INTRODUCTION
“How to Be Outstanding in Your Field”
“Prudent men are wont to say—and this not rashly or without
good
ground—that he who would foresee what has to be, should
reflect
on what has been, for everything that happens in the world at
any
time has a genuine resemblance to what happened in ancient
times.
This is due to the fact that the agents who bring such things
about
are men, and men have, and always have had, the same
passions,
whence it necessarily comes about that the same effects
are produced.”
—Machiavelli, Discourses
Mind control and manipulation, brainwashing—enquiring minds just can’t seem
to get enough. Nor should they.
The Black Science (as such mental machinations and underhanded
maneuverings are collectively known) is an ever-expanding, always evolving
field . . . a battlefield! A battlefield where we are all combatants, whether we like
it or not.
Every day we sally forth unsuspecting, like babes into the woods, sheep to the
slaughter, out into a world of potential “land mines” and “booby-traps,” where
ruthless enemies to our will and wallet lurk behind every seemingly innocent
playbill and billboard, all designed to seize a hold on our attention—both
consciously and, better yet, subconsciously. And once they’ve fixed their grip,
they then insidiously insinuate their twisting tentacles deeper, ever deeper into
our minds—catering to our existing desires and fears and, where necessary or
just when possible—fostering such fears and desires within us—uncomfortable
and unruly emotional weaknesses they will then be more than happy to satiate . .
. but always at a price.
This is the battlefield of everyday life, where words are weapons, unchecked
emotions are weaknesses for a wily foe to exploit, and where the shields of
rationalization, repression, and regret we hastily throw up to protect ourselves
from mental domination and ego devastation are almost always too little, too
late.
Then there’s that other kind of field . . . the farmer’s field, where the rule of
nature—especially human nature—is: You reap what you sow. Call it karma,
kismet, fate, or just the “big payback”; sooner or later the chickens come home
to roost. Shit happens.
But while the farmer all too often finds his future in the merciless talons of
raven Fate, that is not to say he is a victim—never that!
No, the wise farmer trusts if he puts a kernel of corn into the soil, beans will
not sprout instead. Likewise he knows that any seeds planted on purpose today
(always in ground prepared beforehand, by the way)—in the hopes of reaping a
better tomorrow—must be diligently nurtured, with an ever-vigilant eye to
safeguarding our all-too-susceptible seedlings against sundry pests, vermin, and
perennial thieves, until the time is ripe for harvesting—for reaping what we have
sown.
Battlefield master Miyamoto Musashi encouraged us to “learn the ways of all
professions.”
A renowned warrior admonishing us to study the way of the farmer? That’s
because Musashi realized that in so many ways the killing field of the warrior is
not that far removed from the tilling field of the farmer.
Like the farmer, the warrior must pick his field carefully. He must know the
lay of the land—how the cooling water flows down the valley, how the hot wind
whips across the flatlands. He must prepare beforehand for his time spent living
—and dying—in his field. And he must study the signs—all around him—to
determine the best time to beat his plowshare into a sword, even as his farming
cousin knows when to beat his sword into a plowshare.
As with the farmer, so with the warrior. There is little room for error. Nature
seldom gives out second-place prizes. If the warrior tends to his field diligently,
then, like the farmer, he will truly reap what he has sown.
In this way one achieves respect, perhaps even glory, and is acclaimed by his
fellows to be “outstanding in his field.”
But what if you are merely . . . out there, standing, in your field? Then just as
surely the winds and the floods and the crows—both human and sky-born—will
come to rape and pillage your field.
And in the end, because you failed to prepare your field beforehand, failed to
study the signs, failed to strike when the time for harvesting victory was upon
you, in the end, you win a third kind of field....
Potter’s Field . . . where they bury the lax, the lost, and the losers.
Black Science: Generic use, any strategy, tactic, or technique used to undermine
a person’s ability to reason and respond for themselves.
The term was first coined in recognition of the contribution of Dr. C. B. Black
to the field of Aberrant Anthropology.
Part I
WHO CAN YOU TRUST?
“We are all disposed, more or less, to be tyrannized by
preconceptions and first impressions, and to refuse to see more
than may be seen at a glance, or, perhaps, to see more than
we want to see.”
—Ikbal Ali Shah, 1938
The human body and brain have weaknesses. The bad news is everyone of us—
including you and me—are susceptible to these human failings, foibles, and faux
pas.
The good news is that our enemies are just as susceptible to these gaffes,
greeds, and gaping holes in their mental defenses. This at least gives us a
fighting chance.
Down through the centuries various Black Science practitioners and cadre—
from individual charlatans, schemers, political and fanatical snipes, and
skulduggerists, to secret societies with all color of hidden agenda—every
possible failing of humanity has been explored—and then exploited!—to the
meteoric rise of some, the pitiful downfall of others. We will study and master
these collections and catalogs of human failings in coming chapters.
So if human beings are so fallible, who can we trust? Well, we already know
we can’t trust our enemies. After all, that’s why the untrustworthy and
underhanded bastards are our enemies in the first place.
I know what you’re thinking: Since these weaknesses are inherent in all
humans, doesn’t that mean, if we pay close enough attention, we will be able to
read our enemies like a comic book?
You catch on fast.
But on the same note, does that mean I can’t even trust my closest friends and
family, since my enemies might use them and their potential weaknesses to get
to me?
