Is there a War on Consciousness?

What are your opinions? Do you feel that your right to explore and develop your consciousness is in any way restricted, or controlled, or unwillingly shaped? Do you feel obliged to think, feel or act in a certain way, or else it is "wrong" or not in line with "the rest of society"? Do you believe in the right to pro-choice, to choose how you develop? Do you think there are those who want a War on Consciousness? Does anybody read this blog?
