Beliefs have serious consequences in reality
Our minds are like computers and a belief is a code which runs in our mind and manifests in our behaviour daily
Therefore, this makes it possible to distill and retrace core codes of beliefs from the external manifested phenomenons by society itself.
In other words, based on manifested social patterns, we can trace back step by step why these social patterns occur and eventually reach to the core belief systems in place which cause these behaviours
When these tracings are done and the codes of beliefs revealed and singled out, then choice would then have to be made to either continue in them or make changes.
This method of finding core causality based on outwards manifestations of behaviour is very similar to how a doctor makes medical diagnosis for diseases based on the sign and symptoms of the health issue.
By using diagnostic tools and lab testing, layer by layer we can peel back this complexity and narrow down the list of possibilities till we reach the core issues which cause the disease
Once done, we need to strategise effective therapies to hammer the thing nicely so the patient can heal and live =D
And this is what we aim to do today for society
First we shall begin with a series of stories
Then we can start shaving down the fluff and get down to the core codes at hand that needs to be addressed
story 1 : a charity meeting
Adam joins a charity team meeting. They are preparing to help some people who are in need in another country.
So the senior leader of the meeting, told them not to give their phone numbers to the people there, and then left. No reason was given as to why this is so.
After the senior leader left, the junior leader took over and they began to discuss plans about how to go about the outreach activity
Adam thought about bringing his name card along and told the team, thinking he can keep in touch with the people they want to help there and maybe have a chance to share to them about how they can self sustain by starting their own business.
To Adam’s surprise he was strongly reprimanded by almost everyone in the team !
Their conversation went something like this
Junior Leader : Adam, Senior Leader said we cannot give our phone number to the people there !
Adam : Erm … but its my name card where I have my website address, maybe if I remove my number …
Junior Leader : No ! You cannot bring your name card. If you want to be part of our team then you need to learn to obey instruction.
Adam : But why ? Why can’t we give our phone number to the people there ?
Team member 1 : Adam, you need to submit to authority !
Team member 2 : Yeah Adam, you need to stop being stubborn !
Team member 3 : Adam, just obey, I am very tired after work, I need to go back to rest, you are wasting time !
Team member 4, 5, 6 – Looks at Adam with peer pressuring gaze
Junior Leader : Adam, you need to submit to authority. If you want to go along with our organisation then you need to do as we tell you. Because you represent this organisation when you are there.
Adam : I just dont understand why this is such a big deal. Can I at least know the reason why this is so ?
Junior Leader : Senior Leader has his/her own reasons, ok now lets move on ( The meeting continues )
Later on, they found out that the senior leader is only recommending not to exchange contact details because the last time some of the people there used the contact exchanged to ask for money from the team members
The senior leader was not so harsh or strict with the phone number requirement
Unlike the enforcers below the senior leader, whose behaviour is shown during the meeting
story 2 : video shoot rush
( Bob gives Adam an unexpected phone call on a weekend )
Bob : Hey Adam, I need your help to come volunteer with me now to make to make an emergency video of Senior Head Leader. We need to shoot this video today at 5 pm !
Adam : Huh ? What ??? You are kidding ! Now is already 4.15 pm and travelling to that location would take 50 minutes ! And I have not readied my equipment !
Why does the video team always do things last minute ???!
Bob : Senior Head Leader must have suddenly an emergency reason for this video ! Maybe God spoke to him !
Adam : Oh really
They went to the shooting place and prepped then shot the video
Turns out the video is just a birthday video for one of the organisation’s branch overseas
story 3 : housemanship
Before this when I was a houseman, I was learning many things at the hospital I was posted at
I brought along an iPod with me to take notes whenever I could
This was back in 2010, when technology was not as widespread today
There was an old professor specialist from India whom a lot of housemen were intimidated by, maybe due to his outspoken nature and British accent ( I think )
During one lecture, one of my senior houseman saw me taking notes with my iPod
He told me : If the professor see you with this iPod he will take it and throw it away !
I in my mind I was like : wow … what kind of abusive environment is this ?
Needless to say, after that day I stopped taking notes with my iPod for the remainder duration of my housemanship
The professor himself ; I think me and him we got along just fine, he seems to be an ok guy I quite like him. I didn’t check with him if he is ok with me using technology to take notes or not though.
Fast forward today, they even are talking about using automation to replace doctors
story 4 : oranges
Once upon a time, there is a bridge
At the bridge there is a law which states
From all who receives more than 300 oranges across this bridge per donkey, we will take 20 oranges for our keeping
Knowing that, James ordered 1000 oranges from a seller on the other side and asked for them to send the oranges across to him upon the backs of 4 donkeys, so this makes
Donkey A : 250 Oranges
Donkey B : 250 Oranges
Donkey C : 250 Oranges
Donkey D : 250 Oranges
Despite of this, the bridge keeper stops all 4 donkeys and demands 67 oranges in order to release the remaining 933 oranges
This is clearly against the stated law above, hence
A long debate ensued, the bridge keeper checked with his colleagues, they even pored over the law of the land about oranges for hours and hours until,
The Bridge Keeper says : According to the law you are right, we have no right to your oranges.
But we have another law which says that I have the power to take from you as I see fit, in fact my colleagues ask me to use this power on you and not waste time in this discussion at all !
And besides, as you know Im the top guy here, if I follow the law and not take from you, how would I look in front of my mates ?
They may even suspect that I am taking a bribe from you to release your oranges !
Therefore, I must take these 67 oranges from you to secure my position !
James : If thats the case, why bother with the law which states the exemption for 300 oranges per donkey in the first place ?
The Bridge Keeper : I dont know, we must ask the person who made the law one day
Hence, James lost 67 oranges in this ordeal despite the law which clearly exempts him from this treatment
story 5 : the barn
Drawing From Leo Tolstoy’s book, the Kingdom of God is within https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/43409
( Paraphrased due to Russian to English translation & lack of Context, the full context of the story can be found in the link above )
Leo : I was told of an incident which happened to an intrepid Stanovoy ( A Government Official ), who, on arriving in a village where the peasants had revolted, undertook, like the Emperor Nicholas I, to quell the disturbance by his personal influence.
He ordered several loads of rods to be brought, and having gathered all the peasants into the barn, he entered himself, shut himself in with them, and so terrified them by his shouts and threats that in compliance with his commands they began to flog each other.
And so they went on flogging one another until the village fool revolted, and, shouting to his fellow villages, asking them to stop flogging one another !
It was not until then that the flogging ceased, and the Stanovoy escaped from the barn.
p/s : Village fool = The person the whole village agrees has the lowest intelligence / IQ in the village
story 6 : soldiering
In manufacturing there is a process called, the assembly line. This process can also be integrated into all sorts of different aspects of our lives.
This compartmentalisation process, breaks down a big task into small easy to do parts.
Sometimes the people involved within this processes are unaware of the bigger picture so they are just doing their little bit and maybe they dont see what’s really going on.
Although some people do know whats going on but participate in it with their own personal agendas in mind
Information transcribed from the video above by Ben Griffin ( Ex – SAS Soldier of the UK )
If we want to think about this process we can think about it back in the second world war
People often say the Germans, a civilised people , industrial people, educated people
Why ? How did they carry out the genocide ?
Why did no one say : I think we should stop this ?
If we break the genocide down and look at it from a perspective of compartmentalisation
1 ) Maybe a french policemen and goes into a french jew’s house and drags that jewish family out and puts them on a truck, job done
2 ) Maybe a french man then drives the jews to the railway. takes the jews off the truck puts them on the railway, job done
3 ) Maybe then a french train driver drives them to the german border, either takes them off the train of change driver
4 ) German driver takes them across Germany
5 ) Polish driver takes them to the concentration camp, when they are there someone takes the jews off the train
6 ) Someone holsters them into the camp , another persons shaved their head, takes their clothes away, give them the stripy pyjamas
7 ) Another person then guards over them, while they are worked on very little food very little sleep terrible conditions until they become emaciated and maybe infested with lice and dirty with smell
8 ) By the time at the end of this process, they are marched to the gas chamber or maybe to some pit to be executed
The person who carries out the execution is not seeing the family in their house in Paris
They are seeing something completely different, something thats been dehumanised stripped of its humanity
And it is very easy for them or easier for them to carry out that final act !
And everyone involved in that process can rationalise what they did !
One will say : All i did was drive the train
Another : All i did was shave their head
Another : All i did was give them pyjamas
also people can claim that they had no part of the entire process
Saying : I didn’t know they are being taken to the concentration camp
And so a whole society , a whole group of people can deny responsibility for something that they are all involved in
I am a firm believer that if its the responsibility of one single group of people to take the jews all the way from France to watch them maybe 6 months , a year, two years and then pull the trigger or put them into the gas chamber,
They wouldn’t be able to do it
It will be impossible !
However by breaking up the process into small parts, it becomes possible
That is what the state does on a daily basis
So what was the process that we had in Iraq ?
1 ) The start of the process first we would pay for intelligence : MI6
Hes makes it known to the local population that if they provide intelligence on insurgents , people who are involved in trying to forcefully evict the occupation
Saying : I will give you money if you tell me the names and addresses of these people
In Iraq at that time 2005 , high levels of unemployment , goods are scarce, prices are high
If someone is offering you 200 – 400 dollars for some information , if you know some information you might hand it over
Even if you dont know some information you might make it up, who cares , I get my 400 bucks
Maybe you tell a story about a neighbour you had an issue with for years and years and years
Or maybe you tell s story about the person from a different religious sects
Or a person who beat you up once or slighted your family , doesn’t really matter
Maybe you really do know an insurgent and you give them their name and address
So thats the first part fo the process , we take the intelligence in
2 ) That intelligence , name and address , maybe a photo is handed over to the surveillance team
Now if you are on a surveillance team, someone from MI6 gives you a piece of information, piece of intelligence
You gonna trust them right ?
They are our guys, their with us, why would i not trust them ?
Why would they lie to me ?
Doesn’t even come into your head
You will be thinking great, we got someone else !
The surveillance team spends time circling the house, watching these people
Now if you been told by someone you trust that you are going to watch a dangerous terrorist
Everything they do becomes suspicious
So, “dangerous terrorist” goes out to his back garden , starts digging
You’re not thinking potatoes , your thinking weapons
“Dangerous terrorist” takes a bag out, puts it in his boot and drives somewhere else and hands over the bag
Your not thinking shopping or maybe a tool that someone needed
Your thinkingg thats a weapons and this is part of a bigger terrrorist network
And over a period of time you time you watch people going about their day to day business , with this suspicious state of mind
And you build up a big picture whats going on
Who their friends are, the building they live in where they sleep
And after a period of time you think your a big picture of what really going on and you hand that information over to the next team
Which is the team i was involved in
3 ) The kill or capture team
We will be given in a room like this a big briefing, maps , air photography , pictures , names
And we’d be told you need to go and detain this person
Now people often say when you are in special forces you get to do what you want, that you get to think for yourself
Well you do get to think for yourself : they tell you who you gonna arrest or who you gonna attack and you get to decide how to do it
but where is never any question about who you gonna attack or who you arrest
So there is a certain amount of free deployment
We would sneak out into the night , maybe in jeeps or helicopters depending on where were going
And sneak up unto this persons house
And i just want you to try and imagine being inside that house
Try and imagine being asleep inside the house, midnight , 1am in the morning , its dark , its quiet
Everyone is asleep in the house , maybe your sons and daughters are in the next room
Whatever the family situation is
And the first inkling you get that we are coming to get you if your front door or front wall is smashed to bits by an explosion
We will sneak to your house , lay a huge amount of explosives on your front door or a wall
Bang it off , the house is still dark , there was huge explosion rocked through your house
Your ears are ringing , there’s dust everywhere, its still dark
Your thinking what is going on
Your terrified
Before you even got time to think what just happened
You can hear men in your house
Twenty men , you can hear them downstairs , they are kicking the doors in
They are coming up the stairs , they have kicked your door in
They have got you
You have been held at gun point , dragged out your bed
All the men were taken into one room, all the women and children taken into another room, all held at gun point
You can hear the men of the house being interrogated, maybe slapped around a bit, shouted at in a foreign language that you dont understand
Whilst this process was going on, my job was to round the houses with a big postal sack , ransack the house and take anything thats of value
Mobile phones bank statements ,passports , money , computers
Anything of any intelligence value but also just so happen to be anything of any value to that family
This might take 20 minutes , this wasn’t a careful search
This was just turning the whole house upside down
After 20 minutes we be finished we’d have maybe 2 big sacks full of these people’s possessions
Go back down into the hallway and the men will be lined up ready to go
Maybe a hood over their heads , ear defenders so they can’t hear, maybe some blacked out goggles if they weren’t wearing the hoods
And their hands tied together with a plastic cable tie
And then we were gone
Out we will go through the hole in the wall or the hole where the front door used to be
Bundle this people unto a helicopter or a jeep along with all their possessions back to our base
We will leave that family without any males and without any of their valuable possessions
Those men will then be taken back to our base where we will stand them against the wall and hand them over to the next team
We will then go off and get some breakfast, that was our part that was our role done
4 ) These men will then be interrogated further, and their “intelligence value” will be assessed
Is this person really an insurgent ? is he just some sort of a minor player ? or is he just a civilian ?
And dependent on what intelligence value is rated as they will be sent to another prison
If they are lucky they might will be sent to one of the big prisons full of people
If they unlucky they will be sent to one of the black sites, secret prisons where torture wasn’t a random thing
It was part of the process
One of the prisons that the British forces used in Iraq , at Baghdad international airport
We held people in dog kennels out in the sun and then drag them off into shipping containers for torture
There were british RAF airmen who were tasked with guarding this prison camp
There were british officers who went into those torture interrogations and fed questions in and took information out
That was the process we were running in Iraq
One where everyone could say i was just doing my job , no one got to see what was going on
I never went to one of these secret prisons, I never physically saw someone getting tortured
The MI6 guy never saw us raiding that person’s house
and this is what we were doing
and this is starting to have an effect on me
As I was growing up watching this films, asking my grandad can I see your medals , reading those comic books
Britain is a good country , Britain fights bad peple , we go to war for the right reasons
Going night after night into those people houses and destroying their lives , starting to have an effect
We got sent on a job outside of Fallujah one night
I think we were in helicopters that night , i can hear the radio communications going on
Our guys got in there interrogated a young man with his young family and it turned out that he had said to them that : i have enough of the war, he wasn’t an insurgent
He actually got this farm off his uncle because he wanted to get out of Fallujah and keep his family safe
I think our guy interrogated him for maybe 20 minutes, all his paperwork added up, all his stories added up
And our commander on the ground that night said : we are not going to take you in
Got on the radio , told our commanders : were not bringing this person in
When we got back to the base, our commander who is a major, not someone insignificant, was taken to have a chat with the next person up
And was told in no uncertain terms : If we tell you to bring someone in, you bring them in
Soldier must obey orders without question
The next night another unit was sent in to get that same person
So you start to realise it didn’t actually matter what decisions you made, this process is going to carry on no matter what you said or did
Also most of the night when we go to someone’s house we were given a name and a photo
Its very rare that we actually find that same person , its very rare that we find the person were looking for
In such cases we did one of two things
1 ) We will take all males of military age from that house, no matter if we wanted them or not. just by being in that location , they were guilty
Take them into the system
2 ) the other option, after doing that. if it aint this house it must be next door, must have gotten slightly out wrong
Happened that i went before into three houses in a row one night
A mate of mine went into seven houses in one night looking for these “terrorists”
All of these males end up in the prison system
I reckon 1 in 20 jobs we in Iraq, we actually found who we were looking for, all the rests were just people who got caught up in it
And I have read reports since, from guys who were interrogating people inside of these secret prisons , and they reckon only 5% of the people they picked up were actually insurgents
I started to sort of question what we were doing
When you inside someone’s house and the family looking at you are you trashing their house taking their stuff
And they looking at you and you can see the look in their eyes which says : what are you doing ? what are you doing to me ? why are you doing this to me ?
Starts to have an effect
When you taking people in , night after night . who are not the people you are looking for, starts to have an effect
When your trashing all these people’s homes and you start to think even from a military point of view, aren’t we just making things worse ?
If these people dint hate us before, they are going to hate us now surely
( For more please listen to Ben Griffin’s full story in the links above, he offers amazing insight into how all this works )
If you watched to the whole video above, you would know that on the American side they actually shot a lot of people while going on these frequent night missions, most of them are innocent
And in the video below you can learn that actually this whole process cumulated to about 25000 men being held in detention at one point of time
And most of these guys end up forming ISIS !
( You can listen to this below )
story 7 : contagion
How come the person who is paid to work, can be so incredible to ask me who paid to learn, to risk my life to do his job ?
I paid to learn and learn indeed I have
Lets compare notes
We will start by making short conclusions about each of the stories above then further distill them into a concise form highlighting the nature of hierrachy
The following is what I got from the stories
Story 1
Despite not knowing why the senior leader forbids the exchange of numbers, in eager zeal the junior leader and team members willingly enforce the command
Without reason
Without thinking
There is also a disconnect in communication between the top part of the hierarchy and the bottom parts
Story 2
In regards to his orders, Bob assumes non existent anticipation and willingly waits upon the beck and call of his leaders
Through Bob, Adam was pulled into this mismatch of expectations
The top leader could have been more considerate to his underlings who obviously in a sense put him on some form pedestal
Due to being high status and being put on some form of spiritual pedestal, the leader’s last minute request for service was met with misplaced anticipation instead of rebuke
Story 3
The top person in the hierarchy sometimes just have no idea what happens beneath him
One is because there is a disconnect of communication between top and bottom
Another is that the underlings seemingly always form their own expectation of their higher ups which often do not coincide accurately with reality
Its like the underling gets some kind of dopamine reward from guessing that their higher ups want so they are constantly pushing buttons to please their overlords, this is done at the expense of the underlings
Logic and reason takes the backseat, a blind interpretation of the leader’s orders take priority
This becomes especially malignant when fear or threat of violence is employed to enforce some form of behaviour, in a work setting which is supposed to be scientific. Medicine is supposed to be a scientific endeavor !
And because of this message of fear and violence, the chance of an underling to verify the exact command of the leader is diminished
A leader through this mechanism, is somehow isolated away from genuine communication. The more this happens, the leader as a real person is slowly transformed into some sort of metaphysical icon.
Example in cults, all the followers have their own idea about how the cult leader is and form their own thoughts about the cult leader which may be removed from reality.
The cult leader on the other hand, can knowingly fuel this mystical status of his cultist’s imagination in order to further the goals of the cult or his own personal goals.
Story 4
Despite having the written law and the agreement of the correct definition of that law, the law is not upheld due to self interest on the part of the Bridge Keeper
By itself the written law is also flawed in a sense that on one hand it states certain set conditions in regards to the oranges, one the other hand it states that the Bridge Keeper can take as he sees fit
Moreover the person who wrote the orange law is not easily accessible so that they can consult him on the actual intents and purposes of the orange law
Hence there is not only there is a hierarchy enforcing the law, there is a hierarchy in regards to the writing of the law as well
As time pass, there is a big danger of people enforcing some law just for the sake of enforcing the law itself without knowing why
Worse still, after those people who wrote the law are long gone, tyrants who take over can interpret the law according to their own reading of it for their own benefit
Just like a virus taking over the machinery of a cell for its own replication
Story 5
In a hierarchal system, a tyrant himself or a group of tyrants are but few out of many
In this case, the Stanovoy is but a lone person out of a large group of peasants
Without him threatening the peasants to punish each other with beating, and the peasants complying blindly, there is no way the Stanovoy could have punished and beaten all the peasants by himself
It will be too much work for him !
Yet it is the most feeble minded among the peasants to first realise this and ask them to stop !
Think about it for one second, if there is no one who obey Hitler out of self interest or fear, could the Holocaust occur ?
If no one in a nation under tyranny obey the tyrant out of self interest or fear, can the tyrant wall off an entire nation, like in North Korea ?
Story 6
Hierarchy allows a form of compartmentalisation to happen in which people can participate in a group activity yet remain oblivious to what the group activity actually is
Self interested individuals may be aware of the evil big picture and still stay within the evil system, even perhaps encourage it further by exalting it !
Individuals who are not self interested can choose to leave the system but they can be easily replaced due to the assembly line system which break downs a complex process into simpler easier to do parts
All you need is a ready pool of people who obey without question and have no higher values to draw from except the sophistry of the higher ups in hierarchy and voila !
A machine for massacre can be fashioned !
Lets not forget, one of the main justifications of the Iraq War against Saddam is the accusation that Iraq has weapons of mass destruction
These armies went to Iraq and found nothing !
Although to be fair, Saddam openly boasted and convinced the world that he really had those weapons too
And through this whole process of raiding innocent people’s houses, killing some of them and torturing the rest, what is it for ?
And the result of it is even more amazing ! Those innocent people they held in detention camps went on to form ISIS
This is messed up on so many levels and so tragic
Story 7
According to the ways of the world, it is common for the higher ups to order those beneath them to face perils and dangers on their behalf
Just look at the wars for example, those politicians who constantly demand for war and even fabricated some, do you see them fighting and dying at the front lines ?
NAY ! They always ensure they themselves are as far away from the danger as possible
Why Nuclear bombs created relative peace in the world ? Coz those Nukes put politicians in danger too !
I was weak to resist the commands of my superiors that time because I had not prepared the logical and theological infrastructure in my mind enough to form resistance
Throughout my education since young, I was taught to obey without question by culture and by the public schooling system which raised me
Therefore there existed a backdoor in my mind which can be accessed by parties interested to control me
Now that I have grown, if I do not close this backdoor in my mind, then the fault will then be mine
The writing of this work is crucial not only to instruct the people who consider my work but also to solidify principles that I discovered over time
I hope this can help you, and through you, the world
concised distillation
Through analysing my conclusions of each of the stories above, I have come to realise that, if we consider the architecture of the hierarchy system without the human element,
The hierarchy system has one main weakness, COMMUNICATION
The problem of language is that even if we are talking the same language, different people have different levels of mastery of the same language and different people have different capacities to process abstract thought
So even by speaking face to face, miscommunications can occur
For example, when a person says FLOWER, one person in the audience can think Hibiscus and another person think Rafflesia
And this is face to face communication, if the message is relayed between layers and layers of hierarchy thats even worse !
Communication between the top in the hierarchy all the way to the bottom, a form of interruption tend to occur when a message pass through through each social layer
The follow below is a sample illustration of the process
Misinterpretation of the message, moulds and transforms the message itself
This proneness to miscommunication is entrenched by the fact that its very challenging for the top to fully know the bottom situation clearly and the bottom cant know the top situation clearly
If there is lack of direct access for people on the bottom to speak with the people on the top, there is no way for people on the bottom to verify or feedback the top leaders themselves on matters at hand
This lack of access in most cases are deliberately placed there in the case of overly large multilayered hierarchies because its just impossible for the top people to cope with the sheer volume of communications that can occur
On the other hand, when there is a communication barrier between people in the lower tiers with the top tiers, a form of myth-making tends to occur
People on the lower tiers tend to form their own assumption of their leaders, whether in a positive way or negative
And worse still if they start to enforce instructions on themselves and others based on these assumption instead of whats actual
To top that, the people below enforcing the commands from the top potentially mix in their own personal agendas within the hierarchy and it is because of that they tend not to be critical of the orders itself
Example, the management within the hierarchy frame above gets paid well for his job and is well regarded by the community due to his status
What incentive is the management to question the commands of the leader in a logical way ?
Is it easy for someone to question the hand which feeds ?
Yet this hand is not only the hand which feeds, this hand is a hand which elevates as well !
The senior and junior may not be as well incentivised in a material and status way but they can still think : that at least I’m not as bad the the person below me, I better keep my position
The hand is a hand which pats on the head
The above is an assessment of the structure of hierarchy from a relatively neutral perspective
Next we must consider hierarchy put n practice in the real world, a world where evil exists
This must be done because if we have a model of hierarchy which does not consider evil, its just gonna be like making a boat not intended to contend with the waves and the wind
Or building a plane without consideration for turbulence and weather conditions
interactions with evil
Evil exists and knows the flaws of hierarchy as outlined above and works relentlessly to inhabit any weakness in each of the layers above. You can think of evil as a form of fungus.
I have written a work which singled out the strain of evil in the world of performance https://famecherry.com/society/phantom-of-the-opera
In the musical, evil is personified as an entity called “The Phantom”
Evil has many names but for the sake of discussion lets use its stage name, The Phantom here
Lets call it The Phantom of Chairs
Just like the Phantom of the Opera, the Phantom of Chairs also dwells in the mirror as it has to do with self interest
The Phantom of the Opera chooses a singing voice to vocalise his “Music of the Night”
The Phantom of Chairs chooses the wilfully ignorant as his vessels to join his “Toils of the Night”
He by nature is more inclusive and less picky than his counterpart as he wants every able hand for his bidding
The more the merrier, gets the dark deed done more thoroughly and on a bigger scale, thats his saying
In your ear He whispers :
You lived in the wretch of your mannered thoughts
Lift your eyes, see how the crowd scorn your lack !
Your steps not worthy of their spit before you
Leave your thoughts at the door, at my table take your place
In this labyrinth, where night is blind
Eat ! Drink ! Copulate !
Taste the consolation of your comfort and pleasures,
Know that man and mystery are both in me !
I am here inside your mind
My spirit and your hand, we are one combined
In the silence of your thoughts, hear my voice
Raise your hand to my tune, even at the level of your eyes
There’s no truth, more than firm bread in your hand
Drink in your thirst, flesh for the hunger in your loins
All of these are yours, if you but leave your thoughts at the door
At my table take your place
Turn your face away from the cold unfeeling light of day,
Take refuge in the shadows , warm yourself in the darkness of the night
Imagine the crowd below you, they strain to see your face
Their kisses not worthy for your feet
You would live as you have never lived before
My spirit and your hand, we are one combined
In the silence of your thoughts, hear my voice
Raise your hand to my tune, even at the level of your eyes
If you but leave your thoughts at the door,
At my table take your place
All of these are yours
Well, as you can see, this Phantom is very good at his job
I bet his voice whispers to the Nazi officer : You dont need to think too much
These jews are less than human, we are the super race ! Why do you care about them ? They are not your family or friends ? You dont know them !
Besides, these are orders from higher up, you are just doing what you are told to.
Faster get on with it so you can spend more time with your mistress.
To Nazi Executioner : Dont think, just do it ! Need I remind you that you have spent your whole career being an expert in killing people, what you gonna do once you lose your job ?
Are you going to learn how to sew ? LOL
He whispers to the train driver : To be honest you also dont know where these Jews are going, maybe they are not being sent to be executed
It’s better that you keep your job and do what you are told. Now you are in uncertain times, better you shut up and keep your job so you can have food on the table.
He also whispers to the French Police who rounds up the Jews : You are just obeying orders, you are just doing what you are told to do. Times are hard now, how else will you feed your family ?
In a hierarchy, there is tendency for individual responsibility to diminish and that is the Phantom’s favourite place to live !
Lack of individual accountability attracts evil like flies are attracted to dung ! These people by choosing their own self interest, have participated in evil wilfully, they are without excuse !
They are all guilty of murder
But of course we have yet to take into account people who participate in murder just because they just enjoy killing people or sincerely believe in false beliefs like race superiority ( for example )
Perhaps thats discussion for another day
Why does individual responsibility diminish in a hierarchy ?
I think its due to the compartmentalisation nature of the task as a whole plus the lack of communication between all the layers along the hierarchal chain
Let me bring out an example
I once sent a parcel back to China to claim warranty, I used Pos Malaysia
I did this over the counter at the post office, then waited for months and months then to my horror the item came back to Malaysia despite the fact that I paid a sizeable sum for it to be sent to China !
I even had to self collect my item from their other branch
When I asked them why its returned to me, they say need to fill some form before posting the item over the counter. The item reached China but didn’t pass thru customs due to lack of documentation.
I told them but the person who accepted my parcel didn’t ask me to fill form !
I said : I want to file a complaint
The head of the Post Office branch there say : What you complain for ? We are not the branch which made the mistake ! Your complaint will make us look bad even though its not our fault !
I insisted and filed the complaint and never heard from them ever since. Its been about 3 years already.
So lets break this down a bit
1 ) I sent my item over the counter in Pos Office Alpha through Person A
2 ) Item Was Passed To Person B to send to Airport
3 ) At Airport Person C will process the item prepare for Export
4 ) Person D will load the item unto the plane and ship it over to China
5 ) At China Person E will sort the item for custom clearance
6 ) Clearance failed so its returned to Pos Office Beta
7 ) Person F handled me when I pick up the item from them at Pos Office Beta
Who among this chain of hands will take responsibility for my lost of time and resource ? None of them will admit that its their fault
How about the organisation itself ?
I sent in a complaint which is supposed to be handled by some obscure department within them but I have not heard from them since. I’m not going to hold by breathe in hopes that they will reimburse me.
If only Person A, B, C, D is conscious enough to know the lack of documentation and cares enough to give me a call when my item is along the process to China !
But no, of course not, the Phantom of Chairs lives in their mind : This is just a job, just do as you are told. Why do you need to care or think ?
Just do the minimal you can so that you can have the money ! You do more you get paid this much, you do less you get paid the same ! So why you need to do so much ?
Leave your thoughts at the door ! They don’t pay you enough anyway ! The customer can care for himself, the items can care for itself.
Just do your small part and look forward to your next vacation.
p/s : To be fair to Pos Malaysia, I think China around that time start to arbitrarily change their custom policy in regards to inbound goods also. So its not fully Pos Malaysia’s fault but the least they could do is to call me and inform me on this new change in policy instead of just sending the item back to Malaysia without my knowledge or consent.
Any organisation or regime does not exist by itself, it needs hands and feet to support its processes in order to manifest into reality.
In other words, it needs vessels. The problem begins when the people who work for the organisation start to focus on themselves instead of the big picture.
Thats when the Phantom of Chairs start to slowly transform the organisation and mould it into its image.
This can lead to dire consequences.
Weakness & Wickedness combined
When a system which is inherently flawed as hierarchy combines with evil, malignant inefficiency spawns into being
A malignant inefficiency is an inefficiency which not only wastes time and resources, it destroys and take lives
People get killed by the system either directly or indirectly
Some examples
1 ) The Post Malaysia issue above, wastes precious time and resources
2 ) The Nazi Holocaust as outlined above, wastes precious time and resources, kills people directly and indirectly
3 ) The Iraq War Issue as outlined above, wastes precious time and resources, kills people directly and indirectly
4 ) When I was working in the hospital, I tried to implement methods I learned in Russia by standardising the screening patients for infectious diseases like TB and AIDS upon the patient’s first admission
This has obvious prophylactic benefits for the patients and staff in the ward
I was scolded by my senior as being wasteful in the use of resources
Later on I learned that a nurse colleague contracted TB on the job and a doctor colleague contracted TB while being in a hospital settings as well.
Classification : wastes precious time and resources, kills people directly and indirectly
5 ) When I was working in the hospital, diabetic patients were mainly treated with insulin
I tried to use more conservative methods I learned in Russia to help them better because I realise that the patients who rely fully on insulin tend to die very fast
In fact a patient I knew died horribly because he kept on eating chocolates and relied on insulin to regulate his sugar levels which were out of whack
I tried experimenting with different methods to try help diabetic patients, I was scolded by the specialist and told to just do according to standard practice ( which obviously is costing lives )
But sure, the patient himself also must choose the right path as well but I feel that in the hospital setting that time, the doctors and nurses just want to get by and do as its being done despite knowing the impotence of the treatments
Classification : wastes precious time and resources, kills people directly and indirectly
Years went by, I found the treatment for diabetes : https://famecherry.com/health
But of course, looking at the classification above, “inefficiency” and “wasting time and resources” and “killing people”, this also depends on the eye of the beholder
What if the system was PURPOSEFULLY put in place to cause inefficiency, to siphon time and resources, to kill and destroy ?
The Prince of the World, whose goal is to steal, kill and destroy, I bet he certainly consider all of the above as good investments efficient for his goals !
Perhaps, inefficiency in this case is better defined as the system in place not fulfilling its originally publicly advertised good purpose
Like a normal cell which should run specific roles in the body, is converted into a cancer due to carcinogens
Then these cancer cells keep replicating until the body can no longer sustain life and dies
The Hierarchy system is like an unhealthy cell vulnerable to carcinogens
The Phantom is the carcinogen
the solution to HIERARCHY & the phantom of chairs
Knowing the flaws of hierarchy, at first I was tempted to cast out the whole concept of hierarchy altogether
Then a day or two ago while I was working on this work, I listened to one of Jordan Peterson’s video talking about how inbuilt hierarchy is, to the biological nature of mammals and social creatures like lobsters etc
It is deeply embedded into our biological circuitry, apparently
Hence, instead of controlling hierarchy, it would make more sense to integrate it in a constructive manner
Which is what we will attempt to do here
Because, if Hierarchy is like an unhealthy cell, we cant just get rid of all cells altogether ! LOL
So the correct questions are ：
1 ) How do we ensure our cells are healthy ?
2 ) How do we combat carcinogens ?
Throughout history, we know that violence doesn’t solve any problems
Like the Iraq war for example, an authoritarian regime was toppled in hopes of fixing the nation
It didn’t work even after the regime was toppled a long time ago yet the country is still in war until this day
Its been almost 9 years now since the Iraq war began
There are many other examples like people toppling their existing hierachy with violence only to end up again as slaves in even worse conditions of death and destruction
To attempt to use violence to solve violence is the same as using something which cause cancer to cure cancer
You just end up with more cancer
Therefore TO INITIATE VIOLENT REVOLUTIONS is ABSOLUTELY OUT OF THE QUESTION !
The thought that violence solves problems is a deception of the enemy
Don’t fall into this lie
HOW DO WE ENSURE A healthy HIERARCHY system ?
The answer is simple, logic and reason
Logic and Reason is the immune system of the hierarchy system
As we know above that multi level hierarchies tend to have problems with communication and also problems with lack of personal accountability
The obvious solution would then be to ensure that the hierarchy itself is small enough for unhindered communication between the top and the bottom of the hierarchy
This more flattened hierarchy structure is, the more personal accountability it yields
Some health test questions for the hierarchy system
1 ) Does the leader knows the situation on the bottom well ?
2 ) Does the people on the bottom know the situation on the top well ? ( aka Transparency )
3 ) How much access does the top have to the people on the bottom directly ?
4 ) How much access does the people on the bottom have to the people on the top directly ?
5 ) If anything goes wrong, is there personal accountability ? or a collective accountability process is employed instead ?
Collective accountability is the Phantom’s favourite habitat, remember
6 ) Is there any enforcement of any command form the top without logical processing before hand ?
7 ) If there is a dispute on any command, are people on the top open to rational and logical discussions ?
8 ) If there is a misconduct in the people below, are they open to rational and logical discussion ?
9 ) How much in touch are the people within the hierarchy with big picture health of the organisation as a whole ?
10 ) How much in touch are the people within the hierarchy with the big picture impact of the organisation’s effect on society as a whole ?
11 ) Does the people on the bottom understand and care about situation and challenges of the people on top ?
12 ) Does the people on the top understand and care about situation and challenges of the people on the bottom ?
13 ) For the messages and orders from top to bottom / bottom to top, is there any distortion in meaning and understanding ?
How much on the same page everyone in the hierarchy is to :
14 ) The Logical Understanding of Money ? -> https://famecherry.com/money
15 ) The Logical Understanding of Sex ? -> https://famecherry.com/sex
Plugging these two backdoors in the mind would greatly help against the deception of the enemy
16 ) Are the people on top, people who lead from the front or lead from the back ?
If the hierarchy becomes too big to support in a fully conscious and logical manner then its time to decentralise
Its something like when your business becomes too big to handle, you can help other people grow their own business instead of just constantly growing your own until it becomes a giant big fungus ridden pyramid which then takes on a mind of its own
The above questions are also good tools to help you diagnose if you are in a an abusive social situation
If you find yourself under abusive social situations in which is out of the domain of your control, you have two choices which is either to continue in it or to stop participating in the social structure ( we will talk more about this )
The solutions presented here is for the benefit of your self management and for accurate assessment of all your social situations
In other words, this is intended to help you make the correct decisions, not for the purpose of imposing on others as coercive rules of law at gun point
Rest assured though, the change you make in the right direction sparks a fiery light which piece the force of darkness
HOW DO WE defeat the phantom ?
Lets begin by first examining what is the state of man before modern civilisation as we know it
Drawing from The Origins of War in Child Abuse
Book : http://psychohistory.com/books/the-origins-of-war-in-child-abuse
Audio : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8oLl4oppAv4
Before civilisation, our original common tendencies were
1 ) Murder
2 ) Rape
For reasons due to
1 ) Illogical belief, Mysticism
2 ) Sheer intent
3 ) Both
If you read the book you can look at the gruesome practices how tribal societies can just cut open someone then have sexual intercourse with that person through the open wound just because they believe that this activity gives them some sort of magical power
They put sand into infant’s mouth to kill them, they punish women with group rape for arbitrary reasons. This is the filth that humanity have painstakingly climbed out of
So much so that the darkness of today is a candle in comparison to the darkness we came out of !
Before modern times, ancient kings used to glorify how they killed, plundered and raped entire populations !
Now, any ruling regime which does this are considered as pariahs deserving of international condemnation !
Wow ! If we but look back we can see that we have made so much progress and we have come so far
Just a few hundred years ago, death from starvation and infectious disease was common
Today death is mainly due to having too much to eat ! LOL
Yet today we are in danger of losing all this great strides of progress as the darkness begins to turn the tide through false belief
I said before and I will say it again, ideas have serious consequences in reality
The question now then becomes, what is the idea which propelled us from the darkest chapters of history into the light of today ?
It all began about 2000 years ago, The Consciousness of The Judge of all the Universe, took the form of a man, came and dwelt among us
His name is Jesus Christ
And this is the story of his encounter with the Phantom
Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. And after fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry.
And the tempter came and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command these stones to become loaves of bread.”
But Jesus answered, “It is written, “‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”
Then the devil took him to the holy city and set him on the pinnacle of the temple and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, for it is written, “‘He will command his angels concerning you,’ and “‘On their hands they will bear you up, lest you strike your foot against a stone.’”
Jesus said to him, “Again it is written, ‘You shall not put the Lord your God to the test.’”
Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. And he said to him, “All these I will give you, if you will fall down and worship me.”
Then Jesus said to him, “Be gone, Satan! For it is written, “‘You shall worship the Lord your God and him only shall you serve.’”
Then the devil left him, and behold, angels came and were ministering to him.
The full unpacking of this incident above, gives us the power to close the backdoor in our minds left open for the Phantom
Stefan Molyneux, the Atheist philosopher, expounds aptly in the video below
How do we perfect the hierarchy system ?
Ensuring that our cells are healthy and making sure we are free of carcinogens is very good
This forms a shield in which we can reach good functional levels
But we are at war with the force of darkness, so having a shield is not enough
We must have a sword to win the war !
The Hierarchy System can be repurposed so that it becomes an instrument of change to disperse the force of darkness
The following are the keys for such a transformation
In Greek, the word God is Theos which doesn’t explain very much what the word means
On the other hand, in Hebrew, in place of the word “God” , Elohim is used
31The Jews picked up stones again to stone him. 32Jesus answered them, “I have shown you many good works from the Father; for which of them are you going to stone me?” 33The Jews answered him, “It is not for a good work that we are going to stone you but for blasphemy, because you, being a man, make yourself God.”34Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your Law, ‘I said, you are gods’?35If he called them gods to whom the word of God came—and Scripture cannot be broken— 36do you say of him whom the Father consecrated and sent into the world, ‘You are blaspheming,’ because I said, ‘I am the Son of God’? 37If I am not doing the works of my Father, then do not believe me; 38but if I do them, even though you do not believe me, believe the works, that you may know and understand that the Father is in me and I am in the Father.” 39Again they sought to arrest him, but he escaped from their hands.Context : https://biblehub.com/esv/john/10.htm
Elohim means judge(s) or ruler(s)
Let’s think about it, what is a king whom no one listens to his commands ? does that make him a king or “king” ?
What is a god whom no one follows his commandments ? does that make him God or “god” ?
Using Jesus’s definition of the word, God,
2“I am YAHWEH your Elohim, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.
3“You shall have no other Elohim beforea me.

Mind code : The authority to define whats right and wrong is YAHWEH’s alone, expressed through His laws and statutes.
15The LORD God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to work it and keep it. 16And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, “You may surely eat of every tree of the garden, 17but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eatd of it you shall surely die.”
Context : https://biblehub.com/esv/genesis/2.htm
Mind code : By eating from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, mankind usurped YAHWEH and begins to define good and evil according to themselves. Death and destruction follows suit as we can see today.
7And now, O LORD my God, you have made your servant king in place of David my father, although I am but a little child. I do not know how to go out or come in. 8And your servant is in the midst of your people whom you have chosen, a great people, too many to be numbered or counted for multitude.
9Give your servant therefore an understanding mind to govern your people, that I may discern between good and evil, for who is able to govern this your great people?”
10It pleased the Lord that Solomon had asked this. 11And God said to him, “Because you have asked this, and have not asked for yourself long life or riches or the life of your enemies, but have asked for yourself understanding to discern what is right, 12behold, I now do according to your word. Behold, I give you a wise and discerning mind, so that none like you has been before you and none like you shall arise after you. 13I give you also what you have not asked, both riches and honor, so that no other king shall compare with you, all your days. 14And if you will walk in my ways, keeping my statutes and my commandments, as your father David walked, then I will lengthen your days.”
Context : https://biblehub.com/esv/1_kings/3.htm
Mind code : It pleases YAHWEH that Solomon defers the act of defining good and evil to YAHWEH Himself. But as per history, in the end Solomon failed too. Only Jesus succeeded.
13Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to John, to be baptized by him. 14John would have prevented him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?” 15But Jesus answered him, “Let it be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then he consented. 16And when Jesus was baptized, immediately he went up from the water, and behold, the heavens were opened to him,c and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and coming to rest on him; 17and behold, a voice from heaven said, “This is my beloved Son,d with whom I am well pleased.”
Context : https://biblehub.com/esv/matthew/3.htm
1And after six days Jesus took with him Peter and James, and John his brother, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. 2And he was transfigured before them, and his face shone like the sun, and his clothes became white as light. 3And behold, there appeared to them Moses and Elijah, talking with him. 4And Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good that we are here. If you wish, I will make three tents here, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah.”
5He was still speaking when, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my beloved Son,awith whom I am well pleased; listen to him.”
Context : https://biblehub.com/esv/matthew/17.htm
Mind code : Jesus alone holds the key to fulfil all of YAHWEH’s laws and statutes. By following and doing as Jesus prescribes, we can now fulfil all of YAHWEH’s laws and statutes too.
25Now great crowds accompanied him, and he turned and said to them,
26“If anyone comes to me and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple.
27Whoever does not bear his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple. 28For which of you, desiring to build a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost, whether he has enough to complete it? 29Otherwise, when he has laid a foundation and is not able to finish, all who see it begin to mock him, 30saying, ‘This man began to build and was not able to finish.’ 31Or what king, going out to encounter another king in war, will not sit down first and deliberate whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand? 32And if not, while the other is yet a great way off, he sends a delegation and asks for terms of peace. 33So therefore, any one of you who does not renounce all that he has cannot be my disciple. 34“Salt is good, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? 35It is of no use either for the soil or for the manure pile. It is thrown away. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
Context : https://biblehub.com/esv/luke/14.htm
Mind code : To follow after Jesus, that means we are to scrub ourselves of all our pre-suppositions imputed upon us by our family upbringing, cultural background, familial ties, social pressure and social coercions. A hard reset button must be pushed so that the world may be redefined through the lens of Jesus, this is the cost. Its the only way and entry into new reality.
4Then all the elders of Israel gathered together and came to Samuel at Ramah 5and said to him, “Behold, you are old and your sons do not walk in your ways. Now appoint for us a king to judge us like all the nations.” 6But the thing displeased Samuel when they said, “Give us a king to judge us.” And Samuel prayed to the LORD. 7And the LORD said to Samuel, “Obey the voice of the people in all that they say to you, for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected me from being king over them. 8According to all the deeds that they have done, from the day I brought them up out of Egypt even to this day, forsaking me and serving other gods, so they are also doing to you. 9Now then, obey their voice; only you shall solemnly warn them and show them the ways of the king who shall reign over them.”
10So Samuel told all the words of the LORD to the people who were asking for a king from him. 11He said, “These will be the ways of the king who will reign over you: he will take your sons and appoint them to his chariots and to be his horsemen and to run before his chariots. 12And he will appoint for himself commanders of thousands and commanders of fifties, and some to plow his ground and to reap his harvest, and to make his implements of war and the equipment of his chariots. 13He will take your daughters to be perfumers and cooks and bakers. 14He will take the best of your fields and vineyards and olive orchards and give them to his servants. 15He will take the tenth of your grain and of your vineyards and give it to his officers and to his servants. 16He will take your male servants and female servants and the best of your young mena and your donkeys, and put them to his work. 17He will take the tenth of your flocks, and you shall be his slaves. 18And in that day you will cry out because of your king, whom you have chosen for yourselves, but the LORD will not answer you in that day.”
Context : https://biblehub.com/esv/1_samuel/8.htm
Mind code : By original design, it is God Himself whom should be ruler over us as King.
This explains why to have any form of Caesar above us, is an appendage prone to gangrenous consequences.
52The Jews then disputed among themselves, saying, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?” 53So Jesus said to them,
“Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you.
54Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.
55For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink.
56Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him.
57As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so whoever feeds on me, he also will live because of me.
58This is the bread that came down from heaven, not like the breadc the fathers ate, and died. Whoever feeds on this bread will live forever.”
59Jesusd said these things in the synagogue, as he taught at Capernaum.
Context : https://biblehub.com/esv/john/6.htm
31In the mean while his disciples urged Jesus, saying, Master, eat.
32But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of.
33Therefore said the disciples one to another, Hath any man brought him ought to eat?
34Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.
Context : https://biblehub.com/kjv/john/4.htm
Mind code : Jesus’s definition of food is to do the will of Him who sent Jesus and to finish His work. By us eating Jesus’s flesh and blood, our food is to do the will of Jesus who sends us and to finish His work.
31When he had gone out, Jesus said, “Now is the Son of Man glorified, and God is glorified in him. 32If God is glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself, and glorify him at once. 33Little children, yet a little while I am with you. You will seek me, and just as I said to the Jews, so now I also say to you, ‘Where I am going you cannot come.’
34A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another.
35By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
Context : https://biblehub.com/esv/john/13.htm
Mind code : We ought to Love one another on par with Jesus’s standard. He gave His life for us.
When he had entered Capernaum, a centurion came forward to him, appealing to him, 6“Lord, my servant is lying paralyzed at home, suffering terribly.” 7And he said to him, “I will come and heal him.” 8But the centurion replied, “Lord, I am not worthy to have you come under my roof, but only say the word, and my servant will be healed. 9For I too am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. And I say to one, ‘Go,’ and he goes, and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes, and to my servant,c ‘Do this,’ and he does it.” 10When Jesus heard this, he marveled and said to those who followed him, “Truly, I tell you, with no one in Israeld have I found such faith.
11I tell you, many will come from east and west and recline at table with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven, 12while the sons of the kingdom will be thrown into the outer darkness. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” 13And to the centurion Jesus said, “Go; let it be done for you as you have believed.” And the servant was healed at that very moment.
Context : https://biblehub.com/esv/matthew/8.htm
Mind code : Jesus didn’t rebuke the centurion for being a man under authority but laud him for his faith.
This shows that Jesus isn’t against the structure of hierarchy itself but the evils that it can succumb to.
1Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples, 2“The scribes and the Pharisees sit on Moses’ seat, 3so do and observe whatever they tell you, but not the works they do. For they preach, but do not practice. 4They tie up heavy burdens, hard to bear,a and lay them on people’s shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to move them with their finger. 5They do all their deeds to be seen by others. For they make their phylacteries broad and their fringes long, 6and they love the place of honor at feasts and the best seats in the synagogues 7and greetings in the marketplaces and being called rabbib by others.
8But you are not to be called rabbi, for you have one teacher, and you are all brothers.c
9And call no man your father on earth, for you have one Father, who is in heaven.
10Neither be called instructors, for you have one instructor, the Christ.
11The greatest among you shall be your servant.
12Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.
13“But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you shut the kingdom of heaven in people’s faces. For you neither enter yourselves nor allow those who would enter to go in.d 15Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you travel across sea and land to make a single proselyte, and when he becomes a proselyte, you make him twice as much a child of helle as yourselves.
Mind code : We are not to seek status and titles to exalt ourselves but acknowledge one another as equals in social standing at all times.
Mind code : We do not follow the practices and traditions of our fathers or forefathers, but we are to follow the commandments of our Father, YAHWEH.
Mind code : Whatever ability or talent that God gave us is to be used to serve other people, not to be used as tools to exercise dominion over them
6Jesus came to Simon Peter, who said to him, “Lord, do you wash my feet?” 7Jesus answered him, “What I am doing you do not understand now, but afterward you will understand.” 8Peter said to him, “You shall never wash my feet.” Jesus answered him, “If I do not wash you, you have no share with me.” 9Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, not my feet only but also my hands and my head!” 10Jesus said to him, “The one who has bathed does not need to wash, except for his feet,a but is completely clean. And youb are clean, but not every one of you.” 11For he knew who was to betray him; that was why he said, “Not all of you are clean.” 12When he had washed their feet and put on his outer garments and resumed his place, he said to them, “Do you understand what I have done to you?
13You call me Teacher and Lord, and you are right, for so I am.
14If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet.
15For I have given you an example, that you also should do just as I have done to you. 16Truly, truly, I say to you, a servantc is not greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. 17If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them. 18I am not speaking of all of you; I know whom I have chosen. But the Scripture will be fulfilled,d ‘He who ate my bread has lifted his heel against me.’ 19I am telling you this now, before it takes place, that when it does take place you may believe that I am he. 20Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever receives the one I send receives me, and whoever receives me receives the one who sent me.”
Context : https://biblehub.com/esv/john/13.htm
Mind code : If Jesus, the greatest amongst us serves us through the giving of His life for us, we ought to do the same for one another.
24A dispute also arose among them, as to which of them was to be regarded as the greatest. 25And he said to them,
“The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them, and those in authority over them are called benefactors.
26But not so with you. Rather, let the greatest among you become as the youngest, and the leader as one who serves.
27For who is the greater, one who reclines at table or one who serves? Is it not the one who reclines at table?
But I am among you as the one who serves.

25But Jesus called them to him and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them. 26It shall not be so among you.
But whoever would be great among you must be your servant,c
27and whoever would be first among you must be your slave,d
28even as the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

Mind code : We are not to practice the world’s form of hierarchy where the top people abuse those below them yet declaring themselves their “helpers”
Mind code : The hierarchy of Jesus is where the greater is the one who serves the weaker and less able
Mind code : Even Jesus Himself came not to be served but to serve, He even gave his life as a ransom for many
12“If your brother, a Hebrew man or a Hebrew woman, is soldb to you, he shall serve you six years, and in the seventh year you shall let him go free from you. 13And when you let him go free from you, you shall not let him go empty-handed.14You shall furnish him liberally out of your flock, out of your threshing floor, and out of your winepress. As the LORD your God has blessed you, you shall give to him. 15You shall remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and the LORD your God redeemed you; therefore I command you this today. 16But if he says to you, ‘I will not go out from you,’ because he loves you and your household, since he is well-off with you, 17then you shall take an awl, and put it through his ear into the door, and he shall be your slavec forever. And to your female slaved you shall do the same. 18It shall not seem hard to you when you let him go free from you, for at half the cost of a hired worker he has served you six years. So the LORD your God will bless you in all that you do.
Mind Code : We shall not presume ourselves to be the permanent masters of anyone, even those whom are in a position of servitude unto our enterprise.
We are not to bind them with a heavy hand so they they will stay with us but we are to conduct our work together as a mutually beneficial endeavour so that they of their own volition would choose to stay with us.
And if they choose to leave regardless, we are to furnish them appropriately for their journey onward. In proportion to the means YAHWEH has blessed us.
18“If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you. 19If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.
20Remember the word that I said to you: ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they kept my word, they will also keep yours.
21But all these things they will do to you on account of my name, because they do not know him who sent me.

1“I have said all these things to you to keep you from falling away. 2They will put you out of the synagogues. Indeed, the hour is coming when whoever kills you will think he is offering service to God. 3And they will do these things because they have not known the Father, nor me. 4But I have said these things to you, that when their hour comes you may remember that I told them to you.
Context : https://biblehub.com/esv/john/16.htm
Mind code : Expect persecution and trouble for doing as Jesus prescribes.
43“You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ 44But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.
46For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same?
47And if you greet only your brothers,iwhat more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? 48You therefore must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
Context : https://biblehub.com/esv/matthew/5.htm
Mind code : We are to extend and universalise these principles to even our enemies or to people who are outside our tribe, culture or nation.
Mind code : The idea of perfection is redefined by Jesus as being just like YAHWEH who feeds people who are evil as well as the good, to give drink to the just and the unjust.
12Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father.
13Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14If you ask mee anything in my name, I will do it.
Context : https://biblehub.com/esv/john/14.htm
Mind code : Jesus empowers the people who believes in Him to do greater works than Himself.
This is stark difference to the ways of the world which strives to keep the people below down so those on top can stay on the top.
31He put another parable before them, saying, “The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard seed that a man took and sowed in his field. 32It is the smallest of all seeds, but when it has grown it is larger than all the garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and make nests in its branches.”
33He told them another parable. “The kingdom of heaven is like leaven that a woman took and hid in three measures of flour, till it was all leavened.”

Mind code : Dont belittle the little you can do each day to live by Jesus, it will grow to be a place of refuge. Expect asymmetric remedial impact on reality.
THE ANATOMY OF A MIND CODE
Lets arrange the codes above similar in structure to HTML code, for example
<strong>TEST</strong>
the html code will transform the word TEST into TEST, the text is bolded
The anatomy of the html code is
<strong> = Beginning of code for bolding
TEST = Core Content
</strong> = Ending of code for bolding
In html code, the head and tail modulates the core content of the code in between them and multiple layers of modulation can be applied onto the content itself
For example
<strong><u>TEST</u></strong>
broken down anatomically
<strong> = Beginning of code for bolding
<u> = Beginning of code for underlining
TEST = Core Content
</u> = Ending of code for underlining
</strong> = Ending of code for bolding
the html code above will transform the word TEST into TEST, the text is bolded and underlined
With this basic principle of html, lets consider the concise mind codes below
I shall color code them for ease of distinction, for the same color the one on the top is the beginning and the same color on the bottom is the ending
Black color is the core code
tHE SWORD AGAINST HIERARCHAL DARKNESS
- The authority to define whats right and wrong is God’s alone as shown in His laws and statutes. To please God is to obey Him.
- We are to remove all pre-suppositions in our minds. We do not follow the practices and traditions of our forefathers, but we are to follow the commandments of our Father, YAHWEH alone.
- Expect persecution and trouble for doing as Jesus prescribes. The little you can do each day to live by Jesus, will grow to be a place of refuge one day. Expect asymmetric remedial impact on reality.
- We are not to seek status and titles to exalt ourselves but acknowledge one another as equals in social standing. We ought to Love one another on par with Jesus’s standard. He gave His life to redeem us.
- Greater is the one who serves the weaker and less able. Even Jesus Himself came not to be served but to serve, He even gave his life as a ransom for many
We shall not presume ourselves to be the permanent masters of anyone, even those whom are in a position of servitude unto us.
We are not to bind them with a heavy hand so they will stay enslaved to us but we are to conduct our work together as a mutually beneficial endeavour so that they of their own volition would choose to stay with us.
And if they choose to leave regardless, we are to furnish them appropriately for their journey onward. In proportion to the means YAHWEH has blessed us.
We are to extend and universalise these principles to even our enemies or to people who are outside our tribe, culture or nation.
- If Jesus, the greatest amongst us, serves us through the giving of His life for us, we ought to do the same for one another.
- Jesus empowers the people who believes in Him to do greater works than Himself. So we are to empower those who are under our care.
- Perfection is being just like our Father In Heaven who feeds people who are evil as well as the good, to give drink to the just and the unjust.
- We start by redefining everything through the lens of Jesus. Its the only way to enter into new reality, to do the work of Jesus and thru Jesus, YAHWEH’s
- Jesus alone holds the keys to fulfil all of YAHWEH’s laws and statutes. By doing as Jesus prescribes, we fulfil God’s laws and statutes.
Expectant results
I hope the above helps, any question please feel free to ask me
Don’t worry, the codes once installed will interact with your individuality and guide you step by step how you can fulfil your mission here in reality
If done right, the resulting hierarchy would look something like the following ( Though perhaps I have oversimplified it )
In comparison to the typical top down hierarchy of Caesar
The codes above are but a small part of a big blueprint to bring forth the Kingdom of God here into reality
You can examine our constitution here https://famecherry.com/constitution
confronting evil
Well what if we find ourselves trapped in an evil system of hierarchy?
Well, remember, by merit of our citizenship in the Kingdom of God, we are expected to be decoupled from the systems of the world and interact with Caesar as an ambassador of one Kingdom unto another
Jesus did say to keep watch and He did say to expect trouble
15“So when you see the abomination of desolation spoken of by the prophet Daniel, standing in the holy place (let the reader understand),
16then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.
17Let the one who is on the housetop not go down to take what is in his house, 18and let the one who is in the field not turn back to take his cloak. 19And alas for women who are pregnant and for those who are nursing infants in those days! 20Pray that your flight may not be in winter or on a Sabbath. 21For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, and never will be. 22And if those days had not been cut short, no human being would be saved. But for the sake of the elect those days will be cut short. 23Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There he is!’ do not believe it. 24For false christs and false prophets will arise and perform great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect. 25See, I have told you beforehand. 26So, if they say to you, ‘Look, he is in the wilderness,’ do not go out. If they say, ‘Look, he is in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it. 27For as the lightning comes from the east and shines as far as the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.
28Wherever the corpse is, there the vultures will gather.

Personally my reading of this is that, we are to have one hand building the Kingdom of God and another hand making preparations to navigate times of trouble. Much like how Nehemiah built the wall amidst adversary.
How to build the Kingdom of God ?
18And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19Go therefore and make students of all the nations, immersing them in the name of the Father ( the Law ) , the Son ( Jesus ) and the Holy Spirit ( 2000 years of historical progress led by the Holy Spirit from Jesus till now ), 20teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” [d]Amen.
