How Authority Makes You Think Something is TRUE
(that may NOT be TRUE)
by
Robert Farmilo
Let's define the word "authority."
Being in touch with the meaning of a word can help you to make a transition from a murky feeling about an idea pegged to the use of specific words---into that sudden insight that clarifies the context of a word within history. Here is a strong and crisp example:
Take a look at the word "Holocaust." Throughout my life, I thought the word simply meant the attempted extermination of Jews by the Nazis, culminating in the Final Solution of the Third Reich.
I was truly amazed to later discover the actual meaning of the word. This word was dipped in a historical relevance that touched my consciousness from pole-to-pole, and lit up my brain with that sudden, "Aha! I get it!"
Here's what happened: I was reading a version of the Holy Bible that had Spanish on one page and English on the other. This way I can read in Spanish and then check to see how much I am really understanding...in English.
And I was plowing through the Old Testament---which in many ways is my favorite part of the Christian Bible---I came across in the Spanish part...this word (in Spanish) that kept being used in the books of Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy:
HOLOCAUSTO
And when I read the English counterpart...wow! This is what I saw:
BURNT OFFERING
In one clear moment, I got it. Decades of assumption about the real meaning of a word and term were given a clarity update. The cultural connection from a religious ceremony steeped in history thousands of years old became integrated with the co-opting of the word and term "holocaust" by the denizens of historical correctness.
The attempted genocide of Jews (and others) by the Nazi regime and their proxies...was being tied to sacred Jewish religious ceremonies from long ago. And in this way, many Jews became burnt offerings.
When I explain the meaning of the word to other people, I can see for some that it also hits their own context button. You might also get zapped with the sudden connection between the accepted modern meaning of the word and the origin of the word---the religious significance, the tying in of race and custom to a word that has come to mean attempted genocide.
But in fact the word has another meaning, outside of the current version of the meaning of The Holocaust.
So WHAT?
IF I told you that The Burnt Offering period of the 20th Century was a terrible stain on the modern history of society...you might get the overall meaning, and make the connection with The Holocaust---purely by inference. But you might not understand the deeper meaning of the term, and how it is used (perhaps ironically) to express the murder of millions of people, and then the disposal of their mortal remains by burning the bodies in the gas ovens.
Hey Robert, that's great, and thanks for the insight...but what the bleep does this have to do with respecting MY authority?
I am glad you asked.
From your very infancy you are programmed to swallow fact, quasi-fact, faux-fact, and fiction...as being truth. It's just the way it works.
You are given implants that go deep into your mind, and start to sprout roots, and take up space in your consciousness. And in the case of the Holocaust, many people in Germany were trained to think that the Jews were bad people who deserved to be scape goats.
And that is another term that is taken from the Bible...scape goat.
This wasn't restricted to Germany.
The Jews were thought of as bad people by many, many Christians...all over the world.
And it wasn't just the Jews.
IF you are a negro in many countries of the world, it is possible you will encounter distinct and obvious race hatred. And within any society there are groups of people who are somehow not okay, not as good as "us."

Like aboriginals.
Which is another word made up of other words, and comes to mean something different than it actually does mean. Hmmmmm. So?
What does the word "aboriginals" actually mean?
What does the word "aboriginals" actually mean?
Original Inhabitants
Yes, indigenous, native, earliest...and most of the time what people do with this word, inside their heads, is to lump a person into a concept of what the whole of the group is like, and then project that onto the individual person. So the person is ALWAYS going to be the same as the opinion you have of the entire group.
Well you can imagine what aboriginal minorities think and feel about the classic White Settler...the colonists...who came along and took what they wanted from the original inhabitants of any given territory.
I know that the ideas that you have about most things have been shaped by the Authority Figures in your life. And for most of us, this flowed from our Survival Figures...those people most important to you---who literally controlled your survival and well-being.
Authority and Power
What I love about the word "authority" is how it contains another, original word, which is AUTHOR. Being an author means that you are the author of something...you wrote a book about something or other, and you are an authority on that something or other. You are the author.
But for most of us, that is NOT the meaning of the word authority. Sure, I am authority on specific subjects...like how to make a half-decent cheese burger. Or how NOT to end up with a big dribble of fixings all over my nice, clean shirt while I am gobbling that burger. (I've had a lot of practice with both skills...and so I gradually became a recognized AUTHORITY on these subjects.)
And quite often the word POWER gets mixed in with the concept of AUTHORITY. Like the idea of the Authority Figure...might be a police officer, a school principal, your boss...and even The Great Leader, like The President of your Great Nation.
These two words can sometimes be interchangeable...or seem to be. Here is an example of how confused I can get around this idea. Let's look at the word...
...GOD!
You might be one of those people who don't believe in God. Maybe you don't think that God exists or ever existed...and that it is a made up idea---peculiar to various types of people who need a crutch to get through their day...and their lives.
God might be something that HAD to be invented to bring some kind of meaning to the long-standing questions, like, "Where did the universe come from?"
OR...maybe God was invented to allow the few to control the many...via assumed power and authority by way of being in direct contact with God (or Gods), or part of a organized group that practices rituals and ceremonies that ONLY a select, elite part of said same group can perform on behalf of the entire group...like your priest, rabbi or mullah are the ONLY people who can marry you and Sally-Sue...or Billy-Bob.
OR the Officiant at the courthouse...or the Captain of a ship.
They are all Authority Figures, right?
AND we LOVE to have authority, don't we? I know that I do! It's awesome to boss people around, and see the fear cast a shadow over them...as they confront MY power...the power that I have over THEM because I have authority...given to me by...?
Respect MY Authority!
What this all means is that you can have powerful implants put deep inside your awareness---and this will construct many of your beliefs and attitudes towards people, places and things. It takes real personal strength to examine your own ideas and beliefs, and to taste-test each one...to find out what is your own, true construct---AND what is someone else's "stuff."
You can end up carrying someone's baggage...from generations ago. And it isn't even yours in the first place.
Which brings up the idea of the original thought...the original idea. Can it be possible that you can EVER have an idea or opinion that is original---FREE of influence from the ongoing chain of past ideas and beliefs?
That is why Authority Figures exercise so much influence over you and yours. They must be right, right? After all...they are The Authorities...right? When the medical doctor tells you something about your health problem...you're gonna believe it more than someone who is NOT a doctor.
Right?
And I can use an authority figure to influence your choices and decisions because I can borrow their expertise by linking my sales-pitch to...hmmmm, a really rich guy...and how to become a really rich guy...like the really rich guy I am pointing to. I use the authority of the really rich guy to influence you to decide to do something that I want you to do...like invest in some business scheme...or to buy some product.
I can get you to change your route of travel by putting some person in a uniform, next to a few traffic cones...and all they have to do is hold up a stop sign, and tell you that you have to turn around because the bridge is out.
The old saying that people believe what they want to believe is very much a great and powerful truth.
To get you to do something...IF I use the magic word "BECAUSE," I am making a strong implant into your mind...when I attach a reason to that word---BECAUSE that does something to people. It is a BE plus a CAUSE...because it is another word made up of other words. And now you are starting to see something that wasn't there before...BECAUSE I am giving you an explanation with a reason attached to it.
And the reason doesn't have to be all that amazing for this process of borrowing authority to make you do something that I want you to do. Maybe the term "make you do something" is a bit too strong. Influence might be a better way to put it.
Do YOU Want Personal POWER?
I can get you to do something by using POWER to force you to do something you don't want to do. I can literally apply physical force to make you do something you don't want to do, like get up and work in the hot sun for hours and hours. IF you don't do what I want...I beat you until you do it. I hurt you. And out of fear of being hurt...you do what I want...because you don't want to be hurt anymore. OR you don't want me to hurt someone you care about.
I know that power and authority can seem to be pretty much the same thing...and that one flows through the other. You can't have authority without some power to give the authority some sort of leverage.

The Story of YOUR Enslavement
I included the above video because I wanted you to decide whether you agree or NOT with the main idea touted in...this video. The main idea is that you are enslaved by The Elite because you are valuable to them...and that human capital is the most valuable commodity to own and direct. AND that this can all happen because you are AFRAID of being killed, beaten, caged and so forth.
Now, here's the thing...I have some chickens and roosters in a pen, and they definitely have a structure of power and authority---a pecking order. And this order is maintained through the deliberate use of power by the ruling elite within the chicken pen.
There was an original group of hens and one rooster, and recently I added some new hens and one rooster to the original group...and low and behold, the original group runs the pen. The new members are afraid of the original members.
What's really intriguing about all this?
The new members outnumber the original members...and are younger and stronger, too. But the original members are absolutely certain that they are the ruling class...the elite chickens and rooster. And they just won't back down...ever. And they are reminding the new members of the pen that they are in charge...by pecking at the new members.
The new members immediately give way. There is fear at work. Pure physical intimidation. And it works.
I see power and authority being used not just by human beings...but also by other creatures we share the planet with. AND to get you to do something...I can influence your decision by using the position of power and authority vested in me by...oh, I don't know---pick your example.
In the case of this particular project...the purpose of this and all my articles...is to drive you to the offer of getting the FREE book...with the hope that you will be influenced to BUY the book...OR send money...that I can use to influence more people to get the book.
And the authority I am borrowing is a doozey! No less than God...because I am telling you that God wrote the book.
YES! You read right...
God wrote this book, word-for-word.
God wrote this book, word-for-word.
How is that possible?
How can a figment of your imagination write anything? Let alone an entire book? And to use contemporary language and style, too? IMPOSSIBLE, right? Certainly implausible.
But there it is...the claim that it is true...God did write a NEW BOOK, and you can get it for FREE.
Part of the pitch is that in this book, you will learn directly from GOD how to have clear, precise, two-way, TELEPATHIC, ongoing contact with...GOD!
Wow!
And that you don't even have to believe in God for this to work?
Yes, that's right---you don't need to believe that it is possible...or that there is a God or there are Gods.
So join me for the next article in this series about Power and Authority to learn more about how you are being manipulated, influenced, controlled, forced, and enticed into making choices that are maybe NOT really your own, true, pure choice. Basically, you wouldn't do "it" IF you knew how you were being played.
Like marching off to war...to help keep your country safe from EVIL...or to kill the infidel...or...that God is on OUR side. And isn't it just so wonderful that the word YOUR is made up of OUR and YOU?
That's it for now.
All the BEST!
