How to: Mind Control

Mind control is very real. This article is not for the type of skeptic who sees the evidence from a laboratory as divine and "if p then q, p, q" as metaphysical nonsense.

In other words, I'm going to tell you how it works, I'm going to tell you why it works, and I'm going to give you a yet-to-be-seen metaphysical proof for its existence and power, without providing a single peer-reviewed article. Please enjoy.

And please read the article. Otherwise, it will not make sense to you. I'm going to make it as nice and simple as I possibly can, just for you.

MIND CONTROL. What does it mean? As I will explain, it's not what you think. To start this explanatory process, we'll begin with the first rule of my metaphysic:

1. No ego can be coerced.

We're not talking toaster waffles here. And we're not talking about coercion with guns, either. An ego is what you are. It's what I am. For those who don't know, metaphysics is entirely concerned with the nature of being, so we're going to get down to the nitty-gritty details.

What are you? Are you your body? - head, arms, legs, hands and feet? Or maybe you are your brain? - all the neurons and particles that make it up? Tell me, what if you lose an arm? What if half your brain is surgically removed from out of your head? (Yes, it has happened.) Are you still you? Of course you are. What else would you be? :)

No, you are not your body, nor your brain. You are a perceiving, thinking and acting entity. You are an atom, in the Greek sense (something that is indivisible). You do not exist at a location, you exist outside of space. You are not perceivable, not thinkable, and not coercible. In other words, you have existence and a volition that is only yours.

2. No ego can be visualized.

You can not be seen, smelled, tasted or touched, and you cannot be visualized. I can visualize, "in my head" (but not really in anything), your body, or your brain - but I cannot visualize you, nor can you visualize yourself! This is because visualization happens in space - a person's mental space (which, as I will explain, is all the space there is) - and you are not in it! This will become very important later as we discuss what properties make something a creation (hint: being visualized is a big one.).

This should give some insight as to why no ego can be coerced. You can force the movement of my arm, but you cannot force the action of my will. You can move my body, but you cannot move me. After all, being outside of space, I don't move.

I'm sure there are a bunch of questions popping up in your head right now, least of which: "how is this relevant?" All I can ask is that you be patient - all will be explained.

3. All things are perceptions.

Allow us to consider the nature of things. A table, for instance. What makes up the existence of the table? You see it, you feel it, and you can perhaps smell or taste it if you wish. In other words, it exists as sensations. Seeing, feeling, touching, tasting and smelling are all perceptions, and the table is ultimately reducible to only these. If it were reducible to something else, you would not perceive it, and it would, thus, not be an aspect of the table.

4. There is a dualism of existence.

Now, I say things, but I categorize these as being outside the category of egos, which are not sensations. Egos cannot be reduced to any simpler form (thus, an "atom."). Here we acknowledge a dualism of existence: egos and things, or, egos and perceptions (or sensations). No sensation is reducible to "ego" and no ego is reducible to sensation (it is an entity of sensing). They are wholly different.

Just to get this straight, remember that your body is sensations, while you are an ego. That means that you are wholly different from your body.

 5. The world was created by an ego.

As you can easily attest to, the ego may produce thoughts "ex nihilo" - from nothing. Just as you can visualize a table, so other egos can create objects in space. But there are two great differences between your visualized table and the tables you do not visualize. The latter are of a far superior quality, and they also are not of your making. But that does not mean another did not make them. Indeed, a far more powerful mind than yours - a God, we'll call this creator - produced from his thought the tables you see just as you produce tables from your own thinking. There are two ways we know this, and several very important implications that result.

In philosophy, there is a well-known problem of induction proposed by David Hume in the eighteenth century. It states, and correctly, that a knowledge of the present and past does not provide a knowledge of the future. Quite simply, that the apple has fallen from the branch a hundred times before has no bearing on whether or not it will fall an a-hundred-and-first time. And yet, we do predict the future, and are quite successful. We know things about it. The explanation is also simple: God, creator of the things we see, keeps them constant such that we can apply our own interference. Without laws, which are not necessary, but constant by the will of God, we would not be able to use our agency in ways conducive to our own progression. Thus, as we only ever have the past state of affairs as a basis, God establishes the law as a Schelling point by which man can predict the future. (Those more interested on the subject are welcome to talk to me further. I would recommend learning about Schelling points first. :) )

If the world were of a random existence, we could not establish any reason for its staying constant. We would be at a total loss to predict any future event. The problem of induction would literally destroy all inductive reasoning ability, and we would be lost in void.

Furthermore, knowing that the ego and things are of a separate fundamental existence, it is altogether impossible that the happenstance would so arrive that perceptions are made perceivable by various beings, all of which are granted the same perceptions. There is no "link" between your mind and mine - that we both perceive the same things is surely by virtue of an intelligence which desired it.

6. Thought imposition is necessarily possible.

And now we begin our steps toward mind control - first by acknowledging that which God has done to us. God has not only produced visualizations of extraordinary vividness - he has imposed them on your mind and mine. He has visualized His thoughts into our own mental space. God is no fundamentally different from you and I - he is an ego - one that acts, thinks, and perceives, and is relatable to us, building an entire world for the sole purpose of our own progression. This entity, of a fundamental nature no different from you or I, can impose his thoughts into the mind of another.

Can we do the same?

There is no proof that extends further than this, except by your own experimentation. As it happens, we can. Telepathy is the simple process of two egos imposing thoughts in each other's minds, and it is completely doable.

So, what about mind control?

Mind control is no fundamentally different from telepathy. Indeed, it is telepathy - but with a notable twist. Most minds happen to be in a state of total pandemonium. Most people do not have a direction for their lives. It is when you impose a thought as a mind quieter than theirs - as a mind that is obviously purposed and with direction - that they assume it to be a thought of their own, but an extraordinary one, and they obey, without consciously knowing why. This is mind control - an awesome responsibility, with as much potential to do harm as it has to bring great reward. But I extend it to you as an option.

Here is how it is done: visualize a funnel above your body, or above your soul if you can so manage. Visualize another funnel above the body (or soul) of another. Make your mind exceedingly quiet. Now imagine your thought being produced from your head, and coming out of your funnel, then place it into the funnel above the other's head. Watch the results. Keep in mind that the thoughts are not literally entering another's head - as we have already discussed, they are entering the mental space of another entity that has no location, and whose space is inaccessible to you. You are forcing your thoughts into their space by visualizing something meaningful that connects to the understanding you currently have. You must be persistent. The mind grows stronger with practice.

Again I say, mind control is a great responsibility. I advise those who practice it to bear in mind all appropriate ethical considerations, while making sure to have an extraordinary time.

Blessings!
