We must awaken to recognize that we exist in a mind-controlled reality in which every single human has been oppressed, traumatized and derailed from expressing their true spiritual blueprint, as the Controllers attempt to prevent mass awakening and spiritual ascension on the earth.

We can begin only by reforming ourselves. To make general demands for social and political reform is fruitless.
It would, therefore, be quite wrong to connect the demands of esoteric schooling with any external demand for reform or even political change. The education of the spirit has nothing to do with such things.
Political activists generally know what to ask of other people, but they hardly ever talk about asking anything of themselves. As esoteric students, we must find the middle ground between following the demands of the world and doing what we see as the right thing to do.
We must not force upon others something that they cannot understand, but at the same time, we must be free of the urge to do only what those around us recognize and approve of.
Only the inner voice of the soul, as it honestly strives for higher knowledge, can confirm our truths. Yet we must also learn as much as possible about our environment and find out what is useful and good for it.
And, if we do so, we will develop within ourselves what esoteric science calls “the spiritual scales” or the “balance”—on one of whose trays lies a helpful heart, open to the needs of the world, and on the other, inner firmness and unshakable endurance."

Above all, there should be no philosophy
"In order to stifle any revolt in advance, one must not use violence. Methods like those used by Hitler are outdated. You need only develop such powerful collective conditioning that the very idea of revolt will not even cross people’s minds.
Ideally, individuals should be conditioned by limiting their innate biological abilities from birth. Then, we would continue the conditioning process by drastically reducing education in order to bring it back to a form of integration into the world of work.
An uneducated individual has only a limited horizon of thought, and the more his thoughts are confined to mediocre concerns, the less he can rebel. Access to knowledge must be made increasingly difficult and elitist.
The gulf between people and science must be widened. All subversive content must be removed from information intended for the general public.
Above all, there should be no philosophy. Here again, we must use persuasion and not direct violence: we will massively broadcast entertainment via television that always extols the virtues of the emotional and instinctive.
We will fill people’s minds with what is futile and fun. It is good to prevent the mind from thinking through incessant music and chatter.
Sexuality will be placed at the forefront of human interests. As a social tranquilizer, there is nothing better.
In general, we will make sure to banish seriousness from life, to deride anything that is highly valued, and to constantly champion frivolity: so that the euphoria of advertising becomes the standard of human happiness and the model for freedom.
Conditioning alone will thus produce such integration that the only fear – which must be maintained – will be that of being excluded from the system and therefore no longer able to access the conditions necessary for happiness.
The mass man produced in this way must be treated as what he is: a calf, and he must be kept a close eye on, as a herd should be. Anything that allays his lucidity is good socially, and anything that could awaken it must be ridiculed, stifled, and fought.
Any doctrine questioning the system must first be designated as subversive and terrorist, and those who support it must then be treated as such.”
- Günther Anders, "L’Obsolescence de l’homme" (Ed. Ivréa), 1956

Mainstream media coverage of healing potential of Magic Mushrooms is increasing!
BBC: Psilocybin: Magic mushroom compound 'promising' for depression
Psychedelic drug psilocybin, found in magic mushrooms, is as good at reducing symptoms of depression as conventional treatment, a small, early-stage study has suggested.The Guardian: Psychedelics are transforming the way we understand depression and its treatmentSo why does psilocybin appear to be a more successful treatment for depression than a typical antidepressant? Brain imaging data from the trial, alongside the psychological data we collected, appears to show that while SSRIs dampen emotional depth by reducing the responsiveness of the brain’s stress circuitry, helping to take the edge off depressive symptoms, psilocybin seems to liberate thought and feeling. It does this by “dysregulating” the most evolutionarily developed aspect of our brain, the neocortex. When this liberation occurs alongside professional psychological support, the most common outcome is a renewed breadth of perspective. Psychedelic therapy seems to catalyse a type of psychological growth that is conducive to mental health, overlapping in many respects with spiritual growth.
The study also collected functional magnetic resonance imaging and proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy data, providing some new insights into the underlying neurobiological mechanisms associated with creative ability.
