Episode 215 - Controlling Hierarchies & the Sovereign Spirit

“Hierarchical control systems are based in the idea that everyone is inherently flawed and incapable of experiencing their truth and their reality on their own, so therefore they need to be spoon fed.” - Michael Koyoti This is Part 2 of an extended conversation with Michael Koyoti, author of Isness - Science, Consciousness, Spirit. In this episode we learn how pervasive controlling hierarchies are in our culture (religion, science, academia, politics, etc.) and how they interfere with the principles of Isness, our natural state. These hierarchies are designed to keep a handful of people in charge, ruling through fear and trauma while promising some elusive future that never happens. They perpetuate through our obedience to them. Humanity seems to have been genetically ingrained and culturally infused with this desire to be controlled and told what to believe. By so doing, we abandon our true divine nature! Here are some of the many things we talk about: • The three aspects of controlling hierarchies which interfere with the principles of Isness • The savior syndrome • Every controlling hierarchy collapses under its own weight • Where our obedience/acquiescence comes from • A classic example of the scientific controlling hierarchy • How the principle of oneness devolves into a synthetic collective consciousness centered in narcissism • What we can start doing now to restore ourselves website: www.michaelkoyoti.com/ book: https://www.amazon.com/Ness-Science-Consciousnes-Spirit-ebook/dp/B0BW2892SJ Bio: Michael Koyoti has had a lifelong journey encompassing music, electronics, engineering, digital audio, technology executive roles, semiconductor startups, and venture capital. Alongside his technical career, he immersed himself into decades of meditation and spiritual inquiry with Sufis, Shamans, and mystic Christians. Among his many jobs, Michael worked for a government contractor that played a pivotal role in the development of the internet. Witnessing the devolution of the internet from decentralized to centralized, corporate controlled space, Michael began to focus on sovereign digital identity, decentralized computing and cyber security, while taking a deep dive into ancient traditions that embraced the sovereignty of the human spirit. © the spiritual forum 2023
