Just giving it a bump to see what others have to say.

That actually makes sense. It ties in with religion too.

Fear of hell is a big fear. Fear = control by the elite.

Fear of death has been ingrained in us, i guess its instinct. Self preservation perhaps. It makes sense that they want to keep us in as much fear as possible. To keep us in control.

As for the 'elite', they do exist. Their methods of control are all around us. It takes one question to open up the doorways. "Why?". Their marks are in history, and they are in the present. What takes place behind the curtains is unknown to us. But history tells us things that we should learn and pay attention to.

Good thread tho, its an interesting question.

No clue if it's been pointed out yet because I'm only on the second post (yours) but the OP wasn't saying the "Elites" (in quotation marks due to them being fictional) instill fear in us to keep us under their control.

He was actually saying that if they exist, they may know what waits on the other side when we die and thus show people so they don't fear dying and then can carry out whatever and not care if they die or not.

Similar to how Muslim fanatics instill the whole 72 virgins thing to their indoctrinated and brainwashed students to get them to carry out suicide attacks such as 9/11, the Bali bombing, the Madrid train bomb and 7/7 in London due to their fear of dying being wiped out thanks to the idea of paradise awaiting them when they pass on.

I've always thought the elites were withholding the truth about life and death, but I have a different take on it.

Think back to the so-called illuminati, who were persecuted by the church. I believe that they obtained secret knowledge that only the church was privy to prior to that. I think this knowledge, if disseminated, would have caused everyone to realize that they create their own reality, and that they didn't need organized religion as a conduit to God, which is what gives them all their power. That's why the church hunted them down and burned them at the stake.

Now if the present-day elites are connected to the original illuminati as some people say, then they most likely still maintain this knowledge and are doing everything they can to keep it hidden. Today that knowledge is considered part of New Age philosophy and ridiculed by the elites, much like everything else they try to suppress.

The bottom line is that the elites have us convinced that after death is Heaven or Hell. To get to Heaven you must be "good". Who defines what "good" is? The elites.

Perhaps you have barely begun creating your own reality? It wasn't until you started noticing that you should be questioning the reality they are trying to force upon us, that you were finally free to replace the rejected reality with your own.
