E206 Behold a Pale Horse: Bill Cooper, Conspiracies, and the Cost of Knowing Too Much
Manage episode 487785670 series 3670643
In this episode of The Infinite Spark of Being, we explore the life, legacy, and psychological unraveling of Milton William “Bill” Cooper—author of the infamous conspiracy classic Behold a Pale Horse. Was Cooper a prophet, a paranoid recluse, or something in between? What did he get right about surveillance, government secrecy, media control, and fear as a tool of manipulation? And why is it so hard for us to accept that people like Cooper—or even Alex Jones—might sometimes tell the truth?
We’ll also touch on the cautionary tale of the Sandy Hook incident, the psychological toll of constant exposure to conspiracy thinking, and how spiritual discernment is more necessary than ever. This isn’t just a breakdown of a book—it’s a mirror for our own minds.
✨ Topics include:
- What Bill Cooper got right (and what it cost him)
- Comparing Cooper and Alex Jones
- The truth behind false flags, surveillance, and media manipulation
- The spiritual dangers of obsessive truth-seeking
- Finding peace and awareness in a world full of fear
