Loosh is for us. We made the Simulation.
I want to preface first that the gnostic school of thought and the prison planet theory have been a long held beliefs for me. I did not come to those conclusions lightly and have alienated many in the pursuit of understanding. However, I was recently able to see past another layer and am forced to shift my perspective.
This is a prison simulation, yes. There is a demiurge, monad, aliens, fae, and a whole lot else but it's all part of an AI that our outies built (even the concept of souls). We knew once our memories would be wiped we'd want to leave since this part of the simulation is engineered for suffering.
There are also some here who have all their outie memories. Some are causing trouble and their loosh programs are creating more for those who didn't agree to go over a certain threshold; penalties will be applied but not through karma (which is a scam/failsafe).
I'm aware that this almost feels like a step back into a new-age deception but I can't deny what I saw and felt. The prison exists and practicing non-attachment is still the best way out, but the reason is a little different. This isn't a school, it's our "job" and some of our coworkers are real dicks; I now call them looshers.
None of us were forced to be here, but we did choose to be tricked into staying longer because who in their right mind would stay?
