We only treat our physical andmental illness as if we are
material beings.
We live our lives focusedmyopically on our physical
bodies.
We worship the external worldand structure our lives around
consumption and materialism.
If we are these spiritual,vibratory beings, then why do we
not live our lives as though weare?
This is our time to evolveconsciously, and we do that with
(19:35):
knowledge, especially knowledgeof how to improve our lives
under this new paradigm ofunderstanding ourselves and the
world around us.
As a result, it's all about theinput, still our programming.
We are not anchored to theprogramming we receive as
children and that which wereceive as adults.
We are not imprisoned by theway we have lived.
Consciously.
We can change, and if you do,your world will change
(19:58):
drastically for the better.
Why?
Well, because you're aligningwith your natural state, a state
that is aligned with theuniverse.
So you might ask who do I go tosee to find the secret formula
to improve and experience abetter life?
Who's the yogi, the doctor, thespecialist, the preacher?
Here's the best part you needlook no further than yourself.
I'm going to explain to you whyand provide you with a simple
(20:19):
way to begin to take backcontrol of your mind, to
reformat, to reprogram yourunderstanding of your world.
Begin to take back control ofyour mind, to reformat, to
reprogram your understanding ofyour world.
We kickstart this process usingthe same methods of repetition
that are used against us, tocontrol us, to set us free.
Repetition is one of the mostpowerful tools in shaping
perception, belief and,ultimately, our reality.
From affirmations andadvertising to music and media,
(20:40):
repeated exposure to specificwords, phrases and ideas
ingrains them in oursubconscious mind, whether used,
intentionally or passivelyabsorbed.
Repetition rewires our neuralpathways, reinforcing thought
patterns that influence emotions, behaviors and even identity.
Understanding the mechanismsbehind repetition allows us to
harness its power deliberately,rather than becoming passive
(21:02):
recipients of externalprogramming.
Repetition strengthens neuralconnections through a process
known as neuroplasticity thebrain's ability to reorganize
itself by forming newconnections.
The more frequently a thoughtor behavior is reinforced, the
stronger the neural pathwaybecomes, making it easier for
the brain to default to thatpattern.
This is why repeatedaffirmations can shift
(21:22):
self-perception and why repeatednegative thoughts can shift
self-perception and why repeatednegative thoughts can become
self-fulfilling prophecies.
From a biological standpoint,the brain operates on efficiency
.
Repetition signals importance,prompting the brain to automate
certain thoughts and behaviors.
This is why habits, bothpositive and negative, become
deeply ingrained over time.
Neuroscientists also recognizethat repetition engages the
(21:45):
dopamine-producing systems,meaning that repeated
experiences, especiallypleasurable ones, create reward
loops that reinforce behavior.
Advertisers use repetition tocreate familiarity and trust.
The more a brand is seen ortheir slogan is heard, the more
legitimate and desirable itbecomes, the more comfortable we
become with that brand as aconsumer.
Politicians and influencersleverage repetition to normalize
(22:08):
certain ideologies, making themappear widely acceptable and
unquestionable.
What if I told you this?
Repetition and things you hear,words you say and thoughts you
think are literally shaping yourlife, your reality, from why we
take the actions we take to whycertain people and experiences
enter or leave our lives.
The power of words is wellunderstood by advertisers,
(22:29):
marketers, psychologists.
Why not use this power to shapeyour own life with intention?
Music is a particularly powerfulvessel for words because it
embeds into our subconscious.
When we sing lyrics, whetheruplifting or destructive, we are
in a sense affirming andinviting those themes into our
lives.
Repeated exposure to certainmessages through music can shape
(22:49):
our emotions, thoughts and evenbehaviors, reinforcing the idea
that we must be mindful of whatwe listen to and speak aloud.
Does this make you rethink themusic you are listening to.
Our subconscious mind does notdifferentiate between who is
speaking.
It simply hears words andabsorbs them.
This means that every lyric wesing, every phrase we repeat and
every affirmation weinternalize becomes part of our
(23:11):
self-perception.
When we sing along to songs, weare essentially speaking to
ourselves, reinforcing thosemessages, whether we realize it
or not.
This is why our surroundingsand environment matter.
The words, the music, the mediawe expose ourselves to.
They shape our thoughts, ouremotions and our reality.
If our subconscious mind absorbsthings, without question, it is
(23:33):
vital to be intentional aboutwhat we allow into our mental
space.
So, if you're letting otherpeople influence you, your
actions and decisions, wouldn'tyou rather have control over it
and do it your own way?
I know you would.
Wouldn't you rather havecontrol over it and do it your
own way?
I know you would.
And this, ladies and gentlemen,is why affirmations are
actually powerful.
You are repeating words,hearing them, speaking them,
thinking them over and overagain and, like we mentioned
(23:54):
earlier, repetition fostersbelief.
If you start saying nice,empowering things to yourself
daily, you start to believe them.
Belief here is key when itcomes to manifestation, when it
comes to true happiness,fulfillment or living the life
you want to, the one you deserveto live.
Belief and faith are thefoundation of transformation,
because they shape ourperception, actions and reality
(24:17):
itself.
Having faith is more than justhoping something will happen.
It is the certainty that italready exists in some form.
When you believe something withunwavering conviction, your
mind no longer sees it as apossibility.
It sees it as inevitable.
This shift changes the way youthink, speak and act, aligning
you with the very outcomes youdesire.
The frequency you vibrateinternally will mirror
(24:40):
externally.
You are no longer wanting moreand more constantly wanting, but
rather you believe it isalready yours.
And that's when you start toattract it.
You don't chase it, you attractit.
This doesn't just apply to theguy you want to date or the girl
you want to sleep with.
It applies to every aspect oflife relationships, money,
success, abundance, luck, etc.
I promise it's much easier tolive your life this way.
(25:03):
By the way, faith and fear bothrequire you to believe something
you don't physically see.
Keep in mind, fear is a low,low frequency.
It's manifesting a hell-likeearth and reality, while faith
in yourself and the universe ismanifesting a heaven-like earth
and reality.
Which one would you choose Ifyou start seeing yourself as the
true, magical spiritual beingyou are, then the world is your
(25:24):
oyster, not your prison.
As you continue listening to theManhattan Prophet podcast, I'm
going to unveil the true natureof the world that exists right
under your nose.
I'm going to analyze with you,out in the open, the systems at
play here and the ways we cangrow together and evolve.
I'm going to provide you withreal-world conscious ways to
touch higher levels ofconsciousness and understand
through truth and knowledge.
(25:45):
I want to make this clear I donot own these truths.
I do not own this knowledge.
I'm simply extracting it anddistilling it for you in an
accessible form.
I ask not that you follow meblindly, but rather that you
follow me with your open mindand heart, a following of truth
and safety and freedom throughthis truth.
I'm proud of you for takingthis next step and trusting me
as your guide.

Hello everyone and welcome to the seventh episode
of the Manhattan Prophet podcast.
I am the Manhattan Prophet.
Thank you all who have joinedwith your support in this battle
for truth and empowerment, whoare standing up for freedom both
internally and in the worldaround us.
As a reminder, so that nothingis lost in translation, I'm here
to ensure that all knowledge Igive you finds meaning in a
(00:25):
practical place in your everydaylives.
It's only through properlydigesting knowledge, in this
case of ourselves and the worldaround us, that we see things
clearly enough to break oldpatterns of behavior and begin a
new path forward to aheightened state of
consciousness.
Today we are going to discussthe idea of programming
Programming our minds and comingto terms with the fact that we
(00:46):
receive information all the timethat impacts our understanding
of everything.
A human being is programmable.
It's, in our nature, verysimilar to a computer.
In fact, we are developing muchof the neural networking of
artificial intelligence aroundthe mapping of our own neural
networks.
Our inputs from the worldaround us determine what we will
output.
This output is the movie youare directing and which you
(01:07):
identify as yourself.
These outputs collectively willcreate the human condition and
the aggregate.
So, like a computer.
If a human being has a faultyoperating system, which is
basically what controls whathappens on the computer, how
programs get launched, howmemory is used, then you get a
faulty human being, a humanbeing who doesn't know how best
(01:27):
to govern him or herself andlive an optimal life internally
and in the world around them.
A computer's operating system'sviability, for example, is
determined by the formatting ofthe hard drive.
This can be compared to achild's formative years, the
first five or six years of theirlife.
Notice the use of the wordformative.
It's like the format years,like a format on a hard drive.
(01:52):
At this time in a child's life,the parents and what they see
in the immediate environmentdetermine the programming they
receive.
Let's say the developers or theparents didn't really care
about programming them correctly.
Do you think that the computeror the child is going to operate
properly and have theconstitution and consciousness
that is optimal?
What happens when parents don'tput the programming as a
priority or simply don't havethe time to do it and leave it
(02:13):
up to the media sources andsocial media to provide that
child with their understandingof the world around them.
Well, what happens is it willcontribute to a deteriorating
condition on a mass scale.
Like a computer, the behavior ofa human being largely depends
upon its programming, and itsprogramming is the quality of
the information that is beinginputted into it.
This then determines thequality of the output, the
(02:34):
output in this case being thegeneral moral values, way of
life and collectiveconsciousness of the society at
large.
So if crap goes in, guess whatCrap comes out?
We really are complex andbeautifully balanced beings if
we choose to respect thatbalance and not use ourselves or
(02:55):
allow ourselves to be used theway we have been.
So what are the things we putinto human beings and by human
beings I mean children andadults alike that are crucial?
Well, what I consider to beextremely important is correct
information or knowledge.
Knowledge is going to lead tounderstanding or a lack of
understanding of your world.
If you have a correctunderstanding, rooted in true
(03:16):
knowledge, then decision-makingskills will be on track.
Let's discuss the state of theworld and the effects of our
(04:10):
programming to date.
I think it's self-evident tosee we are not as highly evolved
as we think we are and that weare pretty low on the
evolutionary spectrum as acivilization.
I would go so far as to say wewere living not just under a
great veil of deception, anillusion perpetrated by others
and by ourselves, but under amild psychosis on a mass scale,
as a result of the powerstructures that provide us the
(04:30):
lens through which to view theworld and due to our lack of
knowledge about who we truly are.
We have, however, not evolvedconsciously enough to see the
true nature of ourselves andpermit this nature to be the
governing compass for ourconsciousness, for our
(04:53):
understanding of the worldaround us.
Let's look into what masspsychosis, from a clinical and
sociological standpoint, lookslike.
It's effectively an epidemic ofmadness, and it occurs when a
large portion of a society losestouch with reality and descends
into a delusional understandingof themselves and the world
around them.
A well-known example of this isthe American witch hunts of the
(05:16):
17th century.
During these witch hunts,thousands of women were killed,
not for any crimes theycommitted, but because they
became scapegoats of societygone mad.
Well-known psychologist CarlJung studied this phenomenon and
wrote that individuals who makeup the infected society become
morally and spiritually inferior.
They sink unconsciously to aninferior intellectual level.
(05:37):
They become more unreasonable,irresponsible, emotional,
erratic and unreliable.
What makes matters worse isthat those suffering from a mass
psychosis are unaware of what'sThank you for watching is a
(06:04):
flood of negative emotions, suchas fear or anxiety, which
drives an individual into astate of panic, when, in a state
of panic, an individual willnaturally seek relief as it is
too mentally and physicallydraining to exist consciously in
this hyper-emotional state.
But as illusions take manyforms and as madness can
manifest in countless ways, thespecific manner in which a mass
(06:26):
psychosis unfolds will differbased on the historical and
cultural context of that society.
The general method by whichthose who yield power can
accomplish this is calledmenticide, which the etymology
of the word is a killing of themind.
As doctor and psychoanalystJuste Mierleu further explains,
(06:46):
menticide is an old crimeagainst the human mind and
spirit, but systemized anew.
It is an organized system ofpsychological intervention and
judicial perversion throughwhich a ruling class can imprint
their opportunistic thoughtsupon the minds of those it plans
to use.
Priming a population for thecrime of menticide begins with
(07:07):
the sowing of fear, so as toplace a population into the
state of panic that primes thesowing of fear, so as to place a
population into the state ofpanic that primes them for
descent into the delusionarybeliefs of a psychosis.
A particularly effectivetechnique to accomplish this end
is to use waves of terror like,for example, threats of
terrorism or fires or wars.
(07:32):
Under this technique, thesowing of fear is staggered with
periods of calm, but each ofthese periods of calm is
followed by the manufacturing ofan event even more intense, and
on and on.
The process goes, or, as Mirluwrites, each wave of terrorizing
creates its effects more easilyafter a breathing spell than
the one that preceded it,because people are more
(07:53):
disturbed by their previousexperience.
Morality becomes lower andlower, and the psychological
effects of each new propagandacampaign becomes stronger.
It reaches a public alreadysoftened up, while fear primes
the population for menticide.
The use of propaganda to spreadmisinformation and to promote
confusion with respect to thesource of the threats and the
nature of the crisis helps breakdown the minds of the masses.
(08:15):
Government officials and theirlackeys in the media can use
contradictory reports,nonsensical information, even
blatant lies, as the more theyconfuse, the less capable will a
population be to cope with thecrisis and diminish their fear
in a rational, adaptive manner.
Confusion, in other words,heightens the susceptibility of
(08:38):
a descent into these illusions.
Logic can be met with logic,while illogic cannot.
It confuses those who thinkstraight.
The big lie and monotonouslyrepeated nonsense have more of
an emotional appeal than logicand reason.
Never before in history havesuch effective means existed to
manipulate a society into thispsychosis.
We have smartphones, socialmedia, television, the internet,
(09:02):
all in conjunction with botsthat spread propaganda and
algorithms that quickly censorthe flow of unwanted information
and allow for those in power toassault minds of the masses.
And as this bombardmentcontinues, society is left with
no rest, no meditation, noreflection, no conversation, no
(09:23):
critical thinking.
The senses are continuallyoverloaded and misinformation
and narratives are perpetrated.
The never-ending stream ofpropaganda turns minds of once
capable, rational thinkers intoirrational individuals, chaos
swirling around their minds andwithin them.
But people crave a return to amore ordered world.
(09:44):
The ruling class can now takethe decisive step.
They can offer a way out, areturn to the world order that
they remember.
But this comes at a price.
They must give up their freedomand cede control of certain
aspects of their life to theruling elite, like, for example,
legislation that's passed whereyou lose freedom, or you grant
the government invasive freedom,like the I don't know Patriot
(10:08):
Act, for example.
By the way, these laws, theydon't get repealed, they're put
in place and they're never ceded, whether gradually or suddenly.
Reason and common human decencyare no longer possible in such
a system.
It's only a pervasiveatmosphere of terror, a
projection of the enemy that'simagined in our minds.
They're always in the mist.
Thus society turns on itself,urged on by the ruling
(10:30):
authorities.
We have this boogeyman insociety, the terrorists that are
everywhere.
We have to fight these warsbecause of the terrorists who
hate us for our freedoms.
And if a society has beeninduced into the early stages of
this mass psychosis, can theeffects be reversed?
While no one can ever be sureof the prognosis of collective
(10:50):
madness, there are steps thatcan be taken to help effectuate
a cure.
This task, however,necessitates many different
approaches from many people, forjust as a menticidal attack is
multi-pronged, so too must bethe counterattack.
According to Carl Jung, forthose of us who wish to help
return sanity to an insane world, the first step is to bring
(11:11):
order to our own individualminds and to live in a way that
provides inspiration for othersto follow.
One input that has definitelybeen at the forefront of our
delusional reality is the liethat there is a scarcity or
simply a lack of resources, thatthe prices we pay for things
are justified and based on somereal supply-demand model.
Truth be told, there has neverbeen a scarcity of resources.
(11:33):
We fix diamond prices.
We fix precious metal prices.
We fix oil prices.
What do you think OPEC is?
They're a cabal thatmanipulates the prices of oil,
which is abundant all over theearth.
This is to enrich themselvesand to screw the consumers over.
Go check this out for yourself.
This happens in broad daylight.
Another example of a pervasivemisunderstanding of who we are
(11:56):
and how our society is best runis easily seen with the flawed
but mass accepted darwiniannotion of the survival of the
fittest as being the best way toorder the world.
It's actually comical and quitesick to think that this is what
Darwin proposed, not justbecause it has been proven to be
biologically false withmodern-day empirical data, but
also because Darwin hailed froman elitist class of society.
(12:16):
He was playing the game ofsurvival of the fittest, if you
will, with a fixed deck.
His theory works great forthose who are born with a silver
spoon or on third base, etc.
But for everyone else it'sgrossly unfair.
It's like playing a game ofbasketball one-on-one and
forcing your opponent to tie ahand behind his or her back and
saying that the outcome isdetermined by survival of the
fittest.
It's simply a flawed model inunderstanding it.
(12:37):
We accept it as gospel.
In fact, the Darwinian notionthat people are naturally driven
towards chasing individualgains at the expense of others
and that using that egotisticalmotivation as the most
straightforward and fastest wayto success in evolution is
flawed.
Darwin admitted that in histheories about evolution and
natural selection he looked atthe doctrine of Malthus, an
(12:58):
influential economic thinker ofthe time.
Malthus said that populationgrowth caused a struggle for
survival in the lower economicclasses because resources did
not keep up.
Darwin used this doctrine toexplain what he had seen on his
travels researching animalsaround the globe and decided it
applied with manifold force tothe whole animal and vegetable
kingdom.
In other words, his reasoningstarted with the belief in
(13:21):
pre-Victorian societal values,which he then applied to what he
observed in nature, not theother way around.
The important self-servingdistinction here is where
Malthus believed in divineintervention to keep populations
stable, darwin believed innature.
We need to carefully look atmodern evolutionary biology to
realize we have to relentlesslypursue human collaboration to
(13:42):
save our planet and ourselves.
In the last 50 plus years, themajority of biologists have
challenged the notion ofcompetition for survival as the
main driver behind evolutionarysuccess.
They, en masse instead point toa myriad of examples of
intricate collaborative systemswithin and between species that
help them evolve and thrive.
It's becoming abundantly clearthat the survival of the fittest
(14:04):
model only works for a few andnot for a long period of time.
Only works for a few and notfor a long period of time.
And of course, there is theother, not-so-small problem of
what we are doing to our mentalhealth and well-being by
creating constant competition inour daily lives and the
workplace.
It makes us all more stressed,since, even if we are good at
winning, we are also keenlyaware that it may not last.
It makes us more isolated, lesstrusting, less giving and more
(14:27):
anxious.
Our mere existence is underconstant threat.
Furthermore, although we hearthis saying all the time, life
is a game.
Life is not a game, and thepresent day, stakes are very
high.
It's people's lives that are onthe line.
Working together starts by usfirst accepting the fact that we
(14:48):
are all a collectiveconsciousness, living our lives
distinctly in this reality.
The more we seek to divide andforce competition, the more our
values become eroded.
The more we live under fear andstress and anxiety, the more we
stifle ourselves and ourevolution of consciousness.
We have to learn to collaborate, not compete, not just for the
(15:09):
macro-well-being of ourcivilization's trajectory, but
for ourselves as individuals,mentally and spiritually.
To be clear, this does noterode the fundamental nature of
of my belief in capitalism andin capitalism's ability to push
this great nation on a pathforward to greater progress and
productivity.
But capitalism in its currentstate is a perversion.
(15:58):
Let's look now at how media hasdirectly contributed to our
programming and resultingpsychosis.
Screens are engineered tooccupy the mind and consume
attention, leaving little roomfor deep self-reflection,
meditation or personal growth.
It is endless entertainment,social media scrolling and video
(16:18):
games to create adopamine-driven addiction,
keeping people in a cycle ofshort-term pleasure rather than
long-term awareness.
There's also the illusion ofknowledge.
Hollywood and mainstream mediafeed people curated, distorted
information, making them believethey are informed, while
actually keeping them ignorantof deeper truths.
Documentaries, news andentertainment educate people
(16:41):
with controlled narratives,preventing them from questioning
fundamental truths abouthistory, reality and human
potential.
Remarkably real spiritualteachings are distorted or
hidden in fantasy and sciencefiction, making them seem
unattainable or purely fictional.
Instead of discussing the powerof human consciousness, movies
glorify superheroes andsupernatural beings, subtly
(17:04):
programming people to believethat only special or chosen
people can access hiddenabilities and that these hidden
abilities are a function ofimpossible physical traits or
abilities.
Nothing routed in the true,magical abilities of human
beings.
We have normalized a society tobecoming constantly distracted.
We have normalized a society tobecoming constantly distracted.
(17:25):
We directly promote materialismover everything else, over
spirituality, over understanding, over knowledge.
Hollywood and advertising pushmaterial success, fame and
external validation as thehighest goals in life, the apex.
They reinforce the belief thathappiness and fulfillment come
from money, beauty and status,rather than inner peace, wisdom,
(17:47):
enlightenment.
Movies and TV often portrayspiritual seekers as crazy, lost
or dangerous, discouragingpeople from pursuing deeper
knowledge.
There's abject mind controlthrough blue light and
frequencies.
Screens emit blue light whichdisrupt natural sleep cycles and
affect the brain's ability tofunction at an optimal level,
(18:08):
reducing critical thinking andinternal awareness.
Certain frequencies emittedthrough television and digital
media are suspected to alterbrainwave states, keeping people
in a more suggestible docilecondition.
Let's face it, it hypnotizes us.
The combination of Hollywood,mass media and modern technology
has created the most effectivedistraction system in history,
(18:31):
one that keeps people fromawakening to their true power.
But once you see the illusionfor what it is, you can choose a
different path.
You can choose to cure yourselffrom this psychosis.
Let's look at some ways we canbetter program ourselves, using
a proper lens for viewing theworld around us and
understanding ourselvesinternally.
We first need to accept the factthat we are not material beings
(18:52):
and that this existence is anillusion.
My last episode I broke downfor you that this has been known
for millennia, but that we nowhave scientific proof of this
through quantum physics.
We, however, have not adjustedour lives and our consciousness
to incorporate these facts,these proven scientific facts.
We still view ourselves asthese material beings.
(19:13):
We only treat our physical andmental illness as if we are
material beings.
We live our lives focusedmyopically on our physical
bodies.
We worship the external worldand structure our lives around
consumption and materialism.
If we are these spiritual,vibratory beings, then why do we
not live our lives as though weare?
This is our time to evolveconsciously, and we do that with
(19:35):
knowledge, especially knowledgeof how to improve our lives
under this new paradigm ofunderstanding ourselves and the
world around us.
As a result, it's all about theinput, still our programming.
We are not anchored to theprogramming we receive as
children and that which wereceive as adults.
We are not imprisoned by theway we have lived.
Consciously.
We can change, and if you do,your world will change
(19:58):
drastically for the better.
Why?
Well, because you're aligningwith your natural state, a state
that is aligned with theuniverse.
So you might ask who do I go tosee to find the secret formula
to improve and experience abetter life?
Who's the yogi, the doctor, thespecialist, the preacher?
Here's the best part you needlook no further than yourself.
I'm going to explain to you whyand provide you with a simple
(20:19):
way to begin to take backcontrol of your mind, to
reformat, to reprogram yourunderstanding of your world.
Begin to take back control ofyour mind, to reformat, to
reprogram your understanding ofyour world.
We kickstart this process usingthe same methods of repetition
that are used against us, tocontrol us, to set us free.
Repetition is one of the mostpowerful tools in shaping
perception, belief and,ultimately, our reality.
From affirmations andadvertising to music and media,
(20:40):
repeated exposure to specificwords, phrases and ideas
ingrains them in oursubconscious mind, whether used,
intentionally or passivelyabsorbed.
Repetition rewires our neuralpathways, reinforcing thought
patterns that influence emotions, behaviors and even identity.
Understanding the mechanismsbehind repetition allows us to
harness its power deliberately,rather than becoming passive
(21:02):
recipients of externalprogramming.
Repetition strengthens neuralconnections through a process
known as neuroplasticity thebrain's ability to reorganize
itself by forming newconnections.
The more frequently a thoughtor behavior is reinforced, the
stronger the neural pathwaybecomes, making it easier for
the brain to default to thatpattern.
This is why repeatedaffirmations can shift
(21:22):
self-perception and why repeatednegative thoughts can shift
self-perception and why repeatednegative thoughts can become
self-fulfilling prophecies.
From a biological standpoint,the brain operates on efficiency
.
Repetition signals importance,prompting the brain to automate
certain thoughts and behaviors.
This is why habits, bothpositive and negative, become
deeply ingrained over time.
Neuroscientists also recognizethat repetition engages the
(21:45):
dopamine-producing systems,meaning that repeated
experiences, especiallypleasurable ones, create reward
loops that reinforce behavior.
Advertisers use repetition tocreate familiarity and trust.
The more a brand is seen ortheir slogan is heard, the more
legitimate and desirable itbecomes, the more comfortable we
become with that brand as aconsumer.
Politicians and influencersleverage repetition to normalize
(22:08):
certain ideologies, making themappear widely acceptable and
unquestionable.
What if I told you this?
Repetition and things you hear,words you say and thoughts you
think are literally shaping yourlife, your reality, from why we
take the actions we take to whycertain people and experiences
enter or leave our lives.
The power of words is wellunderstood by advertisers,
(22:29):
marketers, psychologists.
Why not use this power to shapeyour own life with intention?
Music is a particularly powerfulvessel for words because it
embeds into our subconscious.
When we sing lyrics, whetheruplifting or destructive, we are
in a sense affirming andinviting those themes into our
lives.
Repeated exposure to certainmessages through music can shape
(22:49):
our emotions, thoughts and evenbehaviors, reinforcing the idea
that we must be mindful of whatwe listen to and speak aloud.
Does this make you rethink themusic you are listening to.
Our subconscious mind does notdifferentiate between who is
speaking.
It simply hears words andabsorbs them.
This means that every lyric wesing, every phrase we repeat and
every affirmation weinternalize becomes part of our
(23:11):
self-perception.
When we sing along to songs, weare essentially speaking to
ourselves, reinforcing thosemessages, whether we realize it
or not.
This is why our surroundingsand environment matter.
The words, the music, the mediawe expose ourselves to.
They shape our thoughts, ouremotions and our reality.
If our subconscious mind absorbsthings, without question, it is
(23:33):
vital to be intentional aboutwhat we allow into our mental
space.
So, if you're letting otherpeople influence you, your
actions and decisions, wouldn'tyou rather have control over it
and do it your own way?
I know you would.
Wouldn't you rather havecontrol over it and do it your
own way?
I know you would.
And this, ladies and gentlemen,is why affirmations are
actually powerful.
You are repeating words,hearing them, speaking them,
thinking them over and overagain and, like we mentioned
(23:54):
earlier, repetition fostersbelief.
If you start saying nice,empowering things to yourself
daily, you start to believe them.
Belief here is key when itcomes to manifestation, when it
comes to true happiness,fulfillment or living the life
you want to, the one you deserveto live.
Belief and faith are thefoundation of transformation,
because they shape ourperception, actions and reality
(24:17):
itself.
Having faith is more than justhoping something will happen.
It is the certainty that italready exists in some form.
When you believe something withunwavering conviction, your
mind no longer sees it as apossibility.
It sees it as inevitable.
This shift changes the way youthink, speak and act, aligning
you with the very outcomes youdesire.
The frequency you vibrateinternally will mirror
(24:40):
externally.
You are no longer wanting moreand more constantly wanting, but
rather you believe it isalready yours.
And that's when you start toattract it.
You don't chase it, you attractit.
This doesn't just apply to theguy you want to date or the girl
you want to sleep with.
It applies to every aspect oflife relationships, money,
success, abundance, luck, etc.
I promise it's much easier tolive your life this way.
(25:03):
By the way, faith and fear bothrequire you to believe something
you don't physically see.
Keep in mind, fear is a low,low frequency.
It's manifesting a hell-likeearth and reality, while faith
in yourself and the universe ismanifesting a heaven-like earth
and reality.
Which one would you choose Ifyou start seeing yourself as the
true, magical spiritual beingyou are, then the world is your
(25:24):
oyster, not your prison.
As you continue listening to theManhattan Prophet podcast, I'm
going to unveil the true natureof the world that exists right
under your nose.
I'm going to analyze with you,out in the open, the systems at
play here and the ways we cangrow together and evolve.
I'm going to provide you withreal-world conscious ways to
touch higher levels ofconsciousness and understand
through truth and knowledge.
(25:45):
I want to make this clear I donot own these truths.
I do not own this knowledge.
I'm simply extracting it anddistilling it for you in an
accessible form.
I ask not that you follow meblindly, but rather that you
follow me with your open mindand heart, a following of truth
and safety and freedom throughthis truth.
I'm proud of you for takingthis next step and trusting me
as your guide.
