DOUBLETHINK AS DESCRIBED IN ORWELL'S NOVEL 1984:

"doublethink: To know and not to know, to be conscious of complete truthfulness while telling carefully constructed lies, to hold simultaneously two opinions which cancelled out, knowing them to be contradictory and believing in both of them, to use logic against logic, to repudiate morality while laying claim to it, to believe that democracy was impossible and that the Party was the guardian of democracy, to forget whatever it was necessary to forget, then to draw it back into memory again at the moment when it was needed, and then promptly to forget it again : and above all, to apply the same process to the process itself. That was the ultimate subtlety: consciously to induce unconsciousness, and then, once again, to become unconscious of the act of hypnosis you had just performed." -- from George Orwell's "1984"

"Doublethink means the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one's mind simlutaneously, and accepting both of them. The Party intellecual knows in which direction his memories must be altered; he therefore knows that he is playing tricks with reality; but by the exercise of doublethink he also satisfies himself that reality is not violated. The process has to be conscious, or it would not be carried out with sufficient precision, but it must also be unconscious, or it would bring with it a feeling of falsity and hence of guilt. Doublethink lies at the very heart of Ingsoc, since the essencial act of the Party is to use cnscious deception while retaining the firmness of purpose that goes with complete honesty." (pg. 214, Orwell, 1984)

DOUBLETHINK AS MASONIC MIND CONTROL

Thus, so defined, doublethink is a state of mind that epitomizes the Kabbalistic mindset, which is symbolized by the hexagram, where the triangles, one black and one white, interlocked, represent the co-mingling of opposite principles of truth and falsehood, morality and imorality, reason and unreason, consciousness and unconsciousness, sincerity and insincerity, etc., and according to Orwell himself, it invovles a sort of hypnotism, dislocation, or what might well be called a kind of systematically induced dissociative disorder, i.e., to use oldspeak, a magically induced hex or spell. That is, mass mind control or mass hypnotism.
