Phantom Self

The overwhelming majority of us unknowingly suffer from a slave mentality. We constantly experience the psychological phenomena of cognitive dissonance, where our beliefs and behaviors are in conflict, as well as Stockholm syndrome – the traumatic bond with a captor. Our ability to decipher reality depends on what we can perceive. Icke believes that our reality has been hijacked by an invisible force that the Gnostics called Archons. He argues that we are heading towards a cashless world and human settlements projected as local community initiatives, but in reality, they are centralized control systems. Our health is systematically weakened: when you are sick, you are easier to control. Icke's dystopian view of the future assumes that the masses remain glued to their televisions, forever trapped in the hive mind of the Matrix, which says, "I have no power." Can humanity free itself? Through truth and love, we can become who and what we truly are.
