Truth is the only remedy for a society sick of lies. It connects people from soul to soul. As such truth is the real cure for the loneliness and disconnectedness that makes modern human beings so vulnerable to propaganda.
As soon as the group connected through sincere speech is energetically stronger than the propagandised masses, the era of totalitarianism is over.

Propaganda, Sincere Speech, and the Intuition of the Samurai
Here is one of the big questions of our times: What can we believe?
As the space for open-minded conversation and non-conformist opinion shrivels in our society, answering this question gets increasingly difficult. Swarms of “digital first responders” anonymously ridicule and criminalise dissident opinions on social media, machine learning technology identifies and suppresses online narratives that go against the mainstream, search engine algorithms guide people inconspicuously to politically correct answers to all their questions, and so on. The battle for the hearts and minds of the people rages more fiercely than ever – we truly live in the era of propaganda.
And we live in the era of artificial intelligence (“AI”). AI generates chatbots, artificial images, and deep fake videos that can put the innocent in bad daylight and make the guilty go free; it writes master theses for sneaky students and poems for lazy lovers; it creates a “woke” version of history with a radical contempt for facts. Humanity gets lost in a world of manufactured falsehood.
Who will protect society from censorship and falsehood? Journalism maybe?
Walter Lippmann won two Pulitzer Prizes and is considered the father of modern journalism (see Stiles, 2022, p. 28). It is telling that he favoured a technocratic model of journalism in which “experts” must construct narratives about every major news event and subsequently feed them to editors and journalists.
Here is a quote from Lippmann’s book ‘Public Opinion’: “Public opinion must be organised for the press if they are to be sound, not by the press as is the case today.”
This quote says as much as this: Forget the free press. It was written in 1922.
Lippman is said to be the most influential journalist of the 20th century. Ever wondered why media articles around the world all look a bit similar? Now you have an idea why.
The army of fact-checkers claiming to fight “fake news” are part of this problem as well. These “ambassadors of truth” have little to do with truth. A few years after the corona crisis, we know that even better than before. The origin of the virus, the mortality of the virus, the efficacy of the vaccines and the safety of the vaccine – the fact-checkers promoted fake news and fought correct information. It’s clear to everyone who wants to see it: They are a veritable Orwellian Ministry of Truth.
What is truly mind-boggling, however, is that even when “experts” such as Gates and Fauci admit that the vaccine didn’t stop the spreading of the virus, even when the experts of Imperial College admit the mortality rates of the virus were far lower than their models predicted, a major part of the population doesn’t really want to hear it. Never in history is it demonstrated so convincingly that indeed, the most fundamental passion of the human being is not love, not hate, but the passion for ignorance.
Upon closer consideration, the problem of deception in society is far more complex than just a bunch of manipulative propagandists who mislead the guileless population. It seems that most people don’t care too much about being deceived. They even seem to admire those who deceive them. It makes me think about this quote from Hannah Arendt:
“The totalitarian mass leaders based their propaganda on the correct psychological assumption that, under such conditions, one could make people believe the most fantastic statements one day, and trust that if the next day they were given irrefutable proof of their falsehood, they would take refuge in cynicism; instead of deserting the leaders who had lied to them, they would protest that they had known all along that the statement was a lie and would admire the leaders for their superior tactical cleverness.”
And even more: In the final analysis, there is a little propagandist and manipulator in all of us. And it is so skilled, that it succeeds in deceiving ourselves. As a human being, we constantly hide behind what I would call “the veil of appearances.” We constantly hide certain aspects of who we are from others, we constantly try to conform to all kinds of ideal images that circulate in society. And in the end, we believe that we are the illusion we created ourselves – we fall prey to the deceptive nature of our ego.
This applies in the first place to the act of speech. We are censored by others indeed, yet before others censor us, we already censored ourselves. In the end, we speak words of which we don’t realise anymore that they are not our words but just hollow echoes from the matrix of social forms in which our being is absorbed.
Can we find the way out of this labyrinth of deception? Is there such a thing as Truth? And can we find it in this world of falsehood and illusions?
Quite a lot of people have tried to define strategies to deal with the plague of propaganda in our society, (see also Stiles, 2022), yet the problem seems to me that they usually ignore the fundamental complicity of the human ego in the game of deception. And as such, they are by and large ineffective.
Please allow me to summon an archetype which is being banned in our culture – the archetype of the warrior. A warrior always stands with one leg in the land of death. Truth is wandering around in this land. Samurai and ninja culture showed us an interesting relationship between truth on the one hand and intuition on the other. And I believe this relationship is relevant because it comes to finding a solution for the problem of propaganda and totalitarianism.
For the samurai the martial arts boiled down to this: To develop the capacity to discern truth from lie. The movements of the martial arts are linguistic in nature. Sometimes they lie, and sometimes they speak the truth. The sword in the right hand attracts attention – the dagger in the left hand strikes. He who can discern truth from lies survives on the battlefield, he who can’t, dies.
One doesn’t survive on the battlefield by looking with his eyes. Our eyes see a world of appearances; they are easily tricked. What really matters is zanshin, a kind of awareness of the world around you which is not based on ordinary sensory perception. The entire art of the samurai aimed to develop this potential – the sixth sense of the warrior.
Whether or not a student in the martial arts had developed his intuition well enough was tested in samurai culture through the sakki or godan test. The candidate kneels, a grandmaster positions behind him outside of his field of vision. The grandmaster waits for some time and then strikes suddenly, aiming for the neck of the candidate. If the candidate’s intuition is well developed, he will move away at exactly the right moment, if not, he loses his head. Nowadays this test is done using wooden swords (‘boken’) but it used to be done on the razor’s edge. By the way: Akira Kurosawa showed a variant of this test in his timeless cinematographic masterpiece ‘Seven Samurai’.
How did the samurai develop this intuition? The intuition of the warrior is related to the act of speech. Unlike Plato, samurai culture believed that the pen and the sword should be wielded by the same hand. Samurai practised the art of speech. And one of the elementary principles of this art was sincerity (see for instance the principles of Budo according to Saitõ Chikamori).
We can roughly distinguish between two types of speech: speech from the ego and speech from what we might call the soul.
The ego is an imaginary structure, based on identifications with outer ideal images. When we speak from the ego, we do not really articulate what we feel or experience inside. We rather say what we think we have to say to be accepted by others and society. Such speech keeps up appearances. It makes us win something at the level of our ego yet it also comes with a price – we slowly lose touch with the essence of who we are.
And it also makes us lose touch with the world around us. Ego-speech focuses our attention and psychological energy on the outer ideal images, on the surface of our being. It literally makes the psychological “shell” thicker. In this way, we get isolated inside this ego-shell and stop resonating with the world around us. In other words: our zanshin or intuition gets weaker.
What is the alternative to ego-speech? Inside the shell of the ego, there is something which in religious and mystical traditions, and in some intellectual traditions as well, is referred to as the soul. “The soul” seems to be an obsolete concept, yet in many respects, it is a fruitful one. It refers to an inner essence, something that is inside an outer form.
From a psychological point of view, speaking from the soul means to give voice to those things that we truly feel or experience; those things that are usually hidden behind the ideal images. It means saying those things that are not in line with the matrix of social ideal images, dogmas and norms. Such speech makes us vulnerable, it puts us at risk of excommunication and rejection, in particular when we practise it in the presence of people who use the world of appearances as their major stronghold.
Opposite of ego speech, sincere speech makes us lose something in the world of appearances and it makes us win something in the real world. It is a kind of speech that emerges from within and literally penetrates through the outer ideal image we hide behind. It quite literally pierces holes in the ego. And through these holes, a new resonating connection between our essence and that of the world around us can emerge. It is at this level that we can situate the phenomenon of truth.
This might seem abstract, yet it isn’t. Just try it. Share something that makes you feel vulnerable, something you usually hide from the world, with some trustworthy people. You will immediately feel a deeper connection – from soul to soul. You can sense it almost physically. Practice the art of sincere speech day after day, week after week, month after month, try to make progress step by step, and your intuition will improve step by step. It is at this level that we can understand the connection between sincere speech and the intuition of the samurai – sincere speech makes you aware of the world around you beyond ordinary sensory perception.
Sincere speech makes your soul resonate with the world around you – indeed. From a subtle materialistic perspective, for which physicist Erwin Schrödinger laid the foundations in his book ‘What is Life?’ (see Berkovich, 2003 and Van Lommel, 2011, p. 286), we could consider the human body as a vibrating substance, which resonates with the frequencies of the world around it. And through the vocal apparatus, the human being can creatively return the music to the universe with a singular touch.
The samurai was very well aware of exactly this: what kills you on the battlefield, ultimately, is not so much the sword or arrow of your enemy, it is your own ego. And what makes you powerless against propaganda, is not so much the propaganda itself, it is your ego. It makes you incapable of discerning between truth and deception and it makes your voice hollow and weak and incapable of creating the connection with others that is necessary to make propaganda powerless.
Truth is the only remedy for a society sick of lies. It connects people from soul to soul, as strings vibrating on the same frequency. And as such it is the real cure for the loneliness and disconnectedness that makes modern human beings so vulnerable to propaganda (see Jacques Ellul’s concept of the lonely mass).
As I said before, as soon as the group connected through sincere speech is energetically stronger than the propagandised masses, the era of totalitarianism is over. Not sooner, not later. In this respect, the only way to contribute to the solution of the big crisis of our society is to face our shadow and overcome our own individual crisis and trauma, which means to transcend our ego through sincere speech.

This complements the practice of Zen.
Unlike John 14:6!
100% What truth, your truth, his truth, my truth …NO, only God’s truth is pure!
Zen practice is a neutral mind tool in this material world that purges the illusions of this world and thus removes obstructions on our way home through Yahshua. Any religious associations like Zen-Buddhism must be flawed, for the act links the practice to the material world and man made religion of belief and faith from our human, flawed condition.
Yahshua calls on us to give of our self with no return. (How many can do that?)
Unlike the Roman church that trades in material exchanges, idolatry, and tickets. Yahshua fills those of his kin with an intense knowing of the way.
Religion is like a kata in marshal / samurai arts. We practise the moves until muscle memory takes over, thus the human intuition condition flows with pure material energy and faith is the same, for it is still in the realm of human material conflict and corruption.
With John 14:6, clearly there is internal/mind conflict and the final transition from faith to a simple, all powerful, all knowing condition is in the making but not quite complete. Just my two penny worth. All the best.
Definitely with you on this friend, John 14:6 says it all. The truth is simple and pure, not this airy fairy gnostic nonsense the Filth try to force on us.
And no, Amazon didn’t do their stuff, despite having a pretty local depot, had to reschedule deliveries for tomorrow. Pretty peed off.

This is just a tiny part of the sort of thing that gave Mann moral injury.

Mattias should expand this to include moral injury.

Are these the principles of the Samurai, or some other warriors? – “We will drop 2,000-pound bunker buster bombs on your tent encampments. We will spray you with bullets from our machine-gun-equipped drones. We will pound you with artillery and tank shells. We will shoot you down with snipers. We will decimate your tents, your refugee camps, your cities and towns, your homes, your schools, your hospitals and your water purification plants. We will rain death from the sky.
Run for your lives. Again and again and again. Pack up the pathetic few belongings you have left. Blankets. A couple of pots. Some clothes. We don’t care how exhausted you are, how hungry you are, how terrified you are, how sick you are, how old, or how young you are. Run. Run. Run.
We kill children by the thousands. We kill women and the elderly by the thousands. The sick and injured, without medicine and hospitals, die. We poison the water. We cut off the food.
We created this hell. We are the masters. Law. Duty. A code of conduct. They do not exist for us.
We humiliate you. We terrorize you. We revel in your fear. We are amused by your pathetic attempts to survive. You are not human. You are creatures. Untermensch. We feed our libido dominandi – our lust for domination. Look at our posts on social media. They have gone viral. One shows soldiers grinning in a Palestinian home with the owners tied up and blindfolded in the background. We loot. Rugs. Cosmetics. Motorbikes. Jewelry. Watches. Cash. Gold. Antiquities. We laugh at your misery. We cheer your death. We celebrate our religion, our nation, our identity, our superiority, by negating and erasing yours.
Back in Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, Haifa we are dish washers and mechanics. Factory workers, tax collectors and taxi drivers. Garbage collectors and office workers. But in Gaza we are demigods. We can kill a Palestinian who does not strip to his underwear, fall to his knees, beg for mercy with his hands bound behind his back. We can do this to children as young as 12 and men as old as 70.
There are no legal constraints. There is no moral code.
We place “booby-trapped” cans resembling food tins in the rubble. Starving Palestinians are injured or killed when they open them. We broadcast the sounds of women screaming and babies crying from quadcopters to lure Palestinians out so we can shoot them. We announce food distribution points and use artillery and snipers to carry out massacres.

Thank you so much for your article, I’d say that you’ve hit the bull’s eye.
It expands on and it pulls in the wittings and teachings of Richard Rohr & Eckhart Tolle.
We have lost our way and society continues to set up road blocks :
when we’re to smart to get involved with the dude who told us ” the truth will set you free “.
or listen to the one who offers gifts, the first being “fear of God”
these simple things can be a first step in noticing our ego, that it sometimes gets in the way of our growth, awareness and fullness of life.

They swindled their own people in England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales
into first indentured servitude and next into abject slavery, did the
same thing in The United States, and then throughout the former
Commonwealth, then used their ill-gotten gains to finance World War
II, occupied Japan and seventeen western European countries, took over
and occupied countries in Africa, and aimed to do the same in the
Middle East and Asia.
They used our sons and daughters as cheap mercenaries and of course,
never told them that that is what they’d be doing and serving; no,
they sang Yankee Doodle all the way to guarding poppy fields in
Afghanistan and stealing oil in Iraq.
This said, the problem began in England under the reign of Queen
Victoria and her Consort, Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha; they
were both Germans, and when they married in 1840, the Royal Finances
came under the management of German financiers— firmly tying Royal
Family fortunes to Continental European business interests. Not
British.
This has remained the central core problem ever since, and it has
festered already into two World Wars and is threatening to erupt into
a third such travesty.
https://annavonreitz.com/notrocketscience.pdf
We see tonight that instead of accepting the inevitable reckoning that is due for their financial crime, the usual Suspects are “at it”
again, rattling sabers and moving troops— mercenary troops— and making plans to start World War III against both China and Russia.
And they plan to charge the cost of this in blood and in assets and credit to you.
Yes, these people claiming to be your “representatives” are planning to charge you for the “service” of starting World War III, so they can
make money on war-for-profit and keep your attention focused away from
their financial crimes against you.
They have done it twice before.
World War I covered the phony bankruptcy of the Scottish Commercial
Corporation doing business as “The United States of America,
Incorporated”.
World War II covered the phony bankruptcies of the Delaware
Corporation doing business as “the United States of America,
Incorporated” and “E Pluribus Unum the United States of America” and
half a dozen others.
They think you are all stupid enough to fall for it a third time. They
think that their joint corporate bankruptcies can be shoved under the
rug and the American people will just take it in the crotch a third
time.
Their propaganda mills are already ginned up and running in Britain
and in Germany, but remember— those “governments” are actually just
franchises of the U.S. Inc. and also remember that those countries
are occupied by unwitting mercenaries employed by the U.S., Inc.

Sadly this is what happens to those who speak truth – “Slovakia’s Populist Prime Minister Robert Fico Has Been Shot”.

In this year of elections, remember, it is the criminals you now elect, who will come into power to rule over you and destroy your lives, they will also destroy all your rights, your freedoms and your countries too.
It is guaranteed that once in power they will use violence against their own people and in fact against anyone or any nation who disagrees with them.
This is your so-called Democratic representation in action.
Biden, Trump, Macron, Trudeau, Schultz, Sunak, Johnson, Stoltenberg, Van Der Ley, Cameron.
Did you think they would suddenly become nonviolent, benign caring leaders?
Your jailers will change, but the jail remains the same.
What difference does it make to the prisoner who the jailer is?
Their whole mind is full of violence, and that violence, cunning, lies and cruelty has been their success.
Also, the people who have come into power through violence are bound to be violent against each other, because there will always be, within their party, the struggle for power.
Violence has been the way of life for millennia.
Directly or indirectly we have lived under violence.
Our armies, our police, our jails, our judges, our wars, our so-called great religions, all have lived in violence.
And violence, reduced to its essentials, is irreverent towards life.
Violence is not only killing people.
Violence is an attitude, an approach.
Violence leads to more violence, there is no end to it, just as one lie leads to another lie and there is no end to it.
This is one of the indications of evil.
One evil always leads to another evil, then another evil, and you are caught in a vicious circle.
If you don’t create another evil your first evil will be exposed.
Just to keep it hidden you have to go on continually creating more clouds of evil around it.
Violence is man’s inheritance of millions of years, it needs tremendous work to change it.
People are political animals.
Violence is also within you.
Everybody is carrying an unconscious inferiority complex in themselves.
And that is the most dangerous thing to carry within you.
It hurts, and one wants to get rid of it.
The only way to get rid of it is to prove to the whole world that you are not inferior.
The inferiority complex leads people into politics, makes people presidents, tyrants, prime ministers.
The inferiority complex leads people into all kinds of ambitions and crimes.
Unless humanity is completely freed from this complex, we cannot have a peaceful world.
Break the cycle!
Ultimately in yourself..
Never elect unconscious criminals into positions of power.
Power brings out the worst that is in people.
Don’t be in the service of death.
Everybody carries that power to do evil, the will, the seed, but the opportunity is not there, it is only a potential.
Becoming political is when power really comes into your hands, then all of your hidden devils start raising their heads and asking you, “Now is the time, do it, otherwise who knows whether next time you will get the power or not.”
Power has its own ways to destroy you.
Remember, revolution is an organized effort to change the society forcibly, violently.
But the trouble is, you cannot change the society through violence, because it is violence that is the very life current of the society.
That’s why all the revolutions have failed.
And there is no possibility of any revolution succeeding ever.
Revolution is a collective effort to overthrow the government.
Revolution is fighting with the past.
The old society depends on violence, the revolutionaries depend on violence.
The old society depends on enslaving people, the revolutionaries depend on the same.
The old society depends on beliefs, revolutionaries also depend on belief.
It makes no difference whether your belief is in The Bible or in Das Kapital.
If the revolutionaries are going to win they have to be more violent than the old society, more cunning, more clever, more political, more cruel, otherwise they cannot win..
Rebellion has never been tried.
Rebellion is individual.
Rebellion is meditating for the future.
It overthrows nobody, it simply dissolves the individual’s hypocrisy.
The rebel drops their facade.
They are not against any regime, against any society.
They are not bothered by all that nonsense.
Those who are interested in that, let them do their work.
The rebel is simply very self-oriented.
Drop all the rubbish that is in you.
Clean yourself and start living.
Be yourself and live intensely at the innermost core of your being.
That’s what rebellion is.
Let things be as they are.
You are a being.
Know yourself.
Transform yourself.
Be: No Mind.
And we need it very urgently, because if we cannot manage to have people who are contented with themselves, happy with themselves, relaxed with themselves, with no grudge, no complaint against the world, then the third world war is just on the horizon.
Any stupid politician, to prove themselves can start the third world war, trigger nuclear annihilation and soon they are going to do it.
It is becoming more and more urgent that we create people who have no inferiority complex, people who have a certain serenity, silence; people who have a deep contentment within themselves, people who are no longer political, ambitious and violent.
We need a non-ambitious humanity; only then can the clouds of death that are looming on the horizon be avoided.
