there are gates. there are portals. there are invisible iconoclasts who design and operate them using an ancient system of transmutation that transcends the flawed conception of linear time.
there is a twilight language of symbolism that is broadcast directly into the human subconscious through which this transmutation is conducted. there is a baseline of constant psychological warfare designed to isolate and modify perception.
the behaviour of the physical realm is determined by a vast cybernetic web of causal relationships derived from the individual and resultant collective perception of its inhabitants.
this perception can be transmuted in all temporal directions, thus invalidating linear time as the governing force of the physical plane.
since the mind lacks the processing power to behold the intricacies of "reality" as they truly are, interpretation and the perception it generates rely on symbolic representations for comprehension, and therefore symbols act as units of belief.
while natural and necessary, this method of processing generates a microcosmic array of access points susceptible to forcible entry by hostile colonizing forces. through the manipulation and inversion of symbolism, the mind can be occupied and perception subsequently transmuted,
both causally and retrocausally, terraforming the cybernetic landscape into a programmable "hyperreality" overseen by a priestly caste of social architects.
in the digital age, the mass transference of corrupted symbolism as a means of sentient world building is a type of "daemon"β-βor continually running background processβ-βpredominantly automated and requiring minimal input from operators.
periodically, updated operating systems are "installed" when the desired transmutation of collective perception lies outside of the scope or capability of the existing symbolic lexicon administered by algorithmic infrastructure.
when radical modifications are introduced to the cybernetic system, it shocks its constituents by briefly becoming visible, necessitating hands-on management from the operators to curtail unpredictability and loss of control.
the most effective and frequently used form of mitigation in these cases is MASS RITUAL.
on the 11th of september 2001, a mass trauma ritual of unprecedented proportion violently hurled hundreds of millions of disparate human souls into psychosomatic chaos.
differing beliefs about the veracity of 9/11 aside, the ritual fulfilled its designated purpose, effectively camouflaging the burgeoning cogs and circuitry of the cybernetic control system that would be laid bare 35 days later as the Patriot Act was signed into law.
9/11, the Patriot Act and the decades of rapidly accelerating, all-encompassing surveillance capitalism that were born thereof comprise the most apparent illustration of mass ritual as a means to perform large-scale system updates.
such rituals are increasingly necessary as cyberneticians continue to build towards the absolute programmability of collective human perception, fostering an ecosystem constructed on a deranged golden spiral of controlled traumatic exposure.
the propagation of this cycle and the resultant terraforming of perception is contingent on its effectiveness, gauged by your consent and complicity. consent that is and always has been yours to withhold.
the empire never ended.
