We've seen that there is a debilitating self that attempts to degrade and destroy individuals through their egomania, ignorance, and corruption. Similarly, there exists a collective negative energy field (CNEF) whose forces incapacitate and destroy humans because individuals allow these forces to use their energy and allow themselves to be oblivious to its assaults on their minds and bodies.
In this essay, we'll examine this collective negative energy field and how it operates, then explore ways in which we can overcome its deleterious effects through the application of Plato's conception of reality, in partnership with other forces within the collective positive energy field (CPEF).
Human life is, from one perspective, a constant
personal effort to overcome negative influences and join forces with positive agencies, as is so graphically illustrated by such Perennialist classics as the
Bhagavad Gita and Boethius' Emboldenment of Philosophy.
A major purpose in exploring the collective negative energy field is to help people realize that demonic forces in the world today constitute a more inclusive reality than the individual persons or operations that make up the world destruction that we see going on around us. Diabolic forces possess the actuality of a psychic field: a distinct dimension.
The collective negative energy field is not an independently acting force; it is given power by humans allowing it to use their energy and by their acting in collusion with it. Nonetheless, once humans allow their energy to be used by the CNEF, it becomes a collective entity which depraved persons can utilize.
Religious concepts of an evil force--Devil, Beelzebub, Lucifer, Ahriman, Satan--have a distant relationship to humankind's attenuated awareness of the collective negative energy field. Conceptions of evil spirits, demon possession, and zombiism also relate to this phenomenon, including the idea that such negative entities can take control of the body and mind of a debilitated, brainwashed, or possessed person.
In 1896 Gustav Le Bon published The Crowd, which disclosed that there is a separate, independent reality to a collection of people beyond the individual members that make it up. Le Bon revealed that a mob, gang, or mass of individuals assumes a "personality" that can be influenced by persons, relationships, and events. Depending on your perspective, such a collective appears as a rabble or a unified force for improvement.
Large or small, groupings take on specific positive or negative traits, as Wilhelm Reich demonstrated in his 1933 book The Mass Psychology of Fascism. Individuals or
collectives are able to
manipulate and control groups through their understanding of these group mind characteristics.
"'Fascism' is only the organized political expression of the structure of the average man's character, a structure that is confined neither to certain races or nations nor to certain parties, but is general and international. . . 'Fascism' is the basic emotional attitude of the suppressed man of our authoritarian machine civilization and its mechanistic-religious conception of life."
Wilhelm Reich, The Mass Psychology of Fascism
We're here examining a discrete psychic and supersensual phenomenon: a collective negative energy field related to but independent of persons, objects, and events. The collective unconscious or universal mind is similar to the collective negative energy field in that the collective unconscious is inclusive of and associated with but independent of the conscious and subconscious mind of individual persons.
Personal human consciousness--as in the image to the right--is but a small part of the combined conscious-subconscious-collective unconscious whole--the iceberg that extends above the "dimension" of the personal unconscious and the collective unconscious.
Most humans are unaware of how easily they can become influenced or possessed by the destructive forces of the collective negative energy field. For example, a person may develop capability in thinking about and understanding what's happening in the world. As he gains recognition for his abilities, however, he can easily succumb to egomania, taking on airs of self-importance. Within a short time his effect on other people is predominantly negative and he has unconsciously become a part of the negative energy force.
In the illustrations below, 1 we see how individuals are either aware or unaware of their subconscious, are either connected or unconnected with the collective unconscious, and how they are affected by the collective negative energy field.
The ordinary person's consciousness (B, C, and D) is unaware of his subconscious and unconnected to the collective unconscious. A's consciousness is aware of her subconscious and has connection with the collective unconscious.
In regard to A, B, C, and D, the collective negative energy field (shaded area) encompasses some of B's and D's and most of C's mind. A is not affected by the CNEF, but she is aware of it and its debilitating effect on the other three.
So long as we're unaware of the collective negative energy field, its forces can feed on us, like vampires, sucking away our energy and destroying our minds and bodies. This is what's occurring at the present time: the collective negative energy field has been horrendously expanded by a
demonic group whose major aim is to amass wealth and power through the annihilation of materiel and persons through barbaric violence.
In this illustration, person A has most of her being within the collective positive energy field and has been able to extend this field to portions of persons B and D that are free from the collective negative energy field.
The collective positive energy field gains force from its connection with the collective unconscious.
In the illustration above, person C has most of his being in the collective negative energy field, so the collective positive energy field that encompasses portions of persons A, B, and D, is unable to act upon him.
The diagram below illustrates how persons' states of consciousness are influenced by the CNEF and the CPEF. Person A (light blue row) is primarily related to the collective positive energy field. Persons B and D (orange row) are somewhat affected by the collective negative energy field. Person C has allowed himself to become possessed by the CNEF.
Person

If persons B and D work assiduously to overcome their connection with the collective negative energy field and open themselves to the collective positive energy field that person A is extending to them, they'll be able to move from the orange area up to the light blue field.
We're examining the CNEF to become aware of how this destructive psychic dimension affects people in the contemporary world and how its forces (persons, powers, and activities) are wreaking havoc on humankind. Once persons have allowed the collective negative energy field to take possession of them, they become agents for its annihilative machinations. To combat these malevolent forces, we must expose their operations and agents in as clear a light as possible. The negative powers gain much of their force from hiding their real essence and pretending to be creatures of reason and benevolence.
A person becomes a zombie agent of the collective negative energy field by deliberately acceding to the most noxious elements within his psyche (mind and personality). Once having given control over to negative forces, the individual then essentially has no mind of his own and follows the dictates of the leaders of the demonic forces.
You can get some sense of how much you personally have been influenced by the collective negative energy field by examining how you feel about the image of Bush as zombie. If you don't realize that this is the true essence of this creature, then you've allowed your sense of reality to be demolished by the forces of corruption. You may try to evade how much your awareness of truth has been decimated by some such dodge as "Extreme images are not polite or respectful of authority." It's cowardly to be polite to evil and Bush and the cabal he shills for are not legitimate authorities, having seized power through a coup d'etat in 2000 and stolen the elections in 2002 and 2004.
Many people have been conditioned to assume that depicting the current world situation in stark, forthright terms must betray a hateful, unrestrained, deranged mind-set. On the contrary, such blunt, candid depictions can be simply descriptive and involve no hatred or feelings of rancor or revenge, as we see in the lives of such exemplary persons as Socrates, Plato, Jesus, and Boethius, all of whom in their time spoke out forcefully against demonic forces.
We must be as outspoken and straightforward as possible in combating this negative force, because it has convinced most people in the world that it's not as pernicious and destructive as it is--merely a somewhat bumbling, inefficient, sometimes inadvertently inaccurate and improper in its words and deeds.
"The 'Outlook' [early 20th century newspaper] had no doubt that there were genuine evils in the packing-plants; the conditions of the workers ought of course to be improved, BUT--
'To disgust the reader by dragging him through every conceivable horror, physical and moral, to depict with lurid excitement and with offensive minuteness the life in jail and brothel--all this is to overreach the object . . . Even things actually terrible may become distorted when a writer screams them out in a sensational way and in a high pitched key . . . More convincing if it were less hysterical.'"
Upton Sinclair, The Brass Check
Upton Sinclair quotes a capitalist newspaper's efforts to condemn his novel The Jungle, as "hysterical."
To see how the collective negative energy force has destroyed the minds of many Americans, we can take this example. In late September, 2007, American citizens of all stripes were busy condemning Iran's Ahmadinejad as “a petty and cruel dictator,” while the world's most vicious war criminal--George W. Bush--lectured the world on “human rights” at the United Nations.
"George W. Bush delivered his next to the last annual address to the United Nations General Assembly Tuesday. Taking the same podium that he used five years ago to condemn the world body to 'irrelevance' if it failed to rubber stamp his plans for a war of aggression against Iraq, Bush cast his regime in Washington as the world’s greatest champion of human rights and its most generous and selfless benefactor.
"That the assembled UN delegates could sit through and then politely applaud such a hypocritical harangue from a man who is without rival as the world’s greatest war criminal is testimony to the spinelessness and complicity of both the world’s governments and the United Nations itself." 2
The agents and operations of the collective negative energy field have plunged the world into senseless slaughter through war-profiteering hostilities in Afghanistan and Iraq and have rapidly destroyed Constitutional rights in the United States. At the same time, they've so destroyed the minds of most Americans that no viable opposition to this fascist dictatorship is forming.
The agents and operations of the collective negative energy field have so debilitated the minds of Americans that they're ignorant of what is actually happening:
These are some of the major structures in this vast annihilation of American and world people and institutions. The collective negative energy forces perpetrate outrages literally daily, challenging a thinking person's ability to register their perfidy.
At all times as we go about our daily lives, United States citizens need to constantly remind ourselves of the stark reality of our situation:
Americans are suffering under a fascist dictator in a militarist police state.
The fact that we see life go on as if everything were perfectly normal--skewed world news on television, millions wasting their lives on frivolous pursuits, political and financial leaders smiling at us from the covers of their latest "best-selling" books--must not lull us into ignorance or disregard of the fact that our political and economic rulers are trying to murder as many of us as possible.
Note how you react to the word "murder" as if this were too extreme a word to use in polite discourse. What do you think is going on in Iraq other than outright murder of Iraqi civilians and American service personnel? What do you think the economic policies of globalistic unemployment and lack of health insurance eventuate in except murder?
We're engaged in a life-or-death struggle against the collective negative energy forces; this is not some polite academic debate! Anyone who attempts to hide this reality or cloak it in euphemisms is a part of the negative force. Persons who try to dismiss such stark depiction of current reality as paranoid conspiracy theory are agents of the collective negative energy field.
At present, all our telephone
conversations, our regular mail and email communications, and our Internet activity are being monitored by the CIA, because the Bush junta has decreed that these
police state tactics are "legal."
How Persons Relate to the Collective Negative Energy Field
It's necessary to explicate precisely how specific individuals and groups are connected with the collective negative energy field, so it becomes clear how they either support it, are possessed by it, or how they oppose this demonic force.
"All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing."
Edmund Burke
Most persons collaborate with the collective negative energy field through doing nothing to further the cause of progressive forces, pursuing their own self-interest. They allow themselves to be taken in by the ideology that life is meant to be nothing but the pursuit of pleasure and personal aggrandizement. Even if they happen to participate in a positive activity, it's not a part of their general philosophy of life. A good example of this type of person is George Clooney, who participated in producing the estimable movies "Good Night and Good Luck" and "Syriana," but now believes that his all-important career would be
besmirched by doing any more "message" movies.
Some individuals and groups are partially influenced by the collective negative energy field, such as The Nation and
The New York Times, resulting in their presenting contradictory points of view. A few of the self-centered commentators on Air America 3 give progressivisim a bad name, but Laura Flanders, and Rachel Maddow are bright spots.
Those who work in more complete cooperation with the collective positive energy field, speaking truth to power, include, among others, the World Socialist Web Site, Seymour Hersh, Greg Palast, Thom Hartmann, Paul Krugman, and Keith Olbermann. 4
Any perceptive observer of current world events will likely agree that the category of those who are possessed and dominated by collective negative energy field ideologies and values include the demonic cabal members, among others for example, the Bush family.
Less easy to identify are the imposters who pretend to be well-intentioned, such as Rupert Murdoch, Bill and Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and John McBush.
Hillary Clinton represents the kind of "bait and switch" 5 scams that
the cabal and its Democratic Party lackeys are already pulling in regard to the 2008 election. Both she and her husband are agents of the criminal cabal that seized control of America in the early decades of the twentieth century. This cabal "smoke and mirrors"
6 tactic of controlling both Democratic and Republican politicians has been one of their hallmarks.
In the September 26, 2007 Democratic candidate debate, Hillary Clinton indicated that Social Security is an issue she's ready to compromise, stating that she'd appoint a non-partisan "committee" to solve the system's supposed problems. She earlier refused to vote on the anti-bankruptcy bill, revealing once again that she's a shill for the corporations. Her refusal to admit that her vote for the Iraq war was a mistake means that she's essentially a Republican in Democratic clothing (as Joseph Lieberman is a Republican in Independent clothing--when you see his name, it's identified as R Israel).
To recognize that Bill Clinton was a cabal agent, you have only to look at illustrative operations during his presidential tenure:
He complied with the cabal's insistence that he instigate the war in Kosovo--so the former Soviet Union satellite countries could be pulled into the cabal-dominated NATO and a strategic U.S. military base be located in that region
He saw to it that NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement) passed, which has resulted in millions of American jobs being outsourced to lower-wage locations and has decimated the American economy
We must make certain that we're not taken in by such counterfeit Democratic candidates as Barack Obama (advised by Brzezinski) and Hillary Clinton in the 2008 presidential election. We already suffered from the cabal ringer 7 John Kerry going back on his promise to contest the stolen 2004 election, standing in solidarity with his Skull-and-Bones brother, George W. Bush.
In previous essays, we've explored what initiatives should be carried out to combat the collective negative energy forces in the external world against such collaborators with evil as those pictured below:
There are only two alternatives in regard to the collective negative energy field:
Either do nothing as most everyone is currently doing:
Remaining in or eagerly embracing their ignorance
Assuming that things will somehow miraculously improve or that some "savior" will rescue them--such as the Democratic Party
Waiting until the negative forces completely destroy society and persons deemed "dissenters" or "subversives" are put in the Halliburton-built concentration camps throughout America
Study ourselves and the world to see how to overcome the collective negative energy field
There are no other alternatives!
Studying Ourselves and the World to Overcome Negative Forces
Most persons in the contemporary world have allowed themselves to be influenced by the collective negative energy field, so that they are now possessed by such delusional misconceptions of reality as:
Dictators (Bush, Iranian ruling mullahs, Saudi princes, Musharaf, and so on) are legitimate leaders.
The Iraq war is "bringing freedom to the Iraqi people."
Social Security is quickly plunging into financial bankruptcy.
We can expect egomaniacs such as Bush II or Bill Gates to destroy and defraud common people in any way they can. We can't hope to change such demonic persons. But we can improve our grasp on reality by examining how we're continually allowing negative forces to delude us, leading to our downfall.
Colin Wilson presented a similar view to that of the collective negative energy field in his book The Mind Parasites. Wilson likened these negative forces to psychic vampires.
Wilson suggested that the way to overcome these demonic forces is to examine the mind dimension in exact detail, using the technique of phenomenology as developed by Edmund Husserl. The difficulty is that Husserl's so-called methodology of phenomenology was wrapped in such turgid jargon that not only has no one really understood what he was saying, but his own disciples such as Heidegger, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Max Scheler, Edith Stein, Dietrich von Hildebrand, and Emmanuel Levinas overhauled the concept until it was no longer recognizable as the original.
About the clearest description of phenomenology Husserl provides is: "the reflective study of the essence of consciousness as experienced from the first-person point of view."
One of the common interpretations of phenomenology is:
"Phenomenology takes the intuitive experience of phenomena (what presents itself to us in phenomenological reflexion) as its starting point and tries to extract from it the essential features of experiences and the essence of what we experience. When generalized to the essential features of any possible experience, this has been called 'transcendental phenomenology.'" 8
Had anyone been capable of discerning that this is precisely the procedure Plato outlines in his dialogues, we might have avoided all the nonsense about phenomenology from Husserl and his followers.
We can expect corrupt political, financial, and religious leaders to try to enslave us. Our job is to study ourselves so effectively that we can:
Discover how we've allowed ourselves to be taken in by these corrupt leaders
Overcome these points of conditioning and brainwashing
Develop our mental and philosophical capabilities so we're able to direct our lives intelligently, contributing to the world struggle of positive forces against negative powers
If we ask the average person why he believes his ordinary consciousness is veridical, he'll say that it puts him in touch with reality in a way that "works" for him. "My usual way of thinking enables me to deal with objects, persons, and events in a manner that leads to successful outcomes. Since it 'works' for me why would I even consider the silly idea that I'm living in an illusory world or a dream state? I'm free from any such absurd restriction."
As Plato helps us to understand, the ordinary mental state of most humans is literally a form of dreaming while asleep. The difficulty is that the ordinary person isn't able--or willing--to acknowledge when his habitual consciousness (the dream state) leads him astray; when his view of the world causes him to mistake a dictatorial police state for a democracy, a mindless tyrant for a "fearless leader," and a pre-emptive, unjustified war for a struggle against terrorism and for the spreading of democracy.
The American Condition
"The essential problem is that Americans have been lying to themselves for so many years now that they are completely incapable of telling the difference between the rather frightening truth and their mythological view of America. The roots of the problem go back to the 1930's, but the real problems began right after the Second World War, when the American government came under the control of the group of thugs who still run the country.
There has been a carefully planned program of complete domination of all sources of information through total media control, the creation of the 'think tank' system to manufacture policy, the establishment of entrepreneurial right wing religion as a method of political control, the use of political contributions to buy politicians, and, if all else fails, simple violence. It is now a country where anyone who could do good is marginalized or assassinated, and changes in government are at least as likely to occur by coup d'etat than by the operation of democracy. There is no longer even the necessity to hide the fact that the country is run entirely for the benefit of certain large pools of capital. The essential lies that Americans tell themselves, which mainly have to do with class structure and, even at this late date, race, infect every major political issue in the country - crime and the incarceration industry, health care, the 'war on drugs', education, immigration, including the racist response to 9-11, the environment, poverty and the extraordinary creation of what is really a new caste system consisting of a permanent underclass (something that has happened, unnoticed, only in the last few years), and even American foreign policy. Each year since around the time of Sinclair's broadcast [Gordon Sinclair's famous broadcast from radio station CFRB in Toronto in 1973] the situation has gotten worse, but lately the rate of deterioration appears to be increasing rapidly. Things have gotten so bad that the government is now fronted by a retarded (and I use that word in a technical sense) clown, who everyone treats as if he were a real President (the worst lie to yourself is when you have to pretend that the obvious idiot who leads you is entitled to do so). The lies are so deeply ingrained into American thought that the vast majority of the population apparently is incapable of seeing that there is anything wrong, meaning that there is no possibility of change." 9
The cultural sleep state many Americans have allowed themselves to fall into involves the belief that truth is whatever their "leaders" tell them and right behavior is however their "leaders" act. It's okay for "leaders" to "out" a CIA agent if they don't happen to like what her husband says about their lying about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. It's legal to allow elections to be fixed in Florida and Ohio and elsewhere because Bush and his supporters say it's legal.
The absolutely fatal danger of this kind of non-thinking inculcated by a culturally-induced dream state is beyond measure. The very life and death of Americans is now being determined by such a cultural sleep state. If you think all this talk about Americans being asleep is philosophical nonsense, the stark reality of this dream state is made dramatically evident when we see almost no Americans rising up to protect their lives and their country. In this current totalitarian mind-set, the cultural myth that truth is a personal whim allows unscrupulous leaders to dictate "truths" which will inevitably lead to our destruction.
Plato is telling us that waking up to conscious adult social life has involved merely entering a dream at another level where we're unable to distinguish between physical objects and the Forms which they manifest. We must now move on to the next level where we acquire the ability to recognize the deeper meanings of terrestrial objects, events, and persons.
We must recognize that the present political-economic-religious-social reality is merely a temporary scene in a vast drama being played out on Reality's eternal stage, that humankind's experience within history is being used to bring about its spiritual evolution.
If the current mindless rulers delude themselves into believing that they control human life and human destiny, we're able to see through this chimera. We don't have to be taken in by their distortion of Reality. We can retain our own humanness, our ability to understand and our capacity to care for one another even in the face of the prevailing dog-eat-dog ideology.
We see, for example, that the cabal junta isn't interested in saving the lives of service personnel in Iraq; they have the technology to destroy 90% of the roadside bombs, but haven't taken this technology to Iraq. These inhuman creatures haven't sent humvee armor or body armor to soldiers in Iraq. They simply don't care if Americans--in Iraq or in the United States--live or die.
We see the true purpose of their militaristic imperialism when we read--almost every day--that they have let out a new no-bid contract to Haliburton, Blackwater, or one of the other corrupt corporations that support them.
Beyond seeing through the cabal's propaganda haze that attempts to keep people ignorant and asleep, what are the higher purposes which Transcendental Power is realizing through this present world-anarchy? In what way is this seemingly totally negative power structure being used to further human evolution?
The depraved outrageousness--the enormity--the total disregard for human life--shown by the cabal's actions are being used to awaken Americans to the fact that their very lives are at stake. Many people have allowed themselves to fall into so deep a somnambulism that only the most astounding events have a chance of awakening them. Some Americans came partially awake during the 2006 mid-term election and expressed their outrage at the cabal's depravity.
The more extreme the tyranny, the more direct the lessons to be learned. 9/11 has brought to the awareness of Americans that they will be murdered if they don't do something realistic in response--on their own, not by their leaders.
An inhuman militaristic imperialism--with wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, and next in Iran--is teaching Americans that no one should die for the rulers' egomaniacal purposes, that perpetual war for ruler profits is no safeguard of American lives but--on the contrary--the senseless slaughter of Americans instead.
The clearly negative character of George W. Bush is making clear to Americans that the presidency--and the entire structure of federal government--has been seized by a criminal gang. Dubya so totally lacks the intellectual and moral capabilities to lead effectively that it becomes abundantly clear that a cabal is in power--not the figurehead trotted out to show to the people.
The utter criminality of the Bush junta and its cabal controllers is becoming so clear for all to see--with the revelations of the crimes of Libby and Abramoff and others--that Americans are awakening to the need to replace the rulers with decent, just leaders and institute new political and economic structures that will establish a government of the people for the people.
The murder of Americans--in war and through economic repression--is providing the lesson that the American public--in large numbers--has become intellectually, morally, and vitally (life-or-death) dysfunctional to the point of becoming suicidal. The present outrages are making it clear that Americans are so out of touch with reality that they will allow others to lead them to their own destruction.
The total seizure of all political and economic power by this demonic cabal is finally awakening Americans to the necessity of organizing themselves to create a more perfect union, that the course of human events has come to the point that it is now necessary for the American people "to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with" their rulers and "to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them."
Plato to the Rescue
To understand what Plato meant by reality, we must study his concept of the "twilight world" of delusion, ignorance, and tyranny. We can only understand what Plato meant by "twilight world" if we think clearly about our current political-social situation. At present, we're faced with a demonic cabal which has created a totally false reality.
Plato understood the world of untruth to be a "false reality" made to appear as the "true reality." For Plato, the deception, ignorance, and tyranny of a gang of fascist thugs such as the Bush junta is precisely what he meant by "false reality." Plato's overarching intention was a continuing struggle against the false world of tyranny and ignorance, just as we are experiencing today.
We must continually keep in mind that Plato had already lost his dearest friend and teacher Socrates in the battle against unrestrained oppressive power. This was not a dilettantish discussion or dainty debate; Plato's struggle against tyranny was a matter of life or death. He understood that he was battling against oppression in many forms to win the minds of young people who would be the future leaders.
The essence of Plato's philosophy was an ongoing battle against exactly the same kind of twisted, unreal, counterfeit world that we presently face. Philosophy--the search for wisdom and truth--arises out of the resistance of the soul to its destruction by a perverted world. The situation Plato faced--and we now face--is the life-or-death of our very being.
"To be deceived or uninformed in the soul about true being means that 'the lie itself' has taken possession of 'the highest part of himself' and steeped it into 'ignorance of the soul.'"
Plato, Gorgias (382a-b)
Not working to discover the truth and not having reasoned opinions about what is happening in the world is a way of being complicit in the tyranny that is going on.
Philosophy must be engaged in social-political analysis--among other things--because the order or disorder of a society shapes its citizens' minds and souls. All persons who want to safeguard their minds and their souls must engage in philosophy, in the sense of searching assiduously for the truth: what is really happening in the world.
Ordinary people can become "philosophers" through resisting the mind-manipulation of the cabal. A philosopher is any one who resists the attempt by the world of untruth to corrupt his soul, his higher self. Any genuine philosophy at present must struggle against the world of untruth created by the demonic cabal. If you read something by a so-called contemporary philosopher that isn't battling against the current form of tyranny, then you know that he or she is not genuine.
We must realize that we're in a battle not merely for whether this particular puppet regime of the demonic cabal starts this pre-emptive war or that, but with whether or not our very being will be subverted by lies and false values.
A depraved society--such as we now face--can destroy a person's soul, because the disorder of society is a disease in the psyche of it members. The philosopher guards her own soul against the degradations of the surrounding society which press on her. The philosopher diagnoses the health and disease in her personal soul and at the same time examines and struggles against devastation in a deranged society. She goes within her own being to study herself, thereby learning to struggle against the devastation of the collective negative energy field.
"The Creator gathered all of creation and said, 'I want to
hide something from humans until they have fully prepared themselves for it. It is the realization that their essence is unity with Me.'
The eagle said, 'Give it to me; I'll take it to the
moon and hide it there.' But the Creator said, 'No, one day they will go there and find it.'
Then the salmon said, 'Give it to me; I'll hide it in the bottom of the sea.' 'No,' said the Creator,
'they'll get there too.' Well, the buffalo said, 'Give it to me; I'll bury it in the plains.'
The Creator said, 'No, they will get there. They will cut into the skin of the earth, and they will find
it even there.'
Then Grandmother Mole spoke, she who has no physical eyes to see the outer world but has spiritual eyes to see the inner world, and she said, 'Put it inside them;
they'll never find it there until they have prepared.'
We've seen that there is a debilitating self that attempts to degrade and destroy individuals through their egomania, ignorance, and corruption. Similarly, there exists a collective negative energy field (CNEF) whose forces incapacitate and destroy humans because individuals allow these forces to use their energy and allow themselves to be oblivious to its assaults on their minds and bodies.
A major purpose in exploring the collective negative energy field is to help people realize that demonic forces in the world today constitute a more inclusive reality than the individual persons or operations that make up the world destruction that we see going on around us. Diabolic forces possess the actuality of a psychic field: a distinct dimension.
Large or small, groupings take on specific positive or negative traits, as Wilhelm Reich demonstrated in his 1933 book The Mass Psychology of Fascism. Individuals or
collectives are able to
manipulate and control groups through their understanding of these group mind characteristics.
The collective unconscious or universal mind is similar to the collective negative energy field in that the collective unconscious is inclusive of and associated with but independent of the conscious and subconscious mind of individual persons.
collective negative energy field. For example, a person may develop capability in thinking about and understanding what's happening in the world. As he gains recognition for his abilities, however, he can easily succumb to egomania, taking on airs of self-importance. Within a short time his effect on other people is predominantly negative and he has unconsciously become a part of the negative energy force.
A person becomes a zombie agent of the collective negative energy field by deliberately acceding to the most noxious elements within his psyche (mind and personality). Once having given control over to negative forces, the individual then essentially has no mind of his own and follows the dictates of the leaders of the demonic forces.
Many people have been conditioned to assume that depicting the current world situation in stark, forthright terms must betray a hateful, unrestrained, deranged mind-set. On the contrary, such blunt, candid depictions can be simply descriptive and involve no hatred or feelings of rancor or revenge, as we see in the lives of such exemplary persons as Socrates, Plato, Jesus, and Boethius, all of whom in their time spoke out forcefully against demonic forces.
Taking the same podium that he used five years ago to condemn the world body to 'irrelevance' if it failed to rubber stamp his plans for a war of aggression against Iraq, Bush cast his regime in Washington as the world’s greatest champion of human rights and its most generous and selfless benefactor.
We're engaged in a life-or-death struggle against the collective negative energy forces; this is not some polite academic debate! Anyone who attempts to hide this reality or cloak it in euphemisms is a part of the negative force. Persons who try to dismiss such stark depiction of current reality as paranoid conspiracy theory are agents of the collective negative energy field.
Less easy to identify are the imposters who pretend to be well-intentioned, such as Rupert Murdoch, Bill and Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and John McBush.

As Plato helps us to understand, the ordinary mental state of most humans is literally a form of dreaming while asleep. The difficulty is that the ordinary person isn't able--or willing--to acknowledge when his habitual consciousness (the dream state) leads him astray; when his view of the world causes him to mistake a dictatorial police state for a democracy, a mindless tyrant for a "fearless leader," and a pre-emptive, unjustified war for a struggle against terrorism and for the spreading of democracy.
There has been a carefully planned program of complete domination of all sources of information through total media control, the creation of the 'think tank' system to manufacture policy, the establishment of entrepreneurial right wing religion as a method of political control, the use of political contributions to buy politicians, and, if all else fails, simple violence. It is now a country where anyone who could do good is marginalized or assassinated, and changes in government are at least as likely to occur by coup d'etat than by the operation of democracy. There is no longer even the necessity to hide the fact that the country is run entirely for the benefit of certain large pools of capital. The essential lies that Americans tell themselves, which mainly have to do with class structure and, even at this late date, race, infect every major political issue in the country - crime and the incarceration industry, health care, the 'war on drugs', education, immigration, including the racist response to 9-11, the environment, poverty and the extraordinary creation of what is really a new caste system consisting of a permanent underclass (something that has happened, unnoticed, only in the last few years), and even American foreign policy. Each year since around the time of Sinclair's broadcast [Gordon Sinclair's famous broadcast from radio station CFRB in Toronto in 1973] the situation has gotten worse, but lately the rate of deterioration appears to be increasing rapidly. Things have gotten so bad that the government is now fronted by a retarded (and I use that word in a technical sense) clown, who everyone treats as if he were a real President (the worst lie to yourself is when you have to pretend that the obvious idiot who leads you is entitled to do so). The lies are so deeply ingrained into American thought that the vast majority of the population apparently is incapable of seeing that there is anything wrong, meaning that there is no possibility of change." 
Plato is telling us that waking up to conscious adult social life has involved merely entering a dream at another level where we're unable to distinguish between physical objects and the Forms which they manifest. We must now move on to the next level where we acquire the ability to recognize the deeper meanings of terrestrial objects, events, and persons.
Plato understood the world of untruth to be a "false reality" made to appear as the "true reality." For Plato, the deception, ignorance, and tyranny of a gang of fascist thugs such as the Bush junta is precisely what he meant by "false reality." Plato's overarching intention was a continuing struggle against the false world of tyranny and ignorance, just as we are experiencing today.
Ordinary people can become "philosophers" through resisting the mind-manipulation of the cabal. A philosopher is any one who resists the attempt by the world of untruth to corrupt his soul, his higher self. Any genuine philosophy at present must struggle against the world of untruth created by the demonic cabal. If you read something by a so-called contemporary philosopher that isn't battling against the current form of tyranny, then you know that he or she is not genuine.

it even there.'
