- You're probably familiar with buffers, those spinning
fuzzy disks used to polish vehicles. In computers, a buffer functions as
a memory area for holding data to be used later. But we're not talking
about either one of these.
-
- A previous rense.com article "Why People Don't Care
About Freedom" [1] describes the pop-up wall in every person's mind.
It discusses how to educate people in a virtual classroom to counteract
a lifetime of brainwashing and help them realize what's happening to them.
-
- This sounds like an impossible task but it can be done.
As of this writing 122 websites have copied and posted the article about
freedom, originally posted on rense.com just a few days ago. This clearly
demonstrates there are many people in this world who care about freedom.
- I never tell anyone they should "wake up."
Why? In order to wake someone up they already have to be asleep.
Since sleep is a necessary part of life, how many times can you "wake
someone up" to the facts? In a hospital, they wake you up many times
all night long to take your temperature and blood pressure, then tell you
to go back to sleep.
-
- Yelling at people to "wake up" is a pointless,
insulting and demeaning expression which only serves to trigger the
pop-up wall in someone's mind. Once you trigger the pop-up wall in someone's
mind forget about making any progress. A unique facial expression or laughter
is the indicator you've triggered that mechanism.
-
- A buffer zone can simply an empty space. When you drive
down the road and stay on your side of the yellow line, the open space
between your vehicle and oncoming vehicles is also a buffer zone. So is
the space between you and vehicles in front and behind you.
-
- But what about your personal buffer zone? There are two
types of buffer zones all people have the space around their bodies
and the protective space within their mind, almost like a no-man's land.
It's that zone within their mind we are concerned about. Public schools
print a free virtual pass to cross the zone in kindergarten. As a student
moves up through the grades over the next 12 years, the pass is passed
on to the next school. When the student enters college, this invisible
pass across the buffer zone and past the wall is passed on to whatever
college or university someone attends.
-
- Whenever the buffer zone within the mind is breached
in a particular way violence can result. Or the fear/flight response may
be triggered. There is yet another action which can result from breaching
the buffer zone. A hidden sensor detects that a new concept or idea
is incompatible with the current pre-programmed mindset, and triggers the
pop-up wall. When this happens, it blocks all uptake of new information.
This self-protection system prevents new information from entering
the mind. The illustration below shows how this works (in a virtual way.)
-
-
-
-
- A pop-up wall is connected to a hair-trigger mechanism.
It takes some practice to learn how to cross the zone and prevent triggering
themechanism. Access to the mind is almost like breaking into a high security
vault. But once you get past these two obstacles you're on your way to
success. Once the buffer zone is removed and the trigger mechanism disabled,
an individual can remain teachable for a lifetime.
-
- When you're teaching someone concepts and facts which
are far outside their normal paradigm (i.e., working to counter-act brainwashing)
it's always a sensitive matter to breach their buffer zone. This is similar
to a soldier suddenly finding they are in a mine field after the sudden
dismemberment or death of another soldier around him. Now the remaining
soldiers must proceed taking tiny steps, carefully probing ahead of them
for more mines. When you teach someone the many facts and truths they need
to know, you must do so with tiny steps. Crossing their buffer zone is
not much different than crossing a mine field.
-
- A mine field is usually designed to slow down soldiers
and not kill them. If a man is blown apart, there will be no reason to
tie up medics and his body parts will simply be left there. No soldier
will risk injuring or killing them self to retrieve a set of dog tags.
But when a soldier is wounded it greatly slows down others who attend his
injuries which also serves a psychological purpose, too.
-
- A safety zone exists around mines, too. But step on a
mine (or get too close to one with a proximity-fuse) and injury or death
results. Stepping on a virtual mine in someone's buffer zone won't get
you killed, but it can cause that person to be focusing on hostile thoughts
about you instead of the facts your presenting. The more you know
and understand about the person you're teaching, the easier it will be
to avoid stepping on a mine.
-
- With mainstream media brainwashing, the physical buffer
zone is quite large between us and them. You cannot physically reach the
source of the problem. But you can turn off the television, radio, close
the web-page or throw away the newspaper and go find the real facts to
understand a situation.
-
- People who understand the high value of freedom learn
to master crossing buffer zones and not trigger pop-up walls in people's
minds. When they master this, these teachers become the best educators
about freedom on Earth.
-
- One can appreciate freedom and cherish freedom, but screaming
at others about it on radio or television is no different than being
a hell-and-damnation preacher. In the end this negative approach accomplishes
absolutely nothing. All yelling in media or on radio will accomplish is
to trigger thousands of pop-up walls in thousands of minds. But perhaps alienation
to truth is the end goal of using this approach in first place.
