We are living in interesting times. I write often on the subject of free will—does it even exist and how can we claim it? Our thoughts, beliefs and desires are constantly being nudged, and never more so than during an election year.
If you have not yet read my book, Gotcha! The Subordination of Free Will, I would strongly urge you to do so. The many games played to manipulate our behavior will only become intensified in the months to come. We must learn to recognize the various ploys designed to shortcut our rational processes by appealing to psychological primes and motives. This is the only way we can discover the truth and thereby avoid making decisions based on disinformation.
Gotcha!
We live at a very important time in history and no scholar disagrees with that. The direction of our lives and the future of our children and their children depend upon the choices we make today. It is our responsibility to be informed and that requires becoming familiar with the truth of what really is going on in the world we live.
For more than a century, a silent battle has been raging for the territory of your mind. The weapons are so covert that the masses have remained unaware of their use. So effective are these tactics that even when the victims are told what is happening, and they make some show of being outraged, they nevertheless allow it to continue. Like a virulent virus, the effects are spreading, exerting a stronger control over a greater number of people on a daily basis—and we can only wish this was all just fiction!
In Gotcha! The Subordination of Free Will, Eldon Taylor explores the 24/7 bombardment of information designed to win the hearts and minds of the public. He demonstrates how new sound-bytes are championed into personal awareness, becoming memes of the culture. All of this results in framing and reframing classical positions thereby causing adjustments to personal values and history itself. Your very decision process is being managed and manipulated, and the quest for discovering your real self becomes exponentially more difficult, if not impossible as a result.
Gotcha! exposes the arrival of the Orwellian age in full-blown technicolor. In laying bare the current uses of the many sophisticated techniques, Eldon reveals what it is we need to do in order to avoid allowing others to puppet our thoughts—“What was your last original thought?” Take back your power, take back your hearts and minds, and learn what it means to be truly free!
The Subordination of Free Will
For over thirty years now my firm, Progressive Awareness Research, has sought to deliver empowering tools and technology to awaken the nearly unlimited potential within all of us. Today the most powerful tool is knowledge—knowledge is power! Here’s what some are saying about Gotcha! The Subordination of Free Will:
Richard Rowland, author of Unspoken Messages, wrote, “Where 1984 reached into the future to tell a story of what would happen in the world, Gotcha! reaches into the past and explains how they did it without you knowing it. This is a great read that crosses all interest lines. If you care about this world, you owe it to yourself to read Gotcha!“
Reader’s Favorite wrote, “The relevance, I think, of books like Gotcha! is becoming more and more clear as we progress in our research, in areas like quantum life or quantum biology. Latest results from these areas show the border between things that we used to consider as black and white becoming rather hazy, promoting a rethink on many of our early notions. This is a good book; it prepares one to be in step, philosophically too, with the changes taking place everywhere.”
Professor Emeritus Robert Nunley wrote, “In 1984 George Orwell wrote the classic book that caught the attention of the academic world and most of the reading public. Eldon has shared with us his profound insights and has Taylor made a contemporary essay that illustrates the many subtle and not so subtle ways we are allowing our individuality and free thinking to be eroded. We are being called to assume responsibility for our freedom of thought. You are warned that once you pick this book up and start reading you will have trouble putting it down. Even after you have finished reading it you will flip back to your favorite selections. But we are being called to put down the book and take our individual inventory of our own lives and our own ways we can restore at least a small part of our lost freedom to think. Become more of a sheep rancher and less of a thoughtless hired hand. If Eldon’s latest book has even one percent of the impact 1984 had we will all be the better for it.”
The Conscious Revolution
I urge you to join us in an active consciousness revolution! Become fully aware and awake to what is happening. The average person never notices the maneuvering methods that lead to a state of self-alienation; a state of being that is so much less than what we are; a condition of waking sleepfulness; a way of life that threatens our individual autonomy; and a plan that is designed to lead us like sheep to a less than desirable destination! Are you ready to wake up?
Wishing you all the best,
Eldon Taylor
