[0:03] Civilisation and Its Discontents
Conference: Music. Music. Music. Music. Music. Thank you.
Brendan: What civilisation is, is six billion people trying to make themselves happy by standing on each other's shoulders and kicking each other's teeth in.
It's not a pleasant situation, and yet you can stand back and look at this planet and see that we have the money, the power, the medical understanding, the scientific know-how, the love and the community to produce a kind of human paradise.
But we are led by the least among us. The least intelligent, the least noble, the least visionary. We are led by the least among us. And we do not fight back against the dehumanising values.
Thank you.
It is not your friend. It insults you. It disempowers you. It uses and abuses you. None of us are well treated. By culture. And yet we glorify the creative potential of the individual, the rights of the individual. We understand the felt presence of experience is what is most important. But the culture is a perversion.
It fetishises objects, creates consumer mania. It preaches endless forms of false happiness, endless forms of false understanding in the form of squirrely religions and silly cults. It invites people to diminish themselves and dehumanise themselves by behaving like machines.
Thank you.
[2:46] Reconnecting With the Earth
Brendan: Okay, so why is civilisation so messed up? Why are we so self-destructive?
This is the thing that we need to get back to, that blue roundish object there, or for those of you who think it's flat, that flat blue object there. That's cool, we can still be friends.
One of the things civilisation does is it's so top heavy, it's so mentally constructed, mentally oriented, we end up disconnected from the ground under our feet. So we need to drop back into our bodies and connect with the ground again, basically, and remember that it's the planet that actually matters. It's the organism that is being destroyed right now by civilisation.
We've got to find a way to break our addiction to the ideas about civilisation, that we have ideas like civilisation is the greatest invention we've ever come up with and we will not ever come up with a better invention than civilisation. But since civilisation is actually destroying us, we need to come up with a better invention than civilisation. And we need to connect with the earth again.
Now, we could go off on a huge tangent there about how to build communities and culture and go off grid and all that kind of stuff, but that's not really what this is about.
[4:14] Rome and the Implosion of the West
Brendan: So Rome imploded. It wasn't attacked from the outside and dismantled by some invading party. It imploded because it was rotten. It rotted itself into oblivion, basically. And that's what we're doing right now.
Western civilisation is imploding in on itself and it's because we've become so beguiled by our beliefs about civilisation and how we should live and what's right and wrong and all this kind of stuff, and we don't realise, we're blinded, we don't realise that we're actually destroying ourselves day by day.
[4:48] Technology and Self-Destruction
Brendan: So some of the ways that we're self-destructing right now, I'm going to just touch on briefly because again it's not really what I'm going to focus on, but we'll run through a few.
[section omitted] They're going to be working on that. And the Commonwealth Games are going to be launching that. [section omitted] That's millimetre wave technology. It's known to destroy DNA. So you don't want any of that kind of stuff anywhere near your house. There's going to be one on every pole in the street. Every street is going to be absolutely loaded up with these things in the suburbs and the cities. And they don't seem to want to know about how dangerous their technology is that they're rolling out.
It's tempting to say that they do know and they don't care, but I tend to think that a lot of what goes on in the corporate world is actually just pure blindness and greed.
So these kinds of things, we've got an addiction to technology. I don't know if you've ever noticed, but if you ever challenge the idea of technology, some people become absolutely hysterical, like you've just questioned Jesus to a Christian. And they really don't like it. So we've got this idea that every single technological innovation that could possibly happen is necessarily a good thing. No matter what. [section omitted] That's a brilliant idea. Great. Because every innovation must be good by definition because it's technology and technology is good. Okay.
[6:29] Signs of Cultural Demise
Brendan: So, we've got other stuff going on. Some of the signs and symptoms of our current demise is stuff like toxic social movements like neo-feminism, not the original feminism, we're now into the third wave of feminism and it's like the most infantile, toxic thing I've ever seen sociologically. It's unbelievable.
We're still getting the standard education system indoctrination, but even that, it's regressing. We're getting stuff like safe schools and this really bizarre sexual stuff, content being put into the syllabus for the kids, five-year-old kids and stuff. It's really, really wrong. It's just super twisted.
And we've also got, believe it or not, a pro-paedophilia movement, kind of like an underground movement, but they're sort of coming out into the public. And trying to make it okay to want to be doing stuff to kids. So we've got all sorts of weird stuff going on. These are some of the signs and symptoms of our cultural demise.
So it's not culture as such, but it is Western culture that has absolutely become toxic. And I prefer to use the word civilisation. Because that's what is our poison at the moment. So, fluoride in the water, all that sort of stuff.
[7:43] The Collective Human Unconscious
Brendan: Okay, so why? Why are we doing this stuff? Excuse me. What is it that drives us to destroy ourselves blindly?
My friend in the UK, Nick Sandbrook, is an author. And if it wasn't for his input, hours before drink food, starting about three years ago, I probably wouldn't have figured out what he has figured out. He probably saved me hundreds, if not thousands of hours of study and contemplation. And so it is what he helped me to understand. It is what he calls the collective human unconscious.
So this is the sort of gestalt entity that is us, the collective humanity. So it's not just your personal unconscious, it's humanity's unconscious. It's all of our pain, fear, trauma, all of our ancestral memories, all of our deities and gods and saviours, all of that stuff. That's all there in the unconscious, the collective unconscious. And that's what's really driving us in the sense that it's unconscious.
See, what Nick helped me understand was the collective unconscious actually is not just this passive, it's not a passive repository of information. It's not just a bunch of ancestral memories. It is actually a kind of living being. It's sort of alive. And it kind of likes to control us in very insidious and manipulative kinds of ways. And it does that through belief systems, basically.
And it likes its belief systems to stick around and it likes people to invest in them, it likes crowds to really pump psychic energy into these belief structures and keep them going. Because that's what a belief structure is, it's just a program, but it's kind of like a sentient program, artificial intelligence. And any living organism has one basic priority and that is to survive and replicate and procreate and keep itself going. And that's what our belief structures do.
So it's not passive. That's one of the key things that Nick helped me to understand, just how actively involved the collective unconscious is. It is very, very clever. It is very good at hiding itself from our awareness. It doesn't want to be seen.
And I think that's possibly, I don't want to sound paranoid, but it could be one of the reasons why every time we have to give a talk or go somewhere, we end up sick or wiped out or sleeping on a bed that is not designed for sleeping on and just absolutely wrecked. I'm not going to get into this whole idea of, oh, it's this huge cosmic conspiracy to stop me from speaking because the conspirators don't want people to know the truth. It's more like, what I do is I challenge belief structures and that's one thing that the collective unconscious doesn't particularly like. Whatever that belief structure is, whether it's the New Age stuff or standard religious stuff, it just wants those beliefs to stay intact. So maybe that's partly why I get kicked in the teeth every time I go give a talk.
Anyway, so it's evolving with us. Because it is us on the other side of the mirror, it's our flip side, it's actually evolving with us, or probably devolving with us at this point. And that's one of the challenges we've got now, actually overcoming all that unconscious psychological momentum that is trying to keep us in place. And is actually destroying us. So we have to make the unconscious conscious.
[11:47] How the Collective Unconscious Plays Out Stories
Brendan: One of the things that it does is it takes information from humans, from individual humans. And it receives it. And then it goes, oh, that's an interesting idea. That's an interesting story. I like that. And what it then does often is it seeks to play that out in real life using people, individuals, as puppets in this bizarre little stage show. And they don't even know they're participating in it.
And authors like Philip K. Dick, they were actually involved in this quite heavily. He was one of these people who just seemed to have a knack for massively influencing the collective unconscious. And his stories have been turned into movies and stuff, but they also have been turned into people's lives in a way, like my buddy Nick, who I just mentioned before. He has found, in the process of his research, he has found that his life, he's been living some of Philip K. Dick's stories in unbelievably high levels of detail. It's crazy.
So imagine writing a story, a fictional book, and then you go out in the world and you suddenly see people are living it. And they don't even have to know that you wrote the book, because that information is automatically injected into the unconscious and dispersed everywhere. And suddenly you see people living it out and you're going, what the hell is this? It's like dance, monkey dance. You're making people do something without even intending to because the collective unconscious takes ideas on and it goes, yeah, let's do that. Let's make people play that out. That'll be entertaining.
And one of the things it does is it loves movies and film and it uses symbolism and archetypes to get things done and to hypnotise us as well. So we've got a lot of weird stuff coming in through the collective unconscious. A lot of people think that they're talking to God or aliens. Or whatever. But if you look at it closely, a lot of the time it's quite obvious that they're actually talking to their own personal unconscious or they've tapped into some kind of program that's running in the collective and they think that it's this amazing transcendent wisdom and it's actually most of the time rubbish.
So, we have to talk about Jung and UFOs, because Jung got halfway there, and he didn't have the benefit that we have now. As much of a genius as the guy was, he was one of the greatest minds that we've had.
He got halfway there because he recognised, first he thought, okay, these UFO things that are showing up, his first thought was, this is an emanation or an eruption from the collective unconscious. But he never really got any further than that when he realised, because he was interested in the subject and he researched it, that these entities were showing up on military radar and stuff like that. He realised they had a physicality to them. And I think that kind of threw him. I think that's one of the reasons why he never sort of solved the problem as such.
Because he didn't realise what I'm telling you now, which is the collective unconscious. Excuse me. I'm going to get through this. God damn it. The collective unconscious can physically manifest. It can actually manifest as physical matter. And that's something that I guess I didn't fully realise until relatively recently, over the last few years.
So Jung got halfway there. He realised that UFOs, whatever they are, it's a real physical thing and it's an emanation from the collective unconscious which manifests physically. There's so much psychic power in the unconscious. Imagine this. Imagine a being that is composed of the psychic energy of about 8 billion plus humans over time. So you've got this entity with all of that psychic power and all of that accumulated human knowledge and all those beliefs and all that stuff. And it has the capacity to actually influence matter and to build matter into physical form.
One of the interesting things and one of the key points we have to take into account here for this talk is that myths, as Jung said, are not only based on racial memories of prehistoric happenings, there's much more to it. Neither the individual nor the collective subconscious is merely made up of submerged memories. It is also the place where our God lives.
So all of those God programs and deities are very much alive and kicking in the unconscious. And they still want people to believe in them, they want to survive, basically. Some of them are having more luck with it than others.
[17:07] Thought Forms and Elementals
Brendan: So I'm going to read to you a passage from, I'm going to do it at the lectern. Okay, so this is a passage from my book about thought forms, because thought forms are quite crucial to understanding a lot of what's going on on our planet.
In the yogic systems, thought forms are referred to as pratyaya, the content of the mind functioning through a particular vehicle, that is, some part of your auric field, if you can put it that way. For someone in the ordinary waking state, working through their mental body, the pratyaya in their case will be the mental image in their mind. Anyone with clairvoyance operating at the appropriate level can see this mental image and gain knowledge of that mind, aka mind reading. Functioning in this way, the seer is able to detect form, but not necessarily the intent or emotion that caused the form.
Take note. Arthur Paul explained in Occult Terms that a thought form is a kind of living entity of high energy which is animated by the idea that spawned it. The finer the matter that it is made of, the greater the energy and power that it possesses. Robert Bruce states that astral matter reacts to thought just as physical matter responds to force. Thus, it can be moulded in ways only limited by the imagination. The most convincing thought constructs can be indistinguishable from reality.
The kind of higher dimensional matter out of which thought forms are made is referred to in theosophical doctrine as elemental, a quote, strange semi-intelligent life, kind of like artificial intelligence. And it surrounds us, we're standing in it. Because it's so easily moulded by thought, every impulse emanating from someone's mental body immediately draws around itself a temporary vehicle composed of this elemental substance. This is a virtual substance.
Yogi Ramacharika explained in 1904 that a strongly charged thought, perhaps one strongly willed and motivated by positive intent, also takes with it a certain amount of prana, proportional to the intensity with which the thought was propelled. Such thoughts are often sent like a bullet to the mark, he stated. So a thought then is a kind of living creature. The thought force is the soul, while the plasmoidal elemental essence, the virtual particles, comprise the body of the thought, the form. Such thought forms are sometimes referred to as artificial elementals, temporary mental constructs.
There are reports of self-aware thought forms, tulpas, also known as egregores or another weird term. So there are reports of these things being generated through ritual and intention. The poet W.B. Yeats reputedly managed to create one, a white jester, with enough independent vitality to become visible to a few of his friends, so it became objectively real, it existed objectively in physical reality. Theosophist Alexandra David-Neel also achieved something similar through sustained effort and mystical rites over a period of months. Her tulpa, her thought form, living thought form, gradually turned lean and sinister from its originally plump and jolly state, and with much difficulty, he had to be dissolved.
The variety of possible thought forms is essentially infinite, being limited only by the imaginations of the universe's sentient inhabitants. From the perspective of Edgar Cayce, thoughts are literally deeds in the mental realm that have an influence on the material world. Steiner had much the same outlook, advising mindfulness of one's thoughts as they react on one another in the thought world. Wrong thoughts have a, quote, devastating effect on others in the mental environment.
Thoughts are real hyperspatial etheric energy. They're not merely internal neural impulses that we experience quietly in our heads. So whatever thought you have, whatever electrical activity happens in your brain, there is a corresponding activity on, if I can get away with using the term, higher dimensions.
[21:42] Abstraction in the Other Planes
Brendan: So it's important to realise, actually, oh, what did I do with it? Here it is.
So it's important for me to point out that the physical world that we inhabit, we consider this the objective world, it's like the consensus reality. And the other dimensions, as you go out from the physical, into the etheric, into the astral, into the mental and buddhic planes and so on and so forth, it gets increasingly abstract as you venture out.
So whatever is happening there, I'm making a generalisation here, but in terms of your thought patterns, whatever's happening is an abstraction. It's like a symbolic rendering of what you're thinking. It shouldn't necessarily be taken at face value or literally. It needs to be interpreted.
So Tom Montauk, who's a pretty sharp guy, he says, thoughts, if they're particularly strong, become entitized and acquire a self-preservation instinct. So they acquire a strong artificial intelligence, making them capable of parasitically inducing more of the same thoughts and emotions in us needed to sustain them. So they do become parasitic. They attach to you like a parasite and they try to prompt you and prod you into thinking more of those kinds of thoughts as fuel. So it's not necessarily that you've been invaded by aliens or whatever. You might have just generated a thought form that is now trying to survive, essentially. Clear as mud.
[23:22] Group Intention Producing Light
Brendan: Thank you. More recently, to give you a specific example of the way that thought can actually manifest in our physical reality, Robert Monroe, who's famous for his writing on the subject of astral travel, out-of-body experiences, took groups and they did experiments where they would, as a group, try to generate light in the sky. And they succeeded. They produced light through a process of focused intention over several hours. It took them a while, but it eventually showed up.
So the virtual energy of their thoughts eventually did manifest at the objective physical level to the point where anyone could see it. Because once it's in this consensus reality, obviously, you don't need to be clairvoyant or psychic to see it.
So you might ask then, what was happening at the other levels, etheric and astral levels, while they were doing that? What were their intentions manifesting as? It might have been manifesting as gremlins or goblins. I have no idea. It's just a weird symbolic thing that plays out in those more abstract planes of existence.
[24:39] Psychic Attack and a Speaker Who Doesn't Research
Brendan: So that leads us into psychic attack. I was at a talk recently by a guy who I won't name because I don't want to seem to be trashing anyone, but he made a lot of very big claims and large statements, and he put the idea out that he's got the answers. He's discovered the truth about life on earth. And at the end of making all of these grand sweeping statements and claims, in the same breath, he says, but I don't research.
That's a fairly large red flag to me. If you don't research, so that you're taking in other people's perspectives and information, you're really fighting with one arm tied behind your back. And I know some people who have done their homework over years and maybe don't do it now. I know someone in the room who doesn't research now but who has.
But this guy who I was listening to, he basically relies 100% on his own internal perceptions of what's happening in these other planes, these abstract planes of virtual reality. And he treats them as gospel. He takes it all completely at face value, doesn't question any of it, and doesn't do any research. So he has no idea, in my view, how to actually assess what he's experiencing.
He made the comment that he gets psychically attacked, and he's being psychically attacked when he's giving talks. And the implication with him was that it was part of this grand cosmic alien conspiracy and the alien overlords don't want him talking because they don't want anyone to know the truth. And he just doesn't seem to realise that a human thought can manifest as something like these guys up on the screen, an alien or some kind of weird creature. And it can come at you and, quote, attack you if that thought was, say, less than, I don't know, friendly?
If someone thinks a critical thought of you, what is happening on the psychic level of virtual reality is their thought translates into something really weird and abstract and, yeah, it may attack you, but it's not a conscious process. My point is that it's not a conscious process and with him he has no appreciation of this stuff. So he interprets it as confirmation that he's uncovered the global conspiracy because they're attacking him and don't want him to talk.
So it's probably just a simple matter of, well, actually people in the audience may be thinking things about you or disagreeing with you on some of the comments you're making, and that is manifesting on the abstract plane as a psychic attack.
So I had a few face palm moments listening to this fellow who was a good guy and who meant well, but as a guy who admits openly in his words that he does no research, he's missing a lot of pieces of the puzzle. It's a shame he's not here, actually. So anyway, that's one of my favourite memes.
[28:04] The God Program
Brendan: Another thing he was talking about was this God program idea. So if you go into the collective unconscious, you'll find all sorts of weird s***, all sorts of stuff. You'll find all of the deities we've ever believed in, all of the tribal gods, all of the Christian stuff, it's all there. And one of the things this bloke was talking about was this God program. So, again, he interprets it all as this huge, humongous cosmic conspiracy. Oh, sorry. Humongous cosmic conspiracy.
And the reality is that he's probably just interacting with one of these sentient self-aware programs that is wanting to keep itself alive and running. And that's what they do. That's what the gods and goddesses and the archetypes do. They feed us. They feed their thoughts into the collective mind so that they can self-perpetuate.
Okay, so the God program is definitely alive and well today. It's alive and kicking. I'll read this quote from the Bible because I'm going to tell you about a guy I know who was recently telling me about his experiences. He actually lived out this biblical quote.
So the quote is, "And the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of cloud to lead them the way, and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, to go by day and night. He took not away the pillar of cloud by day, nor the pillar of fire by night from before the people." That's pretty impressive.
Now, my friend, who I won't name, because he's a good guy and he's a Christian bloke, I'm not a Christian. I don't want to seem to be trying to take religion away from people or put it down. I'm giving another way of looking at things here, a different way of seeing. So this is something he's never considered.
The God program is alive and well, and the Christian God is very alive and well because he's still got, what, how many billions of believers right now, keeping him very well fed. So he actually experienced the pillar of fire and smoke. He's actually seen this manifest in this lifetime a matter of years ago. So it's still going. It's still functional. This stuff isn't just this passive sort of memory or information stored in the collective. It can manifest. And we're going to talk about the Jesus thing too.
[30:40] Collective Hypnosis and Messiah Complexes
Brendan: So this quote is particularly pertinent from my friend Nick's book, regarding the way we are collectively hypnotized. "They weren't allowed out of that holding pattern, that belief and mental structure trapped in a cul-de-sac in the jungle. It wasn't that they couldn't see or think laterally, they weren't allowed to. It was like some stage hypnosis performance that was going on on a global scale."
So that's what it does. It hypnotizes us and beguiles us. And for these people who go into the astral realms and the out-of-body and they go looking for aliens and trying to find our alien overlords and stuff, it's very, very hypnotic and beguiling. And whatever they're experiencing seems absolutely real.
Just quickly, the idea of, has anyone heard of the demiurge?
[unclear]: Yep.
Brendan: Okay. Well, I'm going to skip it. Bugger it. Only one person put their hand up.
So, have you ever met someone who's got the sort of messenger of God complex or a Messiah complex? I had an email from a guy not that long ago who was telling me that his interdimensional alien friends had selected him to give humanity a message. And they selected him out of everybody because he was the chosen one or the special one or whatever.
And this guy's a genius, but he's also one of these sort of astral types who is taking his internal experiences of these, quote, alien beings completely at face value. If you step back from it, it's so obvious that he's actually being played and manipulated by something in the collective unconscious that's keeping him hypnotized because it wants him to be loyal and feed those thought forms with energy, and invest in it. So it was quite interesting to get that sort of email.
I really can't believe that people actually are still succumbing to this Messenger of God or Aliens program. It's quite amazing. So they're out there, and it's because what's happening in the collective unconscious is very beguiling. It's very powerful.
[32:58] The Jesus Program
Brendan: So even Jesus can't look. The Jesus program is still alive and well. I'm not picking on Christians here, by the way. I insist on everyone having the right to pick their religion or lack of religion. [section omitted] You can't be free and have forced or mandatory. It's one or the other.
So the Jesus program is alive and well. And one of the things it does, and I'll give a mate who was talking about the cosmic alien conspiracy and who thinks he's being targeted by it all the time some credit, because he did point out that the Jesus program is, first of all, still functioning, but it shows up, as he pointed out, when people are at their lowest, at their lowest ebb, when they're broken and they're hopeless or maybe they're terrified or something. It shows up to be the saviour, the rescuer.
And it sort of does this thing with some people, and it did with him. It showed up and said, come with me, follow me, like the whole I am the light and the way kind of routine. And he told it to bugger off, basically. So you can't do that. He may be going to hell, but you can't tell Jesus to bugger off, because it's just a program running in the collective unconscious.
I'm not going to get into the debate about the historical Jesus figure or whatever. I'm just saying that whatever we have believed in over time is there, stored as this sentient thought form program in the unconscious, and Jesus is no exception. So the Jesus program.
[34:46] Aliens, Animal Consciousness and Thought Forms
Brendan: I would ask the question, are some aliens, quote aliens, actually software programs representing the collective minds of certain animal species? So you may have heard about the reptilians. Well, are some, and I'm stressing some, not all, are some of these encounters actually encounters with Animal Consciousness, like we're tapping into the reptilian consciousness? Are we tapping into mammalian consciousness when we encounter something that seems, I don't know, Leonine or dog-like, or when we encounter in our virtual reality internal world one of these avian beings, is it actually a manifestation of the Bird Consciousness? Sometimes. I'm not trying to debunk aliens entirely. I'm just giving you a different angle on certain things.
And Electronic Intelligence. Some of you, if you could experience yourself on multiple other levels, some of your other selves on those interdimensional levels would actually be aliens. They would be, it would manifest as a praying mantis or a reptilian or whatever. Or it would manifest, you would interpret it as a kind of electronic intelligence. So it gets pretty weird. It gets pretty weird. So there's all sorts of artificial intelligence. I consider thought forms to be artificial intelligence.
[36:10] Chakras as Alien Implants
Brendan: Chakras. Are they evil alien implants? This is catching on. There's a bit of a bandwagon for this one. You could go into a few different angles of looking at that question. You could go, oh, well, it's a vortex, or it's this and that. I could break it down from different angles, okay, the question of are they evil alien implants.
But I would prefer just for our purposes to pull back a level and look at it as another iteration, a development on this sort of strange narrative that's been building in the collective mind about the alien overlords and these interdimensional beings. It's only come out relatively recently, so if you pull back and take a wide view, you can see how things are actually developing and how these programs are trying to turn themselves into these mini religions. They're trying to make themselves into these amazing, rigid, all-powerful sort of belief structures. And this chakras as evil alien implants thing is, to me, just another iteration on the story that's been developing over the recent decades. So I wouldn't stress too much about it.
[37:35] How Psychics Have Perceived Me
Brendan: Okay, so my brain's not fully functional yet. I've been sick for the last couple of days. I'll give it a shot. This is about me, and I'm trying to illustrate a point here.
So, over the years, I've had numerous readings with some pretty talented psychics. Had one recently with a talented psychic. And I'll give you a breakdown on how they perceive me when they go into their internal realms. This is what has come out, basically, and this is a short list, a very condensed short list.
One woman told me that I was a super advanced alien from beyond the known dimensional spectrum. A guy who's quite a well-known public figure in our circles told me that I was Christ Consciousness straight from source. A couple who we were friends with until a couple of years ago, they were doing something different. They weren't operating as true psychics. They were doing this weird thing where they thought they were talking to Source or God or whatever through their hand. And the information they were getting through their hand was that I was the Ascended Master Hilarion, Lord of the Fifth Ray.
Pleiadian has come up. I've lost count of the number of times someone has made a Pleiadian connection for me. One of the guys I was talking about earlier who thought he was a messenger of aliens, he said to me, oh, you're a Pleiadian. I've never met a Pleiadian before. All right.
A very talented psychic healer lady said, well, you're a seraphim. You're the fiery ones. You're as close as you can get to God before you become God kind of thing. Recently, a talented psychic lady gave me this Pleiadian, Andromedan, Syrian, and Lyrin kind of thing, plus the rest, and she's legit. And possibly in the room.
So I just want to be clear that I'm not dissing people. I'm just pointing out, oh, another one recently said I was a warrior like Archangel Michael. So again, that Seraphim Archangel kind of thing keeps coming up.
So the point is that when people go into the internal virtual worlds, they're picking up on something. There's something there, there's information there, but it's manifesting or appearing slightly differently for everyone. So interpretive work in this kind of realm is actually essential. And it's essential to keep a step back from it so that you don't actually think that you are the Messiah.
[40:19] Keanu Reeves and the Matrix Synchronicity
Brendan: So here. To illustrate the point of what's going on here and the way... Jeff enjoyed that. If you see any resemblance between me and this guy, it's probably not a coincidence. Now, if we had our photos taken by the same photographer in the same lighting, and I'd grown my hair a bit more, my beard more, the resemblance would probably be uncanny.
My point here is that, like I was saying with Philip K. Dick and his ideas, his stories would be pumped into the collective unconscious and then they would play themselves out in people's lives and people would find themselves living his stories out in fine detail.
The Matrix movie, which Keanu Reeves starred in as Neo. I'm just trying to gather my thoughts here. I haven't looked at this for about four days because I've been sick. He plays this messiah kind of figure, the one. He's the one. Neo is an anagram for... Not an anagram, what's the word? Neo means new. Neo is new. Sorry, it's Latin, isn't it? Neo, Latin for new. Anyway, that's what it means. So he represents new consciousness, and he's coming in as this kind of Messiah figure in the Matrix.
Now, why am I talking about a doctor's surgery on the slide here? I'm going to try and show you how the unconscious likes to sort of send you messages sometimes. So with me, the Keanu Reeves thing keeps coming up all the time with people. They're like, oh, has anyone ever said to you, remind me of Keanu Reeves?
And so we walked into, me and Aimee walked into a doctor's surgery one day. And I think this was for my back or something. And anyway, so we sit down. There's one guy in the waiting room besides me. Only one bloke in there. And we're sitting waiting and the lady at reception calls out. She goes, oh, Brendan? And both of us look over, me and this other bloke. And it turns out his name was Brendan as well. And I thought, oh, that's pretty random. Both Brendan, we're the only two blokes in the building and we're both called Brendan. How about that? So anyway, at that point, it's just a coincidence or whatever that could happen.
And then the nurse comes out and she's got this student, med student with her, who's learning on the job kind of thing. And what's his name? Well, it's Keanu. And I'm like, oh, this is ridiculous. Brendan, Keanu and Brendan. How? That's freaking ridiculous.
So it's one of those little synchronicities where the collective unconscious is kind of telling you, it wasn't a high level. Synchronicity, I don't consider it even remotely high level, it's quite a low level one, but it's kind of like an amusing little confirmation that, oh, that's how it perceives me, still. It's kind of trying to get me to play this one role, be the messiah, the saviour.
And one of the interesting things about Neo in the film is that, have you noticed, he doesn't have a belief system? He doesn't have a belief structure. There's a scene, I think it's the second or third movie, where he rocks up outside his room, to the door of his room, they're in Zion underground, and there's all this paraphernalia, people have put flowers and religious icons like Buddhas and stuff all around his door, like welcoming him and paying him homage, and he doesn't have any of those belief systems.
He is the one. He is new Consciousness. So anyway, Keanu and me are linked. That's how the collective seems to want me to act or whatever.
So you can't take it all too seriously, because the collective unconscious is kind of like a child. If you look at our overall development, we're in a bit of a messy state. We're not particularly advanced. You could say some of us might have just about reached adolescence at best. And so the collective unconscious definitely reflects that condition that we're in. So it's kind of like a child.
And my friend Nick, who wrote It, Blue Angel Night, sorry, Blue Angel Night, who helped me to get a grasp of this stuff quicker than I would have otherwise. Oh, damn it, what was I saying? Just massive train of thought just crashed.
Conference: Yeah, thanks.
Brendan: That's right, thank you.
[45:05] The Unconscious and Higher-Level Synchronicities
Brendan: So, one of the things he was pointing out was that the unconscious hasn't even had a level of self-awareness until quite recently. He reckons that it became self-aware around about 2011. So one of the things, oh, do I have time?
Conference: Yeah, probably.
Brendan: We'll see how we go.
One of the weird, a higher-level synchronicity that I did have was through my book. Nick and I have both been pegged by the unconscious to play a similar kind of role, right? One of the things that it seems to be lacking is, there's no good words for it, but a leadership kind of role, like managerial, like managing s*** to go in the right direction.
So Sam and Brina are the main characters in Nick's book. And I was contacted by a guy not long ago whose name happened to be Sam. He basically gave me a rundown of his life story, and one of the things he wanted to do for years, he was travelling the world, he was having lots of experiences and insights and stuff, and one of the things he wanted to do was write a book that was like an encyclopedia of consciousness and the paranormal and all that stuff, and show people what he'd learned. And then he found my book, which had already been written, and he realised that I had done what he was wanting to do, only better, as he put it, if I do say so. But he actually was like, okay, at that point, I don't need to write this book because it's been done.
That's one of the things that it's doing. If you've ever heard of the simultaneous inventions, like people having the same amazing insight on other sides of the globe, especially back before we had electronic communication, this kind of stuff actually does happen. It's because it's emanating from the collective unconscious, and it gets an idea in its head. It's like, okay, you need to do this. You need to do that. I want you to be Neo. I want you to write a book. Do this kind of stuff.
And so Sam and Breena, in Nick's book, It, they are the main characters. And Sam, who contacted me through email, the guy who wanted to write a book like TGI, like The Grand Illusion, it turned out that his partner's name was Breena. Yeah, yeah. So for some of you, that hit immediately. So it's crazy, right? Now I can see how I'm actually living certain elements of Nick's book, Blue Angel Night. So it's quite crazy. It's amazing how this stuff plays out. Meanwhile, Nick's living certain elements of Philip K. Dick's work.
So, one of the things that Nick did, and the reason Nick came across my book, was he put a call out. He realised that he had this unique ability to pump a lot of psychic influence into the unconscious and sort of get it to do things. And it manifests in crazy, crazy synchronistic stuff, which, if you want to read his book, you'll get the details on that. He realised he had this ability and he put an instruction out to the collective saying, put me in touch with someone else who has this kind of ability. And so through a series of synchronicities, my book showed up and he was like, oh, okay, this is a dude, cool.
And unfortunately, he doesn't think there's that many others. He thinks there's not enough of us, basically. So what we're kind of doing through this work is just encouraging the mass consciousness to develop and evolve and really do the responsible and logical thing and get back to what makes sense. So Sam and Brina, Brendan and Aimee, the Blue Fairy.
[49:02] How the Unconscious Communicates
Brendan: So how it communicates, yes, high-level synchronicities is one way that it really loves to do things on a grand scale. It likes symbolism. It can manipulate world events and make things happen. Planes disappear or whatever. Channelings, it loves to pose as God, it loves the God game. A lot of channelers think they're talking to something amazing and it's sort of hoodwinking them essentially. And some contact experiences. I won't say all, because I do believe deep down that we are in contact with a lot of other civilizations.
But the question is, if you're having internal kind of experiences, how do you know what's what? How do you interpret that? And also knowing that the unconscious can physically manifest as a being or a UFO or something like that, then that really throws a spanner in the works, because then it's like, well, how do you know what's what? How do you know what you're actually experiencing here? And if you get on board one of these crafts, is what you think is happening really happening?
[50:07] Memes, Fundamentalism and Modern Medicine
Brendan: So I just want to point out some of the ways, I want to talk about memes quickly. Memes are basically belief structures. Memes are like the thought equivalent of genes. And memes just basically want to replicate and survive.
So just to illustrate some of the ways, using a specific example, with civilization we've got this idea that our model or way of doing things is the right way and everyone should live like that and there's no other valid way, basically. And that, my friends, is called fundamentalism. So that meme actually lies at the heart of agriculture, which gave us civilization. This is particularly, according to, I'm taking a sort of Daniel Quinn kind of take on this. So agriculture laid the foundation for civilization. Civilization, absolutely the greatest invention we've ever come up with. We can't ever do better. And then we had the Bible. I'm not saying civilization caused the Bible. I'm just giving you a way that this particular meme has shown up and been transferred through different structures and different human activities.
So the Bible, well, the one true God, the one true holy book, and this is the only valid way, and we're going to burn all the witches and all that sort of stuff. The Inquisition, that just kept passing right on down through the ages and actually manifested in modern medicine as well. Has anyone noticed that, the fundamentalist tendencies in modern medicine now? Yeah, there's one, yeah, Mariana, Amy, yeah. Cool, yeah, don't be shy.
It's become a religion unto itself. And Dr. Robert Mendelsohn, yeah, Mendelsohn, he pointed out in the 70s, maybe in 79, so going back decades now, he pointed out that even then it had become a religion. Okay, so you'll know that if you've really done your homework like I've been doing and Aimee's been doing as we're building the online university portal. We've been working on the health and medicine faculty. So if you've done that work, you'll see. Modern medicine operates basically as a radical monopoly. It's not just an ordinary monopoly. It's crushing its competition. It's crushing its economic competitors. And it's this fundamentalist attitude of our way is the only acceptable way and we will destroy all others.
So I won't dwell on that too much. You know your government has failed when grandma reaches for the slingshot. I don't want to reaffirm certain ideas or possibilities, but if you've been paying attention, you've probably noticed we're heading in that direction with Australia's government and medicine in particular.
[52:43] Legacy Programs
Brendan: Legacy programs. So legacy programs are like the memes I was just telling you about. They're programs that have stuck around for a long time and they're still alive and functioning and kicking today. So again, mainstream medicine has this thing, right? I'm going to quote from John McKnight's essay. He says, "The essential function of medicine is the medicalization of politics through the propagation of therapeutic ideology." The ideology basically amounts to three points. One, the basic problem is you. Number two, the resolution of your problem lies in my professional control. And three, my control is your help. So it's unilateral. It's the decision of the helpers in behalf of the helped. Medicalized politics is the control of clients.
Now, if you look at the medical inquisition, sorry, the medieval inquisition, slip of the tongue. It's exactly the same psychology. It's a precise mirror. So as I've formulated it, one, the basic problem is you, the sinner. Number two, the forgiveness of your sins and potential absolution lies in submission to my infallible priestly authority. And number three, my control is your salvation. It's exactly the same psychology as we see in fundamentalist medicine. And that's a legacy program.
[54:05] Conspiracy by Incompetence
Brendan: Okay, cool. A lot of what goes on is, the world is run by a lot of different conspiracies. It's not necessarily one overarching, very neat and tidy conspiracy. It's more like a s***load of different competing conspiracies by all sorts of different psychopaths and sociopaths. I call that phenomenon conspiracy by incompetence, because a lot of what we see is low-level stuff. At the managerial kind of level, where people are blinded by greed and economics and stuff, that's where you get the conspiracy by incompetence. They create an effect that looks like it's a coordinated, deliberate, conscious conspiracy, but it's actually simply the fact that they're so friggin' blind and dumb that they are destroying themselves and us in the process.
Nick says in Blue Angel Night, "It was difficult to understand why people were being kept so ignorant, though so controlled. He could see now how powerful the programs were at keeping them that way, staying naive and blind on so many levels." You could say it's all one big conspiracy just on a grand scale. It's an unconscious one with no logic or plan, driven by our collective mind.
[55:20] Making the Unconscious Self-Aware
Brendan: So this is what we need to do. We need to simply keep plugging away at our belief structures and letting them go. Jettisoning beliefs is just about the most important thing I think we can do right now. Communicating with it is also something you might like to do. I would recommend doing it cautiously and compassionately because you're essentially dealing with a child. And if you get it wrong, like Nick has done, as you'll read if you read Blue Angel Night, it can be quite unpleasant. It can lash out.
So anyway, we need to make it self-aware and teach it to do the responsible thing, which means making us aware and us doing the responsible things.
Okay, so it's a miracle, but I've timed this perfectly. Wow. I haven't looked at this for four days and I didn't time it either.
[56:17] Healing Ourselves and the Collective Unconscious
Brendan: So healing ourselves heals it. Healing ourselves heals the collective unconscious, all the wounding in the unconscious. Some of the things, I'm not going to go through all this and dwell on it, but one of the things that I do is I use sound-based DNA activation. DNA activation, that is a very powerful tool. Some people have taken me up on that and a lot of them have had really mind-blowing experiences. Yeah, do take shots of the screen. Or jot things down if you've got a notepad and pen.
We need to get back to the earth, connecting with the earth. Plant medicine can be very helpful with that, stuff like tobacco and ayahuasca and all these things, fun things that make you vomit for hours and whatever. We also need to really look at going beyond civilization. So I think it's complete bulls*** that civilization is the greatest thing we've ever come up with. And quite frankly, if we continue with that delusional belief, we are going to destroy ourselves. If we continue with the idea that civilization is the greatest thing ever, we are f***ed.
We need to do shadow work, we need to heal the pain body. There's all sorts of different tools for that. One of them is DNA activation, soul fragment retrieval, and energy psychology modalities. The mic's dying on me a little bit. Stuff like emotional freedom techniques. All of these things are ways that we can heal ourselves and the collective unconscious so that it's not so fond of sabotaging us. These are some of the tools.
[57:52] Closing and Where to Find More
Brendan: Okay, so I hope this has been useful. I hope I've not sounded too snotty and blocked up and stuff. I'm going to let you know about Global Freedom Movement and the Global Freedom University that we're building at the moment. That'll probably be going live in a few weeks' time. The website is globalfreedommovement.org. And if you want, my website is brendandmurphy.com. You can buy my book there. I've got a few copies over there on the table, so feel free to come and grab one.
Jump on the mailing list of Global Freedom Movement or Brendan D. Murphy. Either way, just jump on the mailing list and we'll keep you informed of what's going on and where we're at. And thank you very much for your time, guys. I hope it's been useful.
