The evil that people think they are fighting is actually a facade, part of the elaborate panoply of deceptions carefully crafted to exhaust precious energies and engender malaise and disenchantment. Their strategy has been overwhelmingly successful. While the so-called “good man” fights the good fight, struggles and endures a lifetime of relative frustration and loss, the “evil” progress and gain more power. Their power grows in proportion with our erroneous countermeasures. When witnessing their ascent, most of us become convinced that all is dark, that there is no way out ahead. We turn off, tune out, or gladly turn to the plethora of distractions made available by these same masters of deception. ..your will is leaving you, slipping away, and you are now beneath my influence. Though your eyes are open, and you seem aware, you are in fact asleep, your faculties dormant, your ability to act and think, subservient to my will... (The Devil Rides Out with Christopher Lee) Some, in typical Freudian fashion, react to their relative impotency by pathological identification with the masters. Under self-delusion, envy, and awe, this group falls in step even faster, going where they are told, working where they are told, and thinking what they are told to think. The line between man and automaton becomes negligible: Ours is the age which is proud of machines which think and suspicious of men who try to. (H. M. Jones) In our dreams we have limitless resources and the people yield themselves with perfect docil- ity to our molding hands... (Representative of the Rockefeller General Education Board). Impotent and jaded, we will remain until we awaken from our comatose state and get connected to our own sovereign power again. The Holy Grail that will take the “scales from our eyes” is nothing more that realizing and changing the perspective dynamics detailed above. To emphasize this point, another illustration may be in order: In the game of chess, the most powerful piece, the king, has, in fact, the most restricted mobility. He can only move one square at a time in any direction. But, it is not his adversary who imposes the said restrictions but the members of his own court. His very defenders impede his range of movement and action. The message and lesson here should be self-evident. Are we not the kings? Regardless of how he has misused power and freedom, the human is still regent of the Earth and the known universe? Our commitment and resolve is contained not by an adversary (alien or other), as much as by our own ineptitude. It is our strategies, or lack of them, that hinder resolution.
