How to Take Over the Planet in 7 Easy Steps

By Andy Harrison

Imagine you were 7 years old and your mom told you that you couldn’t have any of the cookies that were in the jar on top of the fridge. You really wanted the cookies so you decided you would create a plan to get the cookies anyway.

The What

You first step was to get your mom to focus on something else while you were stealing the cookies so you had one of your friends call on the phone and keep her busy with a prank call while you snuck into the kitchen.

The Why

The next step was to come up with a cover story to explain what you were doing in the event you got caught during any step of the process (going into the kitchen, climbing up to on top of the fridge, carrying the cookies away etc). You decided you would tell your mom that you were creating a care package to give to a homeless family that you heard about on the news (she’d have to go for that- who would get in trouble for being so altruistic?).

The Who

You also decided to invent a scapegoat to explain who took the cookies in the event that you didn’t get caught in the act. You decided you would blame your younger brother and you made a plan to take one of the cookies and crumble it up in his room to leave damaging evidence.

The When

You would also needed to make sure that your scapegoat story was plausible by making sure your younger brother had plenty of opportunities to steal the cookies so you made sure to call your mom out of the kitchen several times the day before, leaving your brother alone near the cookies.

The How

You also needed to make sure it was plausible that your younger brother could actually steal the cookies. Knowing that he wasn’t tall enough to climb up on the counter to get to the top of the fridge, you made sure you left the step stool out near by.

Where

Also in the event that you didn’t get caught in the act, you would need an alibi for where you were during your younger brother’s supposed theft of the cookies. You already had this covered from the many times you had called your mom away from the kitchen the day before.

Backup

Just to ensure that your cover stories worked, you convinced your older sister to go along with your plan by offering to give her some of the cookies. You got her to back up your stories by saying that she saw your younger brother with what looked like chocolate on his face the day of the supposed robbery.

So now you work your plan and you get the cookies.

So how did this work? It worked because you made sure to cover all the questions that would come up – the what, the why, the who, the when, the how and the where. You had a plausible fake answer for each of these questions. Then you had someone else back up your fake story.

As long as humans have plausible answers to these questions (or sometimes just a few of them) about an event, they can believe a given story.

You’ll notice that even though you had planned out answers for all the questions, in reality you probably would only need to use a few of them to get away with stealing the cookies.

Now imagine you are all grown up and part of a small group of people who wish to steal control of the planet. Using the same 7 point plan you used when you were 7 years old, what would you do?

The What

You would get the people who would be apposed to your plan to focus on something else while you were in the process of stealing control of the planet. (News and entertainment from the main stream media which you control)

The Why

You would create a cover story for why you were doing what you are doing in case you get caught in the act. You would spin this story to make you out to look altruistic. (United Nations Agenda 21)

The Who

You would invent scapegoats to take the blame for the events. (Terrorism, global warming, over population)

The When

You would make sure your scapegoats had ample opportunity to be the cause of the events. By choosing mostly concepts (i.e. terrorism, global warming, over population) instead of specific people, the scapegoats themselves can’t be questioned. You simply get people to buy into the concept and that’s it.

The How

You would make sure it seamed plausible for your scapegoats to actually be able to create the reason for the planet being stolen. (False flag terror attacks, fake statistics from “experts”)

The Where

Also in the event that you didn’t get caught in the act, you would need an alibi for where you were during the time when the planet was stolen. You would need to keep yourself out of the public eye by focusing people’s attention on someone else. (presidents, congress, world “leaders”)

Back Up

Just to ensure that your cover stories worked, you would need to have others back up your story. (paid “experts”)

You would need to control as much of what people heard and saw as possible. (control of the main stream media  and S.O.P.A. and now C.I.S.P.A. to take control of the internet)

Tempo

By Andy Harrison

When I first started playing guitar back when I was 11, I started out mostly playing by myself, learning chords etc. After awhile I learned a few songs and I felt like I was getting better.

A friend of mine from school who was learning to play the drums heard that I was learning the guitar and he invited me over to “jam” (If you don’t know, “jam” is the official term for musicians playing together, often times without a formal plan-just for fun).

So I took my borrowed cheep electric guitar and starter amp over to my friend’s house anticipating how great we were going to sound.

About 2 songs into our jam session, I realized something wasn’t working. For some reason the songs that sounded pretty good to me when I played them at home sounded horrendous when playing them with my friend. We weren’t syncing up. He was playing a different tempo than I was playing and I wasn’t following him (“Tempo” is another word for the speed at which you play a piece of music). We tried a different song that my friend knew really well. Same thing. It sounded horrible. It felt horrible.

It wasn’t long before I realized that there was another skill I needed to develop before I could easily play with other musicians – the skill of paying attention to what the other instruments were playing while I was playing my instrument.

By being able to have some of my attention on what the other instruments were doing, I could adjust and sync up so we could all be playing at the same tempo. As I worked at it, I became better at putting some of my attention on what the other instruments were playing and speeding up or slowing down as needed to stay at the same tempo as the other instruments I was playing with.

After playing with several bands with musicians who all had developed the skill of paying attention to the other instruments, making music with other musicians became much more enjoyable, fun and easy. When we were all playing in the same tempo, the life inside the music would just jump out and magical unexpected moments would occur that surprised everyone. It was effortless and full of wonder. Whenever one person got out of tempo, we could feel it immediately.

Now this is probably going to sound really cheesy but hang with me on this. Isn’t this exactly how life works too? I mean the way events unfold in your life each day – from when the telephone rings to what you decide to do next to what you say when you’re talking to someone. All of the little events and tiny decisions you make throughout each day have a flow to them – a tempo.

Each little thing has an effect on all the other things don’t they? Like whether or not you decide to hit the snooze button one more time has an effect on whether or not you are rushing to get to your first appointment which has an effect on the state you will be in when you get there which will have an effect on what you decide to say and do during your appointment which has an effect on the outcome of the appointment and so on and so on.

Every tiny detail is woven together in a tempo. You are either “playing” at the same tempo as your life or you are rushing ahead of it or lagging behind it.

Sometimes you have some influence over the speed for a moment. Sometimes it is someone or something else. To stay in tempo with your life you need the skill of paying attention to what the other “instruments” are playing and to make small adjustments by speeding up or slowing down as needed to stay at the same tempo. You need the skill of putting part of your attention on what else is happening while you are doing your part. You have your part to play that naturally fits with all the other parts. It can feel enjoyable, fun and easy as long as it’s in the same tempo as the other parts.

We all know the feeling of what being out of tempo with our life feels like. In fact I feel that most of my life between the ages of 7 and 40 was spent almost entirely out of tempo with my life. It feels hard. It feels heavy. It feels like a struggle. It feels like things don’t work.

On the other hand we’ve all had at least glimpses or periods of time when things all clicked. When life felt easy, like we were flowing with everything else that was happening and synchronistic events just happened magically. I think this is what being in tempo with you life feels like. I think we all are already playing in a band everyday and if it’s not feeling enjoyable, we are simply not paying attention to the other instruments and playing at the right tempo. J

Regardless of how you feel about the people behind the current financial, governmental, corporate and social systems that have been in place for the past 100 years, you have to marvel at these people’s ability to design incredibly effective systems.

If you understand how all the above mentioned systems work together and were designed to produce specific results, the designs, in my opinion, are nothing short of miraculous. These systems have been producing very effective consistent results for the people that designed them for over 100 years.

Of course now we can see these systems potentially starting to break down and the designers taking bold actions to try to preserve them.

I’d like to suggest that the reason these systems are potentially starting to fail is not due to their design; it is in fact due to the intentions of the people who designed them.

The systems themselves have worked tremendously to produce results. The results they were designed to produce however seam to be the reason for the break down.

Can you imagine a world where we make use of this knowledge to design incredibly effective systems but the intended result of the new systems are to help all of humanity and the planet?

Perhaps the positive contribution that the people that designed our current systems will ultimately make to the world is their contribution in showing us how to build incredibly effective systems.

The 3 underlying forces in nature:

1)    The force of destruction

2)    The force of maintenance

3)    The force of creation

For more on this visit: http://www.yogabasics.com/learn/the-3-gunas-of-nature.html

All 3 forces are present in every thing in nature including humans. Humans have a unique ability to alter the amounts of each of these within ourselves and our environments simply by what we put our attention on.

The force of destruction takes over as a default whenever we don’t put enough of our attention on something or when we put too much attention on something. For more on this visit: http://www.andyharrisonmusic.com/understanding-balance-in-7-bullet-points-2/

For example if I don’t clean my kitchen counter for 2 weeks the force of destruction will become obvious with all the dishes and grime that would pile up. Likewise if I become compulsive about cleaning my counter and scrub it everyday for 4 hours, the Formica (or whatever it’s made of) will start to wear off and the force of destruction will again be apparent (not to mention the neglect to other areas of my life because of my compulsive cleaning).

The world is fucked up because a small group of people have found ways to benefit from the force of destruction. They have set up intricate systems that provide them material benefits from humanity putting not enough attention or too much attention on things. These systems encourage people to shift their attention in ways that bring out the force of destruction on our planet and in the process provide the people who set up the systems a constant flow of material benefits and further control (simply the ability to continue to do this more easily and to a greater extent in the future).

For example (I’ll use the cleaning metaphor again). So if I continue to neglect my kitchen counter let’s say for months, the grime and dirt might become so great that I can’t get it clean on my own and have to hire a cleaning company. Let’s say I don’t have the extra money but because I want to move to another apartment without loosing my security deposit, I put it on a credit card. Now every month that I keep that balance I pay interest which requires more of my energy and focus each month to attempt to earn the money to pay not only the original amount but now the interest on top. If I don’t put a significant amount of focus on paying that bill, the interest keeps adding up and I get further behind.

Same thing might happen if I were a compulsive cleaner and put too much attention on cleaning and wore a whole in my kitchen counter. I might have to have the Formica replaced and put that on a credit card.

This is an example of a system set up to benefit from the force of destruction operating in my life. I triggered the system because I didn’t put enough attention on cleaning my counter or I put too much attention on cleaning my counter.

These systems are everywhere and are designed to take advantage of this natural law. We ultimately have a tremendous amount of power over our own lives and the future of the planet because most of the time we can decide where we put our attention. Simply being aware that the systems are there and are not put in place for our benefit is a good starting point-don’t you think?

 The brain is just an organ in your body. Just like your liver, your heart, or your stomach it has a specific job to do.

The brain’s job is to put edges on things. Period. (Yeah O.K. there are different parts of the brain and some of them do all sorts of other stuff like regulate your heart rate and hormones etc. but for practical purposes it might be useful just to think about your brain’s job as simply to define things- or put edges on things.)

This is your greatest tool and your most destructive parasite depending on when you choose to use it.

Have you ever finally made a decision that you feel 100% great about after a period of uncertainty? Didn’t that feel wonderful to finally have resolution and be able to move forward? Didn’t it feel like you suddenly had much more energy and things started to flow again?

This is an example of you using your brain as a tool. You put edges around reality so that you could focus your energy for a specific purpose.

Haven’t you also had the experience of feeling frustrated by things not working; like everything you were doing just made things worse but you felt a compulsion to keep going because it was the only thing you knew how to do at that moment? Didn’t that feel terrible? Like you were trapped in a tunnel of frustration and anxiety and nothing you did seemed to bring you closer to getting out?

This is an example of your brain using you. You kept acting on the edges that your brain had already put around reality even when those edges no longer brought you the result you wanted.

So what to do? The quality of your life is mostly determined by how well you develop these 2 skills:

1)     The skill of putting useful edges around reality

2)     The skill of taking away all edges around reality

The faster that you can switch between the two, the more flexibility in living you have and the more accurate the edges you create will be. This is resistance training and acceptance training simultaneously. Learning how to quickly assess a situation, know what you want and start taking action when that is appropriate, and also learning to quickly let go of all previous edges when what you are doing stops working and you need updated information about a situation (ie. a reality check).

How do you know when to do which? Whenever you feel less than great might be a good starting point (ie whenever you feel like shit). Your emotions can act as a warning to either put some edges on things and start moving or to take all the edges away so you can hit the reset button on your mental map before you redefine things.

These are skills you can practice everyday. Life will bring you continual opportunities to practice these 2 skills whether you want them or not.
