Who Shapes Our Consciousness? | The Truth Hurts, Ep. 103

The conversation

You can quote what they taught you in school, but when was the last time you asked whether it's true? The way Gili sees it, the same hand that shaped our education system also shaped the medicine we trust without a second thought, and the money in our pockets. This isn't a conspiracy theory. It's documented history, from Rockefeller to today. The question isn't who is to blame. It's how you start thinking again and listening to your own inner voice.

The truth

Gili says that the school we know, with its classrooms, its bell and its tests, was built at the beginning of the 20th century on a factory model, in order to produce disciplined workers, not to teach people to think.

She argues that the Rockefeller family stood behind the Board of Education that redesigned American education, because as she sees it, industry needs workers who know how to obey and not to question.

The Flexner Report of 1910, which was funded by Rockefeller, determined what would count as scientific medicine, and in doing so took homeopathy, herbal medicine and holistic medicine off the map, leaving only petroleum-based chemical drugs.

The same family also stood behind the founding of the American central bank in 1913, which in her view turned money into debt and interest into profit, a model that she sees as enslaving consciousness through fear and scarcity.

An education that teaches you not to question, and a health system that teaches you not to trust yourself. Together the two systems produce people who are easy to control, because they don't trust their own inner voice.

Questions and answers

What is the Flexner Report, and why do people say it changed all of medicine?

As it's described in the episode, it's a document from 1910 that was presented as scientific but was in fact funded by the Rockefeller family. In her words, the report determined what counted as medicine and what didn't, and everything that didn't serve the industrial interest, homeopathy, herbal medicine and holistic medicine, was defined as unscientific. As a result, she says, many schools of natural medicine closed, and what remained was mainly medicine based on chemical drugs.

Who actually founded the Federal Reserve, and why does it matter to me?

In 1913 a small group of people, Rockefeller among them, founded the Federal Reserve. They created a model in which money is debt and interest is profit, so that the economy became a force most people live under without ever knowing who built it, or why.

How do I get out of this consciousness that somebody else designed for me, and start thinking with my own head?

The first step is learning to think again: to question things, to ask without being afraid. The second is to listen to your body and your intuition, and to understand that pain is a message, not a malfunction to be silenced with medication. It also matters to notice who is telling us the story, and to listen to the people who light us up and make us bigger, not to the ones who frighten us and make us smaller.

Gili's original episode description

Who taught us to think? Who designed the system we call "reality"? Who decided what education is? What health is? What's normal? And what's "scientific"? And maybe most important of all, who profited from our thinking in one particular way? This isn't a conspiracy theory. This is history. This is a system. This is consciousness.

A hundred years ago there were a few very powerful people who understood one thing: whoever controls consciousness controls reality. They built systems. Systems build habits. Habits build beliefs. Beliefs build reality. And here we are, free people, born inside a reality somebody else built.

When we were little we were taught that school is where you learn math, Hebrew and history. That you come to the doctor with a pain and he fixes your body. That money is a means. That television informs you. But the truth runs deeper. These systems, education, medicine, the economy and the media, aren't only services. They shape consciousness. And in the twentieth century they were designed to produce a certain kind of human being: obedient, dependent, ready to consume, and less attuned to the light inside. Because people who don't trust themselves are easy to control. People who are afraid of making a mistake find it easier to obey. People raised on exams go looking for someone to tell them they're "okay." People who never learned to listen to themselves won't learn to push back. And that's how a world was created in which we're sure we're "free." But real freedom isn't out there. It's inside. And these systems were designed precisely to weaken the inside.

Education that produces obedience, medicine that produces dependence, an economy that produces lack, and media that shapes our emotions: together they create one uniform collective consciousness. A consciousness that believes there is no other truth beyond these frameworks, and in the process misses that inner spark, the truth every one of us carries: the divine spark.

I don't deal in conspiracy theories. In what I believe, there is a Creator, and He has made, makes and will make everything that is done, and He is good and does good. It's just that we've forgotten the founding principle of creation: free choice. the Creator can't decide for us, because that would contradict the principle of creation. He's waiting for us to wake up and understand what wondrous and powerful beings we are. Waiting for us to stop behaving like sheep.
