BIG BROTHER DEPENDS ON LITTLE BROTHERS May 12, 2021. Meerloo warned that “many ‘free’ minds have given up the struggle for decency and individuality. They surrender to the ‘Zeitgeist,’ often without being aware of it. Public opinion molds our critical thoughts every day. “ As an antidote, Meerloo counsels “spiritual bravery, a mental courage that goes beyond the self. It serves an idea… It asks for a hyperconsciousness of the self as a thinking spiritual being.” He writes: “Spiritual bravery is not found among the conformists or among those who preach uniformity or among those who plead for smooth social adjustment. It requires continual mental alertness and spiritual strength to resist the dragging current of conformist thought. Man has to be stronger than the mere will for self-protection and self-assertion; he has to be able to go beyond himself in the service of an idea and has to be able to acknowledge loyally that he has been wrong when higher values are found. Indeed, there is a spiritual courage that goes beyond all automatic reflex action.” Financial, social, or other pressures might make you feel that you can’t resist Big Brother. Resistance starts gently by recognizing our own mental processes that make us vulnerable to the current of conformist thought. With mental alertness we attune ourselves to spiritual strength. With self-study, we prepare for peaceful exchange of ideas with those currently choosing to be little brothers. There is still enough freedom in America that without the support of little brothers, Big Brother will find it has no power of its own.
