Would it surprise you that most of what I teach lays the ground for a solid defense against mind control? Mind control is a weapon revealed to humans by the fallen angels. In that sense, we can call it "satanic" as long as you don't take that literally. It's consistent with the Devil's plans, but it was first a tool he used in the Garden, and he keeps using it through various minions.
The primary defense is not what's in your head, but what's in your heart. If you are in the grip of your convictions, you are most likely to shed any form of manipulation. If you can collate what we've discussed in the past few posts, you realize that your emotions will get you in trouble quicker than anything else. A cool and utterly rational mind is not humanly possible, regardless of how high your IQ might be. That's not the answer. Logic can be manipulated because it cannot calculate any kind of end goal with referring to the emotions. Logic has no values. Logic cannot trump emotions; logic rests on them for motivation, conscious or otherwise. And emotions can be manipulated. That's the whole point: If you live in your head, you are vulnerable to mind control. If you live in your heart, you are far less vulnerable.
Further, my references to Phenomenology are another layer of defense. No one can really know the facts or reality. One man's reality is another man's madness, and there is nothing we can refer to that judges who is right. It doesn't matter what's real and factual, but what's right in God's eyes. And you can know that only for yourself. When dealing with other people, the only thing you can hope for is consensus about what matters, not what's real or true.
If you stoop to using manipulation, then everything comes apart morally. Democracy itself is a lie. God's creation is inherently feudal, so take charge of your domain and leave the rest alone. People who depend on you must consciously know they are coming under your covering. Every moment of every day, they have the option of leaving your covering. A critical part of your duty is to explain honestly as much as you can.
There is virtually nothing in this world humans can get right. The world is going to Hell, and that's the reality you need to see. We are very fortunate the our Father does so much powerful work within our covenant communities; outside the Covenant is unmitigated doom. So, we never try to get involved in human politics and social mechanisms outside of the Covenant. Inside the Covenant, we start with feudalism, and we spit on democracy as a lie from Hell.
As long as you don't try to get involved in solving human problems at large, you can avoid becoming a target of most mind control efforts. We should be staying out of their line of sight as much as possible. The only time we get involved at all is to denounce sins they propose to enforce on everyone. Our position is that there are some things we simply will not do. But we are under no obligation to cite reasons that they can inspect. Don't debate the particulars, especially about the religion part. We simply point to our commitment to a higher power; our God will not permit us to participate in evil.
It requires some talent to recognize propaganda for what it is. The covenant community should pray that God will provide a prophet who can recognize the nature of various political and social threats and how to prepare specifically. A lot of the noise is meant to manipulate, to give you one impression or another so that you can be herded. If you are solidly grounded in faith, you are ready to die for Christ, so you don't fear what mere men can do.
A major element in all of this is learning not to trust anyone outside of your covenant community. And for those within, you give only a provisional trust because humans will never hold identical convictions. Trust God; give His people room to operate, but always maintain a little cynicism. Never trust anyone who isn't a covenant brother/sister.
This means that, if you attend an organized church, or you must for some reason deal with church folks within their organization, then you carry around the certainty that it's more of a social club than a spiritual body. The way churches are organized and how they operate is guaranteed to be outside the Covenant. No covenant body would ever seek government approval for tax exemption, for example. We don't hate government, but we should never forget that government hates our Lord's teachings about a radical commitment of faith.
Churches use mind control. The leadership never thinks of it that way; to them it's just a matter of taking advantage of human nature to make certain things happen. The leadership themselves are under a measure of mind control, in turn. They are convinced that what churches do is necessary and right.
Don't fully trust any human on an emotional level. The one person you should be able to trust most is your spouse, and even that can be risky these days. The madness of feminism perverts both genders to the point we are all defiled and alien to what God intended for us. Seek a working model of conditional trust, something that allows you to remain somewhat disconnected until the other person has proven beyond all doubt their loyalty is a mirror of Christ's love for us. Don't get so emotionally invested that you surrender control at those critical moments. Our Enemy will use those closest to us more than any other weapon. Always be prepared for everyone to fail once in a while, especially at the worst possible moment, including the person in the mirror.
Always trust Christ. Trust you convictions because they reflect His character and nature in your life. It's not as if we could cut off everyone who fails us; Christ doesn't do that. Be prepared to take some losses. Consider prayerfully what you can afford to lose and face it with aplomb.
If you expect mind control as a routine feature of our American life, you should never be caught off guard. Keep the definition clear: mind control means surrendering your self-control to any outside force. Even if only internally, always balk at what someone does to control your behavior. You are a servant of God and no human is your master, even if you are supposed to be playing that role. Play along until it crosses your convictions. It's not a question of being in control of the situation, but in control of yourself within the situation.
