42/ Certain Types of Societies Necessarily Need Censorship of Information
Increasingly often in our environment we encounter the view that inconvenient information, discussions, inconvenient answers to questions, and disinformation should simply be banned from public space.
To understand why this is happening, why pressure from our power structures to censor generally available information or opinions — and, more broadly, to suppress freedom of speech — is growing, we need to understand the essence of the matter: how information directly or indirectly influences our reality.
FOUNDATION
The foundation is to understand how the principle of our reality works — a reality in which our thoughts directly modify our surroundings. What am I getting at? Try lifting a chair. This thought of mine, just conveyed to you, has the potential to change the position of your chair. Physically, part of the energy field changes based solely on the information conveyed. Here I touch on another essence of how reality works. The whole world can be pictured as a sports arena in which the main contest is influence — influencing other consciousnesses. Either you influence, or you are influenced by your surroundings. Sometimes both at once. Those who influence the most are the ones whose influence shapes the current reality in a given space.
Consciousness (the basic library of all information) is shared by all consciousnesses (autonomous units); the only differences between us are the type and capacity of the autonomous unit (plant, animal, human, ...) and, above all, our different position in space — our point of view. Consciousness examines itself, viewing itself from an infinite number of different angles and perspectives, and learns through trial and error and through feedback. The experiences we gain throughout our lives we constantly pass on to the shared library, to our consciousness. Thanks to these experiences, the generations that follow us can then find their way through life more easily, adapt faster, and more easily overcome obstacles that we have already encountered.
GUIDANCE
Consciousness, life, the world — organizes itself. Through the constant influence of one consciousness on another, a third, and so on without end, the current shape of our reality arises. A simple rule applies: more aware consciousnesses influence less aware ones. For example, a more aware person guides a less aware one, who trusts him. This relationship is natural, it is right, because the more aware make fewer mistakes in life and continually lead their kind along the path of progress. This relationship is in harmony with life and ensures stability.
THE ATTEMPT TO GUIDE PEOPLE AGAINST THE CURRENT
Over time, however, even the less aware among us learned to guide others — not only on a direct level, but mainly on an indirect, ideological one. Through their ideologies and narratives, built on the deceptive concept of individualism, they sowed discord and conflict into our consciousness. The unaware acquired a taste for influencing the more aware through force — through power. The murderer began preaching about morality. This is not a natural relationship, and it therefore gives rise to instability in our environment.
CENSORSHIP OF INFORMATION
Naturally, any attempt by a less aware person to influence a more aware one should come to nothing. After all, the more aware person can very easily refute the information — the disinformation — of the less aware one. But since artificial tools of influence such as money or centralized media emerged over time, this natural self-correction is gradually disappearing from life. Censorship is being introduced on information that would correct centralized disinformation (a single truth that is not up for discussion). After all, every piece of disinformation is corrected by information, by truth — not by censorship.
Censorship (the banning of information) serves to defend disinformation, false information, in that it forbids the publication of true information that would refute or negate the disinformation.
FIGHTING WINDMILLS
Fortunately, the world is interconnected, our consciousnesses are interconnected and form a single whole. As long as there exists on Earth a place where information and opinions can spread freely, it will not be possible to impose on life a single, censorship-protected truth; disinformation will continually face the pressure of information. After all, we share thoughts with one another worldwide — if an idea occurs to someone in a free zone of information exchange, that idea will, over time, also reach someone located in a region of strict censorship and disinformation. Therefore, creating censorship only within certain countries — even if it were the entire Western hemisphere — is not one hundred percent effective; it is in fact counterproductive, a quixotic effort that creates a contrast, one that gives people the chance to see more clearly and to wake up faster from the sleep induced by artificial controlling tools.
Hypothetically, if our entire Earth were to fall under the sway of lunatics, of individualists, a censorship so total would be imposed worldwide that none of us would any longer be able to imagine any other form of life than slavery — which we would collectively call democracy. Disinformation would come to control humanity, and people, with no way of ever knowing the truth, would believe it.
Our freedom is what is truly being fought over in the world today. Fortunately, it is a fight against windmills — in the long run, it is not possible to defeat the more aware. The more aware are simply using today's situation, and the hope of fools, to win over the masses.
At present, a mass awakening is taking place among people who live in countries, in societies, that impose strict censorship on the spread of opinions, on free discussion, on freedom of speech — people who live under dictatorial regimes, dictatorial societies, that call themselves democracies.
CONCLUSION
Censorship of information is necessarily needed by countries that are trying to seize power against the natural governance of life. This effort of theirs is temporary and unsustainable in the long run.
Freedom of speech is the foundation of development, the foundation of human progress. The expression of an opinion and the discussion that follows must be protected in every human society; otherwise the degradation of society follows.
However, freedom of speech also has its criminal-law dimension. Sharing an opinion, even a mistaken one, is one thing, but inciting a crime is another. Every expressed thought, every word, has the power to hurt, since it has the power to change reality. Publicly inciting anyone to murder, or to harm, bully, or mock another, must be punished.
