What is Mind Control ? Mind Control is the use of subliminal techniques to control a person's actions, mind state or thoughts. Subliminal techniques may include the use of words or language in a variety of fashions, visual stimuli, a combination of different stimuli, the intentional use or misuse or deprivation of information, electronic stimuli techniques, such as brain wave machines and e-weapons, the deprivation of basic human needs, such as sleep and food, the use of emotions to manipulate thoughts (such as guilt or fear), hypnotic techniques or suggestions, rituals or role plays meant to induce suggestible states, the use of certain drugs, other techniques to induce a meditative mind state (like meditation) or specific movements or motions (like spinning). A combination of these techniques may be used. Please note that some of these techniques can also be used by an individual to help themselves in these more suggestible states, like meditation or brain wave machines.

Latin translation of the word government?

Govern essentially translates to 'control' and ment means 'mind' -- control of the mind, or perhaps- in context, control of the many. Depends on context and translation. ============================================================ From my collection of (hard-copy_ dictionaries, English and Latin: govern - (O.F. governer, L. gubernare, to steer, guide, from Gr kubernan. to steer) Gobernare means to steer or guide. I remember in my Latin translation days that 'gubernator' could mean 'navigator' .... And of course the addition of "ment" just turns the verb into a noun. Nothing sinister? I don't think you can make that jump regarding the addition of 'ment' to mean 'control of the mind, or control of the many'. I don't think that it is connected to 'mens', it is just used to turn a verb into a noun... cf attach-ment, announce-ment, establish-ment, enforce-ment, contain-ment, encourage-ment, attain-ment, adorn-ment, defer-ment, etc etc


How can you control your mind?

One way to control the mind is silence. The moment we shut off our five senses, and still our movements, the mind will still wander but it will slow down. As we slow down the pace of the mind, it will reduce producing thoughts like a popcorn machine. Slowly and steadily, the practice of silence can get us to control our mind. However, we all have been given an instrument known as the intellect. The intellect controls thoughts. The mind is nothing but thoughts. When we activate our intellect to discriminate between thoughts, to choose what is right from wrong, then we will slowly and steadily get a control of our mind.

What does Steve Biko's quote The most potent weapon in the hands of the oppressor is the mind of the oppressed mean?

It means that if you believe you are powerless, then you are. The oppressor cannot control what's in your head, your heart or your spirit -- only YOU have that power. However, he will gleefully accept your choice to submit to his dominance.
