They call it governance, but it’s really a theater of control — power masquerading as service, illusion dressed up as structure. We’re conditioned to accept the con, to mistake permission for freedom, and to forget the true cost of compliance. This isn’t a revelation. It’s a remembering. A call to look again at what’s been normalized, to question what’s been quietly killing the soul.
. . .
The purpose of government is to remain in power. It must maintain the illusion of legitimacy, relevance, and usefulness. It must uphold the religions of science and nationalism and democracy. It must preserve the mask of authority. And it will do anything and everything to maintain these facades — including propagandizing, disinforming, and misinforming you; suppressing your access to knowledge, wisdom, and true and accurate history; dulling your emotional capacities and intelligence; suppressing your biology, and your capacity for concentration and comprehension by poisoning and injuring you with pharmaceuticals from birth; assaulting your psyche through relentless, multifaceted psychological warfare; and much more under that shadowy umbrella. And there is a lot. Though for most of us, it’s normal.
It’s normal to be anxious, fearful of the authoritarian state, to pay ever-increasing taxes, to join forced and fabricated social movements, and to conform to manufactured ideological intrusions.
And the real kicker? The government we see and hear every day — the one we gripe about in pubs and cafés, the one that clenches our fists when “their candidate” speaks — isn’t the top of the power pyramid. The proxy power structure within any nation-state answers to something else. To someone else. To a foreign entity or a conglomerate of interests — players in a realm we know little or nothing about. We speculate. We theorize. But their operations remain persistent, opaque, and largely untouchable.
The three biggest questions for humanity — How did we get here? Where are we? Where are we going? — are ones most will never have the time or presence of mind to consider. We’re too caught up in the theater of psychological operations. Bought and sold into the message. Blind to the social engineering that pervades our civilization.
And yet, we keep voting. We make signs, march in protests. We allow their narratives to become our narratives, their plot points to define our lives — unknowingly allowing their soul-sucking game to infiltrate from every angle. We defer our agency, our authority, and our purpose to the machinations of Empire.
If you’re wondering why you can never quite find peace — why something always feels off, why you feel the need to control others, situations, or outcomes — why your moments of joy, laughter, and love feel fleeting — it’s likely because you’re playing by someone else’s rules. Shielded from your own better knowing. Hiding from your soul under a structure of imposed artifice.
That kind of suffering isn’t necessary. That pain dulls the senses and numbs the spirit. It is neither constructive nor life-affirming. And if left to the so-called powers that be, the cycle will never end. They own you. This is by design. It is not yours. And only you can change it.
As long as we go along just to get along — resigned to being unresolved, angst-ridden, and passive — it will feel out of our control. And for most, that’s where the discussion ends.
For most, the decision is already made. “Things aren’t that bad. It’s not so dark or dastardly.” These are, after all, times of abundance and prosperity, right?
Certainly. We live in an era where no one should be hungry, homeless, poor, sick, diseased, lonely, unloved, or forgotten. And yet… every other TV show, film, and bestseller is about the opposite. Every news cycle feeds us war, violence, death, contagion, racism, religious strife, conspiracy, murder of innocents, outbreaks, and environmental collapse.
Even when we know these narratives are manipulated — fabricated and staged, even — they still affect us. They add up. They wear down the spirit. They siphon our vitality — our emotional, psychological, and even biological resilience.
To call it “mind control,” “manipulation,” or “social engineering” hardly captures the scope. These terms are now background noise. Accepted. Tolerated. Absorbed. Even if that absorption comes with chronic imbalance and quietly aching joints.
Government is for governing — for shaping and capturing the collective mind. For coercing, cajoling, and manipulating the heart. If you want to crack the illusion, look up democide. Look up menticide.
You’re living under the delusion that your pseudo-nation and pseudo-democracy are real and good. That they are time-tested, ever-evolving systems derived from a beneficent design.
You’re confused.
Mind is not merely a concept inside your skull. It is the quintessent substratum of human experience — and it is continuously misconstrued and weaponized against you. Heart is not just a mechanical pump. It is not a pump at all. It creates rhythm, generates vortices, organizes life’s flow. And more importantly, in a deeper sense, it is the nexus to your inner universe — your portal to Source.
But we forget.
We are made to forget.
We can choose to remember.
