I made some other notes which didn’t fit into previous responses on this thread, but I thought they might be worth including on their own.
I personally break down some of the conspiracy theories in circulation into two general lists...
List A: Conspiracies Rejected
-Fake Moon Landing (Some of my thoughts here: https://cassiopaea.org/forum/index.php/topic,14915.msg257350.html#msg257350 )
-Flat Earth
-Hollow Earth
-Chemtrails (-Not that there aren't some types of deliberate spraying going on, but in a large part the observations claimed to be part of this particular conspiracy theory I think have more to do with recent atmospheric temperature changes than secret military efforts.)
-Lizards wearing human disguises, (British aristocracy are all lizards).
-Alien Space Brothers (They love us, they
really love us!)
-Planet X/Nibriu is a moving, hollow planet filled with aliens coming to intercept Earth.
-Actors used in high profile shootings/bombings rather than people being injured or killed.
-Jesus died for our sins and rose from the dead. (Let's kiss snakes and speak in tongues! Hallelujah!)
List B: Conspiracies ‘Confirmed’
-UFOs aren’t just airplanes, man-made satellites and Venus
-Aliens (or hyper-dimensional beings) are real
-Alien Abductions do happen
-Crop Circles weren’t all hoaxes
-Underground bases and tunnels exist
-Mind control is real and on-going
-False Flags happen.
-Vaccines cause harm
-Animal fat is good for you
-Tobacco smoking can provide health benefits
-Banking cartels are real
When you read through those two lists, you’ll note a ‘flavor’ difference between them.
Column A contains ideas which seem to me to be more cartoony, indicating an unrefined understanding of the world which misapprehends a host of basic things, such as spatial relationships and psychological realities.
Column B contains ideas which, when you dig into them with any modest degree of investigation, turn out to fit into the same every day regime of impressions and physical expectations we live with all the time. The ideas are only outlandish until you realize that they are not really. Being in a secret underground tunnel is probably no more astonishing than being on a regular subway train.
Even the hyper-dimensional high strangeness stuff makes sense when you start working with the concept of 4th Density and altered brain states. When you read through the hundreds upon hundreds of accounts from various authors reporting on numerous periods of history, a homogeneity to the data spread and qualitative aspects emerges. Even the weird stuff percolates down into common pieces which fit neatly into Objective Reality and its rules as we are learning them.
Of course, we all understand the world as a set of representative notions. We can’t contain an
actual tree or a mountain in our brains; we can only carry around the
idea of one, mental representations, or as I might call it for the sake of simplicity, a mental
cartoon.
As we age and learn, our set of cartoons evolves and solidifies, can become with effort, more detailed and more accurate illustrations. -If we allow ourselves to be wrong with grace when new, more accurate information comes to light, then the process of idea evolution speeds up, the pictures become more and more realistic in describing the external cosmos.
If a person’s understanding of the “Vastness of Space” or “How planets work” is drawn in crayon and hasn’t really been updated since childhood, then there is nothing to stop that person’s mind from accepting the idea that Nibiru is a big planet with a trapdoor in the front and aliens inside who are flying it on a collision course with Earth.
Or that the Queen of England is a lizard wearing a rubber human suit.
-When I was a kid, I remember believing that the running shoes on a particular TV ad could really, truly give one the ability to jump over cars and trees. They showed it right on the TV! It was exotic and magical and I really,
really wanted to believe! So I nagged my poor mom until she took me out to a store to try on a pair, ignoring her protests, (I knew better and I wasn't listening!), and of course was sorely disappointed to discover that a pair of running shoes wasn’t going to invest me with super powers. It was a heart-breaking lesson, but the cartoon I carried in my head of physics, shoes, -and of what advertising and adults were capable of saying to make a buck, was loaded with a huge burst of updated information. My cartoon of reality became a little less crayon and little more pen and ink.
The more refined one’s set of mental illustrations of objective reality, the more able to comprehend what is and is not actually going on in the world, what is possible and what isn’t.
I think for some, this process happens more slowly, or perhaps certain elements people actively resist letting go of. -And I also suspect that the higher mind takes many lifetimes to become acquainted with the process, to store up its lessons in the form of instinct. That’s a part of it.

Q: (L) Now, my memory for dates and times has always been, at best, a little vague. But, lately, it has been really bad. What is the cause of this loss of ability to keep a sequential record of what one does, who one sees, etc? It is really strange.
A: It is not strange. As one "ages" the illusion of time passage begins to deteriorate because your "higher mind" begins to understand the illusion.
One particular quality of the Human Experience is that of the illusion of reality starts off strong and then fades over the course of a lifetime.
-Children are invested with the ability to believe the most amazing things. Movies and stories absorbed early in life can have profound impact, shaping entire decision trees. -Then young adulthood is often filled with the overpowering concept of Love. Love! -As in all the most saccharine Love Songs- with the chemical/mechanical aspects remaining only vague concepts, thought of (if thought about at all) as somehow unrelated to the technicolor WOW of being 18 and in love. This same illusory world also allows for Big Dreams, of fame and fortune, or of utopian ideals, etc.
“The young think they are immortal!” -This is SO true, but we only really understand what this phrase, (which bears the vague aroma of insult to the young), actually
means when you well and truly find yourself deep in adulthood.
And all of this is, I suspect, by design; it’s the seduction of this reality. That experience of overpowering illusion is the reason we pay the ticket price, one of the reasons we forget, and why we keep coming back for more. -And also, I am beginning to think, why people glare at you and try to shut you down when you start openly talking about the ins and outs of Objective Reality. It messes up the illusion. “Harshes the Vibe” -Like.., if kids are playing
“The Carpet Is Red Hot Lava!” (Stay off it, and climb only on the furniture) -and you enter the room to explain to them, “No. It’s just carpet. Grow up. You idiots.” -You’re not going to be well loved for that.
The illusion of reality becomes easier and easier to break out of as we build up experiences over life. And also.., as we build up experiences over many
lives. -The more times we go on the Human Body ride on Planet Earth, the easier it is to slip off it.
I think the Rubber Suited Lizard Queen of England believers are just deeper and more recently arrived in the illusion.
That’s another way of thinking about it, anyhow.
