Thoughts

The idea behind the "think-self" brand is to represent conscious, awakened people who have embarked on the path to spiritual freedom. People who can no longer be manipulated and are free from old, hindering conditioning. People with this mindset know that "being awake" is an ongoing process. This helps them recognize visible and invisible deceptions in time and no longer fall for them.

The "think-self" brand stands for "free thinker," free thinking, "the spirit of the now," "present spirit," "being in the present." This mindset is far removed from the manipulation spread in kindergartens, schools, state media, radio, mainstream newspapers, science, films, many books, etc. Because through these institutions and things, we allow ourselves to be conditioned if we are not yet awakened.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832) had already recognized it.

"I saw that to most people, science is only something inasmuch as they live from it, and that they even idolize error if they derive their existence from it."

Self-thinking people have freed themselves from spiritual and physical slavery. These people are also recognized by their good manners, their reserved nature, their presence, their integrity, and their respect for everything that exists.

A self-thinking person is a conscious, awakened person who questions everything and everyone, and views things and events from every possible angle. These are people who are almost always present and constantly reflect on themselves. Because you can only change yourself. Following the motto, "If you want to change the world, start with yourself." This mindset has become more important now than ever before in human history. Because never before have the possibilities for manipulation and conditioning been as diverse as they are today.

Do you know the Socratic idea that all people know deep truths and, when reminded of them or when they hear these truths, immediately recognize them? Common parlance also calls it "gut feeling" or inner wisdom. The primal trust that "I know this is the truth." We usually cannot trust the voice in our head; it is overlaid with manipulations and conditioning, and often we let the voice in our head, our intellect, make us insecure, and then we do what we have allowed ourselves to be manipulated into doing.

It has even become so bad that for decades, dissenting voices who do not follow the mainstream are discredited, fought, suppressed, and excluded. And thereby have lost their self-being, their uniqueness. The awakened, spiritually free person is connected to their inner self and rests within themselves.

Those who have awakened have realized that in almost all areas of our existence, we are mostly influenced and lied to out of profit interests. For this reason, it is so important to be yourself if we, as individual, unique people, do not want to be completely pushed off the stage and go extinct.

Otherwise, soon there will only be spiritually unfree people and "system stooges," mindless beings, living zombies who parrot everything, imitate what is dictated to them, and question nothing and no one. Supervised thinking, so to speak, that no longer has any individuality. But individuality is precisely what defines being human, as are good manners, for example, table manners and respect for everything that is.

"Self-thinking" has been taken away from the vast majority of people for decades, primarily through the mass media by the state. That is why the mass media also bear the nicknames state media or corporate media.

Friedrich Schiller once said it with the following words.

"What is the majority? The majority is nonsense. Understanding has always been with the few."

Today I would replace the word "understanding" with consciousness.

Thomas Jefferson, the third American president (1801-1809), also said it over 200 years ago with the following words.

"Only falsehood needs the support of government; truth stands by itself."

So, even over 200 years ago, people were already being lied to. The word "Staatsgewalt" (state power) could today also be replaced by mass media, mainstream media, state media, or corporate media.

That's why it's so important to pull the plug on your TV and radio if you want to become spiritually free. I took this step in 1990 and gave away my TV, canceled all mainstream newspapers, and stopped listening to the radio. Since then, I've lived healthier.

Of course, there are also all sorts of lies and confusing, manipulating articles on the internet. Here, the offering of nonsense that no one needs is one of the largest. That's why it's most important there to carefully choose which information you truly need.   

Anyone who believes they can escape manipulation, propaganda, and lies by constantly allowing themselves to be manipulated is mistaken. The following sentence expresses this very well.

"If a lie is repeated often enough, the spiritually unfree person believes it to be the truth."

This is then called supervised thinking. Then one is a conditioned person who has lost their individuality and uniqueness.

If it weren't so, the advertising industry, which spends billions of euros annually, wouldn't exist, precisely because repetition of anything influences, manipulates, and conditions.

I wish you an exciting time in your existence as a human being. Leave the spectator existence and enter the playing field of life; we look forward to you. Life is a game, play it.

Sincerely,
Wolfgang
