True Media Strategy #1: “Trojan Horse Publishing”

Hi, my name is Manny, and I’d like to welcome you to True Media Project. I set up this blog for 3 reasons:

1. To journal my progress as I begin the One Great Work. My own personal “true media project” will be a podcast about Natural Law, disguised as a meditation podcast.
   
   
2. Since I have previous online publishing experience (I had over 365,000 email subscribers with my Brazilian project Fórmula Fluente), I hope my journal will be useful to others.
   
   
3. My ultimate goal with this blog is to connect with other content creators doing the One Great Work, so we can build a “Master Mind” (in case you’re not familiar, read chapter 10 of this book)

Mark Passio of What on Earth is Happening, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for getting me started on this journey. I know the debt I owe you is infinite and can only be repaid in one singular way: by paying it forward.

I know you are trying to create teachers that present Natural Law in a different way and style, and so I thought of 3 strategies to teach in new and innovative ways. This post is about the first strategy.

Strategy #1: “Trojan-Horse Publishing“

I have come to the conclusion that most people are completely uninterested in learning anything that really matters. Therefore, I’ve decided to smuggle the information about Natural Law inside a “Trojan Horse” – inside material about a different topic that people are already interested in (click).

In my case, the Trojan Horse will be meditation, since I have almost 20 years experience with it. I’ve recently attained Sotāpatti, the first stage of Buddhist Enlightenment; once I did, I realized that Mark is quite humble in not mentioning this much, but he, too, is at least at this stage if not higher.

While “the Unbegun” could not care less about occultism or natural law, they are very interested in meditation, for one simple reason: They believe that meditation is egotistical and will bring them benefits for their own selfish desires, so it fits their worldview perfectly.

This is of course a complete misunderstanding of the Buddha’s teachings, but we can use it to breach their egos with Truth. Meditation has been massively distorted in the West, as revealed by KGB defector Yuri Bezmenov (click): it is deliberately being taught in a way that makes people passive.

When properly understood, Buddhism teaches about NATURAL LAW, which in the context of Japanese Nichiren Buddhism is known as Myoho (妙法). I do not endorse Nichiren Buddhism, I believe it has distorted Truth like all religions have. But we can find the Occult Trinity of thought, emotion and action enshrined in the esoteric meaning of their Mantra “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo“:

• CARE in a Buddhist context is called “Nam” (南無), derived from the Buddha’s 1st Noble Truth: Suffering. Hopefully the suffering of other beings is enough to develop care (in Buddhist terms also known as “compassion”). If it is not, one’s own suffering will teach this lesson (a.k.a. “the path of severity”).
  
  
• TRUTH in a Buddhist context is “Myoho” (妙法), or Mystic Law. This is, of course, Natural Law. What is the Truth we’re seeking? It is the difference between right and wrong behavior. In Buddhism, wrong behavior is defined as that which causes suffering, while right behavior alleviates the suffering of sentient beings. The Buddha’s 2nd Noble Truth thus explains the cause of suffering.
  
  
• RIGHT ACTION in a Buddhist context is based on “Renge” (蓮華), or the Buddha’s 3rd Noble Truth, which teaches us about the cessation of suffering. Suffering ceases when we understand karma, or the law of cause and effect, and get into right (moral) action.
  
  
• THE TRIVIUM in a Buddhist context, this is called “Kyo” (経), or the 4th Noble Truth, which is known as the 8-fold path to Enlightenment. Study the Law, understand the Law, then teach the Law, and pass it on to others. Every enlightened master teaches about Natural Law.

Further, meditation if properly understood also helps with shadow work – to heal traumas, cravings and aversions that are in the way of developing care, truth and right action. It calms the mind, softens the ego and hence, makes it possible for new information to be taken in.

There is a principle in hypnosis called the “primacy effect”, which states that whatever information is taken in by the mind FIRST is accepted unquestioningly as truth. This is why we’re not getting through to people: new information presented to them bounces off a wall of information already in the head.

I was very pleased to see that Mark discussed this exact dynamic in his podcast last Sunday (click). So, a Meditation Podcast will be my Trojan Horse to crack the conditioning and reach people’s minds. “Trojan-Horse Publishing” is my strategy #1. My next post will discuss strategy #2, so stay tuned.

Progress Report, January 30th, 2024

I took the New Media Seminar in 2021, and unfortunately I was not able to complete it. I dropped out after week 8 due to a serious health issue, so I hope I’m not making any major mistakes here. I do have some experience from previous projects though, so here’s what I’ve done so far:

• purchased 7 domains for the project from namecheap
• set up webhosting optimized for wordpress (I know Mark’s not a fan but I’m very experienced with it, so it’ll do for now… I might switch later if needed)
• downloaded wordpress and installed the leadpages plugin, very easy optimized webdesign
• had artwork created on 99designs, and found an amazing designer for long-term in the process
• built a landing page offering an ebook (not functional yet)
• built a landing page offering a course (not functional yet)
• set up social media profiles and channels on video platforms (Youtube, Instagram, Bitchute, next I will add Facebook, Odysee, Rumble and all important podcasting platforms – not live yet).
• started translating Mark’s own work to Brazilian Portuguese in cooperation with a professional translator (we’re live on Youtube, next up Bitchute, Rumble and Odysee)

Much left to do! I do hope this was useful to some of you, feel free to comment below or contact me on Guilded… as I said, my ultimate goal with this blog is to build a Master Mind.

Thanks for reading, and don’t miss the next post with strategy #2…
