Deception: the honeycomb structure

The principle behind a persuasion-oriented mental conditioning

Deception, of whatever kind it is, is functional if the victim is unable to recognize its existence. In particular, a big or small cheat is the more effective, the more difficult the following parameters are to identify:

  • Causes and ends
  • Activation and execution

Note – This article has been asked by one of our Core Course practitioners on Patreon (see how to attend our home study classes hereĀ Learn Kung Fu online: a beginner-to-expert course).

In this article, we will explain one of the most effective methods by which the masses are circuited: what in our school is defined as a “honeycomb structure”.

A note by Master Kongling – Why are we talking about this? Because for a 6 Dragons Kung Fu practitioner, being aware of the present is not merely a matter of instantaneous self-defense scenarios but also of knowing and understanding the mechanics behind power. Knowledge is the key to immunizing oneself against any form of hidden imposition (whatever its purpose).

What is the honeycomb structure?

The mental acquisition of information

Let’s exemplify in this way the functioning of human learning:

  1. The senses (hearing, sight, etc.) collect data from our daily experiences (people, the outside world, etc.)
  2. The mind analyzes the reliability of the data sources (a person, the senses themselves, etc.)
  3. Verified the reliability of the source (logical consistency, past reliability, etc.), the mind starts the comparison of data
  4. If the data contrast with a more authoritative source (eg. the opinion of a person that we recognize more or less correctly as an “expert” heard about in the past) the data will be rejected
  5. If we do not have comparative data we give a sort of “likely true” value to what we learned

The “bug” of our mind

From here it is easy to understand that when a notion lurks in our mind as “likely”, the evolution of its process can only be the following:

  • If the information appears to us as interesting, vital, or at least necessary, we will make sure to look for other comparison data to find solid confirmation / denial
  • If the information seems minor, uninteresting, not in contrast with our fundamental principles or entirely superfluous, in our minds it will become (with time) more and more similar to a “certainty”

A note by Master Kongling – Why does it happen? Are we all stupid? No, it is completely normal that our brain gives priority to the things we consider most interesting and it is equally normal that we cannot dwell in deep reasoning for every single piece of information we acquire. In other words “we make selection”.

How the honeycomb structure works

A note by Master Kongling – There is nothing more naive and arrogant to think that no one can write on our minds. This is something that happens many times a day and those who delude themselves that they are extraneous to this kind of conditioning are precisely the ideal victims of those who exploit these dynamics.

What follows from the mental scheme we outlined is that our mind is visually comparable to a nest of bees:

  • The recesses already filled (with comparative data) are unlikely to be occupied against our will
  • Unfortunately, the empty cells can instead be filled without any resistance

Deception: how the honeycomb structure is exploited

These are the basic requirements that allow exploiting the honeycomb structure:

  • The data assumption must come from an authoritative source (eg. right or not, no one will listen about economic projects from a 7-year-old boy)
  • The benefit connected to the deception must be hidden, far from the information entered into the mind and (especially) far from who perpetrates the plan; in relation to this, maximum effectiveness is obtained if the authoritative source of the data to be proffered does not coincide with whoever organizes and derives the benefits of the deception
  • In any case, the source of the disinformation must appear completely disinterested (if not even opposed to the hidden benefit)
  • The dissemination of information must be diluted in terms of time / space proportional to its incisivity (eg. if it’s something about lunch, the inoculation should start before noon, if it were a question of reducing the civil liberties of the citizens of a nation, in various years)
  • The level of preparation and interest of the victim must be low (at least in relation to the focus of the final goal)
  • The more the evolutionary scheme of the plan is chaotic (and therefore presents periodic setbacks, pauses and failures) the less the victims will be inclined to look for a general framework or a direction

Final notes

A few conclusive thoughts:

  • Naturally, this is just a basic explanation, there would be many other things to say and deepen but for the moment we stop here, our goal was to outline the foundation of a complex (but diffused) deception method and to give therefore a tool to understand how few can control many
  • This kind of process always requires considerable preparation but its effectiveness is confirmed by the slow evolution of society itself in directions that the common man struggles even to imagine
  • Is it about being conspiracy theorists? No, just to be attentive to the motivations that push people (especially those in power) to carry out seemingly harmless / purposeless changes (everything has a reason, nothing happens by chance); it is not a question of fantasizing about absurd theories but of giving a logical, balanced and above all factual sense to what is happening around us; in doing this we need to understand that unverified hypotheses are useless, we need to learn to look for the probable, to question our prejudices and to reject certainties

In the next article of this series, we will see other kinds of deception.
