George Gurdjieff had two aims: 1) to investigate from all sides, and to understand, the exact significance and purpose of the life of man, and 2) to discover, at all costs, some manner or means for destroying in people the predilection for suggestibility which causes them to fall easily under the influence of "mass hypnosis." We continue our discussion of this fundamental aspect of his work, its arising in a time of war and revolution, and discuss the parallels found in the teaching of Don Juan Mateus as recounted by Carlos Casteneda. Laura Knight-Jadczyk looks at the concept of the "petty tyrant", again an idea that comes from a period of war, the Spanish conquest of Mexico, and we see how it is applicable today. We, too, face a world of petty tyrants, the global pathocracy. How can the teachings of Gurdjieff and Don Juan help us today?

Where did the teaching of George Gurdjieff come from? What were his aims? Laura Knight-Jadczyk discusses some clues left by Gurdjieff in his book "Life is Real Only Then, When 'I Am'". Gurdjieff's first aim had been "to investigate from all sides, and to understand, the exact significance and purpose of the life of man." To that was added a second, an aim that still has great relevance for today: "[to] discover, at all costs, some manner or means for destroying in people the predilection for suggestibility which causes them to fall easily under the influence of 'mass hypnosis.'"

For this podcast we go to the mail bag, which can be found on the Signs forum at: http://www.sott.net/signs/forum/viewtopic.php?id=133 where you can leave your suggestions for podcast themes. This week we discuss mind control, from the media telling you what They want you to hear, passing by what is known as Greenbauming and the making of Manchurian candidates, and finishing with a look at the real use of HAARP. We end the podcast by discussing the relationship of mind control to the cyclic castastrophes that hit our planet with more regularity than the powers that be would have us believe -- another form of mind control.

What does it take to be able to kill a child, or a hundred children? Or to burn them alive and tear their bodies to shreds. Day in and day out. Could you do it? Some people don't give it a thought for they are without conscience. Meet the psychopath. He probably runs your country, may run the company you work for or be your direct boss. He is definitely in charge in Israel. He is the invisible enemy of humanity, invisible because he comes in all colours, shapes, and religions. He is aware of his difference from the rest of us, and is working to eliminate as many of us as he can in order to preserve his power. The real New World Order is the Pathocracy. It is already here. This week we look at war crimes in Palestine and Lebanon and the people who order them.
