Scholé News – September 2023
The mind control methods have kept me busy
The mind control methods already mentioned in the August news have kept me busy. On Reiner Füllmich’s Telegram channel ICIC I came across a great interview about them. Jason Christoff, an expert on mind control, first gives a condensed account of this complex subject, which, incidentally, he had presented shortly before in the European Parliament. Of course, only the few dissenting MEPs who had invited him were in the room, but via the internet his talk has already reached hundreds of thousands of interested people.
Christoff’s opening topic is the survival instinct, the main function of our subconscious, which never rests and registers a thousand times more information than our conscious mind. To sort and weigh this flood of information, the subconscious needs only a fraction of a second. In doing so, it follows a very simple principle: the more often it registers a stimulus – an image, a sound – the greater its significance for the survival of the species must be. Humans are social beings; an individual on their own has no chance of survival. So the greatest security comes from joining whichever group is largest, which is also the one sending out the most signals. The subconscious keeps count and passes its assessment on to the conscious mind: most signals come from this group, so you must stick to it to be as well protected as possible!
Would you dare to stand by the truth?
How hard it is for people to overcome an unconscious reflex even in completely harmless situations is shown by the famous Asch experiment. A psychologist invites people to a simple perception test: on the screen the participants each see five lines, labelled A, B, C, D, E. Two of them are the same length. The six people gathered are to answer the child’s-play question of which ones. In the first rounds there is agreement. But in the fourth or fifth round, the first person suddenly gives an obviously wrong answer. Those sitting next to them follow suit as a matter of course.
Only the last person in the round looks bewildered: they do not know that they are the only real test subject and that all the others are playing a rigged game with them. They can clearly see that the answer is wrong. But dare they contradict the unanimous opinion of all the others? This psychological experiment has been repeated many times, always with the same result: only one in four people musters the courage to stand up to the rest of the group when the other participants unanimously declare two obviously different lines to be the same length!
On the power of our subconscious
Propaganda has always exploited this universal behavioural reflex. But influence works much better still when the conscious mind has no chance at all to step in and correct things, because the signals are so brief and so well hidden that only the subconscious, a thousand times faster, registers them at all! That is the basis of mind control. Trained experts hide certain recurring signals in images and texts, in films and talks, which steer the viewer in a particular direction without their conscious mind noticing.
How brilliantly this mechanism works is shown by Jason Christoff in his talk using a clip from a talent show on American TV. A young man walks onto the stage smiling confidently and announces that he will successfully influence the subconscious of those present as well as of thousands of viewers connected by video. The masterfully trained mentalist talks about his student job as a bartender, in which he was able to study people and their behaviour very closely without being noticed. Meanwhile an introductory video runs on the screen – you see the young man drying glasses in a bar and then hurrying through a winding alley to the TV studio. He then asks the audience in the hall and the viewers at home, in a jaunty tone, to get a pen and a sheet of paper. Everyone is then to draw the picture they see in their mind’s eye.
Now comes the big moment: both the judge in the TV studio and the thousands of viewers at home connected by video hold up their drawings at the same time at the contestant’s command – and lo and behold: every single sheet shows the same motif: a sun, usually with a face, surrounded by shorter or longer rays.
Incredulous amazement all round. The contestant beams. He has made good on his announcement that he could hack the audience’s subconscious. How was that possible? Quite simple, says the mentalist, and runs the little video clip again in which he can be seen drying glasses at a bar and on his way to the studio. Several times he briefly presses the pause button and draws the viewers’ attention to inconspicuous little details in the background – a beer mat, a poster, a scribble on a wall – on which the sun motif can be seen very briefly. Four barely perceptible repetitions of this motif in the background were enough to programme so many people unconsciously!
Humans are herd animals
Christoff’s talk, which takes up further interesting aspects of mind control, made me very thoughtful. Even if I assume that, like all readers of these news, I would probably be resistant enough not to be cowed in the Asch experiment, I have to admit realistically that on countless other occasions I have certainly been successfully influenced without noticing the slightest thing! So we must not attach too much weight to our views and opinions, because we cannot trust them. On the level of thinking we are all manipulable mass people. Herd animals whose behaviour is easy to predict and control.
If we lived as free people in a natural environment, our subconscious reflexes – no differently from those of wild animals – would simply be life-preserving instinctive reactions. But for thousands of years we have been living in artificially altered environments whose designers are by no means the kindly shepherds they so like to pretend to be. No, the god-kings, high priests, emperors by the grace of God or democratically legitimised rulers of today are merciless oppressors or unwitting accomplices of anonymous exploiters who have refined their methods more and more over the centuries. Their power has always rested on their success in deceiving the overwhelming majority of their believing subjects by using the instinctive reactions described above to spread lies, threats and false promises.
Who or what controls us?
Whoever controls the transmission of information – in temples, schools and the media – can drive the poor lemmings to harm or even destroy themselves, as we have to watch every day around the world. Willingly they eat and drink the unhealthy food and drinks that advertising talks them into, have themselves and their children vaccinated sick, swallow medicines that benefit only their manufacturers, tremble before the approaching climate collapse, do “military service” without protest or prattle from their comfortable spectator’s seat about a “just war of defence”.
So the central question is: what distinguishes the – fortunately growing – minority of those who no longer fall for the swindlers without resistance from the obedient lemmings? A simple drawing I came across today puts it in a nutshell: many grey figures stand close together with their heads bowed. Only here and there does one of the grey figures raise its head with a surprised smile: a bright red heart shows on its chest.
Yes, “one sees clearly only with the heart”, as the Little Prince taught us. But to do so we first have to become like children who have not yet been confused by well-meaning early-years educators with subtle methods and introduced to problem-thinking. The unobstructed view, which we can only regain through hard work on ourselves, opens up access to our inner wealth and to the glory of creation in its countless variations. In times like these, however, it is often terrible images too that our heart beholds in destroyed landscapes and behind the glittering façade of the entertainment industry.
Escape into pseudo-problems and pseudo-worlds
In the face of systematic destruction of nature, child and organ trafficking, satanism, paedophilia, bloody uprisings and massive falsifications of history, the temptation is great to close our eyes and hearts again quickly and prefer to keep busy with pseudo-problems or escape into pseudo-worlds. The choice of pseudo-problems that the media deliver to our homes is endless, and pseudo-worlds – a flourishing line of business! – are on offer in every flavour: from the silvery shimmering realms of little angels, elves and rainbow-coloured unicorns to the dark cellars of secret societies where heavily armed warriors prepare to save the world.
Towards the end of his talk Jason Christoff gives one more very important pointer. As a society as a whole, he says, we have been made so soft – this too is a variety of mind control – that most of us have become incapable of enduring pain and voluntarily taking on challenging tasks. What is missing in our civilised world are the initiation rites that, in indigenous societies, mark the transition from the status of dependent child to that of self-determined adult. That is why many of us remain so childish all our lives that they see nothing wrong in still blindly following the instructions of some authority or other as adults, without ever questioning its legitimacy.
Crossing the threshold
In indigenous societies, boys at the age of 14 and girls usually already at 12 cross the threshold to adulthood by exposing themselves for days to life-threatening trials without any outside help. In the pitch-black jungle, surrounded by venomous snakes and wild animals, or left alone in lonely stone deserts without knowing the way to the nearest waterhole, the young people experience moments of acute fear of death. Mother, father, all their previous protectors are gone; there is no point calling for them.
But precisely in these terrifying situations the young lads and girls suddenly discover that there is an authority within themselves that knows exactly what to do. They meet their own Higher Self, which is able to save them from the direst need and to which they will entrust themselves from now on! They no longer need outer guidance; they will return to their community as adults and take on responsibility there: SELF-reliant, SELF-empowered, full of SELF-confidence and SELF-awareness.
Could it be that in these challenging times we are being given precisely the chance to face a collective initiation rite?
Wishing us all much joy and success in awakening and growing up!

2nd edition of “Lernen ist wie Atmen” (Learning is like breathing)

The 2nd edition of our book meets a completely changed readership.
In 2017, the idea that learning outside school was possible at all was considered the eccentric notion of a few outsiders. Since then, all parents, whether they wanted to or not, have had to deal with forms of learning outside school.
The number of children withdrawn from school has exploded since then, and alternative learning projects are springing up like mushrooms.
