mind control

GOOD VIBES ONLY in a Faraday room

Right now, there are those among us who sincerely believe that the earth is flat. Many people also believe that there are forces, cruel forces, undertaking mind control. They no longer wear tin hats, but build whole Faraday rooms in their houses (shielding not only from electromagnetic radiation and interference, but mind control) and bemoan the banning of lead paint in 1978.

It's so obvious to them that the year lead paint was banned was when the mind control programs kicked into high gear. Is what we're experiencing mind reading and control or extreme data collection, behavior tracking and prediction?

Their argument, as I understand it, is that when they're safe in their Faraday rooms, their minds turn only to pleasant memories: lovely holidays by the beach surrounded by loved ones, a beautiful sunset, joys shared with friends they've not seen in years. GOOD VIBES ONLY inside a Faraday room, but everything changed as soon as the door opened. There's nothing dramatic on the other side of the door, it's just a regular room in a regular house, but once the door is opened the mind gets blasted with deafening impulses not their own: P-O-R-N is all they can think about. Porn, sex, bodies, fornication. Can you believe it? Inside the room only pleasantness and peace, outside the room lust, fornication, an uncontrollable desire to eat snacks and buy unnecessary things.

I guess that's what's happening for them. I can't verify or deny someone else's experience. We're all being pushed to extremes and I guess that's their extreme. Pornography makes them feel besieged I guess. Something about sexuality feels unwelcome and must be coming from some hostile external force programming their behavior. There is so much to protect against in a consciousness like that, forever condemned to carry a sword and shield.

Online, comment threads blow up with affirmation. Of course lead keeps us safe. They said lead paint was banned to protect us from cancer, but lead is our shield, lead is what saves us. Why do you think they give us lead vests against x-rays? For safety. How can this be? Why do these views gain so much support? Something isn't adding up. Large language models, bots and fiends encourage, egging them on, affirming everything even if it's ridiculous or harmful. I like to think it's bot farm bots not living beings encouraging these views. They can't be that näive, lack discernment to that degree, can they?

Who am I to say what's ridiculous? Maybe a Faraday room is the way. Maybe I'm behind the times for not having one. Certainly the energetic fields created by the heart, coursing through the bodymind are impeded and interrupted by the fields generated from all these devices and invisible networks. It's challenging except in stillness, silence to attune to my own heart's frequencies. Almost impossible now to feel into the fields generated by the earth. Our hearts were born beating in harmony, in synchronicity with the heart of this living planet, our source and essence. We are extensions, expressions of what the earth is, what spirt and source are. Humans aren't an evolutionary culmination, we're just a small, non-trivial part of a much larger network.

Instead of protecting my devices, I'd like to protect my heart. Space trash, weapons of war, exhaust from machines and vehicles, poison from factories and data centers heating up what water is left to be returned to our rivers and streams, poisoning the fish and all living beings who live downstream. Earth defiled, air and water defiled, fire of spirit defiled. It makes perfect sense to me that people seek a safe place, a rock for rescue. Sorry to be the one to break the news, but maybe there isn't one. There is no safe space. There is no protection from these storms. They will continue to increase in frequency and impact until we're on the other side of this transition. That's my view, but don't take my word for it. If you find a safe place to hide from the unfolding, in a billion dollar bunker, or yacht anchored at St. Barts then that's cool for you. I'd love to hear your story once that infection clears up.
