As we are doing whatever we're doing there's a battle going on, a war for our mind. The powers of the outside world & the inside world work together for our good & demise. More often the world & our minds will work to destroy us. We become robbed of our dreams, our sanity, our peace of mind, our finances, our reason for living. Life becomes living only because we're alive, yet very dead at the same time. & if we're living only due to being alive, where is the quality?
Man is constantly distracted with this vision he calls "success". He sees what he views success as on television & wants what he sees. As each year goes by, successful people are suicidal, strung out, killed, overdose, flipped out & killed a few people, & the lists goes on. As the visions of success spend up all their money on worthless trash & live just as sad, depressed, stressed, & afraid as the poor, if not more  because they are known as status symbols. Very often we idolize some depressed maniac who is totally out of control on a highway to oblivion.
Man is constantly distracted by entertainment. Sports, television, movies, video games,  telecommunications devices, smart phones, new funky gadgets. He finds himself constantly being entertained by things that do nothing for his personal self improvement, except hinder it. He spends money he does not have to gain access to these temporary relief items. Often his spending per month is much more than his income per month. He has responsibilities but is more concerned with being up to date with the latest craze then balancing out his bills & building his mind.
Man is constantly distracted by responsibilities, he has bills to pay. He has others that depend on him for whatever they depend on him for. He has to buy gifts for cousin, child, parent, nephew, friend, co-worker, girlfriend wife or potential girlfriend. He has to spend his valuable time doing the will of others who need him to do their will. He has to help others when he barely can help himself.
Man is constantly distracted by sex. He wants to have it. He tries to focus on his job, yet is the only reason he has a job sex. If he reasons with himself, he will see so many activities in his life are for the goal of remaining sexually active or fulfillment of sexual desire. His thoughts, goals & actions are all pointed in one direction. Everywhere he goes the media is promoting sex, making it seem like a long lasting event which is always fantastic. Advocacy of being sexually out of control is promoted & those who don't have sex feel complex & often they allow these thoughts to control their self-worth, & their enjoyment of life itself.
As man lives on this planet, where he was born into a prison, a form of involuntary slavery. He does not know how to escape this, he unaware that he is not living in "Free will mind" makes decisions & believes it is him who has made those decision. He claims thoughts that have nothing to do with him, he clings to negative ideals that mathematically form his self image. Even when he fights this, he finds himself constantly resorting to the "jailhouse mentality".
This mentality has one objective, to make man think that being imprison is freedom, & better then freedom through change. When man is freed from this prison, his mind tells him that he should go back into it, it tells him that he belongs in jail & that he needs to stop acting & get back to his cell. His miserable cell, where there is only misery. A cell where there is no door, nor guard, nor gate to keep the prisoner inside, yet the prisoner only sees doors, guards, gates & walls that prohibit him from being anything but an inmate.
Many "free" men stand outside the jail, looking in, believing that which he knows is a lie, which is that life was more enjoyable in the cell. He finds himself desiring to go back, even when he knows the pain that lies inside, a pain which he has escaped. He may visit his cell & realize he was a fool for walking back in, but too very often he takes a seat, & stays in the cell for another certain amount of time. He finds himself going in & out of jail because he believes he belongs there.
Only a few do actually discover freedom. They realize that they have been born into this matrix of self-deception & degradation. He realizes the many devices in which have come against him, to assist him in the acceptance of his false truths, which is the jailhouse mentality. Because he was born in this, & trained by those who were deemed to be wiser then he, there are times he finds himself outside the prison looking in, or inside the prison again, looking out. Yet due to the power of his freedom, he does not stay inside this manner for a long period of time. He gets up, after the thought of getting up & begins to leave, again.
The battle for our minds is to control us. If we are constantly chasing some worthless thing, that we view as our self-value, we are losing the battle. To control the action of a person, control his mind. By keeping slaves ignorant, it gave them no choice but to remain slaves even after proclamation.  He will consume mass amounts of products that get him a temporary high, rather it be legal or illegal. His self worth is based on this thing. His car, many girlfriends, gold chain, how thug he is, how good of a musician he is, or whatever he holds dear to mean his self worth. So in the essence he will never attain greatness.
He will support the New World Order financially by buying it's products. He will not be smart enough to be concerned with the world he & his children live in. He embraces his ignorance, & loves the inner demons that tell him what to do. He bases his entire life by what these demons tell him he is.
The reason he has no free will mind is because the choices he makes are selected from the choices given by his inner demon or false belief system. It's a multiple choice question where all the answers on the paper are wrong. He chooses from a very limited selection of options & believes he is free, yet his choice only imprisons him & increases the level of imprisonment he suffers. He believes he is free & in control, but he is being controlled. He is assisting those who wish to depopulate the planet, & maintain a form of new age slavery. He is submissive to the lower self that is selfish, stupid, horny, destructive & suicidal. This becomes him until he dies. His surrounding lights are shut off, replaced by false visions of success & desolate entertainment.
The battle is to examine every though & cast down those which go against the truth. Not what we believe or feel is the truth. But the truth.
This is the battle of the mind.
