If I had to bring the whole conspiracy in all its forms into one area, it would be to manipulate people into left-brain reality. That's the key. Once they are in left-brain reality-it's the area that decodes everything as apart, everything in terms of individuals, structure and language, rationality as we call it. Then you are parking them in the droplet. The left brain is great if it's used to translate higher awareness into a form that we can work with here.

David Icke

And it (the left brain) has a massive role within this reality, yes. It is basically the point where infinite consciousness joins this reality. It's that conduit. But if you get trapped in it, and imprisoned by it, you become the decoding mechanism itself and it becomes your awareness.

The thing is too that when you sell people a false reality and they take that to be the norm, when that false reality is light-years from what's really happening, that in itself is a tremendous defense mechanism because when you start talking about what is actually happening, it is so different from what people perceive to be happening. They just can't make that jump; it's too insane for them.
