The Greatest Scam
The Self as the Engine of Control Hoax.
The illusion of the self..
What you call "I", "ego", or "mind"..
Is the crowning achievement of centuries of manipulation.
Contrary to what most believe, the concept of the self did not emerge naturally or organically. It was invented. Governments, religions, and elites not only perpetuate this illusion; they birthed it, nurtured it, and weaponized it. The self is their creation, a meticulously crafted construct designed to enslave, control, and perpetuate their power under the guise of individuality, free will, and spirituality.
The greatest deception in human history is not only that humans are deceived into believing they possess a self but that they are entirely unaware of who implanted this lie. To dismantle this illusion is to expose the entire machinery of control.. Built on nothing but smoke and shadows.
The Invention of the Self
The Historical Creation of "I"
Before the invention of the self, human animal beings existed without this fabricated concept. The "I" did not always signify a central, autonomous entity. The Ancient Greek & Roman word ego, now loaded with psychological and spiritual significance, once referred only to the subject pronoun, "I". With none of the metaphysical baggage we associate with it today. To contrary of what many today may think.. In Ancient Greek & Rome, ego, the word for “I”, was NOT used frequently in speech or writing at all. Some people in Ancient Greek and Rome might have used it in daily speech as needed, though literacy and formal language were actually limited to a small portion of the population only, the elites. The masses were illiterate and didn’t posses much vocabulary. In English, the words "self", "mind", and "ego" evolved only within the last few centuries, acquiring meanings that aligned with emerging systems of control.
Who introduced these ideas? The elites.. Philosophers, theologians, and early psychologists.. Seized upon language as the primary tool to convince humanity that it was a collection of thinking, feeling individuals, each with an eternal soul or personal identity. Terms like psyche (spirit/soul) and geestkunde (the science of the spirit) originated in Europe and were deeply interwoven with religious and occult ideologies.
The Role of Institutions
Religions declared that the soul was the seat of morality, and governments tied the self to responsibility and law. From the Church’s promotion of eternal salvation for the soul to Freudian psychology’s insistence on the unconscious mind’s influence, these constructs served to cement systems of authority. The self, as a concept, became a necessary cog in the machinery of control.. Convincing individuals that they were separate, autonomous entities with agency, guilt, and obligations.
The Purpose of the Self: The Ultimate Control Mechanism
Self as Surveillance
The concept of the self is the perfect tool for control. Why? Because it creates an internal overseer. By convincing people they possess an "inner self", those in power ensured that individuals would self-regulate, disciplining themselves to conform to societal norms, laws, and religious doctrines. The result? A population that polices itself, requiring minimal external enforcement.
Self as a Commodity
The self is also the greatest product ever sold. Entire industries.. From modern psychology and self-help to consumerism.. Capitalize on the illusion of self-improvement. The more fragmented people feel, the more they seek to "fix" themselves, feeding the coffers of those selling therapies, ideologies, and products.
Self as Separation
The concept of the self isolates. It divides humanity into individuals, preventing unity and fostering competition. This fragmentation serves the interests of those in power, ensuring that collective resistance is impossible because everyone is too consumed with their own "journey".
The Role of Thought in Perpetuating the Illusion
"I Think, Therefore I Am": A Fatal Fallacy
Descartes' famous declaration.. "I think, therefore I am".. Did not uncover truth; it installed a lie. It began with a false premise:
That there is an "I" to do the thinking.
Thought itself is not the product of an individual mind but a process.. Automatic, mechanical, and conditioned by external forces. The belief in a thinker behind the thought solidified the illusion of agency, anchoring the self as an undeniable "reality".
Thought as Noise, Not Insight
Thought is not a tool for understanding but a symptom of programming. Every thought that arises is the byproduct of neural and cultural conditioning, not evidence of a sovereign self. To identify with thought is to fall deeper into the trap, believing the chatter of neurons to be the voice of an autonomous "you".
The Elite’s Masterpiece: The Industrialization of the Self
Psychology: The Science of Control
Modern psychology, born from religious and occult traditions, institutionalized the self. Early psychologists like Freud, Jung, and others didn’t uncover truths about human nature; they built narratives to entrench the concept of a psyche or mind that could be analyzed, dissected, and controlled. Psychiatry evolved as a means of pathologizing deviation, labeling dissent as "disorder", and justifying intervention.
Consumerism: Selling to the Self
The industrial revolution didn’t just create goods.. It created consumers. Marketing and advertising capitalized on the illusion of self by appealing to identity and ego. "You deserve it.".. "Express yourself.".. "Be the best version of you.".. These slogans prey on the insecurity baked into the concept of a self that must constantly improve, acquire, and compete.
Dismantling the Illusion: The Path Beyond the Self
No Self, No Control
The truth is this:
There is no self.
There is no autonomous agent behind thought, action, or experience. What we call "I" is nothing more than a narrative spun by language and cultural conditioning.. A mirage maintained by those who benefit from our belief in it.
Awareness of the Machinery
The first step in dismantling the illusion is to see the machinery for what it is. Recognize that thoughts are automatic processes, not reflections of an inner self. Realize that identity is a script uploaded to you brain, not something inherent or real.
Reclaiming Freedom from the Illusion
Freedom from all this crap, does not lie in finding a better version of the self.. It lies in seeing that there is no self to perfect. By rejecting the concept entirely, the control mechanisms that rely on it crumble. Without belief in the self, the narratives of guilt, shame, responsibility, and competition lose their power.
Conclusion
The self is the greatest invention of power.. A construct born from language, nurtured by religion, and weaponized by elites. It is the ultimate illusion, binding humanity to cycles of fear, ambition, and control. Recognizing the self as a fabrication is not an act of rebellion; it is an act of liberation.
To dismantle the illusion of self is to expose the entire framework of control that has dominated humanity for millennia. There is no "I" to improve, no "ego" to transcend, and no "self" to free. There is only the machinery of illusion, spinning endlessly until you choose to see through it.
PS: If this work burns through the noise for you, consider fueling the fire:
Not for charity. Not for fluff. Just to keep the demolition sharp and uncensored.
