For a while, a lot of Dutch people, still addicted to the programming tube in their living room, were under the spell of the propaganda LGBT playback show called Eurovision Song Contest, of which it could be predict ed in advance that Ukraine would "win." You know you're being tricked, but the "feel good" moment is more important than that realization, and besides, you automatically forget that when you get carried away by the artificially manufactured enthusiasm.
That reminded me of the churches I attended as a teenager, just to see something different from the obligatory Sunday church around the corner. The evangelical churches and Pentecostal churches did stand out. At least there, they played loud music and the whole room joined in, allowing you to experience a kind of collective trance. This was then presented as an experience of the Holy Spirit, and if only you converted you could also experience that wonderful feeling the next time.
Last night I received an email from a loyal reader, with the following text:
Unfortunately, I really see soul people around me being turned off by the indoctrination and/or entities present with or within them. No matter what I do, your theory is often too confrontational for those who listen to me at all, making them fearful and preferring to listen to some Christina von Dreien (or whatever the child's name is) theory. Yet I am convinced that (to be counted on one hand) these individuals are actually animated! I unfortunately experience it myself every day, that it is hard to stay out of this sick reality.
Where church is no longer hip enough (or simply too basic, since the idea of accepting Jesus as the savior doesn't require much more effort than weekly church attendance and Bible study) you now have the more self-actualized spiritual paths. This apparently fills a need for whipped cream on coffee, but at its base it is all still a "feel good" industry that is simply a source of income for many.
"But you also charge money for your books and people can become members." Well, I put my thoughts on paper once and if you want to provide that print-on-demand (printed per book on paper), the cost simply has to be covered. I'm not referring to that, nor am I referring to the voluntary membership here on the site, intended to avoid ads and meet the cost of the translation software (and more). No, I am referring precisely and primarily to the industry of lectures, trainings, healing and meditation sessions. People will pay gold money for that sense of enlightenment.
The latest trend in this is that through groups, doing meditation simultaneously, you can take the world to a higher vibration. That reminded me of the Bible study and prayer groups of those evangelical churches and Pentecostal churches I attended as a teenager. All have the goal of making the world a better place. In some through meditation and others through prayer and calling for the soon "return of the Lord." And frankly, these kinds of groups have been around for decades, so one wonders what the net result is.
All that praying and meditating did not help prevent the fake pandemic and the (manufactured fake) war in Ukraine, but that may be because we are in the last throes of the Age of Pisces. Yes, "we are in the transition to a fifth dimension" and "the Age of Aquarius." Sounds good doesn't it? Yes, it sounds good and very spiritual to say so. Unfortunately, it is more or less similar to the ideas of the aforementioned churches, but then the word "heaven" has been replaced by "fifth dimension.
I take the position that all this "feel good" spirituality is a financial industry, and that the idea of salvation or enlightenment is nothing more than an endorphin neediness addiction to relieve a hard existence. "That's a feeling, you can't explain that," Theo Maassen would say.
If you simply see through the essence of our reality, you will discover that all that feeling is nothing more than a euphoric effect in your brain, which has nothing to do with your consciousness (awareness). It is a kind of spiritual antidepressant. My goal is to help you discover that reality is very practical to grasp and that once you see through that, you don't have to look for that feel-good concept of "higher vibration" or "enlightenment." Spiritual heroin remains heroin and is at least as addictive. And no, I do not provide training or lectures to judges, military or police and justice officials to clear their consciences. This knowledge is free and available to all.
The real simple truth is not wrapped up in "feel good," but in awareness. That awareness begins in awakening to the way we are being tricked via the false reality of the Truman show reality. That awareness consists of knowing that you are already an immortal consciousness and that you are perceiving (living in) an artificial reality. Once you realize that, you discover that it is not about your feelings or about "meditation" or "prayer," but about insight and knowing. Would you like to move to a better world or to a better dimension? Then start by seeing through the mind fucks that have been laid over your perception from childhood.
Chocolate and desserts are delicious, but it's time to pull out the Pampers and sober up. The creative power that resides in the animated person is not a feeling that you have to activate. Nor is it a feigned serenity. It is a fact! The idea of "creating a new reality" is a spiritual variant of transhumanism and the creation of new realities. The original reality is already perfect and pure and all you have to do is wake up to the false reality. That is the only light that needs to come on (to speak in terms of enlightenment). Real awakening means to stop dreaming.

Deadly industry of spiri-wiris as I call them.
What they do drives a person completely away from himself and if you do not participate then you are put away as someone with too heavy an ego or at all as someone who uses his ego. There is nothing worse according to them.
They are then particularly destructive and completely tear people down if you don't walk along their street.
Just for example, the 'kundalini thing' is such a huge farce. I always say 'just get happy about normal things' and you have the so-called kundalini...No course or enlightenment for it.
What I find very bad, for example, is that it has been seeping into counseling for some time. 'Let us especially forgive our perpetrators' and oh yes, especially forgive òurselves... Terrible, really terrible....
If anything is doideng, that's it. Literally dead because it makes people really dead(s) as far as I'm concerned.
Ha, ha, yes it's a revenue model huh. I was in therapy once when in the group discussion a woman said she wanted to stop the day treatment and look for work because she was a goldsmith and she was bursting with new ideas. And she wanted to go on a continuing education course again and so on.
And instead of her getting acclaim everyone looked at the therapist and she said with a serious face that she wasn't ready for that yet. I found that so contradictory? That grocery mentality. Of course, we brought in easy money. We weren't TBS sers or anything like that with a guard at every door. A little clay, a little paint, meditating, feeling colors, doesn't cost a lot of money. So I immediately thought, what am I doing here? Then I was allowed to leave if I signed a contract. On my own responsibility, hi, hi really ridiculous. And scared, they were terrified. Afraid of death and lack of money and loss of status and afraid of each other and afraid of what I would reveal. How on earth can you help someone else if you are so afraid of life.
@ Dor Merkestein, be careful with naming the so-called negative feelings because before you know it we are generating even more negativity with that and we just keep cleaning up our karma and keeping our aura clean...! This way the world never gets to a higher plane and with that we hurt our higher selves, oh dear... 😉
So many times with this kind of indoctrination I have had an image before me of a goose getting a hose shoved down its throat through which the "food" is pumped. Swallowing, without chewing and tasting it, we will literally have it shoved down our throats if you are sensitive to it.
It is an abomination what they do, very destructive in my opinion.
I had fortunately never heard of Christina before, again her name must be a coincidence. The first impression I get is that it is sort of the opposite of Greta Thunberg, both give you the creeps.
Young gurus are totally hip. Another one of those: Bentinho Massaro
Even Giel Beelen is all spiritual! Great right!
Giel "you can rip off the whole thing and still be spiritual" Beelen who called me out of bed in 2015 the morning after actor Tarik Z. was allowed to do NOS studio hostage-taking of the 8 o'clock news. In it he pretended I was live, while he broadcast the recorded conversation an hour later cut and pasted in an attempt to frame Tarik Z. as a Martin Vrijland supporter.
https://www.martinvrijland.nl/archieftwee/nos-studio-gijzelaar-acteur-tarik-z-is-weer-terug/
So this spiritual Giel...
Doesn't surprise me, infantile adults seeking enlightenment from "innocent children." At least Benito M is an "internationally recognized spiritual speaker and teacher" with an "online university for enlightenment."
Yes bah, especially with those sleek clean-shaven heads and pretty clothes on, of 'look at me being flawless'....
Pfff, if anyone is an elephant in a china shop it's Giel....
Case of 'cock of the highest order'.
Right! Just like the hype 'indigo children' or 'new age children'. I would say: go check out a school in a random place in the Netherlands for a week. Bet you can't find them!
The pressure put on new generations over and over again that they will make the world a better place and so older generations can just keep going down their own harmful path, just plain shabby and accountable.
Recognizable, am also working on a couple of books by such an enlightened one. There are certainly very interesting things in them, but still experience it as too far from me. Have since ordered your latest book and look forward to the practical info.
There are pitfalls everywhere, in every field. It is not easy to be able to believe anything from anyone now. Especially when you are just beginning to discover.
Just like with religion..some aspects are not necessarily bad. As long as no one tries to tell others that their view is reality.... Some deliberately abuse others, others because they themselves are indoctrinated.
And if you benefit from having that good feeling to get through these times is fine in my opinion. And feeling good automatically makes for a better flow. As long as you stay realistic.
Bringing up the 5th dimension trap and explaining how controlled opposition works, democracy and how media works, among other things .... Is something Martin explained extensively...those were eye openers for me...That suddenly made his book much easier to understand....
I think there are few people who try to explain the entire script from beginning to present in as much layman's language as possible.
Maaarrr as with everything. Always stay with yourself....
Yes absolutely right too. I know them all . I get into it for a while, in (expensive) education and or friends club, or follower on the net , but there comes a time when I see something that doesn't add up. Or that a lot of it doesn't add up. Things that border on plagiarism without mentioning the source or a sudden unprecedented heartlessness against one of the trainees, ( mooji also seen falling out of character once) or withholding info, giving the impression that you need something, to make people buy books that are outdated or terribly inane. And then I say something about it. Then I am dismissed with a lot of heart. But I have also once had a teacher on the phone half crying that it was "inappropriate" for me to open my mouth. That was during Albert Sonnevelt's energetic therapist course.
No lesson is ever too expensive if you have learned from it, my mother always said.
@Dor Merkestein, I resonate with your comment, indicating that you are becoming wise by trial and error. This seems to me to be the purpose of this game, by the way.
The Energetic Therapist training sounds interesting and is indeed pricey, which is why you have now also piqued my curiosity and am enormously curious about your "inappropriate comment" to the teacher and his reaction to it, because you could therefore now state, that the training also belongs in the list of catcalls, am I saying that right?
Will appreciate it if you will share this experience with me/us. Thanks in advance
Oh and yes, a spiritual group I was in where you should all be able to feel safe and all that. One member had his picture taken with CORONA in the ICU. And he sent this to the group app. He was sitting upright in a hospital bed with his summer coat on and no tubes or ventilation or IVs or anything. ( He did have a sad face) . Well then it was also clear that that was a "non-official employee of the state "who had snuck in.
About the basis you talk about, "because the idea of accepting Jesus as the Savior does not require much more effort than weekly church attendance and Bible study," that is not true at all.
Those "churches" may say that, but those actions are not required at all to accept Jesus as Savior. I see you regularly use Bible verses. Can you also back up that basis you are talking about with Bible verses?
I'm talking about the practical experience of going to church. Once in, the bar is raised higher and higher. Then you do have to show up to study groups and, for example, sometimes fast piously. There is also a kind of competition in who is the most devout. And if someone gets sick, prayer groups are set up. If the person in question dies, then it is meant to be. If someone gets better, then the prayer groups have had their effect anyway.
There is the same kind of spiritual caste system that you see in every other spiritual movement. That actually has little to do with Christianity. It is in the ego of mankind to want to be important and the best. Some join a church, some join a sports club and some join a meditation club.
I'm still waiting for that meditation weekend for "gold members," Martin....
Good idea. I am saving up for a big brass gong and practicing to sit in the lotus position without getting my crotch stuck.
😀
Hello Martin and everyone else,
Nowadays there is an expert for every aspect of life, someone with a diploma, someone who radiates authority. As a result, many people give up when you try to get them to think with logical questions because, of course, you are not a doctor, you can't and shouldn't know any better and, in fact, everyone prefers you to keep your mouth shut while they curl their eyes, mock you and try to discredit you with hollow meaningless words. Often they don't even bother to engage in discussion because often they have no arguments. They just mimic what they have been told from kindergarten and it feels like a personal humiliation to them when someone tries to make them realize that their whole life, their whole existence is a lie. Their years of education are completely wasted money and time. But even many without a higher education cling to ideas that they are fused with, that have become part of their personality, their ego, culture, nationalistic honor, their religion or the latest new religion "science" which often has nothing to do with science. Once you touch this you can expect to be treated as scum or if that is not enough, the frontal attack that often knows no bounds. However, experiencing this does not mean that you yourself are on the right path, that you have found the all-encompassing truth. Each of us must have the intellectual honesty to listen to the story of others and test your own ideas in this way to see if they pass this trial by fire.
Therefore, I want to ask some questions so that your own ideas will be tested as you think about them.
- If all humans are avatars uploaded into this reality and we started in the original reality doesn't this shift the big questions we have as humans? Like the most obvious question, where did we come from? "Science" tries to prove with the most ridiculous arguments that a living cell can spontaneously sprout from dead matter and that all matter is the result of an uncontrolled accidental conversion of energy to mass with no explanation as to the source of that energy. None of this has ever been proven in the remotest scientific way and confirmed by other independent studies. Describing us as avatars circumvents this problem. Temporarily, anyway. Because in the original reality you are still stuck with the same question. You still have no explanation of what you owe your life to. You just shifted it one level higher. No matter how many layers you add, sooner or later you have to provide a logical explanation for the origin of all those billions of lives. Do you know anyone who can conclusively prove travel up and down between these two worlds? Is there any other way to prove conclusively that your character here is just an avatar? Then why when things get tough just not commit suicide? Why suffer so much physical and emotional pain to stay alive? Then why was this game developed in such extremely high resolution? Even in the deepest seas and in the most desolate places, there is life. Why are there so many types of trees, plants, fruits, vegetables, animals, insects, microbes and microorganisms. This game is programmed in extreme detail and why? What is its purpose? Why must there be monarch butterflies that can travel thousands of miles? What does this add to the whole idea of developing a game with us as avatars? Why has anyone bothered to program, conceive, design, create all this in such extreme detail. Every living creature is extremely complex, there is nothing simple or obvious about it. It is only ignorance that makes one think they understand something. Someone can devote their entire life to studying a single animal and still not fathom how those tiny brains can perform such complex tasks, how exactly those wings, legs, eyes, all kinds of sensors or their reproduction works? Why all the trouble? Surely logic tells us that there must be some other explanation than that this life is only there to prove to us for 70 years, while the majority of us immensely forgo survival, only to return to our original reality. Isn't this also enormously similar to the idea that this life is a test from God and then you go to heaven? If we do end up with some more intelligent being than us why not make the effort to get in touch with him instead of trying to guide each other like ignorant blind men? Why wouldn't he make an effort to explain the rules of the game to us? Put so much effort into his design and then leave us to our own devices? Somehow this doesn't make sense. If we already make the effort to give our children an education would our creator not also make an effort to give us an education? To explain to us why the world we live in is bad and how to escape it?
The original reality is the supreme being. Someone is at the top of the food chain. Someone is at the top of wisdom, energy and power. Someone is the start and origin of everything. He has taken great pains to warn and save us. His letter to us is originally written in Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek. If in doubt as to the correct translation into Dutch, compare it with the language in which it was written. It is obviously not for those looking for a quick bite of fast food.
Isaiah 43:10,11:
'You are my witnesses,' declares Jehovah, 'my servant whom I have chosen, so that you may know me and believe in me and understand that I am the same. Before me no God was formed, nor has one come after me. 11 I - I am Jehovah, and apart from me there is no savior.'
John 17:3-5
This means eternal life, that they may come to know you, the only true God, and also the one you sent, Jesus Christ. 4 I have glorified you on earth by completing the work you gave me to do. 5 And now, Father, glorify me at your side with the honor I had beside you before the world was.
Proverbs 8:21-36
I give a great inheritance to those who love me; I fill their treasuries. 22 Jehovah brought me forth as the beginning of his way, the first of his works from long ago. 23 In the distant past I was appointed, from the beginning, from times before the earth. 24 I was brought forth when there were no deep waters, when there were no springs overflowing with water. 25 Before the mountains were set down, before the hills, I was brought forth, 26 when he had not yet made the earth and its fields, when the first clod of soil was not yet there. 27 When he made the sky, I was there, when he marked off the horizon on the plane of water, 28 when he placed the clouds above it, when he established the springs of the depths of water, 29 when he set limits on the sea so that the waters would not exceed his commandment, when he laid the foundations of the earth, 30 then I was beside him like a master worker. I was the one he was especially fond of, every day. I was always joyful with him. 31 I was happy about the earth, which could be inhabited, and I was especially fond of the people. 32 And now, my sons, listen to me. Happy are those who follow my ways. 33 Listen to correction and become wise. Do not disregard it. 34 Happy is the person who listens to me, who stands at my door early every day, who waits at my doorposts. 35 For whoever finds me finds life and receives approval from Jehovah. 36 But whoever ignores me harms himself, and whoever hates me loves death.
Hello Rufus,
Up to the introduction I was in complete agreement with you.
Then I saw that you assumed something, from which I conclude that you are just assuming something without having read my book. That's where it really starts, because that's where I explain it. And then you find out that your assumptions are wrong.
I love how all the Jehovah's Witnesses pop up again when I write articles like this. Those invariably start sprinkling Bible texts, forgetting one thing, which is the question: how can you use a book work as evidence?
That is something like "it is true because it is written. Would you believe me if I said, "it is true because it was in the Telegraph"? No right? Then why refer to the Bible?
Now when you apply that wonderful introduction of yours to the idea that the Bible represents truth, you too can breathe a sigh of relief. Read this commentary again regarding whether the Bible contains truth:
https://www.martinvrijland.nl/nieuws-analyses/de-33e-graad-vrijmetselaar-leert-de-dynamo-van-het-leven-de-zaaiende-energie-van-lucifer-beheersen-en-wat-dat-betekent/comment-page-1/#comment-83399
How can you use a book work as evidence?
That's a good question but then that also applies to any other book. So then what is the difference with your book or by extension all other books? Why accept the contents of the Bible as coming from the Creator and therefore reliable, as evidence?
1. The Bible is one of the few books that itself claims to come from the Creator. The reason why other authors dare not make this claim is because they too are only human. Who dares write in his book that he, the author of the book, is the ultimate supreme being, and therefore possesses all wisdom, the truth, knows our entire history but can also accurately predict our future? The Bible is full of such citations. Bluntly, without blinking, the author says, I am your maker, your Creator.
2. The Bible that was first written on scrolls is allowed to exist as long as it did because it is protected by that same Creator, not because human rulers protected it. The Dead Sea Scrolls, over 2,000 years old and from the time before the birth of Jesus, are evidence of their persecution. These scrolls were hidden in caves to protect them from destruction. Then Roman empire was vehemently opposed to Christianity and thus already certainly no protector of these writings. The Roman Catholic Church later forbade the translation, possession and reading of the Bible so they could put their own spin on it. A mix of Roman worship and that of Christianity. Our grandparents were still not allowed to own or read a Bible by the churches here that determined whether you had work or not. Over the centuries, many were effectively executed for this. Apparently these people felt it was worth risking their lives for it. So how the Bible has been preserved to this day and has since been translated into almost every language despite all opposition is itself evidence of superhuman interference, certainly not protection by governments.
3. The circulation and availability in any language is astronomical compared to the book which is second in importance. And often available for free as well, anyway if you read it online. This is a superhuman achievement and comparable to no other book.
4. The predictions in it were sometimes penned down hundreds of years before by a prophet such as for example how the Babylonian empire would come to an end, that after the death of Alexander the great the empire would be divided among 4 generals, that after the death of Jesus they would divide and raffle off his clothes, etc... the list is endless. The books of the Bible in which the prophecy is written down are from a much older period than the books in which the fulfillment is written down. This can be historically proven among other things by dating the Dead Sea Scrolls found in Qumran around 1950.
To know all this for yourself, you do have to read it and study it. You often ask the question to others, have you read my book but have you studied the Bible yourself? You yourself know who wrote your book, it is you, no one else. You know where you got your intelligence and ideas. If you got it from somewhere else it would be plagiarism or a decoction, if it's your ideas, I think it's very good to a certain extent, but it remains your opinion, one of many. Of course, as long as you do not dare to claim to be the omniscient Creator, it is always good to allow for a certain margin of error which will then be corrected later. The Bible, on the other hand, thousands of years later has still not been adjusted, only translated and still available in the original languages. All this is not to say, however, that I want to tear you down personally, I have enormous respect for someone like you who turns his whole life upside down in his search for the truth and puts it above his own material gain and, moreover, really takes action to bring about a change. I have been reading your articles for a long time but I will not be the only one who does not always agree with everything.
I do not use my book as evidence, but as an explanation of my view; that is something else.
In my previous book, I explain that we are dealing with a script, which makes it possible to put that script in a book and then define it as predictions (prophecies). That script does show up in (among other things) all those biblical prophecies. Hence, I refer to it frequently.
I am not going to argue with people who come here for the first time to criticize, without having studied what my views actually are. If you come here to comment, please have the respect to take a moment to make that effort.
What many do not realize, have never been told and will never be told, is that "Christianity" was concocted by Them at the time to mentally brainwash the inhabitants of the Roman Empire. to dominate them. If you have someone's brain, you have power over them. I am not going to write and explain who Them are because we live in a dictatorship!
Hey, how brave of you to bring this up; thank you so much!
The phrases from Tijn's video; 'We (who does who doesn't?) are one clan, one family, who have come down together to do the work here'. 'It fits the picture perfectly'. 'She didn't remember how she got our book, again so special, she doesn't get it, it had to be that way' ......
It is indeed mind-gifting in a very subtle way.
(There is another such club that thinks they are one family, in a number of tribes, and have come down to do the work of God....)
Recently, I had a client (I teach singing; mainly as an exercise tool to free your attention); who made multiple appointments and then cancelled on the day. When I asked; "gosh, what makes you do this like this? Was the answer; 'Yeah, now that you mention it; apparently it wasn't meant to be.'
And so two clear facts are mixed into poison; You do something and then you put the response-ability with the 'higher' instead of yourself. This handing over of your response-ability is fodder for anyone who likes to make money from your 'quest'.
Confronting it, however, generates little enthusiasm. Jesses, then there is nothing 'higher' or 'otherworldly' that has a plan for me? Then I must acknowledge this apparent borderline behavior as what is taking place within me? Without cause, without reason?
So yes. And then all this cross-linking can finally sing out and dissolve; in your Conscious Being.
And you begin to understand that wanting to imitate something "higher" is exactly what we are watching.
Now to add the popcorn.
I have both religious parents and used to be required to either attend church or Sunday school. I chose the latter until I was sent away because I asked too many questions 😂 then until I was 18 I was forced to go along to church I hated it.
Hey all.
About enlightenment.
Those young people are very confused if they think they know what enlightenment is, I think. Probably they are stage actors who confuse ordinary people.
I myself think that it is okay to think and function independently, apart from the known wretches who try to break into your life and put you at their claw. And for that you need an enlightened, clear mind. One that sees the truth in life, disconnected from the old false corrupted thinking and provided with right thinking, with right info, even outside the normal social frameworks. One must see that one is both body and mind.
The real awesomeness of enlightenment seems to happen naturally in the body. It is something that is innate to us. Once a month the spiritual "seed" seems to want to ripen, exactly on the day the moon is in one's birth sign. This happens deep in the brain. Then is the time to be out of the world for a few days to work on your mental and physical health. You do this then by giving utter attention to yourself. Completely allowing the body and mind to be reborn in peace and tranquility. Every month. That gives health and long life. Just as a woman is menstruating monthly, so is the man.
People used to build sundials everywhere to tell the time. Priests kept track of the days and people probably still knew when it was "their day. Doctors will also have made use of this wisdom.
So enlightenment is very healthy. Spiritually as well as physically, because you literally renew in such a process.
The lamp of the body must be pure. The lamp must be full of oil. When the bride comes the bridegroom must be ready. (The lamp is the pinial gland, the oil the sacred oil in the spinal cord, the bride the male brain side, the groom the female side. Men and women are equal in this).
Whether this information is all really true I do not know, but several people who have studied for it have come to this conclusion. The adversaries on this earth do not want you to know this. They turn everything around, so people look outside themselves. Also in the Bible this info can be read between the lines with this in mind.
Much misery (thus) comes from those who know this but do everything they can to keep humans small. Especially does it come from the genes who pretend to be holy, it seems. (Much is reversed in a criminalized world.)
I hope many will get some use out of this info and critique it. I don't know much for sure either. But I do know that life is much more interesting when you are more self-aware. Then you live for two. But apparently it can be even better. (If it is true, then "Heaven" opens up for us.)
Correction: I mistakenly confused the bride and the groom. The bride, of course, is the feminine side, the right hemisphere. The groom is the masculine side, the left hemisphere of the brain. (Plus the right side of the body and the left. They too work together.)
When the "heavenly marriage" takes place, it seems to be when the two halves, the "male" and the "female" merge in one person and there is unity. Then the two are one. Then it (the oil) 'flows'.
This ultimate happiness seems to be what the East calls "Nirvana. It seems recommended for those who want to be happy without fuss.
So the marriage of that man takes place in the body itself, directed by the moon. Wise then is to do what wisdom says; fasting, abstinence, being kind, thinking nothing, but "being.
Hell seems to dwell at the bottom in the body when it is misused. Procreation. Wrongly used it becomes Sodom and Gomorrah. Then it is lust that spoils happiness. Then man is animal rather than man. Alcohol and drugs are also wrong, of course. They disturb the work. And all the worldly nonsense of the wretched.
There is nothing wrong with education and self-help, of course, if it can improve your life. And you can have a finer experience within the simulation. Unfortunately, it is packed with people who are severely unqualified to teach about such things. There are also many con artists and cult safety nets among them.
That whole community is very toxic because of this, and attracts strange people. The (mostly misplaced) arrogance mostly repels me. Still, there are definitely gems among them.
The enlightenment industry is a fraud industry and targets mainly the persons, slaves, who are dissatisfied with their lives, and the situation in society. It is mainly the persons who are co-profits, have good jobs, often in government, and cooperate with the sophisticated, subtle dictatorship in which we live. But nevertheless know AND feel that they are doing wrong. This creates unease. The slaves can of course protest/not cooperate, with the dictatorship but absolutely do not want to lose their luxury and comfortable life. In order to still feel good, also good against guilt, they live in a compromise/ split. Namely, by accepting the dictatorship and then being "spiritual". This is what the masters who control the dictatorship think is fine that the slaves are "spiritually" engaged. After all, as long as the slaves, are "spiritually" occupied, they do not come into action and are distracted by the "spiritual." Spiritual opium.
Slaves are hypocritical, selfish and stupid, choosing the easy way.
