I Okay, right, so moving on, this story is something that we've spoken about kind of extensively in different areas, but I think given all the challenges that people are facing, the fact that more people are turning to things like religion for a search for meaning and a search for purpose and a search for some kind of certainty of what's next and some comfort, that's very understandable, isn't it, given the state of the world.
But religion is obviously giving your power away to somebody else.
So let's have a go through this belief system and this idea that people need some kind of fixed point of reference to feel secure, and how these religions are actually taking advantage of that.
Well, first of all, what's a religion?
It's a rigid, unquestioning belief system.
Now that can take the form of Christianity, of Islam, of Hinduism, or it can take the form of human-caused climate change and mainstream scientific orthodoxy.
Religion is not just temples and synagogues and churches and cathedrals.
It's about belief.
And I've talked before about how the left side of the brain is dominant in Western society and indeed increasingly global society.
And the left side of the brain is always looking for certainty.
And so it will react to uncertainty, and we live in these increasingly uncertain times, by looking for something to feel certain about.
So they basically grip their version of certainty until their knuckles turn white.
And one of them is religion.
And what we're seeing, because people, they look at religion, and what is religion?
In all its forms, including the ones I've mentioned, it is a state of certainty.
This is how it is.
I am certain of that, or I convince myself I am.
So if I believe in Jesus, I'll go to heaven.
And if I do what Allah wants, I'll go to heaven or the garden or wherever.
And so This retreat into seeking certainty is a part of the trickery that's going on.
Because what you do is you create uncertainty, you create chaos, you create upheaval, you create fear from all that.
And then what you don't want people to do is to go beyond that, to go beyond the dream and see it for what it is.
You want to use problem-reaction-solution.
You want to use the chaos and the uncertainty to corral them into what they perceive to be a state of certainty.
And this is why a lot of people now are finding religion and they're being encouraged to do so.
I say finding religion, the vast majority of the world follows a religion.
But especially if you take on all the others that aren't called religions.
And so what you're seeing with the mainstream alternative media, which is being completely hijacked, I mean, you know, Please.
You're seeing more of those people finding religion.
And that's encouraging people, even the pushbackers, and the people who are skeptical of what's going on, pushing them into religion as the answer.
You look at the mainstream alternative media in America, it's absolutely dominated by the Christian religion, dominated by it, and in many other parts of the West as well.
The idea is to keep you in a state of myopia, perceptual myopia, so that you don't expand your awareness into the great infinite field of knowledge, awareness and perception, inspiration, to see That this is just a manipulated realm of perceptual control.
This is not a human society that is unfolding, quote, naturally.
It's being manipulated to keep you in the perceptual box so you don't see what you need to see to To see beyond the manipulated illusions that they put before us.
And so if you start to react against the system, there is a potential chance you might keep expanding that awareness to the point where you see it for what it is, though no, we've got to put you in a cul-de-sac.
called a religion to hold you in servitude.
And, you know, you've only got it's like, over the years, right back, right back in the early 90s, I was I was, I was saying, look, take a breath.
Take a step back, look at it again.
There was a there was a great It wasn't a joke.
It was a presentation in the way that he did it by Bill Hicks, the great American comedian, who could see a lot of this.
And he said at one point, as part of his comedy act, he was talking about, you know, who's really running America and what have you.
And he said, take a breath.
Take a step back.
Look at it again.
Oh, it's a piece of shit.
Yes, that's all it is, he would say.
And what they don't want you to do is go...
Ah, they don't want that.
They want you continually in a state of perception, of limited perception.
And so if you look at the film, The Life of Brian, which was a magnificent exposure by those involved, the Monty Python guys, a magnificent exposure of religion in all its different forms in the sense that things that happened or are supposed to have happened thousands of years ago still control the perceptions of people today.
They control in often in fine detail what they do and don't do what they believe and they don't believe and On the basis of what?
You know, when you when you are brought up in a Christian family, say in the South of America, then there's a heck of a chance you're going to be a Christian.
If you're brought up in the Islamic world, there's a almost certainty you're going to be a Muslim.
Same with further east in the realm of Hinduism.
So clearly, these decisions on your beliefs are not to do with your personal choice of looking at the possibilities and coming to your own unique conclusion.
It's through repetition.
And through repetition, people can believe the most extraordinarily garbage, simply because that's all they've ever heard.
And they're clinging to the wreckage of the chaos.
Because that's their sense of certainty.
And here's a wonderful clip from the life of Brian.
And it relates to It's a shoe!
It's a sign!
It's not.
He's gone!
He's been taken up!
He's been taken up!
I can't!
There he is!
He's been taken up!
He's given us a sign!
He has given us a shoe!
The shoe is the sign!
Let us follow his example!
What?
Let us like him!
Hold up one shoe and let the other be upon our foot, for this is his sign that all who follow him shall do likewise!
No, no, no!
The shoe is a sign that we must gather shoes together in abundance!
Cast off the shoes!
Follow the boy!
No!
Let us gather shoes together!
Let me!
No, no!
It is a sign that, like him, we must think not of the things of the body, but of the face and head!
Give me your shoe!
Get off!
Follow the gourd!
The holy gourd of Jerusalem!
The gourd!
Hold up the sandal!
It is a shoe!
It is a shoe!
It's a sandal!
No, it is not a shoe!
Pass it away!
Put it on!
Clear off!
Take the shoes and follow him!
Stop!
Let us... Let us...
Yay, he cometh to us like the seed of the grave.
I haven't watched that film for years but seeing these clips I want to.
They even pre-empted the trans agenda, didn't they, with the scene about, I'm Loretta.
So it's quite prophetic.
But yeah, that's completely true.
They make things fit with what they already believe, don't they, and ignore stuff that contradicts it.
That's been religion's tactic for, well, millennia.
That's why if you want to be a truly open-minded researcher, you can't have a religious belief that's unquestionable
because that means that you are going to self-censor yourself in going to any areas
that challenges your religious belief.
But if you look at religion through the centuries and thousands of years in some cases, you can see this extraordinary control that it has been used to impose.
So if you, this is why I find it staggering That so-called alternative activists can convert to the Roman Catholic Church, given its history of suppressing those, killing those, torturing those, that have a different view on life to the Roman Church.
And here's another clip from the life of Brian.
It's to do with how you can't say the name of God.
You can't say Jehovah.
You have been found guilty by the elders of the town of uttering the name of our Lord.
And so as a bliss fever, You are to be stoned to death!
Look, I had a lovely supper, and all I said to my wife was, that piece of halibut was good enough for Jehovah!
Yes for me!
He said it again!
Did you hear him?
Really?
Really?
Are there any women here today?
Very well.
By virtue of the authority vested in me... Oh, lay off!
We haven't started yet!
Come on!
Who threw that?
Who threw that stone?
Come on!
Sorry, I thought we started.
Go to the back.
Oh, dear.
Always one, isn't there?
No, where were we?
Look, I don't think it ought to be blasphemy.
Just saying Jehovah.
You're only making it worse for yourself!
Making it worse?
How could it be worse?
Jehovah!
I'm warning you!
If you say Jehovah once more... Right!
Who's through that?
Come on!
Who threw that?
Was it you?
Yes.
Right.
Well, you did say Jehovah.
Stop it!
Now look, no one is to stone anyone until I blow this whistle.
Do you understand?
Stop it! Stop it, you... Stop that! Stop it!
Now look, no one is to stone anyone until I blow this whistle. Do you understand?
Even... and I want to make this absolutely clear...
Even if they do say Jehovah!
Good job!
Yeah, this was quite an interesting scene.
It was a very funny scene as well, wasn't it?
Is there any women present?
They all had their fake beards on.
Yeah.
Yeah, but it's just crazy, man.
And how many people have been murdered, tortured, and even far greater numbers controlled in their behaviour and thought?
by these manufactured religions, because they are manufactured.
They're absolutely manufactured, if you go back far enough.
Who wrote the Bible, basically, and decided what went in it?
The Roman Church!
I mean, please!
And so we really do need a A perceptual cleanse, a perceptual clean out of all these things we're told to believe in, and then just come to our own open minded
conclusions without preconceived idea and let's see where we go because what
I'm describing has been the history, known human history of any way of the
world and it's got us where we are. It is not gonna get us out of where we are
it's gonna take us further in it. Absolutely and another great American
comedian George Carlin did a brilliant sketch on the Ten Commandments and one
of the commandments is obviously thou shall not kill and he made a very good
More people have been killed in the name of God than anything else in history by a mile.
Do you understand, though, given, you know, the state of the world, people feel very out of control, they feel very small and uneasy, do you understand why people are maybe looking at that area of religion and going, well, at least that gives me, in a sense, some certainty?
They're obviously going down it because they're scared.
And a lot of people, I would suggest, are living in a state of fear at the moment as to what the future looks like.
So do you kind of understand how they're being manipulated to go down there?
I'll completely understand.
But you see, when you look at the major religions, they are telling you to give your power to some deity.
It could be, quote, God, it could be Allah, it could be the Hindu deities.
I mean, how many are there?
But, you know, take your pick.
But it's to give your power away, right?
Okay, I am subordinate to God, right?
And then you've got the political system, which is a mirror of that.
Give your power away to the next bloody Chancellor who comes along and tells you they're going to bring about change.
So, the thing is, if you're swapping the frying pan for the fire, we're not moving, are we?
So there has to be another way.
How about that we start to remember that we are not the body, We are not human.
That is a brief experience for what we truly are, which is a state of consciousness, a state of awareness.
We are awareness on an eternal journey of experiencing forever, forever.
And we've got trapped in this perception of human.
And if you take on I am human, what you're saying is I have fantastic, almost incomprehensible levels of limitation, of I can't, as of I could never, of little me.
And if we can move our sense of self-identity from that, to the fact that we are consciousness, eternal consciousness, having a brief experience as that, then we'll start to tap in to the true nature of self, the true power of self.
And as we expand our self-identity, we are expanding our awareness deeper and deeper into the field of infinity and accessing more and more of that knowledge awareness inspiration.
And perception.
And therefore, from that point of expanded self-identity, I am consciousness, ultimately all consciousness, you see this world in a completely different way.
Well, people are doing that.
I am human.
This is me.
And this is what Trump or Biden, what do you think?
You're kind of here going, it's a trap.
It's a dream.
It's a perceptual dream you've been induced into believing in.
And from that point of view, fear disappears because what's the worst that can happen?
Okay, we'll kill you if you say that.
Okay, fine.
Do you mean I'm going to be out of this shit?
Oh, thank you very much.
Okay, thank you.
Very kind of you.
You know what I mean?
It's like you lose that fear because one of the greatest fears is fear of the unknown, and the greatest fear of the unknown is fear of death.
And if you can get over that fear of death, because you know that you are eternal consciousness having a brief human experience, and death is just dropping the body, it's not dropping you, then the amount of intimidation that you can succumb to kind of disappears, instead of being enormous, as it is for most people.
Yeah, no wonder they want to suppress that information because fear of death and fear of the unknown, as you said, is probably what holds most people in the positions that they're in and probably the reason most people live quite conservative lives and don't do the things that they really want to do because of that fear.
You were doing an interview Monday that I was filming and you mentioned that through, just because this kind of ties into religion, giving your power away, you mentioned that through the time you've been in the alternative media, 30 odd years, You've seen people come and go, and the common theme between a lot of people that came in was, don't worry, someone's coming to save the day, everything's going to be fine.
And obviously, we're seeing that now in lots of ways as well.
But religion is that, isn't it, as well?
You used to say your spirituality is taken care of, if you like.
Yeah, well, I mean, we talked last week about Tucker Carlson saying that he kind of realized that there's a non-human element to this manipulation of human society, but he doesn't want to know anymore.
What he's basically saying is, oh, leave that to God.
And any time people are saying, you know, don't worry about it, it's all sorted.
What that is, is buying time.
It's buying time to get the agenda further and deeper and more entrenched than it is even now.
They don't want you to do anything.
They want you to have faith that someone else is going to sort it.
And we're seeing this again.
It's done again this second time around with Donald Trump.
It's like, get Trump in and it will be sorted.
No, it won't.
No, Trump's a psyop, like Musk's a psyop, like all this stuff.
The mainstream alternative media is now a psyop.
So they're not going to sort it.
They're there to hold you in the trap.
And in terms of the mainstream alternative media, they're holding you in the trap, some of them, because they know that's what they're doing.
But most of them, they're holding you in the trap because they're in the bloody trap.
So it's for us as individual consciousness and together collective consciousness to work it out for ourselves and not have to follow anyone else.
I mean, if people are putting stuff out like I do, well, give it a look, see what you think.
But don't bloody follow me.
Because that's not what it's about.
Sharing information, yeah, of course.
But following people in the sense of they up there, me down here, forget it, mate.
Because if you do that, the system has you.
Coming up to you in Los Angeles and saying he was a former Buddhist and he said,
David, you're now my new guru. I remember you saying, well, you're not really listening to me
then. If you think that. No, everybody got a mirror. There's your bloody guru, mate.
There's a lot of things that I've said over the years, which were perceived to be crazy.
And then suddenly they start to move mainstream.
So, you
I'm waiting for someone to convince me that we don't live in a simulation.
What is real?
How do you define real?
If you're talking about what you can feel, what you can smell, taste and see, then real is simply electrical signals interpreted by your brain.
