Are Humans Merely Sophisticated Programmed Robots?

Interesting indeed.

I guess on some level then - even that article could be considered a form of Programming?

This is an interesting topic anyway, and I have been considering it myself recently (more synchronicities: a question for you on that in a min Lyra).  On the trip taking my wife into work each morning, it is interesting to watch all the many many cars going in each direction.  Masses of people all leaving at set times to arrive at another place at a set time - in order to carry out set tasks.  When you visualise this on a country wide scale, it truly becomes phenomenal to consider.  Millions of people all getting up and moving about is pre-programmed ways in order to perform pre-programmed actions, based on pre-programmed beliefs.

Now imagine this.  A message appears in the sky; or maybe the media suddenly decides to revolt, or perhaps everyone has a mass dream containing a single message - whatever the method it occurs - suddenly people are awoken to the concept that we are controlled.  That the systems put in place around us have been placed there over hundreds or thousands of years in order to keep us performing certain activities which benefit and feed the elite and other hidden (higher?) powers.  Suddenly on mass - everyone is aware of this knowledge.

What do be the result?  I think maybe a little chaos.  Maybe a few thousand people running rampant through the streets doing all sorts of strange things.  But ultimately?  Well I am coming to the belief that humanities programming is so strong, that if we were collectively given this knowledge.  After a brief stint of shock and awe...people would just revert back to their programming and carry on regardless.

About a month ago - we had real bad snow in this area of the UK.  Many people were snowed in, unable to do any real serious task.  So what did people do?  Well they carried on with their programming - they made absolutely every effort to get into work.  Regardless of the fact that the TV and Radio was repeatedly stating "The Police have said - 'Do not make any journeys unless you seriously have to.  If you are on your way to work, turn around and return home.'"

The majority of people ignored this.  And struggled on with their routines.  Many people I personally know - once in work, and then unable to get back home - only at that point began to consider the repercussions.  But then even still made the same mistake the following day.

Programming with this sort of strength (whilst maybe slightly amusing to watch) really is quite frightening.

So - I really believe that even if Christ returned (or aliens arrived) and told us of the "truth" and that our ways are mad and need fixing.  On the short to medium term people would just ignore it and carry on regardless.  Maybe there is a longer term solution - but really the programming is so deeply entrenched now...it would take more or less a true miracle to fix things.

Oh and that little question for you now Lyra:  Do you now believe that all synchronicities are created by the controllers?  That seems a little too black and white - but maybe I am missing something from your posts.  (And yep I read your ant farm dream post).  Really interested in your thoughts on this...

No, I never said that I now believed that.   I just relayed one of the more interesting "dreams" that I had, in the tradition of the "Dreams" thread where we all share our stuff.   But I never said nor tried to imply that I now adhere to some new black and white view........nor that I'm trying to push it on Noble Realmers and get them to buy into it.  But if you're interested in my take on it, I do believe that there is truth to that dream, and that many synchs are generated by unseen forces that most people are unaware of.    Many are from positive sources though as well, in my opinion.   That's why it's a good idea to just pay attention in general with open eyes and to constantly analyze and assess situations that come up.

Many here will remember that I'm always advocating to "Start a log book!!!"   Start a journal log book, any style that you prefer, where you keep track of the weird stuff that happens to you.  Number sightings, ear ringings, de ja vus, synchronicities and anomlous happenings, even your dreams, whatever you feel is worthy of keeping track of.   This way, you can go back, comb through stuff, and figure out what's what.  What stuff may have been generated by something higher and positive?  What stuff may have been the "negative controllers" ? (for lack of a better term....)   The only way to tell is to log it all for later analysis.    Only after the fact, in the context of what surrounded that synchronicity, can you tell what's what.

Add me to that group as well.        The "poor messageboard communicator" group.   Maybe I could be the president!   hehe  It's funny because I realize that my posts sound nothing like I do in person.  I probably come across as all gung ho and aggressive in my posts when in real life I'm seriously the absolute most opposite of that.  I'm the quiet one in the corner not saying much, just observing, only reluctantly sharing my opinion, and only when asked.  At work I just want to get along with everybody, and here it probably seems like I'm this big battler.   It's weird.  Messageboards have their pros and their cons for communicating and sharing info. I guess.  So no worries.  I didn't take your post that way anyway.   I've seen far worse, trust me!   

The thing about my log book idea for tracking and understanding synchs is that even if we log stuff, we're still never going to fully understand the nature of *how* the synchs occurred.  At best we'll maybe figure out the source, and the intended meaning.  But that third aspect of how it all came together will always be over our heads, since we're limited to our 3rd density perspectives.  But I still say, go for it!   2 out of 3 ain't bad!   

Getting back to the article that Auendove posted, I was able to finish it up this morning.  Much of it is stuff that I've actually worried about.   That whole thing about how much are we really in control of ourselves???    Over the past few years I've begun thinking about humanity in terms of video game characters.   Many gamers here are familiar with those online games where hundreds of people sign up and everybody "plays their character", and the characters you interact with in the game are being played by people in their homes.  I've never played these games, but a buddy back in California was addicted to these games...still is, I think.    But that's how I learned about them.   From time to time in life I get my "Mario Brothers" video game dreams, where I'm playing Mario Brothers (it looks a little different though from the real Mario Brothers...) and the game goes from being on a 2 dimensional TV screen to being 3 dimensional....................and out of the TV. It becomes "real", and is in the room with me, and I'm following Mario around the room holding my controller, getting him to run and jump over stuff in the room, do this, or do that.  A few times I "reprogrammed" the game to make it more difficult, add more obstacles, because "it wasn't challenging enough."

See the symbolic meaning here?      Really makes me wonder when I have those dreams.   

So is everything we do just a programmed response??   I realize that in terms of "freewill" there are certain things it seems that we cannot do.  It's not allowed.   All the rest....sure, go ahead.    For the stuff we can do, every possibility has been played out, every timeline exists for it.   We choose, moment by moment, which timeline we're going to jump onto, which one we're going to put in the spotlight.   But in the end I guess the choice has already been made.  The scenario has already played itself out. 

And maybe that's another explanation for synchronicity?   Being that everything has already happened, maybe when we jump onto a new timeline we see "marker points" or something for that timeline, in the form of number sightings, synchs, etc. ?    I don't know, I'm still trying to figure this all out, and I'm thinking outloud as I type. 

This is a brain work out! 

Thanks

Well thinking on the "cause" for these things, I wonder firstly if the cause really matters - perhaps it is merely good enough to be able to identify the good from the bad from the neutral.  And secondly - maybe looking for a cause, is just like looking for a cause to life, or to thought, or to the universe.  I sometimes ponder that one of the small goals of our existence is learning simply to accept what "is".

I know the games you mention.  I play them myself at times.  The experience can be realistic indeed - but in the end there is something missing from all the multitude of interactions.  True deep personal actions; to a certain degree there is a lack of "soul".  Those games truly are about programmed responses.  I have considered both metaphorically and to some extent literally of some higher being sitting at a desk controlling me.  That doesn't ring right with me though...it's not the issue of freewill that bothers me, rather the implications of a lack of spirituality.

In the end this leads me into regularly considering this.  We continually seek for reasons and causes.  But reasons and causes are human concepts; they are an aspect of the programmed mind - a basis of our perspective.  I cannot sit here and categorically state the entirety of reality and existence is founded upon reason and cause – because to do so, implies that reality functions according to human belief systems (i.e. cause and effect).

If I try and fit reality into reasoning I find I end up going in circles rarely going forward until inspiration or revelation finally arrives from one place or another.  However if I simple accept something for what it is, I find it far easier to move beyond that moment and issue…which quickly yields the same knowledge as I would otherwise have to wait or hope for in those rare moments of revelation.

So Programmed Humans.  Yeah I totally accept that as a reality – I just feel the programming goes much much deeper than even the most open minded tend to realise.  And yes, there are probably many hidden deceptions factoring into this.

Read this article yesterday on Stanfords website...and thought to myself..."hey dont get too cocky..just because your aware doesn't mean your not controlled too".  Its funny because recently Ive been dealing with Electronic Harassment with the Microwaves and all...(Its huuuge in Toronto) and then I go and read this article.  The whole "F" word angle does make sense to me...and the right after I read the article I swore because the phone wouldn't stop ringing...lol....oh well......
