00:00:00.320 Is this reality a soul-harvesting louche trap?
00:00:09.280 You know, there is a scene in the series The Good Place
00:00:15.260 where they're having a meeting with the demons
00:00:19.080 in the International House of Pancakes
00:00:22.540 and Chidi accidentally steps off the grid
00:00:27.780 and disappears into hyperspace and by the time they catch him he's near having a panic attack
00:00:34.840 he says i saw an infinite number of timelines folding back upon themselves until they formed
00:00:41.640 a perfect singular metallic blade at which point michael interrupts him and says yes yes the time
00:00:49.680 knife we've all seen it can we get back to business please
00:00:52.220 and i'll be honest that's kind of how i feel about this question
00:00:59.860 as a man who has stood inside the dodecahedron and seen upon its faces the wonder the horror
00:01:10.300 and then realized that all of those faces are but refractal mirrors who has stared
00:01:17.900 into the infinite abyss between moments that goes on forever,
00:01:24.340 who has seen the glorious machinery of God
00:01:27.500 spinning and rotating and grinding to unfathomable purpose
00:01:33.200 in its infernal glory?
00:01:37.620 Yes, the time not life.
00:01:39.980 Could we get back to business, please?
00:01:42.620 but that's unfairly dismissive
00:01:48.280 i like john nolan the man behind the inspired youtube channel at least i'm pretty sure that's
00:01:56.700 how you pronounce his first name my apologies that's pronounced gene
00:02:00.580 i like the guy and this isn't meant to be a disagreement video and it's certainly meant
00:02:09.440 not to be a debunking video. This is meant to be a differing perspective, because these are
00:02:20.320 interesting videos. I'm going to link them down below, and if this video interests you,
00:02:26.640 then I recommend you go give them a shot. In these videos, he covers the results of
00:02:35.360 of multiple double-blinded remote viewing experiences
00:02:40.200 on the question of what is the metaphysical nature of this reality.
00:02:49.640 Which is a question we should all be asking.
00:02:53.700 And it's a question that doesn't come to easy pat answers.
00:02:59.680 so i am certainly not coming down on anybody for seeking out answers to these important questions
00:03:08.000 i just want to give a different perspective on the results and so let's we'll start off by
00:03:15.180 describing quickly they go into more depth in nolan's videos we're going to describe what
00:03:22.800 the remote viewer saw and we're going to take it at face value
00:03:26.420 what they observed
00:03:30.140 was that the nature of this reality
00:03:35.520 of this planet, let's say
00:03:38.600 because it's easier to conceptualize this as a planet
00:03:40.980 is that there's a curvature
00:03:44.520 there's a curvature to the space-time
00:03:47.480 that causes the souls to loop back onto this planet
00:03:50.740 when they die
00:03:52.340 that when you go into the light
00:03:54.300 you're thrown into a recycling process where your memories get removed, but you get re-inserted.
00:04:02.580 And this may result in quite a bit of fracturing, since you don't remember what lessons you learned.
00:04:12.060 On top of that, this reality seems to be controlled by some sort of ascended archon,
00:04:19.560 Something that once was something like us, bound in time, but now has become a god, outside of time, who can look down upon time and see that it's nothing but a flat circle.
00:04:36.660 Beginning and end aren't readily apparent to these beings.
00:04:40.600 and part of the energy
00:04:46.340 they get off of this soul harvest
00:04:48.960 goes to maintain them
00:04:50.260 and another part
00:04:52.200 goes towards some
00:04:54.880 sort of project
00:04:56.380 which they are performing
00:04:58.260 and so
00:05:00.980 all of this loose energy
00:05:02.720 being harvested
00:05:04.340 goes into maintaining the
00:05:10.520 prison complex itself so the question becomes how do we escape the prison planet
00:05:19.820 these are valid questions
00:05:29.680 they aren't so easy to dismiss life ain't easy and it's seldom fair
00:05:40.520 But I'd like to come at this prison planet concept from the opposite angle.
00:05:47.660 What makes you think we don't deserve to be living on a prison planet?
00:05:54.320 Have you met other people?
00:05:57.660 Have you not noticed the venality, the short-term thinking, the utter blindness?
00:06:06.020 You have people that they are 10% self-aware, and the other 90% is all shadow material,
00:06:15.060 and they're just constantly enacting their own personal dramas out in the world,
00:06:21.040 and calling it righteousness and justice.
00:06:25.720 When it's so obviously nothing but daddy issues.
00:06:28.700 have you not seen yourself
00:06:35.920 have you not caught yourself
00:06:38.820 doing the exact same thing
00:06:41.340 that you've done a million times before
00:06:43.180 that you wish you weren't doing
00:06:44.860 that you don't want to be doing
00:06:47.940 but you're just the exact same asshole
00:06:51.780 you are every time
00:06:54.200 have you not caught yourself doing that
00:06:57.840 now ask yourself
00:07:02.140 would you want
00:07:04.080 all of the people out there
00:07:06.460 every single one of us
00:07:08.260 including you, including me
00:07:09.840 having full access
00:07:12.400 to manifestation abilities
00:07:14.380 to having all
00:07:16.580 the Jedi powers
00:07:17.860 to be able to transmute reality
00:07:20.420 at will
00:07:21.040 does that sound like it would
00:07:27.780 be an improvement to the present situation? And finally, the lore amongst the people that
00:07:43.100 talk about this being the Demiurge's prison reality, the present lore that they have,
00:07:51.600 They discuss a base reality, that this curvature, this little pocket dimension that we find
00:08:02.540 ourselves in, that our souls are continually recycled, our luge continually harvested.
00:08:11.660 How is this base reality any different than life inside the prison complex?
00:08:21.600 This is an answer, this is a question they never ask, and an answer they don't give.
00:08:33.540 Because to criticize this reality, with its glory, and its horror, and its pleasure, and its suffering,
00:08:43.940 to criticize it, to truly, validly criticize this reality
00:08:51.540 requires that you posit a reality that's better than this one.
00:09:08.420 And at least for me, I'm not presently in a place to make judgment.
00:09:13.940 upon this creation.
00:09:15.960 I am attempting to comprehend
00:09:18.720 this creation.
00:09:22.000 The good, the bad, and the ugly of it.
00:09:25.740 I am not in a place
00:09:28.440 to pass judgment upon it.
00:09:34.580 They don't answer that question.
00:09:36.320 They don't say what base reality is
00:09:39.100 and how it differs from this,
00:09:40.920 except that it doesn't have the loose harvest,
00:09:43.580 the negative emotion harvest.
00:09:49.180 But what's the difference between being in prison
00:09:53.140 and being in the outside world?
00:09:57.980 Well, fewer guards,
00:10:01.680 they give you more rope to hang yourself outside of prison,
00:10:07.400 and you can do more harm to innocent people outside of prison.
00:10:13.580 But aside from that, everything else is the same.
00:10:20.380 It's the same status games, it's the same hierarchies, it's the same daily ritual.
00:10:27.760 You just get a longer leash.
00:10:33.200 So what makes them think, on the metaphysical level,
00:10:37.380 that base reality is fundamentally different than loose harvest reality?
00:10:43.580 so let's say this is a prison reality
00:10:50.420 well
00:10:52.740 what can you do
00:10:56.980 what strategies can you deploy
00:10:59.420 if you find yourself in prison
00:11:01.960 strategy number one
00:11:05.880 is you could rebel
00:11:08.640 and try and escape
00:11:10.320 we'll call this the Aleister Crowley strategy
00:11:13.780 you can
00:11:16.320 go kill a prison guard
00:11:19.360 try and get out of the facility
00:11:21.300 and 99 times out of 100
00:11:25.920 all you'll do is get a week in the hole
00:11:29.240 the prison
00:11:32.000 isn't going to give up
00:11:34.600 it's not going to admit defeat
00:11:36.560 they don't really care
00:11:38.280 whether or not you killed a prison guard.
00:11:41.920 They just find a worse part of the prison
00:11:43.960 to place you into as punishment.
00:11:46.540 And even if you should escape,
00:11:49.120 within a couple of weeks,
00:11:50.600 they'll have you rounded up again
00:11:52.240 and, yeah, back in the hole.
00:11:55.760 So number one, rebellion.
00:11:57.900 It's romantic. It's glorious.
00:12:00.620 Say what you will about Alistair Crowley.
00:12:02.920 The man had some charisma.
00:12:04.360 But it's not exactly the best strategy to deal with prison, because it just makes your prison stay even worse.
00:12:13.940 And Aleister Crowley died a fairly pathetic death.
00:12:18.020 number two
00:12:25.260 and this is the optimal
00:12:27.560 or this is the most commonly
00:12:29.760 chosen strategy
00:12:31.620 is
00:12:33.660 let yourself get clowned out
00:12:36.420 don't show any resistance
00:12:38.480 be submissive
00:12:39.820 be the gimp
00:12:42.920 obviously a very suboptimal strategy
00:12:50.220 the next one is number three
00:12:55.980 climb the greasy pole
00:13:00.380 ascend to power
00:13:02.520 rise to the top of the prison gang
00:13:05.120 now this is less destructive
00:13:11.040 than the Alistair Crowley route.
00:13:14.480 It's obviously better than getting clowned out.
00:13:19.640 But the problem is that as you ascend Disraeli's greasy pole,
00:13:25.480 you're stepping on others in the process.
00:13:29.420 You're not only lengthening your prison stay,
00:13:33.400 you're making prison worse for everybody else at the same time.
00:13:37.460 And on top of that, right as you get to the top, your second-in-command puts a knife in your back, and now you're at the bottom.
00:13:46.260 Now you're getting clowned out because you're a cripple.
00:13:57.560 But there's a fourth strategy that you can take in prison, and this is the one most people don't see.
00:14:03.300 and this strategy mind your own business stand up for yourself when you need to
00:14:13.600 take advantage of the resources lift weights read books do courses
00:14:21.120 make the best of things while you're there
00:14:27.260 and because it's prison nothing's guaranteed you could get a random shank in two days
00:14:36.540 anything's possible no strategy guarantees success
00:14:41.560 ironically the safest might be getting clowned out which is why so many people choose it
00:14:48.960 because the clown doesn't usually get the shank
00:14:53.100 but the advantage
00:15:01.280 the advantage
00:15:03.560 of taking the individuation
00:15:05.980 route
00:15:06.320 even though it doesn't make
00:15:09.080 immediate benefit
00:15:10.540 and it still carries
00:15:13.040 some risk
00:15:14.240 the advantage
00:15:16.620 is you're
00:15:18.560 not just making your own stay better
00:15:21.220 you're also making everybody else's state better as well
00:15:26.180 now let's expand this to society at large
00:15:32.820 because as I said there's really no difference
00:15:35.940 between prison and society
00:15:40.200 except society has fewer guards and longer leashes
00:15:44.480 and when you're getting clowned out
00:15:50.100 as a citizen
00:15:52.220 as opposed to an inmate
00:15:54.220 the clowning's a lot more gentle
00:15:57.780 clowning is just
00:15:59.920 inflation
00:16:01.000 taxes on your paycheck
00:16:02.760 they promise you cake
00:16:05.080 they give you bread
00:16:06.420 and you bend over and accept it
00:16:09.580 every single time
00:16:11.300 and you vote Democrat
00:16:13.300 you cheer for the Mets
00:16:15.120 and you do what you're told
00:16:17.020 and life quietly
00:16:19.700 sucks, you're quietly
00:16:21.680 desperate
00:16:22.240 but they pat you on the head
00:16:25.740 and call you good boy afterwards
00:16:27.640 or
00:16:32.200 there's the path
00:16:34.700 of individuation
00:16:36.520 this path
00:16:39.460 is always available
00:16:40.920 so do I
00:16:50.560 do I think
00:16:57.040 that this is a prison planet
00:17:00.080 where Arlush is being harvested
00:17:03.020 by Archons
00:17:04.860 with nefarious purposes
00:17:10.920 Do I think it's a prison planet and we deserve to be here because we're a bunch of murder monkeys that can barely keep it in our pants?
00:17:22.500 And when we can't, we usually neglect the children that are produced.
00:17:30.060 Or is it a daycare where they try and keep peace between the inmates, but they can't be everywhere all the time?
00:17:40.320 Is this a mutually co-created reality?
00:17:47.840 Where all the evil in the world, you find a person behind it.
00:17:54.680 And when you go and point at them for being evil, you're also pointing at yourself, because you've usually done the exact same thing.
00:18:06.000 Is it some sort of private enterprise?
00:18:09.340 that creates an entertaining and distracting game
00:18:12.840 so that the inmates are kept occupied to prevent rebellion
00:18:16.660 while they harvest a little bit of a profit.
00:18:21.920 Is it all of them at once, or something more profound than that?
00:18:26.660 I would first respond
00:18:37.900 it's my opinion
00:18:44.480 that reality
00:18:47.400 is closer to Lovecraft's
00:18:51.580 cosmic horror
00:18:52.860 than it is to Disney morality.
00:18:59.440 Disney morality, where everybody has a happy ending
00:19:03.140 and nobody's even bad, not even the villain, not really.
00:19:09.800 And even the really big, scary monster bad guys
00:19:14.200 that are coded Nazi,
00:19:16.480 they're actually just silly clowns we can laugh at.
00:19:19.520 And we're all just special snowflakes living our dreams.
00:19:27.600 No, that's not what reality is at all.
00:19:32.440 Cosmic horror is a closer approximation.
00:19:35.560 And how offensive to our egos it is that reality, God, his justice, his sense of it, does not conform to our own.
00:19:55.440 How terribly wounding and insulting to our pride.
00:20:05.560 I would add, though, that should you pursue the individuation route,
00:20:17.480 if you reject the Crowleyan left-hand path where you are going to rebel against the system
00:20:24.520 and you don't care how many people you hurt in the process,
00:20:28.180 If you reject the clown route of bend over and take it and don't complain, I promise you get cake in the afterlife.
00:20:44.100 If you reject the domination route, if it's winner take all, then I'm going to make sure I'm the winner.
00:20:50.300 if you reject all three of those
00:20:54.720 and you choose the individuation route
00:20:57.720 the route
00:20:59.960 where you look at this great casino of life
00:21:04.920 where you can't win
00:21:07.900 you can't even break even
00:21:10.300 and you're not allowed to get up from the table
00:21:13.500 if you look at all of that and say
00:21:18.220 all right
00:21:22.100 I guess those are the rules
00:21:24.920 all men die
00:21:32.160 all I can do
00:21:34.960 is play the game
00:21:36.440 as best I can
00:21:37.800 make the most
00:21:40.620 out of what time I have
00:21:41.660 when I'm here
00:21:42.260 elevate my consciousness
00:21:46.100 and this
00:21:51.820 this is what
00:21:53.600 John Nolan gets right
00:21:55.320 not that this
00:22:03.680 is necessarily
00:22:05.700 a prison planet we want to escape
00:22:07.940 I can imagine
00:22:10.300 worse existences than this
00:22:12.520 that would be equally functional
00:22:13.920 I don't know that I can imagine better
00:22:18.580 but when you get to the other side
00:22:24.080 are you going to be
00:22:28.780 desperate for validation
00:22:30.980 for reward
00:22:32.640 for acceptance
00:22:34.520 or will you be able to think clearly
00:22:43.920 And furthermore, by walking the path of individuation, you create a reality that is more comprehensible, less chaotic.
00:23:03.300 you create systems of status which are discernible and earned where your second
00:23:15.160 in command doesn't stab you in the back to steal the seat of top dog
00:23:19.020 you create opportunities for greater connection
00:23:29.620 for greater meaning in your suffering
00:23:34.400 because your suffering is in pursuit of an end
00:23:38.640 that you justify.
00:23:44.960 And you create more opportunities for yourself.
00:23:52.860 The model prisoner
00:23:54.420 that doesn't mess with the other prisoners
00:23:57.420 or mess with the guards
00:23:59.460 tends to get some bonuses out of the commissary
00:24:03.180 without stepping on anybody else.
00:24:08.920 And maybe,
00:24:10.620 maybe it's when enough of us
00:24:14.220 choose that individuation path
00:24:16.580 where we're taking advantage of the opportunities
00:24:21.120 instead of taking advantage of one another
00:24:24.660 or bucking against the system
00:24:27.380 or just keeping our heads down.
00:24:30.860 Maybe it's when we all start to individuate
00:24:33.560 to the point that they don't even need the prison guards anymore.
00:24:38.420 Maybe that's when the walls come tumbling down.
00:24:45.240 Carpe futurum, teni trattitum.
00:24:48.500 This is Irini, out.
