Cognitive dissonance occurs when the
subconscious perceives
a logical inconsistency and
fails to suppress it.
The ensuing emotional reactions,
experienced as anxiety,
guilt,
shame,
anger,
embarrassment,
stress, and other
negative emotional states, surface
after consciously avoiding
self-awareness of personal behavior by
refusing to acknowledge contradictory
ideas, concepts and beliefs.
The theory of cognitive dissonance
proposes that people have a
motivational drive to reduce dissonance by one of two opposing methods:
1) they may change their
concepts,
beliefs and
behaviors,
or
2) they may
justify their ideas,
beliefs, and
behaviors.
Cognitive
dissonance theory is one of the most influential and extensively studied
theories in social
psychology.
Factions use
propaganda in the
hope of creating unity around their focus of interest.
Popular
movements only come into being when the triumvirate of control -
governments,
corporations and
religions - fail to meet
needs of the people.
When
people's ideas are
consistent with each other - unified - they are in a
state of harmony, or
consonance.
MICE culture theorizes cognitions
of apparently unrelated pattern matches are categorized as irrelevant and
therefore do not lead to dissonance.
On the surface
this appears true but hundreds of millions of
prescriptions of
anti-depressants suggest otherwise.
A powerful cause of dissonance
is when a repressed memory
conflicts with a fundamental element of self-concept, such as "I am a good person,"
"I make the correct
decisions" or "I can get muddle
through this."
The anxiety that emanates from having made a
erroneous decision leads to
rationalization of
justifications.
Someone who just spent too much money on a new car
has already convinced herself that the new vehicle is much less likely to break
down than her old car.
This belief may or may not be true, but it will
reduce dissonance making the mark
feel better.
Dissonance may lead to
confirmation bias and the
denial of disconfirming
evidence.
Dissonance theory leads to the conclusion that humans are
rationalizing but not rational beings.

This web site is not a commercial web site and
is presented for educational purposes only.
This website defines a
new perspective with which to engage reality to which its author adheres. The
author feels that the falsification of reality outside personal experience has
forged a populace unable to discern propaganda from reality and that this has
been done purposefully by an international corporate cartel through their
agents who wish to foist a corrupt version of reality on the human race.
Religious intolerance occurs when any group refuses to tolerate religious
practices, religious beliefs or persons due to their religious ideology. This
web site marks the founding of a system of philosophy named The Truth of the
Way of the Lumière Infinie - a rational
gnostic mystery
religion based on reason which requires no leap of faith, accepts no
tithes, has no supreme leader, no church buildings and in which each and every
individual is encouraged to develop a personal relation with the Creator and
Sustainer through the pursuit of the knowledge of reality in the hope of curing
the spiritual corruption that has enveloped the human spirit. The tenets of the
Truth of the Way of the Lumière Infinie are spelled out in detail on
this web site by the author. Violent acts against individuals due to their
religious beliefs in America is considered a "hate crime."
This web site
in no way condones violence. To the contrary the intent here is to reduce the
violence that is already occurring due to the international corporate cartels
desire to control the human race. The international corporate cartel already
controls the world economic system, corporate media worldwide, the global
industrial military entertainment complex and is responsible for the collapse
of morals, the elevation of self-centered behavior and the destruction of
global ecosystems. Civilization is based on coöperation. Coöperation
does not occur at the point of a gun.
American social mores and values
have declined precipitously over the last century as the corrupt international
cartel has garnered more and more power. This power rests in the ability to
deceive the populace in general through corporate media by pressing emotional
buttons which have been preprogrammed into the population through prior
corporate media psychological operations. The results have been the destruction
of the family and the destruction of social structures that do not adhere to
the corrupt international elites vision of a perfect world. Through distraction
and coercion the direction of thought of the bulk of the population has been
directed toward solutions proposed by the corrupt international elite that
further consolidates their power and which further their purposes.
