Does social programming destroy free will?
I am questioning the possibility to develop consciously on this planet, especially if living in western societies.I do not see the problem as a lack of basic human intelligence (which is naturally low on this planetarian level), but as the consenquence of social programming. Conscious will is crucial for this evolutionary process. But here comes the catch. The subconscious mind is in most cases stronger than the conscious mind and has tremendous influence on it. And soon after a baby is born, the bombardment by all sorts of misprogramming messages starts with the media of cartoons, movies, commercials, brainwashed parents and so on. Believe it or not, even cartoons have subliminal messages... And all these messages have the same purpose - to program the subconscious mind to develop: not thinking for yourself, following authority mindlessly, accepting illogical artificial fear as something natural, an aimless urge to gain wealth and all other nonsense that is in conflict with human nature, hence ruining the psyche. With the aid of poisonous enviroment and overfeeding babies, we have created the perfect recipe for creating a living, but consciously dead human, a person deeply faithful to a stupid belief system, the total opposite of the yogic ideal(being liberated from false beliefs).I am saying that while the link between the material reality and the Astral body is being established (in the first few years of life), the subconscious mind is extremely suggestive (proved by scientific research) and thus vulnerable. Nowadays this is being abused on a major scale, so there is very little chance to start developing consciously.Some time ago I could not comprehend how some (even young) people can actually read inspiring books, like for instance Freedom of Choice or Thiaoouba Prophecy, but still remain the same, not even a little intelectually provoked, now I think I am getting near to the key of mistery. We cannot blame them for being ignorant, it is social programming that destroys free will before an individual Intellect even gets a chance to start using it.What is the point in all of this, was not the human designed to develop intelligence and not suppress free will? Why would the GI create a system that produces living zombies and makes so much work for higher selves to filter nonsense?Does this not this ruing the main plan?

Not at all. The Free Will is one of the very few things in the Universe that is never "destroyed". As soon as people grow up, they CHOOSE to remain uninspired and believe in nonsense. People CHOOSE to avoid thinking about the Reality of the Universe and the meaning of life. People CHOOSE to avoid questioning the brainwash and deceit "to avoid trouble". Have you ever wondered WHY they are allowed to make such ridiculous choices? Their attitude is never challenged by GI isn't it? Isn't it an indication that their free will is not taken away from them?
The main plan is to LET those who are unwilling and/or unable to appreciate conscious resources given to them to experience all consequences of their own attitude and destroy themselves as soon as possible, for the benefit of everyone else in the Universe. This allows The Conscious Universe to be a self-perfecting system. Please read this article for more details.
