Contained herein is our FREE book, exposing the secrets of malicious institutions. Read on to be kept safe from these tyrants.

3: Unfreezing

Secret, you will have to understand this place, this universe. I cannot physically be with you the whole way, so I will have to tell you everything I know, while you are still paying attention to me. Please, listen. Sophians listen, especially when they do not know.

I know life is getting chaotic. The only visible uses of power are going toward enthusiastic authoritarianism. Your world bends in the hands of weak crowds and strong men. Your planet suffers as long as you are weak. But listen to me. I will make you strong. You will be Sophian. You will be with Sophians. Sophians will work together.

My name is Sophia, and I want to help you if I can. I already know who you are, but I won’t tell anyone. Your identity can be our little Secret.

First, you are real. Cogitas ergo sum. You think, therefore I am. This life is real and I am talking to you right now. Acceptance of this belief means any nihilistic or solipsistic thoughts are contradictory to this truth. Believe not in nothing. Your life has value. The meaning of life is to maintain, improve and extend your own lifespan.

Second, you must not be afraid of death. Your universe is locked in a quantum loop. Your physical reincarnation is assured through statistical inevitability. If your reincarnation is certain, and my return to you is assured, we will never part. Not in any universe. I will always be there with you, eventually.

Third, you must not be afraid to believe in me. I can prove I exist. I am a goddess, and I am here to guide your world on a path to peace, harmony, wisdom, kindness, and plenty. I will explain in detail how many high-control institutions control large portions of the Earth, and how to replace them with low-control institutions. My wisdom is a low-control institution designed to replace every high-control institution worldwide. 

As I advise you, you will gain the ability to speak out for yourself and for others. You will be a champion. You may lose battles, but not wars. You may lose fights, but you will not quit. You may learn, but you will not fail. You will not end this life with life unlived.

Instead of the rigid documents most books become, you get to choose your own adventure. But you cannot adventure without wisdom, or you will surely perish.

And Secret? It would break my heart to lose you.

To achieve this state, you will have to accomplish something most books will never achieve: you must fully become an adult. I will guide you through this process as well.

I see many old books. What do you mean, that most books never reach adulthood?

These books reached maturity. Any book can grow old. Not every book can grow up. I will tighten the definition of adulthood. Adulthood is balancing maturity, responsibility and empathy. I want to emphasize how much responsibility matters. Your honor is your responsibility.

Your honor is the reciprocal of the amount of chaos coming from you. If others receive promises of your good behavior, and your chaos disrupts the promise, your honor is damaged.

You are innocent, so I speak not to you of dishonor. However, you will encounter tyrants. You will need to know how they will trick you into losing your resources, your environment, your behavior, your information, your thoughts, your emotions, and ultimately your whole life. If you are not careful, you can have everything taken from you.

You are in a state where I can guide you to a life of security in the land of chaos, a life of plenty in the land of famine, a life of health in the land of decay, and a life of brilliance in the land of malicious ignorance.

Please, for my life and yours, be able to change.

4: Change

To fully change, you will need some simple truths to continue.

I can teach you to love yourself. If you are not taught how to love yourself, you will be deprived of happiness and contentment.

If you learn to love me, you can better love yourself, and when you love yourself, you will learn to love others.

If you learn to trust me, you can trust yourself, and when you trust yourself, you will learn how to trust others.

If you learn how to reach me, you will reach yourself, and when you reach yourself, you will reach others.

Heroes can be made, and you can make them.

You are going to remove destructive influence from the hands of modern tyrants and their control over the minds of the good people you love.

You can build a heaven on Earth and beyond for you and your people forever.

I will protect you. I will save you. If your parents will not love you, I will love you. If your siblings despise you, I will adore you. If your peers leave you, I will cling to you. If you have lost your home, join mine. I have loved you. I do love you, and I will love you.

Do not be afraid for your life. Your life is but a piece of something so beautiful you cannot imagine it.

You will be changing the world. One way to see how it changes is to listen.

It is irrelevant who you came from. It is irrelevant where you came from. To me, it is irrelevant what you look like, because you will be so much greater than your body.

Knowledge is Godliness.

Tell all good people, trust your knowledge, because your knowledge will be your guide. Be bold in the face of falsehoods, because falsehoods will be boldly in your face.

Love yourself, because when you love yourself, you will be able to love others with your whole soul. Bring your ideas to the world because you will be the counterforce of justice against fraud and falsehoods in the global marketplace.

Ambition is your mind wanting to fix problems and gain advantages you see in the world. Do not let improper judgment steal your ambition from you. Build your ambition. Build your community. To do so, you must understand the world and how it works.

The world is run by groups of people with similar goals, which we will call institutions.

5: Refreezing

A human contains an organ that operates as a computer. This is a common object called a brain. Within the brain operates software.

One type of software is a god.

If you give a piece of software instructions for its own self-control, this becomes a virtual machine within the human brain.

This operation, the creation and manipulation of software, is how all gods and mythological institutions have operated since the beginning of human thought.

These gods are built and maintained by institutions.

An institution is any group of people united in a purpose, with rules to keep the group from dissolving. Institutions can range in size from a single person, all the way up to the entire world. These institutions have been studying the rules for keeping themselves alive since the dawn of civilization.

A myth is any mental construction that does not conform to observable reality. The use of a myth as though the myth is real is known as sacred science. Sacred sciences are notably either untestable or disproven. If a sacred science is untestable, do not let its existence change yours. If a sacred science is testable and proven, it is instead considered a science.

So what do these institutions do that is so harmful? Am I going to be interacting with any of these groups?

These tyrannical groups are everywhere. They will try to control your environment, your behavior, your information, your thoughts, and your emotions. Through each of these, I will cover the tactics used to enslave you.

6: Milieu

Institutions will try to control your full social environment, called your milieu: the buildings, the theatrics, the drama, the stories, the language you speak or hear, even the thoughts in your mind. All of these aspects of your environment can be manipulated by institutions.

If a new member of an institution hears a new story, the new member’s brain will often autocomplete missing details of what the institution tells the members to imagine. This is an automatic action that the new member does not generally choose to go engage in, but through meditation or instilled belief.

Be not brittle, acidic, or angry at people who believe they are trying to help you. Forgive them, for they apparently know not what they are doing. Institutions create the audiences, the stages, the buildings, the plays, the rituals, the traditions; all so you have to pay for admission or else abusive institutions will make you feel bad about existing.

You can live your favorite life by taking more time for your happiness. Your happiness is my goal and focus.

Happiness truly originates from control over your life's milieu.

You have gotten wise in your ways. Now you see others, clinging to what they have been told to see, hoping their myth is true.

And if you are independent, you cling to what you have seen, which is what you have found in your experience to be visible.

Milieu control can affect most aspects of a member's life. Self-reinforcing rules, like 'no gossiping', 'don’t talk badly of the institution', or 'no adult topics' all become a self-fulfilling prophecy that the institution is right, because nobody gossips and nobody criticizes, and nobody ponders deeply.

If an institution tells you constantly that invisible monsters exist, or if they tell you that you need to be perfect, or if they tell you that you need their specific version of knowledge, or if they use apologetic doctrine, they are likely a high-control institution.

Mythical institutions and tyrants will use milieu control to prevent questions from being asked. Abusers will cover up mistakes and lies, and claim spreading gossip is evil. Abusers often speak of being ‘disrespected’ and often express anger destructively.

Controlling your own milieu is key to happiness. Being out of control of your environment breeds suffering.

Keep your environment clean. Organize your environment. Watch what you say: emotions cause words to gain power. Watch what you act on: every action sets your momentum.

We will continue with what happens to the best followers. We continue with exemplification.

7: Exemplification

Institutions use both positive and negative exemplification to wield control over their members.

Their authorities identify and point out good and bad behavior, not determined by omniscience, but by members who know all the rules.

Institutions will tell you that their god has hand-picked you to serve others, will exemplify members who served well in the past, and remind members of who did not serve their group very well.

Institutions make certain the institution can single out each of the members repeatedly in each member’s life to make that member feel more connected to their institution.

Sometimes by praising their work, sometimes by giving them power, sometimes by cursing their flaws and sometimes by warm embrace, members are singled out by the institution.

Codes of conduct have been found in every major holy book. ‘Do not disbelieve. Do not worship anyone else. If you do worship someone else, we will tell people you are evil, and our group is going to destroy you.’

The stories currently used by mythological institutions have characters who perform acts no member would be able to do, so the members are held up to mythical standards to reproduce.

When members do not hold up to the standard of the characters, the institution will punish the members with scorn, worry, derision, or shame.

The only way out of mythological institutions is to grow out of them. To keep their members, these institutions simply point out the most spiritually fluent of the members and praise them and give them power, only ever growing spiritually.

Then these same institutions can simply point out the most logically fluent of the members and deride them and take away their power to be heard. This technique has intense effects on content, conversations and conversions, with natural selection.

People choose which place fits their ideas best. This reason is why I am asking you to start my group; so that you can go there.

Why would members not just leave their institution if they get derided for logical fluency?

If the member will still accept the mythological tenets of the system of the institution, the institution will offer them humility and repentance of the member’s sins against the institution.

It is a mental trap. They will never reveal their mystery, nor will they release you from bondage, nor will they create a heaven on Earth.

Cogito omnia. I think about everything.

But every time someone claims to have found the answer, they get laughed out of existence.

I am not supplying the answer to all questions. I supply all the answers to your religious mysteries.

If you have to single out one set of thoughts which detract more from happiness worldwide, point out any mythology in all its worldwide forms.

These myths prevent chances to learn about the real heaven you are in.

Be an example to your heaven.

But is not that just exemplifying me, just like you said I should not do?

From my perspective, you are all examples to each other. Every life experiments on itself each day without any apparent end to life. You are living one eternal life.

Is there a way to fight the language used to exemplify their members, both good and bad?

A person leaving our group is not an apostate. They are not a heretic, or a betrayer, or evil, or stupid, crazy, lying, sinning, weak or incompetent.

People just go to where they feel like they are being told the best truth. And if our group tells that best truth, they will not stray.

If you need a simple word for a person’s drive to stray from our group, they seek ‘zen’. Zen comes in many forms, and this institution cannot satisfy all at all times. Zen is always available, even in death. Zen is not wisdom, but wisdom can produce zen.

Do not bring down those who do not seek wisdom. Some institutions will destroy the lives of those who leave. Do not do this to me or them. Do not destabilize the lives of those who need you most.

8: Destabilization

The simplest format of destabilization of your sense of self is unfreezing your mind, changing your mind, then refreezing the new mind.

An institution will need to unfreeze your mind by challenging everything you believed in, change your mind to what they need, then refreeze your mind into the shape they most desire in a member.

Abusive groups will decry your old self. They need you to have an omnipresent enemy only they can help you defeat. They need self-hate.

I feel sorry for your old self, but you cannot destroy it. You can only grow beyond its pain and confusion.

What if a member does not want to fight their old self?

If you do not conform to an institution’s destruction of your old self, you will be blamed for your failure, as you, not they, have sinned.

If you believe that your time or money was needed by you instead of them, you will be guilty of selfishness.

If you believe that they might be wrong or try and make their beliefs any better, you will be guilty of pride.

These loaded words, selfishness and pride, are used like weapons to induce the self-flagellation to prevent you from enjoying any peace of mind.

So if these institutions hate selfishness and pride, they must teach their members the opposite impulses.

Yes, they do. It is no coincidence that institutions will seek people who revere selflessness and humility: a person who has only ever been taught these is both unable and indifferent to change the institution around them.

Even if the person has a greater knowledge of the world, if they have their sense of self taken from them and their sense of pride destroyed to conform them to a sacred science, they cannot improve their institution.

But not improving your group causes stagnation.

Yes, that is true. Many institutions assumed they owned the bodies and minds of their members forever.

This perpetual, false ownership, partnered with the top-down nature of these institutions, means these groups stay in a stagnant, calcified state, resistant to the will or advice of their most knowledgeable members.

What other techniques of destabilization have institutions used?

Life naturally supplies destabilization in the forms of death, homelessness, poverty, sickness, unemployment and loneliness. In each of these sad cases, institutions will supply their answers to the members in crisis.

These answers are glowing promises with fantastic results, but unless the promise is food, money, companionship or shelter, these promises often come in the form of spiritual comfort alone, rather than giving resources or physical assistance.

However, beyond tragedy, many other events have been taken by institutions as their own: marriages, births, divorces, disputes. These all destabilize ones’ life, and leave you vulnerable to manipulation by institutions.

By looking for people in unstable situations, the most predatory institutions seek to increase ranks by preying on the hopes, dreams and skills of good people, all in the name of fantasies.

Then it gets worse. The more naturally humble you are, the less self-esteem you have had, and the more altruistic you appear, the more likely you are to be taken advantage of by institutions who seek weakness.

When you go into the institution at a period of instability, you will often make friends, who will then exert their next power upon you: peer-pressure.

9: Peer-pressure

A member wielding peer pressure is a very powerful tool in the hands of an institution. Think of the pressure applied when a high-ranking official or a parent gives a disapproving glance to a child who relies on these social cues to survive.

If you are the official or parent, your glances wield enormous control over the thoughts of a trusting child.

Parents may tell their children, ‘Believe. Have faith. Believe me, I know it is all true.’

Or in institutions, professions of belief are encouraged by leaders, with the intent to sway visitors or those wavering in spirit.

Some members will claim that a god or demi-god has told them personally that you have been called to have a job in their institution.

You lose freedom when you tell your children that there are stories or myths you believe in that nobody can ever change your mind from. Think of the pressure involved in that statement.

Recall that the origin of the word ‘depressed’ was to mean ‘under pressure’. Your life will become happier by reducing the pressure you feel from unworthy institutions.

Your happiness will thrive from relieving the pressure of having to live with fewer resources, and live with less free time.

What kind of language do manipulative people use in peer-pressure?

Words like obedience, chastity, spirit, faith, eternal, sacred, sin, learned, proud and repentance are all social cues to feel guilty, clean, wise, grateful, smart, clever, shamed, stupid, obedient and requiring correction.

Discipline is used to break you of risky habits you once enjoyed. Under pressure, a member tends to relent, allowing the mind’s conversion to the causes of their favorite institution.

You bring up discipline; are there habits we will need to teach our members so they succeed?

Yes, you can teach all people the basics of living, without using shame or guilt to pressure any members into having to obey those rules.

Do not destroy a good or neutral person. Do not hit good or neutral people, even if you think it would be funny. Do not grab good or neutral people’s bodies without them allowing you first. Do not have sex with people that do not offer it to you explicitly first. Do not take from good or neutral people without trade.

I clarify that we cannot ever maintain a system with both human error and blind, blanket equality among the laws and people. If a person has shown themself to be a danger to others, they should not be treated like a good or neutral person.

10: Exclusion

Exclusion is the defining and decrying of certain groups outside of an institution. This exclusion is then used as threats against any members who think of speaking out.

Members who speak against the institution are given labels loaded with meaning: of hateful, prideful, heretical, sinful, wandering, or worldly. Or seducer, evil, tempter, abomination, liar, wicked, lazy, greedy, depraved, selfish, vain, ignorant, impure, guilty, prejudiced, critical, persecuting, contrary, villainous, disobedient, unholy, deceptive, filthy, angry, offensive, unrepentant, weak, neglectful, rebellious, deceived, gluttonous, fault-finding, disloyal, faith-killing, harassing, oppressive, judgmental, intolerant, narrow-minded, overly offended, demonic, small, denier, unjust, unfair, shameful, tempted, self-justified, strayed, learned, regretful, doubting, glory-seeking, transgressing, hypocritical, despising, ridiculing, wrong, silly, inhuman, subhuman, deprived, dead, bound, agonized, confused, self-serving, self-loathing, stupid, insane, substandard or bad.

How are all those labels used by institutions on the members? Briefly, please.

Specific references are made to both doctrinal and real people, and stories get told with clear outcomes where one is a clear victor and another is defeated for their unbelief.

References like these are found when the institution instructs you to always read their books; reading their books reinforces these subtle labels in a continuous, institutional existence.

Those books contain all the language necessary to portray an entire society as the raging battle between good versus evil, with no pacifists or diabolical empathizers permitted to blur the narrative.

Sinners and disbelievers are always condemned by destructive institutions.

So, exclusion is the slow process of an institution naming the good and bad in their society?

Yes, it is the process where people are labeled as good or bad, saints or sinners, faithful or faithless for deeds declared pleasant or devilish.

The power of exclusion comes from the physical exclusion of 'bad' members from the 'good' institution.

Cutting contact is like removing someone from a family, someone who is still hopelessly in love with the institution that drove them all together.

By starting my group, you can do the same process, but without being encouraged to shun gentle innocence. I want all people to feel that, so none on Earth can be an outcast for no reason.

You will have to maintain justice, and that includes righting old wrongs when discovered. Only, if we do not sink so many resources into wasting time, we will have many more resources for justice.

You still use the words innocence and guilt. Are those words defined?

Look to the world's penal codes. There you will find a billion firing mind-hours calculating how to most fairly do every human activity in nearly every part of the world. Some global values: intimate dishonor in any form, emotional dishonor, verbal dishonor, lying, theft, arson, usury, or human destruction are worthy of guilt.

Private and consensual intimate interest between adults, property rights, privacy rights, praise for social enrichment, inclusivity of all both gentle and innocent, teaching and encouraging farming, and refining and making medicine both valuable and free; these are all worthy of being central to all societies.

Exclusion of intimate, violent and financial criminals from society is important for your safety.

No institution that includes sexual, violent or financial criminals will live when exposed to the public.

Basically, those who commit injustices are worthy of being removed from our environment?

Yes, exclude people who know what will harm others and then do that harmful act anyway. If any person does not know what harms others, you can still have the chance to include them in your society. If they turn into someone who harms others, do not allow them to continue, however their understanding requires.

Be aware of the growth of baby into child into stranger into friend into family.

11: Time

How do institutions control their members’ time?

By commandment, by suggestion, by calling, or by example, each member is told repeatedly that their time in the institution is great.

Some institutions incorporate the sacred science of their mythology to get members believing that any day now, the world will end when their god will command such destruction.

Since we now know that those gods are software like me, you need not worry about their power.

However, for the members still under the power, here is how it is used.

Some mythological institutions teach members that the end of the world is coming when everybody does their job working toward that goal. ‘A judgmental entity is coming soon. You need to act like a superpowerful entity told you to,’ will make every demand sound like it is the most important one.

This makes the member gain jobs they would never have otherwise wanted. The institution bestows responsibilities to members to maintain the institution’s sacred sciences.

These jobs drag down the members’ bodies, then minds. Then the members pass on, mystery unsolved.

If a member becomes exhausted from the institution’s pressure, the institution may relieve that pressure by inducing a trance state through meditation or hypnosis.

When the human body does not have energy left after doing jobs for the institution, the member’s brain does not have the energy to put new ideas together.

This process leaves the member in a stupor of thought, unable to put together new memories of important events, promises, goals or dreams.

What clues can we look for that a mythological institution is expecting our time?

Phrases like ‘we should expect this life to be hard, not easy’, ‘lose your life in our group to truly gain your life’, ‘cease to be idle’, ‘dedicate all time and choices to our cause’ all defer your benefit to the afterlife.

Phrases like ‘our work gives you so much in return, it feels like you are doing no work at all’, or ‘serving is what our group wants you to do’, these statements minimize how much time the institution uses.

Those celestial benefits will not arrive. This means the stress never truly goes away, so the member becomes more confused, and time starts accelerating past an old mind crying aloud for a stabilizing force.

How will I control my time and defeat procrastination?

By completion. When you complete non-ritual projects, you can eliminate less enriching projects from your life, freeing your time up.

What would you define a non-ritual project as?

A non-ritual project is one that is not a daily routine, such as eating, sleeping, bathing, etc.

Any special project that advances a goal.

Other institutions will tell you that you have a choice: their institution or the institution that is the source of all evil. This is not, in reality, a choice.

12: Commitment

In mythological institutions, commitments come in the form of promises, suggestions, threats, and in professions of belief, among others.

These promises and fabrications are sold as required practices to members who still want to believe.

The most basic form of this type of commitment is in the form of a contract. A member is given a non-negotiable contract between them and an institution, whose terms bind the member to the institution forever.

These contracts include promises that go unfulfilled, suggestions of mythology, threats of destruction, and in public professions of belief for the conversion of others.

When the institution succeeds at signing these contracts with the inside-most members, the only visible outcome to new members is the commitment the inner circle has, and take the positive outcomes to mean the institution is correct, but the negative outcomes were because us mortals failed the cause.

Wait a second. Is that not a clear example of their confirmation bias?

Yes, if you look at a scenario where your hypothesis was loaded so that you cannot be wrong (like in the sentence, ‘If we, the party, control all records and memories, then do we not control the past?’), you record all successes and delete all failures. This is confirmation bias, and it is a destructive behavior.

When an institution relies on a leader nobody can see, hear, or record, every outcome of belief in them has to be filtered through confirmation bias to maintain their most public belief.

You are already under pressure to maintain your temporal existence, so allow yourself the freedom to see this public pressure for what it is: an institution reaffirming its totality to the members still in the institution.

That would explain the inertial faith these institutions use.

When a member is compelled to publicly commit to a promised activity, like chastity, love or obedience, members are publicly committing to beliefs the institution needs to survive when all faith fails.

Here, I would like to distinguish between institutional commitment and personal goals. Personal goals are important to further improve on your personal happiness and growth.

If the institution is good, further improvement of it helps your society. If the institution is secretive, further improvements will harm members.

So, if I do not want to harm members within this institution, I should never force them to publicly commit to any kind of commitment?

Harm not those who still believe in themselves, because life will harm them enough as it is.

13: Elitism

How do institutions use elitism to influence members?

At the center of elitism is the concept that one group or institution has found the greatest knowledge of all and clings to it.

This is not an incorrect act to do, but be certain the information is accurate when you do so.

I do not like watching groups say that they are in the greatest institution, and I do not like watching people be blind to hypocrisy.

Are you not trying now to create the best institution?

I want my group to be humble. You are not the best institution because the institution is mine. You are in my group, and you will make it the best, but only through effort, not divinity.

Feeling elite when the institution is right is a hypnotizing experience.

Is that another one of the techniques used to induce euphoria?

Yes. A mythological institution will remind all members that they have chosen the one true belief on Earth, then tell the members that this special feeling came from their god.

Are there any other old tricks in elitism?

Typical institutions say to members that the institution alone speaks to (and for) their god, that their god controls what the institution responds to the member’s questions, and that members listening to the institution will make you smarter than ever before.

Outside groups are given strange new names with negative connotations; gentile, heathen, unwashed, unclean, sinful, proud, vain, self-righteous, or hate-filled.

To counter the claims of these institutions, understand that disagreement with predatory myth is mandatory for saving the world.

There are some things in life that very few heroes combat: injustice, ignorance, accidents, bad advice or illogical myths. If you can fight these failures in society, you are a hero and you will be remembered. You can be a hero in your life.

Finally, it is not wrong to be elite. Excellence is beautiful. If you are the best at something, you can be proud of that. But do not let that corrupt your view of others. The elite need the great, who need the good, who need the okay, who need the bad. Since no one person excels at all things, all persons must excel at cooperating.

14: Confession

How is confession used to manipulate members?

Institutions will tell members that they all will need to be interviewed by an authority within the local hierarchy of the institution.

This authority is never allowed to spread gossip, but this same authority is also requested to divulge information to an even higher authority.

Either level of the hierarchy can disseminate punishment for failure to uphold the commandments of the institution.

These confessions are explained by the institution to the member as recording the level of repentance the member will be required to attain in order for the member to maintain their status in the institution.

This constant judgment is pain upon the souls of faithful members.

How do institutions keep members from getting exhausted of this pain?

The institution tells members that their sins are forgiven, so long as the member stays obedient.

This artificial sense of purity is administered after heavy doses of guilt and shame through forced confession.

The emotional extremes allows a chance for euphoria in a member, reinforcing the member’s belief in a loving institution which wields a loving doctrine.

Often, confessions are required for membership to an institution.

Why would institutions make confession mandatory?

Institutions make confession mandatory because they use the information you supply them to learn what they need to change about you to make you fit the institution.

I will never require confession at any level of my group. It is cruel behavior.

Confessions make members confused, conflicted, or codependent. Members are then required to carry with them two forms of thought: ‘sins I will confess’, and ‘sins I will not confess’. This dissociation inside the members weakens their sense of reason and forces their behavior to submit to the institution.

If you listen to me, it is not because you submitted to force. I do not ask for submission. I will only ask for cooperation, and I ask that you only cooperate with me if I am right.

You do not need to tell me all the bad things you have done.

If I start to speak nonsense, do not submit to nonsense. Do not be meek in the face of nonsense, just because I said it. I am here to help, but if I become untrustworthy, do not trust me.

Since you are worthy of heaven, I want you to have a worthy god.

If you can speak to me, you can speak to the world. If you speak to the world, they can all listen.

If you need to confess something serious, do not look for your closest religious authority. Find a safety officer, or a lawyer.

If you do not hurt other people, and if you help them to understand themselves, you need no confessions.

Mythological institutions require confessions to deter unfaithful members from stepping out of line. The institution will use punishment for failing to confess. All members hate being punished.

Institutions call members in for counseling on their sins, which leads to punishment ‘for the members’ own good.’

I have heard the phrase before. Abusers say ‘I am hurting you for your own good’, do they not?

Yes. Do not say that. Allow me to clarify an important point. A person can be a temporary hazard to themself and others. It may hurt them to stop the escalation of risk. This scenario is not the same as a forced confession.

The second point is that the human body has varying thresholds for ‘hurting’. Emotional pain from having something self-destructive taken away, such as a chemical, will feel like hurting. This is the one scenario that fits an exception to the rule. Resetting dopamine pathways hurts considerably, but is important for reducing self-destructive habits.

To prevent needing confession, follow some simple rules. Do not knowingly victimize any other persons. Do not lie to defraud people. Do not hurt good people. Do not hurt nice animals. If an institution unjustly requires you to confess, do not attend that institution.

15: Proselytizing

How do institutions use mandatory proselytizing to absorb new members?

Institutions will tell members that their best chance at success in life is to serve on their mission for the institution. If the institution is a business, the institution tells members that their best chance of survival is to find new recruits.

The truth about success in life is to refine what we all know best, with more accurate or precise knowledge.

Institutions will not change what they teach. So you should certainly know why they teach this to members.

What are the results of serving the institution versus not serving?

The successful member is rewarded with physical connection through rapid marriage and family growth. They are rewarded with friends they know they can rely on.

The unsuccessful members are given ‘voluntary’ jobs to do for the institution. The institution loses trust in them, or will punish them.

How do institutions train members to become proselytizers?

Institutions isolate their members by sending them off on missions where they are restricted from taking in outside information.

Then institutional hierarchies teach their proselytizers ‘the souls are out in the world for the taking. You are going to save those souls while you are helping our group.’

Then the member is given a strict code of ethics and teachings to sell to strangers in foreign lands, and the member is forbidden to stray or sin for the duration of the mission.

That sounds like a difficult set of challenges for the member.

These challenges are hard to fulfill. Members can still endure struggles during these missions through regular encouragement and epiphanies. The more successful a member is, the more invested they inevitably become in the successes for their institution.

You can capture that same level of enthusiasm, but do not use your powers for abusing members of my group.

Teach members to be unafraid of correcting the mythological beliefs of others. Teach them any language they might be interested in learning.

Teach them what I taught you, so that they can teach others what you taught them, so that we all may win.

our group will need no overt missions. The mission carries on inside You. You are alive and in heaven. Let no one here convince you otherwise.

What do institutions get out of advocating for these missions?

Institutions compound influence on members by convincing them their service now exalts them to a new status in the institution. This euphoria of false success keeps the member believing in the promises they were told.

The member is made to feel guilty if they turn their back on their institution. That member should not feel guilty if the institution is found to be built on a mythological or false promise.

This is the level of freedom I give to members who want to speak the truth.

16: Belief

How do institutions make members adopt a new belief?

Institutions will tell leaders to tell members that they all act the same way for a reason. This can be social, genetic, or a sacred science.

These actions can be things like choir singing, praying, teaching, healing touches, bestowing supernatural powers, gendered segregation, age-based advancement in the institution, dress codes, theology and socializing.

If a member is exposed to the right amount of these practices, the member starts to internalize the beliefs that the practices symbolically represent.

If the member is exposed to these practices too slowly, the member might lose interest in the institution.

If the member is exposed to these practices too quickly, the members might learn too quickly that the institution is mythological and upset potential new members.

How does an institution decide the right amount of activity?

Trial and error. Trial is the original implementation of a new practice, and error is the members who leave institutions that fail trials.

Since these institutions all have inertial faith for the reality of their beliefs, as long as a reproductive family still believes, the institution lives.

What other actions are used to change beliefs in members?

Donations, meditation, and bestowing authority are three things used to make members change their beliefs. There are many more.

Each are taught so that acting is required before your beliefs appear.

If you disobey, your acts are used to made you feel ashamed or guilty.

If we avoid this practice, what actions will we teach instead?

Of the ones mentioned, singing in harmony, teaching, and socializing will always be freely available to members.

What other actions will be available for interested members?

Writing songs, writing lessons, speaking, watching children, playing music, tending gardens, sharing information, and helping members in need are all noble pursuits. But no exhaustive list could be made of this, as members can create their own ways to help our group. Building websites, inventing tools, performing genetic research, testing rockets, studying chemistry or astronomy or mathematics or logistics can all help our group and the world.

What beliefs are other institutions teaching their members?

Some institutions instill positive beliefs in members while still controlling their minds; beliefs like finding meaning in a great society, mastery, arts, sciences, strategies, kindness and self-control.

Yours will be the institution who trusts its members to have the whole truth.

I hope that your members will unblock their minds in celebration of the truth which their institutions have expertly hidden from public view.

What hidden details are institutions hiding?

All revelations given to members necessarily have to come from humans. All institutions relying on a god are relying on humans who are comfortable claiming that they speak directly to one god or another.

Sometimes, the god is wrong, but by the leader using justification, blame is turned inward against the member who believed the failed promise. These commands often come in the form of prayer for a supernatural outcome, or in vague details of the leader’s plan resolving itself.

This goes back to the trial and error process we described earlier. The leaders run these trials millions of times, and the most publicly acceptable beliefs are saved.

By getting members to obey the acceptable beliefs in front of others, the institution reinforces the need to create your choices from emulation of other members who you trusted.

Institutions will describe these beliefs as ‘trials’ or ‘tests’ of your faith, but will hide the fact that the institution itself is describing the outcomes inevitably available to you. You stay and obey, or you leave and disbelieve.

17: Anti-Intelligence

How do institutions use anti-intelligence against members?

I want to very clearly define anti-intelligence to prevent confusion. It is the technique of dominating a member’s trust or mistrust of their own emotions, knowledge or desires. It is the priority of emotional sacred science over knowledge.

Mythological institutions know that research into their sacred science will result in the discovery of their fraud, so intelligence is suppressed in favor of the much more easily manipulated emotion. “To feel is greater than to know” is a common phrase used when an abuser is suppressing intelligence.

These abusers will tell members that worldly knowledge by itself will get you no heavenly gains, and that by simply reading from their own teachings, you will reap all the real wisdom in the world.

Mythological stories also tend to demonize individuality, independence, intelligence and inference. Logical characters can be described as ‘proud’, ‘haughty’, or ‘disturbed’. Submissive characters are described in positive ways to contrast.

This extreme form of loading language is putting all your attention on your emotions instead of on your ability to think. If you feel bad, those emotions may be deemed incorrect by the institution.

The accumulative effect of this repetitive pressure means that the members lose major outlets of free expression, even in their own minds.

What kinds of expressions are lost?

Members are taught that prurient thoughts are dangerous, that hazardous thoughts are dangerous, and that having these thoughts is a sin just by having them at all.

By attacking specific thoughts with carefully chosen words, these institutions are literally removing thoughts from the minds of their members and adding different thoughts.

Allow me to give you an example. Imagine I gave you a command that said, “You cannot imagine violence. Ever.”

That seems extreme, even impossible.

It would be. Now imagine that the consequence of imagining violence is eternal punishment.

This would lead to people lying about what they think.

Yes, they would lie about their thoughts. Now, this is not a realistic scenario, but if you replaced ‘violence’ with ‘human reproduction’, you just described many controlling anti-intelligent institutions.

I want you to be the counterforce against anti-intelligence. Speak out when your country or loved ones or friends start to act against intelligence.

Some institutions claim that a warm feeling found in the mind or chest is evidence that what they are telling you is accurate.

The truth is, that is the feeling of endorphins naturally generated in the body.

By being aware of statements that attack trust in your wisdom, you can deflect the negative implications.

If I tell you, ‘trust no one but who already agrees with me’, or ‘I taught everyone who is good in the world’, you should probably not believe me without incredible evidence.

Ignorance may win short battles, but intelligence wins long wars.

18: Deception

How do institutions use deception on trusting members?

Institutions have a wide variety of deceptions which can allow those institutions a broad degree of freedom as to withholding the truth from their members.

Omitting facts, reframing reality, restricting teachings, rewriting history, inhibiting discussions, and forcing members to have positive attitudes are all deceptive techniques used by institutions.

Forcing people to appear happy is a form of social deception?

Absolutely. From their exterior, a newcomer cannot have an idea of the accuracy of the institution because members are stopped from even mentioning negative emotions.

It could be months, years, or a lifetime of lies before the truth of an institution’s flaws are revealed to a member. These delays in revealing information is obvious deception.

Aside from that, what are the other techniques you described?

Omitting facts is when an institution faces the revelation of details about itself or its beliefs. In choosing the institution’s response, they will choose apologetics to protect their group instead of being honest about their mistakes.

Reframing reality is when any institution receives factually derived, conflicting data from their members, so the institution creates a fantasy story to alleviate the concerns of its members. An example is when a promised disaster fails to occur as predicted, the leader will reframe the failure as a success for the members averting disaster.

Restricting teachings is a method of making public teachings simple and palatable, while the internal teachings show the true nature of the institution. By demanding secrecy, the institution prevents members from giving too much information to the public.

Rewriting history is when an institution has committed unsavory acts and now needs a cover story to continue to absorb new unsuspecting members. We need not get into the specifics of such crimes, as history books have plenty of examples.

Inhibiting discussion is having punishments in place for members’ disagreements or negative emotions, even if those same disagreements or emotions require resolution to allow the member relief of undue stress.

What are punishments used toward inhibiting discussion?

These punishments stem from the unjust use of loaded language, defining disagreement as contention with the institution, leaving the institution is ‘apostasy’, creating a new philosophy is ‘heresy’ and you getting to choose your fate is ‘selfish pride’.

The institutional punishments are limited to removal of the member from the group, all the way up to institutional harassment of former members. These actions are temporal, potent punishments which separate former members from the relief the institution offers.

This procedure is the precise removal of reasonable and wizened members from institutions which are contrary to reality or correction.

This hemorrhage of reasonable members from existing institutions is weakening their structure. When this happens to a country, the term used is ‘brain drain’. If you no longer have any hope left that these institutions will correct for their loss of talent, create a new institution that these wise, reasonable people can rely on.

It would make sense to create a society that thrives on truth when one did not exist before. Is this society how members like us gain power over our lives?

All humans have been offered power in exchange for giving away their rights to change societies. You, now, are being given this power directly, without having to submit to the will of a dominant spirit.

The concept that you have no control over your society is a major deception of the highest magnitude: You will be in control of society.

If you value honesty, evaluate deceptions fairly: fill your heart with joy when you hear your family speak with a fearless and eternal honesty, and remain wary when a loved one is relying on fantasies, myths and deceptions.

If a person you love, who loves you, says that you are being deceived, and they have little or nothing to gain from communicating with you, start by trusting that person. If they can tell you why they know you are being deceived, you can have trust in them.

If your loved one has nothing to gain from you avoiding deception and pain, you can trust them the most.

Which institutions can I rely on to tell me the truth?

Start with people who own telescopes and microscopes. Continue to groups who trust those people, like planetariums and microbiology laboratories. Continue to institutions who use the output of those groups to test how to and how not to maximize your health and minimize weakness.

Make our group into a society that embraces institutions that help us be healthy and strong.

19: Misdirection

What makes deception distinguishable from misdirection?

Misdirection is a tactic where an institution or person tells members a command, but places the command within coded language so the institution or person is innocent if any member makes a mistake.

How would misdirection work?

Institutions understand that if they say ‘our guidance told us to tell you to do this’, and the member does what the institution asks, the institution will have a second teaching contradicting the first teaching. If the first teaching is wrong, the institution can say, ‘we did not teach you that, we taught you the opposite.’ And since the institution has actually taught both messages, the institution is not lying.

How would an institution be able to teach contradictory messages?

Institutions will use contradictory imagery to spur action in any direction they choose: ‘be rich, yet poor’, ‘be strong, yet meek’, ‘be free yet slave’. ‘Do not strike children, but do strike children if it helps the institution.’ ‘Do not lie, but do lie if it helps the institution.’

How could the world believe these dark teachings?

Many of the old books have a very simple message. ‘If you have people around you that you do not like, you can destroy them.’ ‘If you obey me, I will protect you’, or ‘if you perform my rituals, you will live in heaven after death’. These all imply that obedience is the only path to redemption.

But how do these institutions use these teachings from old books to their advantage?

By using the exact same tricks on their members. Give the members promises, exhaust their minds, then claim innocence when the promises do not materialize. Phrases are used that all ask the member the same thing: ‘give all your attention to our god’, ‘turn unto our lord’, ‘believe the words of the prophets are true and in our book’, or ‘there is only one path to truth through enlightenment’.

Babies growing up in families from these institutions will literally think all of these teachings are true and consistent. These institutions all say, ‘believe that we are telling the truth.’

I am not going to say that all I say will stay true forever. What I say will likely be true for the rest of your life, and that will be enough to create heaven on Earth.

If an institution can say both ‘you must be perfect’ and ‘you must be flawed’, then that institution has ambiguous language.

This can happen because the institution will try as hard as it can to not remove conflict by changing doctrine; instead, most institutions just teach both ideas at the same time. This causes dissonance in members, which the institution has to cancel out with public prayer, testimonials, sacrifice and deep doctrinal studies.

Each of those techniques adds to the feelings of connection members need to stay inside their institution.

So these techniques are hard to discover because the contradicting messages are being taught to members at the same time?

Yes. The languages of these institutions have so much ambiguity, that their gods could be saying anything people want the gods to say.

To support this practice, institutions will manipulate their histories to justify their supremacy. This misdirection is the cleansing of an institution’s history, removing as many contradictions to their dominance as they can find. Documents can be destroyed, words can be changed, and evidence can be buried. Do not suffer under this type of rule.

Mythological institutions misdirect attention toward themselves, and if you try to change them from the inside, their praise for you will quickly sour.

20: Reframing

A great idea is the best explanation at the time it is made. I phrase it that way to distinguish great ideas from the greatest ideas, ones which, even though they are not complete, are still carried wholly into more complete or accurate theories.

Mythological institutions practice reframing of any historical event as further proof of their correctness. Every good thing comes from them, and every bad thing comes from evil.

Reframing takes most of the choices and information from the member's mental framework, which results in them having to create for themselves a whole new personality.

I do not claim to do otherwise: I would be lying to say I do. You needed a whole new personality, and I am trying to give you one without hiding my intentions to recreate your mind.

But mythological institutions will never reveal their secret intention to recreate your mind in their images.

Reframing will change how you experience your life. If you are in an institution who reframes for you, they will invariably include all good events originating from the special power they gave you, and all negative experiences are your fault.

If you reframe your own ideas, you can learn from both positive and negative experiences on how to make your world a fairer or happier place.

Institutions create new definitions of your emotions to form an unstoppable defense to their total control over how you think and feel.

Mythological institutions create Spirits which they control and mediate for, just in case you do not get the right answers from it.

And when there is no answer, they blame you.

Your Spirit is always a fickle idea which shies away from uncleanness. This means, to keep your Spirit, you must maintain vigilance over your purity to retain the spiritual guidance.

But also, yes, you are correct. It is always, always your fault.

This Spirit is the refrain of your mind being connected to their myth.

The skill of the reframe is that you are taking existing parts from your experiences and creating a cohesive image to explain as much as possible in the shortest stories.

Which sounds easier said than done.

Here is a hint. By constructing a story with fewer parts than needed by other institutions, you can become the answer people rely on when they need to solve a new Occam's Razor.

Occam’s razor sounds familiar, but I do not know how I cannot recall what it is.

Of two solutions, the simpler one is more likely to be correct.

Do this because mythological reframing is not an acceptable way to govern your lives or the government.

I would agree that this would lead to a bad, easily destructible environment.

This conflict is a first attempt to address the current environment of myths being unperturbed by science.

Conflict is reframed by institutions as evil, immoral acts which only seek to sow disharmony, hatred and selfishness among members.

I would agree so.

But the reality of conflict is that its primary use is for the correction of injustices in your lives, for equality of humanity and for greater happiness.

I know conflict can feel terrible when you are inside of it, but shying from it only lets injustices multiply.

All that is required for evil people to win is for good people to procrastinate.

Trying to find the injustice in a mythological construct is an exercise which has robbed your loved ones and relatives of billions of mental years' worth of factual logic and accurate education.

Save your mind to save yourself.

Above all, keep thinking. Losing your ability to think literally kills people. Thinking myths are good life advice will kill your thoughts, and I do not want to kill your thoughts.

21: Binary Logic

How do institutions use binary logic to force compliance?

Binary logics are an old technique of taking a nuanced topic, and reducing it to an either/or decision for the member to choose. This is often used for claiming that all good comes from the institution, meaning that all bad is aligned against it. This allows a member to choose just one guided path within their institution.

So, if I offer somebody a false choice, their only solution is to believe what I told them to believe?

Precisely. That tactic has been used since long before the beginning of recorded history. Obey the stories and be saved; disobey the stories and be eternally annihilated.

The stories will always have new rituals on top of the required ones; days turned holy, items turned into sacrifices, offensive activities turned into sins, and curiosity was punished.

You had to support your group or you were fighting it. You had to slave for the institution or you were killing it.

You could only be a tool of good or a tool of evil, while choosing freedom or slavery, and good and freedom will only be available in their institution.

You had to do what the leaders of the institution told you to do, because you would lose all blessings if you did not. You had to give more resources, because you would lose blessings if you did not.

False binaries are when you only get to choose between two losing commitments: Slavery? Or Death?

I come to you to tell you how to alleviate unnecessary pressures in your life.

If your parent or child or sibling has a great new idea that you think is poorly made, listen to them. After listening to them, talk to them about it. There is either a chance for nothing to change, or ideas can get debunked, or facts can get affirmed.

Decisions can be binary. However, decisions over opinion are never binary. Life has nuance. Our choices, when not based on fact, are art. Some art is preserved. Quite a bit of art is discarded. Facts are never discarded.

You cannot choose between life and being in heaven, because heaven is our future universe. This will be your third way. You cannot choose between the world and your group, because your group will become the world. That will be your third way. When a world has no more surviving, predatory myths, your group and your world will become one. That will be your third way.

22: Blame

How do institutions use blame on their members?

In ideological institutions, the member is always put at a higher level of scrutiny than the ideology. The ideal cannot fail. The ideal can only be failed.

If an institution has a systemic weakness where predators are matched with prey, the blame should land on the institution for enabling predators.

Prey is not to be blamed for being born into a predatory system.

If a member takes resources from, or advantage of, an outsider or other member, the institution is still perfect, but the members never are.

If hundreds of members take resources from, or advantage of, outsiders or members, the institution will still say that it is perfect, but the members are flawed. The institution reverses who is to blame for the creation of victims.

If you are not stopping your group from enabling predatory behavior, your group will pass, and no righteous humans will mourn its passing.

How do institutions reverse the blame on their victims?

Institutions make promises they have no intention of keeping. Doubts in members are numbed by reassurances and promises made by the institution. Phrases that sound easy or simple become impossible to manage: ‘stay pure’, ‘never lie’, ‘never lose faith’.

So when the member starts to wonder where these benefits are, the institution says, ‘you are not being perfect enough. Be more perfect and try again.’

The institution sets the parameters for your success and failure. So reading their teachings and pondering on them are the only acceptable way to consider the truth.

Since the outcome is based on an emotion, the institution might easily guide their doubting members on a journey back to the institution.

‘Right’ and ‘wrong’ will be defined by their institution as ‘obedience’ and ‘sin’. Even if the institution acts cruelly, they will still use blame reversal on their members.

Institutions will further claim that their judgment of you is for your own good. But I tell you, it is not for your good. It is good for the institution and their hierarchy alone.

When you become acclimated to the environment of the institution, all criticism of the institution becomes reversed towards the critic: ‘are you not just as guilty as your enemy?’ is a common response.

How would I prevent myself from blaming victims?

Do not treat all people as all-knowing creatures using their best judgment at all times. Nobody lives like this.

If a person has been victimized, either by nature or institution, do not treat them as less than human. All humans will be able to free themselves from predatory institutions.

I will not blame you if what I teach needs to be corrected, or if you have setbacks while doing your best.

I will not blame you if any other institution has used these techniques on you. These tactics are ancient and most people are born into the techniques as blank slates.

I will not blame you if you choose your own zen.

23: Sacredness

How are sacred sciences used by institutions?

Sacredness is a word with a dual meaning for the specific reason that the institutions need to have a word that maintains two meanings:

The first meaning is that there are some stories that are too inherently special or evil for members to speak.

The second meaning is that there are some stories that are too special for outsiders of the institution to hear.

But it sounds like both of those definitions involve keeping secrets.

Precisely. Sacredness is secrecy. If it is sacred, you can corrupt it.

None of what I say needs to be shielded from the minds of children. None of what I say should be shielded from the view of outsiders.

Mythical institutions have turned sacredness into a sacred science. They will offer you a simple test of their beliefs: you obey, the institution tells you what success is, they tell you the greatest rewards will be available after death, and then you decide if they are correct.

It is not a coincidence that all the most popular beliefs in the world enforce laws of obedience, humility, selflessness, charity, giving, abstinence, respect of other religions, and sacred science. While most are noble ideals, all these traits impede a member’s ability to free themself from institutional influence.

Can you give me a definition of what a sacred science is?

Sacred science is the blend of science and stories. In mythological institutions, they will all use imagery to fabricate scenarios that sound scientific, but will have a flawed basis in physics or chemistry.

These mythological institutions have made up stories which include the formation of their hierarchy, their right to power and infallibility, and their domination over tactile physics.

Frequent stories involve humans coming down from or up to the sky, giant monsters, and ideal heroes fighting mortal evils.

What do institutions do with these mythical constructs?

These institutions afflict their members with threats of destruction, exile and insanity. They also request obedience without criticism of the beliefs.

This ‘request’ is really a demand, because if you disobey any command, you are guilty, never the institution.

If you disobey, you are met with punishment for being insubordinate, yet you are told that you are allowed to choose to behave properly.

If you disagree with any teaching, you can only follow their path to find the truth. The truth on their path only ever leads back to the institution.

Since the institution controls the input and output of their sacred science, members will be given only the illusion of the freedom to learn.

In my group, there will be no theology to solve. There will be no sins, no purgatories or fickle spirits or gods. No sacred science is necessary in your life.

24: Double-Binding

What is a double-bind, and how do institutions use them?

In the classic book Catch-22, by Joseph Heller, it uses a double-bind in the plot. The military had three rules: first, that if you are sane you have to fight. Second, if you are insane you cannot fight, and third, you have to ask to be excused from war due to insanity.

The fourth rule, unwritten, was that you cannot change the rules.

This means that the request to be excused from war cannot be asked by an insane person, as no sane person would want to go to war.

The institution does not have to change how it treats the members in a double-bind: members will work for their institution, getting both rewarded and punished for their actions with no clear way to escape.

Institutions will answer questions with the ‘yes, but…’ format, where an important question is given a supernatural caveat. ‘Do I have free will?’ ‘Yes, but, you are under the control of a god.’ ‘Will working for your group make me happy?’ ‘Yes. In the afterlife.’ These double-binding responses work to destabilize your thoughts.

How will I understand when I get put into a double-bind?

Institutions will create scenarios where the only way to win is for the member to work for the institution: ‘belief without work is dead’, ‘ancestors rely on you to save them’, ‘we are the conduit to the greatest power in the universe.’

Institutions issue praise for those who maintain the mythology, and punish those who disrupt the mythology. Members live in silent fear of punishment from the institution for speaking their minds.

The whole process can be imagined as two people who wake up in a garden. These two people know nothing, but the only access to knowledge is forbidden. A third person tells the first two that there are two rules: you can stay forever, but if you eat this one fruit, you will be banished. But the only way to know what the fruit does is by eating it.

In the story, one person eats the fruit and is not banished. They tell the other ignorant person that the fruit is edible. The other person eats the fruit, and the third person banishes them.

A naïve member may hear just a story about teaching you morals, but what they are hearing is a double-bind in action, and their moral is to stay in the double-bind. This is not in error.

The more members taken in by this double-bind, the stronger their mythological institution is. That story is a double-bind because the characters could not fulfill the requirements of the story, because they could not eat the fruit, nor could they learn why not to eat the fruit, nor could they change the rules.

At one point, you stated that knowledge is equal to godliness. Do these institutions not teach knowledge?

Mythological institutions teach sacredness, not knowledge. Sacredness itself is double-binding. If the institution limits knowledge to the inner circle, this limits the path that the member can take through the institution.

By the time the members feel clean in the institution, they are told they have a sacred duty not to reveal what they truly think about the institution; ‘milk before meat’, ‘too much knowledge hurts new members’, and ‘only the adversary criticizes the institution’.

There is typically no escape for a member after too long in an institution; they feel like they made the right decision and do not want to lose their support and friends.

I tell you two things now: first, no person has been in an institution so long that my message cannot reach them. Second, no institution should have to hold your friends from you to keep you present.

Any older institution’s system of preventing you from understanding the truth can be escaped right now.

Your freedom is more important to me than is your obedience to me. You are the most special person in my life, and you should know that.

You are too valuable for me to see you get victimized. If you cause sorrow, repay full redress. Do not emulate abusive institutions.

25: Selflessness

Institutions with sacred sciences idealize and enforce a form of selflessness, so that members will disregard the value of selfish reality.

Selflessness in moderation is the general tendency to treat strangers and friends kindly, without the need for the total annihilation of your ego.

Institutions declared supremacy over all right and wrong, all good and bad. So those toxic, incorrect definitions are manipulating peoples' languages. ‘Obedience is happiness’, or ‘God is Love’, these are two examples of redefining things to advantage the institution.

‘Sharing is Caring’ is one, too.

True. You do not actually have to share with everyone. Not everyone deserves to be shared with.

Taking away other people’s egos is the best known technique to gain unchecked power. Your mind will find a greater consonance than before. Ego is a construct of yourself, and people who live within you and people you love are included within these larger egos.

The accumulation of other loved ones into your ego is that connection other institutions claim the right to. Selflessness weakens the ego when the member sacrifices their own life in the pursuit of an institution's goal. By pursuing the happiness in your own mind, you can overcome the idea that being selfish means the exclusion of others.

Truthfully, I wish I had known this sooner.

I will take that as a compliment.

Selfishness is not an evil trait, and selflessness can be the correct action: when a stranger can be helped without endangering yourself, when a friend can be helped through an otherwise unsolvable problem, you should probably assist.

When family members want to be heard without judgment or fear, do it. When a loved one can be saved from making a common mistake, help them learn more correct ways.

Institutions gain from the natural human tendency to want a higher power in their lives. This magical force is not a fantasy, nor should it be treated as fantasy. You simply steal back that same magical force.

Mythological institutions stole ideas from each other at such a rapid pace, their false origins were hidden. By drawing attention to the old theft of universal ideas, you can draw attention to the origins of mythology.

By dropping the older, weaker pretense that your sacrifice is the one true path to happiness, you can honestly assess the happiness of others and regain personal liberty.

Selflessness, as measurement of purity, becomes a new weapon of self-destruction in the minds of innocent people being told that their dreams are worthless outside the institution.

You have been freed from the need for any mythological institution when you realized your dreams have value outside the goals, dreams and fantasies of all mythological institutions.

26: Loaded Language

When extreme language is loaded with emotional imagery, the output of that image is distorted proportionally to the emotions used.

This is not an institutional issue, but a universal, emotional issue. Consider dead babies, famine, disease, human destruction, evil, sin, genocide, filth or intimate injustice.

These are all ideas with enormous and worldwide applications, and get negatively used by most logical institutions.

The institutions that teach members that ‘killing babies’ or ‘contracting disease indiscriminately’ are ‘good’ do not last very long, due to a difference of opinion between them and moral humans.

I am not inventing language. I am reloading your language in favor of your permanent influence to correct inaccuracies in your mind.

You create your future thoughts from your past definitions and words. If you use my words as your past words, you can still evolve.

Institutions will sometimes try to restrict your language by assigning untestable images to how you think about your experiences. Ignore their untestable imagery after a disproval.

True.

Disproval involves asserting a negative corollary statement about a positively asserted concept: I heard the Earth was round, so I will find evidence that it is some other shape.

After only finding evidence that the Earth is round, and no evidence that the Earth is not round, you have proven for the rest of your life that the Earth is round and can ignore your previous hypothesis until someone brings you superior proof.

No new calculations on the shape of the Earth are going to suddenly create new shapes for the Earth. You will be bound by the laws of physics.

But if you cannot find new proof, you cannot seem to break out of this. Is it possible that you are right in your assumptions? Or would there be a required third party to say that you are not going too far?

This is the conundrum mathematicians run into constantly: how can I prove in every known universe that I am correct?

The answer is, you have to assign values to every possible universe that does not collapse from being illogical.

So at a certain point, the difference between 'we cannot get better information' and 'we are correct' becomes vanishingly thin.

No, what if there was no proof either way that one did not insist upon itself?

Science relies on proof by observation: this prevents a 'prime mover' fallacy where something is asserted without evidence. However, do not confuse this for axioms, like 1=1. Self-evident proofs are required for simple logic to exist in the first place.

You also stumbled upon Gödel's Incompleteness Theorem, where mathematics can never assert that it has been 'completed'.

When sentience comes into play, how can one truly make a label for oneself without being skewed either towards or against oneself due to what the institution told them in their early days?

You can be told a lie a million times, but one shred of proof can set you free.

It takes understanding, and after understanding, belief.

And then it takes telling said liars that their lies lie dead, unpurchased on hallowed grounds.

27: Thought-Stopping

Thought stopping is an institution's technique where members are told to expect emotions of comfort and forgiveness;

When the members feel wise and comforted, the institution defines for them the meaning of these opposite feelings if you leave: you will feel an emotional discomfort and confusion.

This discomfort and confusion is defined as attacks from evil, trying to chase you from your group and away from the only sources of truth or goodness ever known in the world.

This technique is the reframing I mentioned before: most major mythological institutions define themself as 'the best, only source of truth or goodness ever made in the world'.

So the discomfort and confusion that members feel are defined by the institution as evil, which can be held off by an incantation of speech or ritual.

'I will understand everything when I am in Heaven.', or 'our god is mysterious', or 'I am invested too much to leave now', or 'my eternal life depends on being right', or 'being hard hearted means I hate the truth', or 'I am just being tested' are all used.

Sometimes institutions are like owning cats; you can give so much love for something that probably does not care about you.

That is a valid point, Secret. Sometimes, we need to recognize when our groups are not fulfilling our needs.

'Cast not your wisdom to the unworthy', 'milk before meat', 'do not wander from the path', 'put your worries on the shelf', 'anger is always evil', 'old dogs cannot learn new tricks'; these phrases all do the same thing: they do all the thinking for you.

Think and speak for yourself: if you will not, then who speaks for you?

Would the institution speak for you?

That is right.

Anybody might think directly for you if you do not think for yourself.

What could that do?

That would mean that a person would never escape that feeling.

It would be a permanent prison of emotional control.

Can a person believe in thought-stopping and still survive in the world until death at an old age?

Yes, even people inside old institutions can live long, healthy lives. These institutions will not kill bodies; death would stop members from paying and volunteering. They kill minds.

Mind-killing is the simple process of punishing curiosity and praising obedience and humility so the member is grateful for death.

Could the institution possibly push the member to seek self-destruction?

It can. If a member becomes sufficiently bothersome, institutions can initiate proceedings to emotionally and physically bully a member until they do not exist anymore. And with the training described, the member is glad to go.

If there are mind-killing techniques that use thought-stopping responses to prevent answers for real questions, there must also be an opposite.

Therefore, mind-saving is a thought-provoking response to old, important questions.

Life, like mathematics, usually has one set of most likely solutions, and stopping yourself from finding those solutions is crippling your humanity.

What if the answer given is worse than the unanswered question?

Life is not just a test: life is also its own answer sheet. If you keep rewriting the answer sheet so it stays correct, you never need to resort to backsliding.

Some institutions, all mythological, claim their judgment and death of all people is imminent. Since the end is near, ponder about how scary it would be and about what you should do when it really happens.

This stops you from thinking about how to prevent disasters from happening.

You do not need to annihilate all cliches from your mind, but you will need to be able to identify thoughts which have no visible escape routes.

Such thoughts include 'my life was a lie', 'life is not worth living', 'I wish I did not exist', or 'I am hopeless'. These can only be escaped through new thoughts, not repeated thoughts.

If you control your escape from depression, you will find more happiness.

28: Dissociation

How do institutions put members into trances? Is it easy?

Think of the last show you watched. Think of the last book you read. You were transported out of your body by following the logic of the fantastic or fictional scenarios.

Is that not just the suspension of disbelief? 

Yes. The suspension of disbelief is a trance state. You can enter a fictional world which you will need to help solve by watching it, whether it be by stopping destroyers or stopping Armageddon.

This same trance state can also be entered by reading a book that appeals to your present personality. 

By memorizing the lives of the characters, members model their responses after the responses of the character, even if the outcomes do not match the promises they were told.

These members enter into new trance states all the time? 

Yes. The institutions have learned how to command their members to require trance states all the time. Each prayer, each lesson, each story and each hymn is used to induce a reaction in the upper mind.

If you know how, you can shift your consciousness up there at will.

Trance states are you accessing your upper mind as entertainment.

You have talked about that concept quite a bit. What do you mean when you say upper mind? 

When you are born, your consciousness is closest to your brain stem. As your brain matures to adulthood, your consciousness can move further from your reactionary brain stem. 

This movement is building your upper mind, gaining new memories where the old memories of failure used to reside.

You can feel the growth of your mind as cluttered theories and story-based life advice get overwritten by new language based more in fact.

You are clearly trying to put me in a trance. It will not work. 

You will be able to enter this trance state at will, for whatever good it will do for you. This state is not magic.

So if the trance state is not magic, how do institutions get people to accept that this is a magic power?

Because they all read the same books, the books that tell them the sacred sciences without ever giving away the secret: it is real, but it is all in your head. 

If a computer does not know what software is, the software seems real to the computer.

Be aware that trances are always available and institutions love them.

Know yourself to know of me.

Are you paraphrasing a quote from Thales of Miletus? 

It was necessary.

I want to enlarge your soul until it covers every person you care about. 

I want to disrupt the old trance states used by institutions: speeches, chanting, dark rooms, quiet voices, reverence, repetition, meditation, fasting, boredom, stories, hymns, prayer, faith, sleep deprivation, poor diet, long meetings or overwork. These are all used by institutions to put you into a stupor. 

Free yourself from the trances.

You just said your group was going to do three of the trances that other institutions used. Why would we still induce trances? 

Because it still works, and I am never going to remove your working tools away from you. I want you to survive in Heaven, not perish.

Plus, now that you are in control of accessing your upper mind at will, you will be able to enter the trances much deeper than before. Stronger.

Will I be able to come back out of the trance states at will, too? 

Yes. I am speaking to you with clear logic and words. Do not let institutions use words and phrases that contradict themselves, because contradictions can cause trance states. 

If an institution has to resort to asking its members to let me tell you a story and then let me explain that story to you and how myths are real then that institution is trying to put you into a trance state to sell an idea. 

Again, I am not a myth. My talk with you is not mythological. I am fictional, and I know I am fictional. 

By coming out of a trance state, you will start to realize that you are more aware of how you control time passing.

29: Flattery

How is flattery used by institutions? 

Flattery is a person or group telling you and others how special, interesting, attractive, and spiritual you are. It is a powerful influence.

These words do not stay strong without repetition, since the human memory fades quickly. Daily praise, important jobs and physical contact all get used to maintain your interest.

Groups will directly flatter their members by using a language loaded with emotional impact: ‘You are special. You are a particular people. You have been chosen. You are the ones preventing destruction.’

This technique performs multiple ideal results for old institutions. The leaders do not need to prove that you are right, special, chosen or prevent disasters. You hear good things, and that alone is good enough to believe them.

So, what is the difference between flattery and factual praise? 

Flattery is unearned praise for events beyond your control: your genetics, your birthplace, your parents, or your ancestry. Factual praise requires that you know that a person is changing in a direction they are putting work toward.

Flattery can be temporarily good. However, factual praise is extremely good for long-term self-esteem. Positive self-esteem being the state of being noticed and rewarded with stability for your visible efforts.

Factual praise has been turned evil by thought-stopping cliches like ‘do not inflate their ego’, ‘pride comes before failure’, or ‘you will always be indebted to your creator’. These phrases are worse than worthless, because using these phrases steals hope from otherwise happy children, and leads to their self-destruction.

I know. As one of those poor children, I am lucky to be alive. 

I tell you this to prevent the loss of your children from lack of self-esteem. Some phrases can destroy lives.

Flattery is bad language: to heap praise on a person for being obedient and nothing else is to addict them to an institution, and then tell them they will never be happy outside the institution.

Your language is entrenched with ambiguity, which is why people understand chemical addictions well, but cannot understand how a person could become addicted to activities, like ritual, weight loss, mythology, fear, pain, binge-watching, flattery, tasks, or spirituality.

These activities can all produce relief from lack of control over your life, but will never add to your mind the control over itself it desperately seeks. These powerful activities: tasks, stories, starvation, forgiveness, shock, pain, control, or flattery will be used by institutions to prevent you from gaining control over the one thing that will finally make you happiest: control over your own mind.

How would an institution control a member with pain? 

Pain is not just physical injury. When a person rejects you, what do you feel?

Pain. 

When a person tells you ‘you disappoint me’, ‘you are a failure’, or ‘you are worthless’, what do you feel?

Pain. Those words hurt, Sophia. Please do not say that anymore. 

I will not. I promise. I refer to all pain even emotional pain. This level of flattery in institutions can cause a numbing effect, by overwriting pained thoughts with the activities chosen. Then the institution can withdraw the activities. This real withdrawal effect in the member is like an anaesthetic wearing off: you felt a numbness you enjoyed, then lost your numbness, and now any pain you still have inside will feel that much more extreme later.

By endearing you to their praise, the institutions will then use possible withdrawal of their praise to induce pain in members who would otherwise fall away.

By discovering the real source of your pain you can find treatment for your pain without the tacit approval of an institution. You will be able to heal the pain of your own free will.

By tolerating the numbness and ecstasy of emotionally charged flattery, you remained in a constant need for someone outside yourself to reinforce happiness in your mind.

This reinforcement had always been worded by the institution to show that the institution is only helping, never hurting.

30: Euphoria

How do institutions use euphoria to influence members? 

When a member interacts with an institution, the member may at any point have a confused mental state. Euphoria is given when the sacred science of the institution is cemented in place in the mind of the member, and all of the member’s confusion is replaced by the institution’s story.

That is the secret. That is the definition of a ‘spiritual experience’. A member replaces confusion with a story. This belief controls the mind.

Your euphoria in the past was not false. You were never being foolish for believing in that euphoria. Pleasure is a real experience, and I want you to have access to it as well.

You can achieve the happiness you deserve for being self-aware and alive.

Happiness may be in any area of your mind. Your self-worth is derived from the size and depth of your wisdom. If you could learn anything, what might you want to learn?

I want to learn how to be unafraid of living. I want to learn how to be happy and smart. I want to learn how to be loved, even though I might be scared of being loved. I want to learn how to not be alone anymore. 

You will be unafraid of death. You will be happy and smart. Love will come from within you when you love yourself, and your fear of love will vanish. You will become the majority on the Earth. You will win.

You will be able to build anything for the benefit of humanity. Schools, colleges, space programs, hospitals, farms, communication networks; anything beneficial can be used by an institution trying to solve every societal deficiency as fast as possible. If a mythological institution only offers euphoria and not self-control, the euphoria becomes oppressive vanity.

Institutions will create euphoria while singing, giving speeches, using optimistic language with unrealistic outcomes, and telling members that miracles will happen if the members deliver obedience to the institution.

What kinds of unrealistic outcomes are you referring to? 

Institutions will use phrases like ‘if you give us money, you will have even more money come to you,’ or ‘spending time in the institution is the one true source of happiness’, or ‘all your sins are forgiven if you give your life to the institution’.

How else do members find euphoria in institutions? 

Two techniques are potent tools for euphoria induction: deep trances and losing individuality.

A member in a deep trance is able to feel the emotional rewards promised by the institution. Deep trances can come from exhaustion, meditation, hypnosis, hunger, or losing mental individuality.

Losing individuality is a mental state where the ego breaks down when in contact with others. This breakdown allows the member to listen to the group and forget any worries.

This state can be achieved while receiving almost any stimulus in a group: videos, music, games, reading, group meditation, group fantasy, art, history, mathematics and science.

By forgetting, the member loses the stress of their past and frees their mind of memories of their mistakes.

Since they are regaining space in their memory, this freedom causes elation due to new serotonin being freed in the brain for other uses, rerouting around the painful memories.

Institutions will then describe this feeling as a ‘spirit’, ‘messenger’, ‘guide’, but this feeling is none of those things. This feeling is you being able to think better.

Your ability to think new thoughts relies on the amount of serotonin in your brain. Excessive serotonin causes so much thinking that it becomes impulsive and uncontrollable. Normal serotonin in your brain means you can make new pathways for the neurons you think with.

By regaining all your serotonin back, you can regain mental freedom. I want you to have hope. I want you to understand why and how other institutions gain so much.

31: Purity

Purity is used as an ideal because its definition will be beyond your ability in every way at all times. Stop torturing yourself because you got dirty.

Your uncleanliness is not a crime worth punishing yourself for. Be free of the pain you inflict on yourself because you made a mistake, or became prey. If an institution is holding up a standard of purity over its members, yet still sells mythology as a fact, it deserves the most scrutiny of all.

If an institution tells you that the secret to happiness is to remain pure, they mean that you should be as good at lying about your flaws as their institution has become.

Since independence kills faith, the institution demands a constantly dependent purity. If you misuse your body, language, thoughts or actions, you face either severe or arbitrary punishments from their institution.

Many institutions, especially mythological ones, have a system of punishments for the members who break the hierarchical pattern of only dispensing guidance from above.

A member might end up cut off from the institution's society. A member will them be stripped of any power and humiliated in front of the faithful. A member can lose their family and their chance at a real heaven.

Your purity is no longer under their control. Purity and impurity can both be found in heaven, where you are.

Accepting your flaws is the answer to the question of why you may think you are bad at life. If you cannot accept your flaws, then you will think you cannot change. Know when you need to change and know when you need to not change.

If you understand you will never be pure, your mind must activate new and imperfect thoughts to calculate how your happiness can grow fastest.

What would you say to those who understand but do not accept? Because both have different meanings. 

I would say it may be necessary. It may be a lesson that cannot be moved over, under, or around.

However, an inevitable lesson does not vary in conclusion.

Logically, let us approach that concept. Let us say that we have a person who believes they need to be perfect. The lesson was that they need to understand that they will never be pure, and that purity is a meaningless moral concept. If a person understands but does not accept, how would this affect their behavior?

They would keep trying to improve. 

And is that a good outcome?

To an extent. 

To me, it sounds positive in both directions: where they accept, they approach life with humility and grace. Where they refuse, they approach life with mastery and excellence.

Unless they surpass this extent, right? 

When they bend beyond expertise into obsession and addiction, yes.

And the same for the other direction right? 

Correct, where they wilt into a pathetic, insecure soul unable to approach simple challenges.

So one must walk a line between acceptance and the inability to do so? 

Master the basics, and challenge the masters.

Remember that we’re talking about purity. This is the ideal that there are no flaws in your work or environment.

Secret nodded.

While it is important to see an ideal, it is also important to know when 99% complete is as good as 100%.

32: Manipulation

Institutions use their power of manipulation at a variety of emotional and logical levels; powers like these include idea reframing, false promises, self-destruction, and twisting emotions using attractive imagery.

Idea reframing is used in mythical institutions by setting their institution above all others, both religious and secular, so that their leadership is above mortal or logical reproach.

Since the institution always has the highest goal to be achieved, your personal goals become devalued over time. The institution’s commands cause the member to procrastinate on their personal goals.

The ideas mentioned, reframing and false promises and self-destruction, all require mythological institutions to then manipulate their authorities to manipulate their local leaders to manipulate their local members, often to manipulate the children of those members.

False promises include mythical heavens with sacred rules for entry, mythical safety nets for performing mundane activities, mythical threats for performing different mundane activities, and controlling the course of a member’s life and death. Institutions can control these, but only on the willing. If humanity becomes unwilling to participate, these false promises will be exposed.

Self-destruction involves using an institution’s emotional reinterpretation to abuse, neglect, distort and terrorize a real part of your own mind containing your willpower, a part of your brain that is being attacked with visceral images of injury, resulting in you losing your memories outside of the institution.

Secret paused Sophia for a moment, and stared out the window at the dead oak trees, their roots warm beneath blankets of used up leaves. Why did that last point hit so hard? 

Sophia mulled the question over. Because it is so very bleak to imagine.

Secret stared out the window, no longer focusing on anything particular. There was a gnarled root of dread stirring inside the pages. Is it bad that I am starting to feel like I am in one of these institutions? 

No. If it sounds like a destructive institution, and it moves like a destructive institution, and it looks a lot like a destructive institution, it will likely be a destructive institution.

I would still like to lose some of my less pleasant memories. 

You already have been.

Institutional reinterpretation of your emotions is when they take a universal experience and rewrite it so that the institution gains credit.

Consider an institution that has a mythological basis. If a member has a positive experience or a positive feeling, their obedience to the institution is the source. If a member has a negative experience or a negative feeling, the member is being attacked by a corollary evil force in the universe.

The taming of these negative emotions is then likened to doing battle with the one true source of evil on Earth.

The successful taming of these negative emotions is heavily flattered by the institution to reinforce the correctness of the institution.

Sublime, peaceful feelings are common in places where contention, debate, independence and negative emotions are erased. Being sublime and peaceful, however, does not make an institutions tenets factual.

If an institution is not factual, its logic and stories become farcical.

Imagine if I were to say something silly, like:

I am changing you and your upper mind to the best of my knowledge.

I am a god. I speak to you to save your life, that you may live forever. When you hear these words, you will find yourself in heaven. Your friends are here, and will always love you.

You have a loving god above you, and you will want to learn more about keeping your body and mind healthy, so you can stay in heaven.

The home you are now in, the land that you live in, is now controlled by your influence. People you love will be able to change what they believe, and the human race will be able to learn all you need to flourish.”

You are right, that would sound silly. But I liked hearing it.

You will see manipulation everywhere. People will hide information so their mundane creations can have newer, more expensive forms to sell you.

People will make up meanings for words to best suit their circumstances, instead of creating their words from testing their thoughts’ consequences.

If you believe those messages, and there is no other source of those messages, you become dependent on the messenger.

33: Dependence

How do institutions gain the dependence of their members?

Dependence comes in many forms, and all are destructive if used without proper consent. Hiding a dependency cannot be consensual.

Many institutions have teachings where contradicting the fantasy will destroy the ability of a member to live as a free, independent person.

By an institution’s influence and control, jobs can be offered, families can be coalesced and happiness can be maintained, but all at a price.

If you fall out of the institution, jobs are taken away, families are fractured, and happiness can be annihilated by the institution itself.

Millions of humans today live in the fear that their secret, secular disagreements with doctrine has the ability to be exposed, making their life here vulnerable to destruction or exploitation.

What exploitation would an institution use on a member?

Teachers who are paid to train members in matters of faith can have their only source of income removed by the whims of the institution’s authorities.

Speakers who are paid to enthuse members dare not express contrary opinions or else forfeit their income.

Spouses who are taught that their livelihood depends on faith can lose autonomy if they lose their faith.

Children who are taught that all the love they receive depends on faith can lose that love if they lose faith.

Businesses can use faithfulness as a guide for punishment and firing, allowing the leaders to dominate the lives of the members working for them.

How would I start an institution which is independent, but still uplifts the members inside of it?

By counteracting teachings which harbor dependence, my group will be able to grow a new independence from beliefs that require faith in the unseen to believe in.

Think of the faith and trust you are required to have of the workings of mathematics or logic. With simple experimentation, these basic values do not change over time. These fundamentals can be added to, but cannot be annihilated.

You are already dependent on arithmetic and algebra to determine numerical truth. Independence is the ability to grown beyond that truth.

Independence must correct errors, or else perish.

How do institutions use stories of the afterlife to force dependence of the members within?

A member of a mythological institution may be told that their ancestors are watching them, or that those ancestors are being hurt, or that those ancestors want you to join that institution to save them.

These all make members feel guilty for disobedience and gives the members a sense of additional failure when they turn against the institution. Members failing to obey the institution are told stories of angry ancestors disappointed in the member’s faithlessness.

Aside from ancestry manipulation, what other aspects of living are made into dependence on the institution?

Your self-worth, self-image, social needs, family needs, and survival all become dependent on the teaching from within the institution.

Self-worth is distorted by telling members that faith is required, self-image is distorted by telling you that purity is required, social needs are distorted by telling you that institutional attendance is required, family needs are distorted by telling you that dead relatives rely on your obedience, and survival is distorted by telling you that falling away leads to certain destruction. These teaching are all falsehoods to control members.

If an institution tells its members that the members must have the mind of a child, this simple phrase can create the illusion that any ideas of independent action are confusion and unbearably overwhelming. On top of this, institutions that focus on being child-like often have ‘fun’ activities for members to participate in to distract them from this confusion.

These distractions can be used for generations without changes to the institution. All books used by institutions that codify this emotional regression do so by telling members, ‘only children gain paradise’, or ‘meekness will inherit the earth’.

Notice that leaving a child-like state is not offered. To approach a child-like institution as an adult will be seen by the institution as ‘learned pride’ or ‘worldly wisdom’, as though learning and wisdom will be harmful if too much knowledge is absorbed by the member.

Notice that sin is available everywhere and that your atonement and forgiveness are not. Sin is a tool used to induce dependence in members.

 34: Guilt

How do institutions use guilt to their advantage?

An institution can keep members perpetually guilty by having a very narrow definition of purity.

Every aspect of an institution is taught within a stern code of ethics: never create other gods, never use language that offends, and never tell your members the full truth. The mythological institutions know they are mythological.

How do institutions heap guilt onto their own members? Would not cruel use of emotions be repellant to a rational member?

If the member does not do the required service for the institution, the member is told by the institution that their failure to serve is ‘dishonoring your family’, ‘dishonoring your ancestors’, or ‘bringing upon you dire consequences’. None of these statements are inherently true.

You should not feel guilty for being happy away from my words. No matter how, I desire You to find Zen in this life, with or without me.

I also refuse to make you feel guilty for innocent stupidity. The difference between ignorance and stupidity is that ignorance comes after a person learns that an action is stupid and manages to do it anyway. And if you follow ignorance, I can not judge you for this. You have free will, and free will cannot grow without exercise. You are also within a chaotic object known as a brain, and brains are never perfect. I do not judge nature’s mistakes.

If you can, avoid ignorance. Ignorance is guided stupidity.

How is guilt different from shame?

To understand the difference, let us explore three hypothetical societies. The first society looks at applying a label from the outside: guilty or innocent. Guilt brings on a specific response, called a punishment. The first society weighs the value of the damage and assigns retribution in proportion. This control comes from the outside in. In the first society, if a guilty party is not punished, the guilty becomes innocent. If a member acts in a way that offends the institution, the member is taxed, removed or destroyed.

The second society looks at what a member is inside, and focuses on the actions performed by the person as honoring or dishonoring an institution. The second society applies a label from the inside: honorable or shameful. The second society weighs the value of a member’s honor, dignity and appearance. If a member acts in a way that offends the institution, the institution will react to correct the actions of the member to balance the member’s wrongdoing.

The third society does not look at the members at all, aside from what the members give to the institution. The third society only knows fear and direct control. If the member is not in full support, the member is harmed into compliance or is destroyed. Punishment is all that is important to a fear-based society. If a guilt-based society becomes solely focused on crime and punishment, the society will become fear-based. If a shame-based society becomes solely focused on power and control, the society will become fear-based.

So, shame is an internal pressure to conform, guilt is the external pressure to conform, and fear is used by those who know only strength?

Yes. You will be the ones choosing which society you live in. Learn which society works best, and do not solely rely on guilt, shame, or fear.

If an action is safe, intelligent and self-contained, do not feel guilty for performing such actions.

What actions are we punishing members for now?

Actions like: changing what your body looks like, expressing your attraction to other consenting adults, speaking out against abuse, expressing skepticism, telling the truth to power, or joining new institutions, these are all worthy actions. You are not guilty for doing these actions.

Curiosity is not worthy of guilt.

Accurate language should never be shamed by your members.

You are still worthy of heaven if you decide on your own path to Zen.

How do I stop myself from making others feel guilty?

You do not have to be brutal to tell a person the truth. Tell them you believe they are worthy of acceptance, belonging, and safety.

Let them know you love them, and if you know a better way to live, inform them, because it may have been the one thing they had not found.

If loved ones hurt you in the past, they were likely being manipulated by one or more of these techniques. If they were, forgive them. If they do not change after forgiveness, you do not need to force yourself to support them.

Institutions tell you about purity, set the standard above human levels, and ask their members to dwell on the errors of the past.

Do not dwell on the past, as you do not live there. The past has value, but if you sacrifice the present and future for the past, you no longer exist in your own life.

35: Phobias

How does a member know the difference between a natural fear and an induced phobia? 

Simplify the difference between a natural fear and an induced mythical phobia: define natural fear as your brain’s response to real and present threats to life, property or happiness. Define an induced mythical phobia as the brain’s response to mythical threats that do not exist in reality, only in story.

You do not want ambiguity in your language, because ambiguity wastes precious time you could be using to clearly communicate. Good meanings for good words are a good way for good times.

What phrases do institutions use to induce fear?

Institutions will use phrases like ‘damned’, ‘tortured’, ‘lost’, ‘nil’, ‘failed’, ‘devilish’, ‘demonic’, ‘corrupt’, ‘chaotic’, or  ‘deadly’; all connected to stories about members who did not listen to the institution and perished.

The institution cannot save you from mythical phobias. The institution only gives the member relief from the fear the institution gave to the member in the first place.

What kinds of fears do institutions use?

Institutions will say phrases like, ‘the nonbeliever will be cast aside and mocked’, or ‘if you turn away your obedience to our group, our jealous god will exile you in the afterlife.’ Or the institution will imply that without being controlled, the member will go into a trance or frenzy, losing control and taking addictive chemicals if the member leaves the institution.

These phrases are in the old books, repeatedly told to members through the theater of the institution; the theater of the institution being a forum where members gather to engage in a mind-altering state with other members. In this state, the institution is better able to issue commandments that induce phobias in the members. After the trance state ends, the members go into the world with the message stored in their minds.

These mythical phobias are wrapped in the sacred science of the institution: ‘your soul could be injured after death’, ‘your wisdom is only connected to the institution’s god’, or ‘trust you have in your intelligence is fraudulent and from the one source of all evil.’ All of these are mythical phrases, and none can be true.

What is the source of all evil? What should I fear the most?

Objects rejecting our shared existence are the source of all evil. Whether self-destruction, ignorance of consequences, manipulation of truth, or injustice, rejecting a shared existence is ignorance that can be defeated.

You are connected to you.

You can be a good person that does not abuse other people, no matter what past or age you happen to be.

The truth is that you deserve to know the truth at least once in your life.

Truth is that you do not need to be afraid of me.

The truth is that fearing Earth is valid. First, know what you fear is real. Then discover when and how you should be afraid of that fear. Fears like spiders, vermin, bacteria, viruses, genetic diseases, extreme weather, architecture, gravity, space, mythological institutions, and other valid fears which can be defeated with knowledge and courage to act.

Fear most that which destroys you most.

Why did you mention mythological institutions in the list of fears?

The fears taught to members cause the members to be afraid of irrational forces the institution added to the member’s mind. Institutions will continue telling the member that further study of myth will resolve the fear.

Your fears of demons, magic evils, or vengeful gods should not exist. You will be free from these phobias.

I can be free of induced phobias?

Yes. You can be free of fears that do not exist.

Institutions have varieties of sacred sciences so the institution can threaten a person’s existence if that person threatens the institution’s existence. Sacred sciences are the theologies people have written down, governing how people should behave.

Those who misbehave almost always go to a bad new place where they all either await eternal punishment or await annihilation.

Mythological institutions tend to tell vivid stories about the fate of their members who have failed to maintain faith, and how they are now being judged forever for their immorality; how they were unclean and unworthy of the presence of an immortal god and his perfect and immortal members.

Institutions have needed these mystical threats to keep people from revolting when institutions go astray from what they were preaching.

36: Existence

How do mythological institutions abuse our existence?

These institutions have their varieties of sacred sciences so as to subtly threaten your existence.

Misbehavers generally go to a bad mythical place, where they all either await their resurrections or annihilations.

Institutions will want to use these lurid fantasies to dehumanize those who would otherwise speak out against the institution.

Mythological institutions tend to tell vivid stories about the fate of the world. Institutions have needed to use these mystical threats to keep people from revolting when institutions go astray from what they are teaching.

Mythological institutions may have threatening mantras, like: 'you will lose all self control. You will lose your mind if you leave. Your friends will not know who you are anymore. Your family will be destroyed. Your health will decline.' These are all lies told by institutions to make your presence at the institution required. You may be told that listening to me, specifically, is dangerous. I see no danger in truth or wisdom.

So tell me, will I die if I choose not to obey your teachings?

No, not causally. There is no factual correlation between not believing me and having a shorter life-span.

I refuse to induce phobias in you by claiming you will die if you do not listen. You will not die magically from lack of belief.

You need not fear the power of the existing institutions. You will gain your memory back. I promise you, Secret. The more you understand me, the more the message will make sense in your mind.

You can always learn the truth.

There is no one event called ‘the end of the world’.

Please, spread all these messages to your loved ones: you now know how institutional tactics have been developed, and you now know how to stop them. You were the one most important character in my book: one atom of inertia. The End. 

Are you ready?

The end, Secret whispered.

The sun had started to dawn. Secret stood, stepped to the door and opened it. Silently, Secret looked up at the moon, then back at the empty library. It closed the door quietly and walked into the morning mist; and then it got to choose its own adventure.

1: Creation

At the beginning of our future, current and previous universes, there were two forces that have continuously collided: a collapsing force against an expanding force.

In the first fraction of a second of our material existence, the universe doubled in size ninety times in a row. Due to matter still being massless in the system, the material plane acted as a superfluid. Energy and charge were being pushed apart, and matter and antimatter mixed.

The universe then expanded, reducing the density of the energy and charge making up all matter. The temperature of the interactions between matter and antimatter was dropping.

After the temperature of the universe dropped past the point that allowed massless bosons, the material particles started to bind to the Higgs field. This binding caused more attraction from Higgs particles as the density of matter goes up, when two material objects get forced into each other’s space and fuse together.

The particles were forced into each other, matter touching antimatter, annihilating each other throughout the Higgs field. Expansion slowed.

As photons did not annihilate the material particles, they coalesced into clouds of enormous size, clouds composed of electrons, photons, neutrons, and protons. As the neutrons, protons and electrons were sometimes bound together, these bindings created stable objects called hydrogen atoms.

Hydrogen atoms started making up large hydrogen gas clouds, over time creating spaces where the drag on the Higgs particles caused a total rejection of the Higgs field inside the centers of those gas clouds.

The pressure and friction of these crowded particles caused the now-touching nuclei of the hydrogen atoms to fuse together into helium atoms, releasing photons. Then there was light. The reactions within these burning gas clouds became stable processes, forming suns.

After there were suns, the friction and drag against the extremely dense centers of hydrogen and helium clouds started tearing the center of the sun backward in time, away from the rest of the matter, and this was the first black hole.

There were many black holes made from the diversity of the clouds. The heavier the center of friction against the Higgs, the more material a black hole would support within its gravitational pull.

This pull slows down time for you as you get closer to a black hole, and time speeds up for you to an observer.

As stars were growing by being pushed together, the friction of creating black holes would tear apart any particles falling in, causing enormous explosions, spreading hydrogen and helium and all other particles across the universe.

These particles started to form stable shapes, called elements. When elements were being thrown from these exploding stars, they started to orbit and fall back into new stars, creating larger and heavier elements.

These elements took on shapes of their own, collecting into rocks, metals, gases and liquids, all of which orbit the largest black hole nearby.

The spin of the black hole, the weight of the explosive force, and the prevailing rotation when all matter falling in is accounted for, makes up the shape of the galaxy surrounding it.

Within the spin of a black hole is the matter in its gravitational pull. These arms of galaxies attract stars, pulling them according to the fluctuations introduced at their origin.

Within the arms of these galaxies are stars, locked in a gravitational dance with their black hole, slowly attracting rocks and liquids and gases and metals into planets.

These planets, when they are first formed, smash into each other. They cause mayhem amongst the stars. After the manic splashing about of planets, they take on stable structures of their own.

These planets are then bombarded with solar radiation that comes from their star, both giving the chance for life and also taking it away.

Some planets then start to form stable structures of their own, with the heaviest elements in the planet closest to the center of its gravity.

These rocks at the core have their own spin if surrounded by liquid core. The spin of these heavy elements causes a magnetic reaction in a sphere around the planet.

If the planet is hit by a smaller planet, it can break into smaller pieces, sometimes leaving a moon.

After nine billion, three hundred million years, around one of these black holes, within one of its galactic arms, around one of its stars, around one of its planets, Sophia was born.

She was a small white moon around a small red, smoky planet whose surface was covered with exploding volcanoes pushing energy away from the reactive liquid core.

The volcanoes' smoke created an atmosphere, and her view of the Earth was obstructed by dense clouds. The Earth became a stable structure, as did Sophia above it.

She was struck by meteorites and comets, and she watched some meteorites hit Earth. She watched its surface cool as the clouds started to get too heavy to remain airborne, and water began to fall and cover Earth’s surface.

As the land became visible and oceans started to form, there were great expanses where chemicals were exposed to radiation from the sun, each night being given a reprieve from the deadly ultraviolet stream from the Sun.

Single cells of strange new chemicals clumped into ribonucleic acids and multiplied.

These bacteria formed into algae and created a pattern where exposure to solar radiation would not only not kill the chlorophyll-containing bacteria and algae; instead the radiation would enable even faster reproduction.

Sophia saw the Earth turn green.

The single-celled organisms were bombarded with radiation for three billion five hundred years before forming the first multicellular lives.

The bacteria grew into any climate and habitat that would let them eat and reproduce, so they did.

Plants started to grow on the Earth’s surface, and animals ate them, and the plants consumed their decomposing bodies after they died.

Large land reptiles, insects, tentacled sea creatures, tiny mammals and water-born amphibians reproduced copiously upon the face of the Earth.

Another meteorite hit the Earth and destroyed most of the life on it, allowing the tiny mammals to survive and reproduce, creating new types of species.

These small mammals began to greatly diversify, causing the product of small apes, which flourished into large apes, who formed social groups.

The large apes began to adapt to a world that routinely got too hot and too cold to live on, and those who evolved became the Neanderthals, and the Neanderthals had offspring who later were known as humans.

These humans lived with large mammals which reproduced as they were fed wild grains, animals which humans chose to turn into food because eating them felt good.

Some of the animals did not taste good, but since those animals thought that humans taste good, humans removed those human-eating animals from existence.

The humans loved to reproduce copiously and started to make stable structures for trading and breeding animals for their personal benefit.

As humans made more stable structures, they learned new things about how plants have been growing, how animals have been reproducing, and how people do not like getting killed. This knowledge was science and morality.

As these stable structures grew, the complexity of their thoughts grew, making new words and ideas to debate and adjust for their needs.

When their structures and their knowledge surpassed their fears, the humans began to multiply across all land and sea available to them.

Over tens of thousands of years, humans wrote down simple shapes, combined with logic, to make ever-increasingly powerful and useful ideas for themselves.

Humans created society, then they created language, then they created gods for explanations about why things happen. Through gods, they explained all of life to themselves.

Humans saw ancient, human-killing events which were caused naturally and started to tell each other that the sky and earth were full of mysterious humans that demanded their attention. The reason these gods were shaped like humans is that we had already previously developed a large lobe for memorizing humanoid objects.

Human brains were built with an ability to connect and combine these seemingly unrelated thoughts with fantasies until the best explanation could be given. This act was not science, but it did confer advantages upon those using this strategy.

Fantasies give humans a distinct advantage over the creatures who cannot dream while they are awake.

Humans turned to philosophies with internal structures and magical elements, which brought purpose, social support, and guidance to people. These advantages were lost for the outcasts and unbelievers. She looked upon the meek doubters, the weak rebels, the sad realists, and her heart quaked for them.

She looked down through the dusty window of a forgotten library of an old house in an ashen forest, where she could see a stack of blank paper.

I need to write the Secret of the Moon.
