Scientists create false memories: what part of Matrix is this?Jon Rappoport The rats remember something frightening that never happened. Well, not exactly, if remembering implies a conscious act. Pavlov did what the MIT scientists did. He used dogs. He got them to drool when he rang a bell signaling it was feeding time, even though there was no food. The dogs remembered times when the bell accompanied food. Conditioned reflex. But there is something conditioned reflex doesnt cover. The act of remembering. The knowledge that you are remembering. Why is this important? Because were talking about being conscious, being aware, which, the last time I looked, has something to do with being alive as a human. Life as conditioned reflex is about machines. What Pavlov did, what the MIT scientists did, is, on another level, all about a propaganda operation aimed at convincing the masses that life is nothing more than conditioned reflex. One program inserted into the mind is just as good as another program. It just depends what the desired behavioral outcome is. So were talking about tyranny over the mind. Fascism. We can get you to remember anything. No. They can force conditioned reflexes. If you grew up in Miami, and one day, while walking down the street, you realized you had a memory of growing up in India, do you seriously think youd accept that memory? Having a memory (passive) and remembering (active) are two vastly different things, if youre not a machine. The amount of force (torture) it would take to erase that difference is enormous. So were back in MKULTRA territory. Wholesale conditioning. Coercion. Disorienting drugs. Thats what the famed CIA program was all about. Thats what it takes to blot out one past and insert another, just for a few hours. The conscious act of remembering is more than just brain activity. Consciousness is not a function or property of the brain. This isnt woo-woo stuff. Its as real as you sitting there reading this, the room youre in, the light in the room. Unless someone can talk you out of knowing that. Unless the tidal wave of propaganda about the brain as the center of all knowing can convince you to believe youre nothing more than brain processes. Unless you believe that all life in all its variety can always be measured. In which case, we have the incredible situation of a non-material YOU believing you are only material. If you want a cosmic joke, thats it. If you want to know something about Matrix, theres a good starting point. There is nothing about the brain that can give you the knowledge that you UNDERSTAND THE MEANING OF THE WORDS ON THIS PAGE. The brain does not possess the understanding of meaning. A machine can process information, but it never understands it. A machine can process information and take action based on instructions, but it can never know what its doing. Revving up the complexity of a machine doesnt make it evolve into consciousness. Thats a fairy tale sold by technocrats. Thats all theyve got. Theyve abandoned everything else. Theyve abandoned imagination and creative power and the capacity of the individual to invent new realities of all kinds. The basis of the American Revolution was supposed to be freedom, but of course, if the brain is the center of all knowing and behavior, the brainwhich is simply atoms in motion like all other atoms in the universecontains no freedom at all. Therefore, the whole idea of freedom is a preposterous hoax, and people, when they argue and fight for freedom, are terminally deluded. They should just stop what theyre doing and lie down and take it. Take whatever program is jammed into their brains. If the morons at MIT had any self-knowledge and courage, theyd stop what they were doing. Theyd shut down the lab. Theyd stop bothering the rats. Theyd access the open sky of their own imaginations. Theyd create something. They might figure out how to launch a revolution that could take back the freedoms weve lost. They might become artists. Theyd give their materialistic bullshit a rest. Theyd realize theyre alive and conscious. Theyd realize this has nothing to do with their brains. Theyd realize theyve been living in a psychotic state, believing on the one hand that all the particles that make up the universe have no life in themand on the other hand, believing that those same particles, when arranged in something called the brain suddenly give rise to everything called life in humans. Its a matrix of contradiction, a loop in the labyrinth where science lives, where science tries to enlist everyone else in its primary illusion.
