I was recently watching the secret, and it gave me a thought. I realize that many people probably take issue with the things espoused in that movie, but I think that it has some merit. I really do believe in our creative power and that the world , or astral light, patterns itself according to the image we impress upon it. The thought that this gave me is that all of us here on ATS spending so much time and energy contemplating TPTB taking controll, instituting a slave/police state, talking about how and when they would do it, could be helping to manifest this reality.

Even if you don't believe in the power of thought, or anything besides tangible reality. I can still prove the inherent worthless of such speculation and conversation, using only natural arguments. The only possible benefit of such conversation is thinking of strategies to defend against any power play "they" could make. But, by discussing this strategy in an open forum, your telling your perceived enemy what you would do in that case, giving them time to plan around that.

In keeping with this insight I would like to propose solutions to this, as pointing out the problem is unhelpful. Perhaps anytime we would like to talk about a potential problem, we should point out potential solutions. For example I was thinking about how banking (usury) is inherently a scam, because over time more and more of the overall wealth is concentrated into the hands of the bankers. But this thought, or issue can be nullified when we realize the money has no inherent value, and if someone were to try to take advantage of their disproportionate wealth do to this scam (using the money in your hands to shift more money into your hands), we can just not recognize the buying power of said money.

Of course if the bankers who have accumulated mass wealth through these means were to buy up material assets, and resources, before they drained liquidity from the system, then they would have real wealth, with which they could feed, and equip armies to protect their assets. Which goes back to my second point that any strategy can be circumvented. Which is why, imho, it's best to just ignore your perceived adversary (while recognizing the worthlessness of money) and to live the life you would want to live whether they were standing in your way or not.

You should read "The Astral Body" by A.E. Powelle.

He goes into exactly what you are describing, he talks about Humanity creating thought-forms that are so strong they can actually manifest into reality and cause epidemics and an overwhelming negativity in peoples daily lives.

I believe that a lot of the bad being done is the dark side of every Human and the only way to combay any of that is with love and truth.

Which came first, the conspiracy theorist or the conspirator?

Probably neither exist in reality, except that some people like to think they know about secret happenings in shadowy places and others like to think themselves more powerful than they actually are.

Id like to meet the man who is a conspirator who was once a conspiracy theorist. Anyone?

And I guess people can create their realities in a niche sort of way.

Does this come under Sheldrake's Morphic Resonance theory?

Its true that fear and anger (encapsuled in most conspiracy theories) empower those we are fearful and angry about. Not being worried about "them" disempowers them. Therefore it would be in their interest to disseminate and publish as many paranoid theories about themselves as possible, to keep the populace in the belief of their great power and our own hopelessness. You wont get any Flags or Stars for saying so because people dont generally want to own the part they play in the overall situation of the world. This is why they blame the state of things on TPTB. Those powers that be are nothing but a reflection of oneself. In every rebel there is also a tyrant, because we eventually become what we fight against.

Well stated.
