Is the black lodge the origin of the (assumed) global conspiracy to control the masses and the worlds physical wealth? I'm confronted with many conspiracy theories, and my personal response has been 'so what?'. I have to make the assumption that whatever power the black lodge has over humanity is allowed to a certain degree by the white. Therefore the only duty we have is to work on ourselves internally. Am I correct? In other words, there is no outward resistance against the black lodge (reptilians and what have you) that will be of any value. Am I speaking complete nonsense here, or does this resonate?

The worst conspiracy is inside our own mind. When we fail to perceive and consciously work upon the secret triggers of wrong action within our psychological interior, we in turn contribute to all the madness, misery and pain that abounds in our afflicted world. Therefore, while it is good to be aware of the negative forces at work throughout our exterior, none of that matters in comparison to the work we must produce in relation to dominating our own mind.

Mind precedes phenomena. We become what we think. -Buddha

If, with mindfulness' rope,
The elephant of mind is tethered all around,
Our fears will come to nothing,
Every virtue drop into our hands.

Tigers, lions, elephants, and bears,
Snakes and every hostile foe,
Those who guard the prisoners in hell,
Ghosts and ghouls and every evil wraith,

By simple binding of this mind alone,
All these things are likewise bound.
By simple training of this mind alone,
All these things are likewise tamed.
-Shantideva, The Way of the Bodhisattva, 5: Vigilant Introspection 3-5

As for extra-terrestrial reptiles wanting to take over the world... that is silly. WE are those reptiles! :o

Joyful in hope, suffering in tribulation, be thou constant in thy prayer.

Benedictis, qui venit in nomine Domini. Osanna in excelsis.

"Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest!"

I understand and appreciate your response. I'm sure the 'scales' will fall off of my eyes someday.
