What better prison can there be than the mind, for nothing else can keep a prisoner within his or her jail cell when the cell door is wide open. With the right conditioning where you are taught to love your servitude, you may be aware of the cell walls, you may not need cell walls if your mental conditioning is complete. Philosopher Jeremy Bentham was a contemporary of Reverend Bell, and while Bell was in India Bentham traveled to Russia to visit his brother and travel with Prince Potemkin. On this two year journey Bentham conceived of a humane prison he called the Panopticon, a penitentiary designed to allow each prisoner to be viewed at all times from above. Complete surveillance at all times.
Aldus Huxley, author of the dystopian novel A Brave New World, summed up the theory succinctly.
“A really efficient totalitarian state would be one in which the all-powerful executive of political bosses and their army of managers control a population of slaves who do not have to be coerced, because they love their servitude.”
If you are fearful of roaming without your yoke, you are less likely to struggle to break free. For men and women, their mind is their most powerful gift and the most dangerous weapon when used against them. Severed Conscience, the mental state where we are cut off from our instincts and faculties that enable us to think and experience our environment, is the prison where we are held captive.
Our last episode was Technology. In this part of our series titled Controlled Environment, we are turning from our examination of Intrusive Technology and examine how technology, science of the mind, and other elements are used in concert to create a prison where every aspect of our lives will be managed.
We have been manipulated. Severed Conscience is a prison of the mind.
